New “Sex And The City 2″ Poster Features All Four Stars

The gang’s all here: Just a few more weeks until a brigade of Manolos and Cosmos descend on the box office once again. Sex And The City 2 – the sequel to 2008’s hit chick flick — opens in theaters on May 27 and the latest promo poster for the eagerly-awaited film hit the blogosphere Friday.


Don’t get too excited — like its predecessors, the poster looks like something snatched straight out of the Little Shop of Photoshop Horrors.

But on a more positive note, this poster features the entire Fab Foursome: Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte. The first two teasers only highlighted Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie, so it’s nice to see the other ladies getting in on the action, too.

'X-Men' Exclusive: Fox offers Matthew Vaughn 'X-Men: First Class'

In a move that may tilt the axis of fanboys worldwide, Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn is in talks to direct X-Men: First Class for Twentieth Century Fox. Why is this so bizarre? Because Vaughn is the very director who turned down directing X-Men: The Last Stand back in 2005 after he had already negotiated his deal with the studio. (Fox later hired Brett Ratner to helm the most successful of all X-Men films.) Vaughn went on to direct the disappointing Stardust for Paramount and, just two weeks ago, released the well-reviewed R-rated Kick-Ass.

Of course, considering Vaughn’s history with the X-Men franchise, he could very well turn down the First Class offer, as well (sources say the studio is also speaking with other possible directors). Should a deal come together, however, Vaughn would be helming an origin story of the X-Men crew, one that tells the story of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and the other X-Men in their younger years, played by younger actors. (No word yet on whether Hugh Jackman would reprise his role as Wolverine since his character doesn’t age as the others do.) The script comes from Jamie Moss based on Bryan Singer’s treatment. Though the studio had wanted Singer to direct once again, the director is only signed on to produce, since he’s preoccupied with directing Jack the Giant Killer for Warner Bros.

Tech Irony: Yahoo CEO Says Google Needs Help

Yahoo, oh Yahoo. Sometimes, you just make it too easy.

The company that's given us more punchlines than Kate Gosselin on a dance floor is back at it again. This time, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz is dishing out advice to Google, saying she thinks the search giant -- you know, the one that's soared while Yahoo has floundered -- may be in trouble.

Rimshot, anyone?

Yahoo's Bartz on Google

Ms. Yahoo's remarks come to us by way of an interview with the BBC News published on Thursday. In the interview, Bartz says Google will have to "do a lot more than search" if it wants to stay in the game.

ASUS CEO: netbooks will outsell tablets, Eee Pad to run 'Microsoft software'


ASUS CEO Jerry Shen sure is making the rounds this week talking up the company's upcoming entry into the tablet arena, but before giving up some more Eee Pad details he clarified that he doesn't anticipate tablet sales surpassing that of netbooks. The latter category is for personal computing while tablets are based on consuming content and Cloud computing. Shen said something similar when we spoke with him at CeBIT, but this time he also added that without Apple the tablet category would have been slower to ramp up. We'd say he's on the money with that one, but still he plans to launch an Eee tablet in early June at Computex. And though he mentioned there being a few versions, he revealed the "first phase will use Microsoft software." We don't know if that means the the tablet will be Intel powered and run Windows 7, or pack a Tegra 2 processor and boot some version of Windows CE like we saw at CES. Regardless of what happens, we'd say Microsoft's happy to hear this all after this week's news.

New Christina Aguilera Music Video: Too Sexy?

On June 8, Christina Aguilera will release her new album, "Bionic."

But the singer announced her return to the music business loudly, proudly and provocatively this week: she posted the video for "Not Myself Tonight" online.

In the video below, and in the still shot from it seen here, the singer embraces her inner dominatrix. She recently said: “I’m more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I’m even a more sexual Christina."


That's incredible news for warm-blooded males around the world, but it's stirring up some criticisms of Christina on the Web.

After all, she's a mother now. What will she tell her son Max when he sees her acting in such a manner?

