Madonna Teases New Song 'Beautiful Killer'


Adding piles to her "MDNA" song previews before the album release, Madonna unleashes a snippet for a fresh track called "Beautiful Killer". In this new dancey song, the "Like a Virgin" hitmaker sings about falling for a mystery man.

"I like your silhouette when you stand on the street/ Like a samurai, you can handle the heat / Makes me wanna pray for a haunted man," she delivers the flirty lyrics. "You can call my name and I'll be around/ Maybe I'll let you shoot me down, 'cause you're a beautiful killer with a beautiful face."

Madge is going to release her album in the U.S. on March 26, and will follow it up with a world tour starting May. She's busy preparing for the upcoming roadshow, and continues giving update by posting new pictures from the rehearsal. She's seen practicing her walk on a rope.

While waiting for the album release and the promo tour, the "W.E." director is going to release a music video for her single "Girl Gone Wild" on March 20. In its official teaser, the Queen of Pop is seen writhing in chains, blowing smoke to the camera, and being sandwiched by two shirtless hunks who later make out with each other.

Katy Perry Goes to War in 'Part of Me' Video Teaser


Katy Perry is going to ditch her sophisticated look in upcoming music video for her latest single "Part of Me". Channeling her inner tough soldier, she wears a full army gear and conceals her beautiful face with camouflaged paint in its official teaser.

The soon-to-be-released music video was filmed on a military base earlier this year. It's going to premiere in full on Wednesday, March 21 on MTV, and will be preceded by a 30-minute interview with Katy on MTV.com.

"Part of Me" is taken from "Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection", which is due in the United States on March 27. After the breakup single was showcased at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, words ran rampant that it's an ode to her doomed relationship with Russell Brand.

Katy, however, denied it. "I wrote it two years ago, which is funny because everybody is like 'God, it sounds so current'," she said. "Some people that I work with were like, 'You should just say you wrote it a couple of weeks ago.' I'm like 'I'm not a [bleep], I'm going to tell the truth'."

"I wrote it two years ago when I was writing and recording 'Teenage Dream', [but] it didn't feel right on the record ... Sometimes I'm like, 'Am I living in 'The Truman Show?' Because I sit down and I write all these songs at once, all these emotions and feelings and thoughts, and then it just feels like sometimes I'm caught in this movie where my life is paralleling my music." 

'Dark Knight Rises' Screens First Rough Cut as 'Avengers' Sets April Premiere Date


Director Christopher Nolan has almost completed "The Dark Knight Rises". While moviegoers will have to wait until July 20 to watch the highly anticipated DC Comics film, Warner Bros.' executives have had the opportunity to see Nolan's first cut of the last installment of his Batman trilogy.

Also starring Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "The Dark Knight Rises" is set 8 years after the events in "The Dark Knight". Terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, and forcing Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Havey Dent's crimes.

While "Dark Knight Rises" rough cut has just been introduced to Warners' executive, rival mega-budgeted superhero film "The Avengers" has set the date for its world premiere. Also on Friday, Marvel Studios announced that the Earth Mightiest Heroes film is set to hold its special screening on Wednesday, April 11.

Jackson, Stellan Skarsgard and Cobie Smulders, are all expected to hit the red carpet before a 7.00 A.M. screening.

Referring to Bristol's "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far" memoir, Meghan said, "All that stuff she wrote was a total lie. I have, like, one Louis Vuitton purse. She's just young and confused and was thrust into all this." She added, "The media aren't kind to her. But once someone signs up for 'Dancing With the Stars', it's hard to sympathize."

Bristol wrote in her memoir about her first meeting with the McCain family, dishing that Meghan "ignored us during the entire visit," and criticized her and her mother Cindy McCain for being divas. To that, Meghan responded, "I did bump into her at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, actually. I saw her across the room. That girl biffed it fast, totally took off."

Aside from talking about Bristol, Meghan also set the record straight on the gay rumors circulating around her in the interview. "I'm not a lesbian," she assured. "I'd be the first person to tell the world I was gay. I'm not private about anything. I think you should live how you should live. But I'm strictly d**kly. I can't help it. I love sex and I love men."

The 27-year-old also ruled out any possibility of her appearing on reality TV or "Dancing With the Stars". She commented on the matter, "Hell would freeze over before I would do a reality show.

