A member of Taiwan's popular pop group S.H.E was flown back to Taiwan Sunday (8pm local time) after sustaining serious third degree burns in an accident while shooting a TV drama series "I Have A Date With Spring" in China on Friday.


Television images showed 28 year old, Selina Ren returning to Taipei late in the day on a chartered flight from Shanghai.

"I wish I could endure the suffering for her, even at the cost of my life," her father -- known to fans simply as Father Jen -- told reporters shortly after his daughter was rushed to the Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital outside Taipei.

"May heaven have mercy on her."

Mel Gibson Reportedly 'Furious' About 'Hangover 2'

10/25/2010 10:15:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

After being cast -- and then replaced by Liam Neeson -- for a comedic cameo in the sequel to the hit 'The Hangover,' Mel Gibson is downright "furious" with producers of the film, according to Page Six.

An insider says, "He doesn't understand why Mike Tyson, a drug user [and convicted rapist, as EW.com points out] who turned his life around, was given a chance while Mel was kicked to the curb. Everybody deserves a second chance."

Gibson seemed to be making inroads on his career comeback -- after his public image was disastrously damaged over the summer by recordings of his angry rants to his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva -- however, the news of his casting in the 'Hangover' sequel was immediately followed by rumors of dissent among the cast. Gibson was swiftly dismissed, and the role of the tattoo artist went to Neeson.

In a statement, Neeson's rep (who also reportedly represents Gibson) winked at the controversy, saying that Neeson would be joining the actors on the 'Hangover 2' set "pending clearance of cast and crew background check."

The drama in Gibson's personal life is making fewer headlines these days, but is far from over. He and Grigorieva are battling over custody and support terms pertaining to their baby daughter, Lucia. The single mom recently called him a "depressed lunatic" in the press, and vehemently denies accusations of extortion, insisting that she had no choice but to record the Oscar winner's rages in order to document his threats.

Droid Pro appears at Verizon for $299?

10/25/2010 10:15:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


If you're looking to get some BlackBerry up in your Droid, brace yourself for a premium price. Motorola's Droid Pro worldphone was just spotted at a Verizon test website for $299 on-contract and as much as $700 unsubsidized. Should the 1GHz unit arrive as shown without a chunky rebate of some sort, it would be the most expensive Android handset on offer -- a solid $50 more than Samsung's $250 Epic 4G -- a heck of a thing for an 320 x 480 resolution phone without a huge Super AMOLED screen. Perhaps this pricing is preliminary, however, or perhaps dual-mode CDMA / GSM chipsets don't come cheap. We suppose we'll find out the answer to the latter question when the HTC Merge finally appears.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Spa Day with the Kids

10/25/2010 10:13:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

What to do on a rainy day in Budapest with two young kids?

For Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the answer was an afternoon filled with history, relaxation and a fast food break.

Taking Sunday off from shooting her directorial debut in Hungary, Jolie, 35, joined Pitt, 46, for some special time with kids Zahara, 5, and Pax, 6. (The couple's other four children were elsewhere.)

First stop: the city's historic Lukács Gyógyfürdo, an indoor-outdoor thermal bath facility famed for its healing properties since the 12th century. In addition to the thermal baths, the facility also offers modernized swimming pools, spa treatments and saunas.

"Pax was definitely for it," says one eyewitness. "He came out laughing, and his hair was still wet when they were leaving."

Future LG Android phone for Verizon sports LTE

10/25/2010 10:13:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


We were just handed this image with very little detail other than the fact that we're looking at "a future LG high end Android phone for Verizon," but we can deduce a few things: one, and perhaps most notably, you can just barely make out an LTE logo toward the bottom of the back. That likely makes this one of the six-odd LTE phones Verizon has publicly said are slated for the first half of next year. Secondly, it's got an HD camera of some sort -- probably indicating either 720p or 1080p capture -- and finally, it appears to have a huge, mirrored display and possibly a front-facing cam in the upper right. Looks like there's also a WiFi logo on back (of course), but can anyone make out the other two logos there? And more importantly, can anyone wait for this to launch?

Update: It's been proposed that one of the logos might be for DLNA, since LG's a major DLNA player -- most recently with its PlayTo service on the LG Optimus 7.

$41.5 Mil 'Paranormal' Scares 'Jackass' From No. 1 at Weekend Box Office

10/25/2010 01:45:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Paramount took a chance on poltergeists and pranksters and ended up ruling the weekend box office.

Paramount's Paranormal Activity 2 had a spooky-good weekend, topping the domestic box office with an estimated $41.5 million in the best debut ever by a horror film.

The tally was at least a third better than prophesized for the haunted-house prequel and beat its franchise predecessor's bow running away. But it was never really a contest, due to the fright pics' vastly different release strategies.

Paranormal Activity opened in September 2009 with $77,873 from just 12 theaters, part of a low-profile launch prior to the micro-budgeted original's wide expansion. A year ago this past weekend, Paranormal topped domestic rankings with a $21 million session en route to an eventual $107.9 million domestic haul.
