Superman/Batman - Public Enemies!

2009-07-22T16:03:00.001-07:00

Warner Premiere, the direct to dvd brand of Warner Home Video, will continue their extremely popular "DC Universe" animated PG-13 films with "Superman/Batman - Public Enemies". Based on the popular Jeph Loeb/Ed Mcguiness series and graphic novel.

The story basically follows Superman and Batman being hunted by Heroes and Villains alike after Luthor (Now U.S President) convinces the public a kryptonite asteroid headed for earth is Superman's fault. Should be pretty exciting.

The biggest news about this film is that Tim Daly, Kevin Conroy and Clancy Brown are reprising the voices made famous for the roles they played originally in the Animated series for each character.

Michael Jackson - "This Is It" London Tour Announcement

2009-03-05T12:30:00.000-08:00

Michael Jackson held a press conference in London today, announcing a string of London shows at London's 02 Arena this July.

In the clip, Jackson mentions repeatedly how "This is it!" literally. And will be his final performances in London, as to what he referred "The Final Curtain Call".

I am actually taken aback by this a bit, Michael does seem coherent and normal(for his standards at least). I almost started believing this was an actor dressed up like him for the event...His nose looks new. lol.

Enjoy! This should be an interesting show.

Britney Week Video #4 - Im a Slave 4 U

2009-03-04T17:44:00.000-08:00

Im a Slave 4 U - 2001 Billboard Music Awards (Live at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, NV)

While the best televised "Slave" performances are definitely the highly costumed and themed "Dream within a Dream" and "VMA 2001(with the snake)" the Bellagio one is still great in it's own right because it reminds us that Britney always does something unique.

This performance focuses almost exclusively on the dancing in the center of this lake with the massive spouts of water timed to the music.

Basically, while we love Britney in her overthemed spectacles, the girl has enough charm to keep entertained even when you strip that all away.

And we all know how much she likes to strip...;-)

Everytime - (Live at the ABC "In Th Zone" Special 2004)

For some reason I have really grown to love this song alot over the last couple years. It was Britney's first song she ever wrote, and it has a haunting lullaby feel to it. It's so simple and effective.

"My weakness caused you pain, and this song's my sorry" - Few times has Brit ever been that honest.

GaGa's "Fame Ball" Gives her the chance to "Own the Stage"

2009-03-04T16:06:00.000-08:00

After opening stints for pals like New Kids on the Block and the Pussycat Dolls and a No. 1 single of her own ("Just Dance"), Lady GaGa is ready to show what she can do as a headliner.

"I am so mental and sleepless and excited for this tour," the Los Angeles-based singer tells Billboard.com about the 23-date Fame Ball Tour, which kicks off March 12 at the San Diego House of Blues and wraps April 11 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.

"This is so different than anything you've seen from me in the past year. What's fantastic about (the show) was I was able to plan it while I was on another tour that was on a much smaller scale, opening for the Dolls. This is going to be, like, the ultimate creative orgasm for me 'cause I'm ready to move on. I'm not restricted to a certain structure for my show anymore. No limitations. I'm free."

GaGa says she's still "looking at sketches that are sprawled out all over my kitchen table" for staging ideas, and she's particularly happy that "I get the ability to design things and use props and stage design technology that I've been unable to use before. And I get to orchestrate my music in a different way."

GaGa is also preparing three versions of the show, tailored to the different sizes of venues she's playing. "I want to have a clear schedule of the dimensions for each venue so that we can properly execute all the technology and visuals," she says. "I need to mentally prepare days in advance if things are going to be taken out; otherwise, I won't have a good show." But, she quickly adds, "Every show's gonna be an A show by the time I'm done screaming at everyone -- 'Hang it! Hang everything! Find a place to hang it!' That's gonna be my motto."

