Lindsay Lohan Arrives at Court - Dressed Appropriately

Lindsay Lohan arrived early to her probation violation at a Beverly Hills courthouse Monday morning.

Wearing all black with sunglasses, she sat smiling next to her civil attorney Ed McPherson.

Her estranged father Michael also arrived at court with his attorney.

Actor Danny DeVito also showed up, though it remains unclear why.

Lohan, 24, faces immediate jail time if a judge determines that she hasn't fully complied with her probation terms from her three-year drug and alcohol case.

"I'll be there to support Lindsay," Michael previously said. "And if the judge wants to give her jail time, I'll say that's not what she needs. Recidivism is so high when someone with a drug problem goes to jail."

Andrew Garfield “Spider-Man” Salary $500K

Andrew Garfield — the British actor recently cast as a teen Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot — will reportedly earn just $500,000 to replace Tobey Maguire in the Sony/Marvel Comics blockbuster franchise.


Garfield is said to have snagged the part after studio executives for Sony were impressed by his performance in David Fincher’s upcoming Facebook drama The Social Network. He also appeared alongside Verne Troyer and Heath Ledger in the late Oscar winner’s (Ledger) final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

But impressive screen performances weren’t enough to snag Garfield a multimillion deal to become the next Spider-Man.

We hear Garfield — a virtual unknown theater actor — has been contracted for three sequels in the role of the awkward superhero, with his salary expected to rise to $1 million for the second movie and $2 million for the third.

The same contract terms were presented to the other finalists for the lead role, Jamie Bell, Alden Ehrenreich, Anton Yelchin, Aaron Johnson, Logan Lerman, Frank Dillane and Michael Angarano.

So what’s up with the measly salary deals? The silver screen experts at Get The Big Picture offer several possible explanations:

A Professional Fashion Shoot With an iPhone 3GS


When photographer Lee Morris posted images from this set on his site, some of his readers claimed they were the best photos he'd had ever taken. The joke? This behind-the-scenes video reveals how they were captured:

Samsung i8700 Cetus, Nokia E7, HTC Gold, Vision and Ace headed to the UK?

Salt-cellars at the ready, but online phone comparison site Omio reckons they’ve got the scoop on some key UK handsets set to debut in the second half of 2010. Billed as freshly leaked from an unspecified UK retailer, the roadmap contains such gems as the HTC Vision and hitherto-unheard-of HTC Ace arriving alongside the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 in October, while November will see HTC’s first Windows Phone 7 device together with the QWERTY-blessed Nokia E7 and Samsung i8700 Cetus.


The Nokia E7 sounds a whole lot like the QWERTY-equipped Symbian^3 smartphone we’ve been seeing well-leaked in recent weeks, and that has been labeled the N9 or the N8-001/N8-002 by some. Slotting into the Finnish company’s Eseries line-up would make far more sense, given Nokia’s move away from Symbian^3 in their Nseries devices; Omio say it has an alumium body, like the N8, together with a tilting AMOLED touchscreen.

iPhone 4 jailbreak and unlock coming soon

An all-devices jailbreak that will liberate the iPhone 4 from its Apple lock and permit the installation of unofficial third-party software – among other things – has been promised as imminent by one of the iPhone Dev Team, who has confirmed that the group’s next release will address the fourth-generation smartphone. MuscleNerd revealed that the next jailbreak app will work in a similar way to Spirit, addressing all devices, all bootroms and the latest official Apple firmware, with a “painless install”.

The exact timescale of the next jailbreak hasn’t been confirmed, but it seems to be going hand-in-hand with an unlock solution for the iPhone 4. While Apple are selling unlocked versions of the smartphone in Europe, in the US the iPhone is locked to AT&T’s network. So far the team have managed to inject cmd but they now need to keep that task running in the background persistently.

KangTa, “I am going to be with SM Entertainment for over 10 years to come”

Singer KangTa reveals that he will continue to be under SM Entertainment’s management for more than 10 years to come.


KangTa was present for the press conference to commemorate 1st year establishment of entertainer’s standard contracts on 6th June in Seoul YeoIlDo. He said at the conference, “It has been 15 years since I debuted as H.O.T.”

He said, “During these 15 years, I have not left my agency for once, and I re-contracted with them 4 times. In the coming 10 years, I’m going to stick with them. It is a rare case to continue under one agency for 15 years, and I was asked ‘Why do you continue with them?’. The reason is that I feel it is worthy to stay managed under this agency.”

