Lindsay Lohan 'fuming' at court system, wants apology or compensation for her jail sentence: report


Now that doctors have reportedly concluded that Lindsay Lohan was misdiagnosed, the troubled actress is said to be seething mad at the court system.

According to TMZ.com, doctors at UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Westwood evaluated Lohan and do not believe she has bipolar disorder or an addiction to methamphethamine. In addition, she was reportedly misdiagnosed as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and given the prescription drug Adderall, which may have contributed to a string of manic side effects causing her unusual behavior.

Since she apparently doesn't have a problem, LiLo is looking for restitution for having been sentenced 90 days behind bars and three months in rehab for violating probation on a 2007 drunk driving charge. Due to overcrowding, the 24-year-old actress was granted early release from jail after two weeks and is currently serving her stint her rehab.

"Lindsay is fuming – she is really upset that the courts put her through all this," a source told Fox 411's Pop Tarts.

The Curiously Motivational Tweets of a Newly-Single Heidi Montag

Heidi Montag has had a rough couple of weeks. Recently, she's ended her run as a reality television starlet on MTV's docu-soap 'The Hills' and separated from husband Spencer Pratt. She's filed for divorce (set to be finalized on Valentines' Day 2011, of course), and now, Pratt is shopping an alleged lesbian sex tape featuring Montag. And just last week, the surgeon responsible for the shocking 10 procedures she endured late last year, Frank Ryan, died tragically in a car accident. It's enough to make a girl go crazy.

But Heidi is keeping her beautifully-sculpted chin up, and has been dealing with the very public tragedies of her private life on -- where else? -- Twitter.

Despite the hardships, Heidi appears to be feeling revitalized and is ridding herself of bad vibes. She's been tweeting positivity to her million-plus followers ever since her separation from her now-wildly bearded husband.

LG E900 Windows Phone 7 handset caught on video


Another LG Windows Phone 7 device has appeared in the wild, only a few days after we saw the LG C900 for AT&T.

The new handset is the LG E900 – it doesn’t have a QWERTY keyboard, like the C900, but it looks better overall.

The handset’s features have not been disclosed, but we do know that the display is a WVGA one (this xml file found at LG’s website says so). There’s also a photo camera with flash on the back of the device.

It’s said that the E900 will be launched in Europe, so we could see it hitting the shelves sometime in October. Until then, enjoy the blurry (and silent) video below, which shows Windows Phone 7 running smoothly on the unannounced LG smartphone:

Samsung Galaxy Tab Seen outside in Australia


Man, you just can't hide your gadgets from curious onlookers these days. Case in point: Samsung's Galaxy Tab was innocently doing some testing rounds through Sydney recently, only to be happened upon by the Electronista scribes, who diligently videotaped it -- seemingly without the knowledge of the tablet's possessor. The video confirms what we already know, it's a 7-inch tablet, it'll be driven by an Android, and it looks very much like a giant cellphone. The Samsung employee described it as "awesome" and very different from the iPad's experience, while the UI apparently looked very responsive. Go after the break to see for yourself.

Verizon’s HTC/Google slate using N-Trig touchscreen?

With IFA 2010 just around the corner, it feels like half the stories this week are about tablets. Now, on the back of reports that HTC are crafting a wireless tablet for Verizon for release this coming November, Haaretz is claiming that touchscreen specialists N-Trig will be providing the finger-friendly panels for the slate they’re calling the gPad.



According to their source, right now there’s only a single gPad prototype and most N-Trig employees don’t know of the collaboration with HTC. It’s also unclear whether the eventual tablet will be branded as a Google product, an HTC one or something else; still, it’ll definitely have multitouch support.

Check Out Big Bang’s ‘Somebody to Luv’


The boys of Big Bang are scheduled to release their newest Japanese EP titled Beautiful Hangover very soon. The EP contains two tracks, the first is Beautiful Hangover, which most of you already heard and the second track is Somebody to Luv. Last week, a short preview for Somebody to Luv was used to tease fans and now the full track has been released.

T.O.P. and G-Dragon actually have parts where they speak in Japanese in this track, it’s not strictly English for them. The track is very catchy and I actually prefer it over Beautiful Hangover. Check it out below and remember to support the boys by purchasing the music.

