'Bourne Legacy' Trailer Brings Back Matt Damon
Based on all the marketing for "The Bourne Legacy" promising "there was never just one," we assumed that Jason Bourne was going to be forgotten about by the time Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross stepped into center stage. But from what we've seen in the new full-length trailer for the movie, Bourne actually still has a [...]

Malika Haydon: Cosmopolitan India Bikini Beauty
She's becoming a hot commodity overseas, and it's easy to see why as Malika Haydon showed off her stuff on the cover of the June 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan India magazine.
The brunette beauty heated things up while clad on the front page in a Puma bikini with a SEVO cuff while as she posed for photographer Atul Kasbekar at the InterContinental Mumbai.
Meanwhile, highlights from Miss Haydon's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Cosmopolitan India!
On being a late bloomer:
Growing up, I was always a skinny, gangly teenager and with puberty, I filled out almost overnight. I had all these curves suddenly, and I didn't know what to do with them. It took a while to relax into this new body.
On being a curvy model:
I began modeling at 18. My body was not like my sister's [supermodel and actor Lisa Haydon is her younger sister], which is straight and slim and looks great in just about anything. I had hips!
On dealing with personal image issues:
I became obsessed with my weight, I was working out two hours a day and trying my best to diet. Finally, I decided it had to stop. I had to accept my curves, and I've been in a good space since.
On being sexy:
Sexy takes place in the mind first. You'll have phases when you put on a few kilos and that's fine, you can always work it off. Fitness is what's important.
We create these absurd demands of ourselves – to look a certain way, to be skinny at any cost. I don't think men feel that way about us. In fact, I've noticed men seem to like curves on a woman.

The First Website You Ever Visited
We took an office poll of the first websites Buzzfeeders ever visited — from Geocities to multi-user online dungeons. What's the first website you ever visited?
The first time I remember using the Internet was the summer of 1996. I'd just turned 13 and my parents had sent me to spend two months split between my brothers (who were both in late 20s). Neither knew what to do with a teen girl, so voila! The set me up with an AOL account and I can remember listening to the modem connect and watching the logo show me the connection speed of 28k (SO FAST OMG). They introduced me to MUDs [multi-user dungeons] on AOL, which led to Yahoo! Chat, which led to me staying up until 3am every night for the next month tentatively learning the ropes of online RPGs. There was also a lot of Elfwood and Geocities quote lists.
Good times, good times.
I spent a lot of time on Sailor Moon related Geocities websites. Yeah, that's right.

TMTETS Episode 12: Will Bo Kyung Get Some?!
A lot of lovin’ happening in this episode. Oh wait. No there wasn’t. But everyone sure was talking about love. Yang Myung finally confessed his love to Wol, Bo Kyung tricked her husband into (maybe) sleeping with her, and everyone has an opinion on the royal consummation. The end of the episode set things up for some real love action, and some major drama, but before we get there we need to start at the beginning. Let’s go!
A disheartened Yang Myung walks down the street, then stops and asks his imaginary friend, “How long have you known?” But it’s not an imaginary friend at all! Woon emerges from the shadows like a phantom, and asks Yang Myung if Yeon Woo and Wol really look that much alike. Yang Myung takes this to mean that Woon did know all along, and this serves as proof that he’s abandoned his childhood friend and is now 100% Team Hwon.
Hwon and Wol walk back from the puppet show, and while the two enjoyed it, Hwon has some criticisms. He argues that the story of a poor girl falling in love with the king is preposterous. He picks apart every aspect of … Read More »

As for their theatrical offering, the Walter Salles directed film sees "Dean and Sal as the portrait of the Beat Generation. Their search for 'It' results in a fast paced, energetic roller coaster ride with highs and lows throughout the U.S."
Of the Jack Kerouac book based project, Miss Stewart previously voiced nothing but praise, as she said, "It was everything I wanted it to be. It exceeded every expectation. It was so much fun. It was wild. We didn't really know what to expect every day."
Due out later this year, "On The Road" boasts a powerful cast also including Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss, Terrence Howard and Steve Buscemi.

