Michael Lohan, Dina Lohan React To Lindsay's 90-Day Sentence

Michael Lohan is distraught that his daughter, Lindsay Lohan, was sentenced to jail, but he has some hope following Tuesday's dramatic hearing in Los Angeles.

"Dismay," Michael told Larry King on CNN's "Larry King Live," after the talk show host asked his reaction to Judge Marsha Revel's sentence for his daughter - 90 days in jail. "But at the same time, little satisfaction that she's going to a rehab. But the last thing in the world I wanted was for my daughter to go to jail."

According to Michael's attorney, Lisa Bloom, who appeared on "LKL" alongside the father and Dr. Drew Pinksy, the two wrote a letter to court, telling the judge that they did not want to see Lindsay go to jail, but instead rehab. Michael went on to say that jail is the wrong place for his daughter, who turned 24 last week.

"Any kind of jail is harsh, especially for a young lady like Lindsay that doesn't need jail," he said. "I've been there myself and I know jail didn't do anything for me with my addictions."

Michael continued to insist that his daughter needs help for what he has claimed for months, is an problem with prescription pills. Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, previously told Access Hollywood that the actress considers Michael's claims defamatory.

Sobbing Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to 90 Days in Jail


If it was a performance, it deserved at least a nomination. Instead, it earned her one of the worst pans of her life.

Staring down a terrifying stint in a cramped Los Angeles County jail cell, Lindsay Lohan broke into tears Tuesday as she pleaded with a Beverly Hills judge for understanding.

"I did everything I was told to do, I thought I was being compliant," Lohan, 24, cried as she tried to explain that she didn't knowingly violate her probation in a DUI case by missing weekly alcohol-education classes. "I'm not taking this as a joke, it's my life and career. I don't want you to think I don't respect you and your terms."

In the audience section, her father Michael Lohan – himself no stranger to courtrooms due to his own battles with the bottle – also wept, as did Lindsay's 16-year-old sister Ali.

Caught! Robsten Do Dinner and a Movie

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are two of the most famous rising stars of Young H'wood, of course, (not to mention one of the most talked about couples in tabloids), but when the duo hit the town for a date night—we're sure you don't mind if we call it that, do you?—they keep it très simple: dinner and a movie...

First of all, you've heard about how castmembers from the vamp franchise have been popping into theaters across the country to thank fans for supporting Eclipse, right? Well, lucky fans at the AMC theater in L.A.'s Century City were surprised when none other than Robsten turned up to show their appreciation.

Dressed supercasual in a cute black top with her lighter 'do, Kristen took the mic to "thank [the fans] for making it such a great weekend," before giving BF R.Pattz the floor. Rob, looking deelish as usual, was decked out in a white tee and a leather jacket and really got the fans screaming when he so charmingly told them:

"I hope you like the movie, because otherwise, this would be really embarrassing. Yeah, thanks for making [it]...such a special opening weekend for us."

And while Eclipse didn't quite top New Moon's opening at the box office, fans totally agree with what we've been saying all along: It's the best film of the series yet!

AppleCare: The iPhone 4 Update Won't Solve the Antenna Problem

AppleCare has confirmed what we already knew: The incoming software update won't fix the iPhone 4's transmission and reception problems. They acknowledged the antenna problem exists, offering the same solution as before: Buy a case or hold the iPhone differently.


I was secretly hoping that the software update would magically fix the iPhone 4's antenna design problem, because I really wanted to buy what otherwise is an great gadget. Unfortunately, the cosmetic change to the bar display—which promises to show the actual signal strength—will not fix the transmission/reception problem that countless iPhone 4 users are experiencing.
AppleCare's response

We called AppleCare three times today to confirm it. We told them that we were experiencing voice quality problems and call drops, as well as problems with internet access. Their response was immediate and unequivocal, the same in the three cases:

Taeyang solo album slump, ‘Is Big Bang losing their touch?

‘Is Big Bang losing their touch?’


A member of the group Big Bang, Taeyang’s recently released song ‘I Need a Girl’ is not doing so well. While they had swept first place on music charts with ‘Lies’ and ‘Last Farewell’ in 2007, ‘Haru Haru’ and ‘Sunset Glow’ in 2008, now it’s almost as if Big Bang’s grandness can no longer be felt.

