Dannii Minogue Shows Off Her Baby Bump Wearing Willow
On Saturday Dannii Minogue greeted fans whilst proudly showed off her growing baby bump when arrived for the start of 'Australia's Got Talent' auditions in Melbourne, Australia.
The 5 month pregnant star – who appears to have committed herself to finding talent – looked stunning wearing a purple furry Willow dress which was accented with a black belt which sat just above her bump.
Her look was paired with black knee-high boots, large statement earrings and nail polish which matched her dress.
Dannii was the most stylish judge on the X Factor last year, and I'm sure she's going to impress us with her maternity style.
Dannii will continue to work right up until the final of Australia's Got Talent at the end of April before she gives birth to her first child in July.

New Michael Jackson album in November
TMZ has confirmed the Michael Jackson estate has signed the biggest deal ever in music -- worth up to $250 million with a guarantee of $200 million.
The estate made the deal with Sony Music Entertainment. According to the Associated Press, the contract is for 10 projects over seven years.
One album will debut in November, which contains never-before released recordings. We're told Jackson left enough material for at least three albums of fresh material.
A source tells TMZ the royalty rate on foreign sales is the key to the deal -- and 2/3 of the sales of MJ records traditionally have been outside the U.S.
And we're told Sony gets a two-year extension for the right to distribute the Michael Jackson catalog -- to 2017.
The deal was brokered by John Branca and John McClain, executors of the MJ estate.

Vampire Weekend Perform "Holiday" On Jimmy Fallon
Will the Vampire Weekend promo blitz ever end? Number one on the album charts isn't enough for these guys or their label. I guess it's the "strike while the iron is hot" maxim because you may be yesterday's news tomorrow. This is the latest volley from the band in the late night TV arena, last Friday night's appearance on Fallon.

Zenescope Brings Charmed to Comics
Zenescope Entertainment has officially announced they have obtained the comic book and graphic novel publishing rights to the television property CHARMED (1998-2006) created by Constance M. Burge from Spelling Entertainment, under license from CBS Consumer Products.
The comic book publisher, known for beautiful, sultry and strong female characters, has now added three more to the mix. The ultra-popular CHARMED television series aired for eight seasons on The WB network and averaged more than 4 million viewers throughout its run.
Zenescope's comic book series will feature a brand new storyline which picks up where the television series left off. The story follows the Halliwell sisters, a beautiful trio descended from a line of powerful but good witches, as they battle against evil beings in modern day San Francisco.
Attached to write the new comic book series is author Paul Ruditis, who has written several Charmed novels such as Leo Rising (with Constance M. Burge) and As Puck Would Have It. Co-writing with Ruditis will be Raven Gregory, writer of the acclaimed Wonderland trilogy published by Zenescope. Renowned artist Dave Hoover (Captain America, The Wanderers) will be providing interior illustrations for the series.
"The key to this series success is to strike a nice balance in creating a brand new, intriguing storyline for fans of the television show while also not alienating Zenescope and comic book readers who haven't really followed it before but might want to now that it's a comic," said Zenescope Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco. "The great thing is that Paul and Raven have done just that with this story arc. Anybody will be able to pick up this series and follow it whether or not they ever watched the show before. Moreover, fans of the show are going to be thrilled when they see where this story goes."
Issue #0 is scheduled for a June release with issue #1 to debut at Comic Con International in San Diego this July.

more Halloween III news
In an interview with Fangoria, Tom Atkins, known from his roles in NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, THE FOG & the original HALLOWEEN 3 (1982) reveals that he, Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer plan to collaborate yet again (first in the upcoming movie Drive Angry - being released in 2011) —on the much-discussed HALLOWEEN III.
The third entry in the new Michael Myers franchise, begun by Rob Zombie, hit a snag with the Weinstein Company a little while back, and the actor says, "They're still looking for the money, but it's pretty much set to go this December or early next year. Me and Scout Taylor-Compton are both going to do it." And his role in the sequel? "Sort of like a Dr. Frankenstein—'It's aliiiiive!' No, I'm a shrink in a mental hospital that Laurie [Taylor-Compton] is in with a bunch of other girls who have been up to no good. I'm trying to help them find a way to the light."
If you are thinking this might be a remake of the original Halloween III, think again. The original Halloween III had nothing to do with Michael Myers. The new Halloween III, if ever made, will be an original sequel to the Rob Zombie remake Halloween and Halloween II.
Also, apparently the film was in the "could be shelved" status last fall, and Todd Farmer wrote a blog about his involvement with Halloween III, which gave insight of how Halloween III may or may not happen. "I've been doing this Hollywood thing since '96. When I got here I was happy and loved movies and loved people…now I'm just a big dark pit of hate. When dealing with producers and executives there's always this guarded nature. " You can read that blog here.
Scout Taylor-Compton said over stickam that she would like to play Laurie again, if the script is good. The original ONTD post can be read here.

American: The Bill Hicks Story Trailer Online - SXSW Premiere
SXSW: Have Your Perceptions Changed By American: The Bill Hicks Story - By Josh Tyler: 2010-03-15 17:53:49
The UK filmmakers responsible for American: The Bill Hicks Story explain their film's title as a question, a question they hope people will ask when they see it on the poster. Though almost without a doubt one of the greatest, most poignant stand-up comics ever to take the stage, Hicks never found widespread fame in America. Their hope is that the legions of potential fans who still haven't discovered him will see the poster and wonder what it is about Hicks that makes him such a quintessential American. Who is this guy who they're claiming as one of us? He's Bill Hicks and even though he's been dead for more than a decade, his comedy could change your life.
But American: The Bill Hicks Story is more than just a series of great stand-up moments from Bill, though it contains plenty of those. The film successfully charts the course he took to become the man he was, to hone the sharp, funny, social commentary he brought to the stage. Perhaps most importantly, it does that without being boring.
The biggest problem with making a documentary about someone who's dead is that they're not there to put up on screen. Normally this results in a series of interviews with people who knew the subject, but whom we the audience don't care about and thus have no real interest in watching up there on screen as they hog the subject's glory. Directors Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas have solved this problem with technology. Using a vast archive of photos taken of Bill throughout his life, they've created what is essentially an animated slideshow of Bill's life. As the people who knew him speak about the places he went and the things he did, Thomas and Harlock show Bill up there on screen doing them. In some cases they have actual photos to animate, in others they use computer generated imagery with actual photos of Bill skillfully superimposed into the scene to make it look like he's really there. It's kind of like those commercials where they resurrect dead actors and force them to become pitchmen for their product. Except in this case it's much more simply done and the people doing it aren't pure fucking evil. Seriously, if you're in advertising, kill yourself. A message from Bill Hicks.
Animating their documentary in this way not only keeps the audience awake, it draws you into the story of Bill's life. It comes alive in creating a complete portrait of how he became the brilliant social commentator and comedian he was. And when there's a lull in the documentary's story telling, no problem, they have Bill. If nothing else American: The Bill Hicks Story is worth seeing for the numerous minutes of Bill Hicks performances shown in the film. Even now, fifteen or twenty years later, Bill kills. His message is as relevant now, or perhaps more relevant now, than it was then. He stalks the stage railing against injustice and our own fucking stupidity. He pleads with his audience for logic and common sense, wandering the country begging people to listen. While he was alive, all too few in America did. Now's your chance. See this movie. Force people you know to see it with you. Drag them kicking, and screaming. Bill Hicks needs your help. For more info on the film visit AmericantheMovie
But Bill can make a case for his brilliance better than a lowly hack like I can. See the movie, you'll know what I mean. In the meantime, I'll shut the hell up and let Bill speak for himself.
Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Hicks:
After the film directors Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas took the stage. They were joined by Bill Hicks' brother Steve. Bill's mother was in the audience as well. It was clear they were emotional about the film. I also got a sense of great pride in Steve's voice when talking about his brother and Steve and his family's desire to spread Bill's message.
Steve said there is 150 hours of never before seen video of Bill Hicks performing, over 200 hours of never released audio and a shoebox filled with tapes of Bill's music recorded while he was on the road. Steve went to Abbey Road and mastered all of the music and he expects around Fall of 2010 we'll be seeing some of all this unreleased material start to be put out there.

