Several pictures taken from the filming of Ke$ha's "Take It Off" music video have been unveiled as a preview. From getting down and dirty in glittery sand, the "Tik Tok" hitmaker is seen the photos, courtesy of Eyeprime, cleaning up and striking her best pose in a faux fur coat. There are also images which show her sitting on a motorbike.

Written by Ke$ha along with Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly, "Take It Off" is the fourth single from Ke$ha's debut album "Animal" and released as a follow-up to "Your Love Is My Drug". The accompanying music video is directed by Paul Hunter and Dori Oskowitz. It is expected to be premiered later this month.

'Avatar: Special Edition' packs 8 new minutes: Will you see it?

7/08/2010 11:44:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

James Cameron, honorary dean of the More Is Better School of Blockbuster Studies, has some good news for Avatar fans: He’s releasing a special edition of the movie that boasts eight additional minutes of footage, including “new creatures and action scenes,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie will roll out Aug. 27 on 3-d screens only.

As I mentioned back in January, I’m generally in the once-is-enough camp when it comes to movies like this. But my guess is there are plenty of hardcore fans out there who are already packing their bags for a trip back to Pandora. Even better, the re-release gives you the perfect chance to go with someone who may have missed the whole phenomenon the first time around, like, say, your friend who was undergoing a military experiment in a sensory deprivation chamber for six months, or your maiden aunt who hasn’t been to the theaters since Buena Vista Social Club.

Katy Perry rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart for fifth week in a row

7/08/2010 11:43:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

This is one boring week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Mostly because the first five spots in the top 10 are the same as last week’s. For the fifth straight week, Katy Perry‘s “California Gurls” tops the chart. Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna is No. 2 for it’s second week in a row. Usher‘s “OMG” holds the No. 3 spot, while B.o.B’s “Airplanes” does the same at No. 4. And Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” is No. 5.

The fun starts at No. 6, where newcomer Mike Posner creeps up a spot with “Cooler Than Me.” Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” leaps seven places to No. 7. Drake’s “Find Your Love” seems to have stalled out, dropping two places to No. 8. Jason Derulo’s “Ridin’ Solo” moves up one to No. 9. And Eminem’s “Not Afraid” closes out the top 10.

Album Sales Plummet for Miley Cyrus

7/08/2010 11:43:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Miley Cyrus has been tamed again.

After an incredibly disappointing opening week of sales for "Can't Be Tamed," fans of this young singer said to wait. It's just been a few days, they cried! Give the album time!

A week later, though, the compilation is barely holding a place in the Billboard 200's top 10. With Eminem's "Recovery" still holding strong at number-one (with 313,000 copies sold), Miley's CD fell six places to number-nine, selling just 32,000 copies.

That's an astounding 68% drop-off from last week.

By comparison, Miley's 2008 "Breakout" sold 1.5 million copies and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. There's very little chance "Can't Be Tamed" will achieve half that level of success.

Does this mean Miley has lost a significant amount of her fan base? There's no other way to see it. Numbers speak for themselves.

Perhaps she should go to college, after all. They have marketing classes there.

Rumor: Apple’s 4th generation iPod Touch getting HD video recording and Facetime?

7/08/2010 11:43:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


UK retailer John Lewis, self-admittedly, compiled a list of the “noises we’re hearing from suppliers” and guesstimated the initial specs for the fourth generation iPod Touch. The retailer postulated that the upcoming iPod Touch refresh will feature a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with HD video capability and built-in flash, YouTube uploading, accelerometer, and gyroscope. The portable multimedia device will also reportedly include FaceTime calling over WiFi, which suggests the inclusion of a front-facing camera and iOS 4. If this handful of rumored specs pans out, the next generation iPod Touch may share many of the desirable features of the iPhone 4, a product development pattern that has been observed in the past.

More Windows 8 hints, this time on the virtualization front

7/08/2010 11:42:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Microsoft watchers have combed through a leaked slide deck about Windows 8 over the past couple of weeks for clues about Microsoft’s next version of Windows. A French site, Ma-Config.com, this week unearthed some additional Windows 8 information, as well.

Granted, the new Windows 8 information is “old.” It dates back to March 2009, when ITManager.com published the first part of an interview with Bernard Ourghanlian, Technical and Security Director with Microsoft France. Microsoft may have shifted its Windows plans and priorities considerably since then.

But the interview still contains some telling tidbits about Microsoft’s thinking, regarding desktop virtualization and system updates which may become part of Windows 8. And given the fact that Microsoft officials said last year that systems-management/updating technologies would be key to Windows 8, I’m inclined to think at least some of what Ourghanlian discussed still holds.

(The interview is in French; I’m relying primarily on the English translation generated by Bing Translator, with a few of my own adjustments.)

Wu Chun has not dated for 14 years?!

7/08/2010 11:42:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

The actor also denied rumours that he dated former co-star Ella Chen

You'll think given his looks Wu Chun would not have problems finding a girlfriend, but you may be wrong.

Taiwanese heartthrob Wu Chun was in Okinawa, Japan, to promote his latest idol drama Yang Guang Tian Shi (loosely translated to Angel of Sunshine), which also features singer-actress Rainie Yang.

Yang Guang Tian Shi is a joint collaboration between Taiwan, China and Japan with production costs running up to TWD80m (S$4m). Even with that huge scale, the media still chose to focus on the love lives of the two stars.

Previously rumoured to have dated Taiwanese stars such as Angela Zhang, Ariel Lin and most recently, Ella Chen of girl group S.H.E., Wu Chun revealed to everyone's surprise that he has been single for the past 14 years.

Yet Ella had mentioned in an earlier interview that she still has feelings for a fellow actor she dated when working together on a previous drama, leading reporters to suspect that Wu Chun is the man in question.

Cristiano Ronaldo Names His Baby … Cristiano

7/08/2010 11:41:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Hello, Junior: Cristiano Ronaldo has named his his nearly month-old son – after himself.

The family of the hunky Portuguese soccer superstar tells the weekly Expresso that the baby, born June 17, is named Cristiano.

Ronaldo, 25, and his girlfriend, Russian model Irina Shayk, have been vacationing in New York as word has spread about the birth. The athlete announced the baby's arrival via Facebook and Twitter, neglecting to offer any word about the mother. His management company had no comment.

Expresso reports that little Cristiano weighed 9 lbs., 8 oz., and measured 21 in. at birth.

As the parents spend much of their holiday in such downtown Manhattan hotspots as SoHo House and the Gansevoort Hotel, the baby is in Portugal, being cared for by Ronaldo's mother Dolores, 55, and sister Kátia Aveira – who's been quoted as saying the infant "looks like his father and like me. He has the same eyes."

She also tells Correia da Manha,, "We're very happy. The baby is well, it's healthy and that's what matters."

Samsung Captivate hits AT&T July 18th

7/08/2010 11:40:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

We've just gotten official word that the Captivate -- AT&T's rendition of Samsung's global Galaxy S line of high-end Android phones -- will be available starting Sunday, July 18 for $199 on contract with no rebate required. That pricing is more or less what we'd expected considering that T-Mobile priced the Vibrant the same way -- and if rumors of T-Mobile's launch date bump are true, the Captivate won't be the first kid on the block. Still, all four US nationals are getting this thing in July, which is an extremely impressive Android coup for the boys and girls over at Sammy. Stay tuned for a review just as soon as we can make it happen.
