Look away now, Russell! Katy Perry kisses topless hunk on beach as she films new single Teenage Dream

Russell Brand may well feel a tinge of jealousy when he sees these steamy pictures of his soon-to-be wife Katy Perry.

The California Gurl is pictured in scenes from her new video, Teenage Dream, kissing hunky U.S. actor Josh Kloss.

And that's not all they get up to. In another still Katy is seen straddling former O.C. star Kloss as he picks her up and dances with her.



The 25-year-old singer returned to her home town of Santa Barbara, California, and employed a number of her friends in the video.

Meanwhile her fiancé Russell is currently in New York filming with Jennifer Garner shooting their new movie Arthur.

'It's not a Hitler salute! I was dancing and scratching my face': Paris Hilton denies pulling Nazi pose

Paris Hilton has strenuously denied she was enacting a Nazi salute as she partied on a luxury yacht.

A spokesman for the American heiress insisted to MailOnline that she was merely dancing and scratching her face at the same time.

The 29-year-old reality star has been partying in style in St Tropez over the past few weeks, enjoying a series of champagne-fuelled nights aboard boats in VIP clubs.



In the early hours of yesterday morning she was pictured wearing a military-style hat and appeared to be pointing her hand upwards in a Heil Hitler-like salute aboard a yacht.

But her spokesman told us: 'Paris was dancing and having fun with her arm up in the air as she always dances like that and was scratching [her] face when a photo was taken.'

What a stylish brood! Angelina Jolie and her 'rainbow family' arrive in Japan ahead of Salt premiere

With parents like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it's no wonder that their children turned out to be the stylish tots that they are.

Looking trendy in a variety of smart outfits, Maddox, six-year-old Pax, Shiloh, four, and Zahara, five, clung to their mother's hand as they walked through Japan's New Tokyo International Airport in Narita this morning.


And despite having to control four children on her own, Angelina looked the picture of calm as she strolled through the airport in a fashionable black silk dress and tan flip flops.

The only time the 35-year-old actress gave any hint of the stress she may have been feeling was when she told eight-year-old Maddox off for apparently hitting his younger brother.

However, there were some absences from the group as they walked through the airport - namely Angelina's partner Brad Pitt and their two-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

AP: New government law makes it legal to unlock your phone, load 3rd party apps on iPhone

Okay, this is just in… The AP is reporting that a new federal ruling from the Library of Congress has sided with consumers, and the before sort-of-grey-area is now pretty clear — legally, you can unlock (and in Apple’s case, jailbreak) your device. Here’s what the AP article says:

WASHINGTON – Owners of the iPhone will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple. The government is making that legal under new rules announced Monday.

The decision to allow the practice commonly known as “jailbreaking” is one of a handful of new exemptions from a federal law that prohibits the circumvention of technical measures that control access to copyrighted works. Every three years, the Library of Congress authorizes such exemptions to ensure that existing law does not prevent non-infringing use of copyrighted material.

Another exemption will allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.

This is a pretty big thing in the tech world and has ramifications across many different platforms and devices, not just Apple’s iPhone. More as we get it!

Motorola 10-inch Android 3.0 tablet tipped for November

Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar isn’t just talking about BlackBerry tablets these days, he’s also heard whisperings of Motorola getting into the sizeable slate business. According to The Street, Kumar is warning investors to expect a Motorola rival to the iPad in November 2010, with a 10-inch touchscreen display and running Google’s Android 3.0 Gingerbread OS.

Back in May, Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha confirmed that the company was “thinking about the right solution” for tablets as “companion devices”. Unsurprisingly, though, he didn’t confirm any incoming products. Specifications for this newly rumored device are unknown; Motorola has been using the 1GHz OMAP3630 CPU in their DROID X and upcoming DROID 2 handsets, so it seems likely they might stick with something similar for a larger slate.

Red hot Angelina Jolie greets a young fan with a kiss as she arrives for the Russian premiere of new spy movie Salt

Having spent the last week jetting around to promote her new movie, Angelina Jolie is no doubt missing her brood of children back home.

So it was no wonder she took a motherly shine to a young fan who greeted her at the Russian premiere of her new film last night.


Angelina, 35, was signing autographs and chatting to fans outside the Moscow screening of spy thriller Salt when she spotted the young girl leaning towards her.

Her maternal instinct kicked in as she stood next to the girl, who looked a little overwhelmed by the crush of people pushing photos and cameras in her idols face as they waited in the 35degree heat.

But her nerves turned to delight as Angelina touched her cheek to reassure her and then leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Angelina Jolie's Salt Shakes, but Can't Stir Inception

For a movie sold solely on its movie star, Angelina Jolie's Salt did better than most.

But Inception was still greater. The Christopher Nolan-Leonardo DiCaprio dreamscape stayed atop the weekend box office with an estimated $43.5 million.

Salt settled for second, with a gross that was good—but was it good enough?