Tom Hanks Sandra Bullock For “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” Movie

Academy Award winners Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock are in discussions for the lead roles in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, a post-9/11 drama currently in pre-production.


The movie follows Oskar Schell, 9, as he tries to find that lock that goes with a key owned by his father, who died in 9/11. Three-time Oscar-nominated lensman Stephen Daldry is already on board to direct the project, which was penned by screenwriter Eric Roth.

The dramatic piece could be the first time fans will see Bullock back on the big screen since winning a Best Actress Oscar in March for her role in the inspirational biopic The Blind Side. Tom, on the other hand, enjoyed huge box office this summer after reprising his gig as the voice of Woody in Pixar’s wildly-popular Toy Story 3. The film was recently christened the highest-grossing animated film in cinema history.

Lady Gaga becomes most popular on Twitter

Telephone singer Lady Gaga has become the most popular person on Twitter after beating Britney Spears into second place.

Gaga, 24, now has 5,735,554 followers on the social networking site while Spears, 28, has 5,701,236 as of Monday August 23.

Pop singer Spears only had the title record for a few months after stealing it off King of Twitter Ashton Kutcher.

Although Famecount.com believe Gaga could face competition for the title from teen singer Justin Bieber, who is receiving a staggering 800,000 more followers each month.

It is thought he may steal her crown within six months.

Acer chairman: iPad market share will drop to 20-30%

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of ambition, but we can’t help but wonder if Acer chairman JT Wang is going to end up regretting his cavalier predictions about the iPad’s falling market share. Speaking to Chinese language paper the Economic Daily News, Wang suggested that by the time the tablet market “stabilizes” Apple’s share will have dropped from nearly 100-percent to 20 to 30-percent. The Acer chairman suggests that Apple’s closely-tied hardware, software and content divisions helped them “preempt” the market, but highlights recent research that found Android market share had surpassed that of iOS.

Wang believes the openness of Android will prevail over iOS’ relatively closed nature, and expects iPad rivals such as Acer’s own tablet – due Q4 this year – together with competitors from ASUS, Dell and others will eat away at Apple’s current dominance of the consumer tablet segment. While Apple’s in-house development allowed them to launch first, he suggests, when competitors get their own acts together it will show “long-term explosive strength.”

Toshiba Smart Pad imagery emerges, claims to be the real deal


Technically speaking, we already know what Toshiba's Smart Pad will look like. It was waved around in Australia briefly, and these shots seem to match it perfectly, but corroboration for their validity is otherwise light on the ground. Should you opt to trust them, after the break you'll find visual confirmation for the HDMI and USB ports already promised by Toshiba, along with a memory card reader and a pleasingly slender profile. The four touch buttons on its right side just scream Android as the operating system, and the whole thing again reminds us of the Compal tablet we saw back at CES and subsequently accused of being a Toshiba-in-waiting. Notebook Italia expects this bad boy to step out of the shadows properly at IFA this year, and we already know Toshiba is cranking hard on bringing us a tablet of some description by the end of October. Fun times ahead, eh?

Raymond Lam accused of ebing arrogant, will reflect on his actions

Raymond Lam attended a Metro Radio concert and towards the rumors of his arrogant attitude, always playing games during filming, late to work and several other 'violations'. He is generously responded: "In the next few days, it will turn into 17 violations. This is not the first time I'm being accused by others, I will first reflect on the things I didn't do good enough. I will try my best to do the best." Is the tree too big, attracting too much winds? He calmly said: "No matter what I do, people will criticize. Like in the past people said I was cold because at the time I didn't talk much."

Towards the rumors that Raymond is arrogant during filming, Joey Yung supported her junior: "I met him when we were filming for the movie, he's really considerate towards others, has astonishing endurance. After completing his concert, he had to attend the movie premiere the next day, this is something I can't do, but I felt that he never looks back, a very professional artist. (Accused of always playing games during filming?) He memorized the script already and even memorized my parts too." Joey said that Raymond is really friendly to his fans, there was one time a very excited fan girl rushed into the cafe looking for Raymond to get an autograph, Raymond really welcomed the fan. Joey said: "An artist that busy, being 5 minutes late, I find it reasonable."