Exclusive: Summit looking at Academy Award-nominated directors for 'Breaking Dawn'
Yes, it's still early days, but Summit is trying to up its pedigree for its big-screen adaptation of the final installment of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Sources tell EW that the studio has reached out to at least three top-notch directors, including Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) to gauge their interest in what is likely to be two movies. (Van Sant's reps confirmed that he's been approached, but Coppola and Condon's people didn't return phone calls by press time. Summit declined to comment.)
No decisions are likely to be made until the studio delivers screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg's detailed outline to the directors. That should happen sometime next week. Until then we can just wonder how these three very diverse directors will approach Bella's controversial birthing scene.

Avatar will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on ~Earth Day~, April 22
Avatar will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 22
"Avatar" may be the ultimate big-screen experience, but how will it fit into the living rooms of America?
That's the challenge presented to Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, which on Tuesday will announce some unconventional plans for the DVD and Blu-ray release of the highest-grossing film in the history of Hollywood box office.
"Avatar" will hit stores on April 22, and instead of a disc loaded with extras, it will be just the opposite -- a lean-and-mean approach with only the movie and a relatively simple menu function, a move made to exploit every bit of disc space for the top-of-the-line audio and video presentation of the film, according to the movie's producer, Jon Landau.
In fact, according to sources at Fox, "Avatar" will make history as the first Blu-ray new release from a major studio to hit stores without a single trailer or promotional content of any kind.

School Gyrls {Feat. Mariah Carey}
You may not be familiar with the School Gyrls just yet, but they're a new three-piece tween girl group created by Nick Cannon and signed to his NCredible Entertainment label. They haven't exactly hit the big time yet, but they just had their own movie released on Nickelodeon which co-starred Justin Bieber and Kristinia DeBarge.
They're also working on an album, and the latest single to be lifted from it is the urban-pop club banger "Get Like Me" that was penned by Nick and his superstar wife Mariah Carey, and actually features Mariah on some "sexy" background vocals.

Gaga's Jail Yard Girlfriend Speaks
Heather Cassils, a performance artist, personal trainer, and the woman who was cast as Lady Gaga's jail yard girlfriend and make out partner in the "Telephone" video just gave an interview to Out magazine about how she was cast for the clip, her thoughts on representations of queer women in the media, and making out with the most famous woman in the world.
I cut out a few of the better bits for the tl;dr crowd but the whole interview is actually really really thoughtful:
Out: Were you familiar with Gaga's work before you were cast for the shoot?
Heather Cassils: I was not a totally massive fan per se, but my background and training is as an artist, and I did notice she was bringing a lot of elements of performance art into her pop cultural practice. And she has referenced people like Leigh Bowery and feminist performances, so I was aware of that, and that's what caught my eye about her more than anything else -- as well as the fact that she was doing something different and presenting herself differently from other pop stars who have been around in the last little while.
How did you get cast in the video?
I got cast because I work as a personal trainer. I run my own independent contracting business, and I run it out of a gay gym in Silver Lake. There's a woman at my gym named Dallas, and she's also kind of an aspiring actress of sorts, and she had been called in to play one of the guards. She called me up from the casting and said they were desperate for bodybuilders, and she told them, "There's this person at my gym who's not a pro bodybuilder, but she has a really cut physique," and she suggested I'd be perfect for it. So I went down and auditioned -- but I'm not hormones or anything like that -- so they ended up casting me as an inmate in the prison scene. They were blocking the scene, and the woman who was blocking for Gaga disappeared, and Gaga came out, and she just kind of instantly called me over, and it just happened like that. She called me over and asked me to portray her girlfriend and said, "OK, you're going to be my prison girlfriend, and you're going to come to me, and I'd like you to touch me inappropriately." [Laughs] We just kind of went from there.
So, it just happened right there on the spot?
Yeah. It was a very strange, organic Los Angeles moment.
What was Gaga like on set?
She was extremely professional and very, very funny. After we did the [kissing] shot, she screamed across the yard to me, "I think you got me pregnant!" [Laughs] She was also very present and real. She took the time to ask people what they did for a living and who they were and where they were from. She was a very genuine, grounded person.
OK -- let's get to the juicy stuff: What was the kiss like?
I think we did several takes -- to be honest, it was a little bit of a blur because it happened so quickly. On the first, take her cigarette sunglasses were steaming a little bit, but by the third or fourth take we were both inhaling a lot of secondhand smoke [Laughs]. It was kind of intense. And it just kind of happened naturally because she didn't really give me explicit instructions to kiss her -- it just felt like a natural thing to do. In fact, I sniffed her like a kind of aggressive beast. And as we got closer, she actually put her tongue in my mouth. She just went for it. [Laughs] It was really good.

JWOWW Vows: There Is No Way I'm Going Bigger!
Jenni Farley promises she won't be adding any more wow to JWOWW. In the wake of (false) Internet reports of another boob job, the 'Jersey Shore' star known as JWOWW says she's more than happy with her current size.
"Going bigger would not work for me," JWOWW tells PopEater, speaking over the music at the Springbreakitdown.com pool party at the Tropicana.
To put the issue to rest, the reality star believes her current surgically-enhanced size is just right -- knocking back critics who say they are already a tad obvious. "They look big," says JWOWW. "But I have such a wide upper frame that they actually are in proportion." haha what?
But she's dealing with the fallout from the enhancement rumors: "I don't know how this got so far along," JWOWW says of the incorrect reports. "I actually started laughing when I read that. I'm the same size, same everything."
The rumor might have started when she talked previously about a replacement procedure, which she says is needed every ten years. If she does go back under the knife, she'd only change one thing. "I was considering getting silicone instead of saline," she says. "When I got this done, I was under the age of 22, where you are only legally allowed saline."

Oscar Theory #5: Win Best Actress, Get Divorced
This article was written in early March...how clairvoyant.
Over the past nine years, a slightly disturbing trend has emerged for whoever ascends the stage, teary-eyed, to collect the Best Actress statue. Almost all the winners in this time period have gotten divorced, or called off super long-term relationships that seemed to have no expiration date. And none of these breakups were exactly amicable.
Benjamin Bratt was the lucky man on Julia Roberts' arm when she won the Oscar for her role in "Erin Brockovich" in 2001. Three months later their relationship was over—he went on to marry Talisa Soto, while she's had three kids with husband Danny Moder. She's yet to be nominated for a second time, so hopefully this relationship is safe.
The second actress to fall victim to this trend? Halle Berry, who won Best Actress in 2002 for "Monster's Ball." She'd been dating hot musician Eric Benet for years, and the two got hitched in 2001. Shortly after winning her Best Actress Oscar, Benet started cheating on her and allegedly went to sex addiction rehab. But it wasn't enough—the couple separated in 2003 and divorced in 2005.
Infamously, Hilary Swank forgot to thank her hubby Chad Lowe, brother of Rob, when she won Best Actress in 2000 for her role as Brandon Teena in "Boys Don't Cry." Still, Chad seemed ultra supportive of her, and they were the ultimate down-to-earth Hollywood couple. They had just crossed the 13-years-together mark when Hilary won again in 2005, for "Million Dollar Baby," and she made sure to thank him, first thing. The two divorced a year later. Rumors circulated that he couldn't handle the level of success she'd found.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe met at her 21st birthday party—she supposedly walked up to him and said, "I think you're my birthday present"—and got married less than a year later. Reese had already popped out two kidlets seven years later, when she won Best Actress for her role in "Walk the Line," and the pair seemed forevers. Nope. They split eight months after she gave her acceptance speech. Many assume Ryan was cheating on her with Abbie Cornish.
( Collapse )The one piece of good news in this equation—last year's Best Actress winner, Kate Winslet, is adorably married to director Sam Mendes. Still, married gals Sandra Bullock, Helen Mirren, and Meryl Streep better watch out. Especially Sandra, since we have a hunch she is going to win. We'd really hate to see her and Jesse James dunzo.

