Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE now available for pre-order

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Handhelds,

HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-order

Sprint is readying for the release of the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and today it moves a step closer to release. Starting today, you can pre-order yourself an EVO 4G LTE for $199.99 (or you can get it for $149.99 from Wirefly) with two-year contract. If you're not eligible for an upgrade, the cost shoots up to $549. Unfortunately, Sprint's LTE network has yet to go live, so the phone will likely be a 3G affair at launch. Disappointing, but, hey, when LTE is lit up on the Now Network, the phone will be ready on day one. Wirefly says the Ice Cream Sandwich device should ship on May 18th.

VIDEO: Lauren Conrad Offers Fashion Advice Via PSA

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Videos,

Reality star-turned-writer Lauren Conrad is taking to the internet (with the help of Ryan Seacrest) to promote her latest book, Style.

In her PSA, Conrad targets “fashion f****-ups,” in which she uses Anna Wintour‘s face to cover up the expletive. As humorous as it is and as much as I agree, I find it hard to listen to fashion advice from someone whose style mostly consists of flip-flops, jeans, and simple dresses. Her boldest fashion move was a Moschino dress at the MTV Movie Awards!

If you do happen to like her styling tips, her book is now available in stores.

Project Runway’s Tim Gunn recently released a video message to all the gay youth the world, revealing a personal secret as he offered up encouragement.

“I attempted to kill myself,” Gunn reveals in the video. “I’m happy to say today that attempt was unsuccessful. But at the time it was all that I could contemplate.”

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Video,

The stars of Hellcats - Alyson Michalka (Marti Perkins), Ashley Tisdale (Savannah Monroe), Robbie Jones (Lewis Flynn) and Matt Barr (Dan Patch) - made the above video to speak out against youth violence and to send a very personal message to one of its victims.

Tyler Wilson, 11, joined an Ohio cheerleading program because he thinks the skill will help him get to college…but some of his peers didn’t think it was such a good idea. Wilson endured lots of teasing at the hands of his school mates, but one day it all became much more sinister. Wilson was allegedly attacked after school, physically lifted by another student and thrown on the ground.

Anna Paquin Reveals She’s a Bisexual

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Videos,

I have a feeling True Blood fans will be viewing Sookie Stackhouse a lot differently from now on.

In a new PSA for Give a Damn, a campaign that fights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality, Oscar winner Anna Paquin makes a surprise announcement: “I’m bisexual.”

The 27-year-old, who is engaged to HBO co-star Stephen Moyer, joins a list of celebrities - gay and straight - for the cause. “One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country,” Paquin states in the clip.

Others supporting organizer Cyndi Lauper in the campaign include Elton John, Jason Mraz, Whoopi Goldberg, Clay Aiken and Wanda Sykes.

Lil Wayne for Get Schooled from Get Schooled on Vimeo.

Rapper Lil’ Wayne used his voice to deliver a positive message recently. The recording artist created this very serious, effective public service announcement to promote education. With this, Lil’ Wayne proves that he’s got the chops for more serious camera work outside his entertaining musical antics.

Megan Fox Speaks Out

The fact that Jennifer’s Body stars Megan Fox guarantees a good million or so guys who will be rushing to theaters this September to catch the Diablo Cody-written horror-comedy. With that said, this faux public service announcement is quite unnecessary; however, it is mildly amusing.

Michelle Obama Takes a Walk on Sesame Street

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Kids, PBS, Video,

That large white residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might be impressive, but it’s not the most exciting place Michelle Obama‘s been to this year. Earlier this week, the First Lady reached out to children everywhere with a PSA she recorded on Sesame Street. The clip, which also features that oh-so-cute red guy, stresses the importance of good eating.

An ecstatic Obama shared her joy with diplomats and staff members at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. “I’m thrilled to be here, but I was just at Sesame Street—I’m sorry. And I never thought I’d be on Sesame Street with Elmo and Big Bird and I was thrilled. I’m still thrilled. I’m on a high,” she said. “I think it’s probably the best thing I’ve done so far in the White House. But we were there talking about nutrition and healthy eating, and it’s just been a thrill.”

Obama is not the first FLOTUS to appear on the classic children’s program. Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton have both guested as well.

Keira Knightley in Disturbing Domestic Violence PSA

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Videos,

If the violence reenacted by two random actors didn’t grab your attention, maybe this clip will.

Actress Keira Knightley and director Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) recently teamed up on their third project together. In this two-minute piece for the charity Women’s Aid, the duo create a disturbing glimpse of the violence many secretly endure in their homes every day.

The PSA was, of course, inspired by the highly-publicized event between Rihanna and Chris Brown.

PSA Describes Rihanna, Chris Brown Incident in Gory Detail

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Break-ups, Legal Issues,

A new PSA from Do Something reenacts the details of the Rihanna/Chris Brown assault case, the events which could land Brown in prison.

In the video, two teenagers in a vehicle act out the alleged violence that occurred on February 8, 2009. A voice-over graphically, dispassionately describes the punching, biting and choking that were reported to have occurred between the famous couple.

At the end, the PSA closes with a frightening statistic: one in three teens are abused in their relationships. You can view the video in its entirety here.
