Bosnia Doesn't Hate Angelina Jolie After All

10/19/2010 01:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It's going to take more than just a technicality to keep Angelina Jolie out of commission.

Just a few days after Bosnian officials put the temporary kibosh on her directorial debut over concerns with her script (namely, its absence from her application to film in the country), Jolie's production is back on track today.

Nice to know red tape doesn't just affect the little people.

"We were promised by the Ministry of Culture that the permit will be issued on Monday," the director of Scout, the Bosnian production house working on the as-yet-untitled film told ABC News. "It was supposed to be done on Friday, but now it is sure to happen Monday."

The permit was rescinded due to some crossed wires last week. Jolie's production neglected to include the full script when submitting their application to film in the country, instead attaching only a synopsis. Then something happened which, really, should've been no surprise to Jolie: the rumor mill took over.

Anne Hathaway "Fell Apart" Doing Sex Scenes With Jake Gyllenhaal

10/19/2010 01:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

When Anne Hathaway reunites with her Brokeback Mountain costar Jake Gyllenhaal for Love & Other Drugs (in theaters November 24), the actress hopes audiences aren't scared away by the film's raunchy sex scenes.


"This movie certainly has a lot of nerve," Hathaway, 27, tells the November issue of Vogue.

In the film, Hathaway plays a free-spirit named Maggie who hooks up with a Viagra salesman named Jamie (Gyllenhaal) -- roles that required both actors to strip for the cameras.

"These are people who have no trouble taking their clothes off -- in a way, their bodies are their currency," she explains. "But they're terrified of exposing their vulnerability, of becoming emotionally naked."

But Hathaway admits that unlike her character, she didn't feel nearly as comfortable exposing herself emotionally and sexually.

"I was a wreck from start to finish. I think I cried every single day," she says. "I had to lean so much more heavily on everyone around me than I'm used to. I’m used to pulling my own weight. But I totally fell apart."

Keira Knightley Scarlett Johansson As Princess Diana In “Diana” Biopic?

10/19/2010 01:02:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Former Pirates of the Caribbean actress Keira Knightly and Golden Globe-nominated blonde Scarlett Johansson are in chats to be cast as Princess Diana in a new movie called ‘Diana’ based on the life of the Princess of Wales, film industry informants have reportedly revealed to London’s Daily Mail.

Knightley is at the top of the list of a number of actresses, which includes Johansson, vying to play the royal humanitarian, who perished in a car crash in 1997.

The film, to be produced by English production company Pathe, will chart Diana’s life from her childhood as Lady Diana Spencer in the British country through her turbulent marriage to Prince Charles and her sudden death. Diana is expected to hit theaters in 2011, just in time for what would have been Diana’s 50th birthday, The Mail reports. (Next year is also expected to bring a long-awaited marriage proposal for Kate Middleton, who has been dating Diana’s oldest son, William, for more than five years….)

Dame Helen Mirren, 65, is tipped to play Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd.

“The project is in the early stages, but Pathe has chosen 2011 quite deliberately. It will be in the same vein as their movie ‘The Queen’ and will detail the ups and downs of Diana’s marriage and the early lives of the Princes,” the insider explains.

Tiger Woods Exact Divorce Payout: $110 Million to Elin

10/19/2010 01:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Tiger Woods' pricey divorce from jilted wife Elin Nordegren cost him $110 million, RadarOnline.com reveals for the first time.

An inside source told Radar that Elin has not been flaunting her fortune, however, citing a recent trip from California to Florida on a standard Virgin flight rather than a chartered jet. "She could afford the jet but didn't even consider it," the source said. "She's not cheap, but she's just not throwing money around and wasting it the way some people would."

Nordegren employs nannies to help care for her two children with Woods. "But she has cut back some of the hours some people work. She's not acting like she hit the lottery."