The Most Random PETA Ad Yet

If you thought Miley Cyrus hated clothing, look at the step her ex-boyfriend has taken.

Justin Gaston is featured in the latest naked PETA ad, posing in his birthday suit alongside some girl named Giglianne Braga and some dude named Ben Elliott.


The trio star on If I Can Dream, an online reality show that chronicles their attempts to make it big in the music world. Of course, if that doesn't work out, there's clearly a career in soft porn ahead for these three.

It's unclear what message PETA is trying to send with these posters, but they practically make the Danielle Staub sex tape look PG by comparison.

Thanks to Android, HTC sales go through the roof

HTC, a company that most people had never even heard of just a couple years ago, has posted second quarter profits of 58% higher than the previous year.

Within the span of just a couple years, HTC has gone from an obscure Taiwanese phone maker no one had ever heard of, to one of the biggest names in the mobile industry. It was the manufacturer behind the very first Android phone, the G1. Since then it has created some of the biggest-selling Android devices on the market, including the Droid Incredible and the Evo 4G.

In its Q2 earnings report, HTC posted revenue of around $1.9 billion, a 58% increase over its 2009 figure. Net income saw an also-impressive 33% year-to-year jump, at around $268 million.

HTC does still have Windows Phone devices in the pipeline, but at this point its focus is extremely weighted toward Android. In total, HTC has 12 Android phones.

Apple responds on iTunes fraud, vaguely confirms said fraud


Over the weekend we saw reports of what appeared to be fraud occurring in the iTunes system -- namely, a rogue developer had somehow managed to snag 42 of the top 50 sales positions in the App Store's "book" category with seemingly bogus content. It looked as if there was some correlation between those suspicious sales and word of an increase in iTunes account fraud, but Apple had been mum on the subject over the holiday weekend. We've finally gotten a response from the company, and the folks in Cupertino say that the developer in question -- a gentleman named Thuat Nguyen -- has been chucked out of the Store altogether. Additionally, while they don't explicitly say fraud occurred, they suggest you check with your bank and kill your card if any of your info was stolen... which seems to suggest that something funky happened to some users. Here it is from the horse's mouth:

The developer Thuat Nguyen and his apps were removed from the App Store for violating the developer Program License Agreement, including fraudulent purchase patterns.

Developers do not receive any iTunes confidential customer data when an app is downloaded.

If your credit card or iTunes password is stolen and used on iTunes we recommend that you contact your financial institution and inquire about canceling the card and issuing a chargeback for any unauthorized transactions. We also recommend that you change your iTunes account password immediately. For more information on best practices for password security visit http://www.apple.com/support/itunes.


So it looks like even the walled garden isn't impervious to attacks -- here's hoping the problems were limited to a small group of people. Have any of you guys noticed strange charges on your account? Double check it right now!

Eddie Peng proves that he can hold a tune in his debut album

HIS manager for the last eight years had told the Taiwanese media that no one would dare produce his album.

Apparently, record label BMG had signed him five years ago, but put him in cold storage, reportedly because his voice didn't match his good looks.

But Taiwanese heart-throb Eddie Peng has silenced his critics.

In town over the weekend to promote his debut album Can't Not Love, the actor-singer sang live during his autograph session at City Square Mall on Saturday.

Passers-by like 31-year-old business owners Jerome Lee and Carrie Lim, who weren't Peng's fans, said he sang in tune and had 'a nice, melodious voice'.

So, were those Taiwanese reports correct?

Peng, 28, told The New Paper: 'I've had some disagreements with that manager who is now my ex-manager. He didn't let me do things that I wanted to do, for example, sing. So I've only been acting in movies and TV dramas.

'As for the record label, that was my decision at that time. I felt I wasn't ready to release an album. I'm not scared of what people would say. Criticism pushes me to improve myself.'

Has Britney Spears been airbrushed again? Singer is flawless on cover of Cosmopolitan magazine

In April, she released un-airbrushed photographs of herself posing for the new Candie's campaign to show that everyone has imperfections.

But it seems the 28-year-old singer won't be banning the airbrush on every photoshoot she does.

On the cover of the August issue of America's Cosmopolitan magazine, Britney appears to be completely flawless as she poses in a zip black bustier and low rise jeans.



And the singer also seems to be extremely proud of the cover, tweeting fans: 'I'm on the cover of Cosmo's August issue. So excited! What do you all think?

But while the majority of Britney's fans agreed she looks 'amazing' on the cover, the image a slight difference from recent photographs of her out and about in Los Angeles.

