'Smallville': Allison Mack Back on The Last Season

I’ve got good news and bad news for fans of Smallville heroine Allison Mack. The actress has opted not to return as a series regular for the show’s 10th and final season. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good: You have not seen the last of Chloe — not by a long shot.

“It’s amazing to think that Chloe Sullivan and I have been one and the same for over a third of my life,” says Mack in an exclusive statement. “I’m truly humbled by the love and loyalty of all the fans whose enthusiasm has carried me — along with a cast and crew that has become my second family — over the past nine and a half years. Out of respect for the amazingly loyal fans and the place I will always have in my own heart for Chloe, I’m coming back for several episodes next season to tie up Chloe’s Smallville legacy properly.

“It’s been a life-changing ride,” Mack concludes, “and I look forward to what lies ahead with the strength of a ‘superhero’ as my foundation.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt “Sad And Depressed” Over Ghost Whisperer Cancellation

JENNIFER Love Hewitt is feeling down in the dumps following the cancellation of her hit TV show The Ghost Whisperer — insiders say.

The show was axed after five seasons as part of a sweep by bosses at CBS.

Jennifer, sources reveal, is feeling depressed about the situation because she likes to throw herself into her work when her love life isn’t going well.

The actress recently split from boyfriend Jamie Kennedy and new reports suggest her latest squeeze, John Asher, is using her for money.

“Jennifer just didn’t see it coming,” a source close to the actress said of the cancellation of Ghost Whisperer.

“That show was her life. She always threw herself into her work when she was feeling down about her love life.

Apple allows cash sales for iPad

When Apple first started selling the iPad, it didn't allow consumers to buy its tablet with cash. The idea, the reasoning went, was that forcing people to buy the iPad with a debit card or credit card would help ensure that no one violated Apple's two-iPads-per-person rule.

But all that has changed. Recently a California woman named Diane Campbell went to an Apple store in the hopes of buying an iPad with greenbacks. She was turned away by the store's employees, who cited the no-cash policy. After she contacted KGO, an ABC television affiliate in California, the news outlet ran a story on her ordeal. After hearing the story, in which Campbell asked Steve Jobs to "give a sister a break," Apple decided to reverse policy and allow cash customers.

"We want to make sure it's as fair as possible for people to get iPads," Ron Johnson, a senior vice president at Apple, told KGO, adding that the company decided to change its policy after hearing Campbell's story. He also had two Apple employees personally deliver an iPad to her house for free.

Android 2.2 SDK goes live, developers likely unable to crash Google's download server



Giving devs access to freshly-announced versions of mobile operating systems on the very same day that they're announced is pretty much the way things work nowadays -- the first version of Windows Phone 7 understandably excepted -- so we're pleased to see that Google's kit for Android 2.2 Froyo is now up and running. You start out by downloading a modest 18-odd megabyte package that just contains tools with no target platforms, then you open a separate app to pull and install only the platforms you want (you can go all the way back to version 1.5, if you're so inclined). So kick off that download now while you grab lunch -- we hear the lobster bisque they're serving in the cafeteria today is pretty good.

Susan Boyle On “Glee?”

Is everyone’s favorite Scottish spinster set for a visit to the halls of McKinley High? Glee creator Ryan Murphy has approached Susan Boyle’s “people” in hopes of snagging the “I Dreamed A Dream” crooner for a guest spot on the Emmy-winning TV musical.

And he already has the perfect role lined up for SuBo if she agrees: “(Susan), I have two words for you: ‘Lunch. Lady.’ I think (the character) Kurt would just die to give her a Christmas makeover. I don’t even know if she’s interested but it’s been pitched,” Murphy told Entertainment Weekly Wednesday.

Justin Frye and Kendra: Exposed!


Now that there's been cold, hard, naked confirmation that a Kendra Wilkinson sex tape exists, readers are bombarding us with two questions:

1. Who leaked the video?
2. Who is the dude in this photo really giving it to Kendra?

The answer, it turns out, is one and the same: Justin Frye.

In 2003, Frye and Wilkinson shared an apartment in San Diego. Shortly after the future Playboy model turned 18, she and Justin filmed the sex tape, which Kendra then left behind when she moved into Hugh Hefner's mansion.

Android 2.2 Froyo gets official

Google has finally announced Android 2.2 Froyo (in the second day of its I/O conference).

Google is presenting the features of Android 2.2 as we speak, but some of them have already been unveiled.


Android 2.2 Froyo comes with Adobe Flash 10.1 support, Microsoft Exchange integration, tethering and portable hotspot capabilities, enhanced voice recognition, and a faster web browser – actually, Google goes as far as saying that Froyo has “the world’s fastest mobile browser.”

Samsung i8920 Omnia HD2 leaked, Symbian^3, 12MP camera, Super AMOLED display?

The unannounced Samsung i8920 Omnia HD2 has just appeared on the Web, almost out of nowhere, and it looks like it’s running Nokia’s brand new Symbian^3 OS.

The i8920 seems to be an improved i8910 Omnia HD. Its rumored features are quite impressive, including: 4 inch Super AMOLED display, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, 12MP autofocus camera with both Xenon and LED flash, HD video recording (720p) at 30fps, and 16/32 GB of internal memory.

The smartphone’s display resolution is not confirmed, but the aspect ratio suggests it’s 640 x 360 pixels. The photo below is reportedly showing the Omnia HD2, although it could be fake (the left side of the screen looks weird):

Google to launch Android Gingerbread in Q4 2010?

While the world is still waiting for Android 2.2 Froyo to be announced, Google is thinking ahead, and it looks like it has already scheduled the release of the next version of Android, codenamed Gingerbread.


According to the folks over at WebM (WebM being “an open, royalty-free, media file format designed for the web”), Android Gingerbread will be released in the fourth quarter of 2010.

AndroidSis has it that Gingerbread is Android OS version 3.0 – however, Google will probably launch one more iteration of the OS before 3.0 and after 2.2. Maybe Android 2.5 or Android 2.6, who knows?

'American Idol': Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox to Duke It Out

In a Surprise to Few, Casey James is Voted Off in Season's Penultimate Episode

In what was a surprise to few "American Idol" observers, Casey James was voted off the show tonight, leaving longtime favorites Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze to battle it out for the ninth season crown. "I'm so thankful for the opportunity and it's been an amazing, amazing journey," James told the audience on his way out. "I'm so honored that I'm here."

The season's penultimate show also featured performances by teen heartthrob Justin Bieber (who Bowersox and DeWyze should perhaps be thankful is not one of the contestants in the finale) and lackluster newcomer Travis Garland, who sang his debut single "Believe."

Each of the three surviving contestants took trips back to their hometowns, where they had become local heroes.
