World's most beautiful couple? Ryan Reynolds named 'Sexiest Man Alive'... while wife Scarlett is 'Babe Of The Year'

They both love politics and are passionate about the environment. But it seems Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson also have something else in common - their good looks. Actor Ryan Reynolds has been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, a day after his wife Scarlett Johansson was labelled 'Babe Of The Year' by GQ magazine.



But while Ryan may have women the world over swooning, there is one person who won't be impressed. The Green Lantern star does expect his title to benefit him at home with his wife of two years. Scarlett, 25, has long been considered one of Hollywood's most beautiful women, with her curvaceous creamy-skinned looks and luscious blonde hair.

Ryan joked: 'Now it's going to be, "Sexiest man, take out the garbage," that does sound better.' The couple married in a secret ceremony in 2008 in Canada. They began dating a year previosuly, shortly after Reynolds split from then fiancee, the singer Alanis Morissette. Ryan, 34, may be a sex symbol but he has learnt to take it all in his stride. Ryan told the US publication: 'My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke.

“Paranormal Activity 3″ In Theaters Halloween 2011

The Paranormal Activity franchise isn’t through scaring up millions at the box office.

The bone-chilling horror series that first rose to prominence as a Twitter-endorsed independent film in 2009 is adding a third installment just in time for All Hallow’s Eve 2011, we’ve learned.

Writer and producer Oren Peli confirmed the news in a scoop with Bloody Disgusting on Wednesday. Fans are still waiting to learn, however, whether or not lensman Tod Williams will return to direct the film after helming Paranormal Activity 2. The follow-up to last year’s wildly-successful original, topped the UK and US cinema when it opened last month.

Paramount Pictures will release Paranormal Activity 3 on Oct. 21, 2011.

Kin ONEm and Kin TWOm back at Verizon


That's no typo, folks, Microsoft's own-brand pseudo-smartphones are back at Verizon, this time sporting an "m" appendage to their names and what looks like better pricing across the board. The Kin ONEm will set you back a cent under $20 with a two-year contract, whereas the TWOm costs just under $50 but is also subject to a Buy One Get One Free offer (the free phone being an LG Ally). We've spotted Zune Pass is still present on the pair, though it's on a "WiFi and sideload only" basis, seemingly forbidding 3G streaming. Plans start at $39.99 for voice and $9.99 for 25MB of data (while the $9.99 option is advertised, the cheapest data plan we're presently able to add is the $15 a month 150MB option), plus there's a $35 activation fee. Compared to the original pricing, which had the One asking for $50 in upfront costs and $70 as the minimum levy for voice plus data, we'd say this is a definite move in the right direction. A few months late, but better late than never, eh?

Not one for the kids! Amanda Seyfried is Red Riding Hood in very grown-up version of children's fairytale

It looks like the story of Red Riding Hood is going to be much sexier with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke directing.

New stills from the film show Amanda Seyfried in the title role, as Red Riding Hood/ Valerie.

And, like Twilight, the atmosphere of the movie, set in a medieval village, is very dark, gothic and more than a little raunchy.



Seyfried plays a girl in love with brooding hunk Peter, played by Shiloh Fernandez.

But her parents have arranged a marriage for her to the wealthy Henry, played by Max Irons.

Determined to stay together, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they find out that Valerie's older sister has been killed by a werewolf.

Maksim Chmrekovskiy on Bristol Palin: 'Shame on Her'

In what might have been the most shocking elimination show of the season, Brandy and dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy were sent home on Tuesday night's 'Dancing With the Stars'--while Bristol Palin and her partner remained. And Chmerkovskiy isn't too happy about it.

In an interview with E!Online.com Wednesday, the dancer revealed his true feelings about Palin. "I felt really disappointed with Bristol. On Monday night, I found out that she went on record saying that I said something about her along the lines of, 'I don't like her because she's still here and she's not a good enough dancer.' Every time I've opened my mouth about Bristol, I've been nothing but supportive...

"For her to come out on Monday night and totally smear my name the way she did, that's just completely uncalled for, " Chmerkovskiy continued. "I have no idea where she got it from, but wherever she got it from, shame on her and shame on whoever told her that."

Chmerkovskiy also admits to thinking the voting system is a bit problematic. "I definitely think that the system is flawed. I think there are a lot of problems with it. I have a lot of friends in the Philadelphia area who couldn't call at all. People here, in front of me, picked up the phone, dialed one time and it said, 'Thank you for voting. You are over your limit....' I think it's just a flawed system."

