2009-07-08T04:18:00.000-07:00

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a 2009 American science fiction action film which was released on June 19, 2009 in the United Kingdom and June 24, 2009 in North America. Shooting took place from May to November 2008. Revenge of the Fallen achieved the highest Wednesday opening gross in history, bringing in $62 million in North America alone and close to $100 million worldwide.

Lily Collins

2009-07-08T04:15:00.003-07:00

Lily Collins, daughter of veteran rock drummer and singer Phil, was just six when her father walked out of the family home for another woman. But Lily, now a Hollywood-based model and TV presenter, says there is no bitterness about his decision to leave ? in fact, she thinks her dad is cool

If you didn’t know, you’d never guess that 18-year-old Lily Collins spent the first six years of her life in rural West Sussex. To speak to her, she is pure California teen, her sentences endearingly sprinkled with the word ‘like’ ? all sunny American enthusiasm without even a dash of British reserve.

But not only is this delicate beauty with enormous brown eyes one of the up-and-coming models of the moment, she is also the daughter of rock legend and Genesis drummer Phil Collins.

Michael Jackson Died at the age of 50

2009-06-26T03:29:00.001-07:00

Michael Jackson died Thursday afternoon (June 25) at the age of 50 after suffering cardiac arrest, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Reports say the legendary pop singer suffered cardiac arrest at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills and was not breathing and had no pulse when paramedics arrived after a 911 call around 12:26 p.m. PT. They administered CPR in the ambulance but were unable to revive him. At the hospital, staff attempted to resuscitate Jackson, but he was unresponsive.

From his early career in the 1970s with his family group the Jackson 5 to his decades-long career as a solo artist, Jackson stood as one of the most successful and beloved pop artists of all time.

Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto

2009-06-15T08:05:00.000-07:00

We just heard the news that manny pacquiao's next challenge is Miguel Cotto,

MANILA, Philippines -- Impressed by the tremendous amount of fan support Miguel Cotto generated in his welterweight fight yesterday, Manny Pacquiao has given promoter Bob Arum the go signal to arrange a fight between the two stars.

"Manny told me what to do. Manny told me 'Go ahead, make that fight.' So it will go Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand here in (Las) Vegas," Arum told Marley. "He (Pacquiao) was impressed by Cotto's fan support and told me it reminded him of how the British fans stand with Ricky Hatton."

Mayweather is originally slated to face Marquez on July 18. With the injury, however, their fight is reportedly being rescheduled to September 19 -- making a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout unlikely to happen within the year.

Paris Hilton and Cristiano Ronaldo Snapped Making Out at MyHouse

Paris Hilton and Cristiano Ronaldo Snapped Making Out at MyHouse

Newly single Paris Hilton was photographed making out with soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday night, June 10, the same day she had her representative publicly announcing her separation from baseball player boyfriend Doug Reinhardt. It is not known if Paris and Cristiano are dating, but they were seen getting up close and personal at swanky L.A. nightclub MyHouse.

Paris and Cristiano actually started off their night separately. The celebrity socialite was seen hitting Nobu West Hollywood with her sister Nicky Hilton for some sushi, whereas Cristiano kicked off his night dining at the Brazilian restaurant Fogo De Chao. "The Hilton sisters showed up at about 10:20 P.M. and sat on the outside patio. Paris wasn't her usual chipper, chatty self - she looked absolutely miserable. She was clearly flying under the radar with her sister last night. She had a couple of cocktails and she was fiddling with her phone throughout the entire meal," sources in the know tell X17 Online.

Paris and Nicky reportedly left the eatery at around 11:20 P.M. and then headed to club MyHouse, where Cristiano was also hanging out. There, the threesome sat together at a table. And sources inside the club claim that Cristiano and Paris were getting cozy and kissing the entire night. TMZ has some photos of them making out.

Later that night, Paris and Cristiano left the hot spot separately, but reunited at Nicky's West Hollywood house. He was caught on camera leaving the building at 5 A.M.

