To look at her, you’d think Lana Del Rey’s inspirations come mostly from 1940s detective movies and sepia-toned Hollywood pinups. But the “Video Games” singer told England’s Magic 105.4 that one of her big fashion and music icons is Britney Spears.

“I’m not really interested in a ton of female musicians but there is something about Britney that compelled me — the way she sings and just the way she looks,” Del Rey said. And even though she’s just released her major-label debut under the Del Rey name, she added that she’s already kind of over music-making.

“The thing that makes me happy now isn’t really singing,” she said. “Music was once the be-all and end-all, but when you lose everything you have over and over again, it’s not so important.”

It might be a bit early for her to bail on the whole music thing though, since her album, Born to Die, topped the iTunes album charts in 14 countries this week, including the U.S., U.K., Italy, France, Germany, Ireland and Mexico.

The chart triumph — and a possible #2 debut next week on the Billboard albums tally — came despite a rash of negative or middling reviews
 of the album as well as the continuing fallout from her shaky “Saturday Night Live”
 debut last month.

The haterade has gotten her label boss, Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine, to chime in on the flack his latest protégé has been taking. “It’s a drag,” Iovine told The Hollywood Reporter. “Maybe this is a new sport. It’s something we’ve never seen before. Or maybe it’s [like] the Giants and the Jets.” Del Rey herself told Rolling Stone that she thought she looked “beautiful” and sang “fine” on the show, saying that “that’s just the way I perform, and my fans know that.”

Say what you want about Del Rey’s looks, attitude and performance ability, but Iovine said there is one thing you can’t mess with.

Musically, he thinks Die is “really good. Great lyrics and great songs. I don’t care what anybody says, ‘Video Games’ is a great song. When she sings that song, it moves me. It’s how we signed her — she sang and it was beautiful. I think she’s really talented. Period.”

Barnes & Noble bans aren’t just for superheroes anymore. The bookseller let it be known this week that it will be pulling Amazon Publishing titles from the shelves of its 700-odd retail locations, in protest of exclusivity deals struck by the mega-online retailer. As one B&N exec told The New York Times, “Our decision is based on Amazon’s continued push for exclusivity with publishers, agents and the authors they represent,” adding, “Their actions have undermined the industry as a whole and have prevented millions of customers from having access to content.” Barnes & Noble will apparently continue to sell some Amazon titles through its own site, but good luck using its WiFi.

While we’re still a few weeks away from annual phone festival, MWC, it’s these weeks in the run-up that often draw out blurrycam appetizers of what we’ll see over in Barcelona. This time, it’s no other than the HTC Edge Ville, that rumored divergent mix of quad-core processing bulk and slimline form-factor: something we don’t typically see the unibody-armored HTC family. In the leaked video, you’ll be getting a look at a heavily disguised version of Ice Cream Sandwich, covered in contentious (but new!) Sense sauce. The mysterious handset mole is also kind enough to pay a visit to the phone’s specification list, confirming, at least if this is the finished article, an eight megapixel camera, 4.3-inch qHD display and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. Alas, it looks like this isn’t going to be the rumored quad-core debut from the Taiwanese phone maker, although going on past form, it won’t shock us if the company reveals a whole line-up of handsets for us to meddle with next month. Take the tour yourself — it’s right after the break.

Update: Looks like the original video has been unceremoniously switched to private. Fortunately, we managed to grab a copy beforehand.

Brad Keselowski AUTODESK INSIGHT ENTERPRISES

The news coming out of Research In Motion just keeps on flowing. We're just over a week into the reign of new CEO Thorsten Heins, and the latest is this new image of the BlackBerry London secured by our cousins over at Crackberry. For those that aren't familiar with the going's on over in the BlackBerry camp, BB10 is the next generation QNX based OS that is supposed to herald a whole new era for the platform. The BlackBerry London is thought to be the first BB10 smartphone. 

In his first interview with Crackberry, Heins brought a lot of insight with him. He also, you may recall, gave them his thoughts on Android hardware and how it "all looks the same." Forgive us for saying this, but the London kind of looks a bit a lot like an Android smartphone. Droid X, anyone? It'll probably run Android applications as well, via the Runtime for Android Applications feature found in the forthcoming Playbook OS 2.0.

The first leaked images of the London were vastly different to this. With its angled corners, and the kind of brushed metal finish found on the ultra-expensive Porsche Design P'9981, that sure did look different. Different to anything RIM had ever put out, and definitely different to anything in the Android war chest. 

Crackberry Kevin thinks the London looks like a trimmed down version of a Blackberry Playbook. As a Playbook owner, I definitely see a resemblance. It's a little disappointing though if this is what the finished hardware will look like. Android does have an awful lot of black slabs, just as BlackBerry have an awful lot of QWERTY devices

In a bid to keep iPhones sold in Hong Kong on the island nation, Apple has reintroduced reserve and pick up pages for the smartphones. The difference this time around is the inclusion of the customer’s Hong Kong identity card number within the registration form, which goes live between 9am and 12pm each day. The aim is put breaks on the speculative smartphone buyers picking up several devices to mule across to mainland China. You’ll still need a bit of luck; Apple performs a random draw each day for those that registered, and ‘winners’ are informed via email. Each card can apparently buy a limited quantity of the in-demand phone — one that’s getting some smartphone obsessives a little too hot under the collar.
