Quick change as Lea Michele goes from sombre black to daring white at Billboard Awards

Her Glee alter ego Rachel Berry goes through several costume changes in the space of one action-packed episode.

And it seems actress Lea Michele was taking a leaf out of her character's book last night.


The 24-year-old arrived at the Billboard Fifth Annual Women in Music Event in New York in a conservative velvet long sleeved dress and skirt before swiftly changing into a daring white Georgio Armani mini dress.

However, the star teamed the same pair of cream heels with each outfit.

She was accompanied to the event by her boyfriend, Broadway star Theo Stockman, as she was presented with the first-ever Billboard 'Triple Threat' Award for her success in acting, dancing and singing.

Best Buy Mobile will offer free smartphones, mostly Android, every day in December


Holiday spirit over in Best Buy land must mean "getting rid of old stock by discounting it." The Droid Incredible and Xperia X10 are among the handsets to be featured in the big retailer's December mobile sale, which will involve offering up four free phones each day (one for each carrier) at a price of $0 upfront and subject to the usual two-year agreement. LG's Optimus T and Optimus S will also get their moment in the spotlight this month, though the discount there isn't exactly massive when you consider that the S started life costing $50 on contract. Speaking of S-branded Android phones, wasn't it Best Buy that first leaked out the next Nexus? Now that'd be a holiday offer worth talking about.

"I'm afraid to go home," says Shu Qi

Taiwanese actress Shu Qi is afraid to go home lately.

Not because she is worried about crazed stalkers but because her family members have stepped up their efforts to set her up with men.

"My family and friends keep arranging matchmaking sessions for me, so much so that I am afraid to go home," said Shu during a promotional event for her new film "If You Are the One 2" on Monday.

"I'm also very afraid of going out for tea with other people. For now, I just don't think there is a need for any matchmaking. Everything is up to fate."

Shu revealed that she had been on so many matchmaking dates that she has devised a cunning plan to handle such sessions – always bring along a friend and introduce any uninteresting dates to her instead.

"If I am suddenly asked to go for a meal [with a prospective suitor] I will bring along a friend who is dying to get married.

"Just recently, one of them hit it off [with her date] after spending an afternoon together," said Shu before admitting with a laugh that she would ditch her friend if she likes her date.

The 34-year-old actress pointed out that she preferred to go on a group vacation with some friends and her prospective suitor to see if any sparks fly between them, instead of going on deliberate matchmaking sessions.

Wayne Lai & Sheren Tang Might Win TV King & Queen Again

TVB's 2010 Anniversary Awards is this Sunday and everyone has been discussing who will be this year's TV King and Queen. Audience voting ended on November 28 and all the votes have been calculated. The "professionals"---heads of 6 TVB department including Virginia Lok, Ho Lai Chun, Tommy Leung, and Catherine Tsang---finally voted yesterday and their votes count as 50% of the voting (20% producers, 30% audience).

According to reliable sources, most of these 6 people voted last year's TV King and Queen Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang. As for audience voting, the top 5 nominations for TV King are (random order): Raymond Lam, Steven Ma, Wayne Lai, Felix Wong, and Moses Chan; top 5 nominations for TV Queen are (random order): Charmaine Sheh, Sheren Tang, Linda Chung, Tavia Yeung, and Jessica Hsuan.

However, there could be still changes. Although Wayne's series "No Regrets" just ended last week with high ratings, but Moses' biggest advantage is that he is TVB's "biological son." His only disadvantage is that his "Can't Buy Me Love" ended a while ago and audience might have forgotten his performance.

Jet Li Practices Tai Chi in New Movie

Kungfu star Jet Li is preparing for his new movie project, a tai chi-themed film that may be directed by Feng Xiaogang, "Information Times" reports.

Li recently visited the old residence of renowned tai chi master Yang Luochan to learn more about the history of the ancient Chinese discipline of meditative movements.

After Li starred as legendary tai chi originator Zhang Sanfeng in the movie "Tai Chi Master" ("Taiji Zhang Sanfeng") 17 years ago, he became very interested in this form of exercise and hoped to spread its concept around the world.

Huayi Brothers, one of China's largest film production companies, will invest in the movie. Director Feng Xiaogang, who last month signed a new contract with Huayi Brothers for five new film projects, could possibly direct the movie with Li.