Salt earned $36.5 million, on the higher end of expectations. The action flick's debut was bigger than recent star movies from Tom Cruise (Knight and Day) and Matt Damon (The Green Zone), and about even with Russell Crowe's Robin Hood.

But with a budget reputedly north of $100 million, Salt still has a lot of catching up to do. And box-office watchers still have a lot of waiting to do. There are no reported overseas grosses yet. The film only opened in a few countries (and did well).

The jury, meanwhile, is not out on Inception.

After two weekends, it's made $143 million domestically—a Dark Knight-like number for a film that's not based on a comic book (or a video game, or a Utah mom's vampire dream, or…), and not charging 3D prices.

Former Teen Star Tiffany Defends Miley Cyrus' "Sexy" Image

In her 80s heyday as a teen pop sensation, singer Tiffany favored acid-washed jeans, sneakers, long-sleeved shirts and not too much makeup.

But that doesn't mean that she disapproves of today's much less modest generation of singing teen stars -- especially Miley Cyrus, 17, who has worn cleavage-bearing dresses and skin-tight bodysuits, danced on stripper poles and simulated lesbian kisses on stage.

"Miley Cyrus is on a great track," Tiffany, now 38, told UsMagazine.com at Saturday's EW Comic-Con party at Hotel Solamar in San Diego.

"I know that there are a lot of people that say well when you are so young you shouldn't be sexy," the "I Think We're Alone Now" singer conceded.

"I think that in today's world you kind of have to be [sexy]-- to be competitive in the market," Tiffany told Us. "I think that she is doing it appropriately. And it's always a fine line there."

Mystery HTC Windows Phone 7 device: in the wild and lacking any Sense


A candybar slate from HTC with a 3.7-inch SLCD and 1GHz Snapdragon processor -- sounds about right for the Desire, but this little puppy is actually running Windows Phone 7 (presumably a developer build, given the apps catalog). According to our tipster, the three buttons under the screen are touch-sensitive à la Nexus One, the camera boasts 8 megapixels of memory retention, and the "hardware is ready." What you're not seeing, however, is any sign of skinning -- no Sense on this one, we're afraid. The company is apparently in talks with two US carriers, including Verizon (we'd presume Sprint given the CDMA connection, but we've no insight here). Are we looking at the rumored VZW-bound HTC Spark from June? Unfortunately we can't confirm anything at this point, so for now, just enjoy the tantalizing snapshots.

iPhone 4 antenna drops signal 90% on contact versus 25% of rivals claim German testers

Once you start talking about scientific testing, you can’t really be too surprised when other scientists step in and try to replicate your results. Apple has been steadily working through their smartphone rivals, showing how grip-issues plague all antennas rather than solely that of the iPhone 4 (most recently the Motorola DROID X and Nokia N97 mini, and now independent German consumer organization Stiftung Warentest has stepped in to take a look themselves. Roughly the German equivalent of Consumer Reports, Stiftung Warentest claim that in their testing the iPhone 4 signal dropped by up to 90-percent when touched in the lower left-hand corner, whereas rivals saw significantly less of a change when their antenna was touched.


The organization doesn’t specify which two rival handsets were tested but reckons that, while a decrease in signal was observed when their antenna was held, at most they could record a 25-percent loss. As with Consumer Reports, the company suggests a length of tape placed over the iPhone 4′s antenna bridge as a temporary solution until a free iPhone 4 case arrives.

Mark Wahlberg Dishes Entourage Movie, Robert Pattinson Cameo!

Swoon!

Mark Wahlberg is not only one of the hottest DILFs in Hollywood (he took his kids to Legoland a couple days ago, very cool) but he's also one of the hottest producers in town. And you know that wherever Mark goes, some great scoop about Entourage goes.

As executive producer for one of our fave shows ever, Wahlberg gave us the fabulous deets on the show, the possible movie, and cameos by a certain Awful Truth favorite named Robert Pattinson:

We ran into Mark at Comic-Con after his press conference for The Other Guys, and naturally we asked him all about the show's eighth and final season, as well as the rumored film adaptation.

"We're still figuring out a couple of story lines for next season," said Marky Mark, looking very studly and built (obviously, we checked) in jeans and a blue tee.

"We have to figure out where a couple of them will leave off and where the movie will begin."

So is the movie definitely a go, then?

Smallville Stars Promise Comic-Con (and Thousands of Fans!) a Fabulous Final Season

If you're feeling a teensy bit emotional about the impending end of Smallville—well, join the club.

Sorry, wish we could offer you some solace, but after the nine-season retrospective (new footage from year 10 included!) at Sunday morning's Comic-Con panel, we're still sitting here like blubbering idiots trying to pen this oh-so-informative scoop-fest for you. Wait, there actually is some solace in that, huh?

Here is what you fans need to know...

Since you asked (and asked and asked via hundreds of Twitter @replies), we did our best to get the dirt on your favorite Smallville lovebirds, Chloe (Alison Mack) and Oliver (Justin Hartley). And luckily, we did!

