The pressure eases on Tito: Jenna could land Broadway gig
Jenna Jameson became a rich woman in her first go-round as an actor. Of course, she was playing herself in those adult films. Now she's really wants to show off her acting chops. The N.Y. Post reports Jameson is a strong candidate for a role in the hit Broadway show "Rock of Ages.""... I'm praying I get the role," Jameson told The Post. "Broadway has always been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. I am really excited."The show's producers are impressed with the former porn queen.A show source told us, "The producers were surprised, but Jenna has a good voice. And while she's famous for her X-rated movies, she can act. This may be a shock to traditional Broadway fans, but the show is always trying to push the boundaries."Jameson hit the casting couch today in the Big Apple"I'm meeting with the producers [today], and I just hope I have enough talent to carry the role. We are talking about a run that would be anything from a month to three months, and it could start very soon. I think I'm perfect for the role, and I am really looking forward to becoming a New Yorker."What do this mean for her husband Tito Ortiz? With Jameson moving from Huntington Beach, Ca. to New York, life could be more or less complicated. He was smart in marrying up. Now Jameson may be on the verge on having more resources to support her hubby. If Ortiz loses this weekend, he may done with the UFC. Tito is 0-3-1 dating back to late 2006. All they have to need now is some marital peace. Ortiz told USA Today that the couple hit again the skids during the last month.

Usher Remembers Being A 'Pizza Face' On 'When I Was 17'
'I had really, really bad acne ' he admits in Saturday's episode. By Mawuse Ziegbe

He's known as one of the smoothest R&B sensations to grace the stage, but when Usher was 17, he grappled with a far less flattering image.
"I went through this phase where I had really, really bad acne," the singer admits on the latest episode of "When I Was 17," premiering Saturday at 11 a.m. Usher, who was 17 in 1995, reveals with a grin that his nickname was "Pizza Face."
"His acne was so horrible," recalled one of Usher's more blunt friends, Keith. "His face was so jacked up."
Music mogul and producer Jermaine Dupri remembered how the entertainer's spotty complexion led him to shy away from the spotlight.
"He didn't want to go out. He wanted to stay in," Dupri says. "He was a little ashamed of what was going on with his face."
The singer went to extreme, and ultimately unsuccessful, lengths to disguise his breakouts.
"As a dude, you're not gonna put makeup on your face, right?" Usher said. "I tried that, it didn't even work."
He may have experimented with cosmetics and spent a few more nights at home but the multiplatinum star didn't let his acne hold him back from wooing the ladies. "I was 17, so I would still try to talk to girls [and] get past it," Usher reasoned.
He even had some smooth lines to drop when he wanted to draw attention away from his skin. " 'Don't look at that, look at my eyes, baby. I'm trying to say something real serious to you right here,' " Usher recalled, reenacting his complexion-deflecting dating moves. "I know I have pizza face, I don't care."
In the end, his skin cleared up and the singer said it was just a matter of riding out a rite passage that many teens are forced to endure.
"This is something that all 17-year-olds have to deal with," Usher said. "You can't run away from it."

Ellen DeGeneres Grills Taylor Swift About Jake Gyllenhaal
Taylor Swift has no problem opening up (and singing about) her exes -- just ask Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and (quite possibly) John Mayer! But how does she bode when asked about her current rumored beau Jake Gyllenhaal?
During a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show the Grammy winner was grilled by the host on her status and whether she's getting cozy with the actor.
"Are you optimistic about love?" Ellen DeGeneres asked Swift, 20. "How do you feel about love right now?" The singer attempted to dodge the question, saying, "I'm always optimistic about love." But DeGeneres asked again, "So you're always optimistic about love?"
This time Swift was a little flustered. "Yes, always...sometimes," she said. "Why wouldn't anyone be?" But the always-ready DeGeneres responded coyly: "Especially if your boyfriend is Jake Gyllenhaal, because he is very handsome... Y'all are just hanging out though, right?"
Swift, who is promoting her latest album Speak Now, did not confirm whether she's actually dating Gyllenhaal, 29, but she did admit that the two dined together in Brooklyn. Swift then asked DeGeneres and her audience, "You have a picture of us on the (TV) screen, don't you?"
Though DeGeneres enjoyed teasing the country darling, it was clear she's a major supporter of the possibly blossoming relationship. "I'm just saying he's adorable and I like him very much, and so if that is the case that he's your boyfriend, I think that's fantastic," she said.
Still, DeGeneres does have her doubts for Gyllenhaal (who, coincidentally appeared in the same Vampire Weekend music video as Swift's ex Joe Jonas!). Joking about Swift's habit of writing about romances gone awry, the host pointed out: "Wouldn't he be nervous if anything goes wrong?"
Do you think Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal would make for a cute couple, too? Chime in below!

