Jennifer Lopez looks ready for business as she arrives for American Idol

She's there to judge the singing talents of fans eager to follow in her footsteps. But any American Idol hopefuls expecting an easy ride from Jennifer Lopez look set to be disappointed. The singer turned up for auditions yesterday looking ready for business, in an outfit seemingly inspired by a no-nonsense secretary.


Adding to the the look she had a matching stern expression. Jennifer, who is making her debut as a judge this season, wore a flounced grey jacket and black high heeled shoes, teamed with a clutch bag. Luckily Jennifer, whose fellow judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler were also spotted at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles, was a lot softer in person.

Lindsay Lohan and 'Dancing With the Stars': Is It Going to Happen?

To waltz or not to waltz... According to RadarOnline.com, Lindsay Lohan is currently in secret talks with 'Dancing With the Stars' to join next season's cast.

"Lindsay has been talking with the DWTS people," a source close to the actress exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "She is definitely interested and considering being on the show."

The website reports the 'Mean Girls' actress is still in treatment and her team at Betty Ford fully supports the idea.

"Lindsay's treatment team thinks 'Dancing With the Stars' would be a perfect transition back to work for her. She would have a set schedule everyday, would be occupied and would be very productive. Lindsay wanted their approval before proceeding in talks with the producers and she got it," said the source.

The producers of the dance competition show have wanted Lohan to star for a while. "'Dancing with the Stars' producers have had Lindsay on their wish list of cast mates for a very long time," a source told RadarOnline.com.

But GossipCop.com is reporting Lohan isn't anywhere near starring on the show. In fact, her rep told the website, "Lindsay Lohan is not doing 'Dancing with the Stars.' The story is false."

Only time will tell whether or not we'll see Lohan dancing around the PR-friendly stage in a sparkly, sequined dress!

Andy Rubin: over 300,000 Android phones activated daily


Cast your mind back to the ancient time that was this August and you'll recall Eric Schmidt telling you, with no lack of pride, that 200,000 Android phones were being sold each and every day. Skip past Steve Jobs' snide remarks about what's included in that tally, and fast-forward to today, where Andy Rubin is blowing minds with the latest, very nicely rounded, total: 300,000 daily activations. Yes, in spite of being the most fragmented thing this side of our 10-year old hard drives, the Android OS just keeps growing at an exponential rate. So Steve, any comment on today's data? Were they counting it wrong?

Jessica Biel joins the cast of 'New Year's Eve'

Actress Jessica Biel is joining the all-star cast of the ensemble romantic comedy New Year’s Eve, a source tells EW.The power-packed lineup of actors on board the follow-up to this year’s Valentine’s Day also includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Ashton Kutcher, Robert De Niro, Lea Michele, Hilary Swank, and Michelle Pfeifer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is also in negotiations to join the cast. The movie follows the romantic ups and downs of a group of New Yorkers over the course of a single New Year’s Eve.

The film begins shooting later this month in New York.

Hacker Leaks Racy Photos of Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera is hitting back after some semi-nude photos of her hit the Internet.

"The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina's personal stylist's account," according to a statement from the singer's rep. "The photos were taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera's home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist."

It's unclear when the pictures were taken, but they show the singer wearing nothing but pasties and a few strands of jewel-encrusted fabric draped over her body.

"We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively," the statement continues. "Their conduct is reprehensible."

Aguilera, who turns 30 Dec. 18, recently filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman. The couple are parents to a 2 ½-year-old son.

iPad 2 Will Have LCD, Not AMOLED Display

The rumors about the second generation iPad are still lingering, while people try to guess what features, and design elements, the next tablet device from Apple will have. The obvious suggestions that the device will feature a USB port, or front- and rear-facing cameras, along with the idea that the next tablet will have a Retina Display, has many people eager to see what Apple unveils in the first half of 2011. But, for those that were hoping that the iPad 2 will have an AMOLED display, it looks like those dreams have been dashed.

At least, if this new report from DigiTimes pans out. According to them, Coretronic will be the main supplier of the second generation iPad’s Back Light Units, or BLUs. What that means, is that there won’t be any AMOLED displays in the iPad 2, as AMOLED doesn’t require any back lighting.

Furthermore, it’s already been suggested that Chimei Innolux and LG have been chosen to crank out the LCD displays for the iPad 2. This news about the supplier for BLUs just drives home the potential fact that the next version of the iPad will feature an LCD panel. That does still leave some room for that whole Retina Display rumor, though.

Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling Together Again!

Ryan Gosling premiered his fab new flick, Blue Valentine, in New York last night, and we know what you're thinking...

It seems like there have been a hundred "premieres" for this movie, but there was one thing—or rather person—last night had that the others did not.

That would be Blake Lively by Ryan's side all night!

As Marc Malkin told you guys yesterday, Blake is starring in a new ad campaign for Chanel (what doesn't this girl get?) and the hottie with a bangin' body flew back from a shoot in Paris in time for last night's screening.

Blake skipped press and the red carpet, but was snapped all smiles as she attempted to go in through a side door (pictured here) at the Museum of Modern Art, where the screening was taking place.

Lively and Gosling were later spotted at the afterparty at the Standard Hotel and apparently weren't too far apart—ever.

Taylor Swift Concert Tickets Sell-Out…In Five Minutes!

Three albums later and Taylor Swift’s still the hottest ticket in town.

Shh! Don’t tell Kanye.

Tickets for dates on Taylor’s upcoming Speak Now Tour are selling out faster than Swifty fans can update their browsers. The singer sold out two shows at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in two minutes and the 68,000-seat Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in five minutes, The Hollywood Reporter said this week. Seven more sell-outs followed, all on the heels of a record-breaking run for her third album Speak Now, which sold over a million copies in its first week of release, making the disc the best debut for an artist in five years.

Concert promoters and ticket vendors haven’t seen this much fan interest in a show since Hannah Montana’s 2007 Best of Both Worlds Tour. Taylor’s tour managers have added additional shows to the tour schedule to accommodate more fans. One more Taylor show has been added at Gillette Stadium on June 26 and the “Love Story” songstress will now take the stage at the Staples Center on Aug. 27 and Aug. 28.

The full Speak Now Tour is expected to touch down in 19 countries for 90 shows set to kick off in Singapore on Feb. 9.

The BlackBerry PlayBook Gets Its Video Close Up


BGR has a video of the BlackBerry PlayBook in action and it looks pretty smooth. The video shows off the Playbook's app multitasking, the general user interface and answers questions on how it'll work with current BlackBerrys.

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the PlayBook. It's definitely more impressive than RIM's CEO, at least.