Filming of the movie will begin in April. The movie is expected to hit cinemas around the Chinese New Year in 2012.

Box office preview: 'Tangled' to seize the reins from 'Deathly Hallows'

The week after Thanksgiving is known for box-office declines comparable to a post-cupcake sugar crash, so it’s going to be pretty dead out there, folks. Only one new movie — the Korean/English-language/filmed in New Zealand/Western/marital-arts epic The Warrior’s Way – is being released wide, while my pick for one of the most brilliantly gutsy movies of the year, Black Swan, is being unveiled in select cities. The box office will likely be dominated by Thanksgiving weekend’s main two courses: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 and Tangled. However, the latter should actually overtake Deathly Hallows this weekend, for reasons I’ll explain right now. My predictions:

1. Tangled: $24.5 million

Disney’s fairy-tale musical surprised the entire industry by coming within $300,000 of beating Deathly Hallows last holiday weekend. While family films have historically tumbled the week after Thanksgiving, Tangled has been blessed with extraordinary word-of-mouth. CinemaScore audiences gave the animated movie an “A+” grade, the first time a film’s earned that grade since last year’s The Blind Side. In fact, The Blind Side is a perfect comparison point for Tangled. Last year, The Blind Side dropped 50 percent during the week after Thanksgiving — the smallest slip of any wide release — and overtook The Twilight Saga: New Moon to wind up as No. 1 for the first time. Expect a nearly identical drop for Tangled, giving it a $24.5 million weekend and a cumulative tally of nearly $100 million by Sunday night.

Rob and Kristen Make Out on the Beach—Again and Again and Again!

After hearing Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart giggle and flirt their way through the Eclipse commentary yesterday, you Breaking Dawn fans get another sneak treat today.

This time it's one of Robsten filming one of their many make out scenes!

A video hit the web from Edward and Bella's honeymoon in Brazil.

Make out. Stop. Repeat.

That's pretty much how the minute or so clip goes.

And while we love seeing our fave couple go at it, natch, it really does give you an idea of how unromantic filming those kinda scenes can be, no?

All of the strangers standing around, watching, directing...it's just not exactly sexy.

Do you think Robsten's smoochfest is totally hot? Or are you more excited for the semi-real thing when the film comes out next year?

The Version Number Is Dead. Google Barely Whispers The Launch Of Chrome 8

Chrome 8 is here! Chrome 8 is here! The latest greatest version of Chrome! Joyous day, right? Don’t tell Google that. The search giant announced the (stable) launch not on their Google blog, and not even on their Google Chrome blog, but on their Google Chrome Releases blog. And in the post, they devote a whole two sentences to it. The rest is all about bug fixes.

But to those who follow Chrome closely, this shouldn’t be a big surprise. Ever since they shifted their strategy to release a new version of the browser every six weeks or so, the version numbers have become a mere afterthought. Before today’s update, the Chrome stable build was version 7, the beta was version 8, and the dev was version 9. And I’m sure Chromium (the open source browser on which Chrome is built) will hit version 10 shortly.

Back in the day, Google used to give these Chrome launches much pomp and circumstance. Next thing you know, there will just be a tweet about it. Then just a retweet. Then maybe a Plurk update to announce Chrome 14.

Of course, all of this doesn’t mean Chrome 8 is without any new features. Google highlights the built-in PDF viewer as one. The other big one not stated is that it’s likely to be the release that makes the forthcoming Chrome Web Store possible.

And, of course, the latest version is stated to be the fastest and most stable version yet.

Here’s the meat of Google’s Chrome 8 post:

The Chrome team is happy to announce our latest Stable release, 8.0.552.215. In addition to the over 800 bug fixes and stability improvements, Chrome 8 now contains a built in PDF viewer that is secured in Chrome’s sandbox. As always, it also contains our latest security fixes, listed below. This release will also be posted to the Beta Channel.

Chrome 8 is here. Shhhh.

Britney Spears says her new album will drop in March; Fights Back about rumor abused by her boyfriend 'Kiss My A--!'

Britney Spears took to her Twitter feed on her 29th birthday today to announce that her new album will be released this March. Over two posts, the pop star wrote: “My fans mean the world to me & waking up to all of your wishes really made me smile, so here’s something that I hope will make you smile… I’m almost done with my new album and it will be coming out this March.” Oh, also, she is “IN L-O-V-E WITH IT!”

