Earlier today, SBS One Night program featured the boys of 2PM. The entertainment program was on the set of a photo shoot for SPRIS / Pony and had a brief interview with the boys.

The boys are seen eating some jjim bang. The best part of the interview was when the female VJ surprised Taecyeon when she jokingly said that he didn’t like performing with SNSD / Girls’ Generation’s Yoona as much as Baek Ji Young. Taecyeon made a funny face and jokingly said “WHAT?”

Check out the hilarious antics below and happy birthday to Junsu (it’s January 15th in Korea).

The X Factor' alum JLS are showing off some moves while performing 'One Shot' in the newly-outed music video.

U.K. boyband JLS have premiered a music video in companion to their latest single called "One Shot". Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Jonathan "JB" Gill and Oritse Williams are seen dancing, singing and dropping low to the ground in this video.

"One Shot" is the third single taken from the boys' self-titled first studio album "JLS". The track is expected to be made available for digital purchase on February 22 in coincidence with the end of their first U.K. headlining tour, which will be kicked off on date 1 at Ipswich Regent.

In addition to making their own record, JLS have also helped Lemar crafting his upcoming greatest hits album which is due to arrive in March. Earlier this month, they uploaded a footage of their recording session with Lemar to finish a revamped version of his track "What About Love"

'Ugly Betty' 4.12 Preview: Daniel, Willie and a Kiss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9M8zr_e8nUendofvid
[starttext]
A trip to a couple counselor has prompted Daniel to make a move on Wilhelmina during a blackout.

In the next "Ugly Betty", Betty tries to be neighborly by planning a karaoke party in her apartment building, but before the big day, her building is robbed, and it's partly her fault. Marc is distraught since he lost something irreplaceable in the theft. Meanwhile Ignacio refuses to accept Bobby in Hilda's life.

But the biggest bomb in the episode comes from the old rival. Daniel and Wilhelmina are back to being at each other's throats, so Amanda tricks them into attending couples counseling with Dr. Sparks. During the blackout, they are in the same elevator and end up kissing each other.

"Blackout!" will be aired on Wednesday, January 20. Although the show has been moved to Comedy Wednesday, it has not received a stellar rating. ABC however, puts a faith on the show, in the hope that it will gain as it airs.

"That's been a tough one," ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said at TCA Press Tour earlier this week. "We still love that show. I want to find the right place for it. ...I don't think many people were aware about the move [to Wednesday]. Hopefully we can do better with that. We're hoping Ugly Betty can be part of that Wednesday night line-up. We think a comedy or light drama at 10 - we would like to see grow. There is an opportunity for it."

'Pants on the Ground' Man to Make His First TV Interview

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaAHguzXaMEendofvid
[starttext]
The View' will have General Larry Platt who got Mary J. Blige laughing so hard during 'American Idol' audition and has more to tell beyond the ridiculously-titled song.

The only way to gain fame through "American Idol" is either to be super talented or to be eccentric. When the show visited Atlanta for season 9's audition, producers found General Larry Platt who impressed the judge with his self-penned song "Pants on the Ground" and a dance that a 62-year-old would not typically do.

The man is now going to make his first major TV interview. ABC's "The View" will have him performing the song and sitting down between the ladies to talk about himself on Monday, January 18 at 11 A.M. "Idol" judge Simon Cowell said that he had a feeling that "Pants" would be a hit.

When interviewed via phone by blogger Rodney Ho, Platt commented that his "Idol" appearance "played real real good". He also revealed the inspiration behind the song, saying he saw a guy walking down with a baby in his arm and his pants slipping below the hips to reveal the underwear. The song came to him and he started chanting it. "He was being disrespectful so I wanted to embarrass him," Platt said. "He rolled his eyes and pulled his pants up a little bit."

Beyond the ridiculously-titled song, there is more to dig from Platt. He calls himself a four-star general in the civil rights movement, revealing that he marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and Hosea Williams back in the 1960s. According to Ho's colleague, there was indeed a photographic evidence of him joining the cause.

