Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert Among Big Winners at CMT Music Awards

6/10/2010 11:38:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Still recovering from the recent devastating floods, Nashville got its groove back in a big way Wednesday night at the CMT Music Awards, country music's only fan-voted award show.

Emcee Kid Rock opened the show, held at the Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville, by promising to punch anyone in the face who interrupted acceptance speeches with "Kanye West-isms." That turned out not to be necessary, as country-music fans settled in for an evening of prizes, presenters and performances – including top honors for Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert.

The biggest awards – CMT calls them "Buckles" – of the night went to Underwood, 27, for video of the year ("Cowboy Casanova"), Urban, 42, for male video of the year (" 'Til Summer Comes Around") and Lambert, 26, for female video of the year ("White Liar").

People Hate Lindsay Lohan So Hard

6/10/2010 11:38:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Only in Hollywood: Lindsay Lohan's lawyer is asking a judge to delay her trial because people hate her. Seriously, he claims she can't get a fair shake with a jury.

Ed McPherson represents Lindsay in the civil lawsuit in which people allege that she terrorized them during a wild, drunken Pacific Coast Highway joyride in 2007.

This is the same incident for which Lindsay received a DUI, and which she is now on probation (and free on bail, and wearing a SCRAM device) as a result of.

Her attorney says the recent ankle monitor debacle is exactly why the civil lawsuit must be postponed - 'cause everyone wants her to crash and burn so bad!

According to McPherson, "Every facet of the criminal proceeding and every facet of Ms. Lohan's life ... have been reported on TMZ and other media outlets."

Saying this occurs "literally on a daily (and sometimes hourly) basis, there are current widespread public feelings of intense negativity against Ms. Lohan."

AT&T bug discloses 114,000 iPad owners' e-mail addresses

6/10/2010 11:38:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

The issue, which affected only iPad 3G owners, was fixed on Tuesday

A glitch in AT&T's Web site has exposed the e-mail addresses of more than 100,000 iPad buyers.

The data was downloaded by a hacking group known as Goatse Security, which obtained the information after stumbling upon a program on AT&T's Web site that would send back the iPad user's e-mail address when given a unique SIM card identification number known as an ICC-ID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier).

By guessing ICC-ID numbers, the hackers were able to download 114,000 e-mail addresses, according to the Web site Gawker, which first reported the news on Wednesday.

Samsung: iPhone 4's retina display is nice, but it's no AMOLED

6/10/2010 11:37:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


Samsung seems to have taken exception to a little sidenote made by Steve Jobs during his iPhone 4 announcement at WWDC10 this Monday. While waxing poetic on the virtues of IPS, Jobs let us know that he considers it an entirely superior display technology to OLED, and now the world's biggest display maker has a few words to say about it. According to a Samsung spokesperson, the high-res retina display on the iPhone 4 offers only a 3 to 5 percent advantage in sharpness over its own Galaxy S Super AMOLED screen, but sucks down a wasteful 30 percent more power. Moreover, Samsung believes its screens offer better viewing angles and contrast, and concludes by saying that "structurally, IPS LCD technology cannot catch up with AM-OLED display technology." And here we thought Samsung and Apple were getting along so well.

Rumors have been circulating that world star Rain is dating actress Jeon Ji Hyun. Whether it’s true or not, the agencies from both sides are denying the rumor.


For the past one year, there has been a lot of talk about the two dating from the media. In fact, it is said that they have been caught dating secretly. If it’s true though, they will be the first world star couple.

Both Rain and Jeon Ji Hyun was cast in Hollywood movie in 2009 with the former being in Ninja Assassin and the latter in Blood: The Last Vampire.

JaeBum to fly to Korea in mid June, one week later than planned… Why? ; His partner nominees

6/10/2010 11:36:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

2PM ex-leader Park JaeBum will fly to Korea a week later than initially planned to.


An official from movie ‘Hype Nation’ told OSEN on 9th June, “JaeBum will fly to Korea mid June. We will reveal it when his schedule is confirmed.”