Cristiano Ronaldo's showdown with girlfriend after 'paying an American woman to have his baby son'

Cristiano Ronaldo's Russian underwear model girlfriend puts on her best poker face as she steps out for lunch with the footballer following news of his shock fatherhood.

The Portuguese star is said to have paid a surrogate mother to have his son - an American woman who asked not to be identified.

Ronaldo's new girlfriend Irina Shayk, 24, was initially reported to be devastated about the news.


According to a Facebook page in her name, she knew nothing of the birth and had been left in tears by her boyfriend's announcement.

A spokesman for Miss Shayk later denied she had said anything of the sort, and said the Facebook page was a fake.

The couple enjoyed a day out together in new York City on Sunday. 'They're trying to create a relationship,' the spokesman added.

Flash 10.1 demoed on Verizon’s Motorola Droid X (video)

When Verizon, Google and Motorola announced the Droid X, they said the smartphone would get Adobe Flash 10.1 in “late summer”, at the same time with an update to Android 2.2 Froyo.


This probably means the Droid X will be Flash-ready sometime in August – although it seems that it can already run Flash 10.1 smoothly.

Ted Patrick (Senior Technical Evangelist at Adobe) has recently demoed Flash 10.1 on the Droid X. He showed off a couple of games and an AP FIFA World Cup 2010 app (which will be rather useless when the Droid X launches, because the tournament’s final will be played on July 11, while the smartphone goes on sale on July 15).

"Ah SA! Ah SA! Ah SA!" Accompanied live by thousands of screaming fans, EEG's one 'big sister' Ah SA Charlene Choi appeared on stage at Chongqing's sports stadium. The previous afternoon, Charlene held her personal autograph session in Chongqing and although it was held several weeks following Charlene's Mandarin "As A Sa" album release, the frenzy continued as 400 copies of "As A Sa" were sold out in a dozen minutes. In the evening, she performed 4 songs, consisting of her new album's central song "Big Storm", "The Past is Not Like Smoke", "Confidant", and "Love Will Fight to Win". According to inside sources, Ah SA's onstage appearances earned her up to 6 figures.

Autograph Session 'Hot' Popularity

The previous day, Chongqing's sports stadium was unusually bustling with excitement because of EEG's older sister Ah SA arrival at the venue. Promoting her new album at the venue, she also took part in interactive games with Chongqing fans.

The new poster sees the 6 main characters, Soo Ae, Choi Siwon, Cha Seung Won, Jung Woo Sung, Kim Min Jong and Lee Ji Ah dressed in their character outfits, holding various gun models and poised to kill.

Samsung dethrones Nokia in featurephone sales (in Western Europe)

Samsung has threatened Nokia’s leading position in Europe since last year, and now things are getting really serious: in the first quarter of 2010, Samsung sold more featurephones than Nokia in Western European markets.

The South Korean company managed to sell 12.2 million featurephones in the region in Q1 (a growth of 18%), while Nokia sold only 9.1 million units (18% less than the previous quarter).

However, Nokia still performed well when it comes to smartphones, selling 4.9 million units in Western Europe and remaining the market leader with a market share of 40.8 %. Apple (with 3 million iPhones), RIM (2.4 million units) and HTC (0.9 million) follow. Samsung only sold 0.3 million smartphones in the region in Q1 – yes, the company is still struggling in the smartphone market, although new models (like the Galaxy S and the Bada-based Wave handsets) will likely be hot sellers.

Overall, Nokia is still the leader in phone sales (smartphones plus featurephones) with 14 million units sold. Samsung follows closely with 12.5 million units, while LG is on the third place with 4.1 million units.

HTC Droid Incredible shipments pushed back to August

Although Verizon will not phase out the HTC Droid Incredible, the smartphone’s shipping date is being continuously pushed back.


Right now, Verizon says the Incredible will be “shipped by August 3.” That’s way later than the launch date of Motorola Droid X – this means trouble for HTC, because Verizon allows users who pre-ordered the Incredible to get a Droid X instead. And, since the handsets have the same price ($200 on contract), I think lots of initial Incredible customers will eventually go for the Droid X.

As previously mentioned, HTC can’t make enough Droid Incredibles because Samsung can’t afford to sell AMOLED displays to other companies (including HTC), since it can barely produce them for its own phones (which, by the way, are wildly successful).

Park Shin Hye and KARA’s Seungyeon for It Started With A Kiss?

Earlier today, allkpop has reported the hot rumors about Kim Hyun Joong and CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa’s possibility as the leading male role in the upcoming drama It Started With A Kiss (Playful Kiss).


