Lindsay Lohan to Spend 14 Days in Jail

7/21/2010 12:11:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Lindsay Lohan will serve "about 14 days" of her 90-day jail sentence, L.A. sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells UsMagazine.com.

The actress, 24, has been "extremely cooperative" since entering the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif. Tuesday morning, Whitmore said earlier.

Lohan, who smirks in her mug shot, will spend her days in solitary confinement in a 12-foot-by-8-foot cell.

"She will be kept away from general population," Whitmore said.

After Lohan surrendered, her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told reporters that Lohan "is asking for your prayers and support. She has stepped up and accepted responsibility."

Holley described Lohan as "a talented young woman and I appreciate that she has accepted responsibility here. She is scared -- as anyone would be -- but is as resolute as anyone could be and she is doing it."

Taylor Swift to Release Concept Album in October

7/21/2010 12:11:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Country-pop starlet Taylor Swift, who sold millions of records detailing the agonies of adolescence, said on Tuesday her third album will be a "conceptual" release directed at specific people she met during her dizzying ascent to stardom in the past two years.

"In life you have a lot of situations that pop up and people come into your life and sometimes you don't get to tell them what you wish you would have told them," the 20-year-old singer/songwriter told fans during an Internet broadcast.

"This album is my opportunity to do that. Track by track, each song is a different confession to a different person."

The aptly titled "Speak Now" will come out worldwide on October 25 through Nashville-based independent label Big Machine Records.

Swift said the first single -- "Mine" to be released on August 16 -- was a song of hope inspired by her recent tendency to run from love.

"I'm never ever going to go past hoping that love can work out," she said.

For the first time, Swift wrote all of the songs herself and she produced the album with Nathan Chapman, who produced her previous releases. An extensive world tour will follow, she said, although dates have not yet been disclosed.

Zac Efron is "So Proud" of Miley Cyrus

7/21/2010 12:11:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Last month, Miley Cyrus made one of the most confusing, ridiculous comments on record, saying there's a double standard at work between the negative reaction she receives on stage and the praise heaped upon Zac Efron in movies.


However, Miley also showed love for the former High School Musical star, telling Billy Bush:

“Zac has a special place in my heart. If it wasn’t creepy and he wasn’t my friend, I would have posters of him on my wall.”

After being shown this interview, Efron had the following to say to Access Hollywood about Cyrus: “I’ve known her since she was a little girl. It’s amazing what she’s done. She’s blossomed into this beautiful lady and taking the world by storm. I’m so proud of her.”

As he tours the country in promotion of Charlie St. Cloud, meanwhile, Efron stopped by the Mall of America in Minnesota yesterday.

Apple eviscerates Q3 earnings estimates, revenue up 78% year-over-year

7/21/2010 12:10:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments


Apple’s quarterly earnings conference call ended just a short while ago, and records have been broken.

Apple announced that its fiscal Q3 ending June 26 brought it the biggest revenues and profits ever.

Revenue was $15.7 billion and net profit was $3.25 billion.

Year-on-year these mean growth of 61% and 77%, respectively.

The gross margin was slightly down to 39.1%, compared to 40.9% a year ago.

Apple has started selling the iPad during this quarter, and has so far sold 3.27 million.

The results have exceeded analysts’ estimates, and have triggered a 3.1% rise in Apple share prices in extended trading, after having already gained 2.6% in regular trading.

Apple is still, by far, the most profitable phone manufacturer. Which may be the only metric to matter, especially if you’re an investor.

HP Slate 500 with Windows 7 surfaces on HP's site

7/21/2010 12:09:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


We can't say we know exactly what's going on here, but it does appear that the HP Slate still lives in all its Windows 7 (and Intel Atom) glory. Yep, the guys at IDG News spotted the good ol' 8.9-inch HP Slate -- now apparently the Slate 500 -- hanging out on a rather hidden HP.com page. The details are few and far between, but they do seem to coincide with all that we originally had heard about the tablet -- it runs Windows 7 Home Premium, has "exclusive" HP software and two cameras. And that's not all, the chaps at IDG also noticed that the Slate 500 was Energy Star certified, and a listing for the same product on Energy Star's site confirms that it will have a 1.6GHz processor. That too seems to line up with what we had heard about the Slate having a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU. We know, it's all a bit surreal considering we just got word yesterday that HP had filed a trademark on the term PalmPad, and we figured the Slate may have seen its day. There's no telling what will happen next, but it sure is looking like a HP Win 7 and WebOS tablet may just live in harmony.