When asked if there is a special reason to him returning to Korea later, the official said, “The German ’3D filming team’ will reach Korea on the 15th. The filming can only start after the set is finish, so naturally, JaeBum will fly to Korea later.”

There were plans initially for JaeBum to fly to Korea on the 6th and to start the movie filming from the 14th, but it seems that it will be impossible now.

The movie official added, “The filming in Korea will take about 2 and a half months. With the delay, his schedule will become more tight.”

AdMob lashes out at new iPhone ad policies

6/10/2010 11:36:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

After reviewing Apple's changes to its iPhone developer agreement, Google's AdMob reached the same conclusion that many others did: it could be screwed.

Apple this week changed the terms of the developer agreement that governs iPhone applications to prohibit developers from using advertising in their applications that shares analytic data with "an advertising service provider owned by or affiliated with a developer or distributor of mobile devices, mobile operating systems or development environments other than Apple." The most prominent mobile advertising service provider owned by or affiliated with a developer or distributor of mobile devices and mobile operating systems--AdMob--isn't happy.

"Let's be clear. This change is not in the best interests of users or developers. In the history of technology and innovation, it's clear that competition delivers the best outcome. Artificial barriers to competition hurt users and developers and, in the long run, stall technological progress," wrote Omar Hamoui, founder and CEO of AdMob, in a blog post Wednesday.

Apple's new policy would basically cut the legs out from under AdMob, since analytic data is the lifeblood of Internet advertising. Apple CEO Steve Jobs justified a similar policy banning the sharing of analytic data last week at the D: All Things Digital conference by noting that an analytics company called Flurry shared data about next-generation Apple products gathered from mobile apps without the user's permission.

Notion Ink Adam “on track,” gets funding, looks at hardware variants

6/10/2010 11:36:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


So the reports of the Adam being delayed until November were… partially mistaken. Notion Ink has updated their blog with more particular (and more optimistic) info, though they stop short of providing an actual launch date. “We are on track” is the extent of their hinting, and that’s good to hear (on track implies July or August availability), but there’s more to their post than that.

For one thing, and perhaps it is only I who did not know this, but they are looking at two hardware variants for the Adam in addition to the one we’ve seen. First, a normal LCD screen (as opposed to the Pixel Qi one), and a second, which they say is “extremely efficient on battery and much cheaper as well.” E-ink, perhaps? But with Android? We saw that before and it didn’t impress.

Madonna and "Jealous" Gwyneth Paltrow Had "Falling Out"

6/10/2010 11:35:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Women at war!

A source close to Madonna, 51, and Gwyneth Paltrow, 37, tells Us Weekly the dear pals, BFFs since 1999, are dunzo.

"They don't speak," says the insider. "I can't tell you exactly why they had the falling out, but Gwyneth can be jealous and competitive."

Although Madonna's rep denies the "breakup," the source says things went downhill slowly for the duo after Madonna split from Guy Ritchie in 2008, leaving "Gwyneth and Madonna with less in common." (Paltrow's been wed to U.K.-born singer Chris Martin since 2003.)

And to be sure, both women have a history of bagging their besties: Madge fell out with Sandra Bernhard around 1991; Paltrow cut ties with Winona Ryder in 1998.

In fact, Paltrow (who once called the singer "like an older sister") hinted at a new feud in May's British Vogue: "I'm having a situation right now with a friend where I'm feeling pretty angry."

Jennifer Aniston Lands Racy Role In “Horrible Bosses”

America’s Sweetheart Jennifer Aniston has been roped in to star as a sex-obsessed dentist in a new dark comedy/murder thriller, titled Horrible Bosses. The movie — which also stars Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, and Jason Bateman — is described as “a total departure from the other comedies she’s been doing.”

According to Life & Style Weekly, Jen’s character, Julia, is a totally inappropriate nymphomaniac, who always has sex on the brain.

“She breaks a nail during an intimate act while watching Dan (played by Penn Badgley) on Gossip Girl, compliments a guy on his privates and even admits she’s into kinky sex,” squeals a snoop who has taken a sneak peek at the script.