The repertoire will of course draw heavily from her 2008 debut album "The Fame," which is approaching gold certification in the U.S. (and is double platinum in Canada and Australia). "Fashion," an older song that appears on the soundtrack to "Confessions of a Shopaholic," is also in consideration, and GaGa hints that "there might be something new" from her most recent spate of songwriting.

"I'm writing now while I've got two records ('Just Dance' and 'Poker Face') in the Top 10," she says. "It's good for my creativity...and I also think it's not smart to wait until the world is hovered with breath that is baited and you feel the pressure. I'd rather just write...while I'm only a couple singles deep into my album and still feeling creative."

Cannot wait!

Farrell and Knightley heading to "London Boulevard"

2009-01-22T13:40:00.000-08:00

Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell are set to star in "London Boulevard", a 1950's crime drama that marks the directing debut of The Departed screenwriter William Monahan. The film is based on the Ken Bruen novel, which Monahan adapted.

The novel is loosely based on the film "Sunset Boulevard".

The film will shoot this summer in and around London.

Farrell,(who just won the Golden Globe for In Bruges) will play a South London criminal who, after release from prison, tries to give up the gangster life by becoming a handyman for a reclusive young actress to be played by Keira Knightley.

Knightley reportedly first read the screenplay and said: "This could have been me if I'd let the madness of fame and celebrity get to me."

IMG - New Disney/Pixar "Up" Poster

But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 9-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell.

Mandatory Helvetica

2009-01-21T15:12:00.000-08:00

So while searching through many design blogs, I somehow ended up in a great article dubbed "Why is Helvetica so Popular?".

The article is of course talking about the font that is wildly used almost everywhere from retail packaging to ad campaigns across the globe.

The article was a great read and I recommend anybody who has an appreciation for design and how something so simple as a font choice can change the entire view and aesthetic of how we perceive an item/object to check it out.

Pepsi = "Optimism"

2008-12-31T11:40:00.000-08:00

Click image for larger view
Pepsi has gone and done something pretty bold and initiated a complete overhaul of the "PepsiCo" brand family.

Many people dont know that soft drink sales continue to drop every year as the U.S and the rest of the world move away from carbonated beverages. so to fight this downturn Pepsi has decided now is the perfect time to "Refresh Everything".

I gotta say while the rest of the internet community is hating on the designs, I like them. I think the plan to alter such an iconic logo is bold and sometimes a step in the right direction means looking beyond iconic status and being able to evolve when the need is there.

Pepsi has been lagging behind Coca Cola for the last couple of years as opposed to the 90's and early 2000's when Pepsi was in full force.

The new "smile" is a nice twist on the classic "wave" logo and the clean simple modern lines are exactly what the world is in right now. They say they want to tap smart youth with this look at it indeed is very unassuming and conversational enough to fit that description.

We will see where this takes them.

Before Kill the Lights...it was a Blackout.

2008-12-10T18:05:00.000-08:00

Yes we know this cover is hideous...whatever move on
While the rest of the world marvels over "Circus" selling over 500+ thousand copies to become #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts...

"Blackout" Brtiney's previous album that was released October 2007, has re entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 198 (no doubt thanks to the "Britney Boost" from Circus' release). Selling 5,000 copies just last week.

"Blackout" was infinitely a better album than "Circus". Blackout showed Britney working with cutting edge producers willing to push her into a edgier sexier experimental place, while "Circus" has Britney running back to a safer sound of old more akin to "Oops I did it again" era music.

For all you "Blackout" Lovers out there..expect to see many songs from that album performed on "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" this coming March when it launches. Britney herself has stated she cant wait to support songs from that album so it will "feel like tons of new material" on tour.

For those of you who havent purchased "Blackout"...go get it. It's 9.99 somewhere in the world. The whole album flows and you never wanna skip a track, it will keep you moving.

Twilight's "New Moon" looking grim...

2008-12-10T11:32:00.000-08:00

So I'm sure everyone has seen or heard about the infamous "Twlight". The vampire movie that came out of nowhere and became one of the biggest phenomenons of 2008.

