Owen Wilson Is 'Marmaduke'

The 'Marley and Me' star has signed on to lend his voice to the Winslow family's Great Dane named Marmaduke in the feature adaptation for Brad Anderson's long-running comic strip.

Owen Wilson has jumped from one dog movie to another as he signs on for "Marmaduke". Having been seen portraying the owner of a hyper-actively handful Labrador in "Marley & Me", the 40-year-old actor will provide the voice of the titular character, which happens to be a Great Dane.

With the signing in, Wilson joins the likes of Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie, Emma Stone, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Steve Coogan, Damon Wayans and Marlon Wayans who will supply the voices. He is following the steps of Bill Murray in voicing famous comic strip animal. Murray lent his voice to the lasagna-loving cat "Garfield".

"Marmaduke" is adapted by Tim Rasmussen and Vince Di Meglio from Brad Anderson's comic strip about the Winslow family who moves from Kansas to Orange County with their chaos-ensuing dog Marmaduke. The movie will follow Marmaduke as he navigates a volatile Mutts vs. Pedigrees turf war, woos the purebred of his dreams and overcomes a fall from grace. 20th Century Fox aims to release this live-action/CG canine comedy in the U.S. on June 4, 2010.

Tiffany Thornton Slams Rude Fans, Says Celebrities Aren't Super-Human

Tiffany complains about some rude fans and asks them to be kinder to celebrities because they are not super-human.

Chosen as this week's girl on Girl2Watch.com., Tiffany Thornton shares with the site the ups and downs of living her life under the spotlight, one of which is dealing with rude fans. "Celebrities are in the spotlight and people look up to us, but at times people can say very hurtful things. We're not super-human, and things can hurt our feelings," she complains.

"I recently I took a Twitter break because fans say really mean things on there," she reveals. "I don't know why Miley Cyrus doesn't have a Twitter any more, I'm not sure why, but I think that the fans need to understand that we're human too, and if you don't like us, if you don't like my music or if you don't like the way I act, that's totally fine."

"I don't expect everyone to like me. I don't expect everyone to think that I'm talented in certain areas. People have different tastes. But keep it to yourself. If you're going to put out energy towards something, put out energy for something positive or don't put it out at all, because all it does is tear other people down."

Tiffany continues telling Girl2Watch.com, "There's days when I call Demi Lovato and I'm crying and I'm like, 'Listen, this fan said something that was just really rude.' And she's like, 'I know. It happens to me all the time and there's just people out there that do that.' It does come with the territory."

Despite all, the Tawni Hart of TV series "Sonny with a Chance", concludes "I'm lucky to have people like Demi in my life and Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus and friends that go through the same thing that I can talk to about it, and they can give me advice and vice versa."

Tracklisting for Allison Iraheta's 'Just Like You'

Thirteen tracks, one of which comes from production hands of Kevin Rudolf, are going to appear in Allison Iraheta's December 1 release 'Just Like You'.

What songs will make it to Allison Iraheta's debut album "Just Like You" have been obtained via Walmart. Aside from already-outed single "Friday I'll Be Over You", it also has Kevin Rudolf-produced track "Beat Me Up" and a song called "You Don't Know Me" which she wrote with David Hodges.

Allison previously opened up to Entertainment Weekly on what "Beat Me Up" revolves around. "It's a pretty rad song. This chick likes being mistreated by her guy. A lot of girls out there, they like that! And it's kind of sad, but y'know, that's just the way she is. Not that I'm like that because I'd beat the hell out of whoever the hell mistreats me! I put myself in another girl's shoes, so it's a pretty cool song," she said.

Explaining about the message she tries to convey through "You Don't Know Me" meanwhile, she stated, "It's out there for people who pre-judge, who pretty much judge a book by its cover. It's pretty simple, but it definitely focuses on how people talk before they even know someone or something, how they talk out of their butts and they just don't know what they're saying."

