Katherine Heigl and Co. Can't Heat Up the Summer

6/07/2010 12:55:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

A year ago, Up was hot, and The Hangover was hotter.

That was then. This is the cooled-off now.

The Katherine Heigl-Ashton Kutcher team-up Killers bowed in third place at the weekend box office, with an estimated $16.1 million, while the Judd Apatow-approved comedy Get Him to the Greek took second, with $17.4 million. Put 'em together, and what did you get?

A combined gross that's less than what The Hangover (or Up) did this time last summer.

The other new wide releases, the family comedy Marmaduke ($11.3 million) and the horror movie Splice ($7.5 million), were even less potent.

Shrek Forever After managed its third straight box-office win on the strength of a $25.3 million Friday-Sunday—a gross that would've put it in third place on this weekend last year.

"The last two weeks have been a disaster really," Exhibitor Relations' Jeff Bock said today. "Usually, we see these kind of grosses for films in August."

Studio execs were more optimistic, as is their right, saying they expected things to heat up as schools let out kids—and potential moviegoers—for the summer.

Les Grossman/Tom Cruise Jennifer Lopez Dancing [2010 MTV Movie Awards]

6/07/2010 12:55:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments


Tom Cruise delievered side-splitting laughs during this weekend’s 19th Annual MTV Movie Awards by appearing in character as his Tropic Thunder alter ego, Les Grossman. Dressed as a cloud, The Hangover’s Ed Helms sang his famous “Stu’s Song” while a tiger-leotard-clad Ken Jeong performed a hilarious ballet solo. Les spoiled the recital by booting both of them off the stage. But hilarity ensued when the profanity-spewing Hollywood producer burned up the stage dancing alongside singer/actress Jennifer Lopez to Ludacris’ “Get Back!”

Suri must be so proud.

Christina Aguilera MTV Movie Awards Performance Medley [VIDEO]

6/07/2010 12:53:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Christina Aguilera comeback seems almost destined to be ill-fated, particularly since chatter that the “Reflection” singer swagger-jacked a new identity from Pop “It Girl of the Hour” Lady Gaga is still prominent on the blogosphere. Of course watercooler naysayers didn’t stop the lipstick-lovin’ powerhouse from stomping even further away from her balladeer background in a futuristic, multi-media extravaganza medley of “Bionic,” “Not Myself Tonight” and “Woohoo” from her upcoming album, Bionic, during last weekend’s 2010 MTV Movie Awards.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Kiss at Movie Awards

6/07/2010 12:53:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Finally, they kiss!

Months after dodging questions about their off-camera relationship, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were forced to put on a little PDA at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards: The duo won Best Kiss!

Stewart told the audience that she knew everyone wanted to see them kiss.

Before they briefly smooched, they kept goofing off (at one point, Pattinson pretended to trip over Stewart).

The crowd loved their antics.

Earlier in the night, Stewart won for best female performance for her role as Bella in the Twilight series.

As usual, her acceptance speech was awkward.

"I guess Twilight is really awesome, and I agree," she said. "Woo!"

Pattinson also walked home with best male performance for his role as Edward. He even thanked Stewart and his parents "for conceiving me."

Yep, the iPhone runs Android 2.2, too

6/07/2010 12:53:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Sure, we might be seeing some big changes to the iPhone tomorrow, but what if you could see some big changes on your very own iPhone, today? Well, you can if you're brave enough to try installing Android on your iPhone, which we've seen done before, but not with Android 2.2 (otherwise more deliciously known as Froyo). Still not convinced that such a thing is possible? Then head on past the break for the video evidence, and hit up the link below for the complete, not-for-the-faint-of-heart instructions for performing the feat yourself.

P.S. Of course, "runs" isn't exactly the same as "runs well." The iPhone in the video apparently got noticeably hot after five minutes of use, and there's some issues with Android not recognizing little things like WiFi or the phone's GPU.

Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise Steal the Movie Awards

6/07/2010 12:52:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

The 2010 MTV Movie Awards got off to a filthy, curse-laden and hysterical start thanks to Tom Cruise -- err, Les Grossman a la 'Tropic Thunder' -- and the ridiculousness known to go hand-in-hand with MTV awards shows continued. As Cruise made several cameos -- including an in-person ditty with J-Lo, the night's most poignant moment came courtesy of Sandra Bullock, who made her first public appearance since the Oscars ... and since the cheating scandal that sent her personal life into rubble


After Cruise's raunchy bit and an opening from host Aziz Ansari, the first award of the night went to Kristen Stewart for Best Female Performance. The night's second prize for Breakthrough Performance went to 'Up In the Air' starlet Anna Kendrick

Cruise's reincarnation as Les Grossman continued through the night, as he did his signature Ludacris dance and even did an amazing duet with Jennifer Lopez.

