Hugh Hefner Bumps Up Release of Lohan’s Nude Playboy Issue
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Photos,
Due to the leak of Playboy's January/February issue, which features a nude photo spread of cover girl Lindsay Lohan, Hugh Hefner has made the executive decision to release the issue to newsstands earlier than expected.
"Because of the interest & the Internet leak, we're releasing the Lindsay Lohan issue early," Hef wrote on his Twitter.
The leak isn't surprising, considering how mysteriously quick the internet manages to find nude celebrity photos. If the internet can find Scarlett Johansson's and Blake Lively's nude cell phone photos, they were sure to find Lindsay's Playboy ones.. Then again, I also wouldn't be surprised if someone at the magazine leaked it themselves!
"The Lindsay Lohan pictorial has been leaked on the Internet & is causing a sensation," Hef posted, believing that it will become "a true Collector's Edition."
No word yet as to how early the release date will be.

"Wow what an inspiring day ... Many tears were shed and many memories were brought back at Timberline Knolls today. Today I went back to the treatment center I went to last year, to speak to the beautiful women fighting their inner demons was so honored. To be able to share my story and let them know that it gets easier. Life is beautiful ... You are worthy of it. Please say a prayer for all of those struggling with eating disorders, self harm, mood disorders, and substance abuse. (sic)" she wrote on her Twitter.

50 Cent Returning to Hip Hop Roots
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,
50 Cent's new album will see him return to hip-hop's roots. The "In Da Club" rapper is currently finishing recording of his fifth album, and while he doesn't think it will be as popular as his debut Get Rich or Die Tryin, or its follow-up The Massacre, he says fans will respect the classic musical direction he is heading in.
"My next album is gonna shake things up a bit. It has the elements that were in hip-hop that I fell in love with in the beginning (sic). I hate to speak on my music 'cause it speaks for itself. I can't sell 12 mill like I did on GRODT Or 10 mill like the massacre, but prepare for impact #SK (sic) If you call yourself a true fan of music you understand. The first album is your introduction to the world," he wrote on Twitter.
He then listed classic hip-hop debuts by New York rappers: Nas' Illmatic, Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, and Notorious B.IG's Ready to Die, to compare the record to.

Selena Gomez’s Dog Swallows Rocks
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars,
Selena Gomez's dog almost died after eating rocks.
The singer-and-actress was devastated when three-month-old puppy Baylor got violently ill last Friday after ingesting a large amount of small boulders. So Selena - who adopted the pup last month with boyfriend Justin Bieber - took him to the vet, where he underwent surgery.
"My baby is sick :( praying for his surgery. (sic)" she wrote on Twitter.
The adoption agency the couple got Baylor from will now visit Selena once a month to make sure she is caring for the pooch properly. Justin and Selena - who has five rescue dogs - adopted Baylor after visiting the Winnipeg animal rescue centre D'Arcy's ARC, where they fell in love with him.

Ashton Kutcher Stops Tweeting
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Sports,
Ashton Kutcher has given up Tweeting by himself.
The Two and a Half Men actor is one of the most popular people on social networking site Twitter with over eight million followers, but after making an ill-advised comment seemingly defending NFL coach Joe Paterno - who was fired for allegedly covering up child abuse by his assistant coach - he stopped tweeting. "As of immediately I will stop tweeting until I find a way to properly manage this feed. I feel awful about this error," he wrote last night.
Today, Ashton has come up with a solution, and from now on his thoughts will be filtered through his media team. "Up until today I have posted virtually every one of my tweets on my own, but clearly the platform has become too big to be managed by a single individual. A collection of over 8 million followers is not to be taken for granted. I'm going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it's content. My sincere apologies to anyone who I have offended. It was a mistake that I don't think will happen again," he wrote in a blog post.
Ashton also clarified his controversial tweet, saying he had merely seen that Joe had been fired, and incorrectly presumed it was because of his age, rather than other controversies.
iOS 5 review

Edit: Be sure to check out our iPhone 4S review as well!
Back in June, I detailed the nine features that I wanted Apple to include in iOS 5—features that would fix obvious OS flaws and expand upon its already rock-solid foundation. Days later, at WWDC 2011, Apple revealed a handful of the "200 new features" that would comprise Cupertino's latest mobile operating system—many of which were what I and droves of other iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users had desired for some time. Fast forward to today: iOS 5 is now here, and it surpasses iOS 4 with its overhauled alerts and notification system, wireless syncing, the ability for users to activate iPads without first connecting them to a Mac or PC, and many other much-welcomed features. No operating system—be it mobile or desktop—is without flaws, but Apple iOS 5 manages to keep the dings to a minimum and retains its place as the best phone and tablet operating system. Note: iOS 5 is only compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch 3rd Generation, iPod touch 4th gen, iPad, and iPad 2.
Now, let's get to the review, shall we?

Will ‘Steve Jobs Day’ become a permanent memorial?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple,
Little did a small group of fans know that declaring "Steve Jobs Day" on Oct. 14 would have such a potential impact.
With Apple's announcement of former chief executive Steve Jobs' death at 56, the declaration of Steve Jobs Day - the day that the iPhone 4S goes on sale - has taken on additional poignancy. And the Facebook page dedicated to the event has become one of the first online memorials in the wake of Jobs' passing, besides Twitter, where the "RIP Steve Jobs" hashtag has dominated the online medium.
“We admire his work,” reads the Steve Jobs Day Web site. “We’ve embraced his vision. And we love what he’s brought to the world. Let’d take a day to honor the man himself and say thank you. Everyone around the world is invited to participate – in real life, Facebook, Twitter, and here.”