Actor James McAvoy can't miss birth of million dollar baby
Actor James McAvoy (Atonement, Wanted) has reportedly turned down a role (and one hefty paycheck) to prepare for the biggest role of his life: becoming a dad. According the U.K.'s Telegraph, McAvoy, 30, has pulled out of the film I'm With Cancer because the timing of the shoot (which began the first week of March in Canada) may have interfered with the birth of his first child.
McAvoy and his wife, 39-year-old actress Ann-Marie Duff (The Last Station) are expecting the arrival of their first child very soon. A friend of McAvoy's told the Telegraph, "James wants to be there when his baby's born."
McAvoy's decision to bail on the project reportedly cost the Scottish actor a pretty penny. The role allegedly would have paid a "seven-figure sum." What a dilemma, but what a noble choice!
McAvoy's Cancer castmate and producer, Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), had this to say: "It's incredibly unfortunate that circumstances outside of everyone's control have taken James away from the project. We all look forward to working with James in the future."
In light of McAvoy's departure, (500) Days of Summer star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has stepped in to take over the role in the comedy, according to EW.com. The film also stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, and recent Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air).

TV Ratings Monday
Against weaker than normal competition, both House and Chuck dropped 17 percent in adults 18-49 versus last week. House dropped to a 4.0 rating and Chuck sunk to a 1.9.
With CBS in repeats other than a new episode of Rules of Engagement, and ABC running a 20/20 special on The Bachelor and a repeat of Castle, it might have been a night for FOX and NBC to feast but it was not to be.
24 was down from last week too, but only one-tenth of an adults 18-49 ratings point.
Even in reruns CBS's 9pm comedy block performed. Law & Order lost to a repeat of CSI: Miami and tied with a repeat of Castle.
But while things were bad for NBC and FOX at 8pm, things looked up for Life Unexpected which delivered its best numbers since it's second week on January 25 ( women 18-34 (1.8/6), adults 18-34 (1.3/4), women 18-49 (1.4/4) and total viewers (2.11mil).

Music Video Pioneer Michel Gondry on Lady Gaga: 'I'm Not Interested'
Michel Gondry has made some of the most indelible music videos of all time for some of the biggest acts of the last two decades, including Radiohead, Björk, Foo Fighters, The White Stripes, Beck and even Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones. So when Movieline caught up with him today to discuss his forthcoming documentary Thorn in the Heart, it seemed a great opportunity to feel him out on the new vanguard of the form: Lady Gaga, whose epic awful "Telephone" video has swept popular culture with a fury, frenzy and inspiration not seen since the glory days of which Gondry himself was a part. His response — which swept through genre monoliths from Michael Jackson to Madonna to Marilyn Manson — was unexpected to say the least.
"I'm not interested," he said. "To me it's like a form of Marilyn Manson. It's hard for me to talk about it; I've seen a couple of videos of hers, and not for very long. I stop watching them each time because I don't think there's melodies. I'm sorry to be negative. Like I'm not a big fan of Madonna. I respect her very much, but unfortunately the videos didn't help the music in the long run. Well, I guess it helped it to survive to the point where the video was irrelevant. So music has to find its own way, which is good for the music. It becomes smaller and more alive and it's not as crazy, except for some R&B. To me, it's just talking about the surface. I compare it to Marilyn Manson. The music to me is very expected. I don't think there's anything in the tone or the melody that makes me say, 'Oh, there's something going on.'
"And I like commercial music," Gondry continued. "Michael Jackson will always be my favorite pop musician; he was for years and years until his death, which was horrible to me. So I like pop culture. But to me, even if it's popular, there is a quality in the music you have to be able to appreciate. And I don't see it. Her melodies are very conventional. I remember when my friend and I would argue about Killing Joke. I remember him saying, 'It's so great!' But I said, 'It's so conventional! How can you find anything original? It's just surface!' I don't know, maybe the comparison is ridiculous. But the melody was very, very flat. That's probably why they are famous. But maybe it's considered high art just because of the way she dresses?" (YESSSS)
That raised the question of the decline of the music video overall, the foundational art form that MTV has essential banished from network.
"But you know, in 1999 or 2000, MTV and VH1 did the 100 Best Videos of All Time — two different selections — and I had zero videos in either of them," Gondry said. "So when people tell me I'm the 'MTV Generation,' I just say, 'No.' I never won any MTV [Video Music Awards]. Oh, except for one for a video I did for Massive Attack, actually, and I lost it. My producer was furious. He wanted to put it in his office. But I loved videos. I remember watching videos very late at night — Michael Jackson videos. The first rap videos were amazing: Run-DMC, Tone Loc, all of that was just amazing. The Beastie Boys videos were always great. But then it became very stereotyped. There was this confusion. Also: The MTV Video Awards were never about the video, but about the song. Most of the time it was just to glorify people for the wrong reason."
Got it — and there's more where that came from. Look for it here at Movieline as Thorn in the Heart's April 2 release date approaches.

A bunch of people inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Genesis has the invisible touch. Not so much Iggy Pop and the Stooges.
After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the Waldorf Astoria in New York tonight, Iggy stayed true to form, ripping off his shirt and tearing into "Search and Destroy," his 62-year-old abs rippling as always.
"Let's f--k it up!" the Michigan-born, seemingly moon-bred rocker shouted as he took the stage after Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong did the induction honors.
"Come on, you're not too rich to be cool!" Pop urged the largely staid, tuxedo-clad crowd, eventually getting Armstrong and Eddie Vedder to join him onstage for "I Wanna Be Your Dog."
Phish performed Genesis' "Watcher of the Skies" and "No Reply at All," then Trey Anastasio introduced the British prog-rockers turned chart-friendly popsters. Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Michael Rutherford were in attendance.
As for their onetime frontman's absence, Rutherford said that Peter Gabriel was sorry to miss the big night.
"He has a very legitimate and genuine excuse," he said. "He's actually starting a tour." An "orchestral tour," Collins added backstage.
Genesis wasn't the only group missing a few members. ABBA cofounders Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog weren't there, either. (Mamma Mia! star Meryl Streep was, though!)
The Bee Gees' Barry and Robin Gibb inducted the Swedish pop group.
Jackson Browne was on hand to induct megaproducer David Geffen, Wyclef Jean inducted reggae artist Jimmy Cliff, and Steven Van Zandt did the honors for the Manchester-originating pop band the Hollies.
Bruce Springsteen and wife Patti Scialfa, Chris Isaak, Adam Levine, the Animals' Eric Burdon, Train's Pat Monahan, Faith Hill, Jesse Carmichael and Ronnie Spector also made the scene.