Well the movie was such a success that the studio Summit Entertainment is moving the sequel "New Moon" on the fast track.

"New Moon" has officially been given the release date of November 20Th 2009.

That's right...2009. Filming is set to begin in March 2009 and Pre-Production is already underway in Vancouver. Now here is where it gets tricky.

"Twlight" Director Catherine Hardwicke will not be returning to the newly minted franchise, early last week when the news broke many news magazines believed it to be because she and the studio were at odds on the set of "Twlight" and that Hardwicke was "difficult".

But in a joint statement this week, Summit and Hardwicke announced that she would not be returning because her schedule just does not allow for her to return to "New Moon".

Many believed this to be a paycheck cover up, but given all the news that has broken since with the release date, one cant help but notice that Hardwicke is stepping away from a hectic next year because of a studio that seems determined to get every last penny from the franchise, regardless of the what affect it has on the films.

New Reports speculate that the film has been offered to Chris Weitz ,Director of "American Pie"and last years "The Golden Compass". Make with that news what you will.

New rumors circulating as well reveal that the actor who plays "Jacob"(Taylor Lautner),the native American best friend of the heroine "Bella"(played by Kristin Stewart) may be recast for an older looking actor. In the sequel story "New Moon" Jacob and Bella develop a strong bond and relationship while Edward(played by Robert Pattinson)is away. Many fans consider Bella and Jacob's storyline just as integral as that of hers with Edward.

As a person with great love for films and screenwriting, all of these developments place a dark cloud over the new "Twlight" franchise. We will see where all this develops and hopefully for the studio they don't make a wrong move, because Twlight has spawned up to 3 sequels. That equals to lots of money.

And for the record I HAVE YET TO SEE TWLIGHT.

DisneyXD - The New MouseHouse Channel Geared to Boys

2008-12-08T13:53:00.000-08:00

Here are some preview images of two of the Disney Channel Original Series set to premiere on Disney's new boy targeted network DisneyXD...

DisneyXD is set to replace ToonDisney come this February I believe, when the network launches.

Here you get a good look at the Logo being used and a brief description on the series' Aaron Stone and Zeke and Luther.

The Channel will feature programming geared towards boys so expect Power Rangers, Gargoyles,Batman/Superman...etc.

Disney has taken alot of criticism from the online fandom because once upon a time Disney Channel was accepted by both boys and girls but they have allowed for it to become predominantly geared for girls with Hannah Montana/Lizzie Mcguire/High School Musical/Camp Rock...etc.

Well see where this goes...I for one hope DisneyXD manages a good supernatural show in the vein of "So Weird".

+ - Darin - Flashback

2008-12-05T17:58:00.000-08:00

So recently I stumbled on this Swedish artist named Darin.The song is called "Breathing Your Love" it features Kat DeLuna and is ridiculously catchy. If this song was released in America it would totally be on the Top 10 of the Hot100.

Darin is a successful artist in Europe, where all 3 of his current albums have debuted at Number 1. He is also known as the runner up on "Swedish Idol" in 2004. Darin has also worked with many famous producers and artists such Max Martin (of "Baby One More Time" fame) and Robyn. Current star import Leona Lewis even covered one of his songs Homeless, on her album.

Here is a link to his new album "Flashback" that I can best describe as "Dance midtempo pop tracks with a vintage timberlake sensibility". Its full of club bangers and epic ballads.

Upon first listen the album sounds like filler but as I played it more and more...the whole album becomes quite addicting.

The album is also produced by RedOne, the same person behind Lady Gaga's pop dance tracks.

Standout Tracks
1.Breathing Your Love ft Kat DeLuna
2.Road Trip
3.Karma
4.Strobelight
5.Girl Next Door(which is like Just Dance's male counterpart)
6.Paradise

Im going to be honest...it was very difficult to just pick those six. The album is that good.

You need to hear this.

