Katie Price: Engaged to Leandro Penna!


Leandro Penna is set to marry Katie Price.

The voluptuous UK model, who only recently got divorced from Alex Reid, after getting divorced by Peter Andre not long before that, showed off her huge, sparkly, pink, heart-shaped diamond engagement ring this week.

Last night, she tweeted: "Wooo hooo so excited." Woo.

Katie Price, Leandro Penna

Katie's spokesman confirmed the engagement, telling The Sun: "It's true, they are engaged. Leandro proposed to Katie while they were away skiing recently and she said yes. They told her children but intended to keep it secret for a while."

"They are both very happy. No wedding arrangements have been made and they are both relaxed about that for the time being."

Katie Price and Leandro Penna, a model from Argentina, first met at Elton John's Oscars party last year. The mother of three has certainly been through a roller coaster in the romance department. Let's hope the third time's the charm?

Jack White Headed For First #1 Album

'I've got another 12 songs that I haven't finished yet,' White says of his extra tracks for another LP.
By Gil Kaufman

It's hard to believe, but restless rocker Jack White has never scored a #1 album. Not with the White Stripes, or with any of his other side bands (the Dead Weather, the Raconteurs).

But according to Billboard estimates, that drought may end next week when the #1 six-string hustler is predicted to take the top spot with his solo debut, Blunderbuss.

The disc is expected to move between 100,000-120,000 copies in an otherwise slow week. Though White has landed seven top 10 albums with his various other groups, his highest chart debut or peak with them was the White Stripes' 2007 masterpiece, Icky Thump, which came in and peaked at #2.

It should come as no surprise that the man who has made a career at juggling 50 things at once, and who is also working on his first soundtrack album for Johnny Depp's "Lone Ranger"
 movie, has plenty more music in the can. In addition to the 12 tracks he recorded for Blunderbuss, White told England's Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe that he's already got a stockpile of songs for a possible follow-up.

"We had enough for an album at one point, but I just kept going ... I've got another 12 songs that I haven't finished yet ... There's songs that White Stripes never really played live, or Raconteurs never really got that into, or songs that I brought to the table in a band - songs like '[I Cut Like a] Buffalo' - and now I can elaborate on them".

White is getting ready to hit the road with his unique band set-up, which consists of one all-male and one all-female crew
, who are not informed about whether they will play each night until just before the show. "The easy thing to do would be to go and find four or five guys to play in just like the record and stand behind me," he said. "I just didn't want to bore myself to death and bore people with that jazz and it just to just be some nostalgia thing."

TomTom's new sat nav: perfect for your van down by the river

TomTom's new sat nav: perfect for your van down by the river

If you're prone to hitting the road in a trailer or camper, you probably know that the road isn't exactly made to accommodate to your less-than-dainty vehicle. In a bid to express its deepest sympathies (and, you know, make money), TomTom is unveiling a device made specifically for caravan owners. In addition to offering the standard TomTom Live features for keeping up to date with traffic and weather reports, the Go Live Camper and Caravan includes warnings for narrow roads, low bridges and the like, and it also highlights the nearest rest stops and other points of interest for road trippers. And because you probably trade in that motorhome for a smaller set of wheels on occasion, TomTom lets you switch to a different profile, complete with customizable specifications for size, weight and speed. The Go Live Camper and Caravan will set you back £349.99, and as the price indicates, it's currently only set up to handle roads across the pond.

Tech Investors Dive Into Adrian Grenier?s New Beer Startup, Churchkey

Adrian-Grenier-flat-top-beer (2)Old movie buffs (and older readers) may remember a time when beer was sold in steel cans that were opened with a "church key." Entourage star Adrian Grenier is tapping into that nostalgia, we hear, with a new beer startup he's cofounding, Churchkey Can Co. The cans are the old-timey variety that you probably haven?t seen since the 60s. They?re made of fully-recyclable steel, and require a churchkey opener to get into. You puncture one corner of the top, then make a deeper puncture on the other side to drink out of. Ever noticed a triangle-shaped piece of metal on the other end of some bottle openers? It?s for these types of cans.

