2PM’sleaderPark Jaebeom has quit for good, after it was announced on JYPE’s website on February 25th, Hottests in Korea and from all over the world are in shock.
Excerpts from JYP Entertainment’s online letter:
“On December 22nd, 2009, Jaebeom confessed to Jung Wook representative that he had done something wrong during Again and Again promotions. Apparently, it was far more serious than his MySpace controversy.
The six other members were not notified then as they were busy with year-end activities. On January 3rd, 2010, everyone of us (along with the members) sat down for a discussion and came to an agreement 3 days later that it was no longer possible for Park Jaebeom to continue activities along with 2PM.
We thus decided to terminate our exclusive contract with Jaebeom.”
JYPE stated that Jaebeom’s social impulses were a private matter and will not be revealed. They expressed that it was difficult to reveal the details of Park Jaebeom’s offenders who had intruded into his privacy and posted the comments.
JYPE had planned for Jaebeom’s comeback back in November 2009, with the idea of a return in April 2010, to which Jaebeom himself agreed. The plan was for Jaebeom to return to Korea in the 3rd week of February 2010 and have a press conference before resuming activities with 2PM in April. This comeback news were all kept secret, with the aim of protecting Jaebeom and 2PM. But it has now all become void.

:( :( :( :(
how could this happen? what sort of offense did he commit?
did he murder anyone? raped anyone?
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...stop all these rubbish!
I purposely bolded the important n anticipated highlights. Easy 4 your reading...
Robert Pattinson & Kirsten Stewart were spotted fitting in one last round of pub hopping before R.Pattz is due back to the States to promote Remember Me this weekend. Robsten, who seem more far lovey-cozy than usual, of late, hit up the Macbeth in London Thursday night and were inseparable per usual.
Now, are you ready for this? We have it confirmed by multiple sources at the venue that Rob and Kris were:
"100 percent there together," says a sober eyewitness.
Now, take that to mean what you will (as we so know you will)!
A lucky fan at Macbeth last night that twittered she did in fact see Rob and Kristen at the pub together, tho she only took a pic with R.Pattz. Don't you love technology nowadays?
British politician Nicolas Clark (who has had to protect his tweets since most likely getting hounded by Twi-hards) also twittered Tuesday night he saw Rob and Kristen at the Marquis of Granby share "just a couple of kisses on the lips," later adding "R+K were acting like a couple."
Then, after getting twitter-tipped that R & K were out together Wednesday night, we were able to confirm they did in fact grab "a bite to eat and a few drinks" at the Halfmoon pub in London, before watching R.Pattz's little sister Lizzy perform.
Just loving how comfortable these two are across the pond, aren't you? We're feeling so selfless that we just say stay there! Less paps and attention, for sure.
Before Robsten played footsie at sundry pubs in London, another one of our fave studs made his way back to L.A....
it's just his role in the upcoming MBC miniseries, Personal Taste. He is acting along Son Ye Jin who,like Goo Hye Sun from the BOF drama, is also 5 years older than him off the screen.
The stills from this drama were released and managed to generate interests from fans(including me of course!)
The photos were recently taken at MBC Dream Center at Ilsan on the 18th which portrays them living together under one roof as roommates. The story is adapted from a novel of the same name and is about a guy called Jeon Jin Ho who is a straight guy but pretends to be gay in order to become a roommate to his female friend, Park Kae In.
Personal Taste will premiere on March 31st.
The storyline is kinda similar with a Hindi box-office, Dostana but thats not the case. it still is interesting to see our invincible and arrogant Gu Jun Pyo (Minho's alter ego in BOF) as a GAY here.
Hilary Duff's NHL-playing fiance Mike Comrie, knows how to give good ice.
A source close to the Edmonton Oilers center, 29, tells us that the engagement ring he gave the former Disney star, 22, cost—gulp—$1 million...
The source tells us that Comrie bought the14-karat princess-cut sparkler in Las Vegas.