Platt occasionally fixes cars for a living but his passion is in dancing and singing. "I can do things better than a lot of 28 year olds," he said. The man who wears sunglasses to the audition claimed he was shot in the eye at the age of three.

The two 'big things' in music industry are Oprah Winfrey's scheduled guests in separate episodes.


Through his Twitter, Adam Lambert has shared a picture of him walking arm in arm with Oprah Winfrey for an upcoming episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show". Susan Boyle, who is rumored making a duet with him, is not in the frame.

"I'm really excited. I want to meet her," Lambert previously told Extra about the gig. "We have the same birthday! She's incredible. What a great leader, communicator, philanthropist. I'm really curious what she is going to ask me. Maybe she will dig and make me cry."

Lady GaGa's segment meanwhile is previewed through a behind-the-scene footage where she talked about what viewers can expect from her appearance. Struggling not to choke in tears, GaGa said the show captures a very sentimental part of her because it's all about her journey.

Adam Lambert's episode will go on air on Tuesday, January 19 while GaGa's episode would air on Friday, January 15 during the live show from Chicago. GaGa reportedly would perform one of the songs in "The Fame".

Haiti earthquake: No food, no water... and gutters running with blood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXHopCrs46Uendofvid
[starttext]
By LIZ HAZELTON

Grief-stricken: Residents of Port-au-Prince, mourn as a girl's body is removed from the rubble


16 Britons missing after quake rips island apart

Hillary Clinton: 'Biblical' damage is on par with the 2004 Asian tsunami

Aid workers begin to pour on to island as emergency fund launched

Britain pledges £10m in aid as Brown describes 'tragedy beyond imagination'

Tens of thousands of people are facing a second catastrophe tonight as they struggled for survival on the devastated island of Haiti.

With no food, no water and no shelter, aid agencies were in a desperate race against time to save the victims of the earthquake

Witnesses described gutters running with blood and children sleeping among heaps of dead bodies after becoming separated from their parents.


Desolate: Survivors gather around bodies laid out after being recovered from the wreckage


There are growing fears that lack of basic sanitation and disease could claim thousands more lives.

Gordon Brown described the situation as a 'tragedy beyond imagination' and urged people to support emergency appeals.

The government has already pledged £10million in aid, including £6million to an appeal set up by the Disasters Emergency Committee for what Mr Brown called a 'tragedy beyond imagination'.

Rescue teams from around the world - including the UK - are descending on the stricken island.

But international aid is still only trickling through, hampered by poor communications and damaged roads.

Rubble: A woman looks dazed as she wanders through once bustling streets


Many rescuers were forced to dig with their hands to free survivors trapped under tons of rubble.

Residents of the capital Port-au-Prince were squatting in makeshift refugee camps, parks and sports grounds around the ravaged city.

There were reports of looting and members of the UN peacekeeping force, whose own headquarters has been destroyed, attempted to keep order.

Laura Bickle, an American working at an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, told the BBC: 'All the parks are filled with people - they either have no home to go to or they are too scared to go home.

'They are pulling people out of the rubble, literally with blood running in the gutter like water.'

Gareth Owen, Save the Children's director of emergencies, believes that up to two million children have been affected by the earthquake. Many were in school when it struck.

'This is an unbelievably traumatic experience for children in Haiti. We believe up to two million could be affected, and the emotional damage of what they’re going through could last their entire lives.

'Thousands more will have lost all contact with their families and friends and are now struggling to survive alone in the rubble.

'As well as getting basic supplies in, it's crucial that children struggling on their own are protected from being crushed by more debris and are kept safe from abuse on the streets.

'This is not a safe place for children. We know that the prison has collapsed and lone children are incredibly vulnerable.

'Children are petrified and in danger. Many will have been orphaned or be badly injured themselves and in urgent need of medical help.

