Considering that we've seen that particular SOC drive three screens, we're guessing that a single 4.3-inch stereo display (yes, 4.3-inch is confirmed) will be old hat, and we've certainly seen the included

Billy Joel Clears Up Rumors, Does Not Want to Punch Elton John in the Face
Since Elton John gave Billy Joel some "tough love" and called him out as an alcoholic in a Rolling Stone interview, the two iconic musicians have been back and forth against each other in the media.
Elton said he knew his longtime friend would "hate him" for it, but he was quite outspoken about the piano man needing to "do something better" with his life and enter into a real rehab program for his "alcoholism."
"At the end of the day, he's coasting," Elton said of his former touring partner.

How would you change Barnes & Noble's Nook Color?
Now that you've had ample time to get through a few novellas, we're keenly interested in finding out how you'd change Barnes & Noble's Nook Color if given the opportunity. For an e-reader, it's deliciously hackable, giving you a way to blow off steam after a hard day's night... of soaking up information, that is. We found it to be amongst the top of its class when we reviewed it back in November, but this space is all about you. Would you overhaul the user interface? Ship it with a fancier

James McAvoy Enjoyed Getting the 'S**t Kicked Out' of Him by Angelina Jolie
James McAvoy is a jack of all trades. He has wooed Keira Knightley ('Atonement') and Anne Hathaway ('Being Jane'), and had the stuffing knocked out of him by the most badass starlet of them all, Angelina Jolie, in 'Wanted.' He'll soon come to Robin Wright's defense in Robert Redford's historical drama 'The Conspirator,' and is hard at work filming the hotly anticipated 'X-Men: First Class,' in which he plays a young Professor Charles Xavier, opposite Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence, January
The Engadget Interview: Jon Rubinstein and Steven McArthur talk webOS on PCs, 'Music Synergy,' competition, and more
We had a chance to sit down with HP's Jon Rubinstein and SVP of applications and services Steven McArthur just after the company's event yesterday, and the conversation was rather revealing. Besides being extremely upfront about some tough issues (timing, legacy support), both execs were more than willing to tackle questions about HP's current deficiencies in the consumer electronics space. We've put together a rough transcript of the chat below, and it touches on a lot of issues currently

Report: Kelsey and Camille Grammer Will Divorce Thursday
Is the end finally coming for Kelsey and Camille Grammer's 13-year-marriage? That's a yes according to TMZ, who reports the two will finalize their divorce in could Thursday.
Earlier this week we reported that the estranged couple had finally reached a deal in their divorce. Kelsey, 55, has adamantly been pushing for a speedy divorce so he can hurry up and say "I do" once again to his "new girl," 29-year-old Kayte Walsh.

Apple TV gaming hinted strongly in iOS 4.3 beta code
Is Apple about to take on Xbox Live? Let's not jump to any conclusions, but a trusted tipster has uncovered evidence that's, shall we say, very suggestive to say the least. New code in the iOS 4.3 beta 3 firmware hints that Apple TV may soon support online gaming. Several references have been found pertaining to "ATVGames" and "ATVThunder" that point to a controller of some sort, leaderboards (think Game Center), a way to schedule games (multiplayer?), and a store front (think App Store,

Kevin Smith Lost 65 Pounds After Being Kicked Off Airplane for Being Too Fat
Forget hitting the gym to shed those extra pounds. Just get kicked off a plane for being "too fat" and you'll be so traumatized you'll have to lose the weight!
At least that was the case for Kevin Smith. The director and 'Jay and Silent Bob' star told Joy Behar about his 65-pound weight loss in a high-energy interview that led her to ask, "Are you on Amphetamines?"
Last February, Smith was furious when Southwest airlines threw him off a flight from Oakland to Burbank because they deemed

Dell Latitude E6220 hands-on
Sure, the Dell Means Business event this morning was a bit of a snore, but amidst all the talk of backlit keyboards (egads!), four-times faster hard drive encryption, and cookware-inspired design, we spotted a rather attractive (perhaps even enticing) enterprise system -- the Dell Latitude E6220 laptop. According to Dell, this 12-inch thin-and-light is targeting "field workers" like us, so we wasted no time getting some hands-on time with it alongside our trusty 11-inch MacBook Air. Check out

Joan Rivers Reams Christina Aguilera Over Star-Mangled Banner
EXCLUSIVE: Christina Aguilera has pipes of steel, but her memory failed her on Super Bowl Sunday when she flubbed the ramparts out of the Star-Spangled Banner. With great gaffes come great amounts of criticism, and although the singer has tried to explain herself ("I lost my place"), she couldn't escape the wrath of Joan Rivers.
"How stupid can you get?" Joan asked when I talked to her on Monday. "Christina must have been thinking about food, that's why she forgot the words."

