Justin Bieber, Drake, Adam Lambert, Katy Perry Attend 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards

The MuchMusic Video Awards are all about music and visuals and fashion.

And hair….


Justin Bieber and Adam Lambert clearly had their manes in mind as they appeared on the red carpet for the Canadian trophyfest.

While the teen went with his time-honored look, Lambert went a little over the top—literally—by swooping his hair right over his noggin.

Toy Story Glory; Megan Fox Hexed

The summer's back. (Mostly.)

Toy Story 3 grossed a blockbuster $109 million at the weekend box office, estimates showed.

Then there was Josh Brolin's and Megan Fox's Jonah Hex, which proved a throwback to the season's lesser days of Macgruber.

The $40 million comic-book Western debuted with a barely there $5.09 million on nearly 3,000 screens. Among comic-spawned flicks, Jonah Hex ranks down there with The Phantom and The Spirit for ineptitude, per Box Office Mojo stats.

The bomb comes at a bad time, career-wise, for Fox, who either jumped or was pushed from the Transformers franchise.

Why Mobile Innovation Is Blowing Away PCs

On the heels of the latest Android phone, the Sprint HTC EVO, and as we approach iPhone 4, it seems like mobile devices and platforms are innovating at about five times the pace of personal computers.

Rapid advancement in mobile is often attributed to the natural disruption by which emerging industries innovate quickly, while established markets like PCs follow a slower, more sustained trajectory.

But there are deeper fundamentals driving the breathtaking pace of smartphone advancement. Component vendors supplying to smartphone OEMs have evolved a much different DNA than those supplying to PC makers. Smartphones are an evolution of embedded systems, not PCs, and embedded markets have long favored vendors who don’t simply provide the most highly integrated chipsets, but who can also partner with OEMs to drive system-level integration and software at a rapid pace.

Will fans go gaga for a sexier Miley Cyrus?

Hats off to you, hard-working pop tart handlers.

First, you have to find your own little JonBenet to pimp out to Disney or Nickelodeon. Then, when puberty crashes the party, you have to push your budding stars’ inappropriate-but-oh-so-lucrative sex appeal without having the exposure destroy her (see Britney Spears, Jamie Lynne Spears, Lindsay Lohan).

This month, the hardest-working handlers belong to Miley Cyrus. When it comes to burying the Hannah Montana brand and hyping Miley’s new album - Cyrus’ modestly-edgy new “Can’t Be Tamed” is out today - the 17-year-old’s people are putting on a clinic.

Her album-release show at the Sunset Strip branch of the House of Blues will be streamed live around the world; catch it at 10:30 tonight on MTV, VH1 and CMT. Friday, she performed “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” on “Good Morning America” with the ubiquitous Bret Michaels.

And there was one more creepy/unsavory/titillating thing fueling the buzz: last week, Perez Hilton tweeted an upskirt photo allegedly showing off the minor’s junk to his two million followers. Whether or not Cyrus’ handlers are deciding when she will and won’t wear underwear, they know how to balance the carnal and the cute.

Shockingly, her brain trust nailed one thing that is often an afterthought in a teen titan’s career: the music.

T.O.P cranks up the heat with Turn It Up MV! & more

T.O.P’s Turn It Up was sizzling when Big Bang screened the music video at the Big Show back in January, and it’s still blazing hot now – half a year after fans got the first whiff of T.O.P’s latest solo single, the music video has been officially released!


With the music video’s monochrome concept and T.O.P’s laidback personality, this entire production is practically oozing sex appeal. While other idols flash their abs or sing ballad tracks to capture fans’ interest, this rapper proves that he can drive any girl crazy just by gazing at a camera while sitting in a chair… fully clothed.

Without further ado, check out the MV below!

Russell Brand has his hands full as he joins gaggle of bikini-clad models by the Thames

Something was putting a smile on Russell Brand's face today and, for once, it wasn't his fiancée Katy Perry.

The British star took to the banks of the Thames in London today for a photocall to promote his new movie, Get Him To The Greek, with an army of stunning models in tow.


Russell, once renowned for his womanising ways, didn't waste any time getting acquainted with his lady friends, who were all squeezed into Union Jack bikinis.

At one point he was even seen wagging a cheeky finger at two of the models.