'They are sleeping on their own, trying to cope with the trauma of seeing dead bodies, and will have no idea where to go for help.'

Mr Owen added that there was growing concern for 20 Save the Children staff who had been missing since the earthquake.

'This is much worse than a hurricane,' said Jimitre Coquillon, a doctor's assistant working at a triage center set up in a hotel parking lot.

'There's no water. There's nothing. Thirsty people are going to die.'

One aid worker added: 'Money is worth nothing right now, water is the currency.'


Terrible task: Men carry away the battered body of a young woman plucked from the rubble in Port-au-Prince


Displaced Haitians walk the streets amidst collapsed buildings and rubble


Estimates for the number of fatalities vary but the Haitian Red Cross today said at least 50,000 are likely to have died.

UK officials said 16 Britons were still missing but International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander said that did not necessarily mean they were casualties.

U.S. President Barack Obama announced that 'one of the largest relief efforts in our recent history' is moving towards Haiti with up to 3,500 U.S. soldiers and 2,200 marines on their way.

U.S. navy ships have also been sent, including an aircraft carrier and a hospital ship.

His Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the damage as 'Biblical', and likened the disaster to the 2004 Asian tsunami.

'This is going to (be) one of the highest in terms of loss of life in recent years,' she said.


Major logistic challenge: The poorest neighbourhoods of Port-au-Prince have been completely devastated


Haitians set up impromtu tent cities thorough the capital after the earthquake


On the streets of Haiti, rescuers were forced to turn pickup trucks into ambulances and doors intro stretchers.

Planes carrying teams from China and France, Spain and the United States landed at Port-au-Prince's airport with searchers and tons of water, food, medicine and other supplies - with more promised from around the globe.

It took six hours to unload a Chinese plane because the airport lacked the needed equipment.

The Red Cross estimates three million people - a third of the population - may need emergency relief. Some could need help for as long as a year.

Survivors have been forced to scavenge food from the rubble.

Bodies lay in the street, covered by white sheets. Some people dragged the dust-covered dead along the roads, trying to reach a hospital where they might leave them.

Others tried to carry dead relatives to nearby hills for impromptu burials,

prompting Brazil's military - the biggest continent among UN peacekeepers - to warn the practice could lead to an epidemic.

It said it is asking local authorities to create a new cemetery.

Hospitals, too, are barely functioning.

Charity Doctors Without Borders treated wounded at two that had withstood the quake and set up tent clinics elsewhere to replace its damaged facilities.

Evidence of dogs' sixth-sense: Labrador bolts from U.S. office before earthquake tremors strike building

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG5w7oo-vakendofvid
[starttext]
Sixth sense: The dog relaxes on the floor (above) before dashing for the exit (below) seconds before a quake hits the office


Animal instinct, pet owners swear by it. From cats sensing impending health problems like seizures, to dogs barking madly when unfamiliar footsteps appear on the garden path.

Even as far back as 373BC, it is recorded that animals, including rats, snakes and weasels, deserted the Greek city of Helice in droves just days before a quake devastated the place.

Those without that 'special bond', though, remain sceptical. But doubters, prepare to be converted.


CCTV footage has emerged of a news station office in North Carolina seconds before an eathquake struck on January 9.

It shows a dog idly passing the time on the floor before, apparently without any duress, springing up and making a swift exit.

Seconds later seats swing out of position, draws slip open and fixtures and fittings begin to wobble. Then, the shuddering really starts.

While our K9 friend has escaped prior to the quake, people dash for the exits when the room begins to shake forcibly.

The only question is, why didn't man's best friend warm his unaware human collegues?

Meet Dillie, the domesticated deer who eats linguine in her owners' bed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LUAUrm2KlUendofvid
[starttext]
House trained: Dillie the deer polishes off a plate of linguine in her owners' master bedroom


Dillie the deer acts just like a house-trained dog as she walks up the stairs and lounges around on her owner's bed.