After two years of dating, Comrie popped the question while he and Duff were on a recent vacation in Hawaii.
A wedding isn't the only thing these two have in the works. Our source also tells us the pair are close to buying a $10 million home in Beverly Hills. (While he probably takes home a nice paycheck from the Oilers, Comrie also happens to be an heir to Canadian home furnishings retail empire, The Brick.)
A rep for Duff declined to comment.
Comrie has proven himself to be a generous beau. Just a few months after they became a couple in 2007, he reportedly his ladylove a $100,000 Mercedes.
It was announced that the Wonder Girls’ cosmetics will be launched on the 24th. The launch would have been earlier but had to be delayed after Sunmi’s withdrawal. As a result, the print ads and everything had to be redone all over again, with the inclusion of new member, Hye Lim and was finally completed on the 18th.
To celebrate the launch of the cosmetics, it was revealed by a representative that part of the sales profit would be donated to charity organizations like UNICEF, to promote and create a culture for social contributions.
Beside domestic markets, there are also plans to launch it in China this coming May as well as Southeast Asia, Japan and America in the coming months.
Don’t be surprised if you find Sunmi in one of the pictures. You can see that Hye Lim has just taken over, wearing the same yellow outfit.
Looks like another major record has been broken by one of the most successful boy band in Asia!
On the 22nd, TVXQ has sold approximately 413,000 copies of their Best Selection 2o10 album. The album now has the most sales ever for a foreign group in the Japanese music industry. They broke the previous record that was held by American band, Bon Jovi, who had sold 379,000 copies of their album G’s Days. The record hasn’t been broken in 14 years, making this accomplishment even more significant for the Korean group.
The album count will keep rising, as it wasn’t long since it’s release. Let’s see if they can reach the… 1 million sales mark!

Katrina Kaif who is climbing the ladder of success very fast has many good projects in her kitty but despite her wish, she has to dump one to accept the other due to date clashes. Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor might have shared a superb chemistry in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahini’ but the actress now dumped her best friend Ranbir Kapoor to be Hrithik Roshan's ladylove.
Kat has turned down Imtiaz Ali’s next and accepted filmmaker Zoya Akhtar’s offer. Kat was keen to work with Ranbir Kapoor but due to hectic schedule, she had to walk out. Moreover, she finds that it is a bright opportunity to work alongside Hrithik Roshan.

Cho PD, real name Cho Joong Hoon is an old school rapper who debuted 11 years ago with his album In Stardom. He was educated at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and has brought over his own unique rap sound to Korea. Earlier today, Cho PD released a digital album titled 보란듯이 (Given Advice) and it has two tracks 보란듯이 featuring Jung Seul Ki and Sex Sex Sex featuring Saht Byul.
The first song is decent enough but the second song is a bit controversial as it’s a sex song dedicated to the sex addictTiger Woods. The song features some explicit lyrics and it’s a pretty simple song with a simple beat.The songs hook of sex-sex-sex is pretty catchy though.
Sex Sex Sex

Lee Seung Gi had previously mentioned that SNSD/Girls Generation’s YoonA was his ideal's girl.There might be a possibility that this has changed, as the nation’s heodang is taking interest in figure skater Kim Yuna.
On a special recording of KBS 1 Night 2 Days with journalists as guests, Lee Seung Gi said, “At home, I watch the Olympics a lot, and I have to say that the athletes are doing admirably. It would also be great if Kim Yuna won a gold medal.”
He then thought about what he had said, and continued, “Since [my message for] her to win a gold medal can give her pressure, I just want her to try her best and give a great performance that will shake the hearts of our nation.”
Hearing this, Kang Ho Dong said, “Is Kim Yuna your ideal girl?” The reporters budged in and also said, “We have thought about that. The two of you match so well. You are the oppa and there isn’t a major a age gap.”
Lee Seung Gi responded, “If I do go out with her, the nation will talk badly about me.”