CCleaner version 3 goes 64-bit, adds secure disk wipe, Windows 7 integration
Filed under: Utilities, Windows
When it comes to system cleanup programs, CCleaner is pretty much the hands-down favorite with Download Squad readers. It's been a trusted tool for years, and the newly-released CCleaner 3 is better than ever.
What's new in v3? To start, there's now a native 64-bit version in both the installer and portable CCleaner. Windows 7 users also get the benefit of a handy jump list, which offers quick access to the cleaner, registry scanner, tools, and options pages. There's also a new disk wiping tool included which supports DOD, NSA, and Gutmann standards.
CCleaner 3 has improved support for Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome, and Silverlight. Perhaps the app's best new feature is support for HTML5 localStorage objects -- which many websites are now using to store persistent user data.

Irked by UFC 121 Mexican angle? Then don't watch this new promo
Are you bothered by the UFC running with the "first Mexican heavyweight champion" angle to push Cain Velasquez's title challenge against Brock Lesnar? You say yes? Are you going to boycott the show? If not, pipe down. Things are finally heating up with this awesome video (NSFW) that finishes with a bold statement: "You just [expletive] with the wrong Mexican!" The Spanish promo prominently employs Lesnar's Hispanic heritage jab during Countdown to UFC 121:"Listen, when I get done whooping your ass, I'm gonna do drink a Corona and
eat a burrito just for your Hispanic heritage," said Lesnar (video -1:15 mark). "How about
that?" Kevin Iole and I have covered boxing for a long time and this kind of marketing is pervasive and frankly a must in the fight game. We discuss the "outrage" on the part of some bloggers and fans. Message boards are filled with debates over Velasquez's "Brown Pride" tattoo and the UFC's use of the young Latino star to market MMA to Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.MMAforReal points out that the Mexican fighter angle for UFC 121 coincides with Top Rank Promotion's effort to sell the Antonio Margarito-Manny Pacquiao fight on Nov. 13. Both Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotion have no issue setting up nationalistic storylines. Tip via Twitter.com/SI_JoshGross

Michael Jackson Doctors Won't Be Charged In Singer's Death
California state investigators will not file charges against seven other doctors who treated the late star.By Mawuse Ziegbe

Seven doctors who treated the late Michael Jackson will not be charged in the singer's death. According to The Associated Press California officials said Wednesday (July 28) that they will not file charges against the doctors who were under scrutiny as part of an investigation launched by the state's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement.
Jackson passed away in June 2009 after suffering cardiac arrest. His personal doctor Conrad Murray — who was not one of the seven doctors included in the investigation — has been charged in his death and pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter after allegedly giving the star the potent anesthetic propofol.
"I am very disappointed," said Brian Oxman, an attorney for Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson. "The misuse of medications by Michael Jackson in the last years of his life was excessive and to fail to bring that to the public eye is ignoring reality." Oxman is serving as Joe Jackson's lawyer in a wrongful death suit against Murray.
Bureau spokesperson Christine Gasparac told the AP that one of the doctors who was under investigation was referred to the California Medical Board for prescribing drugs to one of Jackson's aliases, however, a spokesperson for the board did not confirm the referral. A spokesperson for the Drug Enforcement Agency told the AP that it has also dropped its investigation into Jackson's doctors.
Murray lawyer Ed Chernoff has maintained that the doctor did not administer a fatal dose of propofol and has suggested that either Jackson gave himself the anesthetic or another person may have supplied the late star with the dose. However, an anesthesia expert has said the possibility of Jackson administering the drug himself is unlikely.
A preliminary hearing in the Jackson manslaughter case is slated for August and Murray faces a sentence of up to four years in jail.

30 Seconds To Mars, Ke$ha Plan Big VMA Arrivals
Can this year's nominees rival the elephants and yachts of years past?By James Montgomery