However, his mother Barbara was also there, perhaps to ensure her wayward son didn't get up to any mischief.

She also posed for pictures with Russell, along with her cute pet dog, at the event held at Potters Field Park, in the shadows of Tower Bridge.

What happened to Britney Spears' hair? Scruffy star in desperate need of salon trip

It looks like Britney Spears is long overdue a visit to the salon.

The pop star stepped out in Los Angeles today with a ratty head of messed up hair, clearly showing her extensions.

She seemed unconcerned about being photographed in such a state, as she dropped into the Williams-Sonoma store in the Calabasas area of Los Angeles to buy kitchen supplies and utensils.


The scruffy blonde wore a pair of her favourite slashed denim hotpants and a white vest, along with a pair of flip flops.

It's not an unusual look for Britney, who despite her fortune favours casual beach wear for nearly every off-duty occasion.

The 28-year-old has rarely been pictured without a scowl on her face in recent weeks, leading to rumours that all is not well for the singer.

Best Buy's iPhone 4 launch manual leaked?


Like the iPad launch guide before it, Best Buy's iPhone 4 launch plan has just made its wily way into our collective lap, replete with loads of details on how your favorite blue-shirted electronics salespersons are going to be spending their Thursday morning. While we've yet to see any hot scoops inside its two dozen pages (aside from some confusing, contradictory gibberish about whether Best Buy will have iPhones at launch at all) we have learned that stores will open up previously suspended preorders on launch day, accepting reservation fees for devices that customers can pick up at a later date. What we're not seeing here is anything about specific number of units, but there are various lines that caution against expecting much in the way of non-reserved phones -- should there be any, the guide advises first come first serve once the store opens. In other words, it's business as usual: call ahead and show up early. See some choice quotes from the playbook after the break.

Jackson Kids Will Go To School For First Time This Fall

After living most of their lives behind closed doors, being schooled by tutors and wearing veils in public, Michael Jackson’s three children will go to school for the first time this fall.


Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, 8 have been enrolled in a private school near their home in Encino nearly one year after the death of their father last June 25, the children’s grandmother and legal guardian Katherine Jackson told England’s The Mail on Sunday this week.

“I’d say I’m a little less strict but I’ve tried to follow the way Michael was raising them,” the 80-year-old says in her first interview since Michael’s death. “But they don’t have friends. They don’t go to school. They have private lessons at home. They’ll be going to a private school in September for the first time.”

Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford 'Belong to Each Other

Possibly least shocked of all at Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford's surprise wedding is her Brothers and Sisters costar Gilles Marini.

"Those two definitely belong to each other. I'm so happy for them." Marini, 34, tells PEOPLE of the couple's recent (and unannounced) nuptials.

Why tie the knot now, after eight years of dating? "Why not?" says Marini. "I think this is what it's all about. After all that time I think it's normal." In fact, it gets him thinking about his own marriage to his wife of 12 years, Carole.

"I met my wife – we got married in five minutes in Miami and we never really did the proper wedding," says Marini. "Trust me, five years from now, three, two, one, next year – who knows? – I'm going to give her one."

Just give us a heads up, okay?

Samsung Galaxy S Pro specs leak out?


Can't confirm these ourselves, but if Android Central's sources are to be believed, these Samsung Galaxy S Pro specs are mighty impressive. Here's what we're looking at: a Sammy-borne 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, a Super AMOLED screen that may or may not be the same 4-inch, 800 x 480 window on the Galaxy S, a strong QWERTY slider with raised keys, front-facing VGA camera, 5 megapixel back camera with 720p video recording capabilities, WiMAX support, and Android 2.1 with some TouchWiz 3.0 customizations. As for qualms, the source does drop "plastic-y" a couple times in a none-too-flattering light. Still, for those who find a lack of physical keys a dealbreaker for the EVO 4G, this might end up being a proper alternate. We'll have to wait and see -- not too long, right Sammy?