Update about Captain America's leading lady
It was previously reported that Steve Rogers' love interest was Betsy Ross but Deadline is reporting the love interest is Peggy Carter:
UPDATE: Marvel Studios is also testing leads for the female role of Peggy Carter. While Marvel is looking for an American actor to play Captain America, the candidates for the female lead are British. So far, Keira Knightley, Alice Eve and Emily Blunt are under consideration. Blunt is known to be a favorite of Marvel brass. She was offered the role of Black Widow in Iron Man 2, until Fox exercised an option it held on the actress and put her into Gulliver's Travels. Scarlett Johansson took the role.
More info about the love interest:
The female role is that of Peggy Carter, a girlfriend of Captain America during World War II. She was also an American agent serving with the French Resistance. She has standard military training and is handy with a gun. She is also a competent spy and detective. Her niece Sharon Carter becomes a prominent figure later on in Captain's life as she works for The Avengers and occasionally dates Steve Rogers.

What do you think, ONTD? My money is on Alice Eve. Keira is far too expensive for those cheap fucks at Marvel and going from Black Widow to Peggy is such a downgrade for Blunt (plus she's Catwoman okay).

Interview with The Sarah Silverman Program's Brian and Steve
Steve Agee (left) and Brian Posehn
You know how Valley Village's anti-gay, anti-brunch mayor May Kadoody was exposed by Sarah Silverman for having top secret bra-and-granny-panties-wearing lesbian brunch with famed Cookie Party hostess Mini Coffee? And then how after May Kadoody resigned in disgrace, the Valley Village anti-gay marriage law was overturned so that gigantic, orange, gay couple Brian and Steve could finally get married?
You don't? Well that's what recently happened on The Sarah Silverman Program (currently airing on Comedy Central and Logo), a week after Brian and Steve battled the ghost of a guy they accidentally murdered with a TV remote. When Brian and Steve got married, they bumped fists instead of kissing. Because that's what happens in a world where gays are also part-time ghostbusters.
Here's what Brian Posehn and Steve Agee, the guys who play "Brian" and "Steve," have to say about some of that stuff:

Kate Winslet's Rocky Road to Divorce
Actress and Sam Mendes fell out after making movie about a failing marriage
Kate Winslet's marriage to Sam Mendes hit the rocks after they made a movie
together about a couple who break up, friends said last night.
Months of stormy rows followed the filming of Revolutionary Road, in which
Mendes directed his wife co-starring with Leonardo DiCaprio.
They culminated in a joint statement by the couple confirming they had parted.
'The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement,' it said. 'Both
parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children.'
A friend of 34-year-old Miss Winslet said she now plans to divorce Mendes, who
is ten years her senior, saying: 'That's it, it is final.'

Anna Kendrick promoting "Up in the Air" in Tokyo
Taking her hit movie all over the world, Anna Kendrick was spotted promoting "Up in the Air" in Tokyo, Japan today (March 16).
The "Twilight" babe was all smiles as she greeted the press at Bluenote Tokyo, sporting a sexy strapless ice blue dress with matching peep-toe heels.
As for her "Twilight" roots, Anna told press she's up in the air over whether or not she'd like to see "Breaking Dawn" in 3-D.
"I'm still undecided about 3-D, personally. But obviously they don't consult me personally on whether or not 'Breaking Dawn' is going to be in 3-D."

Megan Fox: a Disciplinarian Step-Mom?
Megan Fox is trying to be the best stepmom-to-be for her fiancé Brian Green's son Kassius from actress Vanessa Marcil and even feels guilty every time she has to leave the kid for shooting her films.
According to Imdb.com, Megan Fox says, "Sometimes I get sad because I'm out of town a lot. Brian works, but he's always in town but I have to travel a lot and sometimes that's hard because it'll be weeks and weeks without seeing Cash (Kassius), and that's sad. Luckily, he's used to it, because both of his parents are in the business. And it's not so hard on him, but I feel guilty a lot."
The Transformers actress says she's the disciplinarian at home because Brian feels bad about punishing his son. Fox added, "I was raised in the South and my mom was a strict disciplinarian. It's really easy for me to lay out the rules and make sure that the rules are followed constantly, but I think because he's from a home with divorced parents, it's hard for Brian to punish him. He feels bad that Cash has to always go through the transition in switching homes."

I'm not surprised by this as David has no new single or record to promote and the Stones are too good for Ai.

BREAKING NEWS: JEDWARD AXED BY SONY AFTER ONE SINGLE
X Factor stars John & Edward have been dropped by their record company Sony after the performance of their debut single disappointed bosses.
The pair's first release 'Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)' - a collaboration with rapper Vanilla Ice - only managed to enter the UK chart at number two last month before dropping to 12 a week later.
A Sony source told The Sun: "We tried our best to make the lads credible recording artists but punters just weren't that bothered.
"They are great lads but haven't got the greatest voices, so they're something to see rather than listen to.
"Record companies are going through major upheaval so we have to be very careful what we throw our weight behind. I'm sure Jedward will be able to make a buck touring as a novelty act."
John & Edward's manager Louis Walsh confirmed the news last night but insisted that he remains "completely committed" to the twins.
He added: "The boys have a sell-out tour in Ireland straight after The X Factor tour in April and I'm in talks with a major record label about a new deal for them."

Courtney Love - Vogue Italia
The consummate rockstar, she's always approached everything at full speed: her life, her looks and her music. She has a daughter with Kurt Cobain with whom she had a love affair and shared a passion for excess. She's proved to be a talented actress in the film The People vs. Larry Flynt, in a role that earned her a Golden Globe nomination
Courtney Love.
Her parents separated when she was only five; she lived with her mother but spent most of her time in reforms schools and detention centers. At 15 she became a stripper and later on started her first band, Sugar Babylon.
When still a teenager, she left the US for Dublin, where she met Julian Cope, the leader of the post-punk scene in Liverpool. Courtney lived in Liverpool for a while before moving to London.
The alcohol and drug abuse dates back to this period, and it will worsen when she goes back to America and when she met Kurt Cobain, leader of Nirvana. To be with him she separated from her first husband, James Moreland.
The relationship with Kurt - they were married in 1992 - is marked by jealousy and excess (when Courtney got pregnant, he overdosed for the first time) but also by great moments of inspiration: Kurt writes Heart-Shaped Box for her, Courtney answers back with Malibu.
The couple have a daughter together, Frances Bean, and it's mainly because of her that Courtney tried to quit drugs: she adores her and doesn't want to lose custody.
In 2005 she was sentenced to six months in rehab for violating the law on possession and use of illegal substances.
In December 2010 Frances Bean asked to be entrusted to the care of Wendy O' Connor, Kurt's mother. The Judge issues a restraining order according to which Courtney is forbidden to go near her daughter. Courtney is furious.

Another "Telephone" Post...But With More Beyoncé
Lady Gaga said that when she joined forces with Beyoncé for the latter's "Video Phone" clip, she wanted to "pay tribute" to the Destiny's Child alumna by stripping down to look more like the "Bootylicious" superstar.
Well, for the pair's most recent collaboration, B certainly returned the favor (and some!) by entering Gaga's world for "Telephone."

Jen Garner goes to the doctor's office; the source jumps to conclusions
Looky who we spotted leaving a doctors office in Beverly Hills this week.
It's Jennifer Garner! Now we're not ones to jump to any conclusions here, but what if this doctors visit had something to do with those early signs of a baby bump?
Could her and Ben Affleck have been getting busy again?
The two already have two children together, both daughters, Violet and Seraphina.
Garner is enjoying the success of her latest flick, Valentines day, while she gears up for her next film that she will also be producing. Butter, a comedy, will have her co-starring as an ambitious butter sculptress from the Midwest who goes up against a 12-year-old newbie carver in a local contest.
The film has yet to be cast, but there are talks going on with Jim Carrey and Kate Hudson, according to reports.
Butter sculpting! Who knew?