OnLive MicroConsole Streams Cloud-Rendered Games to Your TV


OnLive, the streaming game service, has matured really fast in just five months. I liked the original public release, when it was on just computers, but now it's come to a console that plugs into your TV. I like it.

To quickly recap, OnLive has a bunch of servers that do all the game rendering remotely, then pipe the resulting video to your console to show on your TV. All button inputs get sent to the cloud and processed; acting as if you were actually sitting in front of a regular console. Buying games on OnLive is cheaper than buying them from retail, but you also get the ability to try out games before you go in. And this MicroConsole is only $99.

JYP plans world conquest with Wonder Girls, 2PM, and miss A

The artists of JYP Entertainment are planning to spread out all over the world for the upcoming new year.

Representatives of JYP Entertainment revealed, “In 2011, the Wonder Girls will be in America, 2PM in Japan, and miss A in China in order to extend their promotions internationally. The Wonder Girls will complete their Asian tour and return to America to release a new track, and there’s a high possibility that they will release their first official album as well.”

2PM has already released a DVD in Japan and will be holding a showcase titled “2PM 1ST CONTACT IN JAPAN” on December 8th in Tokyo. Their Japanese promotions will officially begin in 2011 with the release of their first official album, “1:59 PM,” which will include a brand-new track in Japanese.

The representative went on to state, “Their schedule for 2011 is already planned so we will be moving according to that.” Due to members Wooyoung and Taecyeon’s participation in the drama “Dream High,” 2PM’s Japanese activities will be put on hold until the series has completed.

miss A was always meant to head over to China, and so the ladies will officially begin their Chinese activities in 2011 as well.

The CEO of JYP Entertainment, Park Jin Young, will also be quite busy as well – he will tackle his first attempt at acting alongside his artists in “Dream High”. Park Jin Young has also taken on the responsibilities of being the style and music directors for the drama.

Looks like it’s going to be quite the hectic year for JYP Entertainment! Let’s wish them well!

Ron Ng admits Mainland actress Viann Zhang is a guest at his house

Earlier it was rumored that "acting turned real" for Ron Ng and Linda Chung, the rumor isn't even over yet and Ron already has a new rumor. This time, the female lead is "Mainland Yiu Yiu", which describes Mainland actress Viann Zhang. Her 36F cup size becomes Ron Ng's new love interest. It was rumored that because of the rumor, Ron gets into trouble where a Mainland production company shuts him out. Though the two secretly interact, but the relationship was revealed when Viann uploaded a photo of herself taken at Ron's house.

It all started when Ron was shooting a series in Shanghai and met Viann at a nightclub. Since then, they kept in touch, Viann would often go to Hong Kong to meet up with Ron at his house. Viann also uploaded a photo of herself on Weibo, and it was discovered that the background was in Ron's house. Viann's Mainland boyfriend ordered the Mainland production company to shut out Ron, in hope to drive him away.

Tony Parker's Mystery Teammate Revealed

The Gossip Wire was atwitter this Hump Day as Eva Longoria-Parker filed for divorce from husband Tony Parker, ending the couple’s three year marriage after a humiliating cheating scandal.


Now we’re getting our first look at the woman who helped tear the couple apart.

According to an Access Hollywood source, The Other Woman/aka Mistress/aka Sideline Ho is allegedly Erin Barry, the wife of former NBA player Brent Barry — who just happens to be one of Tony’s ex-teammates. The guys hooped together on the San Antonio Spurs between 2004 – 2008.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Brent — who now works as a sports analyst for NBA TV — filed for divorce from Erin on Oct. 29. Coinkydink? We think not. When entertainment journalist Billy Bush quizzed Barry on the nature of her relationship with Parker this afternoon, the leggy blonde burst into tears and replied “No Comment.”

Samsung Galaxy Tab price wars: US carriers face off


Samsung's Galaxy Tab. You know our thoughts on the device, so let's assume you've passed the "should I buy it?" question and onto the more specific, "whom should I sign on with?" You're certainly not bereft of choices: by the end of November, five of the six largest US carriers (sorry, MetroPCS) will offer the Android slate -- but not all pricing schemes were made equal. Carrier-agnostics, we're here to help!

