Sandra Bullock's Divorce Likely Won't Be Messy

4/29/2010 12:40:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Sandra Bullock's split from Jesse James will likely be a clean break, a legal expert tells PEOPLE, and the actress's new son Louis won't be an issue in the case.

Bullock filed for divorce on April 23 in Austin, Texas, where she maintains a home and discreetly used her backwards initials "B.A.S." and James's initials "J.J.G" on the paperwork.

"Her legal filing indicates that both she and Jesse are seeking an amicable settlement and that there will be no children at issue in this divorce," says Daryl Weinman, an Austin-based family law attorney who's not involved with the case. "I wouldn't be surprised if this divorce wraps up quietly within two months."

The lawyer adds that Bullock has no legal rights over James's three children and if she wants visitation, she'll have to request that from a judge in a separate proceeding. The former couple could also reach a private visitation agreement. Bullock has said she intends to remain in their lives.

Gizmodo considers suing police after iPhone raid & more

4/29/2010 12:40:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

A lawyer for Gizmodo says the gadget blog could sue the sheriff's office in San Mateo County, Calif., for raiding an editor's home last Friday as part of a criminal probe into an errant iPhone prototype.

The option of a lawsuit "is available because search is not the appropriate method in this situation," Thomas R. Burke, a media lawyer and partner in the San Francisco offices of Davis Wright Tremaine, told CNET. He said the search warrant violated a California journalist shield law designed to limit searches of newsrooms.

Burke added, however, that he has been in discussions with the San Mateo County District Attorney's office and that he appreciated prosecutors' agreement not to search editor Jason Chen's seized computers, iPad, and iPhone while talks are in progress.

iPhone tethering on AT&T still waiting on better network performance

4/29/2010 12:39:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


AT&T's own Ralph de la Vega mentioned as early as November of 2008 that you'd be able to tether your iPhone to your computer and use it as a modem "soon," but here we are some ten months after the initial announcement of official tethering support in the platform and there's no sign of it. Considering that many iPhone carriers around the world deployed it as soon as Apple had it ready -- and many more came online over the months to follow -- it seems that AT&T's silence on the issue has spoken volumes. We reached out to the company today to get a statement on the feature's status, and here's what we got back (text bolded by us, not AT&T):

"We understand that there is great interest in tethering but cannot provide any details at this time. We know that iPhone users love their devices and mobile broadband, and that they're likely to embrace tethering just as they have other features and apps – by using it a lot. iPhone tethering has the potential to exponentially increase traffic, and we need to ensure that we're able to deliver excellent performance for the feature – over and above the increases in data traffic we're already seeing – before we will offer the feature."

Peter Ho and Huang Xiao Ming go shirtless for sake of ratings

4/29/2010 12:38:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

In hope for big ratings at the start of the show, FTV/GTV's Summer’s Desire will follow the trend of having its male leads shirtless in the first two episode in order to seduce the viewers. Peter Ho, who has previously done underwear commercials, was asked to go on screen with only his swimming briefs. Despite his previous experience, he still felt a little uneasy, “I asked the director if I could wear swimming trunks instead, but the director said that swimming trunks does not show enough pride, so he forced me to wear swimming briefs.”


Peter expressed that he felt like he was the monkey being watched in the zoo during the filming of the scene (while in his swimming briefs). He explained, “We were filming at the pool at the hotel and it was open for all to see. Although we were filming on the weekend and closed off the area, the floor above could see the pool in full through the windows. While I was filming downstairs, many people watched from above.”

Girlgroup f(x) member Amber has once again been caught under criticisms of her gender through her recent photoshoot.

An official said, “Amber wears the guy outfit and plays the role of a guy, taking turns to take photos with the other members.” It was said that not only in terms of the appearance, Amber’s facial expression was also much masculine, creating the perfect couple atmosphere.

New 'Scream 4' poster, plus an interview with director Wes Craven

4/29/2010 12:38:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It’s been 10 years since his last appearance in Scream 3, but Ghostface is back for more, as is the original Scream team of director Wes Craven, screenwriter Kevin Williamson (The Vampire Diaries), and the acting trio of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. Dimension Films gave EW.com the first look at the final teaser poster for Scream 4, which will hit theaters April 15, 2011. Horror movie maestro Craven, who’ll start shooting the new sequel this June, kindly set aside a few minutes to chat about the fourth entry in his memorably meta series.

EW: So how did Scream 4 come together?
WES CRAVEN: Bob Weinstein [the head of Dimension Films] felt that 10 years was enough of a wait. He felt it was time to give the original three films their due, so he called Kevin Williamson, who started coming up with ideas. For some years, Kevin had the notion of the general course of the next three movies. There was a point where Bob came to me and said, “We want to start showing you pages — do you want to do it?” And off we went.

Did you have any trepidation about revisiting the series so many years down the road?
No, I’m fascinated by what this movie is. I can’t think of another film that has not only a true trilogy, where you’re following a single central character over three pictures, but has the complexity to the story and other characters that also have continued along. And then 10 years later, to come back to those same characters and same actors, and continue that story in a way that’s totally organic. It’s kind of unprecedented.

Bret Michaels Is Conscious and Talking

4/29/2010 12:36:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

After days of bad news regarding Bret Michaels, finally there's a good sign: The Poison rocker and 'Celebrity Apprentice' contestant is reportedly conscious and slowly speaking for the first time since being hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage last week.

Michaels' rep confirms to PEOPLE that the singer is alert and speaking, though few other details were given.

Michaels, 47, was taken to the hospital on April 22 because he was suffering a horrific headache, which turned out to be a major hemorrhage at the base of his brain. He was in critical condition, but has recently been upgraded to stable.

Then, on April 27, his team revealed that Bret suffered a "minor setback" in the form of a disorder that may now cause him to suffer from seizures. There's no word if he has actually suffered a seizure already, or if his hemorrhage simply led to a condition that could trigger seizures in the future.

Flash Player 'Gala' brings hardware decoding support to Mac OS X

4/29/2010 12:36:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


Even amidst all their fighting, it appears Apple and Adobe can manage to lay down arms and work together every once in a while: Apple just enabled low-level access to NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 320M and GT 330M H.264 GPU hardware in Mac OS X 10.6.3, and Adobe's followed up six days later with a new preview version of Flash Player code-named "Gala" that takes advantage of it. That's good news for anyone who's ever heard their fans spin up while watching a YouTube video on a Mac (so, everyone) but we doubt it means there's any détente on larger issues between these two coming -- Apple remains committed to HTML5, while Adobe's pulled all investment from iPhone-related Flash development, and the company's relationship with Google seems to be heating up. We'll take what we can get, we suppose -- we'll hit you with some benchmarks just as soon as we get things installed.
