Angelina Jolie Earned $1 Million More Than Jen Aniston Last Year

2/04/2010 01:15:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Angelina Jolie bests Jennifer Aniston -- again.

Jolie, 34, out earned Aniston, 40, in 2009, according to Vanity Fair's "Hollywood's Top 40" list (in the March issue).

Jolie came in at No. 32 on the list by making $21 million last year; $20 million of that for her action thriller, Salt, which doesn't even hit theaters until next July. She made an extra mil in royalties from other films, the mag estimates.

Aniston isn't too far behind at No. 31. She earned $20 million last year, but had to do a lot more work. VF says she made $8 million each for The Bounty Hunter (with Gerard Butler) and The Baster. She banked $3 million for 2008's Marley & Me thanks to back-end earnings of its $243 million worldwide gross and DVD sales, and $1 million from He's Just Not That Into You.

(Jolie didn't always rake in more dough than Aniston. In 2008, Forbes estimated she earned $27 million largely thanks to Marley & Me, while Jolie made $14 million.)

Both ladies are far ahead of Brad Pitt, who came in dead last on the list with $13.5 million.

Speaking of Oscars, Where Is Tom Cruise's?

2/04/2010 01:15:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Now that this year's kinda ho-hum Oscar noms have been announced, let's think of ways to sex up the damn awards in the future and perhaps prevent this yawn-worthy spread from ever happening again.

Plus, it could help save Tom Cruise's career at the same time!

Oh, and before I tell you how, can someone please explain to me why some red-hot mama wasn't chosen to cohost this year's show with Alec Baldwin, instead of pasty Steve Martin?

I know Alec's pasty, too, but, he's sexy pasty, Steve's just...pasty. Why the hell wasn't Jennifer Aniston or arch nemesis Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Hudson chosen? Yeah, I really wanna look at two bloated dudes who haven't done crunches since Lady Gaga dressed normally.

Anyway, back to how we're going to wake up the Oscars and Tom Cruise's career:

Tom needs to play gay.

Just ask Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote), Tom Hanks (Philadelphia), Sean Penn (Milk) and myriad other dudes who have been gifted with Oscar acclaim and glitter, after they were deemed brave enough to take on playing a homosexual. I'm telling you, if you're a woman and you play a hooker, you get dusted with Oscar gold, and if you're a guy, it's the same thing if you take on the fagola stuff.

Sources Say Taylor Swift and John Mayer Are 'Definitely' Something

2/04/2010 01:14:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

John Mayer is known for dating beautiful women -- and clearly doesn't discriminate on their ages. The 32-year-old rocker, who was previously involved with 40-year-old Jennifer Aniston, is now rumored to be dating Taylor Swift, 20.

"Taylor and John are absolutely more than 'just friends,'" a source tells Hollywoodlife

"They aren't 'boyfriend and girlfriend' or anything as provincial as that, but they have taken their friendship to the next level," the source adds.

Rumors about the pair have been floating around for a few weeks. And the Grammy-winning Swift doesn't mind.

"I try not to be a complainer, you know?" she told Usmagazine about the reports.

Warner Confirms 'Harry Potter,' 'Titans,' and Others to be in 3D

2/04/2010 01:14:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

Along with Warner Bros. announcing plans to mine DC Comics for more feature film releases thanks to their financial success, they have also released information regarding which of their upcoming films will be released in headache inducing three dimensions.


The most anticipated films to be given the 3D treatments are Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I. Rumors had been swirling around the two films being given the in-your-face treatment, but while it seemed fairly likely that Harry Potter would be released with it, the relatively close release date of Clash on April 2 brought that film's 3D conversion into question. The film was not originally intended to be released in 3D, so it will have to undergo a post-production conversion, which is fairly more expensive than if had originally been intended to be that way from the beginning. There wasn't any word about whether The Deathly Hollows: Part II, the second and final part of Warners' adaptation of the book, but it's safe to say that, if the first film is, the second film logically will be, too.

HTML vs. Flash: Can a turf war be avoided?

2/04/2010 01:13:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

A difference of opinion among developers has become a high-profile debate over the future of the Web: should programmers continue using Adobe Systems' Flash or embrace newer Web technology instead?

The debate has gone on for years, but last week's debut of Apple's iPad--which like the iPhone doesn't support Flash--turned up the heat. Before that, Adobe had been saying with some restraint that it's happy to bring Flash to the iPhone when Apple gives the go-ahead.

But Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch took the gloves off Tuesday with a blog post that said Apple's reluctance to include Flash on its "magical device" means iPad buyers will effectively see a crippled Web. And he played the Google Nexus One card, too.

Will your new Windows 7 PC support XP Mode?

2/04/2010 01:13:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Last May, a few months before Windows 7 was released to manufacturing, I looked at the then-current crop of CPUs available for business PC buyers and identified a potential sticking point: Some of the most popular Intel CPUs available at the time didn’t support hardware-assisted virtualization (HAV). That made them incompatible with the newly announced Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, a crucial compatibility feature in Windows 7.

The problem is that Windows Virtual PC requires hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT for Intel CPUs, AMD-V for AMD processors). And the late-2008/early-2009 CPU lineup from Intel was notoriously inconsistent in its support for VT.

So, is that issue still a sticking point for corporate customers considering a Windows 7 upgrade in 2010? My quick survey of the current PC market says you’re much less likely to run into virtualization problems today, but at most online shopping sites you’ll have a hard time finding details about virtualization support for specific models. Here’s a recap:

Gmail to drop IE6 support this year

Microsoft supports rival's call to abandon creaky browser

Google will suspend Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) support for its Gmail and Calendar services later this year, the company said today.

The move will come at some point after March 1, when Google will start scaling back IE6 support for Google Docs and Google Sites. Google announced that decision on Friday, two weeks after the company admitted that hackers had breached its network and stolen information.

"We plan to stop supporting older browsers for the rest of the Google Apps suite, including Gmail, later in 2010," a Google spokesman confirmed today.

On Google's no-support list along with IE6 are Mozilla's Firefox 2.0, Apple's Safari 2.0 and Google's own Chrome 3.0.

On Tuesday, administrators of Google Apps accounts received e-mail from Google that informed them of the phasing out of IE6 support for Docs and Sites, and told them of similar steps for Gmail and Google Calendar. "Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar," the e-mail read.

The Google spokesman declined to provide a specific timetable for dropping IE6 support for Gmail and Calendar.

Coming back with her 4th album within this 2 months, it has been known that there is high possibility that sexy queen Lee Hyori’s comeback title song may be a foreign song.


A representative revealed recently, “It is likely that we will use a foreign song for Lee Hyori’s new album title song. The songs written by the composers who worked with Lee Hyori for the album are said to be not what Hyori is looking for, hence it seems that it has been decided that a foreign song with a new style will be chosen as the title song.”