Faber vs Brown II sure to provide a weekend MMA fix

2009-06-07T23:18:00.000-07:00

Faber vs Brown II

One week before the Ultimate Fighting Championship lands in Germany for UFC 99, there's a mixed martial arts battle occurring back in the USA that may not be as significant, but will surely be every bit as exciting as Franklin vs Silva.

WEC's Faber vs Brown II is a rematch from the November match in which Faber, the charismatic champion, was viciously TKO'd by Brown, the no-frills fighter training out of American Top Team. To say it was an upset was an understatement, since Faber hadn't been beaten in three years, with even that loss being at the hands of the much larger Tyson Griffin. Brown may have been 19-4, but Faber, having just beaten Jens Pulver, was considered one of the best 145lb fighters on the planet.

Brown - a state champion wrestler in his youth - goes into Sunday's bout with a natural size advantage, given that he cuts from over 160lbs to make 145. But Faber has home-town advantage given that the bout is being held in his home city of Sacremento, California.

If Faber is to reclaim his title, he can't afford the reckless abandon that his made him a favourite among hardcore MMA fans. In the first match-up, he threw a wild Anderson Silva-esque side elbow at Brown, who countered against his unprotected opponent with a huge right hand that virtually finished the fight. Faber will need to be smarter this time around, and use his speed to be elusive and pick up points - watching tapes of the recent Rashad Evans vs Lyoto Machida bout should help.

But with power, wrestling ability, and punching power on his side, it's difficult to look past the champion on Sunday.

But whatever happens, it should be an explosive affair.

Statement: SMS Scam

2009-05-12T07:41:00.001-07:00

It has recently come to our attention that an SMS scam is in operation in the UK, purporting to be endorsed and supported by Guinness World Records.

This scam falsely claims that GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS has selected the recipient out of thousands of phone numbers in Asia and Europe and that they have won a prize of £700,000. The sender then requires the recipient disclose personal information via email or SMS and send £630 to India before the prize can be collected.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS LIMITED is in no way connected to these SMS messages and strongly discourages recipients to disclose personal information and/or the sending of money to this organization.

Star Trek

Star Trek beams to top of chart

The new Star Trek film has rocketed to the top of the North American box office chart, early figures show.

Director JJ Abrams' prequel to the sci-fi franchise took an estimated $76.5m (£50.3m) in its opening weekend, easily beating its nearest rival.

The figure far surpasses the opening totals of the previous 10 Trek films.

Star Trek's impressive opening pushed previous chart-topper X-Men Origins: Wolverine down to second place, with takings of $27m (£17.7m).

But the comic book hero movie still ranks as the biggest film opening so far this year, taking $85m (£56m) in its first weekend.

Star Trek, which stars newcomer Chris Pine in the lead role, reveals the back stories of Captain Kirk, Mr Spock and the rest of the crew of the USS Enterprise.

Paramount Pictures had estimated that the movie would make about $50m (£33m) for the weekend, but hoped strong reviews would help carry it to a bigger opening.

Vice chairman Rob Moore said he expected the movie, which had a $140m (£92.3m) budget, should gross over $200m (£132m) total this summer, even with competition like Terminator: Salvation and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince being released in cinemas soon.

The rest of the films in the top five all shuffled down one place to make way for the sci-fi blockbuster.

Romantic comedy Ghosts of Girlfriends Past was at three, with Beyonce thriller Obsessed at four and Zac Efron comedy 17 Again at five.

The only other new nationwide release, comic crime tale Next Day Air, opened at number six with $4m (£2.6m).

Linkin Park - "New Divide" Is Coming

2009-05-09T08:03:00.000-07:00

The title of Linkin Park's new song is "New Divide." As most of you have heard, it is the theme song and lead single from the upcoming movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The song will premiere on radio worldwide on May 18 and will also be available for download on iTunes that same day!

In addition to writing the theme song for the movie, Linkin Park are contributing to the score of the movie. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens in the theaters on June 24 and the soundtrack hits stores on June 23.

"The opportunity to be creatively involved with one of the most anticipated films of the summer is pretty exciting," says Mike Shinoda. "It's one thing to shoot a video that matches sound and vision, but making music that's built for the big screen is a completely different challenge and we ran with it.