Living with vet Melanie Butera, in Canal Fulton, Ohio, four-year-old Dillie is so spoiled she is served linguine in bed.

She has even managed to work out where a deer that lives in a house should go to do her business

Taking full advantage of Melanie and her husband Steve's generous hospitality, Dillie even gets to enjoy their swimming pool and five acres of property on which to run around on.

Living with the Buteras since she was three days old, Dillie now knows how to turn lights on and off and how to take ice from the dispenser in the fridge.

'We took a call from a local farmer at 3am one wintry night,' said Melanie, 48. 'Dillie's mother was not taking to her and he asked if we wanted to try to nurse her back to health.

'We put her on an IV drip because she weighed four pounds and got her back up and running after around two weeks.

'We then realised that she couldn't go back to the farm and live with the other deer and she couldn't live with our horses because they scared her too much.'


Deer's best friend: Dillie plays around with Lady, the dog of the house


Leaving her in the capable hands of her eight-year-old poodle Lady, Melanie decided that Dillie was going to become the Butera household's latest pet.

'She developed cataracts and this meant that she had to be cared for in a sensitive manner,' explained Melanie.

'She would hang around Lady and she very quickly learned to act like a dog.

'This became apparent to us when we came home one day and couldn't find her downstairs.

'We walked upstairs and found her standing on our bed with Lady. She had obviously learnt a few tricks from the old dog.'


Family: Dr Melanie Butera and her husband Steve Heathman share their bed in their home in Canal Fulton, Ohio, with Dillie and Lady


Dillie slept for the first few years at the Buteras' home in their bed with Lady.
'I suppose it was quite a cute get together, said Melanie. 'Me, my husband, Dillie and Lady all sharing the same bed.

'My husband Steve always liked the way that Dillie would warm his feet up when she lied on them.'

Fully house-trained, Dillie now wears a GPS collar due to a frightening runaway incident last year.

'She went missing because a gate was left open on our property when she was out roaming,' said Melanie.

'So we got this collar fitted to her to keep our minds at ease.'

Enjoying a wide variety of meals, Dillie's favourite is ice cream and coffee, topped off with frozen ice shavings.


Stairway to heaven: Dillie has the run of the house, and has even learnt how to use the toilet

HyunA’s “Change” MV slapped with 19+ rating

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCMlVS-66hwendofvid
[starttext]
I guess all of that provocative hip-thrusting was too much for minors to handle – Cube Entertainment recently received a notice that 4minute eighteen-year-old HyunA’s Change music video has been flagged as a video for 19+ viewers only.

“After deliberation, the music video has been deemed too sexual, so it will only be viewable for a 19+ age audience,” a Cube Entertainment rep revealed, going on to say that the company would respect this decision and begin plans for a re-edited version of the MV that will be submitted later for approval.

I understand wanting to penalize someone for dry-humping a girl on a bed in front of minors (and no, that doesn’t make me a GD hater), but since there have been a few eyebrow-raising bans in the past, I don’t think fans should give this too much weight. After all, the MV’s been out on various video sites for over a week and we can’t un-see it anyway. In fact, I’ll include it in this post so you can watch it if you’d like.

In episode 'Weeks Go by Like Days', Julian reconnects with Brooke to talk about the problems that separate them for six weeks.

Before "One Tree Hill" is back on screen after a Winter hiatus, The CW releases a sneak peek clip to reveal how some things are still not resolved. The clip focuses on Brooke and Julian trying to save their relationship after a 6-week break but things are not easy when they talk about Alex and Alexander.

The last time the couple was seen together was in the Fall episode where Brooke struggled to accept Julian's reaction when Alex underwent another crisis. Alex attempted suicide when Julian refused to come for her during a meltdown. And during the same time, Brooke got closer to Alexander, a former surfer who switches career to a young mogul.