Wayne Coyne Shows Up on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"
He helps build a house
Wayne Coyne: Flaming Lips frontman, fearless freak... and good Samaritan! As the Flaming Lips' Twitter points out, Wayne appeared on the ABC television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on Sunday night. Though his face-time on the show was quite brief (he only showed up on camera at the very end, cracking a bad "Do You Realize??" pun), Wayne's contribution was valuable. You can watch the full episode here.
If you aren't familiar with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", be warned: unless you have a heart of stone, it will make you cry. The premise is that in each episode, host Ty Pennington and his gang of designers, contractors, and builders (including the rapper Xzibit!) build a new house for a needy family, with the aid of an army of community volunteers. In Sunday's episode, Wayne Coyne was one of those volunteers, helping construct a new house for his fellow Oklahomans, the Skaggs family. You get to see him walking around with a hard hat on, carrying armloads of sod. (Yes, I am tearing up as I write this.)
And speaking of Wayne Coyne and extreme home makeovers... have you seen his own house?
He should have his own Saturday morning cartoon y/n

Blind Item
This once B/C actress once had a promising future and was rocketing to the top. Now, she is throwing her life away every chance she gets. Her self-destructive habits might have gotten her attention in the past, also endangering the lives of others, but now she's putting on a whole show of a mess for random people to see. Not only is she dragging those around her into substance abuse, she's also been driving under the influence, stealing from friends, and having others pick up her messes. Most recently we hear she's been fond of Chatroulette, which normally wouldn't be a big deal because she's been dressing up and disguising herself. Except that once her identity is discovered, she'll be in big trouble. You'll know her by the illegal activities she is doing online for everyone to see, and she's almost always completely high when she does them. It won't be long until the world hears about her little secret life. Not Mischa Barton.

MTV Music Book Club: Kerli Likes Good Faeries, Bad Faeries
Estonian singer Kerli spent the first five minutes of our interviewing anxious about being asked to pick a book. After reading some of the previous posts, she was certain she couldn't delve as deep or wax as poetic about a literary work as some other musicians. But Kerli went with her gut and it's fair to say that while"Good Faeries, Bad Faeries" is not a conventional classic, she may be the smartest musician I've talked to so far.
This somehow accidentally got deleted: "When your computer's crashing, it's a bad fairy crashing your computer." Which is sad because it's one of the best parts of the interview lol.

Another woman says Terry Richardson is 'Really Creepy'
Will Terry Richardson become the Tiger Woods of fashion? Where after one woman who feels wronged by him comes forward, fifteen follow? Last week, Rie Rasmussen told the Post that Richardson manipulated young girls into doing nude shoots they'd sooner or later find shameful. This week, another of his subjects comes forward with detailed accounts of what her Terry Richardson experience was like. Jamie Peck writes on The Gloss that she's "not a model, just a vain girl with nice tits who likes to pose for the occasional cheesecake photo." She posed for Richardson when she was 19, and he did not fall into the same category as "all the fine folks I've frolicked au naturel for," she writes. "He's the only one who's left me feeling like I needed to take two showers."
After meeting Richardson at a party, claims Peck, where she posed for him the first time, she went over to his studio for a second shoot. He made her tea, and then she danced around naked while the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album played on repeat and he took her picture. He asked her to call him Uncle Terry, and she did, so as not to seem like a fun spoiler.
All of that was fine, but the second time Peck went over to his studio for a shoot "was the weird one." And then her post starts reading like a Sex Diary:
Before I could say "whoa, whoa, whoa!" dude was wearing only his tattoos and waggling the biggest dick I'd ever seen dangerously close to my unclothed person (granted, I hadn't seen very many yet). "Why don't you take some pictures of me?" he asked. Um, sure.
So his assistants took pictures of me taking pictures of him. All the while, he was dropping names like they were hot, casually mentioning his upcoming Miu Miu shoot with Maggie Gyllenhall [sic] and Billy Crudup, wondering aloud if he could get the kid from Elephant to model, and suggesting I come upstate with him and his fab celebufriends. I wish I could say this didn't impress me, but I was fucking 19 and nerdy as hell, okay?
Peck alleges that he got her to perform sexual favors and offered her a signed print as payment, which she declined to accept since she "felt so gross about the whole thing." She never went back, but she later heard her picture wound up in Purple, which is edited by Richardson's guy Friday, Olivier Zahm.

Kstew & Julianne Moore To Co-Star In Apocalypse Movie
"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart–so good as Joan Jett in "The Runaways" and in "Welcome to the Rileys"– has her next project lined up.
Stewart will co-star with Julianne Moore in "Backwoods." Sources say the film, directed by Moore's husband, Bart Freundlich, concerns the end of the world.
"Backwoods," still to be fully cast, should start sometime this summer. By then, Stewart will be starring in "Twilight:Eclipse."
Freundlich has three features under his belt including a gem called "The Myth of Fingerprints." He also recently directed four episodes of "Californication" for Showtime.
Moore, who was denied an Oscar nomination for her wonderful work in "A Single Man," opens shortly in Atom Egoyan's "Chloe," with Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried.
The menschy Moore also pays a rare visit to her alma mater, the CBS soap "As the World Turns," on April 5th, to help celebrate her fictional parents' (Don Hastings, Kathryn Hays) anniversary and give a nod to the 54 year old soap's scheduled end this fall.
Moore won a Daytime Emmy playing lookalike cousins on the show. She will only play one for the return. What happened to the other one? "I'm not in touch with her," the four time Oscar nominee quipped at the "Chloe" premiere last night in New York.
She says she loved being reunited with her soap family, including 92 year old show matriarch Helen Wagner, who plays her grandmother. "She's still giving us acting tips," Moore recalls.

MacGruber Premieres at SXSW
A hefty-looking Val Kilmer hits the red carpet for a screening of his new movie, MacGruber, at the Paramount Theater during the South By Southwest Film Festival on Monday (March 15) in Austin, Texas.
"The entire script is kind of designed to ruin my career," the 50-year-old actor joked during the MacGruber panel.
FYI: Kilmer plays villain Dieter von Cunth, who steals a nuclear warhead from his sworn enemy, MacGruber (Will Forte).
THR says MacGruber is "utterly disposable but diverting."

"Up In The Air" Tokyo Press Conference – Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick was in Tokyo today to promote her film "Up in the Air".
The actress who's had an amazing awards season, didn't take a style break at this event.
Having worn so many gowns recently she opted for a very simple baby-blue Alberta Ferretti silk bustier dress which she wore with a tan belt.
Her dress is perfect for spring and I just love her Sergio Rossi scalloped slingback pumps which matched her baby blue dress.