Though $110 million is a massive sum, a source tells Radar that Elin could have potentially received much more. "Tiger is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with his earning, investments and the endorsement deals he's made over the years. Elin got a lot of money, but she could have received more. She wanted enough money to not change her luxurious lifestyle, but she didn't try to take him for every penny that she could. Elin wants to get on with her life."

Shia LaBeouf Carey Mulligan Breakup?

Stick a fork in ‘em: Add Young Hollywood cuties Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan to the brigade of celebrity couples giving Cupid in the finger.

Word on The Curb has it that Carey has moved back to her native Britain after cooling her relationship with LaBeouf.

Apparently, Autumn is not the season for lovers.

Distance is believed to be the determining factor in the reported LaBeouf-Mulligan split. While Carey was spending a lot of time across the pond promoting her film projects, Shia was Stateside, shooting scenes for the upcoming Transformers film. Their grueling work schedules reportedly kept the lovers separated for weeks at a time.

London-born Mulligan relocated to New York last year when she began dating the curly-topped action star during the filming of Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, but the twentysomething is now back in Britain after putting her love life on hold, informants-in-the-know tell The New York Post.

“I’m moving back to England; it’s a long story. I am spending more time here at the moment. Just spending time with my family, really,” Mulligan told Britain’s Daily Telegraph this week.

HTC Goes Off-Piste With Forest Green Gratia Android Phone

10/18/2010 05:36:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


Have you ever seen an Android like this before? Unfortunately it's only destined for Europe, and while the specs aren't quite as high as HTC's recent Androids, it's running Froyo and comes in three delicious colors.

Really, it's no contest though—that forest green is just too nice for words. I'd love to see them roll that colorway out across some of their other models, like the Desire range, if possible.

The Gratia has a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 display, and will include a 600Mhz processor, 512MB ROM and 384MB RAM, and has a 5MP camera on the back, with a VGA cam lurking on the front there. It's got all the usual features too, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a g-sensor, digital compass, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and microSD card slot. It weighs 115 grams, and measures 103.8 x 57.7 x 11.7 mm. It'll be on sale in November, across Europe.

Toshiba REGZA IS04 Android phone packs 12.19MP camera

10/18/2010 05:35:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Toshiba has outed its latest smartphone, and it’s the second KDDI Android handset for the Japanese market that we’ve been envious of within the space of a month. The Toshiba REGZA IS04 doesn’t have the high-resolution display of the Sharp IS03 – it gets a 4-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen instead – but what it does have is a 12.19-megapixel autofocus camera.



Keeping things moving is a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, paired with WiFi b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, and the smartphone is waterproof and has a microSDHC card slot. It uses a new EVDO system, too, promising up to 9.2Mbps downlinks and 5.5Mbps uplinks.

In fact the only thing stopping us from weeping openly is the fact that the Toshiba REGZA IS04 will arrive in January 2011 running just Android 2.1, which is already behind the times and, by then, will be well superseded. It’s part of three new KDDI Android devices announced today. No word on any potential North American/European release.

According to Andrew Kim (28), Rain borrowed $150,000 USD from him in June of 2007 in order to play baccarat at the Bellagio hotel. Explaining the reason behind his decision to file a lawsuit, Mr. Kim stated, “Three years have passed and he has yet to repay me.”

Metal iPhone 4 Cover Protects Your iPhone 4 Without the Bulk of a Case

10/18/2010 05:34:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


The iPhone 4's glass backing is remarkably fragile—even moreso than the other iPhone models. If you'd like to keep it protected without making the phone bulky with a case, consider replacing the back with this metal back cover instead.

For a mere $12, you can save your iPhone from accidents by replacing the back cover with this nice, beveled metal one. There are, of course, others floating around the net, but tech blog Unplgged recommends this one for its low price, beveled back, and super easy installation—all it takes is a bit of unscrewing (and it looks pretty darn good too). I still wouldn't be too casual about dropping your iPhone, but if you're prone to accidents and don't like big cases, this is another great way to go.
