Katy Perry: I'd Rather 'Tease' Than Pose Nude

Katy Perry isn't shy about showing some skin – just don't expect her to bare all.

"I like to play [the sexy] card because it's fun and definitely in my deck, but I like to tease," Perry says in the December issue of British Cosmopolitan. "I'm like a burlesque girl. I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread, but I will be doing a kind of Dita Von Teese style."

Being married to Russell Brand is what, Perry says, makes her feel unconditionally sexy.

"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately," she explains. "I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what."

Adds Perry, "I guess it's a mixture of, 'Hey, I'm 26, and I know these are my prime years and I feel confident,' and being loved-up."

How RIM’s PlayBook Could Have Succeeded

Oh, Research In Motion. You never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

RIM was born in my home town, at my alma mater, so it’s depressing watching their empire rot and crumble before the Android / iPhone onslaught. I had high hopes for their new tablet, a potential game-changer—but alas, they’ve hamstrung it before it’s even been released. Here’s what they should have done with it:

1) Embrace Android (phones)


RIM proudly announced that while their PlayBook can’t connect to cell networks, it can tether to a compatible BlackBerry via Bluetooth. They might as well have installed a ”For BlackBerry Owners Only” startup screen. Way to pre-alienate most of the market, guys.

Instead they should have stressed that they can also connect via Wi-Fi to Android 2.2 phones, and announced an Android app that syncs data between Androids and PlayBooks. They can’t support the iPhone, Apple would never allow it, but Android’s wide open.

Jolin Tsai covers up for love?

How much can one change for love? 4 years ago, Jolin Tsai was criticized by some netizens on her choice of clothing during her concert at Hong Kong‘s Coliseum. This year’s Christmas Eve she would once again be performing there and questions asking if this year’s garments would be as eye-catching, sexy and hot as it was 4 years ago was mentioned at the press conference to which Jolin replied with a laugh, “I would still be showing my good points, for example, calves or… fingers.”

After nearly 4 years, Jolin Tsai is once again performing at the Hong Kong Coliseum and wants to turn the place into one big party on December 24th and 25th. Christmas is one of the most widely celebrated festival among Western people. This would also be Jolin Tsai and her mixed-blood model boyfriend, Vivian Dawson (Kam Wing) first Christmas Eve since they got together. When asked if she would be inviting him to share the joy with her that night, she replied, almost mechanically, “I would be inviting my friends.” In June, she shocked a number of people by appearing as a guest at Jay Chou’s concert for a “Double J” reunion, and could it be expected that there would be a “VJ Dance” during her concert? Jolin Tsai replied “I don’t think so. Currently, there are no arrangements for guests yet.”

JYJ’s Hawaii concert cancelled “due to production issues”


With JYJ’s worldwide showcase tour well underway, it has been reported that JYJ’s stop in Hawaii has unfortunately been cancelled.

According to the official homepage of Entitled Entertainment, JYJ posted an official statement regarding this matter, as they said:

Dear Cherished Cassies,

We regret to inform you that the Hawaii show has been cancelled due to production issues. We are very sorry to our Hawaii fans and are very discouraged, but are trying to stay strong. Our production friends in Hawaii did the best they can to put on the show and did not want to disappoint the fans.

Katherine Heigl's beautiful daughter makes her cover girl modelling debut

That's definitely one for the family album.

Katherine Heigl's beautiful adopted daughter, Naleigh makes her modelling debut on the cover of the December issue of W magazine's family issue.

In the stunning front cover picture, Heigl channels old Hollywood glamour with her long blonde hair in soft waves and a strapless black gown.



Heigl lovingly cradles the gorgeous little girl in her arms, wrapped in some white frilly netting.

Heigl adopted Naleigh, who was born in South korea with congenital heart problems that were later corrected through surgery, just 'three or four days' before she started work on Life As we Know It.

'I was about to play a woman who inherits a baby, and I was experiencing the exact same thing,' she said in an interview with the magazine.

