Could Welcome to the Rileys be the first film featuring one of Young Hollywood’s hottest stars as a stripper that isn’t about her wearing nothing onscreen to show that she’s edgy and adult? The trailer, watch it below, gives me hope. A subdued James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo star as parents grieving the death of their daughter in a car accident. He travels to New Orleans on business, stumbles across Stewart’s runaway character in a restaurant, and decides he’s going to get her life on track because she looks like the child he lost. Leo’s character overcomes her stress-induced agoraphobia and eventually follows him to the Big Easy, where she tries to save her marriage, and Stewart from a life on the pole.
I suspect we’ll get at least one scene of Gandolfini and/or Leo watching Stewart on stage, tears in their eyes. But that’s all I need to see. You?

Okay, we have no idea what's going on here, but Taiwanese site Apple.pro has just posted up some shots of appears to be a tiny Apple-labeled touchscreen panel -- it measures just 3cm (1.18 inches) square. Given the site's track record with previous Apple component leaks like the white iPhone 4 and the unibody MacBook Pro enclosure, we're somewhat inclined to believe this is real, but we have no idea what it's for -- a new iPod nano? The next-gen Apple TV's remote control? Steve Jobs's dream watch? -- but we're definitely interested in finding out. One more pic showing the Apple label on the ribbon cable after the break.

Having released a MV intially which was later pulled by YG Entertainment, fans have been waiting for the MV to be re-released, only to be told that a new version would be out instead. And after a while, it’s finally here!
The new version sees Sandara Park becoming his female lead dancer, instead of acting as Taeyang’s girlfriend and of course there’s more dancing involved in this. It’s like the stage performance in MV format and there’s G-Dragon too!

Although Twins have not disbanded, each member is busy with their own work, as Ah Sa brings her debut Mandarin full album "As A Sa" to Shanghai Jiuguang for an autograph session. With fans at the venue waiting for Ah Sa early in the morning, Ah Sa was nearly moved to tears while performing "Confidant". She expressed that she will continue to work hard to make good music for everyone. During a slightly earlier interview, Charlene Choi spoke of her growth in music and film and expressed that she hopes to do her best in every job she undertakes. As well, she quite envies Ah Gil's film performances, "Because in movies, she has broken through the image others have previously seen of her. As a first time, it's not bad of a challenge. I hope that I can also challenge myself, break through other aspects. As long as it isn't too exposing, then it's ok."
When solo, must work even harder
When the media discussed and reflected on previous experiences, will Ah Sa's work and feelings be influenced, Ah Sa expressed: "Thank you for everyone's support, care and concern all along. I know that many things, you can't just say to forget about it and it'll be forgotten. I hope that everyone will not continuously comfort me in the future, I am aware of what I need to do. All I want to say right now is that personally, I have never regretted anything that has happened in the past and I have faith that I can continue to improve myself as a person."

It's hard to feel bad for Lindsay Lohan. It's hard for me to feel bad for Lindsay Lohan, at least. In my book, Lindsay has been given opportunity after opportunity to clean up her act and single handedly squandered each one. That's why when the starlet burst into surprised tears at Judge Marsha Revel's 90-day sentence on Tuesday, I couldn't muster one lick of sympathy.
Instead I had the opposite reaction. I laughed. Why was I guffawing at this girls' misfortune you may ask? There are five simple reasons.

Ke$ha is at the center of a nude photo scandal after ticking off a disgruntled spinner.
The “Tik Tok” hitmaker raised the ire of one “DJ Stolen” — an old pal from her prefame days as a Cali party girl — after she refused to “give him a shoutout” when the pair ran into one another on the streets of Los Angeles earlier this summer. As a result, Stolen took revenge on the pop tart by leaking a naked picture of the grungy singer to the Interwebs.
(It’s more than wildly rumored that DJ Stolen is actually pop superproducer Rodney Jerkins, aka Darkchild — but you didn’t hear that from us.)
The snap — which features the “Your Love Is My Drug” singer laying naked on a bed and clutching her jizz-covered breasts, hit the web tagged with the name “DJ Stolen” on Wednesday. Ke$ha now joins the ranks of Rihanna, High School Musical’s Vanessa Hudgens, R&B singer Cassie, and Hayley Williams of Paramore — all who have had topless or nude photos leaked.

One of our very close AT&T sources just sent us in these images. Yes, it’s a fried iPhone 4. Apparently a customer brought the phone into the store to try and get help with it, although it’s pretty evident that the phone is unrepairable. It’s the first time our guy has seen this happen (us too), but the brand new iPhone 4 caught on fire while being hooked up to a computer using the Apple USB cable that accompanied the device. The customer wanted to exchange the iPhone — obviously — for a new, non-charred unit however the AT&T store in question was out of stock. An Apple Store did confirm to our AT&T connection that this did appear to be a defective USB port and not some sort of user error. Our source went onto say that the phone bezel was extremely hot (obviously), and it slightly burned the customers hand. The USB port in the phone was slightly melted and the cord was badly melted (as is apparent in the pictures). Hopefully this is the only time we see our beloved iPhones meet a fiery death. We’ve got one more picture for you after the break.
In a smartphone market saturated with 3.5-inch and larger displays, Sony Ericsson reckons there's still a little place for petite packages. Enter the Xperia X10 Mini (E10i) and Mini Pro (U20i) -- both direct descendants of the beastly X10 Android 1.6 handset. Apart from the Pro's slide-out keyboard, removable battery, and positioning of various features, the two Minis are otherwise internally identical -- same processor, same camera, and same screen. So can these cute baby form factors offer more than just some palm-cuddling time? Can we get a decent smartphone performance out of them? Follow us after the break to find out.