While we've already bemoaned the $50 premium on AT&T's model, we have confirmed there is no activation fee, which narrows the price between it and Verizon's offering to just $15 (and Ma Bell, along with Sprint, seem to be the only two offering a $50 Media Hub voucher). On paper, US Cellular has the lowest two-year cost with $760 on contract, but $15 monthly for 200MB is pretty ridiculous when just $20 gets you an entire gig on Verizon's network, or $30 for 2GB on Sprint. T-Mobile wins the award for the most insane disparity in data offerings: $25 for 200MB, or 25 times the data allotment (5GB) for just $15 more. 'Twas the best of deals, 'twas the worst of deals.

If you ask us, there isn't really a clear-cut winner, but we'd definitely contend Big Magenta's got the most alluring on-contract value if 5GB is in the range of your data usage; the equivalent plan costs $60 on Sprint and $50 on Verizon, with the latter offering no discount for making a two-year commitment. Then again, if you're the kind who prefers to be unrestrained and plan to spend $600 regardless, it's Verizon with the most competitive data plans overall. And of course, your decision will undoubtedly be influenced by network performance in your area. Consider yourself informed.

October search engine numbers: Google, Bing up; Yahoo, Ask, AOL down


Analytics company ComScore has released its October search engine market share numbers and… instead of making you fire up your search-site of choice and finding the information yourself, we thought we would just put it right there for you. October’s search numbers are as follows: Google 66.3%, up from 66.1% in September; Bing 11.5%, up from 11.2% in September; Yahoo 16.5%, down from 16.7% the month prior; Ask.com 3.6% down 0.1% from the previous month; and AOL 2.1%, down from 2.3%. We are curious to see how/if the recent release of Windows Phone will help Bing’s search numbers. We’ll find out next month.

Super Junior is the most popular Korean Idol in which South American country?


With K-pop quickly spreading in popularity across the globe, the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange is conducting various surveys and researching Hallyu trends in foreign countries. Recently, this organization conducted a Top 10 most popular Korean artist survey in a South American country. Which country was it?

The country is none other than Brazil, which is the world’s fifth largest country and where football (soccer) reigns supreme. The survey polled 2,826 young Brazilians who enjoy Korean music and Super Junior reigned supreme with a total of 2,137 votes.

Google Docs now supports mobile editing


While Android and iOS aren't short on productivity applications for cobbling together a .doc and sending it on its way, we've been really hankering for native Google Docs support since pretty much day one. Google is finally ready to deliver, and it looks like they've actually put some thought into the UI, particularly on the phone end of things. Edits show up in near realtime across platforms, and you can even edit tables embedded in documents -- though don't try to get too fancy, the tools still look pretty basic. Android also allows you to insert text using voice recognition. Currently Google Docs will be supporting Android devices with Froyo and iOS devices with 3.0 or newer (including the iPad), with the functionality rolling out over the next few days. There's a video after the break demonstrating the new features.

Katy Perry's Reps Worried Her Boobs Looked "Too Big" in Ad

Her cups runneth over...and her reps don't like it!

To help promote VH1's upcoming Dec. 5 special Divas Salute the Troops, pop singer Katy Perry, 26, was photographed posing like a pinup girl, an insider tells the new Us Weekly.

"But her team thinks her boobs look too big," the source says of the newlywed (whose bra size is 34D).

Another source confirms: "It's true. The ads are being redone!"

Indeed, on Wednesday, VH1 released the retouched promo shot (far left) featuring Perry's downsized chest.

It's not Perry's first cleavage controversy, either. In September, Sesame Street yanked her duet with Elmo after a public outcry over her low-cut dress.

Cowboys & Aliens Trailer: It's COWBOYS fighting ALIENS



Awesome. Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig, excuse me, Indiana Jones and James Bond, team up to kick alien ass in Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens, coming next year. It might replace Wild Wild West as my favorite revisionist Western!

Early PSP2 dev kit in the wild?


Well, this is interesting. VG247 has published what it says are pics from an early Sony PSP2 development kit. There isn't much to go by in terms of back story, and in many ways it looks more like a KIRF from Mr. Blurrycam's vintage collection than something for software testing, but let's hear what the site has to say: HD screen, two cameras (front and rear), microphone, two thumbsticks, and a rear "trackpad" of sorts, presumably akin to what we've seen on the PS Phone leak. VG247 later updated to say that a source claims it's an earlier version of the kit and that a revision has since been developed without a sliding screen -- a move to perhaps deal with (also rumored) overheating concerns. We know a PSP2 exists in some form, so this can go one of two ways -- either cleaner shots will be found, or an entirely different leak will surface later. Given the suspect Fall 2011 debut, we have plenty of time to wait around and see.