Interactive storefront displays show up at Canadian Starbucks, window licking discouraged
Starbucks has given the caffeinated crowd a new reason, other than the free WiFi, to stop by a couple of locations in Toronto and Vancouver -- interactive window displays! Taking sidewalk passers-by on a journey to assemble their favorite Tazo teas, the interactivity comes via a vinyl screen, projector, and gesture controls. We've already seen an interactive storefront in the US, so its about time our friends up north got some geekified advertising of their own. Vid's after the break.

'Pirates 4' Super Bowl Trailer: Captain Jack Sparrow Battles Blackbeard
What will a 'Pirates' movie without Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom look like? Is Captain Jack (the inestimable Johnny Depp) still crazy after all these years? We got some answers with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' trailer, which aired during the third quarter of Super Bowl XLV.
Captain Jack's new adventure flings him together with "mermaids, zombies Blackbeard," that dreaded "pirate that all pirates fear," played by 'Deadwood' star Ian McShane. Jack's got a new

Oscar Winners Don't Make Movies More Money
There has been a lot of talk lately about the value of an Academy Award. We told you last week that if Natalie Portman wins the Oscar for Best Actress, her market value is expected to increase by at least 20%. But is she worth it? Do movies with Academy Award winners and nominees actually do better at the box office than films starring folks the Academy ignores?
The value of using a former winner or nominee in a future project may be inflated.
In fact, when it comes to box office gross,

How would you change Logitech's Revue with Google TV?
Remember Google TV? It's still kickin', but El Goog still has quite a few content distribution quibbles to solve before it can be taken seriously -- at least in our estimation. Logitech was one of the first outfits to buy into Google's scheme to take over the television, with the Revue first out of the gate to provide Google TV access to existing sets. We had our fair share of gripes with the box, and while it definitely enabled quite the unusual videocall in a prior episode of The Engadget

The Situation Planning to Leave 'Jersey Shore?'
Uh-oh. MTV might soon have themselves a serious 'Situation' on their hands.
According to E! Online, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is hoping to make the journey from Seaside Heights to Hollywood sooner rather than later.
"Hopefully by the end of the year, I'll be in a movie," the 'Jersey Shore' star said. "There's only so long you can rule the reality world."
"Maybe another year or so of reality, and then I'm gonna graduate to movies," the former 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant said.

Report: Kim Kardashian Unhappy Being Dragged into Halle Berry's Custody Drama
Kim Kardashian might have dated Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry briefly in 2010, but the reality star wants to stay far away from the estranged parents and their ongoing custody battle.
Sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times that Kim is "both amazed an extremely unhappy" that her name is getting dragged into the drama surrounding Halle and Gabriel's 2-year-old daughter Nahla. Halle was reportedly furious when Gabriel and Kim were dating, and her young daughter was exposed to the brunette beauty.

RIM tilts BlackBerry PlayBook keyboard on side, drops hints about TAT, module cavities and battery life
RIM held a BlackBerry WebWorks developer event in San Francisco this evening, and while hard news was not in attendance, we did score a number of tidbits about the company's BlackBerry PlayBook. First and foremost, there's most definitely a portrait virtual keyboard in the latest QNX tablet build, and we literally gave it a spin, watching as the landscape layout slowly switched to portrait mode as we changed the slate's orientation. Second, we may have gotten our first hint about what RIM's

Jennifer Aniston Turned Down 'Saturday Night Live' for 'Friends'
Say what you will about Jennifer Aniston, but the girl's got great comedic timing. So great, in fact, that the 41-year-old actress was once offered a role on 'Saturday Night Live.'
Wednesday on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' Aniston and Adam Sandler joined the queen of daytime talk shows to promote their upcoming film 'Just Go With It.' It was there that Aniston revealed she and Sandler almost shared the screen many years ago.

