Remembering Michael Jackson One Year Later

Tomorrow (Friday, Some Places Today) marks the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, and perspective is a funny thing. For some, his eccentricities and scandals have fallen behind louder, happier memories of his music and flair. For others, not so much.

"In death, Michael achieved something he could not in life -- a washing away of the controversies that dogged him and a unity of appreciation for his talent and legacy," David Perel, creator and executive vice president of RadarOnline.com, tells PopEater. "There is a much greater recognition of his role as a family man and devoted father. Much of his music has been rediscovered and a new appreciation for the artist and his immense talent has emerged."

We took to the streets of New York City to find out how the public remembers the King of Pop a year after he left us.

Red Carpet Quotes: Stars Spill at Eclipse Premiere

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is finally here, and E! staked out the red carpet tonight at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre.


Here's what all the castmembers and celebs had to say as they hit the biggest premiere of the year:

"R.Pattz fever is a lot louder than George Clooney fever. The younger girls are a little louder."
—Anna Kendrick on whose fans are more intense, Rob's or George Clooney's

"In like five years or 10 years, we'll have a much better perspective on what happened and what's happening, and then we'll give much better interviews. Right now, I don't know what to say except I can't believe it."
—Nikki Reed on what she thinks of the phenomenal Twilight success

Box office preview: 'Knight & Day' and 'Grown Ups' are no match for 'Toy Story 3'

From the looks of it, Fox is determined to score a hit with their Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz-starrer Knight & Day. Not only has the studio has spent gobs of money selling the romantic spy caper, but they also moved up its opening to Wednesday in order to get ahead of Adam Sandler’s big summer comedy Grown Ups. But will any of it work? Reviews have been mixed, and with a debut of $3.8 million yesterday, it’s quite possible Tom Cruise’s return to the summer blockbuster may only generate a bronze medal in this weekend’s race to the finish. Grown Ups, in contrast, is likely to do the kind of business Sony and Sandler are used to doing together when Sandler goes right down the middle with his comedies. Still, the movie everyone is talking about — Toy Story 3 — will take the top spot for the second weekend in a row. The Pixar flick, which has earned over $43 million additional dollars during the week, will likely drop around 40 percent its second weekend in theaters. Read on for my predictions.

Apple Acknowledges iPhone 4 Reception Issues, Says Don't Hold It Like That


So, we just spoke with Apple and got the straight dirt on the reception issues that have been plaguing users today... and it's a little surprising. In essence, Apple cops to the fact there are reception issues with the new iPhone -- namely, that if you cover the bottom-left corner of the phone and bridge the gap between the notch there with your naked flesh, you could see some signal degradation. Yes, you read that right: it's not a software or production issue, simply a matter of the physical location of your hand in regards to the phone's antenna. The company's suggested fix? Move your hand position, or get a case which covers that part of the phone, thus breaking contact. As you can see in the email above which just arrived in our tip box, this is a sentiment which runs pretty high at the company. Here's the official statement:

Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.

iPhone 4 Test Notes: FaceTime

Videocalling has been a sci-fi staple for decades. From 2001 to Back to the Future people chatting face-to-face from great distances was a way of saying "Hey, look, it's the future!" So does Facetime mean we're in the future?


FaceTime is Apple's stab at making videocalling a reality. They're certainly not the first: European and Asian phones have been able to do this for years, and the HTC Evo can do it quite handily. But Apple is pushing it hard at the mainstream with the iPhone 4.

Making a call on FaceTime is very cool, at first. You see who you're talking to! You talk about what you are doing, that being using a videocalling system built right into a phone. How cool! You can do neat things like flick the little thumbnail of yourself from corner to corner and flip between the front and back cameras. It's just neat.

Super Junior’s follow-up track No Other released!; Kangin participated in Super Junior’s repackaged album


Just a few days ago, it was revealed that Super Junior would be ending their BONAMANA promotions this week only to start their follow-up promotions with a follow-up track in their upcoming repackaged album set to release on the 28th.

Today, Super Junior’s follow-up track titled No Other is finally released! The track has a different atmosphere then BONAMANA as it has more of a mellow and R&B feel that make you feel happy. Listen below and enjoy the song (low quality).

Rainie Yang and Wu Chun bonding just fine for latest idol drama


When boy band Fahrenheit’s Wu Chun was cast as the lead actor for the upcoming Taiwanese drama “Sunshine Angel 陽光天使” alongside Taiwanese pop princess Rainie Yang, many thought that the shy, reserved, and cool-natured Wu Chun would make an incompatible coupling with the passionately zany and attention-loving Rainie. Yet once the two famous Taiwanese entertainers embarked to Shanghai for the filming of their new idol drama, their acting took on an authentic air of sweetheart romance during shooting, and their professional relationship off camera has been remarkably warm. The duo has often been seen chatting and laughing together on the set, and not only have they been eating together frequently, but they also have flirtatious arguments and give off an affectionate vibe

Miley Cyrus: "I Hate Vampires"


Thank goodness Miley Cyrus isn't on Twitter anymore. If she was, she'd probably be hearing from a lot angry of Twilight fans, just like Emma Roberts did when she announced she was Team Jacob.

What's up with Miley? Read on to find out what she recently told us...

Cyrus makes no bones about it. "I hate vampires," she says.

So no Edward and Bella for her. But what about the more risqué, not-very-tame True Blood?

Probably not gonna happen, either.

"What channel is that on?" she asks when we urge her to check out the hit bloodsucking HBO show.

"We don't have HBO," she said, adding that her mom only gets "about 10 channels" at their house. "So we don't watch a lot of TV. We don't know what's on. All we have is like the Disney Channel and Nick at Nite because my sister is only 10 years old."

Jennifer Aniston: It's (Not Even Close to) Baby Time!

Slow news week? Check.

Fake Jennifer Aniston baby news? Check!


DO NOT BUY OK! Magazine. Please. Save your money, and send a message to the celebrity gossip publication's editors that they need to work a little harder.

Seriously, you'd think by the 12th time of fabricating Jennifer Aniston’s "baby plans," they'd at least try to think of some NEW lies to vaguely relay to us ...

The mag hilariously promises a sneak peek at an interview "everybody is going to be talking about." What is there to talk about, other than it's completely untrue?

On Farts and Nudity: Eclipse Stars Talk Tent Scene

It's the most famous scene in Eclipse, perhaps even in the entire Twilight Saga: Bella, Edward and Jacob all end up in a single tent, as the former snuggles up to the latter and...

... we don't wanna ruin it for anyone that hasn't read the book.


But Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart sat down with the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly and discussed putting these words on screen.

Shooting the scene took two days, Lautner said, referring to it as "my favorite, because it’s the first time Edward and Jacob are actually able to connect and understand each other."