BoxWave's Keyboard Buddy turns your iPhone 4 into the Droid it always wanted to be


Suffering from a little bit of Droid envy? It happens to even the most loyal of iPhone users, and now BoxWave is stepping in to make your life almost complete (we say "almost" because there's still no native Gmail client for the iPhone, and all your tears aren't going to solve that). The BoxWave Keyboard Buddy Case is just what it sounds like, a Bluetooth keyboard embedded in an iPhone 4 case, only instead of flipping out like the TK-421 or slide-tilting like the ultra-bulky Nuu Mini Key, BoxWave's solution is a simple sliding affair that adds very little to the iPhone 4's profile and hardly anything to its footprint. Also, it's your buddy. It'll start shipping next month, and it's a little spendy at $70, but can you really put a price on the flattery of imitation?

SME and JYPE deny Taecyeon and Jessica dating rumors


Relationship rumors have been swirling around 2PM’s Taecyeon and SNSD’s Jessica on internet community sites, and it’s gotten hyped to such a point that both companies have stepped forward AGAIN to make an official statement about the supposed couple.

Taecyeon’s agency, JYP Entertainment, stated to Star News on November 18th, “All members of 2PM and SNSD are close to one another in general. Jessica and Taecyeon specifically have a close friendship, but they are definitely not dating.”

Jessica’s agency, SM Entertainment, gave a similar response by stating, “Jessica and Taecyeon are close friends. Rumors of them dating are groundless.”

Selina Excitedly Sits in Wheelchair; Ren Ba in Tears

Selina has been in battle for 27 days since the fire, on the evening of the 16th Ren Ba posted on his blog announcing that the day before in the afternoon she is able to get off the bed to try and sit in the wheel chair for an hour, she excitedly requested the nurse to help her wheel around the room in small circles saying: "Daddy, I wish I can roam in a green field as if I was sitting in baby stroller." Ren Ba sighed with one word "tears" to explain his complicated feelings.

Ren Ba once again prayed that his daughter would get a good night’s sleep, "when a person is more clear-headed, the more sleepless nights, asking the psychiatrist for help, using telling stories to help the treatment to open her memories of the accident, each detail of the accident would make her in go in tears. Even though there are numerous nightmares, but Xuan's mood is more comfortable after venting it out!"

On the 17th HIM had also disclosed Selina was able to take of the gauze from her thumb, face, head and left arm. The doctor recommended her to change her existing air mattress to the regular mattress so it will be easier for her to use strength to go on her sides, during the change it was her first time to leave her bed and to sit on the wheel chair, even requested the nurse to help her spin three circles as if spinning out for some air.

Eva Longoria Files for Divorce from Tony Parker

Three years after a storybook wedding in a European castle, Eva Longoria filed for divorce Wednesday from basketball star Tony Parker, a source tells PEOPLE.

The Desperate Housewives star's documents were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court just one day after her rep denied that Parker had done the same in a Texas court.

Longoria, 35, and Parker, 27, were engaged in November 2006, then wed – as fireworks lit up the sky – on July 7, 2007, at Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte, a 17th Century castle on the outskirts of Paris one day after a small civil service. The double wedding celebrating came after a week of partying in Saint-Tropez, France.

In 2008, one year after their lavish wedding, the Desperate Housewives star was plagued by pregnancy rumors, though she, Parker and her costars repeatedly denied them.

Still, Longoria Parker, said she was looking forward to having children with her husband, telling reporters in July 2008 that was eager to start a family. "I can't wait," she said at the time.

A year earlier, the two were rocked by rumors that the San Antonio Spurs star had cheated on his wife, though Longoria Parker stood by her husband, cheering him on at games and sharing public dinners.

"They are perfectly happy, despite everything that's going on," a source told PEOPLE at the time.

And, recently, the actress has lavishly pampered her husband, showering him with gifts for his 28th birthday this may. The also celebrated their third anniversary in lavish (and romantic) style with an Adriatic cruise and vacation with friends.

Sexiest Man Alive: Ryan Reynolds

Sure, his chiseled abs have caused millions to swoon, but this year's Sexiest Man Alive Ryan Reynolds loves to keep them laughing.

"My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke," says the 6'2" actor, who suits up as the Green Lantern next year. "When I stop training, I turn into a skin-colored whisper."