To add onto even more excitement to the possibilities of this drama’s breath-taking cast, KARA’s Seungyeon and Park Shin Hye are also rumored to possibly play one of the main female roles in this drama, joining Park Bo Young who will most likely be playing one of the main female characters.

The drama representative stated, “The other main female character will be decided between Seungyeon or Park Shin Hye.”

Just like the hit drama Boys Over Flowers, It Started With A Kiss is also based off from a Japanese manga, Itarazura Na Kiss. With just a limited amount of information released, eager netizens are already on the edge of their seats.

So Ji Sub bore the full expenses of Park Yong Ha’s funeral; Ryu Si Won Sheds Tears Reminiscing About Park Yong Ha

So Ji Sub bore the full expenses of Park Yong Ha’s funeral


The tragedy of Park Yong Ha’s suicide has left many in the world saddened, and especially So Ji Sub who was the first to reach the mortuary upon learning about his best friend’s death and staying throughout the funeral proceedings.

It was revealed recently that So Ji Sub had bore the full expenses of Park Yong Ha’s funeral which was no small amount to begin with. He apparently also told Park Yong Ha’s parents during the funeral, “From now on, I am also your son.”

So Ji Sub’s actions has left netizens touched, envious (of their friendship) and impressed with So Ji Sub for showing what true friendship is all about.

So Ji Sub’s agency said, “We did not want to publicize this matter, so we aren’t sure how this got out. So Ji Sub himself does not want to talk about this, so we hope that there won’t be reports about it and that Park Yong Ha can rest in peace.”

Taeyang and Sandara Park film a new MV for I Need a Girl

Even though Taeyang’s music video for I Need a Girl was already released, it looks like both Taeyang and 2NE1’s Sandara Park will film another whole new music video for the song.


Dara will be doing more dancing in the new video, and has been working hard on filming it starting on the 5th, and working until the early morning of the 6th.

The reason they wanted to film an entirely new video was because of the overwhelming response to Taeyang’s deluxe album that sold out in mere minutes.

They wanted to celebrate his regular album release, and what better way to do so then film a new video for fans to enjoy?

Anna Faris strips for first nude scene in new movie What's Your Number?

She previously starred as a Playboy bunny in 2008 film The House Bunny.

But earlier this week 33-year-old Anna Faris shot her first fully nude scene as she stripped for new movie What's Your Number?

The actress was joined by co-star Chris Evans as they filmed scenes for the upcoming romantic comedy in Boston.



After starting the scene in an orange underwear set, Faris quickly shed her clothes before she and Evans jumped into the cold waters of Boston Harbour.

The film, due for release in 2011, tells the story of a young woman who reflects on the 20 men she has had relationships with, before decided to go back and revisit each man in case he turns out to be 'the one'.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to Make Millions From Final Twilight Films

ROBERT Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are set to receive at least $25 million each for starring in the final two movies of the hit franchise.

As well as the enormous sum, the trio will also receive a share of the gross profits which could bring their total pay to $41 million.


New York Magazine reports that “Summit will pay stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner each a whopping $25 million against 7.5 percent of the theatrical gross for starring in the next and last two Twilight movies, Breaking Dawn, parts one and two.”

The studio behind the movies Summit Entertainment re-negotiated the stars’ contracts earlier this year after deciding to split Stephenie Meyer’s final Twilight book Breaking Dawn into two movies.

The third film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – which has just been released — sees Robert as vampire Edward Cullen, Kristen as his human girlfriend Bella Swan and Taylor as werewolf Jacob Black reprise their roles.

Milla Jovovich swaps blood and gore for 17th century French elegance for new film role

We so used to seeing Milla Jovovich cocking a machine gun or two at some terrorising zombies.

So it made a nice change to see her dolled up looking very elegant and regal in her 17th century gown for her latest movie role.

The Resident Evil star, 34, posted photos of herself on Twitter this morning as she was fitted for her costumes for her part in The Three Musketeers.



The actress looked stunning in the 17th century costumes she was trying on ahead of filming next month.

And she was so excited about being dressed up and fussed over in her regal finery, that she had to share on the social networking site.

She first wrote: 'Good morning! Going 2 my 1st 3M (3musketeers) fitting! Will b fun trying on all those big 17th century gowns!'

AT&T stores getting Windows Phone 7 retail materials, launch coming sooner than expected?