Verizon confirms Droid X screen issues, but says they're not widespread

7/21/2010 12:09:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

We just got word back from Verizon regarding those flickering Droid X screens, and sure enough, the ghastly images are not a side effect of your assimilation into the Droid collective. Verizon and Motorola have owned up to a genuine problem with a small number of Droid X displays, approximately one-tenth of one percent. If your screen starts acting up you'd best contact the authorities immediately. And by authorities, we mean tech support, not the FBI -- the omnipresent glowing red eyeball is completely normal. It told us so. Here's Verizon's full statement on the matter:

"Verizon Wireless and Motorola are aware of a very small number of DROID X units that have experienced a flickering or banding display. Motorola has resolved the issue and is continuing to ship the phones. Any consumer who experiences a flickering or banding display should contact a Motorola customer support center or Verizon Wireless."

As we inch closer to the release of Hangeng’s first solo Mandarin album, Geng Xin, he has now released the first MV in what will be a movie-like trilogy series.


The first MV is based off his track, 飞蛾扑火 (Moths to Flame/Fatal Attraction/Fire) is filmed with the concept of the main character’s internal struggle under the lights and cameras, his weariness of the world, how he wants to escape and his longing to a simple life.

At the same time, the MV’s beginning and ending shows the plot line through the usage of a comic book, detailed pictures and Hangeng’s determined look in his eyes are put together with HanGeng’s powerful and dazzling dance.

Leehom Wang and Crystal Liu demonstrate picture-perfect wedding photos

7/21/2010 12:08:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Leehom Wang and Crystal Liu will soon be seen in their new movie Love in Disguise when it arrives in theaters next month. They recently took part in a photo shoot for Cosmopolitan, which left many netziens envious after seeing photos of this fine-looking on-screen couple. In the pictorial, the two stars chased each other by the mountain stream and held hands while strolling along a white hallway. They looked as if they were the prince and princess from a fairytale, or a couple from a soap opera depending on who you ask.



Leehom Wang enlisted the help of Crystal Liu to be the lead actress in his directorial debut. He plays a famous singer in the movie who often disguises his real self when he is around her. Leehom frankly admitted that he has a lot in common with his character, and because of it, he would infuse the role with a lot of his own emotions.

The film combines his musical talent with movie-making, but as a first-time director, Leehom didn't become satisfied with the script until it was edited 53 times. He stressed that he didn’t make the film out on a whim, but it is rather something that he has been planning for a long time. Leehom said the film is a youthful and inspirational comedy. It embodies the responsibility of a filmmaker and a musician, and he hopes it will bring happiness to the audience.

TaeYang, “Me and Yuri, we are definitely not in that kind of relationship”

7/21/2010 12:07:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

TaeYang was on SBS Strong Heart aired on 20th July.

On the show that day, TaeYang talked about his encounters with So Nyeo Shi Dae Yuri, starting with a blind date set up by common friends between them.


He added, “We had a meal together once, and I have been invited to her concert before and because I don’t want the other members to have misunderstandings, so I went to the concert alone. But it was a good experience. I look forward to more activities in the future.”

SeungRi who was also present on the show added, “Only the 2 of them know what kind of relationship goes on between them right? I hope they turn out well.”

TaeYang then responded, “Me and Yuri are definitely not in that kind of relationship. But if we are to really be together, I will not openly say it out like this.”

Adobe FlashTime is like FaceTime, but for Android

7/21/2010 12:07:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Adobe is set to launch version 2.5 of AIR not only for the desktop operating systems, but for Android as well, and around the same time. Furthermore, the Android version will be on par, feature-wise, with the desktop version.


Using the upcoming AIR 2.5, Adobe has built the very creatively named FlashTime, which, you guessed it, is like FaceTime, but for Android. Unlike FaceTime, it also features a text-based chat system.

The FlashTime demo shows a video call between two Google Nexus One phones. The video goes through Adobe’s Stratus servers.

Mark Doherty, FlashTime’s developer, warns that some of the demoed features may not make it into the final v1 of FlashTime.