Family Tries to Talk Bobbi Kristina Out of Alleged Engagement


Speculations that Bobbi Kristina might have gotten engaged to her "adopted" brother, Nick Gordon, have grown bigger and bigger by the day. After the only daughter of late Whitney Houston added more fuel to the rumors by wearing a diamond ring during recent PDA-filled outing, new report came out that her family is trying to talk her out of it.

Confirming that Bobbi is indeed engaged to Nick, one source spilled to PEOPLE, "The family is trying to coax her away from it." Another inside source told Hollywood Life that Bobbi's grandmother, Cissy Houston, is "worried sick" over her because she feels the 19-year-old "is heading in the wrong direction."

"She thinks Krissy has become overly dependent on Nicholas and that he is taking advantage of her vulnerability," the insider further said of the situation. "If he were a real friend to Krissy, he would support her in getting the proper help to heal from her mother's death." Hollywood Life also suggested that Bobbi is planning to tie the knot with Nick in Las Vegas.

Despite Cissy's objection, Bobbi reportedly is determined to marry Nick. "Krissy has told her grandmother that she doesn't need her blessing to marry Nick," another source told Radar Online, "and the more Cissy objects to the relationship, well that only cements Krissy's decision. ... Krissy doesn't think she needs to wait, and points to her mom's sudden death as the reason to marry Nick."

As for the pair's rumored engagement, one source informed PEOPLE, "Nick asked Krissi about a week ago to marry him." While it is still unclear whether Bobbi said yes to the proposal, the source noted that the diamond ring the daughter of Bobby Brown was spotted wearing once belonged to her late mother.

Jennifer Lopez doesn't think badly of Benny Medina despite his recent comments in Vogue magazine about her letting "obsessive guys pursue her." In fact, the "On the Floor" hitmaker came to her longtime manager's defense when asked about the matter, sharing her belief that his words have been misconstrued.

Speaking to Laura Saltman of Access Hollywood, 42-year-old singer said, "I know Benny and he's like my best friend, like I said, my creative soul mate, and I know the way he says things and I know he would never say anything that would be hurtful to me in anyway." She added, "So things can be taken out of context and you know I've done interviews for a long time."

The estranged wife of Marc Anthony went on to share her thought on whether Medina's comments have been taken out of context. "I think a lot of it, you can place it in a way that cannot be the best way to put it. You have to just know what is going to be misconstrued let's say," she pointed out, before stressing, "I trust him completely. I mean, he's the godfather to my children."

Medina talked about J.Lo's tendency to jump from one relationship to another in an interview with Vogue magazine.

During the chat, he also commented on his client's relationship with younger boyfriend Casper Smart.

Brad Pitt Circling Supporting Role as Businessman in Ridley Scott's 'Counselor'


Another A-list actor is reportedly circling a role in Ridley Scott's upcoming high-end movie, "The Counselor". Shortly after Michael Fassbender was sealed to tackle the leading man in the upcoming film, it is now rumored that Brad Pitt is approaching Scott to land a supporting role in the thriller.

Twitch broke the news that the "Moneyball" actor has booked an appointment with the English director in the last few days. It was said that the longtime partner of Angelina Jolie was discussing a minor role with the "Prometheus" helmer. The character Pitt is eyeing is called Westray, a business associate of the counselor's.

This was not the first time Pitt's name emerged as a candidate to star in the high profile project. In February, Deadline reported that the "Inglourious Basterds" actor was eyed to play major villain called Reiner in the film. His name was in the mix along with Jeremy Renner and Javier Bardem, who are now becoming the frontrunners to play the bad guy. Additionally, Natalie Portman is in talks to star as the wife of Fassbender's character.

Major plot details of "The Counselor" are still kept under very tight wraps, but it is reported that the film is described as " 'No Country for Old Men' on steroids." The story follows a respected lawyer who thinks he can dip a toe in to the drug business without getting sucked down. It is a bad decision and he tries his best to survive it and get out of a desperate situation.

The screenplay is written by Pulitzer and Oscar winner Cormac McCarthy. The project, which is co-produced by Nick Wechsler, Steve Schwartz and Paula Mae Schwartz, still hasn't found a major studio to develop it.

