Happy Birthday, Ashley Tisdale!

Posted by thams | 6:42 AM

She probably won't celebrate in the same way as fellow birthday girl Lindsay Lohan, but Ashley Tisdale turns 25 years old today.

One of our favorite young stars, The Tis got her big break when she landed the role of Sharpay Evans in High School Musical. She anchored all three of those successful big screen hits alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron.

Never one to seek out attention via any of the typical antics of stars her age, Tisdale is in a serious relationship with Scott Speer. She seems like a very nice person, unless you ask Trace Cyrus for his point of view.

In the fall, Ashley will star in a new CW series titled Hellcats. We wish her the best of luck with it and encourage readers to send in birthday wishes now!

While The Twilight Saga may boast an impressive, deep cast, let's face it: this franchise is all about its three main stars.

For that reason, New Moon fell a bit flat, as Robert Pattinson scarcely appeared as Edward and we were left with too much of Bella sitting around and simply pondering her life. Granted, Taylor Lautner took his shirt off a lot, but here's the great news about Eclipse:

Jacob is once again topless most of the time - but he isn't the only one heating up the screen. Having been treated to a screening of Eclipse, we can confirm: it's by far the most action-packed of all three Twilight films, and it's also the best. Here's why:

Bella's internal conflict has external consequences. Jacob or Edward? Edward or Jacob? This love triangle is at the forefront of the film, but it's placed against the backdrop of a centuries-old feud between werewolves and vampires.

This is far more than typical teenage angst; this is Bella needing to make a decision, the ramifications of which will impact all the lives around her. When Jacob and Edward agree to an alliance in order to protect the girl they love, even men in the audience might stand up and cheer. It's exciting, selfless stuff.

New Exclipse Poster

The movie has a sense of humor. Early on, Edward says of Jacob: "Doesn't he own a shirt?" It's a cute, light-hearted wink at the audience and the pop culture phenomenon the franchise has become.

Jacob vs. Edward. Choosing a Team in this rivalry is a necessity for all fans, and Eclipse sets up more of a dichotomy than ever before. At one point, Bella complains that Edward won't "unzip before marriage." Meanwhile, Jacob simply oozes sweat and sex appeal. The former is old school, the latter... well, he's ready to pounce. These differences make Bella's dilemma all the more stark, which makes it that much more interesting to watch.

The tent scene. Trust us.

The flashbacks. Through a series of character flashbacks, we learn how multiple Cullens earned their fangs. Jasper's tale of being a Confederate Major is especially gripping.

Great special effects. The movie climaxes with a showdown between wolves and vampires (and one human, of course) that may not be at the level of Avatar, but it makes tremendous use of CGI. Overall, the action is on par with many summer popcorn flicks.

In the end, it's easy to understand why the Twilight Saga appeals to teenage girls everywhere: two gorgeous guys aren't just in love with Bella, they are willing to do absolutely anything for her. It's the stuff we all dream about.

But Eclipse adds action, adventure and history to that simple storyline. It combines the best elements of the first two films and we strongly recommend it to all readers.

For the record, Miley Cyrus hates pop music, Glee and, of course, pants.

Now, the singer has added something else to her list of disdain. In an interview with E! News last week, the singer said: "I hate vampires."

Naturally, this led the network to speak to members of the Eclipse cast about Miley's comments and they replied as follows:

Taylor Lautner: "She doesn't need to like vampires. As long as she likes werewolves, we're cool."

Peter Facinelli: "I'm not necessarily a huge vampire fan, but I do love the books that Stephenie Meyer created. I love that you don't see fangs. It's not a horror movie by any means."

Another Eclipse PosterMiley in Nashville

Elizabeth Reaser: "I've always been a fan of vampires since I was a little girl. I loved all the Anne Rice books. Maybe Miley's resisting. Maybe they're so popular now that it's annoying or she's sick of seeing us."

Kellan Lutz: "She hasn't met me then. I would change her opinion on that, I'm sure. I have my ways."

Ashley Greene: "That's so unfortunate because I love her new songs... I'm going to sit Miley down and force her to watch Twilight."