Fights Back about rumor abused by her boyfriend 'Kiss My A--!'

Britney Spears has an eloquent reply for everyone who contributed to the "laughable" story about Jason Trawick smacking her around.

"PS—Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, Ya'll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana ass!" the star tweeted Thursday afternoon, not long after Star opted to firmly stand by its reporting.

Which is interesting, considering she's heading off for a romantic weekend with that supposed jackass boyfriend of hers.

Google Toying With Naming Social Product “Google +1″ As Sergey Brin Gets Involved

Yesterday, after some digging, we were able to confirm that the internal codename for Google’s upcoming social project is “Emerald Sea“. Despite some confusion that it may be called “Emerald City“, it is definitely “Sea”, we’ve confirmed with several sources. But there’s more.

As one of our sources told us yesterday, these codenames quickly evolve. And in fact, it now looks like Emerald Sea may already be a slightly older name. And Google may be close to picking the final name for the product. As of right now, we’re hearing it’s being called “Google +1″ or “Google Plus One”.

Our source on this wasn’t sure if this will end up being the final name, but it is definitely the one they’re using internally right now with the thought that it could be the final name. The “Plus One” name apparently is derived from some of the functionality of the project. In this case, you could think of ”+1″ as being Google’s version of the “Like” or “Retweet”. It also speaks to the the fact that you’re not doing something alone on the web. It’s social, get it?

Another source suggests another possible name Google is considering: “@Google” or “At Google”. Yes, that would seem to be a total Twitter rip-off, but several other social services have since adopted the @reply syntax since Twitter made it popular a few years ago.

Johnny Depp Reveals Why He Hasn't Married Longtime Girlfriend Vanessa Paradis

Johnny Depp and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have been a couple for more than 12 years and have two children--but marriage isn't happening anytime soon. The critically acclaimed actor reveals to Extra why they haven't tied the knot.

"I never found myself needing that piece of paper," Depp confessed. "Marriage is really from soul to soul, heart to heart. You don't need somebody to say, okay you're married... If Vanessa wanted to get hitched, why not... But the thing is, I'd be so scared of ruining her last name. She's got such a good last name."

The actor also revealed his holiday plans with Paradis and his kids, Lily-Rose Melody, 11, and John Christopher, 8: "Sleeping, sleeping and playing with a lot of toys with my son. Hanging out with the kiddies."

He concluded the interview by talking about Angelina Jolie, his co-star in the upcoming flick, 'The Tourist.' "She's just a regular gal... with a perverse sense of humor. She's got a vivid and energetic sense of humor. She doesn't mind traveling to the dark or to the very weird."

Verizon LTE Speed Test: Insanely Fast


Verizon's first LTE dongle is startlingly large. But not as startling as the speed.

These results are spot tests from all across the country: New York (Gizmodo & Engadget), Seattle (MSNBC.com), Philadelphia (GigaOM), Arizona (SlashGear) and Boston (NetworkWorld). And they paint a pretty remarkable picture. Most of the "slow" results—around 7-9Mbps downstream—are with a mere two bars of signal. MSNBC.com's crazy, fiber-fast speeds? Totally legit, Verizon told MSNBC.com super editor and Coors Light fanboy Wilson Rothman.

Our own results are from deep within Gizmodo HQ in SoHo in downtown Manhattan, the average of five speed tests. By comparison, our WiMax dongle from the same spot averaged a mere 2.7Mbps downstream and 2.8Mbps upstream, and the strength of the signal seemed a little shakier. LTE is the real deal—right now anyway, while there's nobody but lucky tech journos stealing all the internets. We'll have to see how well it holds up as more people pile on, but the initial results are stunning, to say the least.

The experience of getting it set up is a little less fabulous. It's Windows-only for now (changing soon, hopefully!), and Verizon's Access Manager is a terrible little piece of software which isn't even bundled on the dongle. The dongle itself is wide and bulbous, a return to the USB dongles of three years ago that eat up gobs of real estate on the side of your PC. (The Clearwire WiMax dongle is a classy affair by comparison, a metallic circle, drivers all neatly bundled.) Dear lord, we can't wait until there's an LTE MiFi card.

In the meantime, just be amazed at these speeds, finally available in America. Whether you wanna call it 4G or not, the bottom line is that it's damn fast.