Microsoft's mobile efforts may look like they're slightly in disarray after the expensive and embarrassing Kin debacle, but it looks like Windows Phone 7 may yet emerge unscathed from the chaos -- and potentially even earlier than expected, if this sheet of AT&T retail signage that's being sent out for a July 24th store overhaul is to be believed. Don't get too excited, however: we're told that cards like this have hit in July for September launches in the past -- which would line up with that hint of an October Telstra launch -- and that the "QTY: 6" label likely points to two devices, not a sextuplet. (We'd guess... Samsung and LG?) Either way, it would be a big win for Microsoft if it can manage to get Windows Phone 7 in store shelves before that promised "holiday 2010" due date -- we'll see what happens.

K-Pop stars to rock Incheon Korean Music Wave 2010


K-Pop singers will be gathered under the night sky of Incheon in a concert extravaganza for 50,000 fans.

After a successful first year, the Incheon Korean Music Wave 2010 returns for the second year running on August 29th at Incheon World Cup Stadium, hoping to entertain once again.

Confirmed artists include Super Junior, 2PM, SNSD, SG Wannabe, SHINee, U-Kiss, CNBLUE, MBLAQ, BEAST, Son Dambi and After School.

The organizers expressed, “We hope to make this a long-term annual event, with top stars coming to Incheon and encourage local and foreign fans to join us for the party. We want to make it be known as a representative K-pop music festival in Asia.”

'Eclipse' reaps $175 million over first six days; Why Couldn't Eclipse Beat New Moon?

Did fireworks scare off fang-girls? Did Team Jacob's screams scare off the unaligned crowds? Why couldn't Eclipse's box-office start quite match New Moon's?

Here are the final findings on the new Twilight movie's Fourth of July weekend:

• For starters, the $68 million Eclipse made lots and lots and lots of money: $82.5 million from Friday-Monday alone, per the latest estimates.

• Since opening Wednesday, Eclipse has sucked up $175.3 million domestically, the biggest six-day haul of the year, and the eighth-biggest in Hollywood history.

• Overall, Eclipse set three records of note: biggest midnight gross ever, biggest Wednesday ever; and, widest release ever.

And yet…

Despite its stellar stats, Eclipse is still running slightly behind New Moon, which, after six days, had taken in $178.9 million (for sixth on the all-time list).

The difference between the two Twilight Saga siblings is small—less than $4 million—and New Moon's slightly faster start was mainly aided by the calendar, with New Moon taking full advantage of its Friday opening day.

Eclipse, however, was not thrown to the wolves by Summit Entertainment. While its Wednesday opening pretty much prevented it from vying for opening weekend (or New Moon) records, its summer setting could lead to bigger mid-week grosses—and, eventually, bigger-than-New Moon grosses.

Katy Perry ‘Slams Miley Cyrus’

KATY Perry thinks Miley Cyrus will meet the same fate as troubled former child star Britney Spears.


The California Gurls hitmaker caught a glimpse of the 17-year-old singer backstage at the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto on June 20 and was reportedly shocked by what she saw.

“She looked to her friend and said, ‘Oh my God, poor girl’,” an onlooker told America’s Life & Style magazine.

“Katy said, ‘She’s Britney Spears all over again. It’s happening right before our eyes’.

“When her friend asked if she meant Lindsay Lohan, not Britney, Katy said, ‘No, she’s definitely headed the Britney route. It’s worse. Look at those outfits. It’s bad’.”

iPhone 4 Diamond Edition: white, unlocked, and $20k


Looking for something a bit more eye-catching than a iPhone 4 with a wooden veneer? Then it looks like you can once again thank Stuart Hughes for throwing any subtlety to the wind and going all out with the so-called iPhone 4 Diamond Edition. As you can see, not only does the phone pack a smattering of diamonds (including a bedazzled Apple logo), but it's a white iPhone 4 (32GB, naturally), and unlocked for good measure. Of course, there's no guarantees you'll actually get it before white iPhone 4s become commonplace, but we're pretty sure this is $20,000 well spent either way.

EEG flies solo for New Talent Singing Contest 2010, Joey Yung & Leo Ku "Hell Instructors"

The royalty issue between TVB and the Big 4 record companies still have not been resolved yet. This leads to better collaboration opportunities between EEG and TVB, but for this year's "New Talent Singing Contest 2010", EEG decided to fly solo, changed to collaborate with a telecommunication company. It was rumored that because TVB was heavily promoting newcomers from their self-produced music program "The Voice", which EEG felt is similar to their New Talent Singing Contest, they rather work with a new partner. However, to maintain the relationship with TVB, EEG still bought a time slot to broadcast the finals on TVB.

