Not a domestic goddess then, Angelina? Jolie reveals her six-year-old son Pax is a better cook than her

Angelina Jolie has revealed she is such a bad cook that her six-year-old son Pax is better in the kitchen than she is.

The 35-year-old actress made the admission in the December issue of America's Vogue magazine as she poses on the cover wearing a black corset top covered with a white jacket.


Angelina speaks about various aspects of her home life with partner Brad Pitt and their six children, including how Pax's culinary skills far outweigh her own.

The Tourist actress also says she feels her nine-year-old son Maddox, the first child she adopted, actually raised her, and is incredibly aware of her feelings.

And while Maddox knows his famous mother isn't too skilled in the kitchen, he still tries to encourage her, telling her 'Good job!' when she cooks breakfast.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Taylor Swift CMA Awards 2010 Performance


Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow made her singing debut on the Country Music Association annual awards show, which aired live on ABC Wednesday night.

How well did she do? Well enough to get a standing ovation from the Nashville audience!

Nexus S for T-Mobile gets brief Best Buy Mobile nod: there and gone again


Well, this was rather unexpected. Earlier today, Best Buy Mobile published a humble (if not incomplete) ad for the "Nexus S for T-Mobile," touting both its "pure Google" experience (i.e. vanilla Android) and holiday availability exclusively from Best Buy. It's gone now, saved only by the grace of Google cache. To be honest, all we can do is speculate beyond that. An anonymous tipster to RadioAndroid pegged the Nexus S name late last month and claimed it would feature Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, and a Hummingbird processor. TechCrunch later described a Samsung-borne "Nexus Two" that has since been delayed due to some serious hardware issue. Is this a placeholder from the online devs? Does / did the S stand for Samsung, or something else entirely? And most importantly, is this presumed follow-up to Nexus One actually coming out, or did you just get your hopes up for nothing?

Lindsay Lohan Wants Rehab Pass to Work on Porn Star Biopic

Lindsay Lohan wants her rehab center to let her get cracking on her next film, a biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace called 'Inferno,' even though she won't be released from the facility until Jan. 3, RadarOnline.com reports.

"Lindsay told me that she is working to get a work pass so that she can get out and meet us to discuss the project," director Matthew Wilder tells Radar. "Obviously, she would probably need some kind of monitor and I think that she feels cooped up sometimes, which is understandable."

In the film, Lohan's character is forced into prostitution by her husband, Chuck Traynor. Lohan spoke about the role on-camera in August.

"Lindsay is happy and I have been sending her some films starring several actors that we would like to cast alongside her in our movie," said Wilder, whose producers hope to start filming as soon as possible. "She just received them, so we are still waiting for her feedback but we really want her to be part of the whole experience even although she is not physically here in Los Angeles."

LiLo hasn't starred in a film since 2007's 'I Know Who Killed Me.' She is currently in a sober living facility -- the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California -- upon order of the court after violating her probation in a 2007 DUI case.

On Monday, Matt Lauer asked Lindsay's mother Dina, who spent two weeks in family sessions at the clinic, about her daughter's condition. "Happy, relaxed. She's just a different person," Dina answered. "She's been in a couple facilities, but this one, to me, has really changed her. They get into your psyche and your family and they bring the problem to the surface."

Firefox 4 Beta 7 Is Nearly Complete and Much Speedier


Windows/Mac/Linux: Firefox 4 Beta 7 is out, and it's an impressive preview of the final release. Mozilla has let loose the JaegerMonkey engine, enabled hardware graphics acceleration on Windows and Mac, and integrated Sync and the awesome Panorama/"Tab Candy".

Mozilla says their JaegerMonkey compiler, combined with their other improvements, leaves Firefox 4 with a seriously impressive engine for rendering web pages and interpreting webapps and games. Their chart of three benchmark tests, including their own, shows what looks like some serious improvements, at least over their previous releases (and we can't wait to put them to the test):

'Call of Duty: Black Ops' rakes in $360M on first day


We have a new "biggest entertainment launch in history," according to Activision.

The video game publisher estimates the first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops pulled in $360 million on its opening day in North America and the U.K.

Activision says 5.6 million copies of the highly-anticipated action game were sold. By comparison, last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 -- the previous "biggest entertainment launch in history" -- pulled in $310 million on launch day and sold 4.7 million copies.

"There has never been another entertainment franchise that has set opening day records for two consecutive years and we are on track to outperform last year's five-day global sales record of $550 million," Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement.