Googler Accuses Twitter Engineer Of Sexual Assault, Trial By Twitter Commences

Google technical writer Noirin Shirley wrote a post on her personal blog earlier this evening entitled “A hell of a time,” describing her experiences last night at ApacheCon in Atlanta. Shirley recounts a drunken post-conference party she organized in her hotel room and describes a rather disturbing (if true) interaction with Twitter engineer Florian Leibert:

“He brought me in to the snug, and sat up on a stool. He grabbed me, pulled me in to him, and kissed me. I tried to push him off, and told him I wasn’t interested (I may have been less eloquent, but I don’t think I was less clear). He responded by jamming his hand into my underwear and fumbling.”

With such incendiary subject matter it is no surprise that the post rose to the top of Hacker News in a matter of hours. What’s even more interesting is that the accusations have reverberated on Quora and Twitter with people @ replying both Leibert and Shirley with Shirley’s post.

“It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me, at all. It’s not the first time it’s happened to me at a tech conference. But it is the first time I’ve spoken out about it in this way, because I’m tired of the sense that some idiot can ruin my day and never have to answer for it.”

"I will watch over you forever." Aaron Kwok moved to tears?


To commemorate 20 years of being in showbiz, Aaron Kwok took time off from his busy schedule and flew to Taiwan for a day to celebrate his 20th year anniversary with his fans. This event attracted more than 2,000 fans registering since Aaron Kwok has not hold a large-scale fan meet for nearly 10 years. However, due to limited space, he only could spend it with 400 lucky fans.

During the event, the things done by his fans touched Aaron Kwok as every single one of his fans wore a specially designed T-Shirt to commemorate his 20th year anniversary, sang the song "Endless Love For You" dedicating it to him and even sang a birthday song for him. When it was time to present the gifts, one fan even said that she would watch over him forever, nearly causing Aaron Kwok to tear.

Aaron Kwok said, “Taiwan really is my lucky place, it is also the place I became famous, even though I can’t come here often, but the support given to me from loyal fans have not changed one bit in 20 years, they even gave me such a sincere promise as a gift, to receive something so valuable, I‘m really touched and satisfied.”

Seungri exaggerated dramatically about his height?


A picture of Big Bang’s Seungri standing beside actress Goo Hye Sun was uploaded onto a community site on November 6th, and has caused Seungri some embarrassment.

The two appeared on SBS’s “Lee Hana’s Peppermint” last year, and in the picture, it appears that Seungri is around the same height as the actress. The post stated, “How disappointing. His profile says that he’s 177, but he lied and added 14cm to his height.”

Goo Hye Sun is reported to be 163cm in her profile.

Miley Cyrus dons leather and downs beer as she and Liam Hemsworth split (again)

Her style has become increasingly adult and risque over the past few years, despite the fact that she is still just a teenager.

But Miley Cyrus showed no sign of toning down her adult style as she partied in Madrid last night.


Wearing a cream lace shirt, tight black leather trousers and an Indian bindi, the Disney star was surrounded by male admirers as she was spotted downing a bottle of Corona beer.

While that would be illegal in the U.S. it is turned a blind eye to in Spain where the legal age for drinking is 18.

Taylor Swift: I Adore Justin Bieber!

Justin Bieber might be dating Selena Gomez.

But if things don't work out between those two, an even more successful artist has made it clear: she has Bieber Fever.



“I adore [Justin Bieber]," Taylor Swift says in the latest issue of Allure. He’s sweet and awesome... I’ll join his fan club.”

Of course, Bieber might wanna be careful because Taylor admits in the same interview that she often puts a quick end to dating arrangements:

“I have a phobia about being in the wrong relationship, so as soon as I establish it’s not the right one, I don’t want to waste their time.”

T-Mobile myTouch 4G review


Coming hot on the heels of the ultra-impressive G2, T-Mobile has returned to its myTouch series with the myTouch 4G. While the G2 is the natural enthusiast flagship, the 4G represents a flagship in its own right of a skinned, curated Android experience. If the G2 is the Droid 2 killer, T-Mobile probably sees the myTouch as the iPhone 4 killer (even the name has a similarity to the popular "iTouch" misnomer, and the 4G / 4 mirrors T-Mobile's matchy matchy naming sense with the myTouch 3G / iPhone 3G... we're just saying, is all). So, what does that mean in practice? Some impressive functionality inside and out, including a front facing camera for video calls, HSPA+ network speeds, and WiFi Calling. How does it all play out in the real world? Let's find out.