Is Believe The Place For Justin Bieber's Baby Mama Drama?

Pop star said he wrote about his 2011 paternity controversy on the upcoming album.
By John Mitchell

<P>Sometimes you just have some things to get off your chest. </P><P> </P><P>For teen pop phenom <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>, one of those things is a <a href="/news/articles/1673599/justin-bieber-baby-claim.jhtml">paternity suit</a> filed last year by a 20-year-old California woman claiming that a brief bathroom rendezvous with him following an October 2010 concert resulted in her pregnancy. </P><P> </P><P>Rather than ignore the matter, Bieber is <a href="/news/articles/1683817/justin-bieber-believe-paternity-scandal-song.jhtml">confronting it head on</a> with his new album <i>Believe.</i> "That girl &#8212; Mariah Yeater &#8212; who said she was going to have my baby. I wrote about that situation," Bieber told the BBC of his new album. "Every song has a piece of me... I wrote almost all of them or co-wrote them." </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:757407/cp~id%3D1682760%26vid%3D757407%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A757407" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>The case, which Yeater dropped in November, has many wondering if Bieber was wise to commit his feelings to something as public and eternal as an album, or if he should have just let go of what was really a minor controversy. </P><P> </P><P>Though few believed them, the rumors introduced Bieber to one of the many pitfalls of celebrity and briefly overwhelmed his press cycle when he was trying to promote his Christmas album, <i>Under the Mistletoe.</i> The accusation challenged his family-friendly brand, something <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/11/10/justin-bieber-legal-expert-weighs-in-on-paternity-case/">family law expert told MTV News</a> could be grounds for a defamation of character suit. </P><P> </P><P>The suit likely weighed heavily on Bieber, regardless of its merit, making it prime material for his songwriting. But does dragging it all back into the public sphere benefit him in any tangible way? His <a href="/news/articles/1683621/justin-bieber-paternity-accuser-message.jhtml">recent tweet about Yeater</a> &#8212; which read, "Dear mariah yeeter...we have never met...so from the heart i just wanted to say..." accompanied by an audio clip of Sasha Baron Cohen's character Borat saying, "You will never get this" &#8212; was neither subtle nor particularly sophisticated. And since details of the suit were made so public and remain fresh in the minds of his fans, why restart the conversation if there is nothing new to add? </P><P> </P><P>Responding to your own press is a slippery slope for celebrities, and it can do one of two things: clear the air or consume the conversation. </P><P>For Madonna and Michael Jackson, it did the former. "Billie Jean," Michael Jackson's classic declaration that he was not the father, was wrapped in a bit of mystery. There have long been contradictory claims that the song is about groupies MJ encountered early in his fame and that it was derived from a real-life experience in which a mentally ill fan claimed that Jackson had fathered her child. But it really doesn't matter; we just know that these accusations were out there, so MJ decided to shut it down with a song. </P><P> </P><P>The difference is, Bieber's controversy is already over and, considering few people ever believed the claims, was never a huge deal to begin with. </P><P> </P><P>Ever an expert at handling the press, Madonna held her head high when she addressed the massive backlash she encountered after she pressed through her sexually charged <i>Erotica</i>-era with a lone song, "Human Nature." She posited that people's anger with her had more to do with their own hang-ups than with her behavior and refused to apologize. Madonna knew she'd struck a nerve and defiantly declared, "Absolutely no regrets." </P><P> </P><P>She dually stood her ground and introduced something new to the conversation. With "Human Nature," Madonna held up a mirror to the public and asked "Is it really my sexuality you are uncomfortable with?" </P><P>Bieber needs to pay particular attention to this lest he fall hard into Taylor Swift territory, where the artist is practically expected to directly address the minutia of their private lives in every song. </P><P> </P><P>First, it was <a href="/news/articles/1599032/taylor-swift-explains-why-she-was-open-about-joe-jonas-breakup.jhtml">Joe Jonas with "Forever &amp; Always,"</a> then John Mayer on "Dear John" and <a href="/news/articles/1650042/taylor-swift-needed-to-perform-innocent-at-vmas.jhtml">Kanye West on "Innocent."</a> It's important, of course, for a singer/ songwriter to write what they know, but there's a reason we only just learned <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/02/the-man-who-inspired-adeles-rolling-in-the-deep-revealed/" target="_blank">who the subject</a> of Adele's multiplatinum, Grammy-winning <i>21</i> was (and why she's never confirmed it). </P><P> </P><P>We want to be able to apply a song's emotion to our own lives, but it's hard to do that when a track is either too specific or too self-indulgent. We haven't heard Bieber's song about Yeater, so we can't speak to whether it is either. If he has something new to say about the controversy &#8212; perhaps how it felt to be betrayed by one of his fans &#8212; then he may have found a way to turn lemons into lemonade. </P><P> </P><P>But if all he brings to the table are boasts about not being the father, well, then he should get ready for questions about how literal his love songs are regarding his relationship with Selena Gomez. Once you open the door and make your private life the subject of your professional endeavors, there's no turning back.</p>