PlayStation 3 Goes 3D Tomorrow, Four Games At Launch

6/10/2010 11:35:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Some of the biggest PlayStation 3 games will be available to play in 3D this year. The first 3D games hit as early as tomorrow.

At an event in Los Angeles, Sony PlayStation boss Jack Tretton is just rattling off games coming in 3D this year for the PS3. These games will be rendered in stereoscopic 3D and require a 3D TV and glasses in order to experience their popping effects.

Available as early as tomorrow in 3D for your PS3 will be Super Stardust HD and WipEout HD, Pain, and the demo version of MotorStorm Pacific Rift. (Kotaku previously reported that Super Stardust and WipEout's 3D versions will be available as free updates for people who already own the games; Pain 3D, however, would cost 300 yen in Japan — no word on how the pricing will work in North America yet.)

Palm Pixi Plus now free on AT&T

6/10/2010 11:34:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Wow, that didn't take long! A couple days ago, you were paying $50 to take this thing home, but AT&T has moved perhaps quicker than any carrier in memory to adjust pricing on the Pixi Plus down to a more reasonable $0 -- on contract after rebates, of course. The only catch appears to be that you'll have to sign up for a data plan of at least $15, which corresponds to the carrier's recently-introduced DataPlus package that includes 200MB per month with overage of $15 per additional 200MB. That might seem low for your average power user on your average smartphone -- but this is a Pixi Plus we're talking about here.

T-Mobile making every phone free on June 19th

Still scratching your head trying to figure out what T-Mobile has cooking for June 19th? Well scratch no more. TmoNews is reporting that on that day, every single phone T-Mobile has in its line-up will be available for free. Their proof? A two page script for a TV commercial that is expected to be on heavy rotation over the next week and a bit. As with any offer this tantalizing there is a catch, but in this case it’s not all that bad. All you need to do get some free phones is sign up for a family plan. Anyone planning on treating their Pa (and yourself, naturally) to a new phone the day before Father’s Day?

Ah Gil Promotes 'Ex,' Refuses to Talk About Her Ex

Gillian Chung (Ah Gill), To Yu Hong, Chan Ka Heng, and Philip Ng etc went to promote TV series "Legend of Kungfu" yesterday. Been learning wing chun for a year now, Ah Gill said: "I've been busy in filming lately, plus recording music, don't have much time to learn, but I'll be in Mainland to film TV series soon, also have martial arts elements!" As for former rumored boyfriend Juno Mak's new romance, Ah Gill joked although now it's in the promotion period of EEG movie "Ex," but she doesn't want to talk about anything about her ex-rumored boyfriend: "I don't gossip, I stress and stress and stress again that I don't pay attention to these types of news."

As for being said dreamed about her ex-boyfriend, she said it's a mistake: "I was interpretation a dream for my friend on Weibo, because I dream a lot all the time, so I bought a dreams interpretation book. (Troubled all the time so you dream a lot?) Not much in the past, this past year have been filming and filming, pretty stressful."

Did Katy Perry Really Just Diss Lady Gaga?

Here are the rules of music video production according to Katy Perry: faux-lesbianism, not a problem. But whatever you do, don't bring religion into it!


Sadly (for her), not all of her fellow artists are onboard, as evidenced by Lady Gaga's newest video, "Alejandro," which came out this week.

Apparently, Ms. Perry was none too impressed by some of the video's imagery. Well, not everyone can rise to the subtle and nuance-heavy creative bar set by a cupcake bra that squirts frosting.

Jack Johnson Sets Sail at No. 1 on U.S. Pop Chart

6/10/2010 01:41:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Jack Johnson claimed his third No. 1 album on the anemic U.S. pop chart on Wednesday, despite suffering a large slide in sales.

Johnson's "To The Sea" sold 243,000 copies during the week ended June 6, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His last studio set, "Sleep Through the Static," debuted at No. 1 in 2008 with 375,000 copies.

Still, the album breaks an eight-week long streak of No. 1s selling less than 200,000 -- where five of those weeks were sub-100,000 frames.