Pitt, who was nominated for Best Actor at the 2012 Academy Awards, will next be seen in "Killing Them Softly" (previously known as "Cogan's Trade"), a crime drama directed by Andrew Dominick. His other next movie is apocalyptic zombie war "World War Z", which has been pushed back to June 2013.

Russell Brand Released From Police Custody After Posting $5,000 Bond




Russell Brand is paying his dues for smashing an office window with a paparzzi's cell phone on Monday, March 12. The estranged husband of Katy Perry has turned himself in to police custody on Thursday, March 15 afternoon, nearly a day after a warrant for his arrest was issued by the New Orleans Police Department.

At approximately 4 P.M., the Lonny Barnett of "Rock of Ages" was booked on one count of simple criminal damage to property. He was released from police custody around an hour later. New Orleans police spokesman Officer Garry Flot told Reuters that bail was set at $5,000 for the 36-year-old actor.

Brand's trouble with the law began after he was accused of snatching a phone belonging to a paparazzi by the name of Timothy Jackson and throwing it through a glass window of a nearby law firm building. After the incident, people from his camp reportedly contacted a worker inside the office when the window was broken to say that the "Arthur" star is willing to compensate for the shattered glass.

A misdemeanor warrant for Brand's arrest was issued on Wednesday and indicated that he's facing a potential fine of at least $700 for the incident. On the same day, the actor, who's in town to film "Lamb of God", explained his outburst through Twitter. "Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently," so he wrote, "what I did was a tribute to his memory."

The broken window has since been replaced, and a production assistant from the movie Brand is shooting has stopped by to pay for the $240 repair in cash, TMZ reported. A representative for the law firm later confirmed to E! News that Lamb Productions did pay for the repair.

Lady GaGa Dreams of Becoming Soccer Mom, Plans Media Blackout




Lady GaGa has gone candid on the subject of motherhood and media. During an interview for Sunday, March 18 episode of OWN's "Oprah's Next Chapter", the "Marry the Night" singer opened up to Oprah Winfrey that she dreams of becoming a mother one day and plans to go silence.

Speaking about having a family of her own, the 25-year-old said, "I want kids, I want a soccer team and I want a husband." Asked if she was serious about it, she responded, "Yeah, yeah, I do. Well, you know, I'm being superfluous. I don't want to have one kid. I want to have a few." Still, she noted that it won't be happening anytime soon as saying, "I want to experience [being pregnant], [but] not yet."

During the chat, the "Born This Way" hitmaker also talked about her media blackout. "The newest thing that I do, I don't read a damn thing. No press, no television, no, if my mom calls and says, 'did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music," she said. "Other than this interview Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time."

Aside from GaGa, the episode also features an interview with the singer's mother. Recounting one of the "Poker Face" singer's early performances when she lit hairspray on fire, she admitted, "Some people left when that happened... a lot of people stayed and thought it was cool. But her father and I were like, honesty, he said, 'I think she has a screw loose'."

Jennifer Lopez Doesn't Give Herself Time to Naturally Meet Someone, Manager Claims




Jennifer Lopez's tendency to jump from one relationship to another has apparently left her manager worried. In an interview with Vogue magazine about the singer's romance with Casper Smart, Benny Medina admitted, "The thing that I always sort of wished is that she would give herself time to just naturally meet someone, instead of having obsessive guys pursue her."

"The ease with which that obsession becomes a relationship I think sometimes works against her ability to have a real meaningful relationship," the manager, who has handled the careers of Tyra Banks and P. Diddy, elaborated. "And she never half does anything. When she commits to anything in her work, her life or her relationships, she is in it."

On the subject of J.Lo's 18-year age gap with Casper, Medina commented, "She's not oblivious to her own reality right now, as in, 'Damn, I'm 42 with a 24-year-old. Why?' We talked about it yesterday. She was just like, 'It's not even the age, Benny. It's that I just came out of a relationship where I felt like I was kind of not getting what I needed. And I'm open! So somebody who steps in right now and is actually touching me in a way.' It's very fertile ground."

J.Lo began dating Casper shortly after she and third husband Marc Anthony announced their separation after seven years of marriage in July 2011. While the "American Idol" judge stayed silence about their age gap, her backup dancer boyfriend tweeted in January 2012, "Age, status, n opinions of others are irrelevant. Our hearts are endless and our souls infinite."