Google Nexus Two delayed because of hardware issue

The mythical Google Nexus Two, that Google originally said won’t exist, that Samsung will or will not manufacture, is back in the center of the rumor mill.

Today’s bit comes from TechCrunch, who seem to be sure that this phone will exist, and will be made by Samsung. No one is very serious about it being called Nexus Two anymore, which is probably for the best. It does however seem entirely possible that Samsung are working on a ‘Google experience’ phone, as in a phone with Android Gingerbread as Google intended it, sans TouchWiz nonsense or any other ‘OEM customizations’.

There’s a problem though. Apparently the phone, which was originally supposed to be launched on November 11 (but not on November 8 as previously rumored), has had a serious hardware issue all along that has only been discovered late in the testing stage. And the smartphone is now delayed until that issue is fixed.

So it looks like we’re going to have to take a few more weeks of rumors before we find out how real all of this is.

Selina's Lost Soul Moans Through Nightmares At Night

Selina's injuries up until today, doesn't sleep well at night, Patty Hou left her encouragement messages on the blog.

Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez Call It Quits

Another couple bites the dust. Mega-movie star Cameron Diaz is no longer dating baseball great Alex Rodriguez, Life & Style reports. The two started dating in February though neither ever actually confirmed their romance to the press.

"Cameron and A-Rod are no longer dating and have definitely parted ways," a source tells Life & Style. "He just doesn't like her anymore. That's honestly the reason they split."

Rumors of a break-up started late in October when Diaz was spotted leaving a club in London with a man that wasn't her rumored beau. And just a few days later, she was caught in Los Angeles with 'Glee' star Matthew Morrison.

Diaz wasn't the only one partying recently--A-Rod was seen in Las Vegas on October 28 without the blonde movie star by his side. "A-Rod got a table at Haze night and a huge group of Romanian models happened to be at the very next table," an eyewitness tells Life & Style. "A-Rod was chatting up a storm with the girls and spent the night hanging out with them."

The couple was first seen together in February flirting at a Miami party the night before the Super Bowl. Since then, they've been seen together at several NYC hot spots and Diaz has been photographed outside Rodriguez's apartment. They were last seen together in September.

Dell XPS 14 review


When Dell told us of its plans to revive its tried and true XPS laptop line we were pretty darn excited. With so much brand dilution in the past few years -- there's been the Adamo XPS and the Studio XPS -- the products have noticeably strayed from providing the rock solid gaming and multimedia experience they were once known for. There's a reason XPS stands for Xtreme Performance System, right?! The new line, which includes 14-, 15-, 17-inch systems, has all the ingredients to set it back on track -- including Core i5 / i7 processors, NVIDIA GeForce 400M graphics with Optimus, JBL speakers, a backlit keyboard, an HD webcam and a solid aluminum lid – but has Dell succeeded in creating a well-rounded multimedia machine? And does it rival our oh-so-adored HP Envy line? We've spent the last week using the more mobile $899 XPS 14, so read on to find out in our full review!

A Video Game That Dares To Make Americans Angry


I have little animosity for the virtual people I shoot in video games. They are cardboard targets. The worst they can do is kill the virtual me. My "death" lasts a few seconds. I can't hate them for that.

This changed last week.

I played the beginning of the upcoming first-person shooter Homefront and I felt a burning urge in the game to do right with the trigger of a virtual gun. Homefront is set in a near-future United States that has become occupied by a bellicose unified Korea.

Gillian Chung Hints Ronald Cheng Cheated

Lately it is reported Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) and Ronald Cheng are not legally divorced yet because Ronald wanted to get back with his ex. The report seems to blame the divorce to Ah Sa. As for the incident, Ah Sa's good sister Gillian Chung (Ah Gill) and manager Mani Fok commented on Weibo to speak for Ah Sa.

"No need to get mad, facts speak louder than words!," Mani wrote.

Then Ah Gill commented later. "You did what you can for the good of you both by not telling the reason for the divorce. It's not your fault."

Her comment totally hints Ronald has done something to cause the marriage to fall apart. Knowing she said something she should not said, Ah Gill immediately removed the comment from Weibo.

Yesterday she appeared at Metro radio and she expressed she does not want to talk about the incident anymore. "I just don't think it's fair for Ah Sa, that's it," she said, "You can't trust everything others said."

She denied Ah Sa told her to remove her initial comment and it is just she wants to avoid troubles.

