Admitting in an interview with The B96 Morning Show that she feels much better now that she has quit Twitter, Miley Cyrus wasn't hesitant to say she thinks the site should be banned from the universe.

Exclusive Interview: Shwayze on New Album, Tour and Movie Project

Shwayze says 'Let It Beat' has lots of catchy songs, 'Party RockTour' will be full of sexy girls and he will show his comedic side in 'Get Jack's Tickets'.

Along with Cisco Adler, Shwayze rose to stardom through singles "Buzzin' " as well as "Corona and Lime". Becoming talks of the town since cracking Billboard Hot 100, they are determined to share more music with their fans by following up their debut album "Shwayze" with another record called "Let It Beat" and hitting the road for a tour.

In the spirit of the effort which will hit U.S. market on November 3, Shwayze exclusively told AceShowbiz about what they have to offer in the album. He promised there will be lots of catchy tunes and a duet with Snoop Dogg. The rapper also addressed what to expect from his upcoming "Party RockTour" and movie project "Get Jack's Tickets" as well as rumor of him collaborating with Kanye West.

ASB: When did you first find out about your passion in music?

Shwayze: I've always known...I've always loved music. It has always been a huge part of my life.

ASB: In what kind of circumstance are you mostly active in writing music?

Shwayze: I typically write when I'm in the concert environment...in the studio, on the road, on the bus or whenever I'm bored.

ASB: How is "Let It Beat" different from the debut album?

Shwayze: The first record was the first time Cisco and I ever did anything together so it was an experiment. It was then Cisco taught me about song structure and about the art of recording. When we got a chance to make the second record our focus was different and we wanted to take it to the next level in all aspects...production wise and lyrically.

ASB: You experienced a chart success early in your career. Do you feel the pressure when crafting the sophomore set?

Shwayze: Naw, I think excitement and nervousness are similar emotions. We'd been traveling for 8 months straight playing music we created 2 years before. When we finally got a break we wanted nothing more than to make new music! For our fans, but mostly for ourselves. For us it's about the music, so we handle that and worry about the critics later.

ASB: What would be the second single after "Get U Home"? And why?

Shwayze: That's hard! There are a few candidates.. I mean it could be 'Maneatrr', 'Livin' It Up', 'Down at the Motel', 'Crazy 4 U'. Cisco is a hook master so they're all catchy as hell!

ASB: How did it feel to score music for "Sorority Row" and film a music video with those beautiful ladies?

Shwayze: It was classic.. The whole thing from shooting the video with the cast to seeing it in the film, which I actually liked!

ASB: Could you please confirm at least one guest artist who will appear in your album?

Shwayze: We got uncle Snoop [Dogg] on the record. He appears on a song called 'Livin' It Up'. A song for the haters.

ASB: We see that you make a duet with Kanye West on the remix of song "Rock N Roll". Tell us how you guys first met and decided to collaborate.

Shwayze: That's a rumor! When I heard I called my manager like 'We got Kanye!?' Haha we'll collab in the future for sure.

ASB: What kind of fiesta fans can expect from the upcoming "Party RockTour"?

Shwayze: Pinatas y caliente mamacitas. [pinatas and sexy girls]

ASB: So, there's this feature movie project "Get Jack's Tickets". What is your role in that?

Shwayze: I don't want to give it away.. Just know that it's hilarious and hopefully the first of many.

ASB: Please leave a message for AceShowbiz's readers and tell them why they should buy your album!

Shwayze: If you buy our record the person you love will call you tonight! Send this to 10 people or 7yrs [of] bad sex...

Look forward to Shwayze being AceShowbiz.com's Artist of the Week on Monday, November 2.

'True Blood' Spoilers: June Premiere, Naked Eric and More

Find out who will be back for the third season even though he's dead, what Sookie and Bill are up to and what the theme of the third season is.

It has just been confirmed at the Paley Center for Media that "True Blood" will be back for the third season in June 2010, the same time frame when season 2 debuted. During the panel held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, creator Alan Ball and other writers such as Raelle Tucker and Alexander Woo came out with a lot of spoilers for the new season.

First thing first, Ball answered the question about season 2's cliffhanger where Bill was abducted by an unknown person. Ball spilled that fans need not wait long because it will be revealed immediately in the first episode. Another juicy spoiler would be shirtless Eric. "Alexander Skarsgard appears without most of his clothes in the very first episode of season 3," Ball revealed.

