Is Mariah Carey trying to fatten up her husband
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!
"At this point she's just doing a lot of cooking, she's not even eating. She's creating the smell," he said. "So she cooks it, then makes me eat it. Im the one gaining all the weight! Last night we had buttered pork chops and homemade pecan pie. It's like a smorgasbord in the

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
Switched On: A suite segment for PlayStation games
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.
One thing that has set Sony apart from its home console rivals has been the extended lifecycles of its hardware. Riding the momentum of a massive install base, both the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 each kept selling strong nearly a decade after their debut, and years after their respective successors were introduced.

Bristol Palin's College Sex Talk Cancelled Due to Student Opposition
Bristol Palin won't be speaking to Washington University students about teen pregnancy and abstinence. Student protests caused the university to withdraw their invitation to Bristol, Reuters reports.

Plantronics Calisto 800 speakerphone and Voyager Pro UC headset make concalls cool again
We'd all rather be flown to some exotic, Caribbean location for our next corporate get-together, but in these hard economic times sometimes a good 'ol audio bridge makes the most sense. Increasingly those concalls are happening via some sort of VOIP bridge, and Plantronics' latest are ready for it. First up is the Calisto 800 series "multi speakerphone" devices, which offer connectivity to an analog phone line, a mobile phone over Bluetooth, and even a PC over USB. This lets you easily dial in

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. During the earnings call, Microsoft CFO Peter Klein was asked if tablets were cannibalizing PCs, to which he responded:

Jon Cryer Talks About Working With Charlie Sheen
On Wednesday night's 'Conan,' Jon Cryer told the late-night host what it's like working with his 'Two and a Half Men' co-star Charlie Sheen.
"It's always a little weird," Cryer admitted. "Because the stuff you hear is just unbelievable." The actor joked that he's "checking TMZ, as I do every day, to know if I have to go to work at all."
"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.

It's A Boy! Mike Tyson Welcomes His Eighth Child
Former Heavyweight World Champ Mike Tyson is a dad for the eighth time. RadarOnline.com reports that the 44-year-old boxer and his wife Lahika Spicer Tyson, 32, welcomed a baby boy Tuesday in a Las Vegas hospital. The couple already have a 2-year-old daughter together named Milan, and Mike has five other children born to other mothers.
A source close to the couple says, "Mike and Lakiha are very happy and everyone is doing great." The two married just ten days after the tragic death of his

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

Keith Olbermann Abruptly Leaves MSNBC
Keith Olbermann is abruptly leaving MSNBC. The network announced that Friday's night's 'Countdown' show will be Olbermann's last.
This past November the primetime host was suspended "indefinitely" from MSNBC. Olbermann contributed to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates during election season, including Arizona Senator Gabrielle Giffords.
Shortly after Olbermann's suspension, the host was welcomed back to MSNBC. He demanded an apology from the network before returning to his

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

I'm wearing a heavy black wool turtleneck sweater under my army fatigues; my hair is cut in a flat top, 'jarhead'-style.

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

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).

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

Pioneer prototype laser-based heads-up display with Android hands-on (video)
Looking down at gauges? Officially passe. Check out Pioneer's vision of the future, a prototype that uses an embedded laser projector (a Microvision, as it were). They showed it a little earlier in Japan but this is the first time we've seen it in the US, and we got a chance to try it out. Right now it's just running a static demo, but the idea is that a virtual concierge (represented by our favorite mascot pops up to give you information, and you could also get streaming video from traffic

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.

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. This device uses the same formula as the original IDEOS (also known as the Comet for T-Mobile) and aims to provide a decent product at a competitive price. Although we already knew the specs, this was our chance to play with the IDEOS X5 and gather more information. The phone looks elegant and feels solidly built, with a 3.8-inch WVGA capacitive display behind glass in front and
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.
It all started back in 2002, just off the heels of her Disney glory days, when Lindsay got in the middle of her first

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

MSI fords the sands, announces sixteen laptops with Intel Core 2011 chips

The chunky G-series will sport those new quad-core Core i7 chip, with the 17.3-inch GT780 and 15.6-inch GT680 delivering Dynaudio speakers, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 500 and 400-series graphics and dual SSDs, while the GR620 and GE620 are

Lady Gaga was the Magic Formula for Magazines in 2010
Memo to all magazines struggling to compete at newsstands: Go Gaga. According to a study by WWD, magazines featuring Lady Gaga on their covers sold like hotcakes in 2010, easily beating out those from Taylor Swift and Rihanna.
Gaga was busy in 2010, posing for Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Elle and Cosmopolitan (there's a rumored big-time cover for the March issue of Vogue on the way). Not only that, but each issue she graced the cover of racked up huge numbers.

Opera for tablets teased on video, bringing first public preview to CES (video)
As if building a top notch browser wasn't hard enough when having to develop for both desktop and mobile, here comes Opera with a third category: tablet-specific browsers. Opera for tablets has just been teased on video, exploiting a Galaxy Tab to show off slippery smooth pinch-to-zoom functionality plus a finger-friendly landing page for all your favorite websites when opening a new window.

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.

Good news, digital bookworms! After months of rumoring, Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs has just announced that Qualcomm will really be building a new Mirasol plant over there. Specifically, the $ 1 billion, seven-hectare factory will reside in the Hsinchu Longtan Science Park to mass-produce small and medium flavors of said transflective display, meaning the Snapdragon maker will, for the first time, be able to churn out something smaller than the current lone 5.7-inch model.

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