Coldplay “Christmas Lights” Music VIDEO



The video for Coldplay’s much-anticipated holiday song, “Christmas Lights,” has premiered! The track is now available for digital download on iTunes!

Is Miley Cyrus' Nude Photo the Real Deal?

Miley Cyrus may be taking the message of her recent hit, 'Can't Be Tamed,' to heart, or so some media outlets would have you believe. Hot on the tail of racy photos of the teen queen getting intimate with a boy at her 18th birthday bash, rumors are swirling that Cyrus has bared it all on camera -- and reportedly, there's proof.

A number of sites are reporting that a nude photo, allegedly of Cyrus, taken on her iPhone, is making the rounds online. However, the photo, which does not show the woman's face, has been labeled a fake by Gossip Cop.

The woman in the photo, who appears nude except for an open flannel shirt resembling one worn by Miley, seems to have a different body type than the 'Hannah Montana' star, as well as having a few key markers missing from her look.

Conspicuously absent in the photo is Miley's under-breast tattoo, reading "Just Breathe," which can be seen in a number of red-carpet photographs of the star.

While Miley's no stranger to photo scandals, this one doesn't seem like the real deal. Gossip Cop reports that Cyrus' reps not only deny there being nude photos of the star, but are considering legal action.

MeeGo-based Intel Atom phone and tablet spotted from Russia with love


First the 2018 World Cup and now this. An Intel press event in Moscow was reportedly the site of some new MeeGo device reveals. Mail.ru's Anton Spiridonov was on hand and managed to spot Intel Atom-based phone the Hi/Lo Vibrant (we haven't heard of the company, either) and a tablet of some sort, both equipped with the Linux-based OS. Not much else is known save for what appears to be a 5 megapixel camera labeled as such on the back. More pics below.

Value of a prime TV episode to Netflix: $100,000?

Netflix is willing to pay big bucks to offer current prime-time TV shows to subscribers of its streaming service, according to a published report.

The Web's top video rental service is offering to pay as much as $100,000 per episode for in-season TV shows, the New York Post reported today. In recent weeks, Netflix has signaled that it will wants to build out the company's library of streaming TV shows.

In the race to deliver movies and TV shows over the Internet, Netflix is far out in front. But the company's burgeoning streaming-video service could stumble, if it fails to provide enough of the kind of films and shows that viewers want.

In an interview with CNET last month, Ted Sarandos, Netflix's content chief, said some in the TV production world see Netflix as a way to overcome a growing problem.

Costs of producing dramatic serials are going up at a time when sales of box sets featuring past seasons are falling. In syndication, reruns of serials fare poorly because people hate to fall behind when they miss an episode, Sarandos said. Shows with more adult themes are also hard to pitch in syndication. With Netflix, show producers don't have to worry about that.

There's nothing certain about Netflix getting new TV shows. Within many of the studios and networks, there's a debate going on about whether they should limit the amount of content they license to Netflix, insiders told CNET. The big question is whether the content creators risk undermining cable pay-TV services, which generally pay them more than Netflix, and whether their agreements may be enabling Netflix to get too big.

On Hollywood's periphery, Netflix continues to license movies from independent studios. The company announced a multiyear licensing agreement with FilmDistrict, co-founded by one of the producers of "The Departed" and "Aviator."

Christina Aguilera: Why I Filed for Divorce

Christina Aguilera remembers vividly how she felt as she signed the papers in her divorce from music exec Jordan Bratman.

"Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me, I knew I had to end it," the Burlesque star, 29, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "I really didn't want to hurt Jordan, and I felt torn about splitting our family up."

The decision to end her marriage of five years was not easy for Aguilera, but she strongly felt she had to do what she thought best for her and Jordan's 2-year-old son.

"When you're unhappy in your marriage, your children are the ones who suffer," says the Grammy-winning pop singer, whose own parents' tumultuous relationship led to divorce when she was 7. "That's the last thing I wanted for my son."

Since filing for divorce, Aguilera has been out in Los Angeles and New York City with a new man, Matthew Rutler, a set assistant on Burlesque.

"He's the kind of person you could spend hours with on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it's daylight," she says.

Angelina Jolie Fires Back After Being Called "Ignorant"

Angelina Jolie is firing back at critics of her directorial debut who say the film is merely a tale about a Bosnian woman who falls for a Serb man who rapes her.

On Monday, a victims group from the war sent a letter to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees saying Jolie, 35, has an “ignorant attitude towards victims” and should be stripped of her ambassador title.

