Hipstamatic’s photo filter app Oggl now open for everyone

Hipstamatic's photo filter app Oggl now open for everyone

Hipstamatic’s subscription-based photo filter app is now publicly available on iTunes, a few weeks after its invite-only launch. Oggl is a free download, and you get five of its parent app’s virtual lenses and films that you can mix and match to concoct your own filters from the get-go — it also lets you edit a photo’s effects after you’ve taken it. But if you find its small selection of lenses and films limiting and you’d prefer to have the whole enchilada (read: all Hipstamatic filters), you’ve got to part with $2.99 per quarter or $9.99 per year. No word yet on whether an Android version is in the works, but a preview of the app shown at the Nokia Lumia 925 launch event indicates that it’s on its way to Windows Phone 8.

Celebrity Quotes beest week

In this week’s mind-your-own-business lesson, January Jones reminded everyone that she too is a human being whose privacy should be respected.

Since giving birth to her son Xander nearly two years ago, the actress has remained mum on the identity of his father.

“That’s my son’s business,” she told The New York Times. “It’s not the public’s business.”

Jones, 35, also quoted Jack Nicholson, who once told her, “You should never give your personal life away, otherwise people will pick you apart. “They’ll never believe in your character.”

Justin Bieber, Jay-Z and Amanda Seyfried also said some pretty interesting things this week about their age, pregnancy rumors and breasts, respectively. Check out the 10 best quotes of the week, above.

Report: Nissan’s NY taxi deal faces court obstacles

Nissan NV200 taxi - front three-quarter view

Nissan scored a big win for itself when the NV200 was named New York City’s Taxi of Tomorrow, but the compact van has been under attack ever since. The latest setback for Nissan comes from the New York Supreme Court, which has reportedly ruled the deal between NYC and Nissan is “null, void and unenforceable” since the NV200 is not a hybrid – one of the key parts of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg Taxi of Tomorrow plan.

The NV200 Taxi launches this October. Although Nissan says it is bringing a hybrid version of the van to market in 2015, the New York Supreme Court ruled against Nissan, which opens the door for taxi companies in NYC to drive non-Nissan hybrid vehicles. Despite this setback, it doesn’t sound like this ruling will affect the NV200 becoming the official taxi of NYC as a part of the 10-year contract worth an estimated $1 billion.

Celebuzz Hits The Set Of ‘Hit The Floor’

May 25th

Posted by michael in News & Gossip

No comments

VH1 is burning up your television screen with its sexy new show Hit the Floor. 

The drama unveils the world behind basketball dancing teams and is the network’s second scripted series. In addition to starring some newcomers the cast features a few familiar faces. And Celebuzz caught up with the show’s stars in between takes of taping an intense dance scene.

“What’s really strange is that two years before I found out about this audition I was a Laker girl for three months,” recalls the show’s female lead, Taylour Paige. The role of Asha is Paige’s first big-time gig. In fact, she was cast as the lead and shot the pilot for the show just two weeks before her college graduation. “I was literally on set studying for my philosophy final,” recalls Paige, “while I was also studying my lines. It was insane.”

Hit the Floor begins with Asha wanting to audition to be a dancer for the fictional Los Angeles basketball team, the Devils. Her mother Sloane, played by John Q and For Colored Girls actress Kimberly Elise, tries to keep her from auditioning because she was once a Devils girl herself. “What I see is a mother who is fixated on her daughter,” says Elise, “and hovering over her daughter and then has to let that go.”

And Asha is confronted with the dark side of the dance world rather quickly. Logan Browning plays the team’s head dancer, Jelena, and she doesn’t seem to like Asha trying to change the team’s dynamic. “[Jelena] has to be number one,” explains Browning, “if she’s not number one she doesn’t feel like she belongs. That’s why she’s driven to be the center of attention.”

Browning certainly makes commanding attention on camera look easy but she admits that she had to work on her dance skills. “I really don’t have an extensive dance background.” Browning tells CB! that after shooting the pilot episode she took classes every day for a year to be able to dance with confidence on set.

While most of the women on the show feel right at home in the dance world some of the show’s male leads are more than comfortable stepping into the basketball world. Former Superman actor on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Dean Cain, plays the role of the Devils’ basketball coach and with friends like the coach of the Dallas Cowboys and Magic Johnson Cain seems to know what he’s doing. “I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen everything that this character is living.” says Cain. “I’ve prepared my entire life to play this role.”

Cain isn’t the only one with basketball chops. Hit the Floor‘s hunk McKinley Freeman played the sport as a kid and even played all throughout college, so the show’s slam dunks are second nature to Freeman. “We were shooting in Ontario and the crew call was 8:30AM,” say Freeman, “I got there at 7:30 so I could shoot in this arena all by myself. It was perfect.”

Hit the Floor brings dance and basketball together to create a show that’s very different from VH1′a usual programming. And while we wait to see if fans will fall in love with the series we can definitely count on fierce dance scenes choreographed by Michael Rooney, who has choreographed for Kylie Minogue, Dancing with the Stars and the film 500 Days of Summer, (plus he’s the son of iconic Hollywood star Mickey Rooney).

Watch the show’s promo above to get a peek at some of the steamy dance moves.

Hit the Floor premieres Monday, May 27th at 10PM.