I am not one for nature films really, but yesterday when I popped in my "Prince Caspian" DVD I was surprised by this trailer for a film simply titled "Earth" by a new division Disney has create titled "DisneyNature".

The imagery from "Earth" looks breathtaking and the trailer is perfectly edited in that "epic film" style.

Check out it for yourself. And like the trailer will let you know...expect it in theaters on Earth Day 2009.

More "Hannah Montana" and "Suite Life" for Disney Channel

2008-12-03T11:15:00.000-08:00

Disney Channel has just announced that they have ordered 20 more episodes for their hit series "Hannah Montana" and 13 more episodes for the freshmen sequel series "The Suite Life on Deck".

"Montana" is currently in her third season over at the House of Mouse and "Suite Life" will be heading into it's second season.

This is pretty expected from Disney considering that "Hannah Montana" blew up in it's second season. They are definitely looking for ways to stretch out the shows popularity.

Disney has actually done this before with "Thats So Raven" which became the first DC series to ever go beyond the standard quota of 65 episodes they would place on all it's original programming.

I wonder if Miley Cyrus is happy about this since reports earlier this year stated she wanted out of the "Hannah" game already?

Disney is also getting ready to release "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in which the pop star will return to her Nashville hometown. That is currently scheduled for April 2009.

Looking Ahead...

2008-12-03T11:07:00.000-08:00

Okay so I've been dealing with many changes at work(GOT PROMOTED! WOOT WOOT!)and the struggles that come with it such as a new schedule and higher work volume so I have been neglecting the blog a bit.

In the time away I have also been thinking of adding a couple elements to the blog that make it more than just a celebrity/music/fashion blogger. I want to add aspects to the blog that give it some creativity, some heart and maybe a little bit more of a personal touch.

I still havent really come up with what I am going to add, but soon I will move forward on those changes.

In the meantime, stick around...because were looking ahead.

This is the first English single from Korean pop artist,BoA. "Eat You Up" is a great electric dance pop number produced by Bloodshy and Avant (The same duo responsible for Britney Spears' hit songs "Toxic" and "Radar").

It took me a good while to warm up to the track, just because that is how most pop is, but after a good while the infectiousness of the chorus and beat begin to pulsate in your head.

I think you guys will love it!

Google Chrome

2008-11-09T22:21:00.000-08:00

So I just started using Google Chrome. The new browser developed by the gods of the internet, Google.

Google is pretty much the center of my online experience, so I figured i would give "Chrome" a chance.

And.....Chrome is pretty fantastic!

Instantly you will notice how incredibly fast it is on websites...like lightning,seriously.

Thanks to Google Dev Team's from the ground up new "V8 Javascript Engine" that eliminates all the excess of websites under the hood and processes it all speedy for our enjoyment.

The look of Chrome is very nice, like all of Google's apps.

The interface is usually referred to as the "Sandbox" since it all is housed within.

It is tabbed browsing, and the address bar acts as a google search bar as well, so as you type it will recommend the most searched just like www.google.com. It also creates a "Most Viewed Web Pages" kind of photo listing, everytime you click open a new tab. Tabs can be lifted off the browser and made an individual window.

Downloads appear as a transparent bar at the bottom with the option to open it on the spot or open the folder it's housed in.

It also features a mode known as "Incognito Mode" which whenever you enter it, you can visit any sites you wish within the window and Chrome will not record any of it in the history or even save a cookie for it.

Chrome is still in BETA, so I'm sure it has a ton of bugs, but on the surface and after 4 hours of usage, none have made themselves noticeable. Definitely test it out and let your life become a little bit easier (again) thanks to the help of Google.

It's any day now before Google announces some sort of internet photo editing/photo shop like program...i can dream cant i?

Madonna Ft Britney Spears - Human Nature Live

2008-11-09T17:35:00.000-08:00

So it's not a big secret that Britney Spears has been making cameos all fall on Madonna's "Sweet and Sticky Tour" via the music video images that play in the background of her performance. Well last week Britney appeared in person joining with Madonna for a brief cameo.