After the ‘video incident,’ decided to treat Seungri as an adult
Although Taeyang is in the middle of his solo activities, there can’t not also be talk about Big Bang. All the members had taken part in solo activities, but their colors are all different.
“The reason we do music is because it makes us happy and we like it. When we put out solo albums we match it to our individual styles, and when we put out an album as Big Bang we do music that we can do together. We don’t fight when we talk about music.”
Recently, a video of Big Bang member G-Dragon elbowing youngest Seungri went viral and became quite a scandal.
“After watching the video, I thought it could be interpreted badly. We weren’t being smart. We should be doing that out in public.. We should have behaved more professionally. We’re all really close, and I think our acting naturally around each other was misunderstood. I realized that a lot of people are watching us. Also I decided to respect Seungri from now on. I realized that I have to treat Seungri like an adult (laughs).”

International trade company Alibaba has posted two purported components for the next generation iPod Touch. These products include an LCD assembly unit with digitizer and a stand-alone digitizer (both of which include a hole in the top center of the assembly that could be used for a front-facing camera). These components potentially support the notion of a front-facing camera put forth earlier by UK retailer John Lewis, however, as MacRumors points out, the implied back-to-back positioning of a front and rear-facing camera on a device as slim as the iPod Touch is difficult, if not impossible. If Apple was going to include a center front-facing camera as shown above, the rear camera must be positioned to the side or removed completely. In light of this camera positioning information, what do you think? Real or just some fake knock-offs?

Man, Adobe is really teasing up Flash and 3D. Straight from the mouth (or, rather, keyboard) of product manager Thibault Imbert: "What kind of [3D] API? True textured z-buffered triangles ? GPU acceleration? Even better? What I can say is forget what you have seen before, it is going to be big." Big talk in regards to a session at the company's upcoming MAX 2010 conference entitled (aptly enough) "Flash Player 3D Future." According to the description and some added details care of Imbert, expect discussion and demos of a renderer coming in a future version of Flash Player. We'd love to give you something more concrete, but looks like that might be awhile -- the talk isn't until October 27th.
International actress Gong Li evaded questions about her bust size when she appeared at the launch of Chinese lingerie brand Aimer's flagship store on Thursday, but she was painfully honest when asked how she cares for her bust and figure.

A relatively unknown US-based company called NTP Incorporated announced that it has filed lawsuits against six huge names in the wireless industry: Google, Microsoft, Apple, HTC, LG and Motorola.
One person who won’t be having a despicable weekend? Producer Chris Meledandri (Ice Age, Horton Hears a Who!), whose latest film, Despicable Me — released under his new company Illumination Entertainment — will almost certainly end up on top of the box-office this weekend. The film, Universal Pictures’ first foray into 3-D/CGI animation, has luckily generated solid reviews, a must considering the crowd of family films it’s jumping into. (Not only will it have a hot Toy Story 3 to contend with, but other hit family films as well, such as The Karate Kid and The Last Airbender) In contrast, Predators will be supplying starving action-horror fans just the meal they’ve been waiting for. Reviews have been mixed, but that shouldn’t stop audiences from coming out to support Adrien Brody’s dip into the genre. Read on for my predictions.
Lady Gaga seems to be giving love a second chance.
You remember when Google announced it was hacked by alleged Chinese hackers and some IP was stolen and emails accounts accessed? That blew up into a bigger conflict with China and Google over censorship with Google threatening to leave China and to stop censoring its search results.

We weren't exactly sure whether Apple was going to approve third-party video calling apps using the front camera on the iPhone 4, but good news: the answer is "yes." Fring just slid in a new version of its longstanding iPhone app today featuring support for video calling, which is pretty awesome in and of itself -- but the real news is that it works just fine over 3G, as you can see in our quick test above between Chicago and London. This opens the door for services that could have potentially broader implications than FaceTime itself, since Apple's service is limited to WiFi and currently only works between iPhone 4s. Just make sure you're wearing clothes when you call, alright?
Casting rumors on X-Men: First Class have been out of control. So let’s sort out what’s true and what’s not. For the record, Fox — the studio behind the movie — isn’t confirming any of the chatter. Our sources, however, tell us that About a Boy’s Nicholas Hoult (pictured, left), who recently appeared in Clash of the Titans and A Single Man, will play Beast in the film, which also stars James McAvoy as Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Magneto. Caleb Landry Jones — who will appear in The Last Exorcism in August, and The Social Network in October — will take on the role of Banshee. The third name you can add to the list is Lucas Till (pictured, right), the actor who played Miley Cyrus’ beau in Hannah Montana: The Movie. He is in negotiations to play the role of Havok. Still, my sources tell me to keep in mind that these parts may not be the actual characters in the movie. Instead, this could be part of a misdirection campaign to keep some surprises from X-Men fans.
