GOAB aims to introduce interactivity between the user and TV programs, but also the independence of a device for changing TV channels.

Thus, GOAB can be accessed from a laptop, smartphone, or an electronic tablet. Also, all personal data will be accessible from anywhere the connection is made.

GOAB integrates social networks that will help users share their favorite programs with friends and will turn viewing TV programs into an interactive experience. However, the application is used both as a remote for the TV, but also as a TV guide.

This “remote control” of the future will know everything about user's preferences and will help in selecting and sharing the information.

With the help of devices that will have this application installed, teleshopping and advertising programs will be accessed directly and thus we will be able to shop with a remote control.

GOAB will enable active participation in televised games, as users will be able to connect on the network with friends and play while watching TV.

“It’s just a big thing because she’s Hispanic, and he’s a celebrity,” she told Telemundo.

Rozo also added that her little brother is “not something to sell,” claiming that she had “no idea” that the boy was Arnold's until the news broke last week.

“He’s my baby brother and I love him very much,” she says. “I want him to know he has a family that loves him very much. Everything will be OK.”

Jackie had nothing but kind words to say about her mother: “She’s like a superwoman pretty much. My mother does not need to justify herself.”

According to TMZ, the actress arrived at the Lynwood jail about five o’clock in the morning on Thursday, where she received an electronic ankle bracelet before being sent home.

She is to spend 35 days in isolation. The crime for which she was sentenced is a necklace theft for which she pleaded no contest. The court decided that she isn't a danger to society and hence could serve her time at home, not behind bars.

In addition to being confined to her residency, the starlet was also ordered to perform 480 hours of community service, which includes a passage in the morgue of the County of Los Angeles.

Cheryl Cole, who was personally selected by Simon Cowell to join X Factor's American jury, has reportedly been fired from the show. The British musician was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, originally recruited to co-host the show with Steve Jones.

“It hasn’t worked out,” a source said. “She’s homesick and wants to return to the U.K. She’s had enough. Whether she ends up back on U.K. X Factor is open to speculation.”

Nicole will join Simon Cowell, Antonio “LA” Reid and Paula Abdul on the jury.

According to TMZ, the producers didn't like Cheryl Cole's British accent, which they considered too difficult to understand for an American audience. Producers have therefore preferred to sack the singer.

A source commented on Cole's reaction to the news: “She isn’t on the show anymore. Everyone is gobsmacked. This came out of nowhere. She had already been tested countless times. Simon had nothing to do with it. This is the network’s doing.”

The other element that explains this choice is the lack of chemistry between Cheryl Cole and Paula Abdul, the other woman on the panel of jurors. The information is not yet officially confirmed, but changes will be made to the American jury.

Dannii Minogue, who was Cole’s former fellow The X Factor U.K. judge, tweeted her support: “Judging roles should come with a life jacket, drop down oxygen and a life raft!”

Russell Brand also expressed his surprise at the news on a British TV show Thursday: “Our Cheryl, kicked off X Factor? Oh no! She’s Britain’s sweetheart.”

Cheryl is said to be “royally p****d off” and plans to severe all ties with the show.

The X Factor will be aired on Fox starting in September.
