The American public has such a conflicted relationship with Tom Cruise that sometimes it feels like we're all in marriage counseling together: Tom sitting on one side of the sofa and 307,006,550 of us on the other, trying to explain why we love him so much when sometimes we're not sure if we even like him.
All these colliding emotions about Tom came out last week when a video of him and his wife, Katie Holmes, mugging their way through a charity benefit performance of 'Whatever Lola Wants' went viral online. (Following copyright complaints, the clip has since mostly disappeared from the Internet.) People couldn't get enough of the couple, even though many still can't shake the feeling that something is not quite right about their relationship.
As we prepare for the marketing blitz around the June 25 release of his action-comedy 'Knight and Day' with Cameron Diaz, We thought it was time to take stock of our relationship with America's greatest movie star. He does seem a bit more subdued, as his appearance on The Oprah Winfrey show this week, minus the couch jumping, showed

It’s been a while since the Wonder Girls released a new song after Nobody in 2008, so of course when they finally announced their new song 2 Different Tears, all Wonderfuls and neutrals were hyped to see what the hit-making Wonder Girls would put out this time.
A lot has happened since they made America as their headquarters and so on. But the biggest change was Sunmi leaving and Hye Lim coming in as a replacement earlier this year. It was a shock but life has to go on.
Having heard the teaser and seen the pictures, it was great to see the MV as they really rock it with their retro funky concept and you have to say no one does retro like them. The funny cameos by Bobby Lee and JYP further increases the replayability. I was worried that they would fall short of expectations because of the long gap, but the Wonder Girls and JYP really released a gem of a song again!

2PM TaecYeon sheds tears, attracting the concerns from fans.
2PM attened the tvN ‘X-Concert’ on 15th May in Seoul Mapogoo. Even though they are known to be beastly idols showing their overflowing charisma on stage, they were seen shedding tears that day on stage.
After the performance, TaecYeon was seen tearing, and member ChanSung offered a comforting hug. And then MC Gil also offered tissue paper to TaecYeon.
Photos of TaecYeon tearing were posted online immediately after the performance, and garnering much interests from netizens. Fans’ comments were, “Were those tears of a beast?”, “I don’t understand why he cried all of a sudden”, “TaecYeon oppa don’t cry. We are here for you” etc.

There are actually days when we envy those who are paid to hawk telephones. Today, for instance, we hear that certain Sprint employees have recently obtained an HTC EVO 4G. However, our jealousy is tempered by the fact that we've already spent considerable quality time with the superphone, and, quite frankly, by the ridiculous packaging you see immediately above. Pardon our french, but it looks like a microwavable food tub. See a pair of close-ups after the break.

Amidst the return of hard-hitting senior artists including their senior artist Rain, the members of MBLAQ are finally back with their comeback track Y!
As the MV teaser promised, Y is a sexy dance track with an infectious beat and repetitive hooks complete with sad lyrics and an underlying darkness. I’ve only heard this track in full a few times, and I’m already really, really liking it; how about you?

She was featured for an interview on KBS Entertainment Weekly aired on 15th May when she was asked what are the things required to “become like Lee Hyori”.
Her answer was, “The first thing, you need to be truthful and confident. People say that when I smile, I show too much gum. But that’s how I was born, what can I do about it.”

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? Just a week after hearing that HP would soon be refreshing its TouchSmart tm2 convertible tablet with Core i3 and Core i5 options, in flies this: an Amazon product page confirming as much. The 12.1-inch, 4.72-pound TouchSmart tm2-2050us is currently in pre-order status, rocking a 2.13GHz Core i3-330M processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 640GB hard drive (5400RPM), Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), a WXGA LED-backlit display, Intel's integrated graphics set, Altec Lansing speakers, a 5-in-1 card reader and gigabit Ethernet. You'll also get a brushed aluminum finish, inbuilt webcam and fingerprint reader, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, a trio of USB 2.0 sockets, HDMI / VGA outputs, audio in / out and a battery good for around four hours of use. You can get in line now in exchange for $949.99, and if we were the betting type, we'd surmise that a Core i5 version was just around the bend.

Shia LaBeouf has officially thrown down and said Transformers 3 will be better than Transformers 2. But isn't every third movie installment automatically bad? And why is that, anyway?
Yes, we've seen some truly awful threequels following up otherwise good movies, including the Ewok-choked Return of the Jedi; Matrix Revolutions; and the third installments of Jurassic Park, Halloween, Robo-Cop, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Jaws and Beverly Hills Cop.
Then again, we've also been treated to...
...a pretty decent, Best Picture-winning third installment for The Lord of the Rings series.

We're not sure what's going on in Vietnam these days but it's suddenly a hot bed for industry leaks. Perhaps it's due to manufacturers expanding from China to Vietnam's relatively cheap (but limited) labor pool? Or maybe it's because the kids at Tinhte are just resourceful as hell? Whatever it is, they've just scooped themselves what appears to be an unannounced MacBook update (identifying itself as a MacBook7,1) that includes a faster 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (up from 2.26GHz) and NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM (an update from the GeForce 9400M found in the current MacBook6,1) -- right, the same CPU and GPU as the entry level 13-inch MacBook Pro but for only $999 (assuming Apple maintains the same entry-level pricing). These minor bumps aren't enough to warrant a model change, however, as we're still seeing "Model No: A1342" stamped on the box. Of course, this could be an elaborate hoax, but Tinhte has an impressive track record and these MacBook specs are right in line with what we'd expect since the white MacBook was last updated in October 2009. No word on when we'll see these announced but it's gotta be soon -- Tuesday perhaps, with a refreshed MacBook Air if we're lucky. Video unboxing after the break and plenty of pics for Zaprudering at the source link below.

An inadequate supply of parts is partly to blame for widespread shortages of Droid Incredible, Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam said on Friday. Having been unable to stockpile enough key components such as the WVGA capacitive display assemblies manufactured by Samsung, entire shipments of the HTC-made Android smartphone are selling out within hours of their arrival at retail stores. According to McAdam, the shortage is so dire that his company “had to pull way back” on deliveries in order to focus on online sales. Had there not been such a dearth of handsets available, McAdam said the Incredible would have outsold its predecessor, the Motorola DROID; some 100,000 units of the Incredible were sold during the first two days of sale. As of this morning, Verizon’s website claims that orders for the Incredible will be fulfilled by June 3rd.