Palm still waiting on Adobe to deliver Flash 10.1 to webOS


Palm conducted a webinar this past week that addressed application development on the webOS platform. One of the questions that arose regarded Flash 10.1 and its status on the webOS platform. Palm Pre owners will fondly recall the rollout of webOS 1.4 back in February which included support for Flash 10. All that was and is still required to activate Flash on the Pre is a plug-in be supplied by Adobe. When asked about the continuing delay of this plugin, Palm could only provide the less than satisfying answer of “we don’t know what the hold-up is.” With Android still waiting on Flash and the webOS version of Flash MIA, one really does wonder how wise it is to make big promises that are heavily dependant upon third parties.

Show Lo Visits Japan to Rest, acts out a male-male love relationship

Following good friend Jolin Tsai's intimate dance with Jay Chou, Show Lo could only bring male friends with him to Japan to drive away all cares, where he acted out a kuso (comedic) version of "Grabbing shoulders at Daikanyama." In fact, it was he who footed the bill and invited the Party Boys on an outing, goofing off without minding his image.

Because he has some free time until his Wuhan concert June 26th, Show immediately told his company he wanted a brief vacation, going to Japan for 3 simple days that could be free and unfettered. Because it was Party Boy member Hong Mao's birthday, Show graciously footed the bill and invited Hong Mao and Sam in addition to his manager Xiao Shuang. The four's plane tickets, lodgings, and meals came to a total of 200,000TWD for Show.

Even though Show also has many fans in Japan, he let go of his reservations the moment his sunglasses went on as the trip was with the Party Boys, known for its goofy antics. The three guys ran to a public toilet, grabbing their lower body parts and acting as if they urgently needed to use the restroom. They caused an older Japanese man nearby to silently leave because he thought the restrooms were occupied.

Yang HyunSeok, “Big Bang and 2NE1 will do well even if they are to debut in the American music market”

Big Bang to 2NE1, and even Se7en and Gummy. This summer, we are seeing the comeback of some of the biggest artistes in Kpop. As Yang HyunSeok word it, “YG mobilization”.


Since 2NE1′s minialbum released last July, there has not been any offline album release from YG Family. And the question is why the 1 year blank for some of the great artistes in Kpop like Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en and Gummy?

Yang HyunSeok explained, “For a singer, the contents is very important when it comes to determin win or defeat. The YG members had made use of the time to make and practise their new songs. From July, the YG singers will be back in order.”

JJ Lin will be performing at this year's Golden Melody Awards

Great news for fans of JJ Lin! The singer has been confirmed for next Saturday’s Golden Melody Awards as one of its performers. It was a rough week for the GMA organizers as they found out Korean group SS501 won’t be coming in full. Nevertheless, things are back on track with JJ Lin’s special performance, as well as 10-time nominee A-Mei and last year’s Best Male winner Jay Chou to present the award for Best Album.

Jay Chou recently said he would like to see the Best Male nominees perform together, but due to Eason Chan’s voice fatigue and Khalil Fong’s scheduling conflict, the battle of the best won’t happen this year. Fortunately, fans will get to see plenty of JJ Lin as he performs the songs of each Best Album nominee, along with his own accompaniment on the piano. The category happens to be comprised of all female singers, but JJ Lin isn’t worry about their songs being different from his range. He said he is actually more afraid of forgetting the lyrics, “This is a really difficult challenge.”

In addition to JJ Lin, Best Newcomer nominees Shadya Lan, a Chord Hsieh, Lala Xu, Alisa Galper and Soft Lipa will also being performing on the show, and then present their own category together.

‘Toy Story 3’ Has $109 Million in Sales for Pixar Record

Toy Story 3 logged the biggest debut in June history, taking in $109 million this weekend and extending Pixar's streak of opening at the top of the box office to 11.

The last film of the franchise, which debuted a decade ago and introduced Pixar Animation Studios to the world, bested its competition — and predecessors — by a mile. The original movie opened to $39.1 million in 1995, while Toy Story 2 did $83 million four years later.

This time around, the cartoon added 3-D and Imax to the mix, boosting repeat business as kids checked out the film in different formats. The movie became Imax's biggest animated movie on record, taking in $8.4 million on 180 screens.

"Given the history of Toy Story, it was great to be invited to the club," says Greg Foster of Imax. The film trumped last year's Monsters Vs. Aliens, the previous record-holder at $5.1 million.

Lindsay Lohan: Drinking or Not?