For much of the past decade, the MTV Video Music Awards has really been two shows: The one where they hand out the Moonmen, and the one that occurs on the red carpet, where the stars try their very best to outdo each other with over-the-top arrivals.
From yachts to 18-wheel trucks, elephants to horse-drawn carriages, how you arrive at the VMAs has become just as important as whether you take home an award. As you can probably imagine, sometimes, things get a little crazy.
"Usually, artists don't let us know [how they're arriving] until the last minute, which makes things interesting," Video Music Awards Pre-Show executive producer Ryan Kroft told MTV News. "A lot of times, they'll want to do things like land a hot-air balloon on the carpet, or drive a car down the carpet, but generally, the fire marshal frowns on those kinds of things, so we have to tell them 'no.' "
Still, there are plenty of ideas that do get the green light, and they're just as epic as the stars that thought them up. And this year's VMA arrivals are no different, though for aesthetic reasons, they're slightly scaled back.
"In New York, we had stars arriving on a fire truck, a double-decker bus, but that wouldn't play this year," Kroft said. "The carpet is designed to look like the stars are arriving at a Hollywood Hills mansion — white, chrome, glass — so having someone arrive with a marching band would seem somewhat out of place."
But there are big arrivals nonetheless: One of the biggest involves 30 Seconds to Mars, who have already started touting their entrance as being thoroughly crazy.
"30 Seconds to Mars are recreating a scene from their 'Kings and Queens' video," Kroft explained. "They'll have an army of bicyclists arriving with them, and they'll be riding bikes themselves. Most of the bicyclists are from the video."
Going equally big is Ke$ha, who has a few surprises ready for the VMA carpet. We don't want to give it all away, but here's what we can reveal: "Ke$ha has big plans for the carpet. I can't talk about all of them, but she is arriving in a Delorean, which she got herself," Kroft said. "It'll be like 'Back to the Future.' "
And, in keeping with grand tradition, there are still plenty of stars who haven't said how they're going to be arriving — Jay Sean is planning something "big and sexy," Soulja Boy Tell'em has some swaggadocious plans in the works, and Bruno Mars is still plotting, too — and then, there's Lady Gaga, who ... well, you never know what she'll do.
"We still don't know what some people are doing," Kroft laughed. "The only way you'll know is to tune in to the VMA Pre-Show and watch."
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday.

Going equally big is Ke$ha, who has a few surprises ready for the VMA carpet. We don't want to give it all away, but here's what we can reveal: "Ke$ha has big plans for the carpet. I can't talk about all of them, but she is arriving in a Delorean, which she got herself," Kroft said. "It'll be like 'Back to the Future.' "
And, in keeping with grand tradition, there are still plenty of stars who haven't said how they're going to be arriving — Jay Sean is planning something "big and sexy," Soulja Boy Tell'em has some swaggadocious plans in the works, and Bruno Mars is still plotting, too — and then, there's Lady Gaga, who ... well, you never know what she'll do.
"We still don't know what some people are doing," Kroft laughed. "The only way you'll know is to tune in to the VMA Pre-Show and watch."
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday.

Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 adds Web and URL scanning, nixes the nag screens
Filed under: Security
Panda launched their lightweight Cloud Antivirus app just under a year ago, and it's already received a number of significant updates and improvements. Today, they're announcing the release of Cloud Antivirus 1.3 -- and a few more cool feature additions.
Probably the most significant addition is Cloud AV's ability to filter malicious URLs and websites -- regardless of which browser you're using. Using the Web filter does require installing a toolbar, but that's a trade-off some of your less security-minded friends and family might be willing to make.
Other changes include improvements to Cloud AV's behavioral and blocking rules, which Panda now updates on the fly. Cloud Antivirus also now updates all of its rules and even installs program updates without requiring user interaction. The icing on the v1.3 cake is Panda's decision to remove the nag screens.
Now, I'm not one to complain too much about a free antivirus program that pops up the odd banner advertising a company's paid products... but if Panda's willing to get rid of the nags in Cloud AV, that's just fine with me. You will still see a promotional pop-up for the pro version during the install process, but according to the official blog post that's all, folks.

Want A Free Google TV? Become A Developer; Google Is Giving Away 10,000
Google TV is now out there in the wild. There's no indication of how it's selling just yet, but my hunch is that like early Android, it may be some time before sales really take off. That shouldn't be too surprising considering that the platform is built on top of Android. But there aren't a lot of apps and sites yet that are tailored for these new devices. They need more. And they know the way to get them. Free giveaways!
As they've announced on their Google TV blog today, the search giant is giving away 10,000 Google TV units to developers. Yes, 10,000.

White sees some of himself in the students at Oxford
On the surface, Dana White wouldn't appear to have much in common with the students at Oxford. Coming from a middle class background in South Boston and Las Vegas, he's a brash, in-your-face type of guy. White, a former amateur boxer, who has helped to re-invent the fight business. Just before he spoke to the Oxford Union, White said he'd already seen lots of fighters on campus. "Some of the kids I met here today, these guys are animals. These guys are ambitious," White told The Telegraph's Gareth A. Davies (5:15 mark). "I think a lot of people look (at these students) on the outside and think 'oh, Oxford yuppies.' These guys are animals, man. You don't want to go toe-to-toe with half the kids who go to this school."White says anyone who wants to get ahead in life has to have that fighting spirit. "I believe you're in a fight everyday. I don't care what you're doing, you're in there fighting for something everyday," said White. "Everyone who even has this much [holds his fingers close together] ambition is in a fight everyday."White said speaking at Oxford was one of his prouder moments. He joined quite the list of dignitaries who've spoken there in the past. In 1964, Malcolm X Shabazz also spoke to the Oxford Union about the need to fight.