And get ready for a lot more Call of Duty in the future. Another title is in the works for 2011, and there are reports Activision is considering a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game based on the universe.

JYJ’s tour in shambles, possible cancellation?


JYJ has been surrounded by a lot of controversy lately due to the sudden cancellations of their Seattle, San Francisco, and Hawaii stops on their ‘JYJ World Tour‘. Now, multiple sources close to the tour have recently come forward to allkpop and have disclosed that preparations for the remaining three stops (New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles) have been nothing short of a free-flowing disaster.

According to these sources, JYJ’s PR team was scheduled to go to the Korean press this morning to announce the cancellation of the entire U.S. leg of their world tour.

The tour was already on the verge of a breakdown, as the shows were already privately called off at two or three different times. Yet somehow, they decided that the show had to limp on, despite the fact that the boys now no longer had venues to perform in.

Barbie Hsu tired of malicious comments, shuts down micro-blog

Taiwan actress Barbie Hsu shut down her micro-blog on Wednesday night, after getting tired of reading the numerous malicious posts about her relationship with new beau Wang Xiao Fei, reported Chinese media.

Responding to posts from some netizens that claim she is a gold-digger and an opportunist for getting engaged to Wang, the son of a wealthy Chinese businesswoman, just 20 days after they first met, Hsu said she did not want to deal with it any longer and would stop micro-blogging.

"Every person I have known and fallen in love with was not informed by media reports or by estimates of their net worth. It would be great if love were so simple. I will now close my micro-blog," wrote Hsu in one of her final posts.

"Compared to all the people who have lost their lives due to the fearsome power of rumours, my retirement from micro-blogging is just a small protest against this ridiculous 'collective public trial'," Hsu told reporters, vowing not to update her micro-blog again.

"Next time, those who appear [on the micro-blog account] using my name are imposters."

The demise of the micro-blog was met with an outpouring of sympathy from most of its 3.6 million fans.

Katy Perry models her curves in kinky costumes at spectacular Victoria's Secret show

Katy Perry opened this year's Victoria's Secret fashion show in spectacular style tonight.

The singer pulled out all the stops for her performance, which saw her model two eye-popping outfits from designer Todd Thomas.


With her killer curves and penchant for wearing provocative costumes, Katy certainly seemed a natural fit for the famous lingerie label.

And not to be outdone by the brand's famous 'angels', she took to the catwalk in an incredibly low-cut purple bustier that boasted a big bustle.

She also cavorted around in a yellow PVC covered in pink hearts and thigh-high black boots.

Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley Win Big at CMA Awards

Now that's a party!

Birthday girl Miranda Lambert, a nine-time nominee, had a major night at Wednesday's CMA Awards from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.

She won for top female vocalist and album of the year for Revolution, and her single "The House That Built Me" was honored for both song and video of the year. Keeping the victories close to home, her fiancé, Blake Shelton, won for male vocalist of the year.

After her female vocalist award was announced by country music legend Loretta Lynn, a tearful Lambert said, "The woman that paved the way for all females, ever, in country music is standing here beside me and handed me this award ... I'm going to keep going for the other women in this industry."

In the end, though, the night's top honor went to the show's host, Brad Paisley, who was named entertainer of the year for the first time.

Getting choked up, the singer praised his late grandfather in his speech, thanked his wife for "rescuing me from despair" and paid tribute to country music fans.

"It sounds like a cliché when you say thanks to the fans … [and] I don't even mean mine. You guys are loyal to everyone in this room. It's the most amazing fan base in the world."

Photos: CMA Awards 2010 Red Carpet Fashions

Leggy LeAnn Rimes's rarely seen without her boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, but tonight LeAnn Rimes decided to walk the red carpet alone as she attended the CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennesee.

The singer, who is set to present an award during the ceremony, lead the parade of country cuties in a thigh-skimming green dress that featured sparkling detailing around the neckline.


Taylor Swift also flaunted her long and lean legs with a sweetheart strapless gown that was slashed to the thigh. She teamed the confection with strappy heels and Neil Lane jewels.

Carrie Underwood, who plays hostess at the annual awards show for the third consecutive year, wore a dramatic Talbot Runhof metallic gown.

She joined fellow American Idol star Kellie Pickler, who wore a glittering gold gown, for a quick reunion hug.