EEG's "New Talent Singing Contest" has always been a collaboration with TVB, but this year things changed. Yesterday at the press conference, EEG Artist Management Director Mani Fok expressed that they will collaborate with a telecommunications company. Participants are welcomed to create a 30 second self-introduction clip and a 2 minute song clip to be placed online for her, Ng Yue and other judges to look at. 50 Participants will be selected to participate in the second round. Then the "Most Popular Online King and Queen" will be selected from a shopping center performance. Finally, the strongest 10 contestants will participate in the finals on August 31st.

Mani said that they will purchase a time slot from TVB to broadcast the final round. When asked why they didn't collaborate with TVB this year, is it because TVB's "The Voice" is too similar to EEG's contest? Mani explained that its because they want to give people who can sing more opportunities to perform on a different stage.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green Get Back to Domestic Life

The honeymoon is over for Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green – literally.

A few days after quietly tying the knot, the newlyweds kicked off married life together with a grocery run over the holiday weekend.

The newlyweds, who returned from a romantic getaway in Hawaii, dropped by a local market Sunday in Glendale, Calif., where they stocked up on last minute supplies for the 4th of July.

Fox, 24, and Green, 36, kept a low profile in their first public outing as husband and wife – Green in sunglasses, while the former Transformers star had her cap pulled down over her eyes.

Jessica Simpson Has New Boyfriend

Looks like Jessica Simpson is back in the dating game – with another football player.

The singer, who dated Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo for two years, is dipping back into the NFL dating pool, seeing former San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Johnson.

"It's true," a source close to Simpson confirms to PEOPLE, adding that the pair have been dating since May.

Adds a friend of the singer: "She is happy that she found a great guy. She's really happy."

Simpson has been making other changes as well. On June 27, the pop star Tweeted: "[I] shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China and cupping since Friday!"

The singer, who turns 30 on Saturday, has said that she's working on her self-esteem and feels hopeful about finding love.

"I think [30] is going to be a good year for me," the Price of Beauty star said in May. "I can find love anywhere."

TMZ.com was first to report on Simpson's new romance.

Did someone say rebound? Lindsay Lohan and Danny Cipriani out on second date in just 48 hours

It may be one of the most unusual pairings in showbiz history.

But it appears Lindsay Lohan and Danny Cipriani are enjoying each other's company a great deal after they were spotted going on two dates in just 48 hours.

The couple were first spotted together as they left Los Angeles nightclub The Tea Room on Thursday night.


Then rugby player Cipriani, who recently split from British model Kelly Brook, was spotted entering Lindsay's apartment at around 4am just 24 hours after their first date.

And it seems both Lohan, 24, and Cipriani, 22, are making the most of each other's company.

A source told the Sunday People: 'He's really fallen for Lindsay. Maybe it's a bit of a rebound thing from Kelly but Danny can't get enough of his new girl.'

Cipriani arrived in Los Angeles last week for the second time in a month to train with American football players in a bid to improve his footwork.

Doesn't lose to Patty in love; Ruby Lin fires up relationship with Wang Xiao Shuai

Good friend Vicki Zhao got a status upgrade to a mother, but Ruby didn't feel neglected; she was seen shopping hand in hand with Director Wang Xiao Shuai, uncaring of onlooker's eyes. Last year, it was rumoured that Ruby broke up with Director Stanley Tong, followed by a resurfacing flurry concerning her past relationship with Patty Hou's fiance Ken Huang. This time around, Ruby's tightly clasped hand in Xiao Shuai's draws a clear line with all the other males.

According to a firsthand media report, Vicki invited Ruby and Xiao Shuai to a meal to catch up when she was in Shanghai earlier, attending the International Film Fest. Surprisingly, the spotlight wasn't on the new mom Vicki, but instead on the satiated, joyful couple strolling hand in hand out of the restaurant: Ruby and Xiao Shuai. Not only were their hands clasped tightly, their faces were glowing with happiness, and the media described Ruby as "so full of laughter, her mouth appeared to be ready to split open!"

That day, Vicki invited the couple to dine at a hotpot restaurant before heading to KTV. However, Vicki had to return home early to take care of her child, plus, she didn't want to be a lightbulb for that long. After saying goodbye to Vicki, Ruby and Xiao Shuai were hand in hand until they got in the car, and were oblivious to all that was going around them. Ruby even laughed out loudly, and a close friend reveals that their relationship was a known secret a while back.