No custom ringtones for Windows Phone 7? (video)
We just sat through an eight minute long video of someone at Pocketnow sampling every ringtone on his HTC Surround. Why did we do this? Just wanted to see if we could stand it; suffice it to say, we never want to hear a ringtone again. Perhaps more importantly, our man points out that Microsoft seems to have left the ability to add your own custom ringtones out of Windows Phone 7 altogether. The Surround itself has a couple recognizable fan favorites that we recognize from AT&T and HTC phones past, so it looks like manufacturers and carriers will be able to bring their own to the table, but for the end user, it looks like you won't be able to roll your own -- at least for the time being. And now we're going to go put our phones on vibrate.Continue reading No custom ringtones for Windows Phone 7? (video)No custom ringtones for Windows Phone 7?

LDK Solar Inks $300 Million Deal With BYD
Several big names in solar have settled from recent highs on Wall Street, but there's still a lot of money running into the sector.
On Monday morning, LDK Solar announced that it has locked up a new two-year sales deal with Chinese juggernaut BYD worth roughly $300 million. Under the deal, LDK will provide monthly shipments of polysilicon starting on January 2011.
It's another win for the solar wafer manufacturer, which earlier this month raised its third quarter guidance about 7% to a range of $610 to $640 million. In addition to raising its outlook, LDK noted that shipments of solar wafers and modules were outpacing demand.

Winamp for Android beta is full-featured and offers wireless media sync
Filed under: Audio, AndroidEarlier today Nullsoft pushed a beta version of Winamp onto the Android Market -- it's free, and should work on all Android 2.1+ phones. There is also a new desktop version of Winamp that you'll need ('full', not 'lite'!) to make full use of the Android app.
Winamp for Android's key feature -- and indeed, the only real feature that it brings to a very saturated media player market -- is that it wirelessly syncs with your desktop Winamp music library. You can also sync via USB (which is a lot faster). I ran into a few issues trying to sync with Wi-Fi, but it did eventually work.
Nullsoft's offering doesn't bring a whole lot more to the party. There is a desktop widget, so you can control your music without having to open Winamp -- and it can also hook into your phone's lock screen, which is neat. The playback controls are available at the bottom of every screen, too -- so whether you're curating a playlist or searching through albums, you can still stop and start the music. Oh, there's Last.fm scrobbling too!
All in all it's a very promising start for Winamp on Android. It's not mind-blowingly awesome, but if you use Winamp on the desktop, this app is surely a must-have.
Check out the gallery below for a better idea of the 'omnipresent' playback controls, and the wireless sync.

Adam Lambert's 'Whole Lotta Love': The Story Behind The Cover
Glam rocker tackled the legendary 1970 Led Zeppelin song for 'American Idol' rock night.By Gil Kaufman
Adam Lambert performs "Whole Lotta Love" on "American Idol" on Tuesday
Photo: R. Mickshaw/Getty Images/ Fox
Imagine a freight train speeding toward you at midnight. Or a rockslide barreling down a hill as you try to outrace it. That's the feeling of the ominous, chugging Jimmy Page riff that kicks off Led Zeppelin's 1970 Stonehenge of rock, "Whole Lotta Love." And that's before singer Robert Plant leans into one of the nastiest, ecstatic rock screams this side of the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."
That's the song Adam Lambert chose to sing on "American Idol" rock night Tuesday (May 5), and, needless to say, it was a challenge that the eyeliner-loving Los Angeles stage veteran was more than up for, hitting a series of high notes and rock screams that would have made Plant proud. It was a risky maneuver that paid off for Lambert, who chose a tune that came in at #75 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004.
The legendary British rock act recorded the tribute to Chicago blues icon Willie Dixon during their second U.S. tour after working it out in their live show, including it on their 1969 classic album Led Zeppelin II. Like many of the songs Zeppelin performed early in their career, "Love" was a blues standard turned on its head with a heavy dose of crunching psychedelic guitar and thundering drums, courtesy of late drummer John Bonham. The song was based on a 1962 tune by another blues forefather, Muddy Waters, called "You Need Love," which was penned by Dixon.
For Zeppelin's version, Plant customized the lyrics by adding some lyrical quotes from a few other songs Dixon wrote for Howlin' Wolf, "Back Door Man" and "Shake For Me," nailing the tricky vocal in a single take. It was also inspired by 1966's "You Need Loving" from the British rock group the Small Faces, for whom Zeppelin had great affection, but they also did not credit Dixon for his part in writing the original lyrics. The song became Zeppelin's first U.S. single and their only U.S. top 10 hit. Though their manager would not let them release singles in the U.K. because he thought it cannibalized album sales, the song was finally released as the band's only British single in 1997.
Dixon sued Zeppelin over the song in 1985, claiming it borrowed too heavily from his "You Need Love," and Zeppelin reached an agreement with him, with Dixon using the money he received to set up a program that provided musical instruments for schools. A cornerstone of heavy rock, the tune -- which was the theme song for the long-running British countdown show "Top of the Pops" in the 1970s and '80s -- has been covered by dozens of artists over the years, from Tina Turner and Ben Harper to Prince, Slash, Leona Lewis, Train's Pat Monahan, the London Symphony Orchestra and Jane's Addiction.

