Glee good girl Lea Michelle changes her tune with a VERY racy photo shoot

It's a look that would make Glee good girl Rachel Berry gasp.

But in real life, actress Lea Michelle is proving to be much more daring than her famous on-screen character.



The 23-year-old shows her sexy side in this new racy photo shoot for celebrity hairdresser Mark Townsend’s website MARKTBeauty.com.

In one shot she sheds her top, wearing only a suit jacket daringly left open, showing off a huge glittery necklace.

In another, the star wears a transparent lace American Apparel bodysuit and satin trousers and looks a world away from the high school girl she plays on the hit show.

Is Jennifer Lopez Still a Sex Symbol?

Sultry siren Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of this month's Glamour looking every inch the Jenny From the Block babe.


The accompanying photo spread continues the theme, featuring the hot mama dressed in an assortment of wild animal prints. But if you actually read the article, J.Lo focuses more on the mama, not so much the hot...

"I'm the one who keeps everybody on schedule, like, Got to go to bed at this time, got to eat something," she tells the mag, noting that hubby Marc Anthony gets to play the pushover parent to twins Emme and Max.

So maybe an apron and a swing dress would have been more appropriate attire than the leopard getup? Or is J.Lo just just playing it coy about having

Is Android unstoppable?

Canalys have published their quarterly report on the mobile market yesterday, this time focusing on the second quarter of this year. Statistics from other research companies such as IDG and Gartner, and even those from phone makers themselves can and probably will be different from these. That’s just how it always is. The following quick analysis is based solely on the numbers from Canalys, please keep that in mind. Also do understand that these numbers reflect global market shares.

What the numbers say



Android’s market share grew by an amazing 886% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. And as exciting as that sounds, it was pretty much to be expected. Back in Q2 2009 Android had 2.8% of the smartphone market. You can only go up from such a measly number, basically.

Charlene Choi: "Don't plan for the present, don't be reluctant to let go of the past, don't worry about the future."


All by herself as a result of her Twins partner's divisive photos, having her love life stripped bare and exposed to the world. In recent years, Ah Sa Charleen Choi has gone through many experiences, whatever is capable of being endured, she has endured it. The problem is, feelings and emotions do not have human attributes, they won't stop when they think you've endured enough. Previously, the passing away of her maternal grandfather was yet another test for Ah Sa, to test if she has the ability to endure.

I believe..


How to face it? There are 18 words that are enough for everyone to use in their lifetime. "Don't plan for the present, don't be reluctant to let go of the past, don't worry about the future." This is the kind of approach her Buddhist grandfather has left for her, leaving happiness and ease everywhere. "Perhaps everything is up to fate, the start and end of every matter is dictated, relationships I will be even more unlikely to rush. I have confidence that the future will be happy and blessed." Having a princess who falls ill, but having the princess style of a happy ending, if the princess has brought on her sickness herself, then you can bring on your own princess style ending, depending on whether you have an open mind.

S.H.E's Hebe is finally "flying solo" releasing her individual album which has been in production for two years, however H.I.M are trying to be mysterious. Online, there has been a 30 second preview clip circulating, which doesn't reveal the girl's eyes, nor is there a name attached to this clip, but as soon as fans heard it, they knew who that unique singing voice belonged it.

Its simple shots show a girl with long flowing hair, but doesn't show her face yet her graceful vocals have attracted lots of attention. Even though fans have already discovered who this mysterious person is, H.I.M are still persistent, "We've seen this clip and think this girl sings really well, we believe that with her talents, she will be a real competitor among this summer's female singers."

Jolin Tsai to reveal even more of herself in "Love's Pupil" music video


It’s been only a week since “Honey Trap” was released, but Jolin Tsai already has a new music video in the works. She will promote “Love’s Pupil (玩愛之徒)” as the next single from her album Myself, which is set for release on August 10th. Although Jolin is famous for her body, it is probably the first time she has shown this much of it. The new video features her in a bathtub, as well as a very revealing body suit that is sure to make everyone envy!

The song "Love's Pupil" is about men who cheat, while its music video will depict a man revolving between two women. The character played by Jolin was left heat broken, but instead of hiding herself somewhere to cry, she recovered by dancing her pain away. In addition to dance therapy, she also soaked herself in a bathtub to release her emotions. Jolin was reluctant at first to film the bathing scene after a difficult photo shoot in a pool for her album, but luckily her staff was able to convinced her in the end.

Raymond Lam gives Ah Sa 'open sound' sweet tea to make her loved


Yesterday, music pop queen Joey Yung, Charlene Choi (Ah Sa), Raymond Lam, Wong Cho Lam and Miriam Yeung were recording for "JSG". Earlier Ah Sa was in Mainland shooting and because the local area has a lot of mosquitoes, the bug repellent caused a reaction to her windpipe, she expressed: "Today I was suppose to sing two songs, but now I'm only singing the duet with Raymond. He gave me some 'open sound' tea to help get my voice back! (Raymond's tea is really expensive, HK$5,000 for one?) I don't think so, he only said that his singing teacher recommended it to him. (How will you repay him?) I'll tell my mom to make a 5,000 dollar soup for him! But his tea is different from the one I drank before, it's sweet."