One Life to Live's Brett Claywell: The end of Kish
Last December, "One Life to Live" broke new ground when they aired the first gay sex scene in daytime television. You read that right: the soap opera format has been around since people were gathering around their radios, and it took until December of 2009 for a gay couple to do the deed.
Three short months later, the couple in question -- Oliver "Fish" (Scott Evans) and Kyle (Brett Claywell) -- have been written off the show. According to TV Guide, ABC says that the duo "failed to resonate with the mainstream audience," because ratings were "particularly dismal" when Fish came out of the closet.
To say that fans of the couple are upset about Kyle and Fish's abrupt exit would be an understatement. Fans have signed petitions, established the "Save Kish" and "Don't Put Kish in the Closet" campaigns, and even planned a rally outside the "Good Morning America" studios in NYC.
Meanwhile, rumors have spread like wildfire. A Canadian publication printed that Scott Evans and Brett Claywell were let go because of a lack of commitment and too much partying. In a statement, Claywell told Soap Opera Digest "It's so false it's slander. Scott and I were nothing but professional and completely 100 percent dedicated to our work." Otherwise, Evans and Claywell have been quiet about the situation, keeping their comments confined to a handful of tweets.
Tuesday (Mar. 16), Claywell spoke to Zap2it about his experience at "One Life to Live" and the truth behind the layoffs.
So ABC didn't even bother to tell them when they were filming their final scenes?

Mischa Barton was so hungry when she went grocery shopping on Monday night that she dipped into the groceries she was waiting in line to purchase and started eating some cooked pasta.
RadarOnline.com was there and watched Mischa and her hungry friend with amusement. (Hey, we've done the same thing.)
But things took at bad turn when the former O.C. star went to pay for the already-eaten item and her credit card was declined!
So she tried another card and that was declined too.
It all happened at Whole Foods on Fairfax and Crescent Heights and we watched as Mischa searched her purse for cash.
No cash!
We always wondered what would happen in a situation like this. But Mischa's friend quickly bailed her out, taking out his wallet and paying for their groceries. Poor Mischa looked upset and ducked her head.
Don't feel bad Mischa -- we would have paid for you but we had just enough money on us to pay for our groceries!
This is my worst nightmare.

Kendra reveals cocaine past
Opening up about her struggles growing up, Kendra Wilkinson has divulged details of her past in hopes of steering youngsters away from making the same wrong decisions.
During the taping of her E! True Hollywood Story, the 24-year-old beauty delved into her former drug abuse and suicidal thoughts - telling that she fell into the wrong crowd and started experimenting with cocaine at the young age of 13.
She tells, "All of a sudden they broke out this white stuff. I did it, and I started feeling this big ball of chalk going down my throat and I was like 'what is this ****! Ew this is so gross.'. After that I started feeling pretty good. That was the start of my drug days."
With her mother Patti then admitting her into a psychiatric facility at the age of 15, Kendra tells, "It was crazy in that place. A lot of those kids were suicidal like me and we didn't see daylight. We weren't allowed outside. It was basically a jail, but it was a hospital."
Continuing on, the former "Girls Next Door" star tells, "I think it made me worse because in my heart I didn't want to change. People were forcing me, and that's something that does not work with me."
Still hooked on illegal substances while a sophomore in high school, Kendra confesses, "I was still on drugs. I met a guy and I ended up running away with him. All throughout sophomore year I lived with this guy and I did drugs for that long. Every day, every minute."
Fortunately enough, Miss Wilkinson was able to straighten out her life - as she's now a healthy mother and married to football player Hank Baskett.
For those who wish to see Kendra's story, tune into her True Hollywood Story premiering on E! this Wednesday (March 17) at 10PM EST.

Douche King is not leaving the Hills
Contrary to a Monday report, the Hills star is not leaving his hit MTV show to work for the cyber security division at American Defense Enterprise, a source tells UsMagazine.com
"All of that stuff about him leaving The Hills to fight cyber crime is not true," the insider insists.
The real story? "He is leaving The Hills for 6 weeks because he was asked to."
The source explains that Pratt, 26, recently "flipped out" on the show's set after a female producer made a request to which he objected.
"He got so crazy that he screamed at [her], 'I should kill you for even asking me to do that!'" the source recounts.
"Very rattled" by Pratt's outburst, the producer filed a complaint with the show's top producers -- who then threatened to kick Pratt off the show
Pratt's team went back with a compromise: "the show agreed that Spencer would leave The Hills for six weeks to do anger management training once a week at home. If he completes it, he can return to the show."
It was recently announced that Pratt is no longer the manager for his wife, Heidi Montag. This week, Montag, 23, is set to film a cameo in her first feature film, Just Go With It, starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.

Alert Fox News! Mike Huckabee Learns About Health Care From UFC Champion Brock Lesnar!
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is the host of the number one rated HUCKABEE on the Fox News Channel, and is heard three times daily across the nation on ABC Radio Network's The Huckabee Report on the ABC Radio Network. He is the author of 6 books, the most recent being Do The Right Thing, which spent its first 7 weeks of release in the top ten of the New York Times Bestseller list. But when this Republican leader wants to learn a little more about the health care reform gridlock that has all but frozen Washington, DC and the current White House Administration, where does he turn? To Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and Lesnar's former on-air agent in WWE, the Hustler De Tuti Hustlers Paul Heyman!
In a blog posted here (http://radio.mikehuckabee.com/Article.asp?id=1683309&spid=33201), Huckabee wrote:
You know, sometimes you can learn valuable things from the unlikeliest of places. A friend sent me a column by Paul Heyman, a blogger who usually writes about pro wrestling. Heyman got a call from Ultimate Fighting World Champion Brock Lesner, who recently contracted a mysterious illness that nearly killed him. Lesner had been watching the debate on government health care and had something to add. He said he fell ill in Canada, was taken to a Manitoba hospital, and lay around for over 48 hours while doctors tried to track down a spare part to fix their one, broken CT machine. Eventually, his wife bundled him into the car and drove him to a North Dakota hospital, where he got an immediate CT scan, a diagnosis of diverticulitis, and treatment that saved his life. Lesner said he loves the people of Canada, and the hunting, but he wants to tell all Americans: you do not want Canadian-style government-run health care. If it could nearly kill the toughest man in the world, think what it could do to you.

No decisions are likely to be made until the studio delivers screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg's detailed outline to the directors. That should happen sometime next week. Until then we can just wonder how these three very diverse directors will approach Bella's controversial birthing scene."

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick split up!
Britney Spears is back on the dating market, after she and agent
Jason Trawick have split up.
E News reveals that the twosome broke up in February and
were last seen together hitting up a McDonald's on Valentine's Day.
A source said, "They were fighting a lot and have not been
getting along. They both just needed to take a break from each
other. It wasn't working out."
The snitch also reveals that they may get back together and he
is still her agent. But that would explain why he was dissing her
music at Paris Hilton's birthday party.

Programs including From Martha's Kitchen, From Martha's Home and From Martha's Garden, will be aired during this time slot. Other titles in the library, but not yet scheduled, are "Petkeeping with Marc Morrone," early seasons of "Everyday Food," full episodes of "Martha Stewart Living" and assorted Martha Stewart specials. Episodes of the series will also be presented in shorter blocks on Saturdays and Sundays (6 a.m. – 9 a.m. ET/PT) beginning April 3-4.
Gentlemen, please! Rest your sphincters!
Comedy legend Mel Brooks is working on a musical adaptation of his 1974 hit film Blazing Saddles.
The 83-year-old director, screenwriter, actor and producer hopes to follow up the success of his stage adaptations of Young Frankenstein and The Producers.
Young Frankenstein, adapted from his Oscar-nominated 1974 film, opened on Broadway in 2007. It has been on tour since September and opens at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre on Wednesday, where it will run through April 18.
The Producers, Brooks's first feature film about two theatrical partners (Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder) who deliberately contrive the worst possible Broadway show, received an Oscar in 1968 for best original screenplay.
Brooks later turned it into a musical, which opened on Broadway in 2001, ran for 2,502 performances and received an unprecedented 12 Tony awards.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Brooks said he has written two songs for a stage version of Blazing Saddles and is working on a third.
He said the show would explore racial prejudice, just as the film starring Wilder did, and it could be finished in the next year.
But he says Broadway may not be its first stop.
"If I did it, I wouldn't rush to New York with it because the Times would say, 'Oh dear, oh dear, another movie converted and transmogrified into a musical," he said. "The Times was only lukewarm to Young Frankenstein, but you know, everybody else was hot — some of the greatest reviews I ever got."
And although he's unsure of this show's fate, he's certain he'll continue writing for the stage in one capacity or another.
"Film takes an eternity — it takes an eternity," he said. "And there are, like, infinite collaborations, which waters down anything. But the stage is ... you throw your naked heart on the stage and they respond to it or not, and it's immediate."
I don't know anything about Broadway so I liked Young Frankenstein even though everyone said it wasn't good. But whatever, I love this man and his comedy. I LOL IRL on the daily thinking about scenes from Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein.