Boy, That Escalated Quickly. Chrome 8 Beta Due Shortly, Chromium Hits Version 9
Whenever I ask Google about the versions of Chrome and Chromium, they're quick to point out that the numbers don't mean much these days. That said, they still show how quickly the search giant is able to get features implemented that they want to see in their browser. And they're apparently not happy with the already fast speed at which things are progressing. They want things to go faster. So they're working to speed things up even more.
A posting in their Chromium Google Group notes they'd like Chrome 8 to hit the beta stage sometime in the next several days.

Firefox 4 edges out Chrome in SunSpider test
Filed under: Browsers
You may not be checking in on AreWeFastYet.com all that often. You may even have not known it existed until just now. Whatever the case may be, there's a very good reason to pay attention to Mozilla's Firefox 4 performance gauge.
In tonight's test run, Firefox's SpiderMonkey and the JIT tandem of JägerMonkey and TraceMonkey finally beat Google Chrome's V8 engine in a SunSpider benchmark showdown. If you take a look at the current chart, you'll see that Firefox has is even getting close on Google's own V8 benchmark -- cutting its time in half over the last two months.
I've been impressed over the last couple of days with the feel of speed in the latest Minefield builds and I didn't really need to see Mozilla's chart to know what was happening -- but it definitely provides confirmation. If you haven't tried a nightly build of Firefox 4 in a while and found yourself poo-pooing its JavaScript performance last time, you really should give it another go.

Akiyama might actually employ a strategy against Bisping
The days of fighting overmatched or undersized opponents are over. Yoshihiro Akiyama was a big box office draw while fighting in Japan so promoters teneded to make sure the Asian megastar was showcased in his matches. In the UFC, he's just one of the herd at middleweight. He's put on two awesome shows in going 1-1 but he doesn't like a middleweight title contender and without a win over Michael Bisping, he may be in jeopardy of getting that big fight against, Wanderlei Silva.What's been the problem? Simply stated, Akiyama doesn't look like he's played to his strengths in either fight. Instead, he chose to slug it out with both Alan Belcher and Chris Leben.Akiyama explained that he had no choice against Leben, who was a late replacement."There were certain things holding me back from fighting my best in that fight," said Akiyama through his translator Ryo Ishibashi. "I felt like I didn’t have enough time to prepare for my opponent. And so during the fight I wasn’t able to come up with a strategy that is specifically for Chris Leben."It seems a bit preposterous considering that Leben fights one way. "The Crippler" comes straight forward and tries to land left hay-makers. Instead of trying to take the fight to the ground, use his kicks, make sure he circled to his left, Akiyama stood right in front of Leben. Even worse, Akiyama tired badly for the second straight time. If anything, it should've been Leben who gassed. He was the one coming off a week's rest. Akiyama has pulled out all the stops to try and become a smarter fighter. He spent time with the strategical guru, trainer Greg Jackson in Albuquerque. During the UFC 120 conference call, it sounded as if Bisping isn't buying that some massive change is coming with Akiyama's style.I’m expecting him to come in hard and fast, looking for the knockout. Obviously, he’s got good judo. And I don’t feel a couple of weeks at Greg Jackson’s is ultimately going to make much difference to how he performs," said Bisping. "You know, two – he can go train anywhere for two weeks, but all the years of training that he’s done prior to that are what’s important."This is also a huge fight for Bisping, who can't afford another tumble down the 185-pound ladder.

Lukewarm Early Reviews May Bog Down WinPho 7
The first reviews of Windows Phone 7 smartphones -- the Samsung Focus and the HTC HD7 -- are in, and they range from lukewarm at the low end to acceptable. Will smartphone buyers be influenced by the reviews? Or do they generally decide what they want first, then go get it? Will the reception for WinPho 7 and smartphones running the operating system make Microsoft's future or break it?

UFC 121 picks, Vegas-style: Velasquez looks to ruin 'Brocktober'
After UFC 100, Brock Lesnar was labeled an unstoppable force. Following a rough performance at UFC 116 against Shane Carwin, that kind of talk has died down. Was Lesnar overrated or is Carwin just that good? The next guy to put Lesnar's reputation to the test is Cain Velasquez. He's getting a lot of respect from bettors and fight insiders. Is he big enough to lock horns with Lesnar? Or will he wear out the monster? Damon Martin from MMAWeekly and Larry Pepe from ProMMARadio joined me on RawVegas.tv to breakdown the big fights in Anaheim this weekend.

