Having seen how the rebooting of the Batman franchise under Christopher Nolan revived the character and resulted in unprecedented box office returns, the Superman franchise will also get a reboot. And as reboots go, it means there will be a new Superman. It was announced that British actor Henry Cavill has won the role of Superman. Here’s a bit of trivia, Cavill (most famous for his role as Henry VIII’s brother in The Tudors) also auditioned for the role of Batman, which Christian Bale won.

Victoria Beckham, AKA Posh Spice, is an aspiring fashion designer. However, if she’s not promoting her own brand, dVb, no one’s going to know that her jeans even exist. 

This was Fred Segal’s and Kitson’s problem. They were expecting Posh Spice to come into their stores and make an appearance of sort. But what they got what a non-appearance and apparent lack of interest. 

“We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear, but she didn’t,” said Kitson owner, Fraser Ross. “Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell.” 

Since Posh wasn’t doing anything about it, they decided to pull out all her denim range because of poor sales and a lack of promo work. 

Hopefully, this time, Posh is going to do something about it.

Toni Braxton’s heart needs to be “un-broken” as she was rushed to the hospital for chest pains. The six-time Grammy winner was admitted to the St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Las Vegas last Monday night. 

The 40-year old singer headlining a five-nights-a-week show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, was released and listed in good condition the following day. The Flamingo representative stated that they’re giving more time for the signer to rest before she starts again on April 15. 

Braxton previously disclosed that she had pericarditis, an inflammation of the heart lining. She also admitted that she periodically gets heart flutters and high blood pressure.

Is Shia LeBouf brazenly going against the law? He just had his car impounded for parking in front of someone else’s driveway. Even before it was taken away, someone actually took the trouble of composing a ten-line notice, printing it, and then posting it on his car’s window. Talk about a really pissed off homeowner.

We’ve noticed some patterns lately. Last, November, he was arrested for trespassing, this month he was arrested for unlawful smoking, and then this! Is he going down the road of the rebellious actor-type?

It seems to be pretty much very small-time crimes. What’s he going to do next, Jaywalk?

If you remember the old TV show, Beverly Hills 90210, you might be too old to appreciate the new one.

Script details have been leaked out to the media, it seems to be more Politically correct, and up to date compared to the old version. There’s going to be a 60 plus actress/alcoholic, a rebellious teenager, a wannabe who has her own YouTube show, and a Jewish girl with a black boyfriend. We’re still looking for Asians, Latinos, and the occasional foreigners to join the show.

Joking aside, we hope that today’s teens will enjoy the show as we did in the early 90’s.

Straight from Entertainment Weekly, here’s five facts, you probably didn’t know about Raiders of the Lost Ark:

1. Tom Selleck was originally cast as Indy, but Magnum, P.I.‘s producers wouldn’t release him from his contract. Fortunately, Harrison Ford swung in to fill the role.

2. The biplane in the opening of the film has the identification letters OB-CPO, a shout-out to Star Wars‘ Obi-Wan Kenobi and C-3PO. Also, in the Well of Souls, C-3PO and R2-D2 are among the figures on the wall of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

3. Debra Winger reportedly turned down the Marion Ravenwood role that eventually went to Karen Allen.

4. The movie’s funniest scene came about by accident. During the shoot in Tunisia, Ford caught dysentery and was too ill to film a long fight scene with an Egyptian swordsman. ”Let’s just shoot the f—er,” he said to Spielberg. So they did.

5. The monkey in the film was so uncooperative that hidden wires were needed to wrangle it around the set.