F.T Island unveils ‘Love Love Love’ MV teaser


On August 11th, it was revealed that the boys of F.T Island would make their comeback in Korea with a new mini-album after concentrating on the Japanese market for the past few months.

Around a week later, F.T Island’s comeback was confirmed, as their new second mini-album was revealed to be titled Beautiful Journey.

Today, the MV teaser of their comeback title track Love Love Love was unveiled! The teaser reveals the boys looking like a puppet and in the end, it reveals a sneak peek of the track’s melody.

Archos 32 Android PMP gets pictured & detailed at Amazon

Having made its debut at the FCC a few weeks back, the new Archos 32 Android PMP/MID is getting further pushed into the limelight with a new set of information added to the Amazon preorder page. From the spec list, we know the Archos 32 has 8GB of onboard storage, a 3.2-inch 400 x 240 resolution display, WiFi, Archos AppLib software download access, a web-browser supporting multitouch pinch-zoom, and an integrated camera for shooting photos and videos.


There’s also broad audio codec support, with the new PMP content with MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, OGG, and FLAC formats for audio (together with optional AC3 5.1 support) and MPEG-4 HD, MPEG-4, H.264 HD, WMV9/ACP, and MJPG codecs with various extensions: AVI, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MPG, PS, TS, VOB, MKV, FLV, RM, RMVB, ASF, and WMV. Under the hood is an 800MHz Cortex A8 processor with DSP, and 3D OpenGL graphics acceleration.

The Archos 32 is currently listed at $147 though there’s no indication of when Amazon expect the PMP/MID to begin shipping. We’re still more than a little disappointed by the mere WQVGA resolution – cellphones with 3.2-inch screens have managed 480 x 320 – together with the absence of the full Android Market.

Vampires Suck Jennifer Aniston's Movie Dry…Er, Right?

Jennifer Aniston, funny vampires, 3D fish and more all crowded into the multiplex this weekend. Who had the worst time of it? And who had the best?

You may be surprised.

Pound for pound, the winner among the box office's new movies was Lottery Ticket. Reputation-wise, the loser was Aniston, whose The Switch grossed more per theater than Vampire Sucks, did better than its eighth-place ranking indicates, but that you're going to think bombed anyway.

Overall, Vampires Suck ($12.2 million) was the top new movie. Since debuting Wednesday, the $20 million Twilight spoof has grossed $18.6 million domestically.

Moving down through the standings, Lottery Ticket, the $17 million Bow Wow comedy, sold more tickets per theater than any Top 10 movie, including Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables ($16.5 million; $64.9 million overall), which enjoyed a second straight weekend at No. 1. Ranking-wise, Lottery Ticket placed fourth, with $11.1 million.

Angelina Jolie to Shoot a War "Love Story" in Bosnia This Fall

After spending the spring shooting The Tourist in Venice, Italy, Angelina Jolie will go before the cameras this fall in another European locale: Sarajevo, Bosnia.

The as-yet untitled flick is a romance set against the 1992-1995 Bosnian War, Reuters reports; Jolie, 35, will play one half of a couple that meets just before the savage war begins.

"The film is a love story, not a political statement," Jolie said in a statement issue by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for which the star is goodwill ambassador.

The mother of six made a surprise visit to the Eastern European nation on Saturday, meeting with various leaders there to discuss the plight of returning war refugees.

Jolie added that she wants the film's cast to include actors of all ethnicities from the country formerly known as Yugoslavia.

"I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can," she said.

No word on whether Jolie's famous children or beau, Brad Pitt, will reside with her in Sarajevo during filming.

Although she's been promoting her film Salt across the world, Jolie has been on a break from film work since Tourist wrapped; Pitt is currently filming Moneyball in Los Angeles.

Motorola most likely iPad rival

Who will give the iPad a run for its money? I would bet my bottom dollar on Motorola, or better yet, the dynamic duo of Motorola and Verizon.