Lady Gaga Challenger 'Confident' She Could Win In A Sing-Off
'I had my fans writing to me and saying, 'Hey, I think you're better than Lady Gaga,' ' Alisa Apps says on MTV's 'The Seven.'By Mawuse Ziegbe

Upstart vocalist Alisa Apps has nabbed headlines by challenging megastar pop queen Lady Gaga to a $1 million singing contest. To some onlookers, the contest may have appeared to come out of nowhere, but Apps has explained that her dedicated fans urged her to take on Mother Monster. During an interview that aired Friday (October 15) on MTV's "The Seven," the singer detailed the origins of the vocal battle.
"I had my fans writing to me and saying, 'Hey, I think you're better than Lady Gaga and ... it'd be cool for you to challenge her somehow,' " Apps told "Seven" host Kevin.
The singer maintained that her goal isn't to make nice with Gaga and added that a little rivalry keeps everyone on their toes.
"It's not really about co-existing," Apps said. "I think that competition is a good thing. It makes things more fun and exciting."
Gaga's camp was mum when MTV News reached out for comment about the challenge a few days ago, and Apps revealed that she hasn't "heard anything yet from her camp but I'm excited to."
Although no word about the challenge has surfaced from the "Bad Romance" diva, Apps still seems ready to show off her skills in a singing smack-down.
"I'm confident that, yeah, I am a better singer than her," she said.
When Apps first proposed the $1 million contest, which would entail both singers belting out a series of songs for a panel of judges who would determine the victor, she said she felt it would be the ultimate clash of genuine musicianship versus slick music-industry marketing.
"I feel sorry for Lady Gaga — she's just a plastic doll generated by the music money marketing machine," Apps said a press release. "I stand for the voice of your heart. Be real with me. Come to my world and feel. I want to hear you and for you to hear me. This contest gives people a chance to choose which they prefer: plastic or real."

Chilean Miner Rescue is a very slow-paced and heart-warming Time Waster
Filed under: Games, Time-WastersBefore you get your hopes up, this is not an exciting game by any means. Chilean Miner Rescue is a celebration more than anything else -- a heart-warming tribute to perseverance!
The game -- if it can be called that -- is simple. You turn a wheel that sends a lift plunging down into the depths of the mine, you pick a miner up, and then you spin the wheel to return the mucky hero to the surface. Repeat that rather arduous process 33 times and you have Chilean Miner Rescue.
It takes about 10 minutes to play through, and boy does time crawl by slowly. But then you remember that these guys spent 69 days underground. That puts things quickly into perspective.
I admit I didn't play through the whole thing, so there might be some kind of surprise that awaits the 'winners'. Leave a comment if you make it to the end, and tell us your completion time too!

Ke$ha Goes 'Hard' On New Single, 'We R Who We R'
Singer keeps the party going with first single from Cannibal.By Jocelyn Vena
Ke$ha
Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage
Ke$ha has found a chart-topping formula — combine killer beats with lyrics about super-fun parties and hot pants. And her latest single, "We R Who We R," certainly fits that mold.
The track, the first single off her November 22 release Cannibal, hit the Internet on Thursday (October 14). It's another uber-fun tune about how awesome it is to dance the night away, with Ke$ha singing on the chorus: "Tonight we're going hard/ Just like the world is ours/ We're tearing it apart/ You know we're superstars/ we are who we are."
While the song doesn't veer much from prior club bangers like "Tik Tok" and "Take It Off," the singer admits that "We R" is in part inspired by the recent rash of suicides among gay youth. "I wanted to inspire people to be themselves," she told EW.com. "It's a celebration of any sort of quirks or eccentricities."
In January, Ke$ha released her debut album Animal and it went straight to the top of the charts. Cannibal — a nine-song set that features collaborations with Max Martin, Benny Blanco and Bangladesh — is set to be released both on its own and as a bundle with Animal.
"I don't want to go away!" she said. "I feel like I'm creating this hopefully very youthful and irreverent movement of the kids, of, like, adolescence. I feel like the parents don't get it, but the kids get it. And they deserve to have more good, positive music ... It's fun as sh--! So I wanted to give [my fans] that."
The Seventeen cover girl also tweeted a message to her fans about the tune: "WE R WHO WE R! on the radio today you guys like??? dancin liiiiike were dumbbbb we be forever younggggg."

Taylor Swift Says Her Potential Boyfriends Have 'Fair Warning'
'I've never kept quiet the fact that I write songs about people,' she tells MTV News.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello
Taylor Swift

Take it from Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner: If you end up in Swift's romantic life, she will probably write a song about you.
"It sort of is what it is," she told MTV News when she sat down to chat about her new album, Speak Now, out Monday. "I've had this formula for a long time that I've kind of applied to my music."
So what is Swift's chart-topping formula? "If I continue to write music about my life and my life is always changing, then my music is always changing," she revealed. "And if I change that whole process of writing music, that entire process of writing songs in my bedroom about what I'm going through at that moment — because the only way I know how to understand pain or move past it is to write songs about it — if I change that, I'm really more changing a part of who I am. And I don't really want to start doing that."
With that in mind, Swift has no worries about her dating life — even if she knows her potential suitors might have some reservations.
"It's understandable, but ... I've never kept quiet the fact that I write songs about people," she said. "It's like, this is album number three. You guys have had fair warning!"