While we in the US still have a while to wait for our first MeeGo tablet, one has surfaced in China that may give us a hint as to what we can expect. Cloned in China reports that the Npad was sighted at a software trade event in Dalian City. This slate sports a 10.1” screen, WiFI capability and 3G connectivity, plus a GPS.

Battery life is said to be around 8 hours while working. No word yet on whether or not that takes 3G into account. No information on price has been released yet, but the manufacturer did say that it will be cheaper than the iPad. Hopefully this baby will hit the US and Europe before too long. The NPad is one of the best-looking iPad imitators yet.

This week's red carpet premiere may have been in honor of Eclipse, but screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg took the opportunity to give fans a major tease about Breaking Dawn.

A HOT, SEXY major tease, we should say!

Speaking to Hollywood Life, Rosenberg opened up about Bella and Edward's relationship in the fourth movie. She said:

“I can tell you the sex scenes are going to be sensual and they’re going to be delicious.

They’re going to be everything I would want them to be. They may not be as graphic as some people may want them, but I honestly don’t think graphic translates into hot. I don’t care if it’s PG-13 or R. I just want the hottest sex scene there is and I don’t necessarily think ‘graphic’ is the best way.”

Michael Jackson passed away a year ago today. He was 50. The year that followed has marked a celebration of his life, invigorating legions of fans old and new.

The past 12 months have also made clear that his life was as unusual as his career was successful. Personally and professionally, the icon truly had no peers.

Only Lady Gaga topped Michael Jackson in albums sold in 2009, an indication of his legacy. But the tragic, bizarre details of his demise are equally noteworthy.

On top of the immediate causes of his death, and the role of Dr. Conrad Murray, are lingering questions about how a star so bright fell so far from his past glory.

When it comes to Michael Jackson, truth is stranger than fiction. Here's a look back at some of the scandals and stories THG has covered since June 25, 2009:

Michael in Black and White

R.I.P. Michael Jackson (1958-2009).

June 26, 2009: The coroner rules there was no foul play. More than six months later, however, Dr. Conrad Murray would face involuntary manslaughter charges.

June 30, 2009: Tabloids first report that Jackson's friend, Dr. Arnold Klein, is actually the biological father of his two older children, Prince and Paris Jackson.

July 6, 2009: On the eve of Jackson's memorial service, U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) decries society for glorifying MJ, who he calls a pedophile child molester.

July 24, 2009: Investigators formally begin looking into Dr. Murray's actions, specifically whether he injected Michael with the powerful anesthetic Propofol.

July 27, 2009: Omer Bhatti's mom may also be Blanket's mom; Kai Chase and Grace Rwaramba both give interviews regarding the late singer's final days.

August 1, 2009: Debbie Rowe, the mother of Paris and Prince, is not involved at all. But she's the subject of so many bogus rumors, she files huge lawsuits.

August 9, 2009: Michael's friend Mark Lester says he might be Paris' dad.

August 24, 2009: Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson claims he's MJ's son.

August 31, 2009: Blanket's mother is now rumored to be an unnamed Mexican nurse named Helena, and his father is rumored to be Macaulay Culkin.

November 1, 2009: An alleged autopsy photo is leaked, its validity questionable.

November 18, 2009: Janet Jackson gives her first interviews since her brother died, saying her family was not naive and tried to intervene many times.

January 8, 2010: The LAPD concludes its investigation into Jackson's death.

February 1, 2010: The Grammy Awards honor Michael, with Prince, Paris and Blanket on hand to receive an award on his behalf and make him proud.

February 8, 2010: Katherine Jackson calls Murray a monster and says MJ's death was not natural; Joe and La Toya say the charges aren't enough.

February 9, 2010: Michael's autopsy is released, and as weird as you think.

June 23, 2010: Joe claims Conrad Murray was drinking at a strip club before treating Michael on that fateful day; The doc calls this pure nonsense.

Tiger Woods may have stuck his driver in one too many open bags (if you know what we mean!) - but new evidence proves these extra practice rounds did NOT lead to the one result for which a golfer can never take a mulligan:

A baby.

Over the last couple weeks, Devon James - mistress number... who the heck knows at this point?!? - has claimed to anyone with a microphone that Tiger is the father of her nine-year old son.