When the show returns on January 18, a post-rehab Alex tries to make amends with herself and the people she's let down. Also, the Scott family joins Haley on the last leg of her tour and Clay and Quinn try to figure out how to move forward after his public declaration of love.

Jimmy Kimmel to Appear on 'Leno' After Mockery

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMgPPJZfsCMendofvid
[starttext]
Jay Leno told Kimmel how he found Kimmel dressing as him funny and handed out an invitation to appear on 'The Jay Leno Show' this week.

Just a day after Jimmy Kimmel put on gray wig and prosthetic chin to mock Jay Leno on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", he accepted an invitation to guest on "The Jay Leno Show". Kimmel will be reading out Leno's "Ten at Ten" list on Thursday, January 14.

The announcement from NBC comes on the heels of Jimmy's monologue about Jay Leno's move to 11.35 P.M. and Conan O'Brien's open letter that rejects it. Kimmel as Leno said, "Hello, hello, my name is Jay Leno and I'm taking over all the shows in late night." Leno then gave Kimmel a call on Wednesday to tell him he found the comedy bit funny and extend an offer to Kimmel to appear on his show.

Leno himself gave a comment about Kimmel's performance as him during his monologue on Wednesday night. "All the late night host are having great fun with this debacle," he said referring to his switch to the old hour. "Last night Jimmy Kimmel did his show dressed up as me. I was going to come out dressed as Jimmy Kimmel ...but I realized I do not have enough black shoe polish here at NBC to get my hair that dark."

'American Idol' Recap: The Case of Royal Mouth and 'Pants on the Ground'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItqfpNZ1tMendofvid
[starttext]
The January 13 episode in Atlanta saw fewer talented singers than the Boston round and witnessed more attitude from a foul-mouthed contestant and a wacky 62-year-old.


Day two in "American Idol" audition for season 9 took place in Atlanta with Mary J. Blige sitting in as guest judge. The city that brought out Fantasia Barrino, Clay Aiken and Jennifer Hudson spawned 25 golden tickets including for one of its police officers.

Bryan Walker is an officer who loves his job but dreams to be a singer. He auditioned in the second leg where Simon Cowell was not present, singing "Superstar" and amazed the judges. Kara DioGuardi immediately said, "This is what I love about this job" and Randy Jackson said Walker didn't appear like a singer but was able to surprise them with his voice.

Earlier that day, a former Miss America contestant Keia Johnson also earned a golden ticket when she belted out Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On." Mary said Keia can sing and Kara said her personality shines through when she sings.

The other tickets went to church singer Jermaine Sellers, small-town girl Vanessa Wolfe, girl-in-guitar-costume Holy Harden, country girl Mallorie Haley, and the man who goes by alias Skibo Ski. There was one time when BFF Carmen Turner and Lauren Sanders auditioned together. The former got through but Lauren did not.

After several montage of "No"s, the show put the spotlight on contestant Lamar Royal. A 20-year-old, Lamar has problem listening to others' opinion. He insisted his "Kiss From a Rose" version was a good one and was not acceptable when Randy said it was not good enough. He cut the judges' words by singing again and had to be escorted out by securities. He yelled the "F" word several times on the way out.

The last act of the day was Larry Platt who added General in front of his name. He was clearly off the age limit at 62 but he brought out a self-penned song "Pants on the Ground" which Simon thought would be a hit.

As Ewan McGregor is hired to complete the memoirs of a former British prime minister, he uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.

Summit Entertainment has unleashed a new international trailer for Roman Polanski-directed movie "The Ghost Writer". Though it shares many scenes from the movie, the video fails to explain what this film is really about.

A successful British ghostwriter The Ghost agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang and flies to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard to work on the project. As he begins to uncover a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA, The Ghost starts to question whether his predecessor on the project was murdered because of the appalling truth he uncovered.