He was then asked about who he liked more, SNSD’s Yoona or Kim Yuna. He responded, “The two probably don’t even think about me…” Kang Ho Dong then said, “We will talk about this in Strong Heart,“ which shocked Seung Gi.
Shah Rukh Khan doesn't sleep. Or so it seems. He landed in Mumbai on Thursday from Dubai after a show, but shows no sign of strain or jetlag. Just before Dubai the mega-star was in Berlin for the film festival negotiating the attention of hundreds of screaming fans.
What we don't know is that Shah Rukh met and bonded in Berlin with American auteur director Martin Scorsese and his favourite actor Leonardo Di Caprio.
Says Shah Rukh, "Leonardo, Martin and I spent some time together. Martin was gracious enough to remember that he had met me in Cannes way back in 2002 when I was there for Devdas. He wants to watch Devdas and I've promised to send it to him. I'll do so right way."
After the glorious performance in My Name Is Khan as a physically-disabled underdog journeying across America on a whimsical mission, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to play the super-hero flying across the sky to save humanity.
True to its mythological title, Ra.1 which starts shooting next month in Mumbai followed by Goa and London, will have Shah Rukh combating 10 villains. Raavan according to Hindu mythology, was a ten-headed demon whom Ram vanquished single-handedly.
In Ra.1, the modern day Raavan has been turned into ten different villains whom super-hero Shah Rukh, the modern day Ram will annihilate one after another.
Shah Rukh Khan seemed remarkably relaxed in Berlin on the day after his film My Name Is Khan opened in Mumbai accompanied by violent protests by the Shiv Sena.
Said Shah Rukh from Berlin, "I missed the opening in Mumbai. But I believe people have liked the film. I'm being told I'm in character. That's good to hear. Give me a character to be in, and I'm right there."
The SRK brand of humour was intact when told that My Name Is Khan doesn't look like a Karan Johar film. At his deadliest deadpan best SRK retorted, "Yeah, even I felt like that when I first saw it. I told Karan, 'Arrey yaar yeh tum ne kaisi picture banayee hai?' Actually the three ladies in our lives Hiroo Aunty (Karan's mother Hiroo Johar), Kajol and Gauri have made this film."
Getting serious SRK said, "I thought it would take audiences a little time to come to terms with the film. But I am glad it was well-received."
After playing the under-dog in two successive films Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and My Name Is Khan (we aren't counting his guest appearance in Dulha Mil Gaya) Shah Rukh will be flying across the sky in Ra.1. The estimated budget of the film to be produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies, is Rs 100 crores. And no Kareena Kapoor won't be joining him in midair. She plays Shah Rukh's grounded wife and not a super-woman.
Says a source close to Ra.1, "Kareena was keen to attempt the hi-jinks with Shah Rukh, especially since Agent Vinod where she has a lot of stunts has again been postponed But in Ra.1 all the conflict involves Shah Rukh and the ten villains."
Shah Rukh along with the film's director Anubhav Sinha and journalist-writer Mushtaq Sheikh, has co-written Ra.1 and will be credited as one of the writers.
The film will be in Hindi. Says the source, "He was advised to make the film in English. But Shah Rukh decided to make it in Hindi. Why should he pitch his super-hero film to the Western audience when they already have their Superman and Spiderman? Shah Rukh has no aspirations of cracking Hollywood on their terms."
The film requires the star to perform never-before heart-in-the-mouth stunts, which he's gearing up to do.
Angelina Jolie, along with Brad Pitt and the Jolie-Pitt bunch, was spotted Sunday walking through Venice with her formerly estranged father,Jon Voight. Jolie, who is set to begin production on The Tourist in the Italian city, was all smiles as the reunited family took a trip on the Italian city's Grand Canal.
It's been a long time since we've seen the father-daughter duo together...
