'I don't like being the centre of attention,' says shy girl Jessica Alba as she poses for stunning photoshoot

For someone who's been a successful actress since her teens, Jessica Alba isn't the type of person you'd describe as shy and retiring.

But the actress insists she hates being the centre of attention as she poses in a stunning new photoshoot.


More happy to leave the leading roles to her contemporaries, the 29-year-old is hoping to prove her comedy chops in the latest Meet The Parents sequel Little Fockers.

She tells the new issue of America's Elle magazine: 'I'm shy. I don't like being the centre of attention. But when I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care.'

Mac Pro Server quietly introduced as Xserve heads for the grave, starts at $3,000


Sneaky Apple... real sneaky. Just as the company announced that it would be axing its rack-mountable Xserve come January 31st, in flies an all-new Mac Pro to effectively take its place. The Mac Pro Server -- which is slated to ship in "two to four weeks" -- has joined the fray this morning on Apple's website, with the workstation equipped with a single 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Xeon 'Nehalem' processor, 8GB (4 x 2GB) of DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a pair of 1TB (7200RPM) hard drives, one 18x SuperDrive, ATI's Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of GDDR5 video memory, and a fresh copy of Mac OS X Server (the unlimited-client license version, for those wondering). Curiously enough, this marks the second time Apple has thrown a "server edition" into the mix, with the Mac mini Server popping up in June. As you'd expect, the $2,999 base price can be pushed far north by slapping in a pair of 2.93GHz six-core 'Westmere' chips (a modest $3,475 increase), 32GB of RAM (only an extra $3,400), a Mac Pro RAID card (pocket change at $700) and a quad-channel 4Gb fibre channel PCIe card (just an extra grand). But hey, financing is available!

Jennifer Lopez to Idol Contestants: Don't Try to Sing My Songs

Note to contestants hoping to impress American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez: Don't sing her songs.

"It was cute, super entertaining and flattering, but no," the pop diva says of contestants who failed to make it through auditions by performing one of her hits.

"They know we're not out to cut them down or make a joke of them," she told reporters Thursday at a stop in Los Angeles. "We're trying to mentor them to the next step."

And so far – after visiting seven cities – Lopez says they've found 15 to 20 "real superstars who could be recording artists for sure," adding that the judges have seen "a lot of great country [singers]."

Just like in the show's previous nine seasons, for every potential "superstar" there are dozens of contestants who have to hear bad news from the judges – which can sometimes be heart-wrenching.

"I've cried," Lopez said. "We get a lot of elation when we put them through and devastation, almost, when they're not. But it's been a ball."

Android Gingerbread release date: November 11?

Although it’s been almost two weeks since Google posted a giant Gingerbread man in front of its HQ, the Mountain View company has still not announced when the new version of Android would be available.

However, according to one of IntoMobile’s “trusted sources”, Google will launch the Android Gingerbread (2.3) SDK on November 11.

November 11 is also the date when Verizon (the largest North American carrier) should introduce lots of new Android smartphones – although this may have nothing to do with Gingerbread.

The first Android Gingerbread phone could be the Google Nexus Two, which might be unveiled by Samsung on November 8 (Samsung has reportedly denied this, but it wouldn’t be the first time a company denies something that’s actually true).

So, what do you think, is Gingerbread finally coming on November 11 (i.e. next Thursday) or not?

Kim Kardashian Song “Shake” Leaked To Web [AUDIO]



Filing this one under “Our Daily Ewww!”

The Music World needs a Kim Kardashian album about as much as pop culture needs a Kim Kardashian. Somehow that fact hasn’t stopped the bootylicious socialite from stepping into the booth, picking up a mic, and wobbling all over an uptempo track produced by The Neptunes and The Nightmare The-Dream, the pudgy producer behind radio hits such as “Umbrella” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).”

Hey, it worked for Paris Hilton!

On Thursday, the Auto-Tuned goddess brought us Kim’s first single in the form of a song titled “Shake,” a cringeworthy offering that would make Heidi Montag blush.

Hold onto your eardrums.
