In news that we’ll have to see to believe, American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert is the latest contender joining the race to replace Simon Cowell on the judges’ panel of television’s most-watched talent show.

After wowing Idol producers with his quick wit and biting critiques as a mentor on last week’s Elvis-themed special, we hear the controversial glam rocker is being eyed as a possible replacement for the man the media dubbed Mr. Nasty. In fact, show bosses believe the “For Your Entertainment” hitmaker has just the right mix of moxie to be a dynamic asset to the series.

A loose-lipped A.I. insider divulges to nosy National Enquirer Gossip Guy Mike Walker (Consider The Source!): “Producers were totally bowled over by Adam’s on-target critiques and pithy comments. They believe he’ll bring a fearless, youthful freshness to the show. And let’s not forget, Glambert’s got real stage presence.”

4/22/2010 12:18:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

It’s been more than three months since Android 2.1 was launched, so it should be about time for Google to announce the next version of its mobile OS, Android 2.2 (aka Froyo).


According to Android and Me, sources familiar with the matter are saying that “Android 2.2 is currently being tested.” Moreover, it looks like a few Android 2.2 devices are already out there – probably used by Google employees only.

Google might announce Android 2.2 on May 19, when its annual I/O conference will take place (in San Francisco) – it’s expected that the Nexus One will be the first smartphone to be upgraded to the new version of the OS.

Droid Incredible arrives early for a few lucky, smug pre-orderers

4/22/2010 12:17:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


While the new Verizon Droid Incredible isn't supposed to arrive until April 29th, a few blessed pre-orderers are getting their units early. From the sound of it, there was a glitch in Verizon's system that was allowing some phone orders to be shipped right away -- sadly, that apparently has since been plugged. Interestingly, the boxes these are being shipped in so far just say "HTC Incredible," not that it's any surprise that the Droid Incredible moniker was a late-in-game addition. Of course, cries of "fake!" rang out in the forums, so one of the recipients (appropriately self-dubbed "SoSmarmy") posted a video of the phone booting up for all to see. Check it out after the break. Not seething with envy yet? Perhaps you should re-read our review of the new flagship Android handset.

Why Doesn’t Facebook Look Like This?

4/22/2010 12:16:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments



As you may be aware, tomorrow, Facebook kicks off its big f8 developer conference in San Francisco. We’ll be there to cover what’s going on, but it looks like a lot of the information is already out there — Inside Facebook, All Facebook, and GigaOM have good write-ups of what we can likely expect. We’ve previously reported on a bunch of these possible announcements such as the Meebo Bar-clone, the “Like” button for the Internet, and auto-logins for Facebook Connect.

Obviously, I’m interested in any location announcements the company may make tomorrow — but it’s not clear if Facebook will actually announce anything yet as their plans have been fluid, and possibly still aren’t solidified. I’m also pretty interested in the Open Graph stuff Facebook plans to talk about. When this was first vaguely previewed back in October, Facebook’s intention seemed pretty clear to me at the time: to make the entire web its tributary system. It’s likely to either be huge — or another huge privacy disaster for the network.

Kooky crooner Katy Perry got a tough lesson in holding her tongue while holding her liquor after she drunkenly requested that Lindsay Lohan be the maid of honor at her upcoming wedding to comedian Russell Brand.


Katy spent last weekend partying at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California — sans Russell, who has been busy completing stand-up shows. Lindsay was also at the event, and the two women quickly became friends, bonding over beer and the sounds of Beyonce dueting with hubby Jay-Z. Disaster ensued when Katy joked that Lindsay should help her plan her wedding — a request the actress apparently took quite seriously.
