Lady Gaga promises 'Born This Way' will be the 'greatest album of this decade'

Lady Gaga told fans at a concert in Poland on Friday that her upcoming album, Born This Way, is going to be “the greatest album of this decade.” “I don’t know what to say,” she said though tears, as the audience cheered. “Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would do without all of you. You are the most… I just promise that, I don’t even know. I promise you I’ll never let you down. And not for nothing, the album’s finished, and it’s f—ing really good,” she said, smiling. “So whatever this is, whatever you just did, for all of us, I promise to give you the greatest album of this decade, just for you.”



Gaga told the crowd that the album would be “so much deeper than a wig or lipstick or an outfit, or a f—ing meat dress,” and that it will be “about what keeps us up at night and what makes us afraid.”

That’s a pretty tall order, Music Mixers. Do you think Born This Way will live up to it?

Dell Venue Pro will cost $149.99 and ship on December 14

The only phone in the initial batch of USA-bound Windows Phone 7 devices that got announced last month to still not be available is the Dell Venue Pro. This device is headed to T-Mobile, as we’ve already known from that semi-announcement.


And today, Dell has shed some light on what’s happening with the Venue Pro. If you order one from Dell, they’ll ship it to you on December 14. The price is $149.99. However, as you probably expected it, you’ll only get that price if you agree to a new 2-year contract with T-Mobile. You can also buy the phone outright for $499.99, but keep in mind that while it will work with T-Mobile’s 3G network, it won’t work on AT&T’s 3G.

The Dell Venue Pro has a 4.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, a vertically sliding physical QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, and it’s powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

The event kicks off at 12PM and we'll make sure to tune in, if only to find out what Tony's answer is to the inevitable "what is 4G" question.

Reese Witherspoon: Dating Nonactors Is Way Better Than the Jake and Ryan Circus

Dating celebrities is so overrated.

At least for Reese Witherspoon, who dishes about her love life in the latest Glamour.

The January cover girl tells the fashion mag, "It's very comfortable to be with somebody who understands my career, but doesn't do what I do."

Take that, Ryan Phillippe and Jake Gyllenhaal!

But the actress adds, "I don't want to disparage any of the other relationships that I've had that were meaningful and wonderful"—because she's just nice like that.

Reese is happily dating Hollywood agent Jim Toth and is more content and confident than ever, especially with her sexuality: "Sexuality and femininity is an accumulation of age and wisdom and comfort in your own skin. I feel better—so much better now than I ever did in my twenties. I am calmer; I know who I am. And as a result, I feel much sexier."

That would explain the vampy cover. Usually the adorable actress is working the perky, America's sweetheart angle, but not this time—Reese is smokin' in a Burberry dress with leather straps, chunky jewelry, fishnets and tousled hair.

What do you think of this sexier side of Reese? Weigh in below!

Office Depot welcomes 10-inch ViewSonic G Tablet into the fold, slaps $399 sticker on it


If your tablet wishlist includes things like Tegra 2, Android 2.2, and 1080p video playback, you might want to drop by your nearest Office Depot some time soonish. ViewSonic's G Tablet has just been made available for purchase at the store's many outlets across the US and is also supposed to be up for grabs at its online portal. We say "supposed" because we can't find it anywhere on officedepot.com, but that's probably just a temporary issue. The main point is that $399 will buy you a seat on the Froyo tablet bandwagon, a very glossy 10-inch seat with 1024 x 600 resolution.

Sony ships 4.1 million PlayStation Move controllers to retailers


A little press release from none other than Sony informed us this morning that the company has shipped 4.1 million PlayStation Move controllers worldwide. Alas, that number has been widely misreported as the tally of direct end-user sales, which it most definitely is not. What Sony's letting us know is total wands that have left its warehouses on their way to retailers, a number that's one step removed from actual sales results. Still, if you simply must have something to compare against Microsoft's 2.5 million Kinect sales, there you have it.

SNSD introduces new line dance concept in Shibuya

LG Star leaks, blows benchmarking out the water with Tegra 2

The LG Star has shown up in the wild, one of what’s likely to be the first wave of NVIDIA Tegra 2 powered Android smartphones. Ostensibly just another big-screen handset, what makes the Star interesting is its Quadrant benchmarking scores, run by tipster berryjuice at Android Forums, and which comfortably blow away rival devices with a 1759 rating.



Given NVIDIA’s emphasis on multimedia with Tegra 2, there’s unsurprisingly an HDMI port on the Star. Meanwhile there’s a WVGA capacitive touchscreen and a customized version of Android 2.2 Froyo, though of course there’s no word on what version the Star will run when it eventually launches.

We can hope that’s Gingerbread, the release of which is believed to be imminent, and which will hopefully bring further speed improvements to get the most out of the Star. Other hardware specifications are in short supply, as are release dates and price.