Galaxy Tab hitting AT&T on November 21st for a $649 premium? ; Verizon for $600


It's not official but that image above sure as hell looks like an official AT&T training document. AT&T already announced that it would carry the Samsung Galaxy Tab but has been coy with details about launch date, pricing, and custom apps. Now, if the screengrab above can be believed, we know that it'll hit AT&T shops on November 21st for a "HQ recommended" price of $649.99 without contract and featuring the same data plans (250MB for $14.99 per month or 2GB for $25 per month) AT&T offers alongside its $629 16GB WiFi + 3G iPad offering. Right, that's 20 bucks and change more for half the display and $50 more than the base price of Verizon's Galaxy Tab offering. Of course, AT&T will preinstall the Nook eReader and the AT&T Account Manager app for on-device activation and monthly credit refills. Not sure that's worth the premium though. Hold tight to see how this plays out as we should see an official pricing and launch date announcement any day now.

Samsung Galaxy Tab lands on Verizon for $599.99

SETTV taps Rainie Yang and Jerry Yan for Fated to Love You sequel

Nothing is confirmed but the management companies of both actors have been contacted by SETTV. “Fated to Love You” was a massive ratings success for the network back in 2008. They hope to recreate the same magic again with its sequel “醉後決定愛上你 (Drunken to Love You)” next year. As you might have heard already, SETTV has been in a slump (idol drama-wise) for most of this year ever since “Autumn’s Concerto” went off the air.

“Fated to Love You” director Chen Ming Zhang worked on many of the network’s biggest hits including “The Prince Who Turns into a Frog” and “My Lucky Star”. He moved on to direct more hit dramas for the mainland network HunanTV, but is now in hot water after the explosion accident on the set of his latest, “My Date with Spring”. Chen returned to Taiwan after the production team was disassembled. However, he has yet to answer any questions concerning the accident other than updating his blog. SETTV had wanted him to direct the sequel to "Fated" all along, but he originally turned it down due to scheduling conflicts. Now that “Spring” is on hold, he is rumored to be returning to SETTV to direct Drunken to Love You.

Taiwanese program talks about possible lawsuit from SM for issues concerning SNSD


We previously reported on how SNSD fans were in an uproar over an exposé program, which ran on Taiwan’s ’Super Lucky‘ show. The cast members were discussing about how Korean girl groups are supposedly forced to distribute sexual favors, as well as undergo plastic surgery in their efforts to make it to the top. While these issues are in themselves, contentious, the uproar began when the program used photos of SNSD to exemplify their points.

In face of such a backlash, the hosts of ‘Super Lucky’ talked about their viewpoint regarding SM Entertainment’s possible lawsuit live on air.

They stated that they intended to point out issues with the entertainment industry in Asia, and not just South Korea alone. However, some netizens are not satisfied with the manner in which the hosts made their apology. Apparently, the hosts smiled and made jokes throughout their “apology”, and many are criticizing that it seemed insincere and ridiculous.

Fan Bingbing: Silencing the critics


Fan Bingbing has long been known for her beauty, but the actress has shown she is not just a pretty face - she has just won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, making her the youngest Chinese actress to earn the honor.

"Many years ago, people said I am just a pretty woman, a beautiful vase, I said it's OK, but I will be an elegant vase," Fan says.

"I was just pretending to be strong. Now I want to tell everybody that pretty actresses can act, too."

Rain to hold year-end concert, “ADIEU 2010 with Rain”


Rain will hold an end of the year concert on December 31st in Seoul’s Jamsil stadium. This will be the first time in 14 months that the star will host a concert in Korea.

His management company, J. Tune Entertainment, stated on November 11th, “Rain expressed that he wanted to spend the new year with his fans, so we decided to hold a concert. We are not only preparing a performance that showcases his honed skills over the past 5 years, but also an event that he can enjoy with his fans.”

Meanwhile, ticket sales for Rain’s concert, “ADIEU 2010 with Rain,” will be available online through Interpark starting later today.

Lucas Tse to Debut in Film with His Mother


Lucas Tse, the three-year-old son of Hong Kong star couple Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse, is following in his parents' show-business footsteps.

Lucas will join his actress mother in a comedy film provisionally named "The Invaluable Treasure" ("Wu Jia Zhi Bao"), the "West China Metropolis Daily" reports, citing He Shiping, President of the film's investment company, Emei Film Group.

In his acting debut, Lucas will play a child who travels to a small island with his parents and encounters a gang.

Cecilia Cheung plays the boy's mother in the film. Other cast members and the director have yet to be announced.

The film is set for release next summer, He Shiping said.