While promoting her new thriller The Tourist in Paris, Jolie said she didn't mean to ignite any controversy.

"There's one person who has a gripe," she said, adding that 95 percent of the film's cast had lived through the war, according to Reuters. "The absolute majority of the people, population, the cast, prime minister, president have been extremely supportive."

The best way to describe the still-untitled film?

A love story between a Serbian man and a Bosnian Muslim woman on the eve of the 1992-95 war in which 100,000 people died, she said.

She said she wants war victims to hold judgment until they have seen her film in which she said "there are many twists in the plot that address the sensitive nature of the relationship between the main characters."

Android Gingerbread officially teases you in Google's voice search video tutorial


Sure, we've already gorged ourselves on plenty of Gingerbread by way of Mr. Blurrycam and even Eric Schmidt himself, but it's only now that Google's officially (or accidentally) given us a tour around the next Android release. In a recent voice search video tutorial from Google Hong Kong, eagle-eyed peeps have spotted many tell-tale signs of Gingerbread on what appears to be a Nexus One. As you can see above, said firmware sports the previously-seen black status tray with its new icons, along with a subtly tweaked launcher bar at the bottom of the home screen. A quick peek in Settings also reveals the restyled buttons, as well as a new tab called "Related" in Market's app description page. Help yourself to some more spicy goodness before it's too late -- the video's right after the break (from 0:47).

Perception: An iPad Is Worth More Than a Galaxy Tab

As I believe Descartes once said, “I think, therefore I think I’ll buy an iPad.” What he was really saying, when you get past all the intellectual mumbo-jumbo, is that what we perceive is far more important than reality. I, for example, perceive the McRib to be a valuable foodstuff and I hunt it down yearly when it is available. In reality it is poison.

To wit: Pipar Jaffery’s own Gene Munster performed a survey, showing 65 consumers an iPad and a Galaxy Tab. He asked them how much they thought each of them cost as well as their preference. The results were interesting.

First, the respondents found that the iPad was overwhelmingly preferable to the Galaxy Tab and that the iPad was “worth” $417 (real price $629) while the Gal Tab was “worth” $283 (real price $599). What the folks were saying was that the iPad “felt” expensive while the Gal Tab “felt” cheap, although, in reality, the market has priced them at approximately the same point.

2NE1 unveils their MV for “Don’t Stop The Music”!

Selina Jen hopes to return home this Chinese New Year

The Taiwanese pop star is on the fast track of recovery.

It has been 42 days since Selina and co-star Ham Yu suffered burns due to an on-set accident. The road to recovery had been long and tedious. To keep Selina's anxious fans updated on her condition, Father Jen constantly updates his Weibo with the latest on-goings.

To manage the pain from having her dressings changed, the singer had been previously put on anaesthetic. This affected the use of her lungs significantly. To prevent a lung infection, her doctor has put Selina on breathing exercises with a "tri-flow exercise", apart from her usual pronunciation exercises. The exercise required Selina to lift a tiny ball in a pipe by taking in deep breaths of air, which helps to improve her vital capacity. Instead of the usual 60 times per day, Selina was required to do it 600 times.

Father Jen expressed that he would be watching Selina's progress carefully and mentioned that his daughter is slowly forgetting the incident as she goes through therapy.

According to sources, Selina is still unable to return to stage. However it is possible for her to leave the hospital this coming Chinese New Year, prompting a reunion with her parents, younger sister and fiancé.

In another report, a spokesperson for Ham Yu said there is a possibility of the actor turning up for the countdown event in Guangzhou, if he recovers in time.

TVXQ announces their first single of 2011 for Japan


When it was announced by Avex that TVXQ was going to continue as a unit, there were mixed reactions. There were those who refused to believe that the group was still ‘TVXQ’ because there were only two members left. Many drew reassurance in seeing how the official image on the Avex website still displayed the original five.

Unfortunately, the reality isn’t so neat.

It was announced that TVXQ will be releasing their first single as a two-member unit on January 26th, 2011. While details regarding the title have yet to be released, what is known is that there will be two versions available.

The ‘First Press Limited Edition’ will include two title tracks, as well as two different versions of the songs. A DVD with the title track’s PV and ‘off shoot movie’ will also be included in the package. Only the first press album will have a different jacket, utilizing 1 of 6 random photos. This CD+DVD unit has been priced at ¥1,890 ($22.50 USD).