Ah Sa and Ronald announced their divorce in March this year, stating it will be better for them both. They secretly got married in 2006 and had been hiding their marriage since then until a magazine exposed it all.

Unless Pregnant Vivian Will Not Sign Relationship Contract

Artist Vivian Hsu said today, she won’t be like Big S having a flash engagement, where love needs to have a contract (meaning wedding certificate) is really strange, it’s fine when two people have an agreement together, it’s not necessary to must have a contract, except if there’s a child, the child needs to have security then I will sign it.

Today Vivian went to Shen Chun Hua’s program to promote the new film “Juliet”. The already 35 year old Vivian admitted that there are no potentials yet. She said there’s no way of putting her heart down to hold a relationship, even though not deliberately, but she has yet to have met someone where she can go have a good relationship.

Vivian said the only one relationship that was public was with the Japanese guitarist, since she is a public figure; you have to respect the other’s thoughts. She said, once the relationship is exposed it will be the topic of meal conversations, even if you’re working hard, the main focus will be transferred over.

In “Juliet” Vivian plays a character that bravely chased love, is that the same for her in real life? Vivian laughed “I am! Bravely chasing my love for the stage.” Will she be like Big S having a flash engagement? Vivian firmly said, “I just won’t sign the contract, and will not annoy myself with future situations where they have not happened yet.”

Is Taylor Lautner Dating Lily Collins?


You snooze, you lose, Swifty! Is this button-nosed brunette Taylor Lautner’s new girlfriend?

You may be looking at the girl who will undoubtedly inspire a jealous fury among thousands of Twilight fans: Lily Collins, who’s rumored to be dating chiseled teen hunk Taylor Lautner.

Taylor and Lily were introduced on the set of Lautner’s upcoming psychological-thriller Abduction and have been “quietly dating” for about four months, informants say.

Here’s where things get juicy: We hear Lily was dating a stuntman when she and Taylor met, but she couldn’t deny her “strong romantic feelings” for the world’s hunkiest werewolf.

“When the boyfriend got suspicious because Lily didn’t return calls promptly, he hopped a plane and turned up unannounced to confront her,” blabbed the source.

Google Confirms Gmail Speed Issue, Says It’s Now Fixed

Yesterday, we posted about horrible latency issues many Gmail users have been experiencing over the past couple of weeks. When I reached out to Google about the issue a few days ago, they told me that they weren’t aware of anything wrong, but would look into it. Well, those of us who noticed it aren’t crazy. Sure enough, there was an issue, and Google says they have now fixed it.

Google reached out to us today with the following statement:

We recently experienced an issue in one of our datacenters which increased latency for a small percentage of Gmail users (approximately 2%). Issues like this can cause temporary slowness for small fractions of users from time to time. Speed is of utmost importance to us, and we are always working both to prevent these kinds of issues and resolve them as soon as possible.

That sounds about right since, as we said, everyone wasn’t noticing the issue but plenty of users were, and it was only happening some of the time. 2 percent of Gmail’s user base still is about 4 million people.

And before I even got this message from Google, I did notice Gmail running significantly more smoothly this morning. I asked some others on Twitter if they noticed an improvement as well, and it was more of a mixed bag — but plenty who were having problems said they’re now resolved.

As a somewhat humorous sidenote, Google also confirmed that they recently added 2 pixels to the line height of the inbox view of Gmail. This was something I had asked them last week and I think they thought I was crazy. Again, I wasn’t, a UX designer made the change.

How Did Apple Let Kinect Slip Through Its Fingers?


The year is 2008. Inon Beracha, CEO of the company that engineered the brain of what is now Microsoft's shiny Kinect, is trying to find a buyer for the miracle tech. He tried Apple. No dice. Why? It was complicated.

Even two years ago, in its demo form, the PrimeSense sensor that powers Kinect was enormously impressive. So Beracha jetted to Silicon Valley to drum up interest. His first stop? Apple. "It was the most natural place for the technology."

Which makes sense in 2010, given the extent to which Steve Jobs has broadened his vision of button-less computing—a body interface like Kinect's could have been at the fore of Apple's interface vanguard. But Apple's interest in alternative controls didn't trump their tendency to be, well, controlling. Beracha says their meetings were scuttled by Apple's insistence on secrecy (and a mountain of contractual demands and NDAs). Beracha went elsewhere—and now Microsoft has its baby. And they are going to sell a lot of them.