Jolie and Voight's relationship has been on the rocks since 2002, after the 71-year-old Oscar winner said in an interview that his daughter had "serious mental problems" and that he was "trying to reach her to get help."
That apparently didn't sit well with Jolie, but by June 2007 she was telling Britain's Evening Standard she had hopes for some sort of reconciliation.
"At the end of the day, we both wish the best for each other and we'll try to start communicating in some way," Jolie said.
News of a father-daughter détente emerged last month, when Voight stepped in to shut down rampant rumors of a Brangelina break-up last month.
"[The rumors] are a pain in the neck. It's like listening to static half of your day," Voight said.
The two apparently reconciled late last year, but this is the first time they've been seen in public together in ages.

so people..they're still together.. yeay team jolie!
Rihanna's new beau is no rude boy(ehemm..take note chris brown)
Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp surprised the sexy singer on Saturday with a 22nd birthday party in Phoenix, E! News has learned.
Rihanna was "shocked" by the ballplayer's gesture, apparently expecting a small get-together with a few friends, a source says. She had no clue what was really in store for her.
So how did it go?
Pretty great. Kemp had been planning the event for at least a month to make sure Rihanna's birthday was special, according to an insider.
There were flowers, Sprinkles cupcakes, tiki torches in the pool, engraved bottles of Ace of Spades and Johnny Walker Blue, as well as a Jamaican chef who whipped up lots of appetizers for the crowd.
Around 40 people showed up, including both Rihanna's friends and some of Kemp's baseball pals.
Kemp brought out a cake decorated with the songstress' various tattoos, while everyone sang "Happy Birthday."
"It was so sweet and she was really surprised," the source said. "She looked just beautiful."
Kemp didn't stop his surprises with the singer's party, however.
According to the source, he gave the birthday girl a custom diamond necklace.
Although the couple has played coy about their budding relationship, they reportedly spent the entire weekend together, first going out on Friday night with a group of 30 on a party bus to new Arizona nightclub Revolver, and then ending the weekend with a group brunch on Sunday.
Paris Hilton partied in her 29th birthday Las Vegas-style Saturday night, with beau Doug Reinhardt right by her side.
The socialite strutted down the red carpet (you know, just like the rest of us mark our b-days...) before heading into her party wearing a white Preen dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and a gift from Reinhardt—a pair of sparkly Chanel earrings.
While there was no news of an engagement ring, Hilton gushed of her love for the former Hills star while chatting it up with reporters.
Asked if the couple was ready to walk down the aisle, Hilton demurred: "We'll see what happens in the future, but right now we are so happy to be together and we are really in love."
The heiress was also joined at Tao by parents Rick and Kathy Hilton, along with a group of friends who snacked on a tower of commemorative cupcakes prior to partaking in the nightclub birthday festivities.
After dinner, the group headed to a VIP table inside the club and partied. They were soon accompanied by a giant cake and of course...a rendition of "Stars Are Blind."

paris's beau looks pretty much like ryan reynolds,dont u think so?
4minute seems to be doing pretty well these days. They have been featured on Amerie’s upcoming track, burned up at the Philippines and have now had the honor of meeting the world star Rihanna.
Rihanna visited Korea to promote her album Rated R. While in Korea, she met 4minute at interview with an entertainment news program. If you have been living in a hole for the past few years and don’t know who Rihanna is, let me tell you. She’s an A-list singer with seven Grammy’s under her belt that was discovered by Jay-Z and has had over seven chart topping hits, including Shut Up and Drive, Please Don’t Stop the Music, Disturbia and Umbrella.
4minute’s Jiyoon sang Umbrella before her debut at her music academy, an incident that reveals 4minute’s love and respect for Rihanna.
Unfortunately for HyunA, schedule conflicts preventing her from meeting the international pop star. She had to attend a filming session for Invincible Youth which made her miss this amazing chance. HyunA did express her sadness over the overlapping schedule.
4minute is leaving for Thailand after member Sohyun’s graduation today.