Apple to require in-app subscriptions for periodicals by March 31st, fine print still a bit fuzzy
We knew The Daily was to be just the first drop what's destined to be a flood of titles with in-app purchases for the iTunes store, but we weren't quite sure how hard Apple would be twisting the faucet -- until now, that is. According to The Wall Street Journal, Cupertino will reject any newspaper or magazine app that doesn't take subscription payments through the iTunes store. It doesn't have to be solely Apple's store -- developers can still sell through websites in addition to the mandated

Report: Lindsay Lohan Suspect in Jewelry Theft
Listen up, Lindsay Lohan. I know Marilyn Monroe is your idol and all, and she did say "Diamonds are a girl's best friend," but hijacking high-end jewelry is not what she had in mind!
RadarOnline.com reports that cops have asked a Los Angeles judge for a search warrant for the starlet's Venice Beach home. They suspect that Lohan has stolen a piece of jewelry, and investigators told the court they have a video of Lohan wearing the missing jewels.

Android Market acting weird -- is it a precursor to tomorrow's event?
We've gotten a bunch of tips in the past hour or so that the Android Market is doing weird things, and we can corroborate this on our Nexus S here -- we're just not able to download stuff. Apps look like they're starting to download, then they suddenly vanish into thin air without a trace and without an error message. Our Droid 2 is still fully functional, though, so this definitely isn't consistent; really, we're just wondering if this outage might have something to do with tomorrow's

Nick Cannon? The TV personality told Fox411's Pop Tarts that his wife, who is pregnant with twins, is feeding him so much that he's the one packing on the pregnancy pounds!

Clover SunBook offers 'first sunlight ready netbook,' questionable graphic design
When we first made contact with Clover System's SunBook, it was but a glimmer in Pixel Qi's transflective eye, but today, the little guy is ready to step out on its own. Like Notion Ink's Adam, the "the first sunlight-ready netbook" packs dual lighting displays, allowing you to shut off LCD backlights while under direct sunlight and cut your power consumption in half. You can also leave both functions on for easy indoor-outdoor transitions. It's sporting a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU, 1GB of

HTC Thunderbolt rumored to be hitting Best Buy February 14th, sans mobile hotspot or Skype video?
The HTC Thunderbolt may have been officially announced way back at CES, but there's still quite a bit we don't know about the phone -- namely, a price or a release date. We now at least have what looks to be a fairly solid hint of the latter, however, courtesy of the above shot of a Best Buy inventory screen that lists an in stock date of February 14th. You'll note that the screen doesn't actually mention the HTC Thunderbolt anywhere, but some sleuthing by the folks at Android Central reveals

George Clooney: Hollywood's Hottest Bachelor Plays the Field
Although you'd never guess it, this silver fox who consistently tops 'Sexiest Man Alive' charts was given the nickname 'Frankenstein' by his childhood bullies. Now, the horrors of his middle school days long gone, George Clooney is one of the world's most eligible bachelors and is no stranger to scoring with Hollywood's equally hot actresses, models ... and waitresses. George's fame-making role as a doctor on 'ER' definitely didn't hurt his heartthrob status, and in 1988, George moved in with

Cheryl Burke Reveals Trauma of Being Called Fat
'Dancing with the Stars' pro Cheryl Burke recently made headlines revealing she was molested as a child. But now the famous figure is opening up about her own self image issues.
In the summer of 2008, a tabloid published photos of Burke looking heavier. "One night I was supposed to go out with my friends but I couldn't do it," she told PEOPLE. "Every time someone looked at me I was like, 'That person thinks I'm fat.'"
Burke estimated she gained 5 to 10 lbs while on hiatus from the show, and

Microsoft: tablets affected Q4 earnings, netbooks past their peak
We had a strong (okay, really strong) hunch that the iPad was a contributing factor in Microsoft's waning Windows revenue in Q2, but there's nothing like a little confirmation from Redmond.