Sammi Cheng and Andy Hui Repressed Love for 3 Months?

Since breaking-up with his girlfriend of three years, Michelle, in July, Andy Hui Chi On became a target of negative press and was labeled a “player in relationships.” Immediately after Andy’s break-up with Michelle, Sammi Cheng Sau Man wrote a thousand-word essay, denying that she was the third party leading up to Andy and Michelle’s break-up. However, Sammi left room in her essay for a possible re-unification with Andy: “If you ask whether in my heart, I have thought about re-uniting with Andy, honestly I have!”

At public events, Sammi and Andy appeared evasive in front of other people due to public press. Privately, Sammi and Andy may have been unable to repress their love for each other. Last month, Sammi and Andy performed at a concert in Shanghai together. Sammi asked her assistant to take photos of Andy and herself hugging together. The photo was not uploaded on her blog and may be for her private enjoyment only. Afterwards, Sammi and Andy continued chatting and did not want to part. Looking at their body language, they shared a deep connection. Perhaps a reunification would happensooner or later!

Pictures of Ady An in tears hugging Wang Xiao Fei revealed, Rumours of triangle love continues.

China Yahoo Entertainment recently published photos of Ady An in tears hugging Wang Xiao Fei during her birthday bash on September 29th. With this, medias have fueled the rumors of a triangle love. Barbie Hsu (Da S) refused to comment while her manager said “this is just a normal picture.”

“I had even hugged Barbie Hsu (Da S) and Shu Qi, it was just too emotional,” replied Ady An. When news of the engagement between Hsu and Wang was revealed, there were rumours circulating that Ady An had in fact admired Wang Xiao Fei for 5 years and now that he is with Barbie Hsu (Da S), Ady An could only drown her sorrows in alcohol. Now with the picture of her hugging Wang revealed, netizens have summarized their relationship isn’t as simple as just friends.

The waiters on that day has reportedly revealed that there wasn’t a lot of interactions between Wang and Hsu, supporting Barbie’s statement that they did not know each other before this. Even though her arm has healed, Barbie was visibly worried about her fighting scenes for her new film <Da Wu Sheng>. Whereas, Vic Chou (Zai Zai), who is filming his movie <Coming Home> just miles away from Barbie, was seen to be diligently continuing filming after the team has revoked Taiwan media’s visiting rights to their location shoot. However, it seems Vic Chou (Zai Zai) isn’t feeling too well as he was continuously seen coughing after filming his scenes.

That's NOT a good look! Blake Lively deliberately wears shirt poking out beneath her sparkly skirt

Since leaping to fame three years ago in U.S show Gossip Girl, Blake Lively has become a regular on the celebrity best dressed lists.

But as she attended the launch of a new boutique in New York last night, it looked like her style mantle may be slipping.


The 23-year-old blonde was wearing a bizarre ensemble of an oversized men's shirt which was so long it actually stuck out from the bottom of her sparkly skirt.

Her quirky casual-meets-glamour outfit was completed with a tan belt - which appeared several sizes too large for her and was tied in an unusual knot at the top of her skirt.

Lively's fashion faux pas came as she attended the launch of the new Realm Boutique in the SoHo district of Manhattan.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston 'Just Go With It' in new trailer

The Farrelly brothers’ Hall Pass clip just hit the webs, and now we’ve got the trailer for Adam Sandler’s new movie Just Go With It. It’s quite the day for middling comedies that land in theaters in February! And serendipitously — or not? — Just Go With It runs in the same vein as Hall Pass. That is to say, both are romance and comedy focused, but not typical rom-coms — they’re both much more of the dude variety.