Gaga - the new queen of pop? Telephone director thinks she has the potential
Jonas Åkerlund has collaborated with Madonna, including on her "Ray of Light" and "Music" videos. Most recently, he worked with Lady Gaga on two of her videos: "Paparazzi" and "Telephone." Given the obvious comparisons between the two ambitious blondes, is it inevitable that Gaga should one day take over Madge's pop throne?
"I really don't like to compare the artists that I work with, because they are all so unique and so different," he told MTV News about the Gaga/Madonna similarities. "One thing for sure is that Gaga is a true artist. She's really a huge talent, and she's such a hard worker. That makes me think of Madonna, because Madonna is always such a hard worker, more than anybody else."

It's Official: The CW hates minorities
The third main character on the CW's changeling pilot Betwixt is now known.
Josh Henderson (The Girl Next Door) will be playing "Nix," a character who sees a halo of light around someone who is about to die. He joins the previously-cast Allison Miller (Celine) and Jessy Schram (Morgan) as well as 7th Heaven's David Gallagher, who plays "Bleek."
I'm kinda not happy with this casting. Nix in the book was Native American. I was hoping for one of the hot boys from New Moon. And the CW cast another good looking white guy. :O

The Dude talks about Tron Legacy
There aren't a lot of film properties that sort of crack through the veneer of my professionalism as a journalist – that tap into the fanboy hidden behind the film critic - but Tron is one of them. Since Tron: Legacy was announced two years ago, Joe Kosinski's follow-up to Steven Lisberger's groundbreaking 1982 computer-generated adventure has become the film whose release I've anticipated most, and as each new image, clip or piece of viral marketing was unveiled, my excitement continues to grow. The fact that each of these new pieces of the puzzle is beautiful and interesting only fuels my interest further – which is, of course, what distributor Disney is counting on to help propel the film to box office success when it's released on December 17, 2010.
Last summer, Disney offered an invitation to a limited number of reporters to visit the Vancouver set of Tron: Legacy, interview members of the cast and crew, and see how the production is progressing. I was lucky enough to be Cinematical's representative, and suffice it to say I was thrilled to get a chance to check out what was in store for the film. Before we actually visited the set proper, however, we spoke to none other than the star of both the original Tron and Tron: Legacy, Jeff Bridges. The man who would be Flynn gamely answered our nerdy inquiries and revealed what he could about the challenges of taking the franchise and rebooting it, in more ways than one.

"TikTok Star" Noah Beck's Calvin Klein Underwear Photos Go Viral And I've Never Been Dryer
Why is he graying? I'm not averse to it because he's rocking it, but how old is Percy?


It has been two years since the Shift-when most technology stopped working, and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the aelves. Among other guesses, predatory aliens seem as good as any other theory for what caused the Shift. But for Noah, everything else takes second place to survival, sometimes even self-respect...?r any sort of decency. Lawless, post-apocalypse America had forced Noah to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly. However, despite hating himself, he doesn't have the strength or the courage to change. He will get a lucky break in a big way, though-a mysterious orb with otherworldly power. In time, perhaps Noah will find another path. And if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won't be the end of his story. Sometimes, another chance can be an opportunity for redemption.

Mascara is an unmissable product in the fast-growing eye makeup segment. Lash volume, length and curl have been staples of mascara performance requirements, with long-wear and flake- and smudge-proof claims becoming "must-haves" with any mascara launch.
To maintain innovation in this market, cosmetic companies must differentiate—this has led to a rise in sensory and novel effect claims. Above all, the performance of the formulation can only be fully expressed with an adapted and compatible brush.
Thus, the challenge for the formulation chemist is to deliver these innovative performances while still maintaining the mascara must-haves, which in some cases can be contradictory.
This paper describes how a formulator can introduce ingredients to create innovative and stable mascara formulations with the right brush, in order to obtain novel performance and claims. While washable mascaras are the primary focus of the present piece, some of the tips presented may be applicable to waterproof formulations.
Nearly every cosmetic formulator knows if there is one product that requires specific formulation expertise, it is mascara. It is one of the most complex formulas to develop, one of the most-researched products, and it has some of the highest consumer expectations to meet.
Its first goal is to make eyelashes appear thicker, longer and darker, with enhanced curl. It must be applied easily and precisely, almost on-the-go, by a tool that determines it performance. It should also dry quickly and impart the correct effects without lumps; be long-wearing without smudging or flaking during the day; and remain easy to remove at night.
Finally, the product is applied around a very sensitive area, the eye, which means perfect tolerance is needed without any risk of toxicity, irritation or allergy. In developing this product, formulators attempt to create a homogeneous film that will resist tears and mechanical movement, and that can be used by lens wearers.
Mascaras are one of the most-loved products, used by 59% of female consumers.1 And while purchasers expect any mascara launched to impart long-wear, flake and smudge-proof properties, new claims have emerged in the market, including: creamy-like, serum-like, spiky, manga eyes, cat or butterfly eyes, super curl, doll-effect lashes, glossy effect, or pitch-black look.
As a formulator, the challenge is to combine these sometimes contradictory claims with mascara's must-haves and a perfect brush. As such, sensory, stability and performance are the main areas of focus to create innovative and high-performing mascaras.
Volume, length and curl have been staples of mascara performance, with long-wear and flake and smudge-proof claims becoming 'must-haves' with any mascara launch.
Mascaras can either be washable, most commonly oil/wax-in-water emulsions, or waterproof, i.e, solvent-based anhydrous systems. Both contain a pigment phase as well as waxes, emollients and preservatives. The washable type also contains an aqueous phase; see Figure 1 for the general components of washable mascaras.
The production of a washable mascara is a hot-process emulsification: the aqueous phase is heated to around 80-85°C; the pigments are milled in the external aqueous phase; then the wax phase, also at 80-85°C, is added to the aqueous phase. After emulsification and cooling, film-formers, preservatives, actives, fibers or other ingredients can be included for added performance.
The final effect results when, after application with a specific brush, the water and humectants dry on the lashes, leaving a film formed by gelling agents, film-formers and waxes.
Neutralizing system (in the aqueous phase): Neutralizing ingredients are dispersed in the aqueous phase to create the emulsion; the neutralizing system has a big impact on stability, viscosity and performance of the product; namely its volume or flaking properties. Common neutralizing ingredients are triethanolamine, tromethamine, aminomethyl propanediol, glucamine and arginine; note that some may release nitrosamines, which can provoke safety issues. The neutralizing system also influences the mascara's pH, which must be within 7.5-8.5 since it is applied around the eye area.
The oil/wax phase makes up approximately 35% of the formula.
Waxes: The wax blend is key to create the mascara's desired texture and makeup effect. It can be controlled by optimizing the quantity of each component and by choosing the melting and solidification temperatures of each, which defines the viscosity and rheology.
Volume is obtained by increasing the thickness of the product film applied to the lashes. Essentially, a volumizing mascara requires waxes with quite low melting points, which can provide adhesion and sheath the lashes. A wax dispersion can also be used as a film-former to provide lightweight volume.
Mascaras can either be washable, most commonly oil/wax-in-water emulsions, or waterproof, i.e, solvent-based anhydrous systems. Both contain a pigment phase as well as waxes, emollients and preservatives. The washable type also contains an aqueous phase.


