Selina Jen hopes to return home this Chinese New Year

The Taiwanese pop star is on the fast track of recovery.

It has been 42 days since Selina and co-star Ham Yu suffered burns due to an on-set accident. The road to recovery had been long and tedious. To keep Selina's anxious fans updated on her condition, Father Jen constantly updates his Weibo with the latest on-goings.

To manage the pain from having her dressings changed, the singer had been previously put on anaesthetic. This affected the use of her lungs significantly. To prevent a lung infection, her doctor has put Selina on breathing exercises with a "tri-flow exercise", apart from her usual pronunciation exercises. The exercise required Selina to lift a tiny ball in a pipe by taking in deep breaths of air, which helps to improve her vital capacity. Instead of the usual 60 times per day, Selina was required to do it 600 times.

Father Jen expressed that he would be watching Selina's progress carefully and mentioned that his daughter is slowly forgetting the incident as she goes through therapy.

According to sources, Selina is still unable to return to stage. However it is possible for her to leave the hospital this coming Chinese New Year, prompting a reunion with her parents, younger sister and fiancé.

In another report, a spokesperson for Ham Yu said there is a possibility of the actor turning up for the countdown event in Guangzhou, if he recovers in time.

TVXQ announces their first single of 2011 for Japan


When it was announced by Avex that TVXQ was going to continue as a unit, there were mixed reactions. There were those who refused to believe that the group was still ‘TVXQ’ because there were only two members left. Many drew reassurance in seeing how the official image on the Avex website still displayed the original five.

Unfortunately, the reality isn’t so neat.

It was announced that TVXQ will be releasing their first single as a two-member unit on January 26th, 2011. While details regarding the title have yet to be released, what is known is that there will be two versions available.

The ‘First Press Limited Edition’ will include two title tracks, as well as two different versions of the songs. A DVD with the title track’s PV and ‘off shoot movie’ will also be included in the package. Only the first press album will have a different jacket, utilizing 1 of 6 random photos. This CD+DVD unit has been priced at ¥1,890 ($22.50 USD).

The ‘Normal Edition’ will include the two title tracks, a remix of the main track, and two different versions of the songs. As an added bonus, the ‘first press’ of this version will have an alternative jacket (1 of 6 photos) and a 12-page booklet. This version will only cost fans ¥1,050 ($12.50 USD).

Title and extras are subject to change, so stay tuned for further updates!

Ann Ward Named America's Next Top Model


This absolutely epic, historic, life-altering cycle 15 finale of America's Next Top Model aired last night.

As over-hyped by Tyra Banks ("Do you understand how serious this is?" she asked. "This is Top Model – elevated."), the concluding episode pitted Ann against Chelsey, as the women competed to earn a spread in Italian Vogue.

In the end, the woman who dominated from the beginning - winning five back-to-back photo challenges - was crowned the season's champion. Our congratulations go out to 19-year old Ann Ward!

"I'm so happy that I can make my parents proud," said the 6'2" model, who endured many taunts about her size and gangly figure. "I won! I can't believe any of this right now."

Can you? Did Ann deserve the title? Visit our friends at TV Fanatic for a far more detailed recap of the America's Next Top Model finale.

Apple Patent Application Suggests Pop-Up Radial Menus Could be Included in iOS 5

We’ve already seen a couple of different patents from Apple this week, and it doesn’t look like the Cupertino-based company is slowing down any time soon. This time around, Apple is focusing on creative aspects and tweaks for their iOS mobile Operating System, which is used every day on devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad tablet device. While the overall look and feel of iOS hasn’t changed much since its inception in 2007, it looks like Apple is looking at adding some interesting changes to the software. Namely, pop-up radial menus for use in the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone.



In this new patent application, Apple is looking at adding radial menus that pop-up when activated. For example, by long-pressing on, say, a picture, would activate a pop-up radial menu that would bring relevant options to the fore, so that the user can activate them quickly and easily. There’s obviously nothing final about this, as it’s just a patent application on the technology that Apple wants to use, as well as the implementation of the technology on a touchscreen display.

RIM Acquires Interface Wizards The Astonishing Tribe


Well isn't this interesting. Today, RIM announced its acquisition of The Astonishing Tribe, the interface gurus who helped shape Android's look in its early stages. Yup, the BlackBerrys of the future just got a whole lot prettier.

In a brief post on the company's official blog, RIM CTO David Yach said he was "excited that the TAT team will be joining RIM and bringing their talent to the BlackBerry PlayBook and smartphone platforms." And if you've seen TAT's vision for how our various screens—like those on our phones and our tablets—might interact with each other in the near future, you're probably excited too. This is excellent news for whatever new OS RIM has on the horizon.

"Absolute Boyfriend" filming on absolute hold as Wu Chun joins Da S and Hangeng for action flick "Da Wu Sheng"


With much fanfare given to Fahrenheit member Wu Chun pairing up with Korean actress Goo Hye-sun for GTV's live action adaptation of Absolute Boyfriend, it looks like fans of this dream idol pairing will have to wait it out for quite some time until the duo's anticipated small screen debut. That's because filming for Absolute has recently been suspended in Taiwan due to Wu Chun filming for martial arts flick Da Wu Sheng in mainland China.

News of Wu Chun filming a new movie since his supporting role in this year's 14 Blades as a handsome pirate-looking bandit has been circulating around for several weeks, but it was not known how Wu Chun's big screen project would interfere with his schedule for his small screen obligations to Absolute until now. Yet the Taiwanese media has already confirmed that Wu Chun will indeed switch out K-drama export Hye-sun for K-pop refugee Han Geng as both Wu Chun and Hangeng will act alongside Barbie Hsu as the leads for next year's Da Wu Sheng.
