Tom Cruise looks happier than ever as he poses with leading ladies Cameron Diaz and Katie Holmes at Knight And Day world premiere

They say variety is the spice of life.

So it's no wonder Tom Cruise looked like the cat that got the cream as he posed at the world premiere of his new film Knight And Day in Seville, Spain, with both his blonde co-star Cameron Diaz and brunette wife Katie Holmes last night.


Both stars looked stunning in their outfits - with Diaz opting for a ruched black one-shouldered dress, and Holmes going for the innocent look in a white dress with tiered skirt and gladiator heels

Cruise, who was dressed more casually in dark jeans, a white shirt and a blazer, grinned broadly as he posed first with Katie and then inside with Diaz.

She’s only 17, but America’s Most Famous Teenager already has two tattoos — and those are only the ones we can see. That Miley Cyrus sure is growing up fast!


Last year, the Hannah Montana star had the words “Just Breathe” inked on her rib cage in tribute to a friend who died of cystic fibrosis. Now Miles’ gone for something far more visible – the word “LOVE” etched on her ear.

50% Of Android Phones Now Running OS 2.1

6/17/2010 06:17:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Every few weeks, Google’s Android team updates their Platform Versions page that breaks down how many Android devices are running each version of the OS, based on data from the official Android Market. Today’s it’s reached a big milestone: exactly 50% of Android phones are running 2.1, the latest officially released version of Android (2.2, or Froyo, went live for a small number of users last month, but has not officially been deployed on a wide scale).

This is a big change since early May, when only 32.4% of phones were running 2.1. Since then, a number of older phones have been upgraded, and the new Sprint Evo and some other newer devices run it as well.

Still Really Want An iPhone 4? Find $5,000, Head To eBay

6/17/2010 06:17:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

As you may have heard, Apple completely blew through its pre-order launch day iPhone 4s in less than a day (and that was despite major technical issues with the ordering process). It has now blown through the second wave (due in early July) as well. The current shipping estimate if you order right now is July 14. Ugh. But if you absolutely want one at or around launch day, the Internet, as always, provides an option.

Scanning eBay right now, there are roughly 400 iPhone 4s for sale (between the 16 GB and 32 GB models). Sure, the device isn’t out yet, but people are willing to part with the device as soon as they get it on June 24. The question is: how much do you have to pay to get them to part with it? Currently, the cheapest ones are going for $550 — and that’s the $199 16 GB model. The cheapest 32 GB model? $799 — a full $500 over the $299 retail price.

Both of those are bargains compared to what some people are selling them for. Want the iPhone 4 hand delivered to you by June 27? That will cost you $5,000. Yes, $5,000 for one iPhone. At least 50 other people are offering to sell theirs for $1,000 or more.

And this is just two days after the initial pre-sale. As the expected ship date continues to get pushed back, these prices are going to get much more ugly. By the time launch day hits and people have them in their hands, don’t be surprised if many of these new iPhones sell for thousands of dollars.

Jolin Tsai says she's "not crazy yet" on getting back together with Jay Chou

6/17/2010 06:16:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Of course we can’t go on another day without more updates and reactions on the front-page worthy Double J reunion. As a real life reunion looking increasingly possible, Jolin Tsai took matters into her own hands and answered everyone's question on her blog, “I’m not crazy yet! I’m only crazy about performing!”



The much talked about event has been heavily scrutinized by fans and the media. Many fans who attended the first two nights of Jay Chou's concert are complaining that they missed out on the big “show”. Meanwhile, the media suspects it was a publicity stunt, as well as a move to save Jay Chou’s image after the Monkey-girl scandal. The singer and his company denied such claims and said they have no intention of exploiting Jolin Tsai.

Angela Chang to replace Ariel Lin in Extravagant Challenge?!

6/17/2010 06:16:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Three years ago, Ariel Lin accepted the female lead role to GTV’s upcoming drama “Extravagant Challenge,” based on the highly popular manga, Skip Beat!. But due to some high-level changes that went on with their Japanese partner, the script not only had to be reworked, the male lead also changed from Jerry Yan to Wu Chun, and most recently, rumored to be Super Junior’s Dong Hae and Siwon. Despite all that was happening, Ariel was still confirmed for the drama, but recent rumors surfaced that Angela Chang is also interested in taking the female lead role for the drama.


Ariel’s debut drama, “True Love 18,” and her most recognized drama, “It Started With A Kiss,” are both from GTV. Ariel and GTV have always worked closely, and she even won the Golden Bell’s best actress award for “They Kiss Again.” Just days ago, Ariel has been confirmed to film the Taiwan version of “Coffee Prince.” Due to this, GTV worries that there will be “too much Ariel Lin”, as well as scheduling conflicts (if she films both dramas). Thus, some staff members suggested Angela Chang for the role instead, who has also done quite well in drama ratings.

Opera 10.60 Beta Lands, Brings More Speed, Geolocation And WebM Support

6/17/2010 06:15:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


Fresh off the heels of the release of Safari 5, Norwegian software company Opera is today launching version 10.60 of its desktop browser. And yes, they promise it’s faster. Much faster. Like ’50% faster than its predecessor on selected JavaScript tests’ faster.

Opera 10.60 (beta) also boasts a fresh UI, geolocation support and WebM support for HTML5 video, so it isn’t all about the need for speed. Although the company does place a lot of emphasis on the notion that it’s supposed to be lightning fast.

Which calls for some high-level speed testing, if anyone is up for it.

Why I’m *Not* a Fanboy

6/17/2010 06:15:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

What makes TechCrunch a property that attracts some 10 million unique users a month is diversity. We cover tech single-mindedly but from a lot of different perspectives. So it’s from that stance that I’m writing this post.

I have a confession to make: With all due respect to my colleague Mr. Siegler—who I should say writes more posts, drives more page views and hence creates way more value for this site than I do—I am not a fanboy.

I have no problem championing a business – even an unsexy or unpopular one. When I was at BusinessWeek I was one of the first people to write about a lot of Silicon Valley companies like Facebook, Yelp, and Digg, and over the last two years I’ve written here about even more unknown companies from around the world that I think have a shot at building something big and making the world a better place. That’s what I love about my job, and why I’ve done it for more than ten years.

But that’s not being a fanboy. I just can’t get excited about a stunning product if it doesn’t solve a core problem or make some sort of business sense. Product for sheer product sake is writing about technology in a vacuum.

Orange Caramel releases Magic Girl MV

Having released their first mini album earlier, Pledis Entertainment has now released the MV for Orange Caramel’s title track, Magic Girl and it features a surprise cameo by CNBlue’s Minhyuk in his stage outfit.

With a Candy Culture concept, the After School members of Raina, Nana and Lizzy have certainly pulled off the image excellently. With a super bubbly tune which sounds like it was made for an anime or J-Pop, they certainly look outright cute.