When Lindsay Lohan's SCRAM ankle monitor went off, we assumed she was drinking or tampering with it. Yet her lawyer swears a test proves she was clean. On the flip side, Judge Marsha Revel revoked Lindsay's bail immediately, issued a bench warrant and set the actress/train wreck's bail at another $100,000.


Why would she do that if Lohan were so clean?

The legitimacy of Lindsay's latest test, cited by her lawyer as proof that she is "doing great at being clean and sober," has obviously drawn some skepticism. Yesterday, Radar Online reported that Lindsay's blood-alcohol level was between .03-.04 when her ankle monitor went off at a post-MTV Movie Awards bash. Under the legal limit, absolutely. But if that's true, she also had a drink or two, in violation of the court's order - and how would she then pass a urinalysis? Time.

It's possible, even likely, that she would have a .00 BAC the morning after drinking, even relatively early. You sober up, alcohol leaves your system. Boom.

Now shipping: iPhone 4 pre-orders


Sure, a lot of people that pre-ordered the iPhone 4 from AT&T and Apple have had their orders cancelled for no apparent reason, but for the majority that didn’t, your new darling is en route to your doorstop via FedEx. Huzzah. So… Who’s planning to call in sick on Thursday?

Angelababy sure of her love for Huang Xiao Ming


Their relationship has been kept low-profiled; earlier, Angelababy had secretly visited Huang Xiao Ming at a studio in mainland were she was secretly photographed. Yesterday, the couple had expressed their feelings using Weibo, where Xiao Ming had used 5 pieces of chocolate to express his love 'You are in my heart' for Angelababy, who commented on William Chan's silence, that 'Silence is a form of consent.'

Being a lead actress, Angelbaby had developed pimples from all the stress.With regards to the photographs, she had little comments, only hoping for some personal space from everyone. She does not blame anyone, and she would continue to be strong, and not give up love just because she is experiencing stress at work.

Wonder Girls & 2PM tear up California for Wonder World Tour!

The first leg of the Wonder World Tour may be over now, but the Wonder Girls and 2PM made sure to wrap it up with a bang – after roaming the East Coast, Chicago and Texas, the JYPE idol caravan finally made it to California this past weekend, hitting up Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Francisco!


There are a few things that you can only understand when you’re actually present at an event – details are often muted in blog recaps, fancams don’t always capture an artist’s presence, and even the most experienced fan isn’t necessarily able to put the energized ambiance of a concert into words. Anyone who sees the Wonder Girls & 2PM live can agree that these performers practically bleed stage charisma; just a few seconds of a song could get the crowd roaring in mere moments. You’d think that performing the same show in nine (and counting…) cities would tire you out on stage, yet the girls & guys commanded the attention of an eager, ear-splitting audience every night. At the Los Angeles show, the House of Blues was busting at the seams with attendees (including David Cook… no joke!); in Anaheim, a bra was thrown at Nichkhun twice!

Kingone Wang shows off waist, Tiffany Hsu praises his thinness

Ethan Ruan (Xiao Tian) was disgraced by reports of him starting a room with a beautiful stranger in March of this year, but actually, Tiffany was doing so earlier than him!


Passionate kissing, fevered embraces

Tonight, Tiffany's hot bed scene with Kingone will broadcast as part of TVBS' Sunday drama special, "Scent of Love". Their "firetruck lunchbox" (a sex position) and other high-level poses will demand a lot from his "male-dog waist". Actually, a lot of the intimate and passionate poses were planned by Kingone, and after filming, Tiffany felt that his waist was very thin, and was very pleased with this bed scene.

Lee Hyori acknowledges plagiarism in her 4th album ‘H-Logic’

Singer Lee Hyori acknowledges that there has been plagiarism in her latest album.


Lee Hyori recently had many fans wondering why she will not be promoting the followup song for her 4th album ‘H-Logic’ after the title song ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’. She wrote on her fancafe on 20th June, “We would like to reveal that the original composer of the songs to my 4th album is not Bahnus.”

The songs in questions are namely ‘Swing’, ‘Bring It Back’, ‘I’m Back’, ‘How Did We Get’, ‘Feel The Same’ and ‘Memory’. Hyori added, ” We will do what we have to and put that behind us, we will take moral responsibility.”

With that, Lee Hyori had ended her 4th album promotions in just 2 months without a followup hit.