The BlackBerry "Black Pad" from RIM, or Google gPad via HTC, or even or the self-proclaimed LG Optimus Tablet dark horse make for riveting speculation (among many other rumors or announcements), but Motorola has shown itself to be the most capable and consistent rival to the iPhone, which was a precursor to the iPad in many ways.

Motorola's Droid was one of the first high-end smartphones to emerge as a bona fide rival to the iPhone. Then came the Droid X, another capable competitor. And most recently, the Droid 2. And I would submit that the Droid X is a dry run for a tablet, with its galactic (by smartphone standards) 4.3-inch diagonal screen. HTC, of course, is a major force too. But any Google-HTC marketing model along the lines of the now-defunct Google Nexus One won't, by itself, rival the iPad. (The Dell Streak isn't much bigger than the Droid X and, so, isn't a tablet by iPad standards.)

If Motorola can get it right and deliver an aesthetically appealing and highly functional, people would buy it in large numbers. Why? Despite the unending--and well deserved--hoopla surrounding the iPad, there's always plenty of room for a decent alternative, as the Droid proves. And, surprisingly, no decent iPad alternative exists (i.e., slapping Android on a sloppy clone of the iPad is not a viable strategy against the iPad).

That could change very quickly, however. Android (or the Chrome OS) on a 10-inch screen, Adobe Flash, access to Verizon's FiOS cable service, dual cameras, with a powerful but fuel-efficient Texas Instruments or Nvidia processor inside? Bring it on.

Galaxy S unlock codes are stored in your phone, Vibrant capable of AT&T 3G


Sure, the Samsung Vibrant's a T-Mobile device and the Samsung Captivate belongs to AT&T, but there's no longer any reason you can't swap them around -- all you need is a simple script and a USB cable to completely unlock your phone. Dagentooboy of XDA-Developers discovered that Galaxy S unlock codes aren't kept in a secure remote server, but merely stored in a .BAK file on the device itself, which you find with a hex editor and key right in when inserting a new SIM card of your choice. We tested it out on both Vibrant and Captivate and were up and running in less than five minutes each time, and wonder of wonders, the Vibrant gave us a 3G data connection (with 2Mbps down) using an AT&T SIM. Sadly, we can't say the inverse for the Captivate, which pulled down standard EDGE speeds on T-Mobile, but this is already far more than the hacking community could have hoped for. The best part? None of this requires you to actually root the phone, and if you're worried about warranty you can re-lock the handset with the very same code.

Seventh "Hit King" award: champion Joey Yung, Leo Ku reelection after song

Southern News reporter trainee Hezhuo Wei Huang Ruihai "Hit King" to do for seven years, Joey took a seven-song, and despite the lack of new ideas, but they broke the major Chinese music awards ceremony a big record.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer: Back on Again?

Jennifer Aniston’s controversial comments about single parenting and use of the word retard on live TV have both raised eyebrows in recent weeks.

She's been criticized by Bill O'Reilly and countless others over the two incidents. Well, it's time to focus on more important matters - her love life!

Despite claims earlier this week the actress is dating a wealthy European banker, Britain’s Daily Mirror says Aniston has hooked back up with ...

... wait for it ...

... that douchebag John Mayer! Again!

“John invited Jen to come out and meet him while he was in Manhattan,” a source told the tabloid. “He told her he wanted to see her and even paid for a private jet to fly her from LA. They spent hours in his suite at the Four Seasons."

We know what that means. No one goes to John Mayer's suite for conversation. But will Jen fall for his tricks, only to be burned by him again? “Jen’s been hurt by him before and isn’t prepared to go public with the relationship just yet.”

This news comes amid reports of Jen meeting with a surrogate.

“Jennifer has spent the last few months discreetly looking into the technicalities,” a source said. "She has been holding private meetings with prospective women."

"We think she’s narrowed it down to her final two."

Best Buy Plans All But Confirm Big Tablet Influx This Holiday Season

With all the of looming tablet news churning in the news cycle today, it's really no surprise that a big box chain like Best Buy would be clamoring to get as many devices as possible onto store shelves, and soon.

And the news today is that they totally are, with the full push coming, unsurprisingly, this holiday season.