According to show runner Kelly Souders, Alison fans need not fret—that kickass chicky will be back in a big way.

"We have a really strong story for her this season," Kelly tells us. "You will see Chloe this season again [beyond the premiere]. Plus, she has a relationship with Oliver and she's got to tie that up. That's just flowing in the wind! Chlollie fans will be happy—they will get their time onscreen."

Go ahead—we'll give you guys a minute to regroup after that joyous news.

"That relationship has been a lot of fun for us to write," Kelly continues, "and I know it's been really fun for Justin and Alison. They've had a good time evolving, and [that relationship] is not going to stall out. They're so interesting together, we love them onscreen. So we're Chlollie fans, too!"

HP's gaming guy says Microsoft killed cross-platform play due to keyboard-mouse superiority


Once upon a time in 2007, there was a little-known game called Shadowrun, that let gamers on both Xbox 360 and PC destroy one another for sport. Such is the environment that Microsoft facilitated, but alas, it wasn't for long, as the moment Shadowrun flopped the cross-platform feature was dropped, though it resurfaced once or twice in third-party titles as the years shot by. Outspoken HP CTO Rahul Sood, however, spins a slightly more complex yarn -- he says Microsoft killed the project when it found that "mediocre" PC gamers could wipe the floors with the very best players on Xbox. Now, we're not confirming his story, and there are plenty of other possible explanations if you follow the money, of course, but we can't help but feel a hint of admiration for the longevity of gaming mouse and keyboard. Here's hoping we can all leave our predilections at the door as developers pit Android vs. iPhone.

Jolin wears hot-pants for "Honey Trap" MV


The highly anticipated music video of Jolin Tsai’s latest single, “Honey Trap” will finally be released this coming Tuesday. Jolin specially invited a Korean MV director to film this MV. Usually, Kpop artists allot two full days to film a music video, but due to Jolin’s tight schedule, she could only spare a day. After 25 hours, Jolin danced for over a hundred times, where her body finally gave up and she had to take three hours of rest before continuing. She completed filming the MV as scheduled and even the Director commented, “Do Taiwanese artists all work this hard?”

In the MV, Jolin plays a trendy robot, purchased and brought home by the male lead of the video. The male lead thought he could control her, but Jolin turned out to have her own feelings and so she started doing the Voguing dance. Upon seeing the finished product, Jolin smiled, “After dancing for over a hundred times, at least it didn’t go to waste. This dance is very unique and interesting. It can also be a form of shoulder muscle therapy if you can master it.”

Leehom fans soaked in rain at signing event

Yesterday, Leehom Wang held a pre-order signing event for his upcoming album, “18 Martial Arts”, at Ximending. Heavy rain began to fall unexpectedly and two thousand fans at the event became impatient and rowdy and shouted their dissatisfaction toward the media journalists for interviewing Leehom for too long.


It’s been a year and a half since his last album, and “18 Martial Arts” is set to release on July 31st. Fans of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and other places came to show their support for the superstar, but they were all soaked in rain.

The event was originally scheduled to begin at 3pm. Leehom was ten minutes late, but he immediately performed his new single, “Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Tea”, as he dashed on stage. The fans in the rain screamed in excitement upon seeing their idol. Leehom’s good friend, Vivian Hsu, who wrote the lyrics for his latest single, also specially flew back from Japan to show her support. She gave Leehom a high-heel shoe shaped telephone as a gift and laughed, “He always busies himself with his fans and music. I’m giving him this, hoping that he can soon find a woman that will care about him and cook good things for him to eat.”

Britney Spears: Surprisingly Happy, Pulled Together!

Hand-picked by conservator Jamie Spears to date Britney, the pop star's former agent Jason Trawick certainly spends plenty of quality time with her family.

Nice to see she returns the favor sometimes.


Britney Spears and her man, who recently ended severed professional relationship to focus on their personal one, are enjoying a getaway in Santa Barbara.

There, they entertained some fun company yesterday - his folks! The cute couple stopped by Michael's Arts and Crafts store accompanied by the Trawicks.

Unlike the previous couple of times we've seen her, Britney appeared very pulled together and happy, rather than the haggard and confused mess of late.

Gotta impress the future in-laws, right?

Kings of Leon Concert Shut Down by Pigeon Poop

Three songs into their St. Louis concert Friday night, the Kings of Leon had to shut down the show on account of some unexpected accompaniment that CNN pins on "pooping pigeons."

"Jared [Followill, the band's bassist] was hit several times during the first two songs," said Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management. "It's not only disgusting – it's a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there."

The dirty birds were reported to have been lurking in the rafters of the Missouri city's Verizon Amphitheatre and launching their aerial attack during the band's opening number, "Closer." Followill, 23, got it in the face.

"I was hit by pigeons on each of the first three songs," said the musician and self-professed germophobe. "We had 20 songs on the set list. By the end of the show, I would have been covered from head to toe."
