Splurging on material things "meaningless": Wang Lee Hom

10/25/2010 01:43:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Major Chinese dailies reported that Mandopop star Wang Lee hom would not spend his hard earned money on material things.

"Buying sports car ... I think it's meaningless.

"There are many people who need our help. I work with World Vision and every year, I want to help the needy more."

Although Wang, who is also an actor and film director, has made a fortune, he has spent his money wisely.

The artiste is currently driving a second-hand car, worth NT$60,000 (S$2,520). It was a present he gave to himself on his 33rd birthday last year.

Also, his house has only a bed, a computer and some music equipment.

To save the environment, Wang had not bought any new clothes for the last 15 years.

During the interview, he showed the pair of socks he was wearing and said it was a present from Jackie Chan.

Other superstars have a collection of cars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Among them, Cantopop star Aaron Kwok has 13 luxury vehicles worth over RM100mil (S$41.8 million) including five Ferraris, two Lamborghinis and a Mercedes Benz SL-class.

Jay Chou's collection included a Mercedes Benz SLR722 (about RM3.8mil) and some antiques.

Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep to Co-star (with Oprah!) in New Comedy

10/25/2010 01:42:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

They've already demonstrated on-screen chemistry by kissing in public, and now two of the biggest movie stars in the world are taking their relationship one step further.

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock are attached to star in the next movie from Michael Patrick King, writer/director of the 'Sex and the City' films.

As if that's not enough star power, Oprah Winfrey also has a role in the (currently untitled) project.

The Universal Pictures comedy features characters at a home shopping network dealing with "marketing, marriages and the media," according to the studio.

With Oprah retiring her hugely popular syndicated TV show soon, will she be a draw for moviegoers?

Aside from voiceovers, Winfrey has been absent from feature films since 1998's 'Beloved' -- so joining a mini-ensemble in what promises to be lighthearted entertainment seems a wise move. Of course, she's demonstrated good comic timing in guest spots on primetime TV ('30 Rock,' 'Ellen') for years.

Melinda Gates: No Apple products in my house

10/25/2010 01:41:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

How should one bring up children? Should one give them everything for which they ask? Or should one make them understand very early in life that some things are bad for them, whether it is physically or psychologically?

This flight of philosophical depth comes to me on reading an interview in the New York Times with Melinda Gates, wife of Microsoft's Bill.

I wasn't sure whether to laugh, cry, admire or attempt to plait my eyebrows. You see, the interviewer offered her questions about Apple. The first was quite amusing: "Do you own an iPod, which is made by Apple?"

When I read this i was overcome with a feeling that Halloween had come early. Melinda Gates needs to be told that the iPod is made by Apple? Might this phraseology not have made her shiver too?

What do we have here? The folks over at xda-developers have posted the above picture; an HTC Android phone purportedly named “Knight.” The phone rocks a 3.7-inch screen, akin to the Nexus One, and resembles a smaller EVO 4G with its four rounded soft-keys. The site’s source was unsure about an exact release date but does expect an official announcement “soon.” According to XDA, the phone sports a “hinge” of some sort; whether it’s a slide-out QWERTY, or a HTC Surround-esque speaker, remains to be seen. What are your thoughts on the 3.7-inch screen?

Céline Dion Gives Birth to Healthy Twin Boys

Céline Dion is a mom again – times two!

The singer, 42, gave birth to fraternal twin boys on Saturday at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., at 11:11 a.m. and 11:12 a.m., her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"Celine, René and their son René-Charles are thrilled," says her rep.

One of the babies weighed in at 5 lbs., 4 oz., with the other at 5 lbs., 10 oz.

Dion's doctor, Ronald Ackerman, said at a press conference outside the hospital Friday evening that the delivery, done via C-section, went as expected. He also revealed that the twins were both born with a good amount of hair.

The twins are healthy, says Dion's rep, but will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature.

"Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," the rep adds. "René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here."

Netflix testing $7.99 and $8.99 streaming-only plans in US right now, one is not a discount

10/24/2010 09:55:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


When CEO Reed Hastings called Netflix "primarily a streaming company that also offers DVD-by-mail," he wasn't messing around, as the company's quietly made streaming-only plans a reality on US shores. Strangely enough, however, it seems the firm hasn't quite decided how much the new plan should cost, as depending on which computer and web browser you use to navigate Netflix's website you'll see a different result. Our Windows desktop running Chrome was invited to sign up for the same $7.99 disc-less plan as our Canadian counterparts, while Firefox asked us to pay $8.99 for the same privilege, and in either case it'd cost us $9.99 in total if we wanted physical discs as well -- while a MacBook Pro on the other side of the country was given the choice between $8.99 for streaming-only or Netflix's previous plan of $8.99 for both. In short, there's a chance you might get a $1 discount if you only use the company's online service now, but if you like DVDs delivered to your door you may find yourself subsidizing those who don't. See a picture illustrating the discrepancy right after the break.