The song that was released on the 1st is only in 6th place on Bugs by the 6th of July. Melon and Dosirak. 5th place on Soribada. And it’s in 8th place on Cyworld. It made it to 2nd place on mnet.com and is barely holding on. All the while, IU (Nagging) is reigning in the popularity and Jo Kwon (The Day of Confessing My Love) is doing likewise having released his comeback song post-World Cup. Narsha (I’m In Love). Son Dambi (Can’t U See) and others are providing competition, and [Taeyang] is fighting hard. He’s losing not only to veteran singers but also to miss A (Bad Girl Good Girl) who just made their debut.

JJ Lin kicks off world tour in August with new body

Coming off a critically acclaimed performance at the GMA’s, JJ Lin will embark on a world tour starting on August 21st in Beijing. Before he wows fans with his musical talent, the singer has already impressed the public by showing off his new and improved body in a promotional photo. Staff members were shocked when he took his shirt off at the photo shoot, but someone did comment that his chest looked bigger than his head. Apparently, JJ-the-bodybuilder has been hitting the gym 4 times a week to achieve this "King Kong-Barbie" look.

Appledaily’s popular but poison-tongued columnist pointed out that JJ Lin's nipple is mysteriously missing from the photo. His record company explained that it was in fact visible since he was only wearing an amour, but the nipple in question was digitally removed because it didn’t look “good”. They promised that fans will get to see JJ Lin in full nipple glory at the concert tour.

For those who can’t bear the wait to see him live, JJ Lin's Hundred Days Live DVD has been released on July 2nd (July 9th on Yesasia). It contains footage from the JJ Party Concert, as well as a book of piano sheet music for 18 songs composed by the singer-songwriter.

Jennifer Aniston's Possible Date Won't Dish

Jennifer Aniston's possible new dude isn't dishing on their status.

After she was spotted having dinner Thursday night at her favorite hang, Sunset Tower Hotel, with actor Christopher Gartin, his lips were sealed when reached by E!.


"No comment," he said when asked about their status. Either way, Jen didn't seem too happy to see the photogs...

She ducked and covered when paps caught him driving her home after their dinner together, but we're not sure why.

Although you can't see his face very clearly in this shot, you can check him out on IMDB. We think he's pretty cute!

Chris is 42, hails from NYC and was previously married to an event planner. Word is that Jen's BFF Courteney Cox set them up. Do you think they'd make a good match?

White Sprint HTC EVO 4G shows up at Best Buy early. Latest Sprint EVO OTA update rooted

Remember those white Sprint HTC EVO 4Gs, that were exclusively promised to Best Buy for July 11th. Have you been waiting for one?


If so, we have some good news for you. Engadget reports, that white HTC EVO 4Gs started arriving to Best Buy whole five days early.

After all those delays HTC has been facing in delivering it’s latest handsets, that’s one welcome surprise.

Could it be that HTC is finally resolving those Samsung caused supply issues?

Nah. I don’t think so. Most likely it’s because of the biggish 4.3” display size. The demand for the big 4.3” AMOLEDs must be much lower, then for the most popular 3.5 and 3.7” display panels, so it’s easier to fulfill. Continuos rolling 4 week delays for Verizon HTC Droid Incredible – is confirmation of that.

Droid X already knocking on buyers' doors?


This seems to happen with virtually every hotly-anticipated device Verizon ever offers, so we can't say we're too surprised to hear rumors that Motorola's Droid X has already started showing up in customers' hands. Usually, this happens through a combination of persistence, repeated calls to customers service, and finding just the right rep who doesn't realize that he or she shouldn't be selling a particular device yet -- but in the case of the Droid X, Verizon's been teasing the launch with its @DroidLanding Twitter account, saying "you might get yours before" the official July 15 release. In other words, we think we're in the process of getting punked by some viral marketing... but hey, if you're getting punked by something, it might as well be one of the baddest-ass Android phones around.