Lady Gaga Scores Record-Breaking 13 MTV Video Music Award Nominations

Anyone who thinks Lady Gaga is overhyped might want to avoid the MTV Video Music Awards next month.

Why? Because the "Bad Romance" singer scored a whopping 13 nominations for the Sept. 12 bash, the most nods ever received by a single artist in a single year, ever. Hear that, Little Monsters? Ev. Er.


Nipping at her ridiculously high and balance-threatening heels is Eminem, whose collaboration-heavy comeback album Recovery earned him a second-best eight.

Also scoring noms were Gaga accomplice Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Drake, Ke$ha, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys (and new hubby Swizz Beatz!), Usher, Pink, Rihanna, Jason Derulo, Coldplay and Taylor Swift.

Sandra Bullock Earns Top Paycheck in Hollywood

For months and months, whenever Sandra Bullock's name was mentioned, folks would tilt their heads to one side with concern, sigh heavily, and say something like, "Poor thing." Mired in ex-husband Jesse James' infidelity scandal, it seems everyone forgot for a second that Bullock is also the most successful actress in the world -- one who raked in an estimated $56 million last year, according to Forbes, which just released its annual listing of the highest-earning actresses in film.

Bullock maintains a very healthy lead over her nearest competitors, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz, who both earned $32 million between June 2009 and June 2010. Rounding out the top five are Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker, with earnings of $27 million and $25 million, respectively.

Much of Bullock's stellar earning power can be chalked up to faith -- faith in her films, that is. Bullock slashed her usual upfront fee to star in 'The Proposal' and 'The Blind Side,' opting instead to take a larger portion of each film's profits -- supposing they made any. It was a risky move, but both films turned out to be box office smashes, with 'The Proposal' taking in over $317 million worldwide, and 'The Blind Side' grossing over $308 million on a budget of less than $30 million. Of 'The Blind Side's' massive bundle, $255 million was banked in the U.S., making the film the first ever headlined by a female movie star to top $200 at the domestic box office.

'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two' hits November 2012

Twilight fans rejoice! Your relationship with this franchise doesn’t have to come to a close for another two years. Summit Entertainment announced today that the final movie in the epic saga will debut on Nov. 16, 2012, one year after Breaking Dawn Part One hits theaters on Nov. 18, 2011.


Will the final installment be in 3-D? Summit says a decision has yet to be made, but sources say director Bill Condon and Co. are opting to NOT go for a third dimension. Many of the Twilight fans have been very vocal regarding their opposition to 3-D, but with the final chapter of the saga focusing on Bella’s life after she’s turned into a vampire, it could be compelling from a story view. And the extra revenue wouldn’t hurt either.

Motorola, Verizon prepping media tablet

Motorola and Verizon are working together to produce a tablet specifically for watching television content, according to a report in the Financial Times on Tuesday.

The tablet is said to have a 10-inch screen and will use Google's Android operating system. The premier feature of the tablet will be the ability to access Verizon's FiOS cable service from it, according to the FT's anonymous sources. The tablet is said to be "thinner and lighter than the iPad," and will allow tethering. It will also support Adobe Flash, according to the report. There will also be two cameras, one front-facing for video conferencing, and another on the back for photos.

Though the report did not have the name of the device or a price, it could be for sale this fall in the U.S.

Verizon declined to comment.

Report: Next iPad likely to include camera

The next version of the iPad is likely to sport the camera that many were hoping would be on the first model, at least according to information uncovered by AppleInsider.

A document of Apple's iPad management policies, which let IT departments govern the features that corporate users can access, makes mention of the ability to disable the use of the camera. AppleInsider believes this offers some evidence that the company is planning to add a camera to upcoming models.

As a further breadcrumb, AppleInsider also cited a job listing from Apple for a "Performance QA Engineer, iPad Media" in which the company is "looking for a software quality engineer with a strong technical background to test still, video and audio capture and playback frameworks." Applicants are invited to "build on your QA experience and knowledge of digital camera technology (still and video) to develop and maintain testing frameworks for both capture and playback pipelines."

If the next generation of the iPad does offer a camera, it will likely be a front-facing model that will support FaceTime, said AppleInsider. Though FaceTime's new video chatting is only available on the iPhone 4, ZDNet and other sources have reported that the feature may soon find itself on upcoming versions of the iPod Touch as well as the iPad.

HP Envy 14 review


The HP Envy 14 is like the final revision of a C+ term paper that always had potential, but just needed an bit of extra information and refinement to get an A. In fact, when HP introduced the Envy 14, the company was rather blunt about the fact that many of the issues that plagued the original Envy systems had been addressed, including the lack of an optical drive and backlight keyboard, the frustrating touchpad and the heat caused by the Core i7 processor. On paper, the 14.5-inch Envy 14 has everything we wanted to see in those first models while still maintaining its beautiful yet tough etched aluminum chassis. It's also got a new lower $999 starting price, though our review unit rang up at $1,290. So, has the Envy 14 finally make its way to the head of the class? We've spent some quality time with the rig to find out.

