TVB & CASH royalty issues, JSG Awards may stop at any time

TVB and HKRIA (Universal, Warner, Sony, EMI) have been in a royalty dispute since last December. HKRIA increased the royalty fee from the initial 5 million to 15 million, TVB felt that this was not reasonable and refused to pay the large fee.


The chairman of the 4 record companies (Cheng Man Chiu) admitted that there has not been any progress, the issue has already entered the legal stage, let the lawyers from both sides handle the issue. When asked if they will make a concession? He said: "Ah, making a concession does not mean we have come to an agreement. Right now TVB still has many series and shows using the Big 4 record companies music. (TVB is breaking the law and doesn't know?) I don't dare to say that, just feel that it's strange, don't know how to calculate it. We have to see what the court says, see if its reasonable."

Barbra Streisand Flattered by Jennifer Aniston's Transformation

Jennifer Aniston's amazing transformation into Barbra Streisand has caught the attention of none other than the Funny Girl herself.

"I was very flattered that Jennifer Aniston chose to interpret my style with the photos in Harper's Bazaar," Streisand, 68, says on her Web site.

So much so that the Oscar winner and Grammy-winning singer posted her own set of look-alike photos of the two stars, which shows them each lying on their sides with their heads resting on their left hand.

Aniston, 41, who paid homage to her idol in the fashion magazine's September issue, is "a delightful person," says Streisand. "I think she did a wonderful job."

Streisand's only constructive criticism about the spread? "If only she had a bump on her nose," she quips.

Verizon Motorola Droid 2 mockups show up at Best Buy

One of the most leaked handsets in recent history, the Motorola Droid 2, is still not officially announced. Many previous rumors indicated a possible announcement on August 10th and availability start on August 12th.


We sure hope that’s the case, because these constant leaks do nothing but tease. And that’s fine for a while, but when months pass without an official unveiling, it can get frustrating.

Anyway, this time around, Droid 2 mockups have been spotted in a Best Buy.

Girl Rocker Goes Glam: Avril Lavigne Leaves Her Rocker Threads in the Closet

One can't blame you for rubbing you eyes to see if the woman above really is the same rocker chick that ranted about being 'Complicated.' Avril Lavigne may appear to be tough as nails, but she has a softer side that she's revealed since making her foray into the fragrance industry.


In the summer of 2009, the Canadian native introduced the world to her first perfume, Black Star, a fruity-floral with a sweet juice comprised of pink hibiscus flower, black plum, and dark chocolate.

Now the 25-year-old singer is taking things to a new level with Forbidden Rose, which launches in mid August at Kohl's stores nationwide. Want to know what it smells like? Close your eyes and imagine a fruity-floral blended with red apple, wine peach, and white lotus, but with a woody base made up of vanilla and sweet prailine -- perfecting a much more sophisticated scent. No, this does not smell like a cramped concert hall.

Batman: Arkham City coming Fall 2011

Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 shall hence forth be known as Batman: Arkham City, named after the segregated supermax area of Gotham City. We can be sure that the environment will be infinitely more vast than just the asylum alone.


The next issue of GameInformer will delve deeper into Arkham City, though the covers already reveal Catwoman's involvement. My money's on some kind of co-op capability and plenty of Batman's romance drama.

In the faded grayscale background, we also see Two-Face doing an Uncle Sam point. And who knows, maybe E. Nigma will return to get his revenge on Batman for cheating with the Internet.

Batman: Arkham City is currently expected to launch some time next fall.
