Lady Gaga Explains “Telephone” VIDEO

3/16/2010 01:36:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


Lady Gaga’s latest music video — a 10 minute mini-film in support of the charttopper “Telephone” — has already racked up nearly 16 million views on YouTube after its release late Thursday night — but that hasn’t stopped some music lovers from scratching their heads over the Quentin Tarantino-inspired vid’s controversial concept.

What was the vision? After a harrowing set of concerts in New Zealand over the weekend, Gaga called into “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” on Monday morning to explain just that.

Jen Aniston: W Shoot With Gerard Butler Was "Uncomfortable"

3/16/2010 01:36:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler look hotter than ever on the April cover of W magazine.

But the shoot -- which took place in mid-January on a ranch about 45 minutes outside of L.A. -- was rough.

"That was one of the most uncomfortable positions to be completely honest," The Bounty Hunter star, 41, said on ABC's Good Morning America Monday when asked about the cover. "My leg on the left [was] asleep. Gerry's right foot is sound asleep, the pain expression on my face is kind of real."

Celeb shutterbug Steven Klein shot the two. He was also the mastermind behind W's infamous July 2005 cover featuring Brad Pitt – who had then-just split from Aniston – and Angelina Jolie as a 1960's-style married couple.

When told that her W magazine cover had people chattering, Aniston coyly replied, "I wonder why."

As for the scrutiny over her love life, she said she tries to ignore what others say.

"Of course, I hear about it!" she said. "You have to get better over time. You have to sort of build up a tough skin."

Paula Abdul in talks to headline 'Star Search' reboot for ABC!

3/16/2010 01:35:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

This just in: Paula Abdul is straight up headed back to TV!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the ex-American Idol judge is finalizing a deal to headline an updated version of Star Search, the great-granddaddy of all televised singing competitions, for ABC. Abdul’s role is still being defined, but I hear it will likely include some combination of hosting and judging. An ABC rep refused to comment.

The Alphabet network had been wooing Abdul since last summer when she officially announced her departure from Idol. There was talk of her joining Dancing With the Stars in some capacity, but a deal never came to fruition. It’s not clear if Abdul’s Star Search gig would preclude her from joining former colleague Simon Cowell as a judge on the forthcoming US version of his UK monster hit, The X Factor, which is slated to debut on Fox in the fall of 2011. (Star Search is being targeted for this summer.)

LG, ASUS, and Samsung Windows Phone 7 Series Devices Get Photographed

3/16/2010 01:35:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments

It had to happen eventually. There’s no telling how many devices are in production right now that are going to eventually run Windows Phone 7 Series, but we can certainly tell how many there are right now, at least. Up until about a month ago, we thought we were just seeing about two devices, the ASUS manufactured hardware that’s been running the Windows Phone 7 Series software every time we’ve seen it since the official announcement, and the LG manufactured device that appeared a few weeks ago. But now, as we detailed earlier, Samsung has joined the game.



The team over at Engadget had an opportunity to have a quick meeting with the three handsets, and managed to take some quick snapshots of them as they posed for their moment in the spotlight. As for the phones themselves, we don’t have any real details about the devices in particular. We have the minimum specifications to go off of, but from these images alone we can’t really guess as to what kind of devices we can expect to hold in our hands. Or, more accurately, what’s powering them.

Hitwise says Facebook Most Popular U.S. Site

3/16/2010 01:34:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


New data released from analytics service Hitwise today names Facebook the largest website in the U.S. with 7.07% of all U.S. visits. Google is second at 7.03%. Yahoo Mail is third with 3.8% and Yahoo is fourth at 3.67% (if you combined both Yahoo properties, and I’m not sure why they don’t, Yahoo would be first). YouTube (a Google property) is fifst with 2.14%.

This is the first time Hitwise has named Facebook the top site in the U.S. Comscore still ranks Google the top site by reach at 81% of the U.S. population. Facebook, at 53%, is still behind Google, Yahoo and Microsoft sites in the U.S., according to the most recent Comscore data from February 2010.