She stuck by this statement even after sources confirmed the existence of a DNA test that disproved Woods' paternity. Now, that test has actually been made public.

Giving credit to Kikster.com for breaking the news, TMZ has in its possession documents that say Devon was made aware in 2002 that her son is the child of some dude named Pele Watkins.

Tiger

If there was ever a reason for a fist pump...

In fact, according to science, there's a .001% chance that anyone other than Watkins is the dad. So you can breathe a major sigh of relief, Tiger.

To understand how low those odds are, consider: they are the same as Elin ever taking you back.

Apple is officially releasing the iPhone 4 today in five markets: United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan.
Because of the time difference, Japanese iPhone fans already got their iPhone 4 already in hand. Reuters reports that their have been long lines in Tokyo at Softbank's flagship store. 300 customers have been waiting to get their hands on a new iPhone 4.


Next up is Europe. Long lines for the iPhone 4 already formed yesterday in London according to Electric Pig. In Paris 200 to 250 people are lining up at the Champs-Elysées according to Reuters (France). In Germany a report appears talking about a 32GB iPhone 4 shortage.

In the United States lines for the iPhone 4 have already formed, and Apple fans camp out during the night. See reports on MacRumors.

The chances that you get an iPhone 4 with pre-order are slim. Most stores just carry the stock that has been already reserved. The best way to get an iPhone 4 was to pre-order in the middle of the night on June 15th online before the servers broke down and the iPhone 4 was sold out. Several iPhone 4 customers who have their new iPhone 4 ordered online already have it in hand since Tuesday. Keep this in mind for the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4 Verizon.

The white iPhone 4 is now scheduled for end of July availability.

We were astonished to read it, but Heidi Montag is apparently serious about divorcing Spencer Pratt - and she's already playing the field again ... sort of.

For the first time since the separation rumors started, she took to her Twitter and openly said she's getting divorced, then promptly hit on Justin Bieber.

She may rue the day once his fans get wind of it.

The Hills star wrote: "@justinbieber now that I am getting divorced I think you and I should do a photo shoot together! Cutie ;) ! I'm closer to your age."

Closer than what is not clear. She's 23 and he's 16. That is minimum security prison territory for the 'Tag. Still, who can resist that bowl cut? Yummy ...

Lick It GoodJustin in England

MMM: That ice cream isn't the only thing Heidi finds delicious.

In addition to salivating over the Bieb online, Heidi also Tweeted some interesting information pertaining to her upcoming new reality show with Jen Bunney.

Apparently, she and the former Hills co-star will be welcoming a third roommate to their Malibu girls' pad (allegedly owned by Spencer's pal Cougar Zank):

Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Karissa Shannon!

Yes, one of the Shannon Twins, but apparently not the other. We have no idea why, how she knows Heidi, or whether anyone would watch this crap, but:

"@karissashannon will be moving in my Malibu house this summer and will be filming our new show!" wrote Montag to her 1,063,188 followers today.

Whatever. That's all. Here's Heidi's Justin Bieber Tweet, which she'll probably take down after 'tween girls send her death threats a la kim Kardashian:

TRON: Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar- and Golden Globe-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy Award-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, TRON: Legacy hits U.S. theaters on Dec. 17, 2010 in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX 3D.

If you thought vampires in the Twilight saga were a bit vanilla compared to those in The Vampire Diaries or True Blood, just wait until the newborns arrive.

It could get ugly in a hurry when the army of just-born bloodsuckers is preparing to descend on Forks in Eclipse, which hits theaters in under two weeks.

A two-minute sneak preview featurette, called "Alliance," gives us some hints as to what transpires when they arrive - and how the Cullens handle it.

In addition to the action scenes, cast members Xavier Samuel, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz give us the lowdown.

No make-out scenes, but pretty cool ...

While the new iPhone 4 launches this coming Thursday, the new iOS 4 (new iPhone OS) is already up for release tomorrow, June 21st.
iOS 4 is compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 2nd and 3rd generation of iPod touch (late 2009 models with 32GB or 64GB). Some features of iOS 4 do not work on all devices. For example, Multitasking requires iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or 3rd generation iPod touch. It is nice to know that Apple is not charging iPod touch owners anymore for upgrades.


