Christina Aguilera “You Lost Me” VIDEO


It’s a happy Thursday for devoted fans of pop powerhouse Christina Aguilera. This morning, the embattled singing superstar rolled out the buzzed-about video promo for “You Lost Me,” the power ballad featured on her latest album, Bionic.

Director Anthony Mandler, who wrote the treatment for the vid, explained the concept in a chat with PopEater last week: “From the first keys of the opening of the track, we know that we are about to watch something that is going to move and transform us. In the end, we’ve traveled through Christina’s world. One that is physical, mental and spiritually charged. Nothing is what it seems. Everything is fractured and evolving, falling away … fragile…”

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Accept Damages from Newspaper

The parent company behind Britain's News of the World will pay an undisclosed sum to settle a lawsuit against the newspaper by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie that claimed the two were legally separating and had negotiated custody arrangements.

On Thursday, the couple's lawyer said in London's High Court that Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers accepted that its published allegations were "false and intrusive," reports the BBC.

In January, when the suit was filed, the couple's attorney, Keith Schilling, stated: "We can confirm unequivocally ... that the allegations published by the News of the World are false as well as intrusive."

Among the evidence in the case was a statement from the divorce lawyer reputedly cited in the original story. "I have never met. … your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm," said his statement.

Pitt and Jolie, who this week were attending premieres for her new movie Salt, did not appear in court. Their attorney said News of the World would publish an apology and pick up Pitt and Jolie's legal costs and pay damages, which the couple intend to donate to their charitable Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Apple moving through iPad, iPhone 4 waiting lists? Could sell 1,000,000 devices


One of our Apple sources has been communicating some internal Apple information to us, and from what we’ve been told, this weekend could be big. Currently, if you go to an Apple retail store and can’t find an iPad or iPhone 4, Apple will offer the ability to reserve one for you. These are “Priority Lists” and contain your name and information in addition to the specific device and configuration you want. These lists allow Apple to determine how to manage their channel inventory or possibly ramp up on production. Here’s the big news we’ve been told… Apple is apparently incredibly interested in clearing out these waiting lists, and if our tipster is correct, they’re aiming to do it by this weekend. We have been told that stores have lists that could be anywhere from 500 to 1500 or more customers waiting for iPhones, and anywhere from 250 to 750 customers waiting for iPads. Apparently all Apple stores have asked employees for an “all hands on deck” approach this weekend, somewhat similar to that of Apple product launch days. We have even been informed that Apple stores might open early on Sunday to accommodate extra traffic. Lastly, our source let us know that clearing out these lists could result in the sale of up to an additional 500,000 to 1,000,000 iOS devices in just a few short days.

Microsoft “Be What’s Next” tagline revealed at MGX

Microsoft has used its MGX conference to launch a new tagline for the company, “Be What’s Next”, and they’ve illustrated it with some slick new logos that, sadly, won’t be seeing a public release. Engadget spotted a promo from the event on YouTube – since pulled, though they grabbed a copy which you can see after the cut – and have since been contacted by Microsoft to confirm that the tagline is indeed something they’re going forward with.



Unfortunately, while Microsoft’s logos probably are overdue for a refresh, the company has no plans to use these squiggles to do that. They’re “a standalone treatment to show the flexibility of joined brands” apparently, and something thrown together just for MGX.

iPhone helps AT&T earnings jump 26 percent

A record 3.2 million iPhone activations helped boost AT&T's second-quarter earnings 26 percent year over year and prompted the company to increase its outlook for the full year.

On Thursday, the carrier reported earnings of $4 billion compared with $3.2 billion in the prior year's quarter. Sales inched up 0.6 percent to $30.8 billion from a year ago.

The company attributed the surge in earnings to the 3.2 million iPhone activations during the quarter, with around 27 percent of those from customers new to AT&T. Preorders of Apple's iPhone 4 were 10 times higher the first day than those for the iPhone 3GS a year earlier, AT&T added.

The carrier also saw fewer people exiting its service, with its churn rate shrinking to a record low of 1.29 percent from 1.48 percent a year ago. Overall, it added 1.6 million wireless subscribers during the quarter to reach a total of 90.1 million customers, a 13 percent gain over a year ago.

Taylor Swift 'Dating' Toby Hemingway?

Toby starred in Taylor’s latest video for A Rose to the Fallen and we hear they hit it off immediately.

There’s a bit of an age difference between the two, Taylor is 20, Toby is 27.

The photo to the right is a still shot taken from Taylor’s new video, Toby posted it on his Facebook page. Hint, hint!

Will Toby Hemingway and Taylor Swift last? This remains to be seen, but they do make an adorable couple!

New Taylor Momsen Video: Too Racy For Her Age?

Taylor Momsen says she's not Miley f'ing Cyrus.

The two seem to have a similar urge to let their inner bad girls loose, however. Like the Hannah Montana pioneer, this is one Gossip Girl star who can't be tamed!


Taylor's band, The Pretty Reckless, just released a music video for their song "Miss Nothing," and, like Miley, she's already being criticized for being too risque.

She's 16 going on 17 (Monday), but she looks like she's 16 going on 30 in this video, which can be unintentionally funny, edgy, lame and sexy at the same time.

Okay, nix that last part. It's not sexy. Sixteen. So wrong. We're curious to hear what you think, though. Check out the "Miss Nothing" video below

AT&T order 8m Windows Phone 7 handsets?

While our opinion of Windows Phone 7 was somewhat mixed, it looks like AT&T are a whole lot more enthusiastic about the new smartphone OS. According to Altimeter Group analyst and SlashGear columnist Michael Gartenberg, a trusted source has revealed that AT&T has apparently signed up for eight million Windows Phone 7 devices ahead of its holiday season launch.


The specific manufacturers of the AT&T devices are unknown – LG, HTC and Samsung are among the crowd we know are working on handsets running the new Microsoft OS – as is the timescale over which the carrier expects to be selling them. Gartenberg also believes that the AT&T deal isn’t a Windows Phone 7 exclusive, which is probably a good thing from Microsoft’s perspective if they want to catch up with the market saturation of rival smartphone OSes.
