Google sets the table for an October 29th Android Event
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Smartphones, Corporate News, Google, Rumors, Software,
The rumor of the Google Nexus event on October 29th is all but confirmed. The search giant has sent out invitations to the press for the event being held in New York City. The invite details are limited to time, date, and place but there's some additional written text in the search field. Could it mean an open API for Google Now?
With a high degree of certainty, the event will centered around the LG Nexus 4. However, there might be additional hardware announcements, like the one that appeared on the photo sharing site, Picasa, of the Sony Nexus X smartphone, and possibly a revamped Nexus Q. Perhaps some chatter of Google TV; we doubt it though. Could Google be planning to release yet another version of Android? Key Lime Pie anyone? The event will be live streamed on Youtube.

Flavor Flav Arrested
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues,
Flavor Flav has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
The rapper and reality TV star was detained by officers in Las Vegas in the early hours of this morning after allegedly threatening his fiancee's teenage son with a knife. Reports say Flavor - real name William Drayton Jr. - got into a physical argument with his partner, Liz, who then called emergency services after her son stepped in.
"The caller advised she had been involved in a physical altercation with her fiance, who was identified as William Drayton," a police statement said.
The "911 is a Joke" rapper was taken from the house, in a residential neighborhood several miles southwest of the Las Vegas Strip, into police custody at around 3am. Flavor is now being held on $23,000 bail at Clark County jail, with an initial court appearance scheduled for tomorrow. It is not clear if he has a lawyer.

Megan Fox Becomes a Mother

Megan Fox has become a mother. The Transformers actress welcomed her first child, a boy, with husband Brian Austin Green in late September, according to E! news. The 26-year-old star and her husband - whom she married in Hawaii in 2010 - have kept the happy news to themselves since then.
Megan has been similarly private throughout her pregnancy, ending one interview when asked indirectly if she was to have a baby. She only later confirmed she was pregnant by posing for photographers with her bump.
Megan said earlier this year she has "always been maternal" and wants "at least two, probably three kids." The new arrival will be a brother to Brian's son Kassius, 10, from a previous relationship and his wife has previously said how being a stepmother makes her extremely happy.
"A lot of things make me happy. But I feel unbelievably happy when my stepson tells me I'm beautiful. When I started living with Brian, his son was only two and I was 18. I've been looking after Kassius since he was three - it's part of my world that very few people really ever understood about me. I love being a stepmom and the experience grounds me when nothing makes sense in my life," she said.
Sneak Peek: Victoria Beckham for French Elle
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Model/designer Victoria Beckham is back to work after giving birth to her daughter, Harper.
Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld photographed the former pop singer in the famed Parisian home of Coco Chanel. In a photo with the German designer himself, the mother of four gives a fierce pose in a Lanvin sweater paired with underwear by Eres and Giuseppe Zanotti boots. In another (seen after the jump), she wears the underwear paired with a white Fendi shirt and Sergio Rossi stilettos.
Beckham could hardly contain her excitement as she shared on Twitter, "I am thrilled to shoot with Karl. I have so much respect for him and I find him so inspiring. To shoot in Coco Chanel's apartment in the clothes of the house of Chanel is really a dream come true."
Lagerfeld appeared to have mutual admiration for the 38 year-old: "Victoria has an innate sense of style. She knows what she likes, and knows what is good for her."
The photos are set to appear in an upcoming issue of Elle France.

Kristen and Rob Photographed Together for First Time Since Split

A paparazzi picture is worth a thousand words.
True to the Hollywood style of confirming their reconciliation, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were photographed together outside a bar in Los Angeles for the first time since their much-publicized split.
"They seem to be attached to the hip again. They spent all weekend together. THey are back to hanging out with their old group of friends. Everything seems back to normal again," one source said.
While this is but one photo from their date night, Rob looks a tad indifferent to Kristen's seldom seen smile. Could it be that he's thinking of the mystery woman with whom he was photographed just last week in New York?
Or perhaps it's due to their approaching appearance for their upcoming Twilight film - the first scheduled red carpet event since their breakup. Is the reconciliation a publicity stunt to please and energize fans of the franchise? Time will soon tell if their love can last a press tour…

You can pick these up now for $300.
