'Thor' Costume Tests Described

Watching part of the preparation for the upcoming superhero film, President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige claims, 'It was unlike anything we've ever put on film before!'


As "Thor" is scheduled to start production later in January, crew and cast have begun preparing for the making of the film. Most recently, this upcoming Kenneth Branagh-directed movie had costume tests, which have been described by President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige through his statement posted on Marvel official website.

"To be honest the thing that I'm most excited about right now though, is the screen test we just finished for 'Thor'," Feige shared. "We've done some costume tests and watching the Asgardians walk onto the sound stage takes me back to that first time I saw the 'X-Men' on the set all together in Toronto. Only it was unlike anything we've ever put on film before!"

"It's great to be starting the next decade in such an exciting way just as we did last decade," he additionally said on the superhero movie project. "We're really redefining the comic book genre and what a Marvel movie can be. It's going to be great."

"Thor" is an epic adventure that spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. The story centers on Chris Hemsworth's Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior, who is cast down to Earth due to his reckless actions, but he later learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of Asgard tries to invade Earth. The film is slated for a May 20, 2011 release date in the U.S.

Kanye West Blogging About Making New Album, Vowing to Bring the Best

Promising to offer the same dedication that Kobe Bryant has on the court, Kanye West writes, 'It's funny how so many rappers get worse as their careers stretch out but true poets get better.'


Kanye West wrote on his official blog that he has started working on his next studio album. The rapper who avoided the spotlight following 2009 MTV Video Music Awards which saw him interrupting Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech also shared what inspires him for the forthcoming record.

Kanye began his post which was written in all-cap letters by thanking fans for their on-going support. He then continued, "I will bring you the best I have to offer with the same dedication that Kobe [Bryant] has on the court. It's funny how so many rappers get worse as their careers stretch out but true poets get better."

Kanye went on citing his inspirations, "We will follow in the footsteps of Maya Angelou, Gill Scott Herron and Nina Simone. Their work improved with time. They documented what was happening in culture. That is our responsibility as the modern day artists and poets, to accurately represent what is happening now, so when the powers that be try to rewrite history you can always look at our works and find truth and sincerity in a world of processed information."

"Let us soak in positive forces and look down on upon those who masquerade as truth tellers and objective fact givers when in reality everything that is projected has an agenda of brainwashing us, the 'consumer', the public, to believe what they want us to. Let us look past headlines and deal with just a bit of reality in this new decade. We have our own outlets now. We don't have to believe everything anymore. Now I'll figure out a way to make that rhyme."

On what he has in mind when recording songs like "I Invented Sex" and "Say Aah", Trey Songz told MTV, "Conceptually I wanna think outside the box.

I'm just trying to make hits and classic records that people can vibe to and live their life."

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.
