Product Description
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn’t expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)—a boy who’s hiding a dark secret: he’s a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey. Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers.

Lily Collins, the daughter of famous music legend Phil Collins, is going to make a guest appearance in The CW’s teen series, 90210. The beautiful 19 year old, who has been working as a model, is expected to be in two episodes, airing May 12th and May 19th. She will play the rival of the show’s lead character, Annie Wilson (played by Shenae Grimes).

The young stunner also works as a correspondent for Nickelodeon. She is a member of the kids channels’ Election Connection Team, covering election conventions and has been hosting updates on music, fashion, movies and celebrities on the said channel. She has a knack for working in front of the cameras that for college,  she is pursuing broadcast journalism at the USC. She also writes for CosmoGIRL with her column, Lily’s Trend Watch.

For her work as a correspondent, she has already received recognition from the 2008 Young Hollywood Awards.

Modeling opened windows for her when she was discovered by Tommy Hilfiger on a flight from NY to Los Angeles, shuttling between her mother and her father’s house. Though her parents are already divorced, she maintains a close relationship with Phil Collins.

Says Lily of her father in this interview from two years ago: He’s so funny and so supportive. We always talk on the phone; we watch movies; we have inside jokes. I love hanging out with him in New York. We both love the theatre, so we’ll often go to a show. And he knows all the cool places that I’d never know about, like some secret restaurant hidden beneath a terrace. He’s dubbed ‘the shy guy’, but to me he’s not shy. He wrote a song for me called ‘You’ll Be In My Heart’, for Tarzan the musical. That song is very, very close to me.

The 90210 guest appearance is listed as Lily’s very first TV acting gig. Good luck to her!

And her teenager self is one that cleans up real nice but while this new image targets the same audience of kids ages five years old (and up to 16), I’m afraid little children will not love her as much.

Do you like the new image?

Well before the third installment of High School Musical hit theaters last year, the fourth one was actually already in the works and the story was being written inside the walls of  the Disney Channel.

And this week, Disney has announced filming for High School Musical 4 should begin in the next two weeks in Utah.

This will be another TV movie  the company has scheduled to air on 2010 on the same channel.

Since the main characters from the first three installments have already graduated from high school, there would have to be a fresh batch of teen heartthrobs to star in this new musical this time around. But given that, does it mean Troy (played by Zac Efron), Gabriella (played by Vanessa Hudgens) Sharpay (played by Ashley Tisdale) and the other cast members won’t even make a special appearance?

Disney Channel President Rich Ross told the press Tuesday, that they may have some of the original cast back and that the fourth musical will “have a new story to tell”.

High School Musical is about young love, friendships, rivalries and kids finding their potentials. The film has launched the careers of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale and has inspired millions of teenagers around the world. The first two installments ran on the Disney Channel as a TV movie, while the third one, which saw the graduation of the main characters, played in theaters and earned $251 million at the box office, worldwide.

It seems the stars of Slumdog Millionaire are continuing to benefit from the movie’s good fortune. If you remember, the movie was adjudged Best Picture at the Oscar’s last February and it continuous to gain critical success. The most recent good news concerns Freida Pinto and her rumored cosmetics contract with Estee Lauder.

Though there are no confirmations from either the cosmetics company and Pinto’s talent agency, reports say Pinto would be a great spokesperson for the very popular make-up line. Estee Lauder opened its MAC Cosmetics store in Mumbai three years ago and are looking to expand the market in India. Hence, this would look like a really lovely partnership for them.

I wasn’t able to catch last week’s results show which explains why I am posting this today. If you’re a fan of the talent contest, American Idol, then I’m sure you already know who got in from the second group.

Adam Lambert was a sure choice. He’s miles apart from all the other contestants in terms of stage presence, impact and performance. But frankly, I’m not a fan of his singing voice. Allison Iraheta, who did a cool rendition of an Idol favorite (Alone by Heart) also earned a spot. I’m not too happy about Kris Allen making it to this batch, only because I was rooting for someone else. But I guess he earned his place anyway.

While #2 is a good place to be, analyst feels that the “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience”, which hit theaters over the weekend, was a disappointment. It seems the screaming teenage girls were outnumbered by those who preferred to watch the comedy, “Madea Goes to Jail” which logged in at #1 on its second week.

Meanwhile, the brothers made a surprise appearance in New York over the weekend in a suburban movie house that they used to go to as kids. The brothers were promoting the movie last Saturday, much to the delight of their legion of young fans.

I remember very clearly watching JD Fortune on the talent show he was part of, which resulted in him winning the coveted prize — as lead singer for the band, INXS. This was about three years ago, right?

Early on, JD showed attitude that would have said he’s a hard person to work with. But as many brilliant artists are like that, he really was still the most likely person to fit with the band’s sound and voice.

For two years, JD toured with the Australian rock band which should signal that all has been well with them. But alas, it apparently isn’t. The band fired JD very recently and news has it he is broke and is once again living out of his car, just like when he did before joining the talent contest.

Appearing on Entertainment Tonight Canada, JD Fortune says that the band members gave him a handshake and fired him while at the Hong Kong airport. He has confessed he’s been into cocaine and drugs while touring with the band. But INXS denies the sacking happened. According to the band’s strategist, Chris Murphy:

“Not only are we shocked by the claims, even the place the supposed incident was to have taken place is a mystery to the band. What annoys me the most after viewing Fortune’s interview is the bloody slant he makes toward the founding band members. These guys are the nicest people on this planet; they are not the people he portrays.”

According to Murphy, they were even scheduled to go on recording for the next projects.

“The band has always stated to me that Fortune’s services could potentially be contracted again when INXS next tour. In fact he was next on my list to call regarding a very big recording project I am putting together for INXS at present. I guess I have no reason to call him now.”

Should one feel sorry for JD or should one feel he actually deserve it?