The "On the Floor" hitmaker was recently forced to shoot down wedding rumors after a tweet about her request for a wedding dress popped out on the Twitter account of fashion designer Roberto Cavalli. Setting the record straight, she wrote on her official website, "Here's the truth now: ROBERTO CAVALLI'S TWITTER ACCOUNT was hacked. The rumor is not true."

Comedian Gallagher Under Sedation as He Recovers From Heart Attack


Gallagher, the stand-up comedian best known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer, is in stable condition after suffering a heart attack on Wednesday, March 14 evening. His promotional manager, Christine Scherrer, said on Thursday that the 65-year-old is currently under sedation, but is "slowly recovering".

The comic, whose real name is Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr., collapsed backstage at Coach Joe's Hat Tricks in Lewisville, Texas just before he went on the stage to perform. The club's manager Marc Cummins told The Associated Press that the club's promotions director performed CPR on him before paramedics arrived.

Gallagher's manager told TMZ that he had suffered a "mild to serious" heart attack, and Scherrer further told CNN he is being treated at an undisclosed Dallas-area hospital. "We will not know the outcome until sometime tomorrow," she added, before further noting, "His family is with him and Hat Tricks has been unbelievable with the help and support with everything."

This is not the first time Gallagher suffered a heart attack. The comedian, who ran for governor of California in the 2003 recall election, collapsed on stage during a performance in Minnesota in March 2011 because of a minor attack. Of it, Scherrer said, "That was little bit more mild than this one."

Brandon Routh to Welcome First Child in Summer




Photo credit: FayesVision/WENN Brandon Routh is preparing himself for a diaper duty. The leading man of "Superman Returns" and his wife of four years, Courtney Ford, have just announced that they are expecting their first child together. To PEOPLE, the happy couple additionally revealed that their bundle of joy will arrive this summer.

Both Routh and his wife chose to keep the news a secret in the beginning of her pregnancy, but found it difficult to do. The 32-year-old actor, who's working on the CBS pilot "Partners", admitted, "It's been so hard keeping the news to ourselves. Everyone on set keeps asking, 'Do you have kids?' and I've had to say, 'Well ... not yet!' It's the truth. The baby hasn't been born yet!"

Ford had an even bigger problem during the filming of her six-episode arc for "Parenthood". "It started getting difficult to hide what was happening," the 33-year-old actress shared. "Flu and food poisoning excuses only work for so long, and by the last episode I could no longer button my pants! I just tried to joke that I had a big lunch!"

Routh and Ford first met at Lucky Strike in Los Angeles, where he was working as a bartender, at the rehearsal dinner for her brother's wedding. He proposed to her with a sparkler from jeweler Neil Lane in August 2006 while he was in the midst of the "Superman Returns" press tour. They tied the knot at El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara on November 24, 2007.

Ashley Judd's Puffy Face Is Likely Result of Medication for Sinus Infection and Flu, Rep Says


The reason behind Ashley Judd's different look at a recent appearance on a Canadian talk show has been undisclosed. Shooting down cosmetic surgery speculations, a representative for the Rebecca Winstone of ABC's "Missing" said that heavy medication to treat her sinus infection and flu might contribute to her puffy face.

"For the record, this is unequivocally not true," Cara Tripicchio clarified to E! News. "Ashley has been battling an ongoing, serious sinus infection and flu. Therefore, Ashley has been on a heavy dose of medication to overcome it so she could get on a plane and travel to Toronto and New York to fulfill her commitment of completing four consecutive days of press to promote her new show 'Missing'."

"This may have contributed to her face appearing 'puffy' on the talk show in Toronto, however anyone who is truly paying attention and not looking to perpetuate a ridiculous story can look online further at photos of her last night during an Apple Store event in NYC and see for themselves that there is zero sign of plastic surgery, puffiness, fillers, etc., that has become a silly and erroneous topic of conversation."

Tripicchio ended her statement by stressing that Judd "is a natural beauty enjoying her 40's gracefully." The 43-year-old actress herself confirmed her illness on a tweet posted Wednesday, March 14 morning. "Thanks to all asking how I've been feeling," she wrote. "still very sick (flu + viral infection in sinuses = wicked) but staying positive & having fun."