"To The Sea" helped perk up the overall market a bit, with 5.16 million albums sold last week -- up 4% from the woefully low 4.98 million the week previous. That tally was the lowest since Nielsen SoundScan started keeping records in 1994.

Year-to-date album sales stand at 130.6 million, down 11% compared to the same total at this point last year.

In her new single "Can't Be Tamed," Miley Cyrus flaunts her defiant side. The 17-year-old superstar sings that she "can't be tamed" or "can't be changed" and neither, it seems, can some of her opinions. In recent weeks, the singer has been vocal about her pop culture dislikes – many of which may be surprising.

Here are the five things that Cyrus is just not that into:

Don’t Buy The HTC EVO, It Is A Seriously Flawed Device

6/10/2010 01:41:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Let’s start things off with a disclaimer – I love Android phones. Last year I left the iPhone and switched to Android largely because of the amazing usefulness of Google Voice, and only Android devices truly let you take over your phone with a Google Voice app and have the perfect experience. I have extensively tested nearly all Android phones to date.

Around TechCrunch I’m the die hard Android Fan (Jason Kincaid is a close second). MG Siegler irrationally loves the iPhone and it has become an important fashion accessory and self confidence crutch in his San Francisco hipster lifestyle. I’m pretty sure Apple could remove the iPhone’s ability to make calls entirely and MG would still find a way to love it. You can read his review of iPhone 4 here. Summary: “It’s Awesome.”

I was happy to use the TMobile myTouch when I first left the iPhone. When the Droid launched it was a serious step up, and the fact that it’s on Verizon doesn’t hurt either. But it wasn’t until the Nexus One that I began to think that Android phones could stand toe to toe with the iPhone even without the Google Voice boost.

An iPhone Lover’s (Initial) Thoughts On iPhone 4

This morning, my colleague Jason Kincaid wrote a very good and very level-headed post about the new iPhone (and the new iOS 4 software) from the perspective of an Android user. I’m going to come at it from the other angle.


Recently, I’ve written my takes on both the Nexus One and the EVO 4G from the perspective of an iPhone lover. Obviously, I don’t have an iPhone 4 yet, and so this isn’t a full review, but after the keynote yesterday we did get some hands-on time with the new device. So I figured I’d write down my initial reaction after playing with the new hardware for about 20 minutes or so. Before I go any further, I’ll save you the suspense: it’s awesome.

Sprint admits it overstated initial HTC EVO 4G sales

6/10/2010 01:40:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Available since last Friday (June 4), the HTC EVO 4G is hands-down the best smartphone that Sprint has ever had, so it’s no wonder that lots of customers want it.


Initially, Sprint announced that “the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on launch day was three times the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined.”

However, the carrier’s estimations were wrong. An updated press release has showed up on Sprint’s website, correcting the mistake. As it turns out, launch day sales of HTC EVO 4G were actually “six times greater than launch day sales of Samsung Instinct and nearly twice the launch day sales for Palm Pre.” Sure, this still makes the EVO Sprint’s best-selling handset on launch day, although the carrier is shy on providing exact sale numbers – it’s estimated that about 200,000 units were sold over the week-end.

Jay Chou reportedly made 550 million last year. His company JVR Music confirmed the rumor was indeed true, “Jay supports good movies, good directors. They needed money at the time, so Jay helped out, but we can’t disclose the actual amount.”


Seediq Bale producer Huang Chih-Ming responded, “Director Wei worked as the assistant director on the pre-production of Monga. We later collaborated on Secret. He thinks it’s very cool of director Wei to make Seediq Bale. He loaned us some money after knowing about our financial difficulties. It was paid back to him in April. We had a written acknowledgment. He only charged us $1 for interest, so we are very grateful for his help.”

Lin Chiling's maiden J-drama may face cancellation

6/10/2010 01:39:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Taiwan model-actress Lin Chiling's maiden Japanese drama serial "Moon Lovers" suffered from dismal ratings in Japan and may face cancellation, reported Taiwan media.