Britney looked awesome...you could definitely tell she was nervous tho, this was probably the largest crowd she has been in front of since the Video Music Awards (and that was nothing compared to a packed Dodgers Stadium at "Sweet and Sticky".

But this is some great practice for whats to come, she has a performance set for Xfactor in the UK and Star Academy in France at the end of Nov. And then Good Morning America on Dec.2, the day her new album "Circus" drops, coinciding with her 27th birthday.

btw Madonna sounds drunk..but you gotta love the "She's not your bitch!" part.

Lady Gaga - Poker Face Music Video

2008-10-21T22:29:00.000-07:00

Lady Gaga's official second single is supposed to be "Beautiful Dirty Rich" but I have a strong feeling that her label has decided to instead just move forward to the third single which is known to be "Poker Face", the best song on her album.

Here you have some caps from her music video to "Poker Face". Unfortunately the person who uploaded it removed the embed option, so to watch it just click below.

I cant get enough of her, she is just awesome. She has a style all her own.

I gotta say I have recently been on the "Anti Jonas Mania" Bandwagon, and especially was not feeling "Lovebug" their second single from recent album "A little bit longer". BUT this video is great and very refreshing, to the point where i know it will make me warm up to the song.

808's and Heartbreak - No Hip-Hop!

2008-10-20T11:47:00.000-07:00

Confirmed via Rolling Stone preview of Kanye West's new album "808s and Heartbreak", the album will not feature any "Hip Hop or Rapping" like his previous songs he is known for.

Rolling Stone who were given a preview and they said "All vocals were sung and treated with the electro "auto-tune" effect. But there was no rapping or overt sampling, just emotional waves of electronic sound, beats and occasional strings."

This is some great news! I am in the minority of people that believe that the music Kanye West is putting out right now is the best stuff he has ever made.

His new tracks are so emotional and illusion like. They are almost out of body ish. He is heading in the right direction, and i can tell this is the case because mainstream american radio and fans are pushing against it, while he becomes more liked by the electronic world crowd.

That is some promising moves for Kanye West, as we should all know america's musical influence is severly lacking and one track.

check out this quote when Kanye was asked about the negativity towards "808'"

"It's from my heart. I don't give a fuck if someone rates it 'hot' or 'not'. I’m here to bring positivity that cannot be judged," he said at the album preview. "It's like judging a grandmother's love, and someone says 'Your grandmother gets two and a half mics.' Or, 'Your grandmother didn't sell a million the first week'."

This should be awesome!

Someone needs to tell Beyonce to stop being her mom and get back to making raw songs in the jungle with sean paul.

These pics for her album cover are sooo bland. The exposure on that black and white looks awful. What happened to her? She had a pretty decent thing developing in "B'Day" and this is what we get now? "Sasha Fierce" her infamous alter ego?

Lame.

Welcome to 3 years ago Beyonce.

BTW just for some laughs...look at what an anonymous beyonce fan posted over at Jonny Ali in regards to "Sasha Fierce"

+ - Keri Hilson New Single - Return the Favor (Mp3 + Video Sneek Peek)

2008-10-17T09:23:00.000-07:00

Okay so many people are sadly probably still saying to themselves "Who is Keri Hilson?". Easiest way to describe her is "That raw bitch from Way I Are", but Keri Hilson is soo much more than that. She is a songwriter who has written hits for just about everyone including Britney Spears (Gimme More).She is an awesome singer and has songs that are infectious and original.

The world needs to embrace Keri Hilson. Her first single from her album "In a Perfect World" was called Energy. It didnt exactly chart very well on the Hot 100, but the song and music video got regular rotation in the clubs and MTV.

So now to try to get that "limelight" status, they are releasing a song of hers that features good ole Timbo. The song is called "Return the Favor".