We doubt that. From growing up the youngest of four brothers in Canada to being the funny guy in films like The Proposal, Reynolds has learned to take everything in stride. "You just have to go with the flow," he says of his new title. "This gives my family entre into teasing me for the rest of my life. "

The actor does expect a few new perks at home with his wife of two years, Scarlett Johansson. "Now it's going to be, 'Sexiest man, take out the garbage.' That does sound better," Reynolds says. "The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers."

Red hot Rihanna sizzles in racy album cover artwork... but is she taking her provocative image too far?

Her daring clothing and explicit song lyrics have raised eyebrows in the past.

But Rihanna's sexually charged image may be going a little too far for what is appropriate for her young fans.



The singer appears in a series of seductive shots for the cover artwork of new album, Loud, including posing topless and even without pants.

The first shot sees the 21-year-old crawling on her hands and knees in a desert setting completely topless with a strategically placed arm, and a breeze blowing up her flouncy skirt to give a glimpse of her behind.

Susan Boyle Dethrones Taylor Swift on Billboard 200 Chart


Kate Middleton isn't the only lady in the U.K. with something to smile about this week -- Billboard just announced that Susan Boyle's holiday album, 'The Gift,' has bumped Taylor Swift from the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Swift has dominated the charts for the past two weeks, but her 'Speak Now' album was no match for Boyle, who moved 317,600 units.

"Singing is the best job in the world, it really is fantastic. I'm just an ordinary woman who showed a bit of determination and this is what has happened. To have a second No.1 album is wonderful and something I never expected," the singer exclusively told PopEater upon hearing the news.

Sneak Peek: Carey Mulligan Goes Gatsby Glam!

Now that Carey Mulligan has beat out some of Hollywood's hottest babes for the part of Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby—easily one of T-town's most hyped films—Baz Luhrmann has released a shot from her screen test with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Do you think Mulligan has what it takes to toy with Leo's heart (onscreen)?

No offense to sex pots Blake Lively or Scarlett Johansson, but this is the kinda beauty we imagined when faux reading through Gatsby (one of America's greatest and most beloved novels) in middle school.

Carey's totally gorgeous, but not in an in-your-face kinda way. We think her chic glam and charm will easily translate to the big screen.

Plus, this shot was just for audition purposes; we have a feeling her look will evolve more as the movie moves forward.

But are you satisfied?

'Dark Blue' canceled


TNT has canceled exec producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s Dark Blue, the show about a group of undercover cops starring Dylan McDermott, according to Variety. Blue had not performed well for TNT in its second season, averaging 2.2 million viewers per episode. The network has the second season of Ray Romano’s Men of a Certain Age slated to begin in December.

Apple’s iPhone 4 in white hands-on, kind of!


Well, well, well. We finally got our white iPhone 4 fully working, and wanted to update our previous story, but we also figured some high resolution shots of the phone would be pretty tantalizing as well. After being sent a white front and back assembly from our ninjas at cnn.cn, we transplanted the stock black iPhone 4 with the newly received parts. We had some difficulty with the first front white LCD assembly we got, however, so we had to wait for a second one. The second fared better, though it still didn’t work properly — the proximity sensor wouldn’t work at all! We finally gave up until someone suggested we remove a bit of metallic foil covering the proximity sensor holes on the front of the device, and lo and behold, this fixed our issues. We’re now running a 95% stock white iPhone 4. Things we didn’t bother changing include the dock connector on the bottom of the device and the internal headset jack piece (both come in a light gray from Apple).

'The Green Hornet' receives 93% approval rating at test screening; Jay Chou praised for his portrayal of Kato


Jay Chou’s debut Hollywood film ‘The Green Hornet’ earlier held a test screening in America and scored a 93% approval rating from the audience. Sony Pictures is happy with the overwhelming response and is said to be planning a sequel. Jay Chou’s portrayal of Kato was also praised by U.S ‘Entertainment Weekly’ columnist, for being the highlight of the trailers.

Last Tuesday, Sony held a secret test screening for ‘The Green Hornet’ in Los Angeles. They didn’t reveal to the audience beforehand which film was being tested, and randomly selected spectators, in the aim to receive truthful responses. Once the film had finished screening, 93% of the audience ranked the film in the top two boxes; ‘Excellent’ and ‘Very Good’. 83% of the audience also expressed that they would definitely recommend the film to their friends.

‘The Green Hornet’ will be released in theatres in 3D on January 14, 2011.
