Justin Bieber Pictured In Studio With Kanye West

Pair look like they're working on songs for Bieber's upcoming Believe album.
By Gil Kaufman

<P>Perhaps Kanye West doesn't have to sleep like the rest of us mere mortals. That might explain how the rapper is seemingly everywhere at once these days: squiring <a href="/news/articles/1683892/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-romance.jhtml">Kim Kardashian all over New York</a>, shooting a mysterious <a href="/news/articles/1683847/kanye-west-kid-cudi-video-project-middle-east.jhtml">mini-movie in Qatar</a>&#8232; and popping into a recording studio to work on tracks with pal <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>. </P><P> </P><P>While the 18-year-old pop star has been wrapping up work on his upcoming album, <a href="/news/articles/1683335/justin-bieber-believe-the-voice.jhtml"><I>Believe</I>,</a>&#8232; due out June 19, he got a visit from West. Bieber's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton confirmed the superstar summit, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/KennyHamilton/status/196040151489724416" target="_blank">tweeting out a photo</a> of the pair working together on an unspecified song. </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:754722/cp~vid%3D754722%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A754722" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>"Putting the finishing touches on the album and it's gonna be special," he wrote while posting an Instagram pic of West tapping away on a laptop in the studio with Bieber in the background. He followed with a post that appeared to be another enthusiastic response to the studio get-down, writing, "Also witnessed a current legend and one future legend make magic once again ... I love this thing we call music!" </P><P> </P><P>Bieber's been giving his fans plenty of tantalizing sneak peeks over the past week. In addition to announcing the release date during an appearance on "The Voice," he also brought along a teaser for his as-yet-unreleased "Boyfriend" video. After that glimpse, he was spotted <a href="/news/articles/1683642/justin-bieber-boyfriend-music-video-kiss.jhtml">shooting new scenes</a>&#8232; for the highly anticipated clip in which he was kissing a mystery brunette on set. </P><P> </P><P>"The concept of this video, I mean, it's not like a steady concept," Bieber <a href="/news/articles/1682156/justin-bieber-explains-boyfriend-video.jhtml">told MTV News</a>&#8232; while shooting the video back in March. "It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes: like a fire scene, we have an ice scene. </P><P> </P><P>"It's kind of like bouncing back and forth," he said. "And then there's scenes of me and just a bunch of girl dancers, and just some great shots, great artistic shots, great shots of me smiling. It's fun." </P><P>He also tweeted out the <a href="/news/articles/1684079/justin-bieber-believe-album-cover.jhtml">cover art</a>&#8232; on Friday, a simple black-and-white close-up of his face with the word "BELIEVE" stamped in a yellow caution-tape font underneath. The album will reportedly feature a song reacting to the <a href="/news/articles/1683857/justin-bieber-believe.jhtml">paternity suit</a>&#8232; filed by a 20-year-old California woman who claimed she became pregnant with Bieber's baby after a brief bathroom hook-up at an October 2010 concert; the suit was dropped in November. </P><P> </P><P>In addition to whatever Kanye and Bieber cooked up, the album will also feature a <a href="/news/articles/1683050/justin-bieber-taylor-swift-collaboration.jhtml">duet with Taylor Swift</a>&#8232;, as well as magic made with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine and Drake.</p>

Leaked T-Mobile roadmap outlines Ice Cream Sandwich updates, new myTouch devices

Leaked T-Mobile roadmap outlines Ice Cream Sandwich updates, new myTouch devices

Looks like our friends over at TMoNews have unearthed a roadmap with some tasty morsels of info about what's coming down the pipe from T-Mobile USA in the next few months. Of course, none of this is set in stone or even confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt.

Most interesting is a pair of dates for Ice Cream sandwich updates, with Magenta's Galaxy S II slated to receive Android 4.0 on May 14th, followed by the Sensation 4G and Amaze 4G getting ICS (with Sense 3.6, presumably) on June 16th.

A bunch of device launches from Samsung and Huawei round up the list of dates, with no sign of HTC's One X, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S III, or T-Mobile's rumored Galaxy Note variant. Sadness. Check out the entire bounty below.