Born on August 2, 2007, to one of the most sought-after celebrity couples in Chinese show business, Lucas has always been a target of the paparazzi. He made headlines in June at the Shanghai International Film Festival where he appeared with his mother to promote the cartoon version of Stephen Chow's sci-fi comedy "CJ7". The mother-son pair had lent their voices to the movie's theme song.

This May, Cheung gave birth to her second child, a boy named Quintus. Soon afterwards, she launched a high-profile comeback with reportedly sky-high figure contracts for three films, including Raymond Wong's "All's Well, Ends Well".

Lucas's father, Nicholas Tse, appears in the action film "Shaolin" due out in December.

Karen Mok Talks about New Album


As she sinks into a red sofa Karen Mok gracefully raises her slim legs and places one hand on her waist, showing off her trademark wide smile. Being a model is second nature to her, as she poses in the narrow corridor of her record company office, dressed in black jeans and a see-through shirt.

"Is that good? I feel great as long as I'm in heels," giggles the singer-actress.

Best known for her Barbie-doll figure, deep, bewitching voice and changing styles, it's this sort of playful attitude that typifies the petite celebrity.

Mok isn't the kind of star, however, who says yes to everything. For instance, a photographer wanted to take a picture of her in a gray jacket, but she refused.

"You know, the jacket is just for keeping warm and not for photos," she told him.

A very glamorous Emma Watson is reunited with her rather scruffy Harry Potter co-stars

In her stunning one-shoulder dress, perfectly styled hair and bright lip stick, Emma Watson looked undeniably magical.

But while the 20-year-old actress was impeccably turned out, her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were not quite so sartorially charming.

The Harry Potter trio were reunited last night at a glitzy event at Claridge's Hotel in London.



Emma looked elegant in her black number - but Rupert, 22, and Daniel, 21, just played it casual in jeans and T-shirts.

The reception was put on to mark Warner Bros - the studio behind the hit film series - buying up Leavesden Studios in Watford, which was announced earlier this week.

Jennifer Aniston: Show Us Your Boobs Already!

Picture it: Jennifer Aniston stripping down and tripping on some psychedelic drugs.

How much would you pay to see that?

What about just the price of a movie ticket...

We've already heard rumors that Aniston goes topless and smokes pot in Wanderlust, a Judd Apatow-produced fake penis-using comedy in which she and Paul Rudd star as a couple who find themselves living in a hippy-dippy commune.

So will Jen really be flashing her—um—Friends in the film? Here's what Wanderlust costar Malin Akerman tells us:

"I'm not going to botch that rumor," Akerman said yesterday at the announcement of the People's Choice Awards nominations at the London Hotel in West Hollywood.

So maybe?

"There's a very big maybe, yes," she teased.

Akerman also reveals that it's Ms. Aniston will be seen enjoying a much trippier drug than plain ole marijuana in the movie. "It's actually more ayahuasca tripping," she says. "Ayahuasca, that crazy peyote-like drug. So there might be a little crazy sequence in there, yeah."

Do you think it's time for Aniston to go topless? Sound off below.

Bootlace lets you install Froyo on your iPhone without a computer


It may not solve some of the problems involved with actually running Android on an iPhone, but the recently released Bootlace 2.1 application for jailbroken iPhones does at least make the installation process easier than ever. Unfortunately, it only works with the iPhone 2G and 3G at the moment, but it will let you install Android 2.2 (a.k.a Froyo) directly on the device without the need for a computer. Hit up the source link below for the complete installation instructions -- and insert your own joke here about the iPhone running Froyo while your Android phone is still stuck at 2.1.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Shia LeBeouf slide down building in exciting new action scenes for Transformers 3

It looks like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Shia LeBeouf are having a fantastic time on set as they film new action scenes for Transformers 3.

The pair had to crash land and slide down the side of a building yesterday, and looked as if they were having tremendous fun doing so.


But the dangerous stuff was all done by Shia and Rosie's stunt doubles, not the stars themselves.

And Rosie managed once again to look picture perfect as she filmed the dramatic scene.

The Victoria's Secret model turned actress was flawless with not a hair out of place as she and co-star Shia LaBeouf filmed an action-packed scene at Culver City studios in California on Monday.

Witnesses Detail Demi Lovato Drug, Alcohol Use

It hasn't taken long for random people to come forward with unproven allegations, trying to cash in on the recent downfall of Demi Lovato. To wit:

A pair of reports have been published today that charge the 18-year old singer with rampant drug and alcohol use.

