On August 7th at 4:30PM, Jay Park met with reporters for a press conference in front of a hotel in Kangwondo before he had to go on stage at Summer Week&T 2010. There he was asked which singer he’d like to collaborate with.
Jay answered, “In preparations for my new upcoming album, I worked with Brave Brothers, Dok2 and many other artists. If the opportunity were to ever arise, I would like to work with the very talented singer Kim Jo Han. I ‘ve always liked Taeyang, so I think collaborating with him would be fun.”
Well there you have it folks. Though there is no indication of a Jay/Taeyang collaboration coming anytime soon, but do you think the joining of these two forces might be something you’d like to hear? One thing’s for sure–it’d definitely be hot. Butter them biscuits please.

Three years after bombing at her first Lollapalooza, Lady Gaga returned to Chicago on Friday night and proceeded to remind all those skeptics why she's the superstar she is.
"My name is Lady Gaga. I thank you for coming to my show. I didn't used to be brave. In fact I wasn't very brave at all," she told the crush of fans. "But you have made me brave, little monsters. So now I'm going to be brave for you. Tonight, I want you to free yourself."

It's not expected to land at Verizon until sometime in 2011, but it's never too early to take a look at an unannounced Android slider with specs like this. Leaked by Androidswag, the device is purportedly hiding a 1.2GHz processor (would that be dual-core?) beneath that 4-inch display -- the sweet spot for size and pocketability. The prototype pictured above was apparently sporting a Vodafone SIM card making this a pretty bodacious CDMA / GSM worldphone by the time it lands for retail. Of course, anything, or everything, could change by the time this pup is ready for launch and we'll be here covering every step of its journey. Two more shots after the break including a size comparison with the EVO 4G -- a few more at the source link below.

Yesterday, Vic Chou attended the premiere event for his latest movie Love You 10000 Years, along with co-star Kato Yuki and Director Kitamura Toyoharu. More than a thousand fans from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and other places in Asia went to support the star. Vic kept himself busy in promoting his new film; He first did interviews with the media in the afternoon, attended activities organized by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau where he met with fans, and then at night, he attended the premiere of the movie. Some fans from all across Asia spent as much as forty thousand dollars (NT) just to follow Vic for two days and participate in his premiere events at Taipei and Taichung, as well as his two fan meetings.
In a recent interview with host Matilda Tao, Vic expressed his thoughts on men needing to make more money than women, “If a man makes less money than the woman, he will not have any say on anything.” In the end, the media took his explanation as a reason for his breakup with Barbie Hsu. A little flustered, Vic advised everyone to watch the interview in full to understand. But in regards to earning money, Vic emphasized, “Isn’t a man’s career important?... Unless he’s living off of the woman. If I get married and build a family in the future, I hope that I can be responsible for my family.” He added that he feels his career achievement is not up to standards yet. He hopes that he will get there when he’s 40. When asked if he explained this to Barbie, he commented, “There’s no need to care so much about these types of reports.”

Well, would you look at that -- it's an Android 2.2 handset with a giant screen, HTC watermark and plenty of similarities to (though apparently no front-facing camera like) the EVO 4G. Could this be the 4.3-inch, 1GHz HTC Desire HD? That's what a Hong Kong forum claims, and we've no doubt we'll have pseudo-confirmation at some point soon given how quickly and thoroughly handsets are leaking out these days.

Lately, Mainland Netizens fried up the term "the remaining women" (剩女), describing women who have passed marriageable age and are a success in their careers, but are still single. Plus recently the government announced that there are more women than men in Hong Kong now, particularly more middle-aged women. "The Remaining Women" is also seen as a derogatory term. Have once been classified before, Miriam Yeung got married last year and separated from that group, but she still felt grief for her 'sisters' being labeled as 'surplus women'. She voiced out her feelings on Weibo and got thousands of retweets and 400+ replies. This stirred up heated feedback by Netizens.
Not fair to middle-aged women
Even 1989 Miss Hong Kong winner Monica Chan expressed her support on Weibo. Yesterday she accepted an interview and strongly stressed that Miriam Yeung was not being emotional: "I saw the two words 'remaining women' on the news and felt that I have to voice out my opinion. This term is strange, not fair to women, why are they only talking about women and not men?" Monica stressed: "If I wanted to get married, I would just do it for love, not the age!"

Will Ferrell is back and audiences are loving it. The Saturday Night Live alum’s pairing with Mark Wahlberg has proved to be a very successful combination, as The Other Guys scores a $13 million Friday, knocking Inception off the top spot for the first time in four weeks. The PG-13 buddy comedy directed by Adam McKay could reap $35-$36 million over the weekend, marking Ferrell’s second highest-grossing opening ever behind Talladega Nights in 2006.
In this time of celebrity entourages and PR protection, it's rare for a star to make a false statement. But Hollywood is nowhere near perfect, and every so often its peeps will make an off-color comment or reveal more than they intended to. We keep you informed of the most noteworthy Tinseltown talk with our weekly installment of Quips & Quotes.