Im actually posting for you guys the :Original Version: which featured some extra vocals and a much better chorus than the official version which is set to hit the radio and music video, so consider this a treat!

Keri Hilson - Return the Favor

I anticipate the song will be big, just because Ihave immense faith in Keri. She deserves it.

Also here is a sneek peek at the Music Video! It looks like it's going to be slick as F**k(just what she needs)

And as always...cover made by me.

Janet Jackson is back to "Rock Witchu"

2008-10-16T22:39:00.000-07:00

Janet Jackson has FINALLY begun her "Rock Withcu Tour" again after cancelling nearly a months worth of dates (including my own on Oct.7th in Ft Lauderdale).

Jackson took to the stage of the Verizon Center in Washington,D.C and apparently nearly cried at the end of song "Together Again". The camera zoomed in to Janet and her eyes welled up and all you heard was "I LOVE you soo much D.C...".

The song which was originally made for friends who died of AIDS, took on a new meaning as it was her first time back on stage since it was revealed that she was suffering from Vertigo related Migraines.

Jackson's team is saying "She feels much better and was determined to get back on the road and finish the tour"

Camp Jackson states that the cancelled dates are currently in the works of being rescheduled.

Cant wait till mine is!

Dreamworks SKG has struck a deal that brings the company founded by Steven Spielberg to Universal Studios.

Under the deal, Universal Studios will release six Dreamworks Films a year, and the deal is for seven years.

Spielberg has actually operated from the Universal Lot since 1967, so he was quoted as saying that when he walked in Monday morning "He felt less like a squatter".

Spielberg said he "Ultimately chose familiarity" when asked about the offer made by The Walt Disney Company.

The Walsh Twins are back in the "90210" Zip

2008-10-08T16:51:00.000-07:00

Looks like Brenda...and Brandon, are both headed back to the "90210".

Shannen Doherty has apparently agreed to return later in the season for atleast 2 more Episodes and Jason Priestley will return to the new "90210" but will NOT be appearing.

Instead He will be directing an episode, later in the season as well(sources claim it to be Episode 18).

A CW Rep has already confirmed the news, and Gabe Sachs aka Executive Producer says "It should be fun to see him direct some of his former cast mates, we will see where it goes"

My take on it is...Priestley will return to direct to get a vibe for the set and if it's somewhere he wants to be at again in his life, and if he is feeling it, when they ask him to return on camera maybe by the finale or by Season 2, he will be more up to it.

And as for Doherty, I predict she will join the show either by the end of Season One as a regular recurring character or by Season 2 Premiere next fall.She is definitely a HUGe draw for them, and managed to make her storyline and time on the show very interesting and suitable for her character. Shannen did a great job and im sure they will def want her back full time.

The Boy Wonder headed to The CW

2008-10-02T14:05:00.000-07:00

Looks like The CW is looking ahead for a replacement to their sinking ship "Smallville" which is said to be on it's final season (more than likely). So they are taking a stab one more time at the "Batman" franchise (previously The WB attempted a series based on Batman universe called "Birds of Prey" which only lasted half a season back in 2002) one more time. This time they are eyeing Batman's sidekick Dick Grayson aka Robin.

No word on what part of his origin they are planning on telling, but it will take place before he meets Batman.

Initially i thought this was going to be horrible, but imagine a Robin show where you fall in love with his family only to know that one day they will all die and he will then be alone? That makes for some excellent tv if done correctly.

The show will be produced by Warner Bros Studios and Wonderland Sound and Vision which is the production company owned by McG, Director of "Charlie's Angels" Films and The new "Terminator:Salvation" Starring Christian Bale.

It currently has a pilot commitment, beyond that we have to wait and see, since a pilot does not always guarentee a show. CW previously wanted an Aquaman show titled "Mercy Reef" which only received a pilot. Justin Hartley who played Aquaman in the pilot, eventually joined "Smallville" as Green Arrow.