Apple iOS 4 comes with over 100 new features, it includes Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform.

So if you are not in the first wave of iPhone 4 shipments or your iPhone 4 pre-order got canceled, at least you get the new iOS 4 user experience.

I just hope the iPhone 3GS hardware is powerful enough to run iOS 4 smoothly.
To install iOS 4 on your old iPhone you need to have iTunes 9.2 or later installed.

Earlier this month we reported that the Xbox 360 is close to gaining USB storage support. This will allow your Xbox to store and load game files from up to two 16 GB flash drives. This new update will make console gaming with the 360 a much more portable endeavor.

Major Nelson has announced that a system update to enable USB storage will be launching on April 6. Once the update goes out, you won't simply be able to plug your USB drive in and use it. You'll need to enable it in the system settings. You can even configure drives that are larger than 16 GB, but the Xbox will only be able to use that much storage.

Is Beyonce pregnant? According to Mediatakeout, you better believe it!

The real question: should we actually believe a report by Mediatakeout?

The site claims intel from "a ROCK SOLID source" that legendary singer and her hip hop mogul husband Jay Z are expecting their first child together.

Beyonce is supposedly "doing fine and resting (for now), but she's expected to continue working throughout her pregnancy." Jay Z? He's happy, too!

Anyone buy it? "No baby," one source responded. Another: "Not true."

Beyonce Pregnant?

So, is Beyonce pregnant or what?

Speculation about the two starting a family began brewing in January when Beyoncé revealed that she was going to take some time off after her tour ended.

"It's definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries," the superstar told USA Today. "I'd like to take about six months and not go into the studio."

"I need to just live life, to be inspired again. I'm going to do random things. Go to restaurants, maybe take a class, see some movies and Broadway shows."

Then there was a report in Page Six a few weeks ago that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were spotted drinking "virgin strawberry mojitos" while vacationing in Chile.

Of course, the celebrity gossip column also reported they were "eating ceviche," a Spanish dish of raw fish. No alcohol? Pregnant. Raw fish? Not pregnant!

So who knows. Just don't expect the notoriously private couple to hold a press conference and leak sonogram images if and when the big event happens.

The Nintendo 3DS will sport a auto-stereo 3D display. That is all we know. Researchers at the University of British Columbia have developed a cool 3D display dubbed pCubee. Imagine the Nintendo 3DS be like this interactive cube, Sony would start taking the 3DS seriously.

Billy Lam, Ian Stavness, Ryan Barr and Sidney Fels have designed a personal cubic head-coupled 3D display that shows reactive 3D scenes. The demo includes four types of interaction techniques with the pCubee: viewing a static scene, navigating through a large landscape, playing with colliding objects inside a box, and stylus-based manipulation of objects.

Users playing with pCubee experience new interaction techniques for 3D scene manipulation in a cubic display.
You can watch the pCubee in action in the video below.
Sadly the pCubee is still only a research project. More details on the pCubee site. Via 3d-display-info.

Miley Cyrus to Focus on Acting

Posted by thams | 6:01 AM

Miley Cyrus appeared on The View this week and hyped her upcoming movie, The Last Song.

For those that enjoy seeing this star on the big screen, they can take comfort: there will be plenty more opportunities to do so.

"I have a record coming out in June and that's going to be the last thing I do in music for a while," Miley told the panel. "I just want to do films 'cause I like being someone else. My music is kind of like my diary. I'll always do that... I just feel like the music industry isn't as positive as I'd like it to be."

At the Oscars

As for Liam Hemsworth, Cyrus opened up about her new man, as well:

"I love him. He is a great person. He's someone I'm holding onto because we very much connect and were both very ambitious and have some of the same goals. My mom loves him and thinks he's wonderful."

Sprint announced the first 4G phone for the United States dubbed HTC EVO 4G. The HTC EVO 4G is the long rumored and highly anticipated HTC Supersonic.
The HTC EVO 4G features a 4.3 inch touchscreen, two cameras including one 8MP, Wifi, 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, HDMI out, compass, proximity sensor, motion sensor, Bluetooth, microSD card slot (up to 32GB) and Android 2.1.

