Taylor Swift wears ANOTHER silver dress as she kicks of the NFL season with a sparkling performance

It isn't unusual for someone to have 10 pairs of jeans - but ten silver dresses?

Country music sensation Taylor Swift rocked out in yet another sparkly silver creation as she performed at a special pre-game show honouring the Super Bowl winning New Orleans Saints as they hosted the Minnesota Vikings last night.


The 20-year old star seems to be a big fan of wearing the metallic colour, having donned at least 7 different but similar styles in the past couple of years.

The singer wore a short tinsel like creation with a sheer front and integrated choker for the short set she performed before the teams hit the field.

Very similar to a tasselled sparkly dress she wore down the red carpet at this years Clive Davis Pre Grammy Party in January.

What Does Jennifer Aniston See in Lindsay Lohan's Ex?

Call it puppy love.

Jennifer Aniston has been spending a lot of time lately with Lindsay Lohan's ex, Harry Morton, and while there's a 12-year age difference, pals say this summer hookup makes perfect sense.

"Harry has been to Jen's Beverly Hills house and they have had several restaurant dates as well," a source tells PEOPLE. "Just like Jen, Harry is a dog lover and they both love the beach."

Aniston, 41, and Morton, 29, the Pink Taco restaurant chain founder and Hard Rock heir who dated Lohan for about three months in 2006, have been stepping out together for about a month now.

"It still seems to be casual," says the source, "but Jen has been glowing lately and seems very happy."

Aniston also was spotted recently with Cougar Town actor Josh Hopkins – the actress shot a guest spot on the show – but pals are keeping a close eye on Morton.

"Jen and Harry used to be neighbors in Malibu," a source tells PEOPLE. "Jen likes Harry because he is kind and low-key. Even though Harry is very successful and wealthy, he is not flashy and just like Jen, has a circle of close friends that are protective of him."

Microsoft celebrates Windows Phone 7 RTM with funeral parade for BlackBerry and iPhone


The iPhone's dead, long live the Windows Phone. That must be the genius proclamation that incited Microsoft to celebrate Windows Phone 7 reaching RTM status with the incomprehensible procession you see above. An elaborate parade, replete with hearses and black capes, was organized last week to denote the passing of the BlackBerry and iPhone into the land of unwanted gadgets. We'd say this is done in poor taste, but we don't enjoy stating the obvious. We will, however, enjoy the fallout from this poorly judged stunt. See our favorite image after the break and lots more at the source.

Update: Apparently the team also engaged in a Thriller dance. Words are failing us, so just hop on past the break and mash play.

F4 reunites for next year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala?!

The Year of the Rabbit isn’t until February of 2011, but there are already rumors of who will be performing at next year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The Chinese New Year extravaganza is watched by a billion viewers every year. Stars that are lucky enough to be invited often get a major career boost after appearing on the show.


Back in January, 80s Taiwanese boygroup The Little Tigers reunited for a special performance in the gala. Their surprise reunion was not only a huge hit with the audience, but also with concert organizers. Offers made to the group reportedly had a 30% price increase.

Although F4 hasn't been around as long as the "Tigers", they will be celebrating their tenth year in 2011. Viewers sure won't mind seeing them on TV, and fans are apparently starting a petition in hopes they will reunite for a 10-year anniversary concert. F4's manager didn't deny about receiving an offer from CCTV, but said they are awaiting more details. The managers for each member will be returning to Taiwan in a few days, so they hope to begin negotiations on working out their schedules first.

Blue beauty! Blake Lively brings sexy back in a navy cut-out dress

She's famous for her sense of style and perfectly preened look on hit teen show Gossip Girl.

And Blake Lively didn't disappoint fans yesterday, as she filmed an episode of the show in a stunning short navy blue sleeveless dress and pair of beige strappy heels.


The star, who plays socialite Serena van der Woodsen in the series, wore her long blonde hair loose around her shoulders for the New York shoot.

But at one point, it seemed the 23-year-old star's strappy heels might have become a bit too much.