The night's most anticipated moment came when Sandra Bullock accepted her Generation Award. Speaking in public for the first time since her personal life imploded thanks to Jesse James' infidelity scandal, the Oscar winner received a standing ovation from the crowd before taking the mic.

Yahoo Goes All In With Facebook: Here Are The Screenshots

6/07/2010 12:51:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Tomorrow Yahoo will announce a relaunch of Yahoo Profiles and their “all in” integration with Facebook Connect, including on the Yahoo home page. We’ve all known deep integration with Facebook was coming, but until now it wasn’t clear exactly how deeply Yahoo would go.


The answer – pretty deep. Users will be able to log into Facebook right on the Yahoo home page as well as other places throughout Yahoo, like mail. Most interactions on Yahoo will, like leaving comments on stories and status updates in mail and on the home page, will give users the option of posting that content as well to Facebook.

All of this goes hand in glove with the recent privacy updates and move from a friend to a follower model within Yahoo.

Palm Pixi Plus now available on AT&T for $49.99

6/07/2010 12:51:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

AT&T released the Palm Pre Plus on May 16th and a few weeks later we see that the Pixi Plus is now available on AT&T for $49.99. PreCentral posted their full review of the new device that has hardware virtually the same as the Verizon Pixi Plus device. One major difference is the lack of WiFi hotspot functionality that is actually a free service with Verizon Wireless.

It looks like the Palm Pixi Plus is a decent low cost smartphone, but the 2 megapixel camera is pretty anemic and the slower processor really make it a rather poor choice compared to the Pre Plus. While Dieter at PreCentral really wants to like the Pixi Plus form factor, even he recommends the Pre Plus over the Pixi Plus. With the new iPhone being announced this coming week on AT&T I really do not see either of these Palm webOS devices selling that well on AT&T.

HTC EVO 4G overtakes Palm Pre for best-selling launch day on Sprint

6/07/2010 12:50:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


Considering the lackluster career that Palm's inaugural webOS duo ultimately endured on Sprint, it's wild to think back to those heady days when the Pre was the carrier's best launch day performer in history -- but alas, no longer. As you might've expected, the mighty EVO 4G has shown the Pre the door to take its own place in the record books, a mark we're not surprised to see considering the activation issues many customers saw on Friday as Sprint's systems buckled under the load. Sprint isn't quoting figures, but it proudly boasts of "temporary shortages of the device at some of the 22,000 sales locations across the United States" that are in the process of being replenished with daily deliveries. Now, the next hurdle is to see whether Sprint's shared WiMAX infrastructure can stand up to the load of its first wildly-successful 4G consumer product, eh?

Lindsay Lohan is used to wearing revealing dresses on the red carpet.

But at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards in Universal City, Calif., she wore Pamella Roland’s gunmetal-silver-pearl ombre beaded halter jumpsuit.

The reason: To hide her SCRAM device.

The actress, 23, who was ordering to wear the alcohol-monitoring bracelet last month following a failed court appearance, has been trying to find different ways to make it chic.

She even recently Twittered: “can CHANEL please help me out by getting me some stickers to put on my scram bracelet so that i can at least wear a chic dress?! maybe!? x”.

Apple patent application hints at solar-powered iPhone

Solar-powered Apple patents are nothing new, but we'd always thought Steve intended to blanket his devices with the technology. Cupertino's latest patent application shows different -- the photocells are inside. "By integrating both the touch sensors and the solar cell layers into the same stack-up, surface area on the portable device may be conserved," reads the filing. Nerd to English translation: the next iDevice you hold might have energy-giving solar panels built right into that spacious, responsive multitouch screen.

'Shrek' tops the box office ogre and ogre again

6/07/2010 01:15:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Four new films entered the ring against Shrekat the box office this weekend. Each limped out, failing to dethrone the formidable ogre.

Shrek Forever After claimed the top spot at the box office for a third consecutive weekend, a rarity for a summer film season that packs tent-pole films like planes on a tarmac.

Shrek raked in another $25.3 million, according to studio estimates from Hollywood.com. That brings the film's three-week total to $183 million and should propel Shrek past $200 million by next weekend.

Though the movie isn't a hit with critics — only about half of whom recommended the movie, according to RottenTomatoes.com —Shrek continues to dominate the vital family demographic.

"Over the years we learned adults love Shrek as much as the kids," says Anne Globe, head of worldwide marketing for DreamWorks Animation, which released the film. "I think people are telling their neighbors they need to see him one last time.

Considered the best hope of knocking off Shrek, the R-rated comedy Get Him to the Greek had a solid-if-unspectacular debut of $17.4 million. The debut was $2 million less than some had projected.

Miley Cyrus ends her London visit with a bang: Singer gives the crowd at G-A-Y her raunchiest performance yet

6/07/2010 01:10:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Miley Cyrus has gone to great lengths to shed her 'good girl' image and it won't be long before we've forgotten about the wholesome teen who played Hannah Montana.