"There was a story that they found Charlie's car at the bottom of a cliff. So you're thinking, 'Wow, sure hope Charlie's okay,'" he said. "And he comes into

Sony about to issue PS3 update with 'minor,' mysterious security patch
Sony just mentioned on its official PlayStation blog that the PS3 is about to get a "minor" update, v3.56. With Sony about to host a press event in Tokyo, it would be nice if we were getting some new functionality for our update timeout, but apparently all it adds is a security patch (just like 3.55), and for some reason we get the impression that this "security patch" is less about defense against baddies and more about trying to shore up the PS3 jailbreak that's currently running rampant.

Volkswagen's XL1 concept plug-in diesel hybrid has 313MPG fuel efficiency, questionable aesthetics
Steaming down the autobahn could be about to get a whole lot more efficient. Volkswagen has carted out its newly updated Super Efficient Vehicle concept, now dubbed the XL1, which -- after a great deal of fuzzy math, we're sure -- is rated at a 313MPG fuel efficiency and produces only 24g of CO2 per kilometer traveled. There's an electric motor and a TDI diesel engine making all the buzzing and roaring noises inside, while the overall body design is focused on making the car as light and as

Justin Bieber Stands Tall in 'Never Say Never' Movie Poster
Get ready, Beliebers! Justin Bieber's first full-length feature film 'Never Say Never' hits theaters February 11th. And Monday, Justin's team released the movie's poster, which is sure to be plastered on tween walls around the world.
The poster shows the pint-sized pop star standing tall, with shots of his hometown of Stratford, Canada in black and white and the New York City skyline illuminated further in the distance. I'm going to take a wild guess and bet the road on which Justin is

Robot camel jockeys found packing illegal stun guns, Dubai police say 'Don't tase them bro!'
It's been awhile since we've talked about the remote controlled robot jockeys used in Arabian camel racing, but a recent scandal that has rocked the camel-racing world compels us to revisit the topic. The Dubai police discovered that some shady characters have been selling robot jockeys equipped with stun guns to "encourage" camels to run faster. We're pretty sure that the animals don't need any more incentive to run -- they already have a robot whipping them -- and it's good to see that the

What Is Oprah Winfrey's Big Secret?
Last week, Oprah Winfrey revealed that a revealing revelation would be revealed...Monday!
She told viewers a family secret "shook her to her core" when she first learned of it months ago. She also teased brief footage of a reunion, with someone seen (only from behind) stepping from the shadows onto the stage for an embrace.

HTC Arrive and Kyocera Echo bow for Sprint?
Okay, armchair sleuths, this one's for you -- we've got two very legit-looking logos here, but not a lot of proof. Our tipster tells us that both of these high-quality vector graphics are the names of upcoming devices for Sprint, with the HTC Arrive (née Ruby) allegedly an upcoming Windows Phone 7 device, while Kyocera Echo is apparently the retail name for the phone internally known as the Sanyo Orange. It just so happens that the trademark for "HTC Arrive" was registered the very same

Nicki Minaj's Thrilled Fans Get Her Booted From Posh London Hotel
Nicki Minaj invaded London earlier this week and excitement about her arrival caused devoted fans to mob the Dorchester hotel she was staying in just to get a glimpse of her. Maybe they were a touch too enthusiastic.
In an unexpected turn of events, the wig-wearing MC was kicked out of the establishment after loyal supporters and paparazzi came out in full force, causing unwanted attention and a massive disturbance for the rest of the Dorchester's guests.

Motorola Xoom launching February 17th at Best Buy
When we stumbled upon an $ 800 price for the Motorola Xoom yesterday, our instinctive reaction was to leap forward to the next obvious question: when? Well, that call has now been answered by an internal Best Buy document that's just dropped into our inbox, which explicitly pinpoints February 17th as the launch date for Moto's highly touted, Honeycomb-equipped tablet. Stock is expected to land at the big box retailer on February 16th, with the big party going down the day after. There's a

How would you change Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air?
Apple may not be much on the idea of a 7-inch tablet, but an 11-inch ultraportable? Now that's an idea even the engineers in Cupertino could dig. When we reviewed the 11-inch MacBook Air, we found an awful lot to love -- that all-Flash design is definitely a boon, and the more-mobile-than-mobile design is sure to be loved by road warriors and light packers everywhere. But it's still (comparatively) sluggish, and it's lacking a backlit keyboard. Enough from us, though -- we're here to hear what