In her breaks from filming, Lively swapped out the spiky shoes for a pair of more comfortable flats.

Fans of the star's fashionable image will have a bit of a shock later this month when Lively appears in new Ben Affleck film The Town.

Samsung Galaxy Tab heading to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint?


The way that rumors and Verizon's statements have been lining up this year, you might've been under the impression that its upcoming Android tablets would be carrier exclusives -- but maybe not: ye olde Wall Street Journal is citing "three people familiar with the matter" (it's not often they give a quantity of familiar people!) as saying that Big Red, AT&T, and Sprint are all on tap to take delivery of the Galaxy Tab. In light of Samsung's strategy in deploying the Galaxy S as far and wide (and with as little exclusivity) as possible, that'd certainly make sense -- the company is comfortable switching between GSM, CDMA, and even WiMAX radios at this point without breaking a sweat.

Jaejoong + Kim Hyun Joong + Jung Yong Hwa to star in a new drama together?

There’s an interesting rumor brewing that TVXQ / JYJ’s Jaejoong will be joined by SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong and CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa for a new drama titled Cinderella.


Famous actress Song Hye Kyo is also rumored to have a starring role in the drama. Filming is set to begin in Korea in December and run until February of 2011. The filming location will then change to Japan in March 2011. There’s no word on which station this potential drama will air on but the rumor states that the broadcast will begin airing in May 2011.

The drama’s premise is about a 30 year old money hungry woman that finds interest in a man visiting South Korea, whom is the heir to a rich fortune.

Tiffany having just returned from Thailand's Four Face Buddha with Sonia Sui, had again denied boyfriend Ethan Ruan's accompaniment. She said this two day trip was with her 6 girlfriends, although HOW also went, but she shared a room with Sonia. "Of course girlfriends should sleep together to be able to have a good chat ah!" In addition to doing spa together, because there are very few Chinese people there, its very comfortable, the two also take funny pictures on the streets.

50 Cent Has the Gay Community Up in Twitter Arms

Earlier this week, rapper 50 Cent decided to take aim at the blogger Perez Hilton in an entirely unorthodox and upsetting way, after Hilton called him a d-bag.

50 tweeted the following: "Perez Hilton calld me d-----bag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better. "

The tweet was accompanied by a photo of two men in suits running from an angry mob.

Perez Hilton responded on Twitter with the equally vitriolic but less biased remark.

"50 Cent joking about violence towards gays is about as expired as the days when he used to be musically relevant!"

Now the gay and lesbian community hopes to go after the rapper, not by having their homies shoot up anyone, but by attacking him on Twitter.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is calling on community members and allies to tweet back at 50 Cent asking folks to tweet:

RT @glaad: Tell @50cent to let his fans know that anti-gay violence isn't something to joke about. http://bit.ly/ab6rXV #LGBT #gay Pls RT!

iPhone 4 free case program to end September 30th, get one while you still can


Back when Apple initially said it'd offer free iPhone 4 cases to assuage reception concerns, there was a September 30th deadline given for the program. After which, according to Steve and company during the post-press conference Q&A, Apple would "evaluate" the prolonged need for such an offer. Well, looks like the decision has been made. In a statement on its website, Apple has confirmed the free case program will be discontinued for all iPhone 4s sold after September 30th, and the return policy for the smartphone will return to normal, pre-antennagate rules. Evidently, said the statement, "we now know the iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought." It had to end sometime, folks.

ATV complains monopoly abuse, BA to conduct thorough investigation on TVB

TVB has dominated the television industry for over 40 years, the "monopolist" is challenged again. The Broadcasting Authority (BA) has recently completed the preliminary investigations on TVB's monopoly based on ATV's allegations. Yesterday BA announced their decision to perform a thorough investigation on TVB's dominance abuse and violation of fair competition. The BA investigations leads to another turmoil that TVB has to face. It was understood that ATV's complaint directing concrete allegations on TVB triggered BA's first anti-monopoly investigation. The allegations includes [Chen Sheng] and three other Taiwanese singers suddenly canceling to attend an ATV promotion August 2009 and while attending an ATV promotion for a fundraising plan, Eric Tsang suddenly backs out.