The first episode of Fuji Television's highly anticipated romance drama "Moon Lovers", which also stars Japanese heartthrob Takuya Kimura, garnered ratings of 22.4 per cent when broadcast in May at the 9pm time slot on Mondays.

However, ratings dropped steadily until it hit a low of 15.5 per cent during the serial's fourth episode, a record low for a drama starring the ultra-popular Kimura.

Kimura's earlier drama "Hero" holds the record for being the highest rated drama serial in the same time slot with ratings of 34.2 per cent.

The Japanese actor is so popular in Japan that any drama he appears in was virtually guaranteed good ratings; however, it appears this was not the case for "Moon Lovers".

With the sales of Fuji TV's "Saigo no Yakusoku" (released on the 2nd), a New Year drama special DVD starring popular group Arashi, at 126,000 copies within its first week of release, they have achieved first place in the comprehensive DVD sales for the week of 6/14. Not only it is the first time a drama-related product has broken through the 100,000 copies mark in its first week, it is also the highest first week sales ever recorded in the history of drama DVDs.

This product has sold almost three times as much as the previous first week sales record for drama DVDs of 41,000 copies, held by "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (First Season) Vol. 1" (released in January of 2009). The current accumulative sales record of 75,000 copies for domestic drama DVDs by "ROOKIES Omote BOX" (released in July of 2008) was also surpassed in one mere week.

Lawyer: Lohan's SCRAM Device Indicated "Small Amount of Alcohol"

6/10/2010 01:38:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

In a statement Tuesday, Lindsay Lohan's lawyer said the actress' SCRAM device indicated the "presence of a small amount of alcohol" Sunday night.

"Having just received the report, I am not in a position to speak to its accuracy or validity, however Ms. Lohan maintains that she has been in complete compliance with all of the terms of her probation and her bail," attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said in the statement.

The statement comes after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued a bench warrant late Tuesday, claiming the actress, 23, was "in violation for conditions on bail" after her SCRAM bracelet went off at an MTV Movie Awards after-party. (Lohan was ordered to wear the alcohol-monitoring bracelet last month following a failed court appearance in connection to her two DUI convictions.)

Keen to get iOS4 on your iPhone before Apple officially release it on July 21st? Turns out, with the iOS4 Golden Master (GM) release in the wild – which Apple pushed out to developers after Monday’s WWDC keynote – those of us with iPhone 3G or 3GS handsets can now take advantage of the new functionality, and thanks to a little hacking you can also jailbreak an iOS4-running iPhone 3G and enable the custom wallpapers and multitasking Apple don’t want you to have.

Pixelated Geek run through all the instructions, and it looks like a relatively straightforward process getting iOS4 onto your device. After that, there are a few – slightly more complex – tweaks you need to do in order to get custom wallpapers and multitasking support on the 3G; of course, the 3GS supports those natively.

Shania Twain Is Officially Divorced – and 'Radiantly Happy'

Two years after getting her heart broken by her husband's relationship with her best friend, Shania Twain is legally single again – which is not to say she's back on the market.

Even as her divorce from Robert "Mutt" Lange was quietly being finalized in Switzerland, Twain, 44, was looking like a woman in love at the Swiss Red Cross Ball on May 29. Dancing the night away with Frédéric Thiébaud (the other woman's ex-husband), 40, "she was radiantly happy," says a source close to her.

"Her happiness certainly shone through," says her friend Stéphane Lagonico, an ambassador for the Swiss Red Cross, who organized the ball. "They are a great addition to each other's lives."

With the divorce final this week, according to documents filed in Switzerland, Twain is moving on with her life. She's prepping to shoot Why Not? With Shania Twain, her series on the Oprah Winfrey Network, amid speculation that American Idol is courting her to be a judge after her successful stint as a mentor this season.

And Thiébaud is firmly at her side through all of it. "Shania and Fred are a couple that fit together," says a friend. Adds the source close to her: "Things are getting really serious with Fred."