Sandra Bullock's Holiday Weekend With Baby Louis

Almost a week after her divorce from ex Jesse James was publicly finalized, Sandra Bullock was spotted over the holiday weekend with the new man in her life: son Louis.

The Oscar-winner celebrated the 4th of July in Austin, Texas, where she was snapped while furniture shopping at Wildflower Organics on Saturday.

Bullock spent her first Independence Day as a mom looking calm and casual in denim shorts, a white T-shirt and sunglasses as she strolled the streets with the 6-month-old love of her life.

In other Independence Day celebrity sightings, Kourtney Kardashian and boyfriend Scott Disick celebrated the holiday Sunday night by joining a group of friends for dinner at Georgica Restaurant & Lounge in Wainscott, New York. The new parents held hands during their meal of White Truffle Lobster mac 'n cheese and specialty Absolut vodka cocktails.

Eclipse hottie Nikki Reed celebrated the 4th with her family in Southampton at the AXE Lounge, where the actress tested out her DJ skills at the turntables for a few songs.

Also spotted at the AXE Lounge on Sunday was Kim Kardashian's ex Reggie Bush dancing and chatting with model Amber Rose. The odd couple spent most of the night together and got close when whispering in each other's ears over the loud music.

'Inception' is eliciting high expectations -- can they go too high?

Oh, summer 2010, you sly pup. You’ve teased us for two long months now with a nonstop cinematic parade of threequels and reboots and remakes and Adam Sandler. Not that we’re complaining: some of those movies were pretty good. But now you’re revealing your prized possession: Inception, Christopher Nolan’s long-awaited, utterly mysterious follow-up to The Dark Knight. We’ve watched the trailers. We’ve pondered over the posters. We’ve noticed that Tom Berenger is in the movie. We are intrigued. Now the reviews are hitting the internet, and guess what? We are even more intrigued.

Todd Gilchrist over at Cinematical speaks for most reviewers when he notes that Inception is “a film that benefits from knowing as little as possible about it before seeing it,” and without spoiling anything, calls Inception “a stunning achievement and the most completely entertaining film I’ve seen in years.” Over at IGN, Jim Vejvoda gets heavy with allusions sure to send film studies majors into the upper reaches of the geekosphere, saying Inception reminds him of Jean Cocteau, Stanley Kubrick, Michael Mann, The Matrix, and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Carrie Prejean's Noncontroversial Wedding Photo

Even her critics gotta admit that Carrie Prejean looks pretty darn good in this photo taken of the newlywed after she got hitched to NFL star Kyle Boller on Friday.

Or not.

Either way, here's a first look at the former beauty queen turned controversial figure wearing an elegant one-shoulder mermaid-style gown in a picture that's anything but, well, controversial.

Unless, of course, a certain blogger decides to paint a penis on it.

Wonder Girls on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums Chart


Wonder Girls have been busy with their Wonder Girls World Tour. Now with all but 6 shows remaining, their 2 Different Tears (EP) has made it onto Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums Chart at #21!

Wonder Girls made big news in October when they entered the Billboard charts for the first time with their Nobody single at 76th on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles. Interestingly, the Heatseekers Albums Chart ranks the top selling albums of new or developing artists each week excluding those who have made it into the top 100 of the Billboard 200, but just like last time, Wonder Girls have somehow made it onto the Heatseekers Albums Chart.

HTC hopes to be done with Android 2.2 Froyo updates before Christmas

We all know that HTC will update its 2010 smartphones to Android 2.2 Froyo, but “when exactly?” is a question that still has no answer.

We’ve heard that the HTC Desire could get Froyo in August, but other smartphones (like the Legend, Wildfire, Incredible and Evo 4G) might not be that lucky.

Eric Lin, global PR and online community manager at HTC, told Pocket-lint that he believes the company “would be done with Froyo updates before Christmas.”

That’s not really good news, and I’m already thinking that owners of the Legend or the Wildfire (which are not high-end devices) might have to wait for Froyo the longest (i.e. until the last month of the year).

Lin explains why updates take so long, and its explanation is reasonable:

“It takes time to port all of our applications over to Froyo and then make sure that it is running well on each of our devices. That’s not like a one week kind of project. We need to make sure that our applications are taking advantage of the Froyo features. To make sure that they’re all running properly on the OS now that it’s a new version. And then to make sure that it’s running on our hardware as well as we expect”.

