Jack's back! Johnny Depp has his dreadlocks on again as he films Pirates of the Caribbean sequel On Stranger Tides

7/03/2010 01:04:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

The countdown to the eagerly-awaited fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean film has begun after Johnny Depp started filming in Hawaii.

The 47-year-old was back in his battered leathers, boots, bandanna and dreadlocked wig to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in On Stranger Tides.

The actor was reportedly offered a $50million salary to reprise his role as the the seafaring hero for a fourth time.



Notably absent from the third sequel is Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.

Fans will know Bloom's character Will is trapped sailing the Netherworld after being resurrected following his fatal fight with Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) in the last movie At World's End.

Instead, audiences will be treated to another stunning female co-star for Depp - Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, 36.

The film will be something of a reunion for Cruz and Depp, who played lovers in 2001 film Blow.

Britney Spears: The Crazy Returns!

7/03/2010 01:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

OMFG. The dazed, haggard Britney Spears of old apparently emerged yesterday in L.A. Wow. How we missed crazy pants ... and the fact that she doesn't wear any. Okay, she's technically got shorts on - and a bra, oddly enough - but come on. Those things would probably be too big on her sons (who we hope never read this).

Check out Britney below, with a bodyguard trying to steer her in the right direction, looking either irate, confused or just out to lunch. Starbucks in hand, natch. The knee-high socks are a great touch ...



Britney's patterned bra and colorful, cute underwear sure caught people’s attention, but not as much as her unflattering facial expressions and growls of frustration. Once again mired in controversy about her child-rearing and her relationship woes, Britney’s odd behavior and frazzled appearance point to continued inner turmoil.

Earlier in the week, social workers made a visit to her home as part of an investigation launched amid allegations by a former bodyguard that she abused her kids. Is she able to keep it together? Is she stable enough to handle life without her dad's supervision? The Britney Spears pictures below don't make a strong case ...

Lindsay Lohan Punched by Waitress on 24th Birthday

7/03/2010 01:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Like any normal girl, Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 24th birthday by club-hopping with close friends, chugging Red Bulls like it's going out of style and, of course, getting punched in the face by a waitress.

The [insert 'Mean Girls' or "troubled" here] actress was out at club Voyeur in LA early Friday morning when this happened: "A waitress just hit me," she announced on Twitter. "Punched me for no reason."

While she is famous for oversharing and, at times, exaggerating on the micro-blogging site, Lohan's bizarre claim may hold some truth to it. She said there was "no reason" for the alleged attack, but an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com that the waitress in question was angry with Lohan because she was hanging out with Doug Reinhardt, Paris Hilton's ex.

"The waitress has a history with [Reinhardt]," the witness said. "She was jealous, and out of nowhere, the waitress punched her in the face! Doug didn't want any part of it and went to the other side of the booth. Lohan ran out."

Why Apple's iPhone 4 Update Won't Fix Your Reception Problem

7/03/2010 01:02:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

This graphic shows why some people experience the iPhone 4 signal drop problems while others haven't been able to reproduce it. It also explains why Apple's incoming software update—which promises more accurate signal bars—won't fix the antenna problem.


Which is sad, because I was hoping for a real fix to the antenna problem itself, not just the signal display (I want this phone badly, but I want it to work well at all times). After talking with some wireless engineers, it seems that this is not going to be the case. Michael Anderson, who used to work at Motorola's FCC testing lab, points out that "it's a fundamental flaw that can only be fixed through a redesign. If that is redone, all the FCC will have to be completed again. This may be a long slow process to fix."

3 lessons HP hopefully learned from the iPad

7/03/2010 01:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


The HP webOS Slate is one-step closer to the market now that HP officially owns Palm. It has a real chance to be the iPad-alternative of choice when it launches later this year. Hopefully HP engineers and designers have been taking notes about the iPad from the beginning because even though the iPad is selling like Girl Scout cookies, it’s far from perfect.

The Apple branding alone is part of the successful launch, but HP is, well, HP and a major player in the consumer market with deeper distribution channels than even Apple. If any one company can stand up to Apple in the tablet space, it’s HP — but only if they take advantage of learning from Apple’s mistakes and success.

Apple releases statement about iPhone reception, fix due in “a few weeks”

Apple has released a statement regarding reception issues with the iPhone 4. The statement, which is in letter format, cites the “formula” Apple uses “to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display” being “totally wrong,” and the fact that “gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars.” We’ve got the full release for you after the break. Apple said a free software update will be coming in “a few weeks” that will allegedly provide a fix. What do you think?

Google Music Launching Alongside Android 3.0 This Fall/Winter & more

7/03/2010 12:58:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments

According to Android product manager Gaurav Jain, Google Music will be launched concurrently with Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) at the end of this year. Presumably just in time to battle iTunes Live.

Apple and Google's race to stream content from the cloud has never really been a question of if so much as of when, and today's report from Israeli financial paper Calcalist gives us the clearest indicator yet of when we'll actually start being able to take advantage. Nevermind that mSpot already beat Google to a cloud-based Android music service; mass penetration won't happen until the big dogs step up with their own platforms.

Jain unfortunately didn't offer up any other details about what form Google Music would take, although we've got our own hunches. We do know, though, that we're just a few months away from finding out.

Nokia: the fight begins now, Symbian^4 N-Series device later

7/03/2010 12:57:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Nokia's newly appointed Mobile Solutions chief, Anssi Vanjoki, has penned an impassioned post over at Nokia Conversations today where he sets out his perspective on the company's current position and future challenges. Describing the Finnish phone maker as "a challenger now," rather than an incumbent, Vanjoki wants to introduce a "laser focus on quality," with his two central aims being to reclaim Nokia's reputation for high-end devices and to re-energize a flagging fan base. He specifically namedrops Ricky Cadden -- who yesterday shut down Symbian-Guru because he'd lost faith with the company -- and clearly considers grassroots support like that an important aspect of how Nokia's success will be judged.