GeneratePress 2.1 has been released!
Font Awesome will no longer be updated in GeneratePress as of 2.1. If you have Font Awesome enabled on your site, it will continue to work as normal. If it's deactivated, the "Load essential icons" option in the Customizer will no longer be visible.
Instead of using Font Awesome within the theme, we suggest using a plugin like Better Font Awesome.
If you'd like to learn how to add Font Awesome 5 yourself, please see this article.
Instead of using Font Awesome for our theme icons, we had brand new custom icons created specifically for GeneratePress. These icons are more modern than the previous Font Awesome 4 icons.
Huge thanks to Peter and Paul from The Dickiebirds Studio for designing these for us!
We were able to optimize and move things around, which resulted in 2 fewer HTTP requests. This means when you first install GeneratePress, there's only 5 HTTP requests (3 CSS, 2 JS).
We cleaned up style.css a bit, and removed any Secondary Navigation specific CSS, which was added to GP Premium 1.6. If you're using the Secondary Navigation and don't have GPP 1.6, open a support topic and we'll provide the necessary CSS for you.
We also removed a couple wildcard selectors, which were a little greedy and causing some weirdness with some plugins. More specific selectors are now used, which will reduce conflicts.
The updated date HTML has been moved in front of the published date HTML, which should help Google pick up on it easier. It also makes it easier to display the updated date instead of the published date.
The mobile menu CSS has been simplified, which will make it much easier to initiate the mobile menu at a different width than the default.
Is there a page where we can see or download the new Generate-press font?
Thanks, I use generatepress and GPP on all the sites I have ..
'%1$s', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
Is it still needed or the theme now has functionality to display the Last Updated date by itself?
Sorry for asking but I'm not a technical person 🙂 Where do I add the CSS to show the Last Updated date?
Any docl to using new generatepress icons?
They aren't really supposed to be used within your content. They only exist for a few specific theme elements. If you need icons for your content, we suggest Font Awesome. You can also build your own font icons using a tool like IcoMoon.
Thanks Tom, I'm enjoying GP!
I've read in previous forum topics that having the site title in the sticky navigation would become a native feature of GP. What's the status here?
That's still something I'd like to do in GP Premium. It's easier said than done because of line height issues, but it's on our radar.
Hi! After update to 2.1. my slide-out navigation icon is gone… what to do?
Can you open a support topic?

Q: AVQueuePlayer playback without gap and freeze I use AVQueuePlayer to play a sequence of movies which are loaded from URLs.
I tried to initialize player instance with array of all AVPlayerItems that I need to play.
player = [[AVQueuePlayer queuePlayerWithItems:playerItemsArray]

But in this case AVQueuePlayer loads some initial part of each AVPlayerItem before starting playback. It causes frustrating freeze and application doesn't respond for some seconds.
There is possibility to add only first AVPLayerItem to player's queue, observe its state and add second item in queue only when first will reach end, but in this case there will be a gap between playback of two items caused by initializing and buffering of second AVPlayerItem.
Is there any way to organize gapless playback of several videos without a freeze?
Should I use some other player for this purposes?
Thanks in advance.

A: in Swift 2, working here:
func load() {
     let player = AVQueuePlayer()
     for url in urls {
        makeItem(url)
    }
}

func makeItem(url: String) {
    let avAsset = AVURLAsset(URL: NSURL(string: url)!)

    avAsset.loadValuesAsynchronouslyForKeys(["playable", "tracks", "duration"], completionHandler: {
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
            self.enqueue(avAsset: avAsset)
        })
    })
}

func enqueue(avAsset: AVURLAsset) {
    let item = AVPlayerItem(asset: avAsset)
    self.player.insertItem(item, afterItem: nil)
}

A: The solution is found.
When adding new AVPlayerItem in queue of AVQueuePlayer player will synchronously wait till initial part of player item will be buffered.
So in this case player item should be buffered asynchronously and after that it can be added in the queue. It can be done using [AVURLAsset loadValuesAsynchronouslyForKeys: completionHandler:]
For example:
AVURLAsset *asset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:url options:nil];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"playable"];

[asset loadValuesAsynchronouslyForKeys:keys completionHandler:^()
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
    {
        AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [[[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithAsset:asset] autorelease];
        [player insertItem:playerItem afterItem:nil];
    });

}];

Using this solution queue of AVQueuePlayer can be populated with items without any gaps and freezes.

A: Here is solution.
- (void)_makePlayer{
     _player = [[AVQueuePlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:[AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:[SSMoviePreviewItemMaker generateAVMovieItem]]];
}

+ (AVAsset *)generateAVMovieItem{
    NSArray * array = [SSMovieFileManager getAllMovieResourceURL];
    AVMutableComposition *composition = [[AVMutableComposition alloc] init];
    for (int i = 0; i < array.count; i++) {
        AVURLAsset *asset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:array[i] options:nil];
        [composition insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, asset.duration)
                             ofAsset:asset
                              atTime:composition.duration error:nil];

    }
   return composition;
}

Entertainer Cyril, 80, has the X Factor
PUBLISHED: 17:38 25 June 2008 | UPDATED: 10:54 08 July 2010
X-factor contestant Cyril Grant from Swaffham describes himself as a one-man show.
At 80, you would find it hard to take his word. But listen to his Bob Marley impressions or watch him shake a leg and you will change your mind.
For the former carpenter is an artist at heart, playing no less than five instruments, four of which he has acquired by himself, sings, dances and entertains.
Bursting with energy, he signed up to X-factor earlier this year, passing the first three preliminary auditions and impressing the official jury, not least of all, the harsh Simon Cowell.
"I aim for the top, nothing more nothing less," he says.
"When I went in for the audition and sang the first bars of 'Hey, good lookin'' everybody started to cheer and clap their hands.
"I also sang Route 66 for Simon and the rest of the jury. They asked how old I was and when I told them I was 80 they wanted to know my secret. I said I have two pieces of Weetabix every day.
Mr Grant arrived from his native Guyana in 1954, finding a job in a saw factory in London. But it was also in London that he first learned to play the saxophone and started performing in clubs and pubs.
"My all-time love is singing. I was first taught to play the saxophone in Camden Town and then I moved on to play in clubs and pubs in London and then all over the country and Ireland. Just a few months before I retired my wife insisted we move to Swaffham where our daughter and her family were. So we came down here.
"Since then, I've been playing and singing every week and when I had my birthday people at one of the clubs in town arranged some celebrations for me. I also had quite a few matinees at the Queen's Hall in Watton."
Mr Grant said he was visiting Ireland once when friends asked him to sing the Irish anthem.
"There are two versions in English and Gaelic," he said. "I chose to sing it in Gaelic. You could see people's tears streaming down their faces. It was very touching."
He added: "I miss performing very much. I have been watching X-factor for a long time. So when people in Swaffham suggested I sign up, it didn't take me long to go to London, put my name down and pass the first auditions. I'm now waiting for my next round, probably in July. I've always sung and performed all my life. I have no problem going out there and putting on a show. It's dead easy."