Windows Phone 7 Series Game Hub Video Demonstration

3/16/2010 01:34:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

The tiles on the Start screen of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series is one of those features that we just can’t get enough of. Aside from the fact that they’re interchangeable and customizable, you’ve also got the mix of live Hubs in there that just make them all the more interesting. In the case of the Game Hub, this live tile is always connected to your Xbox LIVE profile, which allows for your LIVE Avatar to pop his or her head up every once in awhile, just to let you know they’re stuck in there.



As Joe Belfiore elaborates, right from the start you’re shown pretty much everything you’d want to know about your LIVE profile at a glance: notifications, and what your Avatar looks like. These notifications come in real-time, and are in the fashion of a number at the upper-right corner. Once you touch the panel to access the gaming section within your Windows Phone 7 Series device, you are immediately transported to the details of your LIVE content. Right at the start, you’ve got the games that you’ve installed on the device, which you can launch (just like everything else) with a quick tap of your finger. Below those tiles, you’re offered a “Try for Free” tile, which is being marketed directly from the LIVE servers to you.

G-Dragon is cleared of charges!

3/16/2010 01:33:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Big Bang’s G-Dragon was hotly reprimanded for having inappropriate performances in front of many young people during his concert in 2009. His concert was held in last December and he went under investigation for his sexual dance and the prohibited performances of songs that had been banned.

But on the March 16th, it was announced G-Dragon was cleared of charges regarding children’s protection law and the performance of banned songs.

YG Entertainment stated that his songs Korean Dream, She’s Gone and his album Heartbreaker got banned because of its ratings, but his concert wasn’t banned itself so it didn’t technically break any laws regarding performing. His concert was never initially marked with a certain rating, so his performances had the freedom to cross some lines. In conclusion, it was concluded that there was absolutely no reason for the concert to be charged against for its appropriateness.

As for the “bed scene” performance of Breathe, it was decided that the performance was just trying to express the song dramatically, so it wasn’t counted as a lewd conduct.

However, the police demanded around 3,000,000 won ($2,600 USD) as a fine; as a performer, G-Dragon and his associated staff have taken care of the matter.

YG Entertainment also said, “[The issue] didn’t go to court or anything so we consider it basically a pretrial disposition.”

iPad orders fall after Friday's rush, claims blogger

3/16/2010 01:33:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Estimates that 150,000 units were pre-ordered online through Sunday

Orders for Apple's iPad fell off sharply over the weekend after a big opening day Friday, an investment blogger claimed today.

According to a blogger dubbed "Deagol" -- who was identified by Fortune as Daniel Tello -- pre-orders for the iPad slowed to approximately 1,000 per hour on Saturday and Sunday from the 25,000-per-hour pace during the first two hours of Friday, when Apple began taking orders online.

Tello tracked 120 order numbers submitted by volunteers at Investor Village's AAPL Sanity message board to come up with his estimates. By calculating the difference between normal sales traffic on Apple's online store and the sequential order numbers provided by volunteers, Tello pegged total iPad sales at more than 150,000 units 60 hours after ordering began, or to approximately 8:30 p.m. ET Sunday.

His estimate included only those iPads that were pre-ordered through Apple's online store. As Tello and commenters on his blog noted, the estimates do not include iPads reserved by customers for in-store pick-up April 3, or any large-volume orders that may have been directly placed with Apple's sales force by businesses.

Windows Phone 7 series video demos: Associated Press & The Harvest Xbox gaming

3/16/2010 01:32:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Microsoft have been demonstrating some of the software that has already been created for Windows Phone 7 series in Silverlight, including the Associated Press’ news reader app and The Harvest, a 3D Xbox game which links the gamer’s achievements into Xbox LIVE. The ongoing theme throughout has been how straightforward development can be, together with the strength of the platform (and the Snapdragon-based hardware, of course). Check out video demos after the cut.