While Hall Pass features two married men (Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson) getting a free week from matrimony to do whatever they want, Just Go With It focuses on a single guy (Sandler) whose schtick for picking up the ladies is to pretend he’s married, wedding band and all. It’s a tactic that seems to work, until he meets a girl he actually likes (Sports Illustrated swimsuit pinup, Brooklyn Decker), takes off the ring, wines and dines her to great success, and then … she finds the ring. Oops! Which leads Sandler’s character to enlist his friend — played by a frumpy-ish Jennifer Aniston — to act like his soon-to-be ex-wife, to prove he’s not a lowlife. (How would that ever really work? Oh wait, this is Hollywood!) It spirals from there: Aniston gets a slammin’ makeover, a low-brow penis joke unfurls, and the smokin’ hot Decker emerges from the ocean clad in a tiny bikini. Dude-ish dudes are gonna love this trailer! Watch it here:

Developers like iPhone, but here comes Android

Mobile-app developers still cite the iPhone as their platform of choice, but Android is increasingly winning their hearts and minds, according to the results of a survey released today by Millennial Media.

Among the several hundred developers and publishers polled for Millennial Media's "State of the Apps Industry Snapshot," 30 percent said they're currently creating apps for the iPhone, the highest percentage of all mobile platforms. Though Apple's smartphone grabbed the top spot, its popularity is down a bit from last December, when 48 percent of those polled were eyeing the iPhone as their platform of choice.

Android took second place with 23 percent of the developers currently building apps for Google's mobile OS. That figure just barely beat Apple's iPad, which is supported by 21 percent of those polled. Rounding out the top five were Research In Motion, with 12 percent of developers creating apps for the BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile, popular among 6 percent of those surveyed.

The numbers are not mutually exclusive--the survey allowed publishers to check all OS boxes that apply to them. Thus someone who develops applications for both iPhone and Android would be included in both the iPhone and Android slices of the pie chart.

Will Ferrell Tops Forbes' List for Most Overpaid Actors


Will Ferrell climbed his way to the top from the nostalgic glory days of 'SNL' to launching Funny or Die and dominating the box-office with flicks like 'Anchorman,' but according to Forbes Magazine's simple mathematics, the actor isn't pulling the weight of his paycheck anymore. After comparing some of the highest paid actors to their overall box office revenue, Ferrell, along with other huge names like Denzel Washington and Drew Barrymore, are either way overpaid or are choosing really bad movies. Or maybe both. The funny part is that comedians dominate the list, but who else made the cut for having the most-inflated paycheck? Read On:

Will Ferrell

Funny man Ferrell costs a whopping $15 million per movie, but back in 2009, his 'Land of the Lost' only hauled in $69 million despite costing $100 million. Using clever calculation, for every $1 Ferrell made, the studio only made $3.35.

'I don't like being the centre of attention,' says shy girl Jessica Alba as she poses for stunning photoshoot

For someone who's been a successful actress since her teens, Jessica Alba isn't the type of person you'd describe as shy and retiring.

But the actress insists she hates being the centre of attention as she poses in a stunning new photoshoot.


More happy to leave the leading roles to her contemporaries, the 29-year-old is hoping to prove her comedy chops in the latest Meet The Parents sequel Little Fockers.

She tells the new issue of America's Elle magazine: 'I'm shy. I don't like being the centre of attention. But when I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care.'

Mac Pro Server quietly introduced as Xserve heads for the grave, starts at $3,000


Sneaky Apple... real sneaky. Just as the company announced that it would be axing its rack-mountable Xserve come January 31st, in flies an all-new Mac Pro to effectively take its place. The Mac Pro Server -- which is slated to ship in "two to four weeks" -- has joined the fray this morning on Apple's website, with the workstation equipped with a single 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Xeon 'Nehalem' processor, 8GB (4 x 2GB) of DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a pair of 1TB (7200RPM) hard drives, one 18x SuperDrive, ATI's Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of GDDR5 video memory, and a fresh copy of Mac OS X Server (the unlimited-client license version, for those wondering). Curiously enough, this marks the second time Apple has thrown a "server edition" into the mix, with the Mac mini Server popping up in June. As you'd expect, the $2,999 base price can be pushed far north by slapping in a pair of 2.93GHz six-core 'Westmere' chips (a modest $3,475 increase), 32GB of RAM (only an extra $3,400), a Mac Pro RAID card (pocket change at $700) and a quad-channel 4Gb fibre channel PCIe card (just an extra grand). But hey, financing is available!

Jennifer Lopez to Idol Contestants: Don't Try to Sing My Songs

Note to contestants hoping to impress American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez: Don't sing her songs.

"It was cute, super entertaining and flattering, but no," the pop diva says of contestants who failed to make it through auditions by performing one of her hits.