Judd showed off a puffier-than-normal face during an appearance on CTV's "The Marilyn Denis Show" to promote her new TV series, "Missing", leading her fans to question the different look on Twitter. One wrote, "What happened to Ashley Judd's face? Another plastic surgery butcher job?", while another one tweeted, "It looks weirdly puffy but she doesn't appear to have gained weight."

Us Weekly later offered possibility that the wife of racing driver Dario Franchitti might have had injectable fillers in an effort to look younger. The publication even cited a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon as saying, "As we age, we lose fullness [in our face]. Fillers can reverse it."

A day afterward, it was uncovered that Brand's people had reached out to a worker inside the building which window was shattered in the incident to offer compensation.

Contrary to swirling rumors, Jennifer Lopez hasn't made any plans to wed younger boyfriend Casper Smart. Days after a tweet about her request for a wedding dress popped out on the Twitter account of fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, the "On the Floor" hitmaker took to her official website to set the record straight.

On Wednesday, March 14, the 42-year-old songstress sounded off earlier statement made by Cavalli's representative via PEOPLE that informs fans the designer's account has been hacked. "Here's the truth now: ROBERTO CAVALLI'S TWITTER ACCOUNT was hacked," so she wrote. "The rumor is not true."

"I decided there needs to be a place (The J. Low), where you can get the truth," she continued on. "Using this site as my way to connect, I'll share the reality of my life right here, and make sure you never have to wonder about what is or isn't real. What I tell you is the truth, everything else is just talk. Thanks for supporting and always believing in me."

The tweet in question itself was posted via @RCavalli on Monday, March 12. It read, "Today , Jenifer Lopez. Call me...... She ask me. To create a special dress. For her next weding. ! Wich color ... Do you advise me. ?" Debunking the claim, a friend of Lopez told PEOPLE, "They are not getting married. They are not even engaged."

Lopez announced her separation from third husband Marc Anthony after seven years of marriage in July 2011. "This was a very difficult decision," the estranged couple explained in the joint statement.

Whitney Houston's Daughter and 'Adopted' Son Not Hiding Affection During Lunch Run



Whitney Houston's daughter and "adopted" son continue to add fuel to rumors that they are romantically involved. Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon were caught on camera flaunting their affection to one another as the twosome stepped out in Atlanta, Georgia to grab some lunch on Tuesday, March 13.

A video footage documenting Bobbi and Nick's outing was obtained by TMZ. In it, the pair can be seen holding hands as they walked in and out of an eatery. At one point, just before they made their entrance, 22-year-old Nick leaned toward 19-year-old Bobbi. It isn't clear, though, whether they did share a kiss.

I'm surprised they're saying that they're not together."

On Monday, Nick confirmed his closeness to Bobbi on Twitter. "Yea we got a little closer and what!!!" he tweeted before slamming the haters with such tweets as, "All the haters that dont know us or th real story can't un follow me. I don't give a f**k." He later told ABC News, "We're just close - just going through her mom's passing and grieving together."

Jeremy Renner Might Replace Jake Gyllenhaal as Leading Man in 'Motor City'


Just a few days after the reports buzzing that Jake Gyllenhaal was approached to tackle the lead role in "Motor City", it is now said that the part will likely be offered to another actor. According to Twitch, Gyllenhaal has turned down the offer and now director Albert Hughes has set his eyes on Jeremy Renner to fill Gyllenhaal's shoes.

It was said that Renner has just entered a discussion with Hughes about playing the lead character in the revenge drama. "The Hurt Locker" actor himself is currently in talks to lead Ridley Scott's "The Counselor".

Before Renner and Gyllenhaal emerged as the candidates of the male lead in "Motor City", Chris Evans and Dominic Cooper were also considered to take the part. They, however, decided to exit the project reportedly due to scheduling conflict. So far, the cast ensemble includes Gary Oldman who will play a mafia kingpin, and Amber Heard who will star as the leading lady.

Chad St. John works to provide the script for "Motor City", which centers on a man who gets released from prison and sets out on a revenge mission to hunt down the people who framed him. Producing the pic, meanwhile, is Joel Silver.
