Ashton Kutcher knows exactly what it's like to be at the centre of attention all of the time and the actor has now spoken out about Twitter and the circus that that has created, claiming that the media has ruined the social networking site.

( How About Tumblr Then, Ashton? Collapse )

What messed up Twitter for me were hypocritical, rude and plain dumb celebrities showing their true colors as well as self-obsessed users tweeting 50 posts per hour.

"Fast & the Furious 6" is widely expected to dominate the Memorial Day box office and potentially become the highest grossing film in the lucrative franchise's history.

For a franchise keep growing as it enters its second decade and sixth installment is nearly unheard of in Hollywood, where sequels tend to burn hot and fast, dying out quickly. Yet Universal Pictures has adroitly managed the car racing series by tapping into international markets, catering to under-appreciated moviegoing audiences and recognizing the power of Diesel fuel -- Vin Diesel that is.

Here are six takeaways from the "Fast & the Furious" franchise's success for rival studios trying to engineer their own box office Maserati's.

It still boggles my mind that Hollywood acts so !!shocked!! that people other than white dudes go to the movies.

...but I still think Riddick will be a flop.

Chelsea Handler: What do you consider to be really good sex?

Tyrese Gibson: Well see they got this thing about minute men. And so, when you’re a minute man, women get mad. But it’s actually a compliment because if you’re in the bed for like 45 minutes and nothing is happening, you should get your life together.

One Direction have added three more dates to their Where We Are tour after tickets sold out in minutes when they went on sale this morning.

i dont understand how any of this dumbass shit is legal
this is probably to generate more $$$ by making users watch sponsored shows aka if ya fav show is about to be cancelled they can probably pay microsoft to make ppl watch it
so far xbox is tv/social networking centric.
i also heard that it can listen to you and must remain on constantly, require a internet connection.
games must be registered to account, similar to pc games
has fees for used games (eg you pay an amount to link a used game to your account)
the console will always be listening, obviously this is for the voice commands but lbr which company isnt data mining

There's now two charges against two girls in the south for child abuse with
two other girls. Each couple is within the so-called "Romeo and Juliet"
clauses that these laws usually have.

Gee, you hear lots of rumors about this with older boys against younger
girls.

The parents say they're not motivated by homophobia.

.......suuuuuuure. Yeah, I believe that. Really.

So these cases might be used to weaken age-of-consent laws, which will
pretty much benefit predatory males, given their numerical domination in
the sex offender category. Oh, and right here: anybody who tries ti trot
out, "I know a guy who got busted for public urination!" I'll ban you in a
heartbeat.

In case you haven't been keeping up, whining about the sex offender
registry and how you 'heard' about this guy getting put on there for a lewd
license plate is the new "Bitchez lie, amirite?"

While promoting his latest interpretation of a classic work, “The Great Gatsby,” director Baz Luhrmann revealed that he once had a chance to adapt an even more lucrative feature: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

During an interview on Britain’s “The Graham Norton Show,” Luhrmann discussed how after he directed Warner Bros.’s “Romeo + Juliet,” the studio approached him with an offer to helm the first “Harry Potter” film. Luhrmann admitted that since he was unfamiliar with Rowling’s then fairly new books -- and in the midst of planning his next feature -- he turned down the job.

“The first one came along and they rang me, and while I love the pictures and the books now, then I thought, ‘What’s that?’ And said, ‘Well that sounds interesting, but I’m thinking of doing a reinvention of the modern musical,’ and that was ‘Moulin Rouge,’” Luhrmann said. “So I’m an obvious idiot, because I should have taken ‘Harry Potter.’”

Indeed, it’s fun to imagine what Luhrmann would have brought to the series. While Chris Columbus -- who directed “Sorcerer’s Stone” -- took an overly faithful approach to his interpretation that many critics agreed lacked some luster, Luhrmann no doubt would have pumped his film full of adrenaline. Might he have made Harry, Ron, and Hermione sing and dance? Would his trademark frenetic camera work and penchant for flashy flourishes have lent itself well to the Quidditch and spell-casting?

Whatever approach Luhrmann might have taken, he’s no doubt wishing he had some magic of his own to help him go back in time and rethink his decision. While “Moulin Rouge” helped usher in a new age of Hollywood musicals, it made just over $179 million at the worldwide box office, compared to the $7 billion total of the eight “Potter” films.