First, a Texas college student named Brian Payne tells Life & Style he partied with the star on December 28 and watched her snort cocaine at a mutual friend's house party.

"She was doing line after line like a pro," Payne says. "I just remember her doing it as if she had been doing it for a long time. It didn't seem like something new to her."

An anonymous witness, meanwhile, takes things a step further.

Speaking to Radar Online, this insider says there's video evidence of Demi doing drugs and flipping out, relaying the alleged party incident as follows:

"Demi was belligerent, being slutty and doing coke all over the house. The guy who hosted the party shot multiple videos of this and what I've seen with my eyes, Demi is screaming, 'F**k all of you, I'm famous, I don't care what any of you think of me the whole world loves me.'"

This quote/story clearly sounds like utter BS. But even if the above accusations are true, the overall fact remains: Lovato has many issues, is seeking help and has the full support of her fans around the world.

Bikini-Clad Kim Kardashian Goes Blonde!

Out of this world!

Kim Kardashian goes space-age blonde -- with a wig, that is -- modeling a bikini from her self-designed Divinity collection for Beach Bunny Swimwear.

If the 30-year-old star's look seems familiar, it is!

Kardashian explained on her blog: "My Divinity Collection was inspired by Jane Fonda in the movie Barbarella, where she plays a super-sci-fi-sexy Queen of the Galaxy."

Now 72, Oscar-winner Fonda starred in the campy 1968 classic.

No Streaming for You: Every Major Network Site Blocks Google TV


Fox has decided to join the big broadcaster blockade of Google TV, blocking it from accessing its website to stream video content.

Now, if you go to any major broadcaster's website—ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox—to stream episodes of Lost or 30 Rock or whatever, instead you'll get a big fat error message, keeping your Google TV away from the video goodness within. The networks don't want the line between television and online content to be blurred too much—for one thing, online content pulls in a lot less ad revenue, so if you're going to watch stuff on your television, they want you to watch actual broadcasts.

Google's got a lot of negotiating to do to bust this blockade.

Has Rachel Weisz fallen head over heels for James Bond? Actress linked with Daniel Craig after split from partner

There aren’t many women who can resist the magnetic charm of James Bond. And it seems Rachel Weisz may be the latest to fall under the spell.

The British actress is said to be smitten with Daniel Craig, who has played 007 in the latest two films, after splitting with her long-term partner, director Darren Aronofsky.


Miss Weisz, 40, is believed to have grown close to Craig while they played husband and wife in forthcoming thriller Dream House.

Jast night, a source said the actress was ‘head over heels’ for Craig, 42, who is engaged to producer Satsuki Mitchell.

A close source said: ‘Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada. They have great chemistry.

‘Darren’s such a good and responsible man, but Daniel’s the opposite extreme, he’s brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart, they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions.’

Taylor Swift and country music dominate this week's Billboard 200 albums chart

Taylor Swift and two of her country peers top the Billboard 200 albums chart this week. Swift’s Speak Now again reigns supreme. In its second week it experienced a substantial but expected drop off from its one million copy debut, selling 320,000 albums. Jason Aldean‘s My Kinda Party opens at No. 2 with 193,000 records sold. While Sugarland‘s once No. 1 The Incredible Machine drops one spot to No. 3 with 60,000 sets moved. The last time a trio of country stars led the chart was November 10, 2007, when Carrie Underwood’s Carnival Ride, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Raising Sand, and Gary Allan’s Living Hard topped the competition.

Brad Paisley joins the three country stars in the top 10 this week as well. His greatest hits set, Hits Alive debuts at No. 9, selling 31,000 albums. Check out the list of the Billboard 200′s top 10 below.

Symbian still on top, but Android catching up

Android captured the second-highest global market share of all smartphone operating systems in the third quarter, according to data released today by Gartner.

Driven by its year-long surge, Google's mobile OS took home a 25.5 percent share of the global market, jumping from just 3.5 percent a year ago. Though still on top, Nokia's Symbian continued to lose ground with a 36.6 chunk of the market, down from 44.6 percent in the year-ago quarter.



Android phones have taken off in part because they can hit different consumer segments, says Gartner. Samsung has done well with high-end phones like the Galaxy S. But lower-priced models are also proving popular as evidenced by ZTE's recent launch of a low-cost Android phone available in the U.K. as a prepaid package. Google is also trying to keep Android moving along by quickly releasing updates, with each one bringing in new features, some innovation, and a bit of polish to the operating system, according to Gartner.