ATV's attack on TVB started June 2009. ATV's CEO (Wu King Ying) at the time criticized a free TV station's monopoly at the BA hearing and then fired again at the LegCo that there is a TV station setting unwritten rules, making it difficult for ATV to find artists and singers willing to collaborate with them. BA's President (Ho Pui Him)accepted ATV's formal complaint and that the matter will be taken seriously.

Lindsay Lohan Baby? Lohan Plotting Pregnancy


Colliding with a stroller in her Maserati last week must have gotten Lilo feeling all maternal, because now she’s telling anyone who’ll listen that she wants a kid. The scandal-scarred actress, 24, believes a baby would be the perfect motivation to keep her sober …and keep her company since she “hates being alone.”

“She needs to be around someone nearly 24 hours a day,” a friend squealed to In Touch Weekly this week. “She thinks having a baby could straighten out her life.”

Drats! can’t the court put an injunction on her uterus or something?

Android usage to surpass BlackBerry, iOS by year end

Gartner says Android's position is two years earlier than expected

The Android will edge out Research In Motion's BlackBerry and Apple's iOS for all of 2010 to become the second best-selling mobile operating system globally behind Nokia's Symbian, according to market research firm Gartner.

Gartner today also predicted that by 2014, Android will be neck-and-neck even with the Symbian OS, which is used in Nokia mobile phones.

Android's move to second place by the end of this year is almost two years sooner than Gartner predicted just a year ago.

While Android has made quick advances in market share, Gartner said there will be a handful of major mobile OS players for a few years longer. They will include Symbian, Android, BlackBerry, iOS and Windows Phone 7, because of strong support from wireless carriers and application developers, Gartner said. Also, the major OSes will build strong brand awareness with consumer and enterprise customers.

Taylor Thinks Kanye Can Take His Song and Shove It!

One year after Kanye West stole Taylor Swift's thunder in epic fashion at the MTV Video Music Awards, the attention seeker is at it again, however, this time she's fighting back.

Last weekend, West tweeted that he "wrote a song for Taylor that's so beautiful," and if she rejects it, then he'll perform it for her. Well, warm up that Auto-Tune machine, Kanye, because sources tell me she wants nothing to do with it.

"Taylor writes her own sounds and has been very successful at it," a record executive tells me. "Why would she want to sing one of Kanye's songs? The last thing she wants to do is give him any more attention or make him any money."

It's true that songwriters often make more money than performers on song royalties. Dolly Parton, who wrote 'I Will Always Love You,' famously said that when she wrote the iconic song, she opened a bank account, but when Whitney Houston recorded it, she bought the bank.

Apple prepping iChat Face Time apps for Mac and PC?

Apple is reportedly preparing Face Time clients for both OS X and Windows, according to Mac4Ever‘s sources, with the video calling technology apparently set for integration with iChat on the Mac. The move would follow Face Time’s debut on the new iPod touch, and likely give a significant boost to users of the service.



If true, Apple are unlikely to be the only company planning Face Time integration with desktop software. The company has promised to release the necessary APIs so that other manufacturers and software developers can create interoperable products – Qik recently confirmed they plan to do so with their eponymous software, which will run on Android and Symbian among other platforms – though has not yet set a public timescale for their availability.

The French site also suggested that iLife would soon be updated, removing iDVD and replacing it with a new, unknown application.

Grey’s Anatomy Wedding Secrets Revealed

After surviving the shooter rampage that claimed the lives of two doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital on the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy, Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) realize that life is too precious — and will tie the knot during the show’s Sept. 23 premiere on ABC.

“It’s very surprising,” Oh tells PEOPLE. “Hopefully it will make sense [to viewers]. After something as obliterating as the shooter comes in, when push comes to shove Owen says, ‘I want to spend my life with you.’ It’s almost clearer and easier to make that decision.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Cristina was about to say “I do.” In season 3, she and Burke (Isaiah Washington) nearly tied the knot. But in the end he backed out, leaving her heartbroken in her wedding dress.

