Jaejoong adds another tattoo to his collection

11/01/2010 04:06:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


A picture of JYJ’s Jaejoong has been causing quite the buzz lately. Why? Because he unintentionally revealed his new back tattoo!

Adding to his collection of tattoos, Jaejoong recently showed off his newest one. In this picture, he is bent over while wearing a dark transparent shirt. Naturally, because of the sheerness of the material, eagle-eyed Cassies were able to spot the new tattoo right away.

What’s particularly interesting about his new ink is that it mentions fellow bandmates’ Xiah Junsu and Micky Yoochun, but fails to mention the other members in TVXQ.

What do you think of his new tattoo? Could there be a hidden meaning behind it?

Thanks to Reema for the tip!

T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab available for preorder at Amazon, costs $699 unsubidized

We played devil's advocate with Verizon's $599 Galaxy Tab, but it looks like the T-Mobile version of Samsung's Android 2.2 tablet is going to cost a Benjamin more -- it's ringing up at $699.99 right now at Amazon unsubsidized. If we were you, we'd wait and see what kind of deals can be had in-store come November 10th, but if you simply must have one immediately you'll be able to use it with one of Magenta's standard mobile broadband plans. $25 a month gets you 200MB with 10-cent-per-megabyte overage fees, whereas $40 buys you unlimited use with a 5GB speed cap, and you can purchase blocks of prepaid data an 100MB, 300MB and 1GB increments at the usual rates. It's a bit of a shame we're paying the price of a decent laptop for a seven-inch smartphone sans cellular calls... but you didn't really need that rent money, right?

Park Bom teases with a behind-the-scenes look from “It Hurts” MV shoot

11/01/2010 09:14:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


If you’re wondering what on earth we’re showing here, don’t worry – it’s not Sesame Street’s Snuffleupagus, nor is it Cousin It. 2NE1’s very own Dara donned an outrageous wig for the music video of their follow-up track, “It Hurts“, and Park Bom snapped a shot of the wig from behind.

Bom uploaded this photo onto her me2day with the caption, “What could this be? kekeke”

Avid fans of the group recognized that it was Dara right away, but some still ventured hilarious guesses: “A broom? kekeke“, “Looks like a hamster“, and “A ghost? It’s scary...”. The majority of responders bombarded the response box with impatient pleas for the music-video release: “When is the “It Hurts” MV coming out?” and “Ithurtsithurtsithurts~~”

We’re really looking forward to the music video, which is supposedly being released sometime tonight. Stay tuned for updates!

It seems like the Billboard charts are reflecting the power of the Hallyu wave recently, as 2PM was the newest K-pop group to rank on the illustrious music chart.

2PM landed the #13 spot on Billboard’s “Top World Albums” chart with their latest album, “STILL 02:00PM” – it’d be exciting to see them land in the top 10, no?

'Saw 3D' is Weekend's No. 1 Earner with $24.2 Million

11/01/2010 02:35:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Maybe viewers found some surprise chills and jolts in 'Saw 3D,' but as far as the box office is concerned, the horror movie's debut played out pretty much exactly as expected. The result was a one-two punch for horror on Halloween weekend, with 'Saw 3D' grossing an estimated $24.2 million in ticket sales, while last week's winner, 'Paranormal Activity 2,' dropped to second place with an estimated $16.5 million.

The 'Saw' franchise, now on it's seventh (and supposedly final) installment, showed signs of dulled teeth last year when the first 'Paranormal Activity' stole much of its box office thunder. 'Saw VI' opened with just $14.1 million toward a total domestic gross of just $27.7 million, both record lows for the series. This year, the 'Saw' filmmakers helped their cause by making the movie in 3D (and ensuring a bonus from glasses rentals), marketing it as the final 'Saw,' and not opening it directly opposite 'Paranormal Activity 2.' (It also helped that there were no other new wide releases this week.) Still, given how played out the franchise is, $24 million was about all anyone expected.

Meanwhile, 'Paranormal Activity 2' took a hit, not just from the 'Saw' competition, but also from middling word of mouth. In its second weekend, it lost 59 percent of its business, which was in line with this weekend's predictions. Still, its two-week total is a not-at-all-shabby $65.7 million.