Do Android developers outnumber iPhone developers?


Do Android developers outnumber iPhone developers? If you believe this survey of 401 mobile developers than yes, yes they do. Vision Mobile, a “market analysis and strategy firm delivering market know-how to the mobile industry,” have a poll that indicates that more mobile application developers have experience with Google’s Android platform than with any other mobile platform, including Apple’s iOS. Developers polled cited: large market penetration, speed of development, potential to make money, and low cost dev tools as reasons for initially choosing Android. Developers indicated that they have the most experience in Android, followed by iOS, Java ME, Symbian, then “mobile web.” We should note, the poll asked developers which mobile platform(s) they had experience coding in, so it was possible to answer with multiple platforms.

Girl’s Day releases debut MV “Tilt my head (갸우뚱)”


Just yesterday, rookie group Girl’s Day revealed their teaser which consisted of a robot-like concept, with the girls working in a production line acting all robotic.

Although it didn’t tease much of the music video and actual song, the ladies released their official debut music video today.

Girl’s Day definitely brought a new style to the table with a unique and catchy song. Things are bound to improve for the girls in the near future.

Check out their debut MV “Tilt my head (갸우뚱)”

Isabella Kou’s husband arrested on allegations of rape

Former lawyer and socialite Patrick Leung – the husband of former Miss Hong Kong Isabella Kou – was arrested last week on allegations of sexual harassment and rape. A young female model called the police on June 27th claiming that she was raped in the Fevar Bar owned by Patrick Leung, which is located in Central. On June 28th, Patrick Leung was arrested at his estate and brought back to the police station for questioning. He was subsequently released on bail but is required to return to the police station for further investigation.

Yesterday, Patrick Leung returned to Hong Kong from a business trip in Chengdu. Upon arriving at the airport, Patrick was immediately surrounded by reporters and hounded with questions about his alleged involvement in the case: How well did you know the alleged victim? Are the accusations true? Were you asked to report back to the police station this week? Without responding to any of the reporters’ questions, Patrick only answered “Nothing to say”. Later on, he also said that right now is not the appropriate time to answer any questions, since it would be hard to say anything with so many reporters surrounding him. As he was walking to the parking lot, he also pushed aside several microphones and looked a bit agitated. Right before getting into his car, a reporter asked him why his wife Isabella did not come pick him up from the airport. Patrick did not respond, but instead muttered something about the weather under his breath. After leaving the airport, he returned to his estate in Hong Kong’s Midlevels area.

Microsoft Set to Launch Destination Arcade on July 14th

One of the little nuggets of joy that was missing from this year’s E3, was the announcement from Microsoft about their bi-annual Xbox 360 software update. Sure, they managed to announce a new Xbox 360, but nothing about the software front. Well, if you managed to get your hands on one of the new consoles from Redmond, then you should be happy in knowing that an update is right around the corner.


While we all wait for Hulu Plus to make its way to the 360, we’ll have to just be happy with whatever Microsoft is cooking up natively. That’s where Destination Arcade comes in. Right now, navigating through the Arcade section of LIVE can be somewhat tedious, with all those lists and what not. But not anymore. The new design is full of aesthetically-pleasing things. Not only does it just look slicker, the interface itself seems just that more advanced. And, if you ask us, aimed for navigating with Kinect.

AT&T throttling upload speeds?


Rumors are starting to fly around the the interwebs about the alleged throttling of upload speeds by everyones favorite wireless carrier AT&T (note: sarcasm). Users are reporting — on Apple’s discussion boards amongst other places — upload speeds topping out at around 100 Kbps in areas that consistently had much higher upload speds. If you’re wondering if your upload speeds are what they should be, go ahead and grab Speedtest.net (available for Android, Apple, BlackBerry, Palm) and let us know what your clocking in at. Currently, I’m seeing 1.8 Mbps down and 1.2 Mbps up in Boston, MA, however…BG is seeing around 300 Kbps down and around 50 Kbps up in New York, NY (ew). How about you?