Ewan McGregor leads with Pierce Brosnan starring as former British Prime Minister Adam Lang. Kim Cattrall and Olivia Williams also join the cast to portray Amelia and Ruth Lang respectively. This thriller is scheduled to be dropped in limited U.S. theaters on February 19.

The girls revealed on an interview with Arirang that they had originally had a different name for the group, but Kyu Jong from SS501 thought the old name was too difficult and suggested that the group be named Rainbow.

It makes sense of course with the seven members and seven colors in the Rainbow.

During the interview, the girls were also asked whether they had a special relationship with Kara and SS501 (all three are from entertainment company DSP). The girls answered that one of them had featured in the “Love Like This” MV.

Video Premiere: Keith Urban's ' 'Til Summer Comes Around'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h97JQNgzDY8endofvid
[starttext]
Keith Urban's ' 'Til Summer Comes Around' music video revolves around a brief fling between a guy and a girl who meet at a theme park.


Keith Urban has unveiled a music video supporting his single " 'Til Summer Comes Around". The video was filmed in southern California in November 2009, exposing the summer warmth of the meadow with a theme park featured in the distance. A couple is seen enjoying each other's company in the open place.

" 'Til Summer Comes Around" is one of the singles appearing in Keith Urban's fifth studio album "Defying Gravity". Written by Keith and Monty Powell, the track peaked at No. 14 on Billboard Country Songs chart.

"I had this idea about a theme park," Keith said when explaining about inspiration behind the song. "For me, there's something fascinating and deeply sad about theme parks in the wintertime when they're shut down. I loved that metaphor."

"So I said to Monty that I wanted to write about a guy who meets a girl at a theme park. They have this brief fling and she says she'll be back, so every year he's still there waiting. 'Longing' is such a powerful feeling, and if you're going to write about love, that's a powerful way to get at it."

There is a shocking scene being previewed as part of the next week's episode of "Heroes". Revealing a tattoo of Claire on his arm, Sylar demands a help from her but ends up kissing her. Sylar was actually there to get answers to why he isn't quite himself.

Meanwhile, Hiro's life hangs in the balance as his brain tumor worsens, prompting him to subconsciously deal with some of his past decisions. Elsewhere, Samuel's plans to impress his long-lost love, Vanessa (guest star Kate Vernon), take a terrifying turn. "Pass/Fail" is set to air on January 18.

Recently NBC's Head of Entertainment, Angela Bromstad said there is a high chance the show would be renewed for the fifth season despite its struggling viewership. Creator Tim Kring would pitch ideas for the new season in the coming weeks and NBC will give it consideration.

Additionally, Bromstad said there won't be a budget cut. "...actually Heroes has already been very responsible in having a good budget, so I don't think we'd be cutting it," she emphasized.

Britain's 'goat' Talent: Farm animal YouTube star waves goodbye to a chance to become the next Susan Boyle

I've goat you babe: Darren 'waves' his hoof at one of his young admirers

Kid, you've got talent, they said. But Darren, the goat who waves back when visitors wave at him, won't be following Susan Boyle on to the Simon Cowell treadmill of fame.

He doesn't need to. With tens of thousands seeing him on YouTube, he is a star already.

Producers of the TV show Britain's Got Talent, who spotted him on the internet, have been trying to sign up Darren for next month's live auditions in Birmingham.

But his owners believe uprooting him from his home at White Post Farm in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, wouldn't be good for his health.

Footage of the eight-year-old Anglo-Nubian goat waving at his admirers was posted on YouTube last year.


Billy goat gruff: Darren, who is a YouTube hit, does his hoof-waving trick


The clip was also shown on American and Australian TV.

'They want Darren to appear on stage in front of Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden,' said farm marketing manager Anthony Moore.

'But it's a long way for a goat to travel for a five-minute trick. It's not our thing, it goes against the animal welfare standards we've set here.

'Making him wave in front of thousands of people would not be right for Darren. We've therefore said "thanks but no thanks".'