On which characters will strut back, Ball said, "There are a big boatload of new characters in season. Even the Newlins may appear again." He also confirmed that Evan Rachel Wood will return as Queen of Louisiana, something which the audience at the panel were not too excited about. Pam and Nan Flagan will also show up. Interestingly, one dead character which will be resurrected in the form of flashback would be Godric.

Regarding the fate of Sookie, Ball said, "There will be more conjecture about what she is and she will be more driven to discover what she is." In fact the theme for the third season would be "Identity". Her relationship with Bill may not be a smooth ride in season 3 but they "have a connection that will not die."

The third season is based on Charlaine Harris' third book "Club Dead". Ball said that he has a responsibility to stay true to the book but then there would be no surprises.

'Desperate Housewives' May Air Until 2013

Feeling that Marc Cherry is a special part of ABC, the network has stretched his contract to two more years.

Despite being crashed and burnt in an upcoming episode, Wisteria Lane will survive at least three more years. The creator of "Desperate Housewives", Marc Cherry, has agreed with ABC to a deal that will keep him as the executive producer and show runner of the dramedy for two more years. He was previously committed until 2011.

The show is currently airing its sixth season. With the new deal, it may extend up to season 9. However, it is not set in stone yet that "Desperate" will run until 2013 because the principal cast members of the show have not struck a deal.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Cherry would develop a new series for ABC together with "Desperate" producer Alexandra Cunningham. As a measure, ABC has anticipated Cherry's less presence on "Desperate" by signing Bob Daily to run the day to day operation should the new project take off.

The other project that Cherry has been working on for the network would be a multi-camera comedy about two very different brothers. One is gay and the other is straight but they share a gynecological practice, Variety reported.

On why Cherry's works are featured prominently on ABC, Entertainment Group topper Steve McPherson said that Cherry is a "special part" of the network. "For me it's been an amazing collaboration. It's wonderful to know that he'll be around. The new stuff that he's already working on is a huge priority for us," he said.

On another news, "Desperate Housewives" will welcome the voice of Homer Simpson of "The Simpsons" to a future episode. Dan Castellaneta will play the pilot of a small plane that crashes down on Wisteria Lane during a Christmas party. Some characters will die because of the accident.

Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' Off to a Solid Start

This music-filled documentary kicks off its run to the top of the box office with more than 2 million dollars from its first late-night screenings in North America alone.

Michael Jackson's "This Is It" is well on its way to the crowned #1 spot at the box office. The Associated Press reported the movie that compiled the late King of Pop's rehearsal footage has collected an estimated $2.2 million from its first late-night screenings on Tuesday, October 27 in the U.S. and Canada alone.

While the documentary hasn't approached any major box-office records so far, Sony Pictures has claimed that the opening night numbers were "unprecedented" for a Tuesday in October. Considering that "This Is It" opened on a weeknight outside of the summer, the Kenny Ortega-directed movie did pull a strong number.

Still, it came nowhere close to the $13.2 million "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" collected on its Thursday night advance evening screenings in 2006. It also came short to obtain the best Tuesday night advance results, which still goes to 1996's "Independence Day" with its $11.1 million.

The movie expanded to a wide release on Wednesday, October 28, and the studio has reported that the early Wednesday matinee numbers have already surpassed the film's haul from the Tuesday night figures. Executives experienced in tracking box office suggested that this music-filled documentary is likely to sell $10 million to $12 million worth of tickets domestically on Wednesday.

These initial numbers pointed out on the likelihood of "This Is It" becoming a top-grossing music documentary. "As a genre, concert movies and even documentaries aren't usually the type of films to bring in big box-office bucks, but because of his name and also the timing of it, I think it's a winner," said Hollywood.com's box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "That $60 million investment I think was worthwhile."

But, the real test for the movie will come Friday, October 30. The Halloween weekend will place it to be in competition against scary movies such as "Paranormal Activity" and "Saw VI". The theater business usually faced cuts in ticket sales as many moviegoers opt to skip movies in favor of parties.

"This Is It" offers a behind-the-scenes footage of Michael preparing for a series of the O2 London shows he was rehearsing before he passed away on June 25. It compiles more than 100 hours of video footage concert promoter AEG Live shot during April, May and June 2009, and has just been released in theaters worldwide for a limited two-week engagement.
