Leehom Wang: “I Am Currently in Love…”

Leehom Wang appeared on Taiwanese talk show, < SS小燕之夜> and said that he preferred women with a natural style who do not give him pressure. He did not like women who wear a lot of gold or silver jewelry. The program host, Chang Hsiao Yen, noted that Leehom appears to prefer mature women. Leehom thought for a moment and said, “From my past love relationships, that seems to be true.”

Leehom’s statement re-directed fans’ attention towards his past rumored girlfriends, Amei Chang Hui Mei (who is four years older than Leehom) and Shu Qi (who is one month older). Due to his preference for older women, Leehom is able to share his life experiences with a partner [who is of equal maturity].

In Leehom’s directorial debut, Love in Disguise <恋爱通告>, the media pointed out that he took a gamble in casting young actress, Crystal Liu Yifei. Leehom smiled, “I quite admire Crystal . She has a unique style. Although she is only 22 years old, but her acting possesses a certain strength.” Leehom did not deny the fact that when Crystal was selected as the female lead in Love in Disguise, the film company owners and investors were doubtful and gave him pressure.

What will come after Android Gingerbread? Honeycomb, of course

It’s a well known fact that Google likes the alphabet and sweets for its Android versions’ codenames. Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, and the upcoming Gingerbread are proof enough.

Sure, there were a few misses (wasn’t Android 2.0 supposed to be Eclair? Also, what ever happened to Flan?), but generally the rule is clear. Each new version takes us to the next letter of the alphabet, while keeping the deserts theme.

So it was expected for the version of Android that’s to come after 3.0 Gingerbread to start with the letter H.

And the exact name seems to have been revealed: Honeycomb.

There’s absolutely no more information, but speculation has started that this may be just an incremental update, a 3.1 or 3.2 and not Android 4.0. Judging from Google’s recent release cycle, and their previous claims that they will be slowing it down, expect it to be finished near the end of Q2 2011.

BlackBerry Bold R9020 with OS 6 to come in October


Now that RIM has introduced the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and the Curve 3G 9300, it’s probably about time for a refresh of the Bold series.

Meet the BlackBerry Bold R020 – the R020 part is so unlike RIM that I’m thinking the final and official name can’t be this one. Anyway. Those hoping for the new Bold to bring many novelties will probably be disappointed, because there isn’t much that’s changed.

The BlackBerry Bold R020 looks just like the 9700, but it will, of course, run BlackBerry 6 (not that the 9700 won’t be updated to the new OS, too). It will also have a 5MP autofocus camera, and more RAM (512MB), the rest of its features being identical to the features of the old Bold.

Gillian ready to move on with ‘mature-minded man’

Gillian Chung is ready to love again, having moved on from a sex scandal that almost destroyed her career.

“Not every guy is bad,” she said. “I want a boyfriend who is ‘mature-minded’ and likes me for who I am. He shouldn’t try to change me.”

Chung, who was here on Friday for the launch of Jaz Beer’s latest creation, Jaz Fresh, also said she would pick more mature movie roles now. Jaz-ed up: Chung at the Jaz Fresh launch in Kuala Lumpur yesterday

“I used to play the part of a teeny bopper’s. Now I look for something more challenging. I would like to play ‘crazy’ characters in mou lei tao (slapstick) comedies,” she said.

“I’ve grown up, so it’s only natural to want to try different things,” the 29-year-old Hong Kong artiste told The Star.

Her fans are standing by her, too.

About 40 of them from her fan club braved the rain outside a restaurant at a shopping mall here for about two hours just to catch a glimpse of her.

The fresh-faced beauty made their wait worthwhile when she treated them to a rendition of Long Fa Siong Tek Yan (Riding on a Wave) – the latest single on her new EP (demo) album which is set for an October release.

Acer and Motorola getting spicy Gingerbread for Android 3.0 tablets?


Remember those Acer Android tablets the company has been teasing since May? Rumor has it they're getting put on ice -- for a little while, at least. They were initially planned to launch this year with a heaping helping of Froyo, but now the company apparently wants something sweeter: Android 3.0. The Gingerbread build is supposed to, among other things, support higher-resolution screens that one might want in a tablet, something that has apparently also caught the eye of Motorola, also said yet again to be working on a tablet. This would be developed in close partnership with Google and fits right in with the earlier rumors and roadmaps we've heard and seen. Gingerbread is said to come out of the oven sometime before the end of this year, which would likely mean a 2011 launch for these slabs. Is that too late for impatient tableteers?