Jay Chou to film 3D version of "Secret 2"; female lead exposed

Recently Jay Chou has been busy with his world tour, but in recent days a Taiwanese cinematographer Kiven revealed on his blog the plans of Jay Chou's new movie "Secret 2", the female lead has been exposed early. According to cinematographer Kiven: "After Jay Chou is finished with his concert next year, he'll film the sequel to Secret. At present the script is already being planned, this time it's going to be a bit more sci-fi, and also bits of it will be in 3D."

When Jay Chou was filming "Secret" he already had ideas for "Secret 2", it was just because he was busy with other things afterwards that nothing came of it. The script for the new movie has already been in the works since the start of last year, it's been confirmed now that they will start filming in September next year. Earlier Jay Chou revealed to the media, besides the background crew for the movie not changing, the majority of the male cast will also be the same, but for the female cast he wants to "change things". He's worried that the audience have too deep of an impression of Guai Lun Mei and Alice Tzeng, so with a newcomer it will give the movie a different feeling. And about other details of the movie, Jay Chou has been unwilling to reveal any information.

Topless Katy Perry Wears Just Fishnets in Racy Pic

No Daisy Dukes or bikini tops in sight!

Inside the new issue of Rolling Stone, Katy Perry poses topless, wearing nothing but fishnet stockings. The "California Gurls" singer is only slightly more dressed on the cover (wearing lingerie) and other interior shots.

Perry, 25, opens up to the magazine about her misunderstood fiance Russell Brand.

"Russell's so sensitive and sweet...the Russell that people know from the media is not him at all," she says.

Raised in California by strict, Christian pastor parents, the quirky star explains how, despite her sometimes racy image, religious imagery and other elements in pop culture bother her.

"I am sensitive to Russell taking the Lord's name in vain and to Lady Gaga putting a rosary in her mouth," she says, referring to Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" video. "I think when you put sex and spirituality in the same bottle and shake it up, bad things happen. Yes, I said I kissed a girl. But I didn't say I kissed a girl while f-ing a crucifix."

Ke$ha and Friends Terrorize Motel in New Music Video for 'Take It Off'


Ke$ha is back with a colorful new music video for her single 'Take It Off' -- a song that's sure to dominate the charts as it lodges itself in your brain for the next three months. Continuing a common narrative in her videos, Ke$ha and a pack of her closest nomadic friends take over a desert motel and proceed to have a "dirty free for all" that culminates in explosions of rainbow dust and glitter (business as usual for the party animal set). Love or hate the dollar-signed pop star, we're sure you'll tap at least one toe to this catchy track.

Justin Bieber to Star in 3D Biopic

Justin Bieber is about to become 3D-licious!

The adorable singer isn't content with his plans to takeover the writing world, as multiple sources confirm he'll star in a movie next year that focuses on his unexpected rise to fame. It will chronicle his life story and, most exciting of all, will be released in 3D.

Go ahead and scream, gals. Bieber will be coming to a theater near you - almost literally!


Oscar-winning director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) is in negotiations to direct the film, which will arrive on February 11. Tweeted Justin about this news:

Next Valentine's we r coming with a major 3D Movie telling the story with an Oscar winning director and also filmin the tour at MSG in NYC!!" Bieber tweeted Monday.

What Is Microsoft's Mysterious Black Nub?

Microsoft Hardware has been playing some games on Twitter this week, releasing a pair of images that add up to something flat, black, and thin. Pretty sure it's not a Microsoft eraser, so what are our next-best guesses?


Trackpads are certainly en vogue lately, so this could be some sort of peripheral along those lines (especially since Microsoft Hardware focuses on keyboards, mice, etc.). And that makes sense in conjunction with another tweet from the same account:

"Don't be so touchy…flat is where it's at."

Without a sense of scale, though, your guess is as good as mine. New Zune HD? It'd be about time. New Windows Phone 7 handset? That seems to merit a bigger reveal than a Twitter account with less than 500 followers. But hey, who knows?

Google rolling out multi-account sign-in to users


Hardcore Gmail users have been waiting for quite a few things from Google, but few are higher on the must-have list than this. In the past few hours, the Big G has quietly enabled some accounts with a multiple account sign-in option, which -- as you'd surmise -- allows users to sign into more than one Gmail account within the same browser. In the past, users had to use all sorts of tricks (or worse still, a secondary browser solely for their secondary email account) in order to view various identities at once, but now it's as easy as selecting the option and tagging a drop-down menu. Sadly, committing to this sort of sorcery has its drawbacks: Offline Gmail and Calendar will both be disabled (and this doesn't work on mobile devices), and there's no time table as to when those kinks will be worked out. For now, most of you will have time to think it over as you wait for your account(s) to be activated -- everyone else has no excuse for twiddling their thumbs.