Is MTV's 'Skins' Straddling Child Pornography Laws?
Although the British seem to do it better, we copy it just as well -- and in this case, a little too well. With the latest Brit TV series, 'Skins,' making it across the pond and landing on MTV, Americans are getting more than an eyeful of gratuitous teenage sexuality in all of its glory.
But American teens better TiVo the first two episodes before network execs force producers to tone down the heavy petting and nudity. The show has been labeled by some -- including The New York Times -- as a

Joan Rivers: FOX Can 'Go F**k Themselves' Over Sarah Palin Controversy
Joan Rivers says FOX News can "go f**k themselves" after canceling her Thursday appearance on the network's morning show for what she claims is retaliation for some biting comments she made about FOX contributor Sarah Palin.
Why so riled up, Joan? It all started when the loud-mouthed legend told TMZ over the weekend that critics were "right" to blame Sarah Palin for the tragedy in Tucson, Ariz. Reports surfaced on Wednesday that FOX heard the diss and nixed Joan and daughter Melissa's

Sony A580 reviewed: 16.2 megapixels of mid-range DSLR goodness
Like the Sony A560 DSLR but need a few million more pixels at your disposal? That's basically what you get with the A580, a successor to the A550 and doing basically everything the A560 does -- but with a 16.2 megapixel sensor. So it sports 1080i recording, a 3-inch tilting LCD, and 7fps burst shooting, but can't match the continuous autofocus of the funky A55 and its mystical, magical, translucent mirror and overheating sensor. Overall performance and image quality are said to be good, with

David Cassidy Expected to Enter Guilty Plea in DUI Case
Despite earlier reports to the contrary, former teen-idol David Cassidy is now expected to enter a guilty or no contest plea following a drunken driving charge from November.
According to the AP, a Judge in Florida said the 'Partridge Family' star would most likely enter a plea without attending a court hearing. If this is the case, the 60-year-old will likely be sentenced Feb. 16.

Samsung Vibrant 4G for T-Mobile gets FCC clearance?
A new Sammy christened SGH-T959V just passed through the FCC, and we've got a good feeling this is the Vibrant 4G that we know is on its way to Big Magenta before too long. Why's that? Well, most notably, SGH-T959 is the model number for the original Vibrant -- and like the Vibrant, this device has support for AWS, which any T-Mobile 3G / 4G device would need. Furthermore, take one look at that outline up there -- certainly looks like a Galaxy S of some sort, doesn't it? More on this soon, we

Understanding Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream: An Essay By Actor Michael Boatman
It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Jan. 18. It's 1989 and I've just walked onto the set of my first television gig, 'China Beach.' We're on Stage 9 at the Warner Brothers Studios lot, halfway through season two of the critically adored Vietnam series. I'm wearing a heavy black wool turtleneck sweater under my army fatigues; my hair is cut in a flat top, 'jarhead'-style.

Lag-free Wii on PSP episode II: Mario Kart strikes back
It looks like our favorite PSP Fanboy, Obiwan222222, is up to his old tricks once again, and his latest video shows that he has finally eliminated the lag problem that plagued his first attempt to play Wii on a PSP four years ago. Using a Wii emulator on a PC, some custom firmware, and a program called PSPDisplay, he has managed to stream video and sound to his PSP Go in real time. He also mapped the Wii controls (Wiimote waving excluded, we presume) to the handheld to complete the full

'Social Network' and 'Glee' Dominate Golden Globes
The drinks, the jokes, the over-long speeches and, of course, the awards. It's the 2011 Golden Globes, Hollywood's funnest free-for-all awards show. The Moet and nasty jokes (via host Ricky Gervais) were in no short supply as 'The Social Network,' 'Glee' and 'Black Swan' racked up the most awards.