Harvard's "Facebook" Still Looks Like This
When Facebook launched in 2004, it finally motivated Harvard to get its act together and create a centralized database of student info. One of the facebooks has iterated its design substantially. One of them hasn't.
Prior to 2004, each dorm or house at Harvard had its own, structurally unique, online database.
Source: youtube.com
Considering that there are 17 freshmen dormitories and 12 upperclassmen houses, this made it difficult to track down someone's email address or phone number if you didn't know where that person lived.
Above is fake Mark Zuckerberg compiling data from each one individually in The Social Network in order to build Facemash.
In an article published in The Harvard Crimson on February 9, 2004—five days after Facebook launched—Zuck described some of the motivation for creating the site:
“Everyone’s been talking a lot about a universal face book within Harvard,” Zuckerberg said. “I think it’s kind of silly that it would take the University a couple of years to get around to it. I can do it better than they can, and I can do it in a week.”
College officials, however, also claimed that an internal facebook was also in the works:
“There is a project internally with computer services to create a facebook,” [Director of Residential Computing Kevin] Davis said. “We’ve been in touch with the Undergraduate Council, and this is a very high priority for the College. We have every intention of completing the facebook by the end of the spring semester.”

Finally, on September 17, 2004, Harvard's internal facebook launched
It's basically just a search function. You can't upload or change your picture (although you can hide it). You can't 'like' anything and you can't write on anyone's wall or timeline because they don't exist.
As reported by The Crimson:
“We certainly didn’t launch this college facebook to compete in any way with thefacebook.com or to respond to thefacebook.com,” Davis said.
[Student council rep Andrew] Stillman said the two online facebooks serve different purposes.
“thefacebook.com is good for social networking whereas if you just want to look somebody up, the new facebook site is more useful,” Stillman said.

Report: Nick Stahl Checks Into Rehab Center
Having recently reached out to friends and family after being reported missing for over a week, Nick Stahl has entered rehab to get professional help, according to his wife.
In a report put out by E! News on Sunday (May 20), the "Terminator 3" actor's bride, Rose Stahl, confirmed that Nick had checked in to a treatment center the previous evening.
According to Rose, the 32 year-old sent an "unemotional and unapologetic e-mail" on Friday night explaining that he was okay and was planning on entering a 30-day program that night, adding that he would make future arrangements to get his clothes.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the actor's wife originally contacted the LAPD on Monday, May 14th, as she filed a missing person's report and believed that substance abuse had something to do with his disappearance.

We’ve got Micky Yoochun of JYJ starring in Rooftop Prince, Infinite’s L just wrapped up Shut Up Flower Boy Band, Girls Generation members, Yoona in Love Rain and Yuri in Fashion King. PLUS Summer is about to get even hotter with JYJ’s Jaejoong filming his latest Historical drama “Time Slip Dr. Jin” and SS501’s Leader, Kim Hyun Joong, making his acting comeback in the upcoming drama, “City Conquest.” So all of this kDrama Idolness got me wondering which Idol turned actor is my favorite?

The Rooftop Prince OST Rocks!
by Sara A. Layne:
My current k-drama obsession is Rooftop Prince. I waited until the eight episodes were out before I started watching because I wanted to be able to do a marathon. I haven’t been this drawn into a drama since History of A Salaryman (and yes I realize that wasn’t that long ago). One of the main reasons why I like this drama so much is because of the music. Rooftop Prince has one of the best OST’s I have heard in a while. The title song, Happy Ending by Jay Park, is so upbeat and happy that I can’t help but smile every time I hear it.
Whenever there is an upbeat scene or when they decide to take one of their many pictures, you can beat on Happy Ending making an appearance. But just as every happy scene has me looking forward to hearing Jay Park’s voice, every sad or dramatic scene has me bracing myself for Ali’s Hurt. Be prepared to cry (or at least choke up) because Ali’s haunting voice combined with the drama unfolding on screen can cause almost cause you physical pain.
Rooftop Prince also scored a homerun with … Read More »

Operation Condor 2: The Armour of the Gods – Review
Echo Bridge Entertainment finally brings over, in my opinion, one of Jackie Chan's best films because it proves that Chan is a one-man moviemaking machine with this one. The basic set-up is that an evil cult who wants all five pieces of the armor of God know that only one person who is able to get the pieces, the "Asian Hawk"! Click for the full review...