So apparently PCD is sooo desperate for this album to sell, Amazon and Interscope have agreed to sell "Doll Domination" for 2.99 for the next two days, till Sep.30th.

I dont know anybody who would ever dare subject themselves to this horrible album...but im liking that 2.99 price.

If everyday albums were like 2.99 for low artists and 5.99 for big acts, Id probably buy more legal music.

If anyone dares...Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination 2.99 at Amazon.com

P.s You have been warned, its the worst album of the last decade. Promise. Maybe even worse than Ashley Aimpson's last album...maybe.

Interested in buying a NEW Delorean?

2008-09-28T10:28:00.000-07:00

It will only cost you $57,500.00 base price...before any additions. Apparently DMC came back last year and began rebuilding the Delorean.

They have the exact same models as before in two colors - Black or Grey.

This is beyond tempting, lets hope in 20 years they are still doing this so i can live out my Back To The Future dream.

In Florida they have a factory/dealership in Bonita Springs.

90210 1x06 Spoilers

2008-09-25T12:49:00.000-07:00

Everybody knows Luke Perry and Jason Priestley have said "not now" to the CW's new 90210—so how is it then that both Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh pop up for major plot twists in next Tuesday's episode?!

In "Model Behavior," the episode of 90210 airing Sept. 30, we learn that Brenda (Shannen Doherty) has been keeping in close contact with twin brother Brandon and ex-boyfriend Dylan. In this ep, Brenda reveals some heretofore unknown details about Brandon's current whereabouts.

But that's not all. Next week, that wayward Dylan finally phones home again. Apparently the call is to Brenda's phone, but both Brenda and Kelly end up talking to him, and after the fact, the two girls get into a "tense" convo (most likely because he calls Brenda's phone).

This is pretty kool, "Buffy" and "Angel" did the same thing when they were stuck in the "Network Wars" between WB and UPN, so it's kool that the show can still manage to incorporate these two characters while the actors decide if (more than likely WHEN) they will officially return.

Francis Lawrence at Comic-Con International two months ago, confirmed that Warner Bros. is starting to get the ball rolling on a prequel to the 2007 Will Smith blockbuster I Am Legend, which grossed $584 million internationally.

It is now official on all fronts.

Lawrence will returning to direct,Will Smith will return as Dr. Robert Neville,as well the original movie's producer Akiva Goldsman.

Regina George signs up for "Holmes" Flick

2008-09-24T23:39:00.000-07:00

Rachel McAdams (aka Regina George) will star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in "Sherlock Holmes," a reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's supersleuth that Guy Ritchie is directing for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow.

The movie, which will begin shooting next month, takes its cue from a forthcoming comic book that producer Lionel Wigram wrote as a selling tool for a new take on the classic character. The concept sees Holmes as more adventurous and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations and mines more obscure character traits.

Downey will play Holmes while Mark Strong ("RocknRolla") plays the main villain, Blackwood. Jude Law is portraying Holmes' colleague Watson.

McAdams plays Holmes' enigmatic love interest, Irene Adler, a character who appeared in Doyle's 1891 "A Scandal in Bohemia." While the character only appeared in that one story, McAdams' personage would return for any possible sequel.

I am very excited for this "Sherlock Holmes" film! I have a feeling it will be very "Mystery Men meets League of Extraordinary Gentleman meets Sherlock Holmes" That is a good combo.

More 90210 Coming...

2008-09-24T23:22:00.000-07:00

The CW has officially picked up it's new series "90210" for a full season consisting of 22 hour long episodes. They had intially only commited to 12, but given the show's high debut numbers and steady weekly digits, it's no surprise they have decided to put a little faith into the famous zip.

The pickup makes it the first new show of the fall season to receive a full season pick up on ANY network.

The CW also announced that they have added Rebecca Kirschner to the staff as Head Writer and Co Producer. Kirschner is made famous in the industry for being a part of the writing staff on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer","Freeks and Geeks" and as Head Writer on "Gilmore Girls". So this is definitely a welcome addition to the developing show!