X-pire! software will add digital expiration dates to your photos, photo-related embarrassment
Wouldn't it be nice if photos you uploaded to Facebook, MySpace and Flickr just stopped being accessible after a while, saving you the almighty hassle of having to delete them yourself? Well, a few good Germans have come together to produce the X-pire! software, which promises to do just that -- make online imagery inaccessible after a given period of time following their upload. It's been around in prototype form as a Firefox extension, but next week should see its proper launch, complete

Justin Bieber's Manly, Mysterious Moustache
Justin Bieber told Barbara Walters in December that he'd be changing up his hair in 2011. Was he talking about his facial hair?
At Friday's Critics' Choice Awards, the 16-year-old singer strolled the red carpet in a dapper bow tie and nerd-chic glasses. But it was his luxurious handlebar moustache that immediately earned a nomination for biggest head-scratcher of the night.

Dell Adamo now even cheaper, slightly less powerful
It looks like Dell isn't quite sure what to do with Adamo. First, the MacBook Air competitor was bumped from Dell's marketing roster, then it was reduced from $ 999 to $ 899, and now it's got a price tag of $ 799. Unfortunately, the price isn't all Dell is slashing: last October the Adamo was sporting a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo SL9600 processor and 4GB of DDR3-800 memory, now we're told it's functioning on a 1.4GHz Core Duo 2 SU9400 and 2GB of DDR3-800 (with no upgrade option that we can find).

How would you change Windows Phone 7?
Fair's fair, right? The last time we spoke, we gave you all ample opportunity to tell webOS' new owners how revision 2.0 should be changed, and now that Microsoft's latest and greatest has been on the open market for a few months, it's time to do the same with Windows Phone 7. It's obvious that WP7 is a huge, huge leap forward over Windows Mobile, but as a fledgling mobile OS, there are naturally quite a few areas where improvements could be made. If you were blessed with the ability to

'Green Hornet' Star Edward Furlong in Jail After Violating Restraining Order
Edward Furlong, who has had roles in 'Terminator 2' and most recently 'The Green Hornet' alongside Seth Rogan, is behind bars.

MetroPCS finally prepping Android smartphone with LTE from Samsung?
LTE's great... but only if it's got phones and modems that can take advantage of it. Though MetroPCS beat Verizon to become the first American carrier to launch the technology, it's been scraping by so far with nothing other than the Samsung Craft, a middling dumbphone without the chops to attract the powerusers that would normally want to be involved with a 4G network anyway. Looks like that's finally about to change, though, because BGR's scored a shot of a so-called SCH-R510 -- also from

Shakira and Boyfriend Antonio De La Rua Split After 11 Years
We know Shakira's hips don't lie, and neither does her official website. According to an entry posted on her blog, Shakira and boyfriend Antonio De La Rua have "made a mutual decision to take time apart from romantic relationship."
The 33-year-old Colombian singer is a private person who largely avoids ending up in the tabloids. She began dating Antonio, the son of the former President of Argentina, back in 2000. The two remained a couple as Shakira rose through the ranks of fame as an

Verizon's alleged iPhone event happens tomorrow, January 11th at 11AM EST / 2PM PST, and we'll be there live!
We've waited. We've watched. We've wondered. And now, by the grace of Steve Jobs and Lowell Mcadams, we're supposedly going to see a reveal of the mythical Verizon iPhone. Of course, there's always a chance that Verizon just wants to reveal more details on LTE, or talk about the company's commitment to openness and Android... but according to the rumor mill, it's time for Big Red to get some Apple magic.

'Real Housewives' Star Phaedra Parks: 'What You See on Camera Is a Character'
Phaedra Parks is many things: a lawyer, wife, mother and now one of the stars of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta.' But she admits what you see on TV isn't necessarily the way she is in real life.
"What you see on the camera is a character, so I sometimes don't feel it's who I am as a person," she tells PopEater.
Parks also explains why she wanted to do the show. "I thought it would be a great challenge." Watch Our Interview Below.