Justin Bieber Displays His Rap Skills In New Twitter Video
Bieber freestyles over Cam'ron and Vado's 'Speakin Tongues,' declaring his rap alter ego is Shawty Mane.By Jocelyn Vena

Having given fans a taste of his rapping skills during live performances of "Baby" when he tackles the verse Ludacris recorded for the tune, Justin Bieber is now displaying his keen spitting prowess in a new video posted on his Twitter. In the grainy clip titled "Speaking in Tongues," Bieber raps his own lyrics over Cam'ron and Vado's "Speakin Tongues," and in a message posted on the webpage, he announced that his rap alias is Shawty Mane.
"Speaking in tongues freestyle... who knew I could rap lol," he wrote. "My alter ego rap name is Shawty Mane... hah."
The video features shots of Bieber in the studio and hanging out in the streets rocking some glasses. Early on, he gives a shout-out to Lady Gaga: "Call up Lady Gaga on my on my telephone/ Hello doll/ You're my girl/ Beats no metronome."
He then talks up his own capabilities, rhyming, "So I'm raptor/ Tearing it up like a tractor/ Matter fact you're not feeling this track, you're a slacker." Later, he raps, "Stop, drop and roll/ Justin Bieber's on fire/ It's time to realize it's time to call me young sire."
At the end of the clip, Bieber — who hangs out with such hip-hop heavyweights as Drake, Kanye West and the aforementioned Luda — has a little message for those listening to the track. "You guys might know me as the guy who sings 'Baby'/ You know, uh, I'm a singer, pop singer/ I'm white/ But, um, you know I just wanted to do this just to prove that/ You know I got skills, on, on, on the rap game."
Last December, Bieber's pal, rapper Asher Roth, defended his buddy's rapping skills to MTV News. "He lived like a block away from me. Watching him is like watching your little brother. It's crazy," Roth said, referring to their time in Atlanta together. "He can rap. I put him on a remix, but I don't think his mom would like that very much."

Having given fans a taste of his rapping skills during live performances of "Baby" when he tackles the verse Ludacris recorded for the tune, Justin Bieber is now displaying his keen spitting prowess in a new video posted on his Twitter. In the grainy clip titled "Speaking in Tongues," Bieber raps his own lyrics over Cam'ron and Vado's "Speakin Tongues," and in a message posted on the webpage, he announced that his rap alias is Shawty Mane.
"Speaking in tongues freestyle... who knew I could rap lol," he wrote. "My alter ego rap name is Shawty Mane... hah."
The video features shots of Bieber in the studio and hanging out in the streets rocking some glasses. Early on, he gives a shout-out to Lady Gaga: "Call up Lady Gaga on my on my telephone/ Hello doll/ You're my girl/ Beats no metronome."
He then talks up his own capabilities, rhyming, "So I'm raptor/ Tearing it up like a tractor/ Matter fact you're not feeling this track, you're a slacker." Later, he raps, "Stop, drop and roll/ Justin Bieber's on fire/ It's time to realize it's time to call me young sire."
At the end of the clip, Bieber — who hangs out with such hip-hop heavyweights as Drake, Kanye West and the aforementioned Luda — has a little message for those listening to the track. "You guys might know me as the guy who sings 'Baby'/ You know, uh, I'm a singer, pop singer/ I'm white/ But, um, you know I just wanted to do this just to prove that/ You know I got skills, on, on, on the rap game."
Last December, Bieber's pal, rapper Asher Roth, defended his buddy's rapping skills to MTV News. "He lived like a block away from me. Watching him is like watching your little brother. It's crazy," Roth said, referring to their time in Atlanta together. "He can rap. I put him on a remix, but I don't think his mom would like that very much."

GOP Clueless on How to Reduce Government
Jonathan Chait, TNRI am constantly amazed at the way conservatives -- the ones who genuinely want to reduce the size of government -- so consistently reject the one proven method of achieving their goal. Here's National Review's John Hood:Flinty resolve! Like George W. Bush, whose anti-tax resolve was without parallel, and who consistently denounced excessive spending!In fact, there is a great deal of evidence that making bipartisan deals that include tax increases can restrain spending. Here is a chart of federal receipts and outlays since 1980:See that bump in 1990? That was when George H.W. Bush...