The singer has been in London promoting her forthcoming album Can't Be Tamed and she made sure that she lived up to the title of the new LP with an outrageous performance at G-A-Y this weekend.

Miley, 17, would have been made aware that performers at the club often put on their most raunchy routines at the infamous club which no doubt gave her the impetus to go that little bit further for the largely homosexual crowd at the venue.

Scarlett Johansson AND Hubby Ryan Reynolds TO Renew Their Wedding Vows?

6/07/2010 01:09:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

SCARLETT Johansson and her hunky husband Ryan Reynolds are set to prove to the world their marriage ISN’T on the rocks — by renewing their wedding vows, according to reports.

Sources say the couple — who first got married in a secret ceremony in Canada in September 2008 and recently splashed out on a rusty old barn in Louisiana — are planning to mark their second wedding anniversary by holding another commitment ceremony, and have already asked friends and family to attend.

“They have already sent out ‘save the date’ invites for the ceremony, which will take place on their wedding anniversary,” said one insider.

“Like their wedding, it’s going to be an intimate ceremony with only a handful of family members and close friends. Ryan is close to Scarlett’s family, including her twin brother Hunter and her younger sister Vanessa, who lives near Scarlett and Ryan in New York.”

Reports last month claimed Scarlett’s relationship with Ryan was becoming strained because they rarely see each other.

Adobe: We know we're hackers' favorite target

6/07/2010 01:09:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

But it's making the right moves to shut the door on attackers, say experts

Adobe knows there's a target on its back. But it's OK with that.

"We're in the security spotlight right now," said Brad Arkin, Adobe's director for product security and privacy, in an interview this week. "There's no denying that the security community is really focused on ubiquitous third-party products like ours. We're cross-platform, on all these different kinds of devices, so yes, we're in the spotlight."

Arkin's right: Some Adobe software, especially the free Adobe Reader PDF viewer and the also-free Flash media player, are not only in the security spotlight but also in hackers' cross hairs.

According to Finnish antivirus company F-Secure, 61% of all targeted attacks -- ones purposefully aimed at specific individuals or businesses to break into company networks -- in the first two months of 2010 exploited a bug in Reader. Rival security firm McAfee, meanwhile, estimated that 28% of all exploit-carrying malware in the first quarter of this year leveraged a Reader vulnerability.

Acer beTouch E130 kicks it BlackBerry-style, but runs Android 1.6 (video)

6/07/2010 01:08:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


It's not everyday that we come across an Android phone with an exposed keyboard, so naturally Acer's beTouch E130 caught our eye here at Computex. The BlackBerry-esque phone is equipped with a 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen display, a scroll ball and a full QWERTY keyboard. In hand the device felt really solid, and though the screen is smaller than most Android phones, the rough-feeling scroll ball is great for navigating the menus. The keyboard is probably our favorite part of the phone -- like Nokia's E71, it has a rubber-like coating giving the keys a nice bounce. But all of that good stuff came to a bit of a halt when we realized that the E130 is part of Acer's lower end BeTouch line -- it packs only a 416MHz ST-Ericsson CPU, 256MB of RAM, and 512MB of ROM. Additionally, it runs a now-dated Android 1.6 OS. We guess we can't expect every smartphone to boast a 1GHz Snapdragon and a beta version of Froyo, though. Vid's after the break, if that's what you're into.

Gillian Chung lets Alex Fong go, don't want to be third person

6/07/2010 01:07:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Yesterday Gillian Chung, Alex Fong and director Jeff Lau attended the promotional event for EEG's new movie <The Fantastic Water Babes>. This is the first time rumored couple Gillian and Alex appeared together in Hong Kong after the filming ended. At first the two were avoiding each other a little, but then slowly got warmed up. Reenacting the bike scene, Alex was not afraid to put his hand on Ah Gil's waist, having a close interaction.


Later Ah Gil was asked if she thought back to the "old love" when reenacting the scene? Ah Gil said: "It's the love in the movie! (Did you already ask if he and Stephy Tang got married?) I already did, he said no! (Relieved?) You guys are relieved, you all told me to ask!" Alex just continued to avoid answering questions about the marriage rumors.

After giving Yoona a perfume present for her Coming of Age day the last time round, it was revealed that Taecyeon had given another present to Yoona for her 21st birthday.


A Family Outing staff said on the 4th in a phone interview, “May 30th was Yoona’s birthday and all the family members who knew beforehand, prepared presents for her. But what caught the eye was Taecyeon’s present, who prepared a Y-initial necklace for Yoona. He had originally decided on shoes but switched to giving a necklace instead. We know Taecyeon is a very meticulous and friendly person, but we were still pretty shocked by his actions.”
