'Reign' react: Teenagers go a courtin'

History buffs are sure to be disappointed by The CW getting into the politics of 16th century French court (Francis II of France was not so much a stud as he was sickly), but for those of us who are looking for an over-the-top costume drama by the people who brought you 90210, welcome to your new favorite show.

The premiere showcased Mary’s (Adelaide Kane) arrival at court, and — just like in high school — it’s hard to be the new girl. She meets up with her Anthropologie-dressed ladies in waiting, and awkwardly meets the Dauphin of France, Francis. (Toby Regbo)…and his hot half-brother Bash (Torrance Coombs), who looks like a Vampire Diaries castoff who already has an Oscar in smoldering.

There’s something rotten in the state of France: Seer Nostradamus has told Francis’ mother, Queen Catherine (Megan Follows), that the marriage between her son and Mary cannot happen, because Mary “will cost Francis his life.” (History spoiler alert: Francis’ future isn’t great.) But worrying about death is for the olds — the teenagers at court have Francis’ sister’s wedding party to attend!

Microsoft releases Windows 8.1 update

Microsoft released its long-awaited Windows 8.1 upgrade as a free download Thursday. It addresses some of the gripes people have had with Windows 8, the dramatically different operating system that attempts to bridge the divide between tablets and PCs.

Windows 8.1 still features the dual worlds that Windows 8 created when it came out last October. On one hand, it features a touch-enabled tile interface resembling what's found in tablet computers. On the other, there's the old desktop mode where the keyboard and mouse still reign. The update adds some new finger- and gesture-friendly shortcuts for touch-based apps, while restoring some respect for the desktop mode that a billion PC users have become accustomed to.

Exposing her derriere on Twitter may have caused an online outcry from critics - but it seems Kim Kardashian couldn't care less.

After showing off her recent weight loss after giving birth in June, the 32-year-old Reality star now appears to be on a mission to show off as much skin as possible.

Stepping out on Thursday in LA, Kim wore a pair of short shorts, an item that the star hasn't been seen in for almost a year.

Ed Lauter dies at age 74

Veteran character actor Ed Lauter, whose long, angular face and stern bearing made him an instantly recognizable figure in scores of movies and TV shows during a career that stretched across five decades, died Wednesday. He was 74.

Lauter died of mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer most commonly caused by asbestos exposure, said his publicist, Edward Lozzi.

Whether he was an irascible authority figure, a brutal thug or a conniving con man, Lauter's presence made him all but impossible to miss in any film he was in. That was so even on those occasions when he was playing a character more bumbling than menacing, although menacing was clearly his forte.

He was the brutal prison guard who was Burt Reynolds' nemesis in the 1974 comedy-drama The Longest Yard and the sleazy gas station attendant in Alfred Hitchcock's last film, The Family Plot. In Death Wish 3, he was the violent cop who teams with Charles Bronson's vigilante to rid New York City's streets of criminals, not by incarcerating them but by killing them.

More recently he was the butler to Berenice Bejo's French ingenue in the 2011 Oscar-winning film The Artist. see more...

Eminem's homophobic 'Rap God' lyrics

Earlier this week, Eminem dropped “Rap God,” an epic six-minute cut from his highly anticipated The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The song, with its rapid-fire, seemingly eternal string of spits, garnered praise from many corners — but not everyone’s so thrilled.

“Eminem is every bit the same lazy, offensive bile-spewer he was back then,” writes The Week, “back then” being when Eminem released his original Marshall Mathers LP in 2000. “Eminem’s ‘Rap God’ is full of homophobic slurs,’” reads a Huffington Post headline. Salon also held Em responsible, calling him “a grown-ass middle-aged man” who should know better.

What’s everyone talking about? Mainly about the following lines from “Rap God”:

Home Flattened by Fire Housed Advocacy Group

Firefighters were called back to Mt.Scio Rd. in St. John's early this morning to douse hotspots of what remained from a roaring Monday night fire. The structure is not only a loss to a family, but potentially a fisheries advocacy group.

238 Mt.Scio Rd. has been associated with the Northern Coalition -- a group of six community based organizations representing in excess of 20,000 Inuit and Metis of Northern Labrador. The not-for-profit group was established in 1996 to protect shrimp allocations. No one was home at the time of the fire, just before 8 p.m. last night. The homeowner is out of town and could not be reached for comment.

From the roadway there's not much for passersby to see but yellow police tape across a long driveway. A single RNC vehicle stands guard. The chimney is all that remains, standing tall. The building was gutted, the charred metal and belongings still smouldering -- a huff of smoke hangs low over the debris as the intermittent rain showers act as a natural damper. Police have not released any information about the investigation.

Nexus 5 shows up

Google’s collaboration with LG may bear fruit yet again today, as the Nexus 5 is rumoured to launch without the same fanfare as previous years. One needs only look at the increased frequency, and quality, of leaks in recent days to confirm its imminent announcement.

The latest set of photos come from Russian social network, VK, and show the Nexus 5 in its fingerprint-happy matte black finish. The device appears to be similar in size to the Nexus 4, with smaller bezels that offset the larger screen size, and a lack of glass to ensure a more sturdy chassis.

Other than that, the phone appears to be about as nondescript as an Android device can be, with a pronounced but unremarkable 8MP camera on the back (though OIS is rumoured), a Nexus logo written vertically along the back, and that aforementioned rubbery matte finish that should protect the phone better against knocks and falls.
