Lily Cole Plans to Quit Modelling

The 21-year-old beauty plans to stop walking on the catwalk for good in order to focus on her acting career.

British supermodel Lily Cole is determined to put her catwalk career behind her for good - because she wants to concentrate full-time on acting.

The beauty recently put her fashion career on hold to study at England's prestigious Cambridge University and has taken roles in a string of films including "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" with the late Heath Ledger. Cole is now adamant her days as a full-time model are at an end, because her future lies in Hollywood.

She says, "I'd like to act and not really model so much. I wouldn't want to treat acting as a convenient thing to do now and again. I've been modelling for years and I feel like I've taken out of it what I need to and I'm ready for new things. I've really enjoyed the process of acting and I'd be more inclined to dedicate my time to that."

Court Hearing on Charlie Sheen Restraining Order Postponed

The hearing of Charlie Sheen's case which was due to go on January 4, has been delayed until January 11.


Charlie Sheen will have to wait another week to learn if he is allowed contact with his wife Broke Mueller after their court date relating to a protection order against the actor was postponed.

The "Two and a Half Men" star is facing charges of second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief after a domestic dispute with Mueller on Christmas morning (Dec 25, 2009) landed him in police custody in Aspen, Colorado. A restraining order banning Sheen from contacting his wife was put in place amid allegations he threatened Mueller with a knife during the heated argument.

Mueller's lawyer Yale Galanter revealed on Wednesday (Dec 30) he had filed papers in an Aspen court requesting permission to change the terms of the order, allowing the pair to resume contact "so they can work on resolving the conflicts in their marriage" - a move opposed by local prosecutors.

The case was due to go before a judge on Monday (Jan 4, 2010), but the hearing has now been delayed until January 11, according to TMZ.com.

Just few days before "Chuck" is back on the small screen, Zachary Levi has dished on third season of the NBC's series. Being interviewed by Zap2it during the break of the shooting in early December, the actor said the new Intersect will be "a little fritzy and glitchy, which lends itself to both the action and the comedy."

Additionally, Levi explained how Intersect 2.0 affects the upcoming season, telling Zap2it "[It's] kind of like 'The Matrix' and Neo a little bit, but not nearly as cool as that, because Chuck is just not the coolest character in the world." Then, at the end of video, he playfully showed a move from Chuck's action.

"Chuck" third season will be kicked off with a two-hour back-to-back episode on Sunday, January 10, at 8/7c. It then moves to the regular slot on Monday, January 11 at 9/8c being the lead of "Heroes" until February 8 and being the partner of "Parenthood" starting March 1.

Some of the guest stars for the season are Vinnie Jones who possesses "Guy Ritchie villain energy", Armand Asante who fits to play a Castro-type dictator, Robert Patrick as a soldier from Casey's past, and Stone Cold Steve Austin who is a "terrifying" baddie Chuck trapped in a plane with. Additionally, former "Smallville" actress Kristin Kreuk will make an appearance in the fifth episode as Hannah, a Buy More employee whom Chuck meets during a flight.

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Becomes National Treasure in U.S. History

The King of Pop's classic 'Thriller' video will be preserved as a national treasure in U.S. history along with 1979's 'The Muppet Movie', 1957 sci-fi epic 'The Incredible Shrinking Man', and others.

Michael Jackson's classic "Thriller" video will go down in U.S. history as a national treasure - the 1983 promo is set to be inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. The work of the late King of Pop is the first music video to make it into the archives, which preserves original copies of classic film, TV and other recordings at the Packard Campus of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center near Culpeper, Virginia.

However, Library officials will have to battle to obtain a copy of the horror video for preservation because it's currently the subject of a lawsuit between music video director John Landis and the tragic star's estate. Landis, who directed and co-wrote the "Thriller" script, filed suit against Jackson in January 2009, claiming he's owed royalties for his work on the video.

"Thriller" will be entered into registry on Wednesday, December 30 alongside 24 other films including 1979's "The Muppet Movie", 1957 sci-fi epic "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968), and "Jezebel" (1938), which starred Bette Davis.