Rihanna's in the mood for love as she shoots sumptuous new video in a French château

Rihanna was clearly in the mood for love as she appeared on the set of her new video.

The Bajan singer ditched her usual edgy, scantily-clad outfits for a romantic, flowing maxi dress as she shot the promo for her new single Te Amo.


Currently in France for her Last Girl On Earth world tour, Rihanna took time out of gigging to film the video in the scenic location of a French château.

After performing at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on Wednesday night, Rihanna was up bright and early the following morning to shoot the promo at a château in the nearby town of Vigny.

RIM oust Motorola from top 5 phone vendors; Samsung see major growth

Motorola have dropped out of the top five worldwide mobile phone manufacturers ranking, according to analysts IDC, with RIM taking their place. The move – which pegs Nokia in first place, followed by Samsung in second, LG in third and RIM sharing fourth place with Sony Ericsson – is being described as a sign of growing smartphone demand. Motorola, who have been a member of the top five since IDC began tracking worldwide quarterly figures in 2004, shipped 8.5m handsets in the three month period at the start of 2010; in contrast, RIM shipped 10.6m.

Western Europe has shown a strong pick-up in both smartphones and featurephones, while interest in the former was high in both the US and Canada. However, both countries saw decline, with only a renewed interest in messaging-centric featurephones keeping things buoyant. Asia/Pacific, meanwhile, saw strong growth, predominantly due to entry-level smartphone sales in the Chinese market.

iPad is a real "killer"

Tech pundits throw around the word “killer” far too readily, but it seems that Apple’s iPad is really a “killer” tablet. So far, there have been two casualties …

What makes the iPad a “killer”? Well, it’s already killed some of its potential competition.

First to bite the dirt sandwich was Microsoft’s “Courier” tablet. A two-screen folding device that was never officially announced or acknowledged, and now never will be. It’s dead. Microsoft pulled the plug on the project yesterday. The reason? Well, that’s not really given. but it’s hard not to think that the success of the iPad, and how much momentum it’s achieved.

Then there’s HP’s Slate. This device first made an appearance at CES in January alongside Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Now it appears to be dead. The rumored reason is that HP isn’t happy with with Windows 7 as a touch OS. This was a concern of mine back in March. But it’s odd that the plug is pulled on the device so late in the day because of a weakness that should have been apparent early on in the project.

2PM and SNSD go Baywatch for Caribbean Bay


Yesterday we brought you a little sneak peek into 2PM and SNSD’s upcoming CF for Everland’s Caribbean Bay. Now we have even more photos!

This time we have a few official photos of the two groups together and some behind-the-scene photos of the CF being filmed.

This joint collaboration between one of the hottest male and female groups definitely results in some sexy goodness as Nichkhun, Taecyeon and Chansung show off their muscular topless bodies while Seohyun, Yoona and Yuri flaunt their well toned figures in tight white t-shirts and shorts; creating a very “Baywatch” like theme.

Rainie attacks Arena too vigorously, loses sleep every night

"Cute Princess" Rainie Yang successfully controlled the stage at the Taipei Arena last Saturday, showing her flexibility and ballet skills that awed her fans. Finally having achieved her dream, she was extremely happy, and her sugar high lasted her through the next week after the concert, causing her to lose sleep almost every night. Every time she closed her eyes, she would hear the beating of her heart, "and I could see the concert over and over again".

Shields her emotions onstage, feels elated inside

After a full 10 years, Rainie completed her fantasy of "A Wild Fantasy Concert" by rehearsing nonstop, ignoring rolled ankle injuries, and constant nightmares due to intense pressure. Before her opening, she also suffered from a heavy flu, and her condition was all over the place. It wasn't until her concert ended that she finally believed that her beautiful dream had finally come true, and could finally rest at home, but she couldn't even fall asleep! "Because I'm just too excited! I close my eyes and all I can see is the concert." She said that she was trying to hide her emotions while onstage, because she didn't want her fans to see her cry, but inside she had already cried many tears of joy.
