Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Rumors,

Sharon Stone and Antonio BanderasAntonio Banderas is reportedly growing close to Sharon Stone.

The 53-year-old actor - who split from wife Melanie Griffith earlier this month after 18 years of marriage - and his old friend are said to be taking a "very relaxed" approach to a any potential romance, but friends say there is a definite "spark" between them.

"Antonio and Sharon have been great friends for years. They have always flirted outrageously and now they're closer than ever. It's all very relaxed at the moment and they want to keep it quiet out of respect for Melanie, but there's no denying the spark is there," a source said.

Antonio and Sharon - whose romance with Martin Mica ended last year - are said to even be planning a holiday next month. "Antonio and Sharon are making plans for a getaway together in July. They've both been married twice before and are just enjoying having fun," the source continued.

Adele Finished Recording Third Album

AdeleAdele has finished work on her third album.

The "Skyfall" singer has been busy in the studio, and fans won't have to wait long for her much-anticipated new record with reports it has been completed and is ready for release.

"The album is written, recorded and finished. Theoretically it could be released tomorrow if she wanted," a source said.

It is said Adele and her label are considering bringing out the album with little fanfare and no "publicity campaign," in a similar way to how Beyonce released her self-titled record earlier this year. "The plan is to release internationally on iTunes as a complete surprise without any previous promotion or build-up publicity campaign. The shock tactics worked amazingly well for Beyonce and the feeling is Adele's new album is so widely anticipated it doesn't need a long promotional build-up," the insider added.

Justin Bieber Upsets New Neighbors

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Meltdowns, Rumors,

Justin BieberPolice have reportedly been called to Justin Bieber's new home twice already.

The "Believe" hitmaker is renting two apartments in a new complex in Beverly Hills - a penthouse and a property directly below - and even though he only moved in earlier this month, he has already ran into problems with his neighbors.

According to reports, the HOA (Home Owners Alliance) have been contacted because of excessive noise and marijuana use, and police were called on two occasions. One resident in the building told TMZ, "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit."

According to the website, the 20-year-old star threw a party last week which went on until 4am and on Monday, he threw a small bash which saw his deck set up with bongs and a bar, and his entire penthouse was "hotboxed," meaning it was sealed off to maximize the possible high from smoking marijuana.

Microsoft to integrate Kinect-like motion control into Windows Phone

Nokia Lumia 1520

Microsoft has an ambitious new idea to set themselves apart from Android and iOS. They want to install their video game motion sensor technology in an upcoming Windows Phone. Tom Warren of The Verge says that Microsoft insiders have slipped him some elusive information on the new phone.

The goal is to eliminate as many buttons and screen swipes as possible from the new phone. It should be able to answer a call simply by holding it up to your ear and end a call when it is dropped into a pocket. Place it on the table to put it on speaker, wave a hand in front of the screen to dismiss alerts, and push buttons without touching the phone, these are the feats that Warren says the phone will be capable of.

The 3D features, as they are being called, are not unique to Microsoft. Amazon is purportedly going to reveal a similar device June 18th. Eliminating screen smudges is cool, but I am not certain if I would be willing to buy a whole new phone to do it though. Given that the Kinect didn't sell consoles on its own merit, I am skeptical if it will do so in the even more competitive smartphone market.

Still, if the 3D sensor allows me a full size keyboard without taking up any real space, it might just be worth a glance.


Melanie Griffith Files for Divorce from Antonio Banderas

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce,

Melanie Griffith and Antonio BanderasMelanie Griffith has reportedly filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas after 18 years of marriage.

The 56-year-old actress has allegedly cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind their split in the legal documents filed by her attorney Laura Wasser.

The Working Girl star is reportedly asking for child support and sole physical and joint legal custody of their 17-year-old daughter Stella, as well as spousal support, according to gossip website TMZ.com. It is believed the split is amicable, but their divorce could turn complicated when it comes to dividing up property as they own a number of homes in the US and Spain.

The Hollywood couple first got together after meeting on the set of the 1995 film Two Much, which led to Antonio's divorce from Ana Leza. The pair got married in a low key ceremony in London, England, in 1996, just one month after Antonio, 53, and Ana's divorce was finalized.

Apple planning to introduce iWatch wearable in October

Apple iWatch concept

Industry sources are aligning, and it appears that Apple is prepping to release its first wearable watch (which many are referring to as the iWatch) this October. According to Re/code and Nikkei, Apple is planning a special event to debut and show off all the features of the new device in October--by our own estimation, this would be a month after the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 launch, and could be within the same timeframe that Apple launches the new Touch ID-enabled iPads.

People familiar with Apple's plans tell Re/Code the company hopes to schedule a special event that month to show off the device, which is designed to make good use of the HealthKit health and fitness information-gathering app it recently showed off at WWDC. Could things change between now and fall? That's certainly possible. But right now October is the target date.

We've been hearing about the rumored fall release of the iWatch for months, while simultaneously also hearing that it might be pushed back to 2015. Now that more reliable sources are in on the reports, it looks like things are coming together. Nikkei is also reporting that the device will sport a curved OLED touchscreen display, and will heavily focused on integrating with the new Health app in iOS 8, tracking things like calories burned, sleep activity, blood oxygen levels, and other fitness-related data.

Evan Rachel WoodEvan Rachel Wood is reportedly being sued for $30 Million by the producers for the sequel of 10 Things I Hate About You.

The 26-year-old actress backed out of 10 Things I Hate About Life and is facing legal action from LLC who filed a suit on June 5 after production was shut down in January 2013 for the project which she signed on to in 2012, according to Deadline.com.

The company wants $20 million in lost profits, $5 million in special damages, $6 million in equity investments and $500,000 in lost financing costs.

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart Split

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Break-ups, Rumors,

Casper Smart and Jennifer LopezAfter nearly two and a half years together, Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have broken up.

Although the split is not too much of a surprise to the public - their relationship had been rumored to be on the rocks lately - sources close to the couple divulged that they had actually gone their separate ways two months ago.

There was also gossip about Casper's wandering eye being the root of their problems, but the insider denies that this is the case: "Casper has been a single guy and can text or see whoever he wants, but the idea that he was knowingly texting a transsexual is laughable... He's not that guy, but like a lot of single guys online he obviously likes to look at a 'lil T and A."

TMZ also reports that Casper is in the process of moving out while Jennifer is busy promoting her latest album.

There is no word (yet!) as to the actual cause of the pair's break-up.