"Just Like You" is plotted to be released across U.S. on December 1. Most recently, Allison tweeted about re-recording its lead single "Friday I'll Be Over You" in Spanish.

"Just Like You" tracklisting:

1. "Friday I'll Be Over You"

Video: Rihanna to Tell All About Chris Brown's Assault on TV

She will first have an interview in "Good Morning America", before then appearing in "20/20".

Nearly a year after she was assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown, Rihanna is set to make her first ever TV appearance on ABC later this week, during when she will tell all about the incident. The network has confirmed her scheduled appearance on its "Good Morning America" and "20/20" through a less than one minute promo video.

Rihanna will first appear in "Good Morning America" at 7 A.M. on Thursday, November 5. Then, the following day she will come to "20/20" at 10/9c. The songstress herself hasn't addressed the report just yet.

Rihanna was battered by Chris Brown during a heated argument inside a car in Los Angeles back on February 8. The pair had since broken up. Chris, as a result of the incident, was sentenced to 5 years probation, 180 days of community labor and 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling.

He, additionally, was ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, except at industry gatherings when the distance is shortened to 10 yards, and not to have any contact with her, which includes phone, e-mail and text communications.

Rihanna, in the meantime, is waiting in anticipation for the release of her new album "Rated R" on date 23 later this month. She is also booked for a live performance on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas on date 19.

Rights to 'Terminator' Franchise to Be Auctioned Off

Halcyon, the production company behind 'Terminator Salvation', puts the rights on the block in November, with Sony Pictures rumored as the leading contender.

The rights to the "Terminator" feature film franchise are up for grabs. The Financial Times reported that Halcyon, the production company behind "Terminator Salvation" will auction off the rights this November "in a deal that will test Hollywood intellectual property valuations at a time when film industry profits are under pressure from falling DVD sales."


Since "Terminator" is a rare example of a blockbuster film franchise not controlled by a big studio, the sale has reportedly drawn interest from every major studio as well as several financial buyers, which include Summit Entertainment, Media Rights Capital and Platinum Equity. Sony Pictures, who distributed "Salvation" around the world, is said to be the leading contender.

The rights are being sold by Halcyon after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after a dispute with Pacificor, a Santa Barbara-based hedge fund that lent Halcyon funds to buy the rights to the popular film series. While the auction does not cover earlier "Terminator" films, the winning bidder will get the rights to make new films, TV series and other spin-offs.

The last "Terminator" movie to hit big screen was "Terminator Salvation". Coming from director McG and starred by Christian Bale and Sam Worthington, the action thriller was released on May 21 in the U.S. and lost the opening weekend box office battle to "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian". Still, it went on to collect $371.4 million worldwide.

Kristen Stewart: 'I Don't Want to Be Like Angelina Jolie'

"Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I'm an actor. It's bizarre to me that everybody's so obsessive," so she complains.

Kristen Stewart just can't stop complaining about her fame, which as she has said for several times intrudes her private life. "I don't want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie", she tells Fabulous. "Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I'm an actor. It's bizarre to me that everybody's so obsessive."

The depicter of Bella Swan in "Twilight" goes on comparing the vampire film's leading character Edward Cullen, which is played by Robert Pattinson, to the concept of celebrity. "Edward is actually a really good parallel to fame. As a vampire he has a sad, desolate life - fame is the same," she explains.

Claiming her fame after starring in 2002 flick "Panic Room", Kristen Stewart becomes more famous after her film "Twilight" was released last year. It was since that time she receives more media attention and always followed by a throng of paparazzi wherever she goes.

The 19-year-old actress has often complained about living under the spotlight. Most recently she told the November issue of Allure magazine how she is often criticized by people just because she has non-Hollywood glamor style.

"I go outside, and I'm wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, 'What's wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush.' I'm like, 'Don't you get it? I'm not that girl!' " she complained. "I never was that girl. It's not like I was really clean-cut last year."
