Actress Keira Knightley Chops Off Her Hair

10/06/2010 02:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Hair ye, hair ye: Keira Knightley has chopped off her hair.

The sexy Brit, 25, debuted a sleek new 20s-style bob Tuesday at the Chanel spring/summer 2011 show during Paris Fashion Week.

"I had my hair bobbed about a month ago, then I had it freshly trimmed again this morning," she told UK InStyle.

The new 'do wasn't for a movie role. "I did it for myself," she insisted. See more shots of Keira's new 'do.

Next up for Knightley, who has described this year as a "whirlwind"?

She can currently be seen in the indie Never Let Me Go.

The actress -- who earned a best supporting actress nod at the 2010 Laurence Olivier Awards for her West End role in The Misanthrope this year -- also wants more stage time.

"I was very lucky," she said, "and I'd love to do more theatre!"

iPad becomes 'most quickly adopted non-phone electronic product,' analysts get giddy

10/06/2010 02:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


When the iPad finally dropped in April it was greeted with the expected fanfare, but opinions were rather divided about whether the thing would be a long-term success -- even amongst we humble writers. Six months on there can be no doubt, with the tablet selling 4.5 million units in its first quarter of availability according to CNBC. The truly magical iPhone? That managed a (relatively) paltry one million units in the same timeframe after launch, while the now ubiquitous DVD player pushed just 350,000 in its three four months of availability. You know what that means: it's time for analysts to start breaking out the hyperboles -- again. Colin McGranahan from Bernstein Research says "the iPad is a runaway success of unprecedented proportion," meanwhile Pete Najarian from TradeMonster.com calls it a "total media device" and concludes "there's not much a PC can do that you can't do on an iPad." That last bit is certainly debatable, and you know exactly where you can debate it. Just keep it respectful, yeah?

Nokia N8 gets 30fps 720p video hack and super-detail still compression tweak

10/06/2010 02:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

The Nokia N8‘s photography skills are already prompting plenty of discussion, but one modder has instead concentrated on squeezing out some extra performance rather than arguing over the standard results. Notorious Symbian-lover hyperX has already managed to coax the N8 into shooting 720p video at 30fps rather than the default 25fps, and he’s also worked some magic on the smartphone’s still images.

By tweaking the compression routines, which normally produce a 12-megapixel image around 2MB in size, hyperX has managed to get the N8 to output 11MB stills. So far the results of the mod aren’t entirely clear – he needs to shoot some more pictures so that we can compare and contrast – but you can certainly zoom in on details with minimal blurriness.

You can download the 11MB sample photo and the 30fps HD video file from hyperX’s site, and hopefully he’ll be releasing some public ROMs or at least instructions on how to tweak the N8 to replicate his results. We’ll have our own Nokia N8 review very soon.

Samsung sells 5 million Galaxy S units, launches the handset in Japan together with the Galaxy Tab

10/06/2010 02:00:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

While announcing the upcoming launch of the Galaxy S Android smartpohne in Japan, Samsung said that worldwide sales of the device have passed the 5 million mark.


More than 2 million units were sold in the US (where Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile all offer the smartphone), while more than 1 million units have been bought by South Korean customers.

In Japan, the Galaxy S will be sold via NTT DoCoMo starting October, coming with Android 2.2 Froyo from the beginning (unlike the European and North American versions, which were shipped with Android 2.1).

The Japanese Galaxy S will still feature Samsung’s Super AMOLED display, so production has not been halted after all.

In November, NTT DoCoMo will launch the Galaxy Tab tablet, too (which also has Froyo on-board, of course). No word yet on the prices the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab will have in Japan.

On a recent airing of Season 2 of Mnet’s 2NE1TV, a special treat was given to VIP’s during the Big Bang TV portion of the show.

The segment gave a preview of an upcoming Big Bang song and shows the guys working hard in the studio along with Teddy & Kush. Fellow YG Entertainment artist Se7en is also seen hanging out in the recording studio.

It seems G-Dragon likes to goof around while recording as he’s seen having a lot of fun with the dancing. However, from the small snippets we can hear in this segment this track sounds pretty awesome.

Appearing for the first time since he flew solo from Korean boyband Super Junior, China-born Han Geng is all coy when it comes to relationships

Since his departure from Korean pop group Super Junior, Han Geng is all ready to fly solo with his first appearance in Singapore last Friday. He officially left SuJu to break into the Mandopop industry as a "newcomer" and was in to town promote his first album My Logo launched in July.

During his meet-and-greet session with local fans in Singapore, Han Geng was in high spirits during the press conference as he talked about shopping and eating local food upon touching down on Thursday.

He also gleefully mentioned that the shirt he was wearing was bought on that day itself.

When asked about love during an exclusive interview with xinmsn, Han Geng revealed his shy nature and bashfully revealed that he is a "passive and unromantic person".

"I'm really shy!

"I'm more of an introvert and am not very good with words," he quipped.

Taylor Swift Loves to Write About What Happens in Her Life

10/05/2010 07:32:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

If you listen to Taylor Swift's new album 'Speak Now,' you'll certainly hear songs that remind you of the singer's life.

"My next album is something I'm really proud of. I can only write about what I've been through. And a lot has happened in the past two years," Swift tells Glamour.

"Everything that happens to me gets put into a song," she adds. "For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don't hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people's faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment."

Swift, who has has been interrupted on stage by Kanye, won several Grammys and other awards, and gone through high-profile relationships with 'Twilight' star Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas, can't wait for reactions to her new tunes.

"I'm not only excited about sharing the songs with fans; I'm also pretty interested to hear the response from the guys I've written about on this record," she explains.

On her life: I've gone through a few different phases of gratitude. When it's happening, you're all about [what's next] and trying not to make a misstep. When it came time to lock myself away and make my next album, I had a feeling of, Wow, that really was something, wasn't it? I drive down the same streets I used to drive years ago, when I was just dreaming about stuff like this. So I feel total happiness and anticipation for the next thing.