The Sprint HTC EVO 4G will be available this Summer. You can sign-up here to get notified when the HTC EVO 4G is shipping.
4G networks (WiMAX) deliver 10x the speed of 3G networks, but of course like in the beginning with 3G networks the coverage is limited. Sprint 4G is currently rolled out to 25 cities across the United States. We are not just talking big cities. If you are lucky and live in say, Wichita Falls, Texas, you got 4G.

It all begins ... with a choice.

The time for moping around in New Moon is over, and the time to take action has arrived. Soon, so will Eclipse in theaters, as advertised in this dark new poster.

Featuring Bella front and center with Edward and Jacob looking hot in back, the poster is actually a lot like previous ones for the third movie in the Twilight saga.

But the colors are, like, totally dark and gloomy now. This is deep, ominous stuff. Things are about to get very real, and much like Robsten, we can't wait for it:

Hot Eclipse Poster

The choice is Bella's June 30.

If you haven't seen the full Eclipse trailer, we suggest you do so now. If you already think the film is being overhyped, you're totally right ... but THERE IS NO ESCAPE!

She might hate the Internet, her own hit Disney show and the entire country music genre, but Miley Cyrus still has plenty of passion and expertise to go around.

The teen queen will be the celebrity mentor on American Idol this week, Fox confirms. Tuesday night will reportedly feature a Billboard No. 1 hits-themed show.

Of the 11 contestants left, three are teens: last week's sensation Siobhan Magnus, 19, Aaron Kelly, 16, and Katie Stevens, 17. Tim Urban is just 20 years old.

Of course, the three teens all took on The Rolling Stones - more than triple their age - and pleased the judges with their homages to the rock gods last week.

Will Miley be able to steer them in the right direction this week? Or will the girlfriend of Liam Hemsworth act like she's better than them? We'll soon find out ...

Miley Promoting a Movie

Miley Cyrus is promoting The Last Song this week. No doubt there will be a plug - or maybe even a track - or two from that tear-jerker when she comes to American Idol.

On Wednesday’s results show, Miley will be back to perform her hit song, “When I Look At You,” while new couple Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato will duet on “Make A Wave.”

In other words, clear the space on your DVR now, because this watershed moment in teen music history may be one you hold onto and savor for many years to come.

Color us astonished at this breaking news.

When it comes to her current, loving relationship, Paris Hilton's friend and former partying pal says the socialite is "in charge" of boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.

"I've never met Doug, but I can tell you that she definitely wears the pants!" says Richie Rich, who apparently is a real person, at The Runaways premiere.

Who would have guessed Paris Hilton ever wore any pants?

"She calls the shots," Rich said. "I hope he's good to her."

Douglas and Paris

Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt have either managed to stay out of the press for the past few months, or the press has not been that interested. Either way, they lay low.

The couple has been dating on-and-off for a year, and marriage rumors seem to follow them constantly. On that note, Rich seems to want them to wed.

"A huge, classical, theatric sort of wedding!" the designer said, salivating at the prospect of a Paris Hilton wedding. "She has great style and great taste."

Last April, she declared that she would wed the former Hills star sometime, saying: "He's going to be my husband ... I'm really in love and really happy."

Truly, you know that it is just a matter of time until he becomes Mr. Paris Hilton. First he needs to stop getting in trouble for trashing houses, though.

There's a good reason you never see Suri Cruise in jeans.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' kid is way too good for 'em.

She "hates jeans and favors dresses," a source says, revealing some surprising new details on the lavish lifestyles of Suri Cruise and other Hollywood kids.

At the tender age of 3, and 4 next month, Suri, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, also has a penchant for heels - and pricey designer handbags.

The girl even carries around an $850 Ferragamo purse! You know what's crazier? That Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. She lives in like seven different homes!

Suri and Shiloh Update

It was a slow week over at Us, apparently.

Seriously, guys. We get it, okay? Kids of rich people have expensive stuff. Ooh. Why not cover the Jesse James cheating accusations or something more interesting?

Or at least the Jackson kids. Now there's a large, dysfunctional family that doesn't get enough coverage. Especially that little, stun-gun-toting devil Jafaar Jackson.