William and Kate: A Fairytale Romance Fit for the Story Books
The Princess Diaries, The Prince and Me, The Princess Bride -- the public just can't get enough of sweeping, melodramatic fairytales. Thank goodness there are real-life royals around to satiate our palates for regal romances. Not since the world's obsession with the epitome of style and grace that was the late Princess Diana and her marriage to Prince Charles have we had a royal love story to mesmerize us. This one began once upon a time amid the humble backdrop of the campus at the University
Kenmore shows off smartphone / tablet-connected appliances at CES (hands-on)
We've already seen some smartphone-connected appliances in LG's Thinq lineup, and it looks like Kenmore is now getting ready to join it in a big way with some fairly impressive "enhanced" appliances of its own -- which we managed to get an early look at here at CES. Those will include things like washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators, all of which will be able to be controlled via a "smartphone or smart tablet" (Apple and Android devices were specifically mentioned as getting a free app),

Lea Michele Made Young 'True Grit' Star Cry With Brush Off
Little Hailee Steinfeld is earning some very adult accolades -- including a Best Supporting Actress SAG Award nomination -- for her turn in 'True Grit,' but the 14-year-old actress got the cold shoulder from a 'Glee' starlet who apparently just didn't have time for her.
"When I was auditioning for 'True Grit,' I was on the Paramount lot. I was wearing clothes from the 1800s that were big and uncomfortable. 'Glee' also films on the lot, and I love the show," Steinfeld told J-14 magazine. "I saw

Mistubishi's 92- and 155-inch screens are bigger, biggest
After hearing about Mitsubishi's 92-inch DLP we just had to get our eyes on it and sure enough, we spotted models lurking around CES, along with the 155-inch display made up of OLED panels. There's not much to say about the DLP that we didn't cover during our 3D roundup, it's just bigger, with other changes and details still TBA -- we're waiting for 'em to cross the 100-inch mark -- while the OLED seemed suited to its potential purpose of lighting up stadiums and other similar areas, with

Power to the People: How Many Ways Can Johnny Depp Thank the Fans?
The People's Choice Awards have been good to Johnny Depp. The versatile actor has taken home five awards for Favorite Male Movie Star in 2011, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, as well as the title of Favorite Male Actor of the Decade in 2010. That's a lot of love thrown at Depp and a big challenge to shake up his acceptance speeches year after year. So just how does he thank the same base of supporters over and over again?

Huawei IDEOS X5 hands-on
Huawei was right on cue here at CES today, announcing the US version of its IDEOS X5 mid-range Android smartphone.

Although we already knew the specs, this was our chance to play with the IDEOS X5 and gather more information.

Beamz laser instrument gets upgraded to please hardcore laser rockers and gamers alike
The demonstration of four-player Rock Band Mobile at Samsung's CES 2011 press conference was pretty slick, but to the folks at Beamz, that kind of music gaming is still so amateur compared to its laser switch-activated jam sessions. That's because they've redesigned their original product to be more living room-friendly thanks to a black paint job and a slimmer profile. They've also tried to appeal more to the gaming set by expanding the Beamz song library beyond the original 80 developed by

Looking Back at a Half-Decade of Lindsay Lohan Scandals
From DUIs, multiple stints in rehab, countless cat fights and daddy issues that would put Joe Jackson in the Father of the Year category, Lindsay Lohan is the tabloid gift that just keeps on giving. A New Year doesn't mean a fresh start for our favorite freckled redhead -- a cyclone of scandal seems to follow her everywhere she goes.
At least the girl takes a good mug shot.

Lindsay Out of Rehab and Already Betrayed by Friends
Michael Lohan is sick and tired of his daughter Lindsay's so-called "friends" who, in his eyes, are trying to make money off the fragile actress. The oft-vocal dad tells me he has already given the boot to one acquaintance who showed up at her house with a camera crew just hours after Lindsay was released from rehab.
"I understand why Lindsay wouldn't want people to know she's out of rehab," Michael tells me before calling out Beverly Hills organizer-to-the-stars Linda Koopersmith, who

Miranda Lambert and fiancee Blake Shelton have already made several decisions about their upcoming wedding, including serving deer meat at the reception and being serenaded by good friend Neal McCoy.

HTC Thunderbolt and Samsung i520 bring LTE gravitas to Verizon's stock-keeping systems
So if the HTC Incredible was coded as the ADR6300 in Verizon's internal systems, just what do you think an ADR6400 could signify? A pair of screenshots from a VZW employee living out a Julian Assange daydream have seemingly confirmed the common expectation that Verizon will very soon deliver its Incredible successor -- better known to you and us as the LTE-equipped HTC Thunderbolt. Aiding and abetting the HTC handset in getting the red team's LTE network started will be Samsung's SCH-i520, an