Kris Jenner to Lamar Odom: Quit the NBA!


This is very sad but true: Kris Jenner had a better year than Lamar Odom.

The matriarch of the richest family on reality TV just negotiated a new $40 million deal for her children... while a listless Odom averaged a career low in points and rebounds and was cut by the Mavs.

So we suppose it's not too shocking that Jenner thinks she can offer her son-in-law professional advice which, according to a Hollywood Life insider, goes like this: forget the NBA. Focus on E!.

Lamar Odom in Action

“Kris is eager for Khloe and Lamar to do another season of their reality show," this Kardashian source claims, but:

"[Khloe] doesn’t want to push Lamar into doing anything he doesn’t want to do because she knows it will only backfire. Kris thinks doing another season will help their relationship, but the real reason she wants them to do another season of Khloe & Lamar is because she thinks the show keeps them relevant."

However, someone close to the NBA thinks Lamar needs to make a choice - and that choice is clear if he wants to ball professionally again.

“Teams have to deal with enough, and these outside distractions will not be welcomed," this insider says. "Teams are now worrying about younger and cheaper players that are not headcases who do reality shows - they are against it.”

What do YOU think Lamar do with his career?

European Patent Office invalidates IPCom 3G patent, gives good news to Nokia and HTC

European Patent Office invalidates IPCom 3G patent, gives good news to Nokia and HTCIPCom's had its way with many mobile manufacturers, including Nokia and HTC, by suing them for patent infringement in German courts. However, the Finnish and Taiwanese firms got good news today when the European Patent Office invalidated one of its 3G patents -- the very same one it used to obtain an injunction against HTC. IPCom's not going away quietly, however, as it plans to appeal the EPO's decision. That means that the folks in Espoo and Taoyuan City aren't out of the woods yet -- but it should at least give them a bit more bargaining power in negotiations to end their (seemingly endless) legal spats.

Lava's Medfield-based Xolo X900 smartphone gets reviewed by AnandTech

Image

We briefly got our hands on the Medfield-based Xolo X900 back in February, and have seen some benchmarks from Lenovo's K800 (based on the same reference design), but AnandTech has now provided a typically thorough review of the device that's ushering in Intel's new push into smartphones. In short, the phone is a solid first step, but not something that AnandTech sees as a flagship device. Battery life is respectable and performance is even better (scoring among the top of the heap in most benchmarks), and both the screen and camera manage to impress, but AnandTech didn't find anything that pulled the device ahead of the competition. In its own words, "on the one hand it's a good thing that you can't tell an Intel smartphone apart from one running an ARM based SoC, on the other hand it does nothing to actually sell the Intel experience." Hit the source link below for the full review and benchmarks.