  • May 9th: Huawei Astor (low-end phone for 7-Eleven)
  • July 11th: Huawei Buddy and Phoenix (myTouch QWERTY and slate, respectively)
  • July 11th: Samsung Gravity TXT (new color)
  • Aug 1st: Samsung T159 Cacao (low-end handset)
  • Aug 15th: Samsung Apex Q (mystery device)

Space travel coming to an airport near you? Maybe, if Skylon keeps its cool

reaction-engines-spaceplane-skylon-critical-cooling-tests

Want to get from New York to Perth in under 4 hours, or maybe just head to outer space on a lark? Reaction Engines' "Skylon" mach 5 spaceplane might be your chariot -- or not. Its scheme of ingesting oxygen from the atmosphere instead of stowing it like a 50-year old modern multi-stage rocket sounds good, but the project's fate may hang on critical new tests. Failure is still a possibility, but if the high-speed, superhot gases can be cooled enough for the hybrid Sabre engines to work, and if Reaction Engines Limited can secure another round of funding, punching your space-ticket could soon be a very real possibility.

The Open Source CEO: Jim Whitehurst

JimWhitehurst-01If you read the Red Hat website, you'll find pages describing their attitude toward open source, collaboration, and more. It reads pretty much like every other marketing spiel from every company online today. There's something different about Red Hat, though: they actually believe this stuff. Not only do they believe it, they live it every day. I spoke to Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst recently about the open source culture at Red Hat and he told me it is a journey, not a destination. According to Whitehurst, the tenets of open source permeate all aspects of the culture at Red Hat.

TheWhoot Co-Founders On Taking The Flakiness Out Of Social Planning

Screen shot 2012-04-27 at 11.07.40 AMBack in the day, before the cell phone, people had to be where they said they'd be. There was no such thing as flaking out, and if you did, you were just a bad person. But these days, even when we make a firm commitment, the convenience of cell phones makes it really easy to flake out at the last second. But co-founders Ryan Coyne and Will Quartner think that going out and having fun with your friends shouldn't have to be so difficult, and thus was born TheWhoot.

EdgeRank Checker Hustles, Builds Tool Just Five Days After Facebook Real-Time Insights API Goes Live

EdgeRank Checker Real-TimeFacebook quietly released an API for its new real-time Insights last week that lets developers build tools that allows companies to track news feed post performance, virality, and negative feedback. Just five days later, EdgeRank Checker has just released a dashboard for monitoring this data so clients can publish the best possible content on their Facebook Page, and earn the biggest return on their social media investment. Before Facebook even announced the real-time Insights API, my scoop on its coming launch kicked EdgeRank Checker into high-gear. Founder Chad Wittman tells me "when you broke the news about real-time coming, I had a million great ideas. Now is the time to implement as many as possible."?We hustle all day on the news here at TechCrunch, so we like to see when developers put the same passion into their code.

Rosie O'Donnell Worries Lindsay Lohan Will Die Like Whitney Houston


Rosie O'Donnell is not holding back in her strange crusade against Lindsay Lohan, saying if she doesn't change her life, she could die like Whitney Houston.

Rosie went back on Today show this morning to expand on why she believes LiLo should not have been cast as Liz Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime movie.

Or any acting role, for that matter.

O'Donnell suggested Lindsay is heading down a similar path as the late, great Whitney Houston, and can only be saved if she takes time off from showbiz.

Rosie O'Donnell on Today

The ruthless Hollywood machine is slowly killing Lohan, Rosie feels, and she says feels obligated to speak out about the 25-year-old actress because:

"Watching Whitney Houston's funeral I recall thinking, 'Why didn't more people say what they knew?' We all knew. We watched Being Bobby Brown - it was like watching Sid and Nancy ... they were people in the throes of addiction."

"All anyone cared about was that the show was getting ratings. To look at Lindsay Lohan, you can't help but feel for her ... and I do not think she's untalented, I think she's quite talented. But this is a dangerous situation."

What do you think? Is Rosie totally off base or should she zip it? Lindsay has brushed off her attacks, but might she be better off heeding the warnings?

Pegatron licenses Microsoft's patent portfolio for Android and Chrome devices

Pegatron licenses Microsoft's patent portfolio for Android and Chrome devices

Microsoft may make a ton of money by selling Xboxes, operating systems, and other software to consumers , but it also pads its bottom line by monetizing its IP. Its newest patent profits will be coming from Pegatron Corp. -- a Taiwanese ODM that makes parts for a plethora of others, including Apple, ASUS and HP -- as the two companies have entered into a licensing agreement for devices running Android and Chrome OS. The agreement covers e-readers, smartphones and tablets, with Pegatron paying Redmond royalties of unknown amount. So, the Ballmer licensing bandwagon continues unabated, but we just hope all this new-found cash will be put to use creating fantastic new products instead of funding more courtroom conflicts.