As reported recently in Forbes, the big blue and yellow chain will make tablets a focus this holiday, most likely in the run up to and on Black Friday. There was no mention of specific models or anything like that, but you'd be entirely safe and secure with the belief that the iPad will most certainly not be the only touchscreen slab of metal, plastic and silicon sitting on Best Buy shelves come November.

Of course, if you've been following the tablet rumor space for any amount of time this summer, the notion that this holiday—and most of Q4, for that matter—will be inundated with tablets sporting Android, Windows 7 and iOS.

Pay no attention to that playful UI behind the Google Maps curtain


Thought the page-turning Macallan was nifty? You ain't seen nothing yet -- The Astonishing Tribe (the brains behind the look of Android) aims to give you billowing, rippling cloth-like curtains of clever interactive content with their concept Velvet UI. Pull out a widget or Google Maps query, and a sheet of your desired result waves with the virtual wind, before stretching out flat for you to more comfortably interact with. Running on MeeGo (and apparently possible on Android) it's built with the company's proprietary UI framework, so don't expect it to hit tablets anytime soon unless someone throws them some bucks.

Yahoo completes switch to Microsoft-powered search

A week after it began shifting to Bing for its search results, Yahoo says it has finished the transition, at least for its main search results in the U.S. and Canada.

The move comes more than a year after the Microsoft and Yahoo reached a deal to partner on search. There's still plenty of work to do as the companies work to shift the more complicated paid search part of the business and continue the move internationally.

In a blog post, Yahoo noted that Bing is now powering Web, image and video search for both desktop and mobile searches.

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt: Why We're in Costa Rica Together

Just when you thought it was over, Speidi returns.

Although Spencer Pratt signed divorce documents in his split from Heidi Montag less than two weeks ago, the duo continue to stir up drama.

Pratt says he's shopping a sex tape of Montag with another woman and also writing a relationship tell-all. Plus, the two have been sparring on Twitter.

But Sunday, they were spotted by TMZ.com together in Costa Rica where they are still spending time.

So what gives?

"I had to bring the puppies down and help them move in," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "[Heidi] thought I was going to leave, but I'm not. I didn't want to get divorced … I have nothing in Malibu, I'm homeless, I'm nothing without her."

Montag admits she agreed to have Pratt join her in Costa Rica. "Everything was calm and going smoothly with the divorce," she says. "We were really getting along and it was amazing he was being so thoughtful to help me move. Then things turned."

By things turning, Montag is referring to the supposed deal Pratt is working on with Vivid Entertainment to sell a sex tape. "There is no sex tape that exists and there never was," she says. "Spencer is trying to drum up press. This is exactly why I wanted to divorce him in the first place."

But Pratt insists such a tape does exist. "I told Heidi … if you don't want to do the new reality show with me, then I'll have to release old footage," he says. "I can get $5 million from a sex tape, but I really don't want to do that. It's not the way I want things to be. Heidi is furious with me but I need to look out for myself."

As for the future, "I'm going to leave the hotel and get a house because Spencer won’t leave me alone and won't go back to Malibu right now," Montag says. "It's just too hard. I still love him, but I can't stand what he's doing."

Cheryl Cole Playboy Magazine Offer $1 Million


British songbird Cheryl Cole is the latest sexy siren being courted for a scantily-clad Playboy Magazine centerfold by bosses at the House That Hef Built.

The Girls Aloud frontwoman has posed for some very raunchy shots for her Official 2011 Calendar and could net $1 million if she’s prepared to strip naked for the iconic men’s mag. However, Cheryl’s pals insist the clean-cut beauty would never take off her clothes for Playboy Magazine.

“She’s always been fundamentally opposed to going nude in magazines,” a source tells the Daily Star. “Cheryl has a fortune of £10 million. It’s not like she needs the money.”

Samsung Galaxy Tab leaks again: Android 2.2 and 3.2MP camera

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has shown up in a new set of images, with Ifanr‘s tipster sharing not only photos of a prototype tablet but some first-impressions too. Thanks to the vagaries of machine translation it’s not 100-percent clear, but the report seems to suggest that the Galaxy Tab’s 7-inch 1024 x 600 display is a good balance between the 5-inch Streak and the 9.7-inch iPad, being clear and color rich, while the chassis is on the plasticky side which translates to a lightweight tablet in the hands.



