Twilight Could Get More Sequels After Breaking Dawn Part 2

The Twilight franchise could spawn more sequels even though the last big-screen adaptation of the vampire novels is set to be released this year. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which will hit cinemas on November 16, 2012, will tie in with the fourth and final novel in the series authored by Stephanie Meyer, and was also assumed to be the last instalment in the film series. But Jon Feltheimer – chief of Lionsgate, the studio responsible for overseeing the films – has hinted to the Los Angeles Time that the story could still continue even after the release of Breaking Dawn – Part 2.

"I'm anticipating Breaking Dawn – Part 2 being $700 million-plus (£457 million) in worldwide box office," said Feltheimer when asked about the likelihood of the franchise continuing. He went on to add: It's hard for me to imagine a movie that does $700 million-plus that doesn't have ongoing value. It's an amazing franchise that they have done a great job of maintaining with absolutely no deterioration. So the simple answer is 'Boy I hope so'.

James Durbin - Stand Up - Music Video Teaser

Here is the teaser for James Durbin's upcoming music video for his new single 'Stand Up'.

Star Wars Underworld TV Spinoff

Star Wars producer Rick McCallum has described planned TV spinoff Underworld as "Empire Strikes Back on steroids". McCallum recently confirmed the working title for the project and later revealed that the final series would include "smugglers, gangsters [and] bounty hunters". "It's much darker [than the movies]," he told Collider. "It's a much more adult series. I think, thematically, in terms of characters and what they go through, it will be… the most awesome part of the whole franchise."

McCallum also compared Underworld to "[HBO drama] Deadwood in space". He explained: "It was to be serious performances, very complicated relationships, unbelievable issues of power and corruption, greed, vanity, pride, ego manifesting itself at levels that only equal the world that we live in now, but, as I said, on steroids."

Adding that production would not commence for "the next year or two years", McCallum explained that George Lucas plans to populate Underworld with "extraordinary digital characters", making the show financially prohibitive in the current economic climate. "Most people who love movies and... understand the process realise that if you do a character like Gollum or Jar Jar or any major digital character, that costs twice as much as having Tom Cruise in a movie," he suggested. "You get 150 people working for two years on a 40-minute performance and they all make serious money [so] that's gonna be a serious $20-30 million character. That's our problem, how do we get that down? "It's not a challenge that I think can be dealt with in the next year or two years, I think it's gonna be a little bit more longer term goal."

Jessie J & Ed Sheeran Plan Duet

Jessie J and Ed Sheeran are reportedly planning to collaborate on a single. The musicians, who dominate this year's Brit Awards nominations, want the duet to be "genuine". "Jessie and I are talking about a duet," Sheeran told the Daily Star Sunday. I don't want either of us simply to feature on the other person's song, I want it to be a genuine collaboration where we both sing equal amounts."

Speaking of his new-found success, he added: "I have somewhere to live finally. I even have my own bed and TV, which is a novelty. I treated myself to a massive 55-inch screen TV so I use that quite a bit but I don't really use the bed. "I am so used to sleeping on other people's sofas that I spend most nights on my own now." Sheeran recently teamed up with Example to record a song, while Jessie J is said to be writing tracks for Little Mix's debut album.

Dexter - Shows Future And Defence Of New Incest Storyline

At the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour Thursday, Showtime president David Nevins weathered a storm of Dexter-related questions, particularly regarding that controversial Season 6 twist that found Deb confronting her romantic feelings for her adoptive brother — a creative choice the exec vehemently defends. “I’m aware that there’s a certain taboo despite the fact that they’re not genetically related, but [this is] something that has been building over a number of years,” Nevins noted, claiming that this is “an idea that’s informed how they’ve done this show for a long time.”

Regarding the other big Season 6 reveal (i.e. Deb witnessing Dex’s Dark Passenger in action), Nevins said the turning point sets in motion “a very clear trajectory [for] the next two seasons, and it’s going to help to write with that endgame in mind. There should be fundamentally different dynamics now that Deb [knows about Dex] and it’s going to ricochet. “I’ve been pushing to shake up [Dexter's] formula a bit… so he’s not such a lone wolf,” he added. Speaking of the show’s “endgame,” Nevins conceded that Dexter‘s two-season pickup provides a “likely endpoint” for the saga, “but I’m allowing for the possibility that the plan can change.”

Beyonce Lets Fan Sing

Here is the famous clip of Beyonce allowing a fan to sing along to 'Halo' and likely regreting it after.

Madonna Breaks Silence On Lady Gaga Copying

Since leaping to fame in 2008, Lady Gaga has frequently been compared to Madonna. But the comparisons hit new heights last year when her No.1 single Born This Way was accused by some critics of emulating Madonna's 1989 hit Express Yourself. And after keeping quiet over the comparisons for nearly a year, Madonna has finally broken her silence.

Speaking on ABC show 20/20, the 53-year-old admitted she thought Born This Way sounded 'familiar' when she first heard it. When presenter Cynthia McFadden asked whether Madonna thought Gaga was 'copying' her, she initially praised the 25-year-old. She said: 'She's a very talented artist. 'I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and well done.'

Describing Gaga's work, she added: '(Her songs seem to be a) statement about taking something that was in the Zeitgeist, you know, 20 years ago and turning it inside out and reinterpreting it... 'There’s a lot of ways to look at it. I can’t really be annoyed by it... because, obviously, I’ve influenced her.'

Addressing Born This Way, which was released last February, Madonna elaborated: 'When I heard it on the radio …I said that sounds very familiar.' When McFadden asked if it was 'annoying', Madonna replied: 'It felt reductive.' Attempting to get Madonna to explain the word reductive - which means 'minimal' or 'crude', McFadden asked whether that was 'a good or bad thing', the singer replied: 'Look it up,' before smirking.

In an interview last year, Gaga was opened about Madonna's influence on her Born This Way album. She said: 'I genuinely love her so much. I think she is so amazing. She could never be replicated and, yes, I’m Italian, I’m from New York, and not for nothing, it’s not my fault that I kind of look like her, right? 'So, look, if anything, it’s more annoying to me that people would insinuate that I don’t like to be compared to her… She’s wonderful and inspiring and liberating, and she’s certainly inspired my album, as did David Bowie, as did Prince, as did Michael Jackson, as did Grace Jones, and I would never take that away.'

Despite any ill-feeling Madonna may have for her younger contemporary, the women have been pictured together several times.

First Picture From New Bond Film Skyfall

Daniel Craig won a legion of fans when he was pictured emerging from the ocean in a pair of Speedos.

And it seems the producers of the new James Bond film Skyfall have decided to take the same approach to promotion, as the first still shows the hunk posing in the almost identical trunks next to a swimming pool.

The picture was taken during filming at the fancy Four Seasons Hotel in London, but while it is the first photograph to come from movie many fans of the series are eager to see something a bit more action packed.

Nevertheless it shows that Daniel has managed to get back into the amazing shape that was the hallmark of the rugged, physical Bond he has portrayed since 2006's Casino Royale.