Samsung Galaxy Tab fulfills its destiny, now available on T-Mobile for $399


Nothing unforeseen here, folks, just a friendly reminder that Samsung's Galaxy Tab has kept to its release schedule and is now available to purchase from T-Mobile USA. $399 gets you the 7-inch Tab plus a two-year contract with the American arm of Deutsche Telekom, or you can pay the full $599 and make off with just the tablet itself. Or you can even wait an extra day for Verizon to start dishing Android slates your way as well -- the choice, as always, is yours. Just try not to think about that gorgeous 7-inch Super AMOLED panel that Samsung's busy showing off in Japan right now.

Sprint ZTE Peel Turns Your iPod Touch Into the Pseudo-iPhone It's Always Wanted to Be


Our first thought when we got ahold of a MiFi: Why not build this into an iPod touch case? All the benefits of the iPhone, minus AT&T's horrible service. That's Sprint's ZTE Peel case.

The ZTE Peel is an iPod touch case with a built-in 3G hotspot. It's a little gimped compared to a full-on hotspot, though, and pricier too. It costs $80, only supports two devices at a time, and a piddly 1GB of data runs $30 per month (albeit, contract free). To compare, Sprint's OverDrive with 4G service costs $50, and for $60 a month you get 5GB of data over 3G and unlimited 4G data.

The biggest compromise? It also turns the super skinny iPod touch into kind of a fattie.

Kim Kardashian: 'I Want to Fall in Love'

Kim Kardashian is embracing something she never thought she would: the single life.

The 30-year-old star of E!'s Keeping up with the Kardashians has moved from one long-term relationship to the next since her teens.

"There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship," Kardashian tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story, "and I thought that was the most important thing."

Not anymore. These days the business-savvy star says she feels "powerful" being on her own. While her sisters Kourtney, 31, and Khloé, 26, have focused on motherhood and marriage, Kim says she has surprised even herself by choosing a more career-oriented path.

"Is it weird that I'm now the single one? It's definitely a change for me," she admits. "I have always been the one in a relationship. I like that role, I want that best friend partnership."

Ke$ha Wears a Bikini!

The party don't start 'til Ke$ha walks in...wearing a skimpy bikini!

Hanging out with pals at North Bondi Point beach in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday, the "Tik Tok" singer, 23, doffed her typically glittery, technicolor wardrobe.

For her sunny holiday, Ke$ha (real name: Kesha Rose Sebert) sported a black, two-piece bikini. See more pics of Ke$ha's bikini bod.

The star -- whose new song "We R Who We R" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 last week -- recently sniped at critics who slammed her singing skills.

"I don't have the best body in the world," she told Seventeen mag, "but I know for a fact that I have a really good voice."

Google Gets Feisty, Kicks Data Portability Fight With Facebook Up A Notch

As I’m sure you’ve learned by now, Google recently blocked Facebook API access to download Google contacts. Facebook hacked its way around that, and Google subsequently issued a statement that they were “disappointed”. Facebook Platform engineer Mike Vernal then responded in the comments of one of our blog posts about the slap fight, defending Facebook’s policy and calling it – cough – “consistent”.

And the battle of the Web giants continues.

Take a look at what Google is telling users who would like to download their Gmail contacts’ information and import the data into Facebook (first spotted by Digitizor):

Slim Gingerbread "Anzu" Phone From Sony Ericsson Leaks, Showing 4.3-Inch Screen


It seems we weren't the only ones doubting Sony Ericsson's future. In a poll last month, you guys voted on exactly when the company will die—and the results ain't pretty. Will this super-slim Android-running Anzu save them?

It's been leaked by the Xperia X10 blog, and is rumored to be their next flagship phone (taking over from the Xperia X10). Will it show up with the Xperia moniker later? Quite probably—ANZU is just the codename, for now.

B2ST unleashes ‘Beautiful’ MV teaser


The MV teaser for B2ST’s 4th mini-album title track, ‘Beautiful‘, has just been released!

Earlier on November 9th, the group teased their fans with a video of their album’s intro, ‘Light Go On Again’. With the release of this new MV teaser, fans have given new nicknames for their idol group: ‘Love-dols’ and ‘Boyfriend-dols’.

In contrast to the overflowing masculinity and charisma they showcased in previous performances, the love song ‘Beautiful’ accentuates a softer and more loving side of the members.

Check out the MV teaser below!