"They know we're not out to cut them down or make a joke of them," she told reporters Thursday at a stop in Los Angeles. "We're trying to mentor them to the next step."

And so far – after visiting seven cities – Lopez says they've found 15 to 20 "real superstars who could be recording artists for sure," adding that the judges have seen "a lot of great country [singers]."

Just like in the show's previous nine seasons, for every potential "superstar" there are dozens of contestants who have to hear bad news from the judges – which can sometimes be heart-wrenching.

"I've cried," Lopez said. "We get a lot of elation when we put them through and devastation, almost, when they're not. But it's been a ball."

Kat Dennings facing “nude” controversy

Kat Dennings is in the center of “attention den” right now after her alleged nude photos surfaced on the internet.

According to reports made by Perez Hilton, THG, and even NY Daily News, there are photos circulating on the internet right now that is seriously NSFW (not safe for work). According to THG, “that actress allegedly tried to send out a couple naked pictures of herself.”

Surprise! Kat Dennings has her own scandal!

Meanwhile, NY Daily News added that “it has not yet been confirmed that Dennings is indeed the person in the naked pics or how they may have leaked.”

And the “notorious” among the three media outlets is Perez Hilton. Perez posted all of the alleged nude photos of Dennings in his “for adults only” website.

Kat Dennings is known for her roles in “The House Bunny,” and “40-Year Old Virgin.”

Sexting is actually “not new” to Hollywood. other stars with similar controversy were Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Greene.

Update: According to Google’s data, Kat Dennings is currently the hottest term being searched by users

Android Gingerbread release date: November 11?

Although it’s been almost two weeks since Google posted a giant Gingerbread man in front of its HQ, the Mountain View company has still not announced when the new version of Android would be available.

However, according to one of IntoMobile’s “trusted sources”, Google will launch the Android Gingerbread (2.3) SDK on November 11.

November 11 is also the date when Verizon (the largest North American carrier) should introduce lots of new Android smartphones – although this may have nothing to do with Gingerbread.

The first Android Gingerbread phone could be the Google Nexus Two, which might be unveiled by Samsung on November 8 (Samsung has reportedly denied this, but it wouldn’t be the first time a company denies something that’s actually true).

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Split – Again

It's been a rough week for Miley Cyrus. As her parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus go through a public divorce, Miley also underwent a quiet split of her own.

Miley, who turns 18 on Nov. 23, is no longer dating her Last Song costar Liam Hemsworth, 20, according to a source. "Their on- and off-again relationship is currently off," says the source. "But you never know with Miley and Liam. They could be back on at some point."

Adds another source close to Hemsworth: "There was no drama. The relationship just ran its course. They were good friends first and remain friends."

The pair met while filming the Last Song in June, 2009. They first split this past August only to rekindle their romance in September.

But lately the two have been living separate lives: Hemsworth has been in Australia, where he hosted the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and has been spending time with his family. Miley is currently in Madrid, preparing to perform at the MTV European Music Awards Sunday.

Kim Kardashian Song “Shake” Leaked To Web [AUDIO]



Filing this one under “Our Daily Ewww!”

The Music World needs a Kim Kardashian album about as much as pop culture needs a Kim Kardashian. Somehow that fact hasn’t stopped the bootylicious socialite from stepping into the booth, picking up a mic, and wobbling all over an uptempo track produced by The Neptunes and The Nightmare The-Dream, the pudgy producer behind radio hits such as “Umbrella” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).”

Hey, it worked for Paris Hilton!

On Thursday, the Auto-Tuned goddess brought us Kim’s first single in the form of a song titled “Shake,” a cringeworthy offering that would make Heidi Montag blush.

Hold onto your eardrums.

“Undercovers” Cancelled

NBC’s freshman espionage drama Undercovers is biting the dust after 13 episodes.

On Thursday, The Peacock pulled the plug on the J.J Abrams-produced series — the leader of its Wednesday night lineup — due to poor ratings, The New York Times reports. Only a lowly 5.8 million viewers tuned in for last week’s show. Undercovers was primetime TV’s first drama to star two Black actors in the lead roles. Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw played married CIA operatives who take on sticky cases around the world while operating a catering business.

Do we have any Undercovers fans in the house? Are you disappointed to see the show go?
