Megan Fox, Dominic Monaghan to Get Hot in Eminem and Rihanna Video?

7/21/2010 12:06:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Megan Fox doesn't need Michael Bay.

The former Transformers star has Eminem.

The world's hottest newlywed is thisclose to being in the video for "Love the Way You Lie," the Detroit rapper's hit single with Rihanna.

A Lost star has already been cast in the vid...

Dominic Monaghan is set to appear. Plans call for some rather steamy sequences between D.M. and Fox. "It gets really intense," a source says.

Director Joseph Kahn confirmed on Twitter yesterday that he was directing the video. However, he didn't name names. "Got off a call," he posted. "Emergency music video. Gonna write and turn in treatment in three hours to shoot asap." He apparently wrote it in just 45 minutes.

The source said Fox and Monaghan would shoot their scenes later this week in Los Angeles.

Kahn directed Eminem's videos for "Without Me" and "We Made You." He also directed Rihanna in a Covergirl ad. He most recently helmed the video for Kylie Minogue's "All the Lovers," which features dozens of beautiful men and women gyrating and making out in nothing but white undergarments.

Hey, Mr. Kahn, can ya get Megan and Dom to strip down, too? We'd really appreciate that. Thanks.

There's a baby on the way for Ali Larter and her writer/actor husband Hayes MacArthur.

"Ali and Hayes are thrilled to be expecting their first child," her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. The baby is due this winter.

Having a family has long been in the cards for the actress, 34, who wed MacArthur in Kennebunkport, Maine last August.

"I told my boyfriend after three weeks that I wanted to marry him and that we could do it tomorrow," Larter told Cosmopolitan in 2007. "I look forward to that time when I'm home with babies."


Google revamps Google Images Search

7/21/2010 12:05:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Google took the wraps off a new look for Google Images Search on Tuesday, putting up to 1,000 images on the first results page and implementing a new image-based ad format.


Google Images Search hadn't received a major update since 2001, said Marissa Mayer, vice president of search products and user experience, during a briefing for reporters at Google's San Francisco offices. The new look is designed to reduce the number of clicks it takes to find the image you're looking for and to provide more information about a particular image without having to click through to the result.

For basic searches such as "Yellowstone," Google Images Search will now return up to 1,000 images on a single page, using something called "infinite scroll" to navigate down the page looking for the right image. The company also built a thumbnail preview that pops up when you hover over a given image with information such as the URL where it is located, said Ben Ling, director of search products at Google.

Oh, Steve -- you should've known better. You show up and remove a laptop from a manila envelope, and Earth's most creative go and create a case fashioned out of one. You go and suggest that Eminem could "come out with a band-aid that goes over the corner" of your controversial iPhone 4, and well... this happens. You could wait for a free case, or you could buy six of these Antenna-aids for five bucks. The choice is obvious.

13 years of absence Vivien Chow comes back as a lesbian with Sandra Ng

7/21/2010 12:04:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Vivian Chow's 13 year on-screen absence finally ends with her participation in new romantic comedy film (All About Love) directed by Ann Hui. The film has been selected as the opening film at The 5th Summer International Film Festival. It was said that in the film, Vivian, Sandra Ng and William Chan have several intense kiss and bed scenes. Besides Vivian's playing the bath scene with Sandra, she also has an intense bed scene with William.

Her first comeback film being so daring is all because she has really admired this director (Ann Hui) all along, plus this is her first time playing a lesbian. It is a role that can be developed and is challenging. For her lesbian role, Vivian visited several homosexual websites before filming began. She also visited night clubs and a gay bar in Lan Kwai Fong with the director from time to time and would talk about love experiences with other lesbians at the bar.

Vivian says: "Because it's been a long time since I have been acting, it is inevitable that I'll be a bit nervous of my performance. To really make myself get into the lesbian character, I often hyptonize myself to like women. After communicating with several lesbians, I discovered that the majority of them are more gentle and attractive than men. During filming, I will often talk to Sandra, after work I would call her and be like a real couple with her, so when shooting kiss scenes, it felt extremely natural. But for William's bed scene, I was quite embarassed because he really looks like a little boy."

Apple shows Nokia's N97 Mini can be force choked, too (video)

Nokia claims it always prioritizes antenna performance over physical design, and we'll take them at their word, but that apparently didn't exempt one Espoo handset from Apple's grip of doom. Here's the Nokia N97 Mini going down for the count, from a full seven bars to two. Of course, Apple doesn't mention whether calls or data drop when the handset's held this way. Video after the break.

Vodafone Nexus One to get Froyo next week

7/21/2010 12:03:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Sure, Google may not be selling it directly for much longer, but you can and will still be able to buy a Nexus One from Vodafone, in certain European markets.


However, the Nexus Ones that were bought from Vodafone are still stuck on Android 2.1 right now, even if Google officially released Android 2.2 Froyo for the Nexus One a good while ago.

Vodafone has announced that it will right this wrong during next week. The roll out will be over the air, but will not go to all phones at the same time, so as always with these things, be patient.

If you’re wondering why it took so long, the reason is that Vodafone apparently couldn’t help tweaking things here and there in Google’s new OS.

Frugality fuels Yahoo's second-quarter gains

7/21/2010 12:03:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It was sort of a sunny day in Sunnyvale.

Yahoo's second-quarter earnings were up only slightly, but display advertising at its owned-and-operated sites rose 19 percent from the same quarter last year as the ad market has bounced back a bit from the dregs of the media recession. Search remained a weak spot. Net revenues are up 2 percent to $1.6 billion, and net income per diluted share (EPS) was $0.15, barely beating estimates of $0.14.

"We're pleased that we continued to deliver strong operating income and margin expansion," Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, who joined the company about 18 months ago and has been tasked with spearheading a turnaround, said in an earnings release Tuesday. "Our search fundamentals are improving and we posted another quarter of healthy display advertising growth."

But none of this was particularly surprising; Yahoo's ongoing management restructuring had led Wall Street to expect a rise in revenues as the Bartz-led belt-tightening progressed. That's partially what led to Yahoo's jump in operating income from $76 million in the second quarter of last year to $175 million this year.

Lindsay Lohan Surrenders to Begin Jail Sentence

7/20/2010 11:42:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


Lindsay Lohan surrendered to officials at a Beverly Hills courthouse on Tuesday to begin serving her 90-day jail sentence. The 'Mean Girls' star arrived about 10 minutes late and was accompanied by attorney Shawn Chapman Holley and her mother, Dina Lohan.

Shortly after the hearing began, Judge Marsha Revel announced she was decreasing the 24-year-old's lag time between jail and her rehab stint from 48 to 24 hours. The actress looked poised and calm as Revel spoke.

Cameras in the courtroom were ordered shut off by the judge per an earlier agreement, meaning viewers were not able to witness the star's last moments of freedom and the moment she was handcuffed. Lohan was then taken by car to the Lynwood Correctional Facility.

Lohan was sentenced July 6 to 90 days in jail and a 90-day inpatient rehabilitation program for violating probation on an old DUI case. The actress will likely serve approximately 23 days behind bars because, according to Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore, female inmates in custody for nonviolent crimes generally serve about 25 percent of their sentence.

Her stay will be considerably longer that the 84 minutes she spent at a suburban Los Angeles jail in 2006 for an unrelated conviction.

Lohan broke down in tears as Judge Marsha Revel revealed her decision. Two days later, Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley announced she was leaving the star's legal team and was later replaced briefly by Robert Shapiro. He tendered his resignation on Monday and Holley took up the case again.
