Is it the end of the road for American Idol?


Tipsters tell Star Magazine that next year’s 10th season of Idol will be its last.

Simon Cowell’s departure from the long-running reality competition is reportedly behind its demise. Everyone involved with the program is in agreement that Idol cannot continue successful with Simon headlining a US edition of UK hit The X Factor — and former judge Paula Abdul possibly joining him, the tabloid claims.

Don't expect Jesse James and Sandra Bullock to reconcile any time soon.

"Knowing the kind of person she is, I'd be shocked if she contemplated going back to him," a pal of the actress, 45, tells the new issue of Us Weekly as a fourth woman comes forward claiming an affair with James, 40.

Finding out that her husband of nearly five years cheated on her "is probably one of the most devastating pieces of information she’s ever gotten," Bullock’s close friend and longtime costumer Joel Voorhies tells UsMagazine.com.

Seconds another insider, "It's as bad as when her mom died in 1997. She just can't look at him and can't talk to him."

Bullock reportedly returned to Los Angeles Tuesday night after hiding out in Austin, Tex., according to unconfirmed Internet reports.

Fox's '24' winds down to its end

3/27/2010 12:22:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

Fox has officially stopped the clock on 24.


The network announced Friday it has canceled the series, as first reported by USA TODAY. A victim of higher costs and declining ratings, 24 will end its run when the current eighth season concludes this spring.

Star Keifer Sutherland says he's "really nostalgic and really sad" at the show's demise. But executive producer Howard Gordon says the cast and crew agreed the time was right, as the show's real-time format became limiting: "We've really had what feels like our last day."

What Happens When Apple Passes Microsoft In Value? Yes, When.

3/27/2010 12:22:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 2 Comments

Apple’s stock is up over $3 today, pushing it past the $230-a-share mark. Microsoft’s is down $0.25, pushing it below the $30-a-share mark. While this discrepancy is huge on the surface, it doesn’t mean all that much because there are many, many more outstanding shares of Microsoft stock out there on the market (ten times more, in fact). That’s why Microsoft’s market cap is higher than Apple’s, despite the individual stock price difference. But that market cap gap is closing. Quickly.

Apple looks poised to get within $50 billion of Microsoft market cap any day now. Currently, Apple’s market cap is $208.76 billion, while Microsoft’s is $261.01 billion. And while $50 billion may seem like a huge chasm, consider that since December 31, 2009, just a few months ago, Apple has added about $20 billion to its market cap, while Microsoft has lost about $10 billion. Again, the gap is closing, quickly.

Things are even more insane when you look at the data from a decade ago. Back then, Microsoft’s market cap was nearly $590 billion. It was the most valuable company in the world — by far (#2, GE, was over $100 billion behind). Apple, meanwhile, had a market cap of just $16 billion at the time. It was the 339th most valuable company in the world, two spots behind Volkswagen.

Jobs and Schmidt : Maybe they don’t hate each other?

3/27/2010 12:21:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt, whose companies have just ended their love affair, were spotted minutes ago talking business at Calafia in the Town and Country shopping center in Palo Alto.

Our tipster saw em and snapped these shots, and noted that the cafe is owned and operated by former Google chef Charlie Ayers. Overheard from the conversation were two lines by Jobs. Enthusiastically, "They're going to see it all eventually so who cares how they get it." Which seemed to be about web content, said the tipster. And, "Let's go discuss this somewhere more private," after they noticed the crowd gathering around. I think that was probably a wise move. Schmidt was very quiet, listening, and Jobs was doing a lot of the talking. What do you make of the body language? And what's that black thing on the table? Update: No, it's not an iPad. It's a menu. Tipster says the first thing he looked for was an iPad, and that isn't it.

iPad App Store revealed?

Still a week from the official debut of the Apple iPad, one blog appears to have turned up screenshots of the device's version of the App Store.


App Annie, an analytics site that monitors mobile applications, says it stumbled upon a feed that contained the image of the home page of the iPad's App Store interface.

It's interesting in that it shows listings for quite a few apps already, many of which are games. It looks a lot like the iPad version of the App Store and iTunes Store Steve Jobs walked through during his demonstration of the iPad at the January iPad introduction event.

HTC Desire Unboxing [Video]

3/27/2010 12:20:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

While the HTC Legend was a shiny, unibody wonder, the undoubtable star of Mobile World Congress last month was the HTC Desire. Instantly dubbed “the Nexus One with Sense”, the Android 2.1 smartphone has just arrived on the SlashGear doorstep demanding its unboxing video privileges. Who are we to turn down a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 5-megapixel camera? Check out the unboxing, plus a first-look comparison with the Nexus One, after the cut.


While HTC are responsible for the industrial design of both handsets, the Desire feels significantly different in the hand to the Nexus One. That’s predominantly down to the rubberised back cover, rather than the Google phone’s metal panel. It’s soft-touch and all very nice, but the Desire does end up losing some of the Nexus One’s waifish charm. Still, an improvement is the optical trackpad, which is just as responsive as the trackball (if not more so), and the hardware buttons which have none of the accuracy issues Nexus One owners have encountered with that phone’s capacitive keys.

Miley Cyrus on Ditching Music: "I've Got a Record Coming Out in June and Then I'm Done"

3/27/2010 12:19:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Miley Cyrus isn't joking around when she says it's time for her to move on from the music biz.

She recently revealed on The View that she's become a bit disheartened because "the music industry isn't as positive as I'd like it to be."

She didn't backtrack at all when I caught up with her last night at the Hollywood premiere of The Last Song…

"I've got a record coming out in June and then I'm done," she said. "I just want to work in movies. That's what I like and that's what I want to be doing."

The Last Song, opening March 31, is Cyrus' first major acting project outside of Hannah Montana.

Not only does the flick's director, Julie Anne Robinson, have high hopes for Cyrus, but so does her costar and real-life beau Liam Hemsworth. He says he wasn't surprised when Cyrus held her own during the movie's more dramatic scenes.

"You know how she feels when she's feeling down and you know how she feels when she's feeling up," he said. "She's a very expressive person and that works on the screen. It really does, and she's really good."
