Avril Lavigne Performs ‘Alice’ On Jay Leno

When ‘Alice’ from the Alice and Wonderland soundtrack was released by Avril Lavigne, I was not a fan. I’ve always liked Avril, but this song just didn’t catch my attention and I didn’t understand why the studio would put so much money and effort behind this song. The movie’s already generated a ton of buzz, it’s not like it needed a song from Avril Lavigne to get people to go see it.

After seeing Avril perform ‘Alice’ on the Jay Leno show last night, I’m starting to warm up to the song after all. Maybe it was the stage set up, maybe it was the band, whatever it was, Avril sounded amazing…if she was actually singing live. Check out her performance in this video from NeonLimeLight.com:

I’m excited for Avril’s return to the music scene. Hopefully, this is just a warm up for her.

Rapper 50 Cent To Drops 65 Pounds For Movie Role

50 Cent is going to be changing his famous muscular physique by dropping 65 pounds for an upcoming movie titled, “Things Fall Apart.”

Not only did 50 Cent co-write the screenplay, he will be acting in the film as well. The screenplay is about a college football player that is suffering from cancer, hence why he is losing so much weight.

The films co-producer Randall Emmett tells Variety, “Fifty is in the process of losing 65 pounds for the role.”

This isn’t the first time 50 Cent has been on the big screen. He starred along Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in 2008’s Righteous Kill, as well as in the semi-autobiographical film, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. “Things Fall Apart” is scheduled to begin shooting in Michigan in May following 50 Cent’s latest concert tour.

50 is gonna be skinny!

Madonna Attempts To Direct A Second Film

Madonna is going to direct another film. Remember the first and only movie she directed in 2008, “Filth and Wisdom,” was a huge flop!

The Queen of Pop wants return to the director’s chair to attempt directing her second film which is a drama based on the life of King Edward VII.

Starpulse is reporting Madonna is refusing to let the negative reviews put an early end to her career behind the camera. She has signed up to write and direct “W.E.,” the real-life story of Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.

It has been rumored that one of the stars of “Up in the Air,” Vera Farmiga, will be up for the role of Simpson.

Oh brother……we can pray her second attempt is better!

Carrie Underwood To Make Film Debut

It’s not enough to be just a country music superstar anymore. Now, you’ve got to act, as well.

Carrie Underwood is set to make her feature film debut in the indie-drama titled “Soul Surfer”, which is based on the life of teen surfing champ and shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton. Underwood will play a church youth leader. How appropriate…The film will also star Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid.

This isn’t Underwood’s first acting job, and it certainly won’t be her last. She recently filmed an episode of How I Met Your Mother and had her very own holiday variety special on tv. Underwood can also be seen stretching her acting chops in her most recent music video for ‘Temporary Home’. If that’s any indication, Underwood is turning into quite an actress.

Are you excited for Carrie’s film debut?

It’s a little of a different sound for her. It’s more of a country song than some of Taylor Swifts songs.Thoughts???

New Single From Avril Lavigne Coming Soon

Avril Lavigne’s long awaited new single ‘Alice Underground’ from the soundtrack to Tim Burton’s remake Alice In Wonderland will be released in March.

It is not clear if the song will double as her first official single off her forthcoming album, or if it will simply be on the film’s soundtrack.

Early reports claim that Lavigne’s new album will be a return to her more acoustic sound and less of the over-produced sound as heard on ‘Girlfriend’.

Mariah Carey’s Silly Acceptance Speech

At the Palm Springs International Film Festival last night, Mariah Carey was named Breatkthrough Actress for her role in Precious. However, the focus was more on how odd she behaved as she accepted the award. Did someone have a little too much to drink (or smoke)?

The Bravery’s Sam Endicott has written a track called ‘Monday Morning’ for Aguilera, which is being produced by Switch. Endicott recently worked with Shakira, M.I.A, and Santigold.