Action comedy 'Red,' in its third week, slipped a modest 28 percent, to an estimated $10.8 million and a third-place finish. Its total to date is $58.9 million.

Twitter Added 30 Million Users In The Past Two Months

11/01/2010 02:34:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

In a New York Times profile on Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, the company revealed a few interesting stats showing the growth trajectory of the network. Twitter now has 175 million registered users, which is up from 145 million users in September. That means the startup added around 30 million users in just under two months. And Twitter has added 70 million users since April.

This is impressive growth considering that Twitter had a total of 58 million users in 2009 (and 503,000 users three years ago). That’s a 200 percent increase from 2009 to 2010 in terms of users. And the year isn’t over—it’s conceivable that at the rate Twitter is growing, the company could be ringing in the New Year with 200 million users. So what’s contributing to this massive growth?

The new Twitter.com experience, which the company announced in mid-September, probably accounted for a surge in users. And new initiatives like allowing users to watch and Tweet President Obama’s recent town hall meeting from Twitter.com have surely drawn more attention to the platform.

In September, Williams said that traffic to Twitter.com has grown about 100% this year and on average 370,000 new users sign-up for the network per day (that’s up from adding 300,000 users per day in April).

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse: Thank you iPad

11/01/2010 02:34:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


Sprint may not stock the iPhone or the iPad, but that hasn’t stopped them from reaping the benefits (or even making a case) of the iPad’s success. In an interview with GigaOm, Dan Hesse,CEO of Sprint pointed out that the fastest selling iPad’s were the WiFi variants, which bodes well for Sprint. Sprint’s Overdrive 3G/4G mobile wireless hotspot, has been selling well, allowing iPad owners to blitz the net at 4G speeds. “The company has seen an uptick in demand for its Overdrive (3G/4G) MiFi wireless hotspot device, as people use it to connect their iPads to the Internet when on the go.” Although Dan stopped short of giving us some actual numbers, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Sprint has been rolling out their 4G network gradually across the major cities in the U.S., and from the looks of it, their Overdrive sales aren’t going to pipe down any time soon.

Jolin Tsai releases new repackaged version of "Myself"

11/01/2010 02:33:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


To celebrate the success of her latest album, “Myself”, Jolin Tsai is releasing a new repackaged “4D” version; it will contain two C’D’s and two DV’D’s – which adds up to “4Ds”. She especially went to Shanghai to film a MV for “Black-Haired Beautiful Girl”. For her new image style, she specially invited image stylist Thomas (Sammi Cheng / A-Mei Chang) to design six set of clothes for her. Only showing her legs this time, Jolin said, “It’s the first time that I feel I’m revealing too much, I feel a little embarrassed.”

Jolin went on WQYL to promote for the new edition of her album. Other than performing the latest single and playing games with her fans, she also showed her nail art talent. That is…with host JR lending his hand. Host Zax Wang stood on the side and watched, “The nail art design needs to match the person, right? I think he’s (JR) more suitable for Hello Kitty.” While trying to stay focused, Jolin thought that it would be cute to add a bow. Afterwards, Jolin even packaged a set of nail polish to give to JR – who was actually more concerned about how he could remove the nail art, otherwise he would have to record his shows with it.

HTC Desire HD vs. EVO 4G... fight!

10/31/2010 12:01:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


By now you've probably read our Desire HD review and you've seen how HTC's latest Android flagship stacks up against its Windows Phone 7 sibling, the HD7. But how does it fare against the original Android giant, Sprint's EVO 4G? The devices share common displays (4.3-inch WVGA) and cameras (8 megapixel with dual LED flash) -- but they use different radios (HSPA+ versus CDMA / WiMAX) and processors (first-generation Snapdragon in the EVO, second-gen in the Desire). In fact, the two phones actually have very different personalities when you consider the Desire HD's aluminum unibody case and the EVO 4G's HDMI output and kickstand. Take a look at these mighty beasts side-by-side in our gallery -- along with a video after the break!

Note: In the video we mention that the Desire HD features a front facing camera. This is incorrect.