The ‘Normal Edition’ will include the two title tracks, a remix of the main track, and two different versions of the songs. As an added bonus, the ‘first press’ of this version will have an alternative jacket (1 of 6 photos) and a 12-page booklet. This version will only cost fans ¥1,050 ($12.50 USD).

Title and extras are subject to change, so stay tuned for further updates!

Ann Ward Named America's Next Top Model


This absolutely epic, historic, life-altering cycle 15 finale of America's Next Top Model aired last night.

As over-hyped by Tyra Banks ("Do you understand how serious this is?" she asked. "This is Top Model – elevated."), the concluding episode pitted Ann against Chelsey, as the women competed to earn a spread in Italian Vogue.

In the end, the woman who dominated from the beginning - winning five back-to-back photo challenges - was crowned the season's champion. Our congratulations go out to 19-year old Ann Ward!

"I'm so happy that I can make my parents proud," said the 6'2" model, who endured many taunts about her size and gangly figure. "I won! I can't believe any of this right now."

Can you? Did Ann deserve the title? Visit our friends at TV Fanatic for a far more detailed recap of the America's Next Top Model finale.

Apple Patent Application Suggests Pop-Up Radial Menus Could be Included in iOS 5

We’ve already seen a couple of different patents from Apple this week, and it doesn’t look like the Cupertino-based company is slowing down any time soon. This time around, Apple is focusing on creative aspects and tweaks for their iOS mobile Operating System, which is used every day on devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad tablet device. While the overall look and feel of iOS hasn’t changed much since its inception in 2007, it looks like Apple is looking at adding some interesting changes to the software. Namely, pop-up radial menus for use in the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone.



In this new patent application, Apple is looking at adding radial menus that pop-up when activated. For example, by long-pressing on, say, a picture, would activate a pop-up radial menu that would bring relevant options to the fore, so that the user can activate them quickly and easily. There’s obviously nothing final about this, as it’s just a patent application on the technology that Apple wants to use, as well as the implementation of the technology on a touchscreen display.

RIM Acquires Interface Wizards The Astonishing Tribe


Well isn't this interesting. Today, RIM announced its acquisition of The Astonishing Tribe, the interface gurus who helped shape Android's look in its early stages. Yup, the BlackBerrys of the future just got a whole lot prettier.

In a brief post on the company's official blog, RIM CTO David Yach said he was "excited that the TAT team will be joining RIM and bringing their talent to the BlackBerry PlayBook and smartphone platforms." And if you've seen TAT's vision for how our various screens—like those on our phones and our tablets—might interact with each other in the near future, you're probably excited too. This is excellent news for whatever new OS RIM has on the horizon.

SISTAR unleashes ‘How Dare You’ MV


Having been set for a comeback last week, SISTAR had to delay their comeback promotions for a week due to the Yeongpyeong Island shelling by North Korea.

In addition to that setback, SISTAR also faced scrutiny over their pole dance, having their concept photos leaked, and also failing a review by KBS for its title song lyrics and music video.

Regardless, the SISTAR girls will finally be going ahead with their promotions finally from this week despite all that, and it looks like they have another gem of a song once more!

Check out their ‘How Dare You‘ music video below!

"Absolute Boyfriend" filming on absolute hold as Wu Chun joins Da S and Hangeng for action flick "Da Wu Sheng"


With much fanfare given to Fahrenheit member Wu Chun pairing up with Korean actress Goo Hye-sun for GTV's live action adaptation of Absolute Boyfriend, it looks like fans of this dream idol pairing will have to wait it out for quite some time until the duo's anticipated small screen debut. That's because filming for Absolute has recently been suspended in Taiwan due to Wu Chun filming for martial arts flick Da Wu Sheng in mainland China.

News of Wu Chun filming a new movie since his supporting role in this year's 14 Blades as a handsome pirate-looking bandit has been circulating around for several weeks, but it was not known how Wu Chun's big screen project would interfere with his schedule for his small screen obligations to Absolute until now. Yet the Taiwanese media has already confirmed that Wu Chun will indeed switch out K-drama export Hye-sun for K-pop refugee Han Geng as both Wu Chun and Hangeng will act alongside Barbie Hsu as the leads for next year's Da Wu Sheng.