Also confirmed is a 3.2-megapixel camera and 3G – which fits in with reports of a potential launch on Verizon in the US and Vodafone in the UK later on in 2010 – together with an apparently preloaded ereader app. Samsung have used a proprietary power/docking connector, it seems, rather than microUSB, which is a disappointment.

Katy Perry's Teenage Dream: The No-Concept Concept Album


Bigger Than the Sound wonders: Does Perry's latest mark the death of the album?

Conventional wisdom these days seems to hold that the album is dead, singles are the lifeblood of the music industry, and people prefer their music as bite-size chunks, in whatever bit rate available and on their phones whenever possible. This is conventional wisdom, of course, because it is probably true. Just look at the carnage on the Billboard albums chart for proof. It would seem that nobody buys albums anymore (unless they have Eminem's name on them) and that we're all just a few short years away from the complete extinction of the medium. That is not as farfetched as it might seem. In fact, it's basically a certainty at this point.

Still, perhaps you continue to believe in the power of the long-player, in the majesty of the deep cut. Perhaps you are holding out hope for the return of the 80-minute magnum opus or the darkened-room, double-disc experience. Who's to say you are wrong? Well, I am. And so is Katy Perry. Because next Tuesday, she'll release Teenage Dream, 44 minutes of shimmering, pitch-perfect pop music that may very well signify the end of the album as we know it.

Underage idols face violation of basic human rights

A shocking news story has recently been reported, and it deals with the underage idols and trainees who dream of becoming a celebrity. The report states that the underage idols have to endure strong violations of basic human rights, especially in the arenas of sexual exploitation and learning affairs.


According to sources reported from a Women and Family Affairs Youth Policy Analysis and Evaluation Center report, titled, “Analysis of Underage Idols’ Sexual Protection, Labor and Learning Affairs Condition,” one out of every ten idols experienced a request that they reveal certain body parts. In addition, among these underage idols, 50% are having their learning rights violated because they cannot properly listen to class lecture, and 36% are having their child labor rights violated because they work at least 8 hours a day.

Furthermore, this investigation also stated that out of the celebrities who are 19 years old or less, 10.2% answered “yes” to having revealed either their leg, breast, or butt during their activities as celebrities. Female students were especially (60%) targeted by requests to reveal their bodies, or strongly encouraged to undergo plastic surgery (14.6%). Additionally, although 65.9% of these underage idols realize the importance of attending and listening to class lecture, during the first semester, 26.9% of these idols were typically only able to attend class two days out of the entire week.

Stallone's 'Expendables' retains crown with $16.5M

So much for the "Vampire" threat at the box office this weekend. "The Expendables" had a strong Saturday to come back and win the frame with $16.5 million. After its second straight No. 1 finish, Sylvester Stallone's epic action flick has grossed $64.9 million.

As for "Vampires Suck," the comedy spoof found $12.2 million and has taken in $18.8 million since its Wednesday debut. Considering the marketing for the 20th Century Fox flick came down to a last minute barrage of TV spots and a trailer, there won't be many complaints on the Century City lot on Monday.

In third place, "Eat Pray Love" fell just under 50% for another $12 million and a new cue of $47.1 million. Sony Pictures will hope the Julia Roberts romantic drama will eventually Meryl Streep's "Julie and Julia's" domestic gross of $94 million last year. We'll see.

Bow Wow's "Lottery Ticket" didn't perform like a Tyler Perry movie, but the Alcon Entertainment produced comedy found $11.1 million. Not bad for a late August release aimed mostly at the African-American market.

The Weinstein Company may have made a big mistake waiting so long to show the long delayed "Piranha 3D" to critics (it currently has an 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but only 53 grade on Metacritic). Unfortunately, it was too little too late as the horror comedy scared up just $10 million. Whether it can even reach the $40 million mark remains to be seen.

The weekend's other new releases, Miramax's "The Switch" with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman, grossed $8.1 million and "Nanny McPhee Returns" just $8.3 million.