Things are very different this time around. “When she was about to marry Burke many of the decisions weren’t really hers,” Oh says. “She never wanted to get married or wear ‘the dress.’ Having a much more relaxed and casual wedding is closer to who she and Owen are.”

The happy occasion was well-received by all the actors on the set of Grey’s, but perhaps not for the reasons you’d expect. Says Oh, “I think people were more happy and giddy not to be wearing scrubs.”

People hanging out more on Facebook than Google

Internet users are spending a bit more time these days socializing on Facebook than searching on Google, according to new data from market researcher ComScore.

In August, people spent 41.1 million minutes on Facebook, accounting for 9.9 percent of the total number of minutes they spent online for the month. That inched past the 39.8 million minutes, or 9.6 percent of total time, that Net users spent on all of Google's sites combined, including its search engine, YouTube, Gmail, and Google News, ComScore said Thursday.

For the month, Yahoo proved the third most popular online hangout, with people spending 37.7 million minutes, or 9.1 percent of total time, on Yahoo sites. In July, Facebook slipped past Yahoo in the number of minutes spent online for the first time, noted ComScore.

The latest stats contrast with August 2009 in which Internet users spent less than 5 percent of their time on Facebook, about the same amount on Google sites, and almost 12 percent of their monthly minutes on Yahoo.

ComScore also cited data from August 2007. Back then, Web surfers spent less than 2 percent of their monthly time on Facebook, under 4 percent on Google, and slightly more than 12 percent at Yahoo.

To compile its figures, ComScore relies on feedback from a panel of around 2 million users as well as data captured from various Web sites.

Group brings HDR photo technique to video

A San Francisco team has married two cutting-edge trends: the ethereal look of high dynamic range photography with the relatively new ability to record video on SLR cameras.


HDR combines images taken at multiple exposure levels to better show information that might otherwise be lost in murky shadows or washed out in bright highlights. But the production process can also be used to create an eerie, post-apocalyptic, grunge look, and that's what Soviet Montage Productions did.

The team shot video with two Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras--currently the cat's pajamas when it comes to video SLR. One was set to overexpose the shot by two exposure values, and the other to underexpose by the same amount. The team then made a composite of the two channels showing scenes from San Francisco and posted the HDR video demonstration at Vimeo.

Archos 32 'internet tablet' now shipping for $150, redefining the bounds of 'tablet'


We're still struggling to understand how exactly a device with a 3.2-inch display is considered a "tablet," but at any rate, the Archos 32 is now available for those who'd like to pretend their shiny new PMP is -- in fact -- a tablet. Shortly after we sat down with this here handheld, Archos has managed to get 'em rolling off of the production line, and since you're curious, we'll have you know that $149.99 buys a 0.39-inch thick device with a 3.2-inch touchpanel (400 x 240), Android 2.2, 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, an internal microphone, G-sensor and playback support for nearly every file format under the sun. The battery's good for up to 24 hours when cruising through tunes, but that dwindles to 6 once you fire up those bootleg copies of Family Guy. Still, not bad for a tablet. Right?

Intel to show off Sandy Bridge at IDF next week, AMD counters with Zacate demo nearby


Now this is what you call a juicy standoff. Intel has announced that Paul Otellini will grace the stage at IDF next week with a demo of his company's next-gen CPU/GPU chip, codenamed Sandy Bridge, and not to be outdone, AMD has immediately retorted with plans to put its own Zacate competitor up on display -- at the same time, in the same city, but at a slightly different location. Both Zacate and Sandy Bridge meld general-purpose and graphical processing duties into one slice of silicon, consolidating the traditionally discrete CPU and GPU into a power-efficient do-it-all chip. You'll find details of where AMD's impromptu demo will be taking place after the break, whereas the Intel Developer Forum will probably be discoverable by the masses of bespectacled engineers trudging in its general direction. Boy, San Fran's gonna be one happening place next week!