90210 news bites...
Jennie Garth aka Kelly Taylor is currently in the process of re-negotiating for more episodes this season, no final word spoken yet but we can assume she will be staying.

Shannen Doherty aka Brenda Walsh unfortunatly was only signed on for the 5 she has done,and she has yet to re-negotiate a deal because she is working on another show pilot , but she has been such a welcome addition to "90210" that I hear CW is actively working with her to return later in the season. Doherty's final episode is currently set for next tuesday.

90210 airs Tuesday's at 8pm est on The CW

Johnny Depp is Disney's Golden Ticket...

2008-09-24T20:46:00.000-07:00

So Disney held this huge "Movie Preview Event" where a TON of news and details were revealed about upcoming films over the next couple years. One of the biggest developments revealed was the amount of work being provided to Disney from "Pirates" star Johnny Depp.

Here is everything that was announced relating to good ole Jack...

Disney officially announced today that Johnny Depp will star as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

It was also revealed Burton is shooting the film in 3-D.

The film will combine performance-capture imagery, similar to Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf, with live-action footage.

Depp is joining previously cast actors Mia Wasikowska (as Alice).
Disney has set a release date of March 5, 2010.

During Disney's Movie preview today in Hollywood, the studio asked who could possibly play the lead in its upcoming feature "The Lone Ranger".

Disney then rolled out the USC marching band to come down and play the Ranger's theme song. This was followed by an appearance by Depp himself who took to the stage in full Captain Jack Sparrow attire...wearing The Lone Ranger's mask.

According to Disney, Depp is officially signed to play Tonto and not the Lone Ranger as was initially implied. Tonto is the native american sidekick of the Lone Ranger.

The Lone Ranger, said to be an origin story, is written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who also wrote the "Pirates" films and the upcoming "Prince of Persia" film starring Jake Gyllenhaul.

No Release date was given on "The Lone Ranger" but we would assume Late 2010/Summer 2011.

To finish off all the craziness announced today at Disney's Movie Preview Event,host Dick Cook(Head of Walt Disney Pictures) mentioned that this might mean we'll see another Pirates of the Caribbean movie, confirming that a fourth film from that franchise is also in the works.

We can safely assume that Johnny Depp is signed on for the aforementioned "Pirates 4", which will more than likely be written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio and if we are lucky Disney will throw enough money at Gore Verbinski to return as well.

I dont expect a fourth "Pirates" film till 2012 though. Good News tho!

Lady Gaga - Just Dance (Live at NRJ Tour)

R.I.P Total Request Live aka "TRL" 1998-2008

2008-09-22T22:13:00.000-07:00

After 8 Years, MTV has decided to close the shades on TRL's windows. The finale episode will air with a two hour series finale special that the producers are hoping to get back all the artists and vj's that helped make it the mainstay for teens that it was for so long.

Truthfully TRL has not been an "In" thing since 2003, and eve that is stretching it a bit. Back in the good ole pop days of Nsync and Britney, TRL was the place to watch for new music videos, see who was the coolest celebrity out there and see and hear exclusive things before it ever got out. In this day and age where video blogging ,cd leaks & youtube have everything up before even the artist wants, shows that countdown what is hot become beyond not.

Carson Daly (who was the original host) had what what was probably the last of the old school MTV charm. Where the VJ's were such personalities and were visible ALL DAY on different aspects of the MTV brand, that they felt like your friends. New VJ's dont have this. I recently watched an episode of TRL with Lady Gaga. The Host was horrific, some skinny tan british girl who did not know how to hold a microphone let alone know anything about charm or charisma.

Producer Dave Sirulnick says that "the show is taking a break in this form...and may return when the time for it arises". If everything goes how the world works... it will be gone for 2-3 years and when pop music returns, so will TRL. It will be vintage then.

"Oh man they are bringing back TRL! I remember watching that when i was younger"
RIP TRL 1998 -2008