Tasker for Android lets your phone react to its current state or environment
Filed under: Utilities, Android
There's a new, interesting and quite unique Android app on the market. It's called Tasker, and it gives your phone the power to react to its current state or environment. It gives your phone the ability to work autonomously without your direct input -- in effect, Tasker gives your phone rudimentary artificial intelligence.
It works by creating rules that question your phone's current "context" (or state): "Is the phone upside down?"; "Have you just missed a call?"; "Is your battery almost empty?" -- if any of these questions returns a "yes," then an action is carried out. That's where this app becomes magical: an action can be almost anything. Your phone can make a call, or send an SMS; it can alter the ringing volume during work hours, or silence it during the night; it can run apps, or react to when you plug in the USB cable or headphones. This is remarkably similar to context-aware patents currently dueling through the US patent system filed by Google and Apple.
The excellent FastCompany review walks you through a nice rule: if you place your phone face-down (say, in a meeting), it automatically switches to silent mode. They also suggest another awesome rule: tell Tasker to SMS "on the way home" to a loved one when your GPS coordinates reach the train station.
My nerdy brain is leaping to try some really crazy ideas, though. How about using GPS so that your laptop only unlocks if your phone is nearby? Or a dead man's switch that formats your phone if it gets too far away from your laptop -- or if you don't open a certain app by 5pm each day? Of course you could tell the phone to take a photo every 10 minutes so that any potential thieves are caught in the act! The possibilities are almost endless.
The app itself costs about $5 from the Android Market, but you can download a 7-day trial from the Tasker site (which you can later upgrade). The Tasker Wiki has lots of excellent guides and walkthroughs to get you started, and even some ready-made profiles for every-day tasks.Tasker for Android lets your phone react to its current state or environment originally appeared on Download Squad on Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:00:00 EST.

Droid 2 Global ad being used on Verizon's 800 number
Usually when we're put on hold, we put the phone on speaker and go do something else -- like the dishes. Does anyone actually pay attention to those terrible songs or that annoying voice that keeps on reminding you that "your call is very valuable," yadda. yadda, yadda? I, for one, don't. Well, to my surprise, somebody actually does.This somebody was on hold with Verizon when they just so happen to hear some deep voice start talking about the Motorola Droid 2 Global. Remember, the Droid 2 Global hasn't been officially announced yet by Verizon. We've only seen random leaks, here and there. Click on the source link to hear the audio clip. It doesn't reveal much, but it does remind us that it is a global device. [Engadget]Posted originally at Android CentralSponsored by Android Cases and Accessories

Ke$ha To Return With Cannibal On November 22
Animal companion will feature eight new songs.By James Montgomery

Taking a page from Lady Gaga's playbook, Ke$ha will return November 22 with Cannibal, a nine-song "companion" to her platinum-plus debut disc Animal that, like Gaga's The Fame Monster, will be sold both as a standalone album and as part of a deluxe reissue.
According to a press release sent Wednesday (October 13) by her label, RCA, Cannibal will feature eight brand-new songs — produced by the likes of Max Martin, Benny Blanco and Bangladesh — and a new remix. The first single from the mini-album, "We R Who We R," is scheduled to hit radio Thursday.
Cannibal is set to be released both on its own and bundled with Ke$h's Animal disc in a reissue called — fittingly enough — Animal + Cannibal. And if the whole thing sounds rather, well, ravenous, well, that's pretty much what the singer had in mind.
"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," she said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."
Well, OK then. The announcement of Cannibal comes one day after the news that Ke$ha had been nominated for three American Music Awards — more than any artist not named Eminem, Justin Bieber and Lady Antebellum. The AMAs will air November 21, one day before Ke$ha's albums hit stores.

Justin Bieber has revealed that this holiday season he's going to release an acoustic album. He made the announcement via Twitter.
"Curious...What is your favorite song on MY WORLD and MY WORLD 2.0?? If you could remix any song with another artist which would it be? And who would you want me to duet with?? and on which song?? Thanks," he initially tweeted before spilling a few more beans about the forthcoming release.
In addition to old tunes, it seems this album will feature a brand-new song as well. "hey dankanter I think it's time to make an UNPLUGGED album for the fans for the holidays....or maybe we already did...hmmmm," he then tweeted to Dan Kanter, the singer's musical director and guitarist. "Maybe we need to give everybody an UNPLUGGED acoustic album with that new song I cut in Hawaii for the holidays...thoughts???"
Bieber, who plays acoustic guitar during many of his live performances, then revealed that he has already recorded songs for the album. Further information, including the release date and the album's title, was not available at press time. "So I'm thinking about breaking out the acoustic guitar and having some fun... ...so an UNPLUGGED album for the HOLIDAYS????" he wrote. "Listening to tracks from the new UNPLUGGED acoustic album. feeling really good about it. dankanter u excited. back to the roots."
Kanter tweeted about the vibe of the album. "@justinbieber Loving the percussion... Cajones and congas!" he teased. "Definitely an influence from our travels around the world!"
At the VMAs, Bieber revealed that he is working on an album of all-new music as well. "[It'll] probably [come out] fourth quarter next year," he said. "Drake is gonna be on that album; I'm not sure [who else]. I'm gonna ask him if he can get [Lil] Wayne on there."
