Oksana Breaks Her Silence: Mel Gibson "Is Lying"

Oksana Grigorieva is speaking up for herself.

Mel Gibson's ex and the mother of his 8-month-old daughter Lucia briefly broke her silence on Friday as she encountered paparazzi outside her lawyer's office in Century City, Calif.

Recently accused by Gibson's camp of attempted extortion, she slammed the charges. "Mel is lying. He's lying. There's no extortion, and there's no texts and no emails," Grigorieva, 40, said. "I'm fighting for my child. [Mel's] just a liar, and it will come up in the court, just wait." The Los Angeles Sheriff's department recently confirmed that it is investigating the extortion charge. Meanwhile, Gibson, 54, is the subject of a domestic violence probe.

The Russian-born musician also slammed reports that her younger sister leaked the infamous phone tapes that hit Radaronline.

"She (her sister) doesn't have them," Grigorieva said of the shocking tapes in which an irate, screaming Gibson spewed racial and misogynist epithets and threatened his ex with violence. "She erased them a long time ago."

In fact, her rep told Entertainment Tonight: "Oksana emphatically denies that anyone on her side, specifically her sister, leaked or marketed to Radar Online or anyone else ... Radar has again confirmed it was neither Oksana or her sister who gave them recordings."

Vanessa Hudgens: Badass and Photoshopped for Sucker Punch


And Vanessa Hudgens' quest to shed the tweeny, High School Musical persona continues.

Not that we're complaining. This shot of the actress as Blondie from director Zack Synder's (300) Sucker Punch, one of our 11 Buzz Films of Comic-Con, has us hoping to see more soon.

Billed as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns," Punch also stars Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Jamie Chung and Carla Gugino.

Check out shots of the rest of the cast after the jump and tell us what you think: excited for more or less than thrilled with the heavily retouched look?

Apple keeps antennagate alive with Droid X's 'kill switch' (video)


We had a feeling Apple wasn't done showing off the apparent reception woes of its competitors -- after all, the company already updated once this week with the Nokia N97 mini. Now it's going after Motorola's celebrity of the moment (and known iPhone 4 bully), the Droid X. You can see Cupertino's results in the video after the break, but unlike Apple's other videos, we can't seem to recreate this one as easily with our Droid Xs. But hey, it's not like anyone's gonna buy a big phone anyway, right?

Microsoft: IE8 barred 1 billion malware downloads

Internet Explorer 8, with the help of its SmartScreen Filter, has "blocked 1 billion attempts to download malware," Microsoft product manager James Pratt said in a blog post Friday.

The SmartScreen Filter evaluates URLs and their associated servers. If the software recognizes a server as containing malicious content, it displays a warning, saying it's unsafe to browse to a respective site that could cause harm on the user's computer. The user is then given the option to continue to the page or go back to their home page without downloading any content.

According to Microsoft, the SmartScreen filter continues to improve. In August 2009, it blocked 70 million malware download attempts. At the time, just 15 percent of Web users were surfing with Internet Explorer 8. Today, Microsoft reported, nearly 26 percent of the Web population is using IE8, and the company's SmartScreen filter is blocking "five times more malware month on month" compared to August 2009.

Netizens on SHINee ‘MR-removed’ comeback performance video, “Is this live or CD?”

SHINee once again proves their perfect live skills through a MR-removed video released.

SHINee had their comeback stage with their 2nd full length album title song ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Up & Down’ performances on KBS 2TV Music Bank on 23rd July.


The video released after the performance online had garnered great interests and through the MR-removed video, it can be seen that the boys did a 100% live performance. And their live performance skills is comparable to their CD recorded vocal standards.

This comes in the midst of idol groups being criticised as *’5-seconds singers’ as SHINee proves that they are capable of good live performances.

Meanwhile, netizens’ comments include “Is this live or CD?”, “SHINee is really the evolved idols” etc.

Wall Street speaks -- the days of Microsoft growth are over

Yesterday, Microsoft reported record revenue and massive earnings, in what must be considered a blowout fourth quarter at a time when the country remains in the economic doldrums. Today, its stock price dropped. What gives? Wall Street has spoken: It believes the days of big growth at the company are over.

The fourth-quarter news for Microsoft is about as good as it gets. Its revenue was $16.04 billion, a 22% increase over the fourth quarter last year. It had a net income of $5.93 billion, an increase of 49% compared to a year ago.

And yet, as I write this, even though the overall stock market is up slightly today, Microsoft's stock price is down .36, to $25.48, a 1.47% drop. It's hard to imagine Microsoft reporting better financial results than yesterday's, but that still doesn't satisfy Wall Street. Microsoft's stock price has remained at the same level for years, even as revenue has ballooned.

As I wrote in my blog, Is Microsoft stock suffering from a "Ballmer discount"?, some people attribute the problem to Steve Ballmer's lack of vision for the company.

Lee Hom avoids Dee Hsu’s persistent questions on his love life

He avoids answering Dee Hsu’s incessant questions on his rumoured love life by playing dead and lying on the studio’s floor

It has been three years since the multi-talented Taiwanese singer-actor Lee Hom guest starred in the variety programme, Here Comes Kang Xi. When he last appeared three years ago, he was interrogated by Dee Hsu (also known as Xiao S) on his highly-speculated romantic relationship with fellow Taiwanese actress, Shu Qi.

Although Lee Hom did not make any verbal response to Xiao S's questions back then, his reaction to the question was cut into a promotional clip for the show. Wang continuously rejected production's invitation to guest star in the show ever since the clip was circulated around with the header 'Lee Hom admits to relationship with Shu Qi'.

After a three-year hiatus, Lee Hom finally agreed to appear on the programme at the invitation of Chen Han Dian, Here Comes Kang Xi's protégé and Wang's fellow actor in his upcoming movie, Love In Disguise.

Apart from promoting his directorial debut flick, Love In Disguise, Lee Hom also promoted his newest music album, 18 Types of Martial Arts, which is slated for a month-end release in July, on the show.

Apple’s Real Problem With The White iPhone 4 — Well, Potentially

I’ve fielded a lot of questions today about the iPhone 4. No, not about the antenna — that was last week — today, all people want to know is why the hell is white version being delayed again? Like everyone else outside of Apple, I have no idea. Is it a problem with the glass supplier? That they’re prioritizing the black ones for now? That they’re working on an antenna modification? Any of those things could be the reason behind the delay (though if it’s the last one, Apple is going face a whole range of new questions). But I can’t say for sure what the reason actually is. What I can say that this is potentially a real problem for Apple — and I don’t mean from a manufacturing perspective.

In their two-sentence statement on the matter this morning, all Apple said is that the white iPhone 4 “will not be available until later this year.” This is a quick reversal from just one week ago when Apple confirmed that the device was on track to ship by the “end of July” — which itself was already quite a bit of a delay from the original iPhone 4 launch in June. “Later this year” is a bit ominous. It could mean anything from August all the way until December. The fact that Apple isn’t saying “August” or “another month” seems to suggest that it will be at least the Fall when we see the ivory device.

And again, that’s a problem. Let’s just pick a random month that it could be released — let’s say November. A white iPhone 4 released in November means it will have been a full five months since many customers have had the black iPhone 4 — the exact same device, only black. More importantly, it will only be seven months until the next WWDC event, where the iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called) will be announced.