We call this one Prostitution Whore: The Video! The official Danielle Staub Sex Tape — starring the Real Housewives of New Jersey outcast — will hit shelves everywhere adult-themed smut is sold on June 14. And no, it wasn’t shot way back when no one knew who this woman was; it was made last September, according to TMZ, which reports that the 47-year-old ex-con-turned-Garden State socialite appears in the extremely graphic, Not Safe for Work, Life, or While Eating, X-rated video romp with an unidentified male.

This is the second time in the past year that the Bravo reality personality has caught herself at the center of a sex-fueled controversy. In June 2009, Staub was forced to obtain a court order barring former boyfriend Steve Zalewski from peddling a video of the two of them in the throws of passion.

Please, Hustler, think of the children! Given the look of this woman’s surgically-altered mug, we can’t imagine how many times the phrase “Baby, let me hit it from the back” is featured in this footage. Brain Bleach!

Britney Spears Sexual Harassment Suit Threatened By Former Bodyguard Fernando Flores

Britney Spears may soon find herself on the receiving end of a multimillion dollar lawsuit as she battles allegations that she sexually harassed a former bodyguard.

Ex-law enforcement official Fernando Flores, 29, has abandoned his position as head of the pop tart’s security detail after the mother-of-two allegedly tried to seduce him by parading around naked on numerous occasions. What Britney considers foreplay and seduction, Flores has branded systematic torment; he is reportedly considering filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against the “Gimme More” star.

“She was always giving him the come on and he felt if he didn’t reciprocate he could lose his job. He finally handed in his notice last week and is considering legal action. Working for Britney is tough. She’s a nightmare to deal with and her emotions are totally out of control. She runs round the house naked and yelling at staff,” spills a friend of Flores.

A distraught Flores also confided to pals that Britney routinely beckoned him into her bedroom, despite his attempts to keep their relationship strictly professional.

HTC EVO 4G meets magnetic macro lens, shoots gorgeous closeups

As phone accessories go, protruding lens attachments are rarely top of our wishlist, but this one here might just alter our perspective a little bit. Good and EVO have gone to the trouble of obtaining a magnetically mountable macro lens to test out how well the EVO 4G's camera performs with a little more optical prowess. The answer is that in spite of the inevitably goofy appearance, the jumbo Android handset delivered some highly impressive imagery, getting really up close and personal with its subjects and picking out exquisitely tiny details. The results are certainly of a caliber unobtainable with the default optics and well worth checking out -- the source link is where that party's at.

First Verizon Motorola Droid 2 A955 photo shows up?

Verizon is readying two new Motorola Android phones for the coming months. One of them is the Motorola Shadow / Xtreme – appeared until now in several leaked photos. The other one is the Motorola Droid 2 (A955).

Reportedly, the Droid 2 A955 has features similar to the ones of the Shadow / Xtreme, but it’s thicker because, like the first Droid, it has a sliding QWERTY keyboard.

Droid Life claims to have a photo of the Motorola Droid 2, showing the handset to be slightly different than the Shadow / Xtreme (pictured on the right):


Neither Verizon, nor Motorola has confirmed the existence of the Droid 2 and the Shadow / Xtreme. However, the handsets seem real enough, and they might hit the shelves really soon. Until then, Verizon’s customers can still try to buy an HTC Droid Incredible.

Enteroviruses (virus in the digestive tract) hits the entertainment circle!

My health has become very weak. Finally after getting 10 hours of sleep last night, I'm feeling a lot better. You ask me what's the best birthday gift this year, I will seriously tell you: I want good health!"

Love using on Weibo, after Joey posted the message of her current condition, there was no further reply from her. Even when her good friends from the industry left comments asking if she's ok, Joey did not reply. This made everyone worried about her, wondering if she got infected by the enterovirus! Fortunately last night, Joey left another message telling everyone not to worry. Reporters called Joey's manager Mani Fok to confirm. She frankly said that at first they were afraid she got infected: "Because Joey was having diarrhea constantly, didn't know what happened to her until we went to see the doctor! The doctor said she's just working too hard and has weak immunity! For now, she won't be going out, she really has to rest now!"
