Bruce Willis to Sue Apple?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Industry News, Rumors, iTunes,

Bruce WillisBruce Willis is considering taking legal action against Apple.

The 57-year-old actor wants to leave to his huge digital music collection to his daughters - Rumer, 24, Scout, 20, and 18-year-old Tallulah, whom he has with ex-wife Demi Moore - after he dies but iTunes customers are only allowed to "borrow" tracks rather than own them outright.

Digital campaigners Open Rights Group are backing Bruce in his challenge. "You can't resell downloads to friends - and are not allowed to leave them in your will. It's great that Bruce Willis is challenging it," said Jim Killock, of Open Rights Group.

Bruce - who also has five-month-old daughter Mabel with wife Emma Heming - has spent thousands on his music collection, which reportedly includes songs by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, and downloaded his tunes onto "many, many iPods." The Sixth Sense actor is thought to be thinking of asking his legal team to suggest to Apple that family trusts could be the "holders" of his downloaded music.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,

Jessica Biel and Justin TimberlakeJustin Timberlake gives his fiancée Jessica Biel fashion advice.

The Total Recall actress admitted that if he doesn't like her outfit he will ask her to change clothing and even makes suggestions on what she should wear instead. "We both really love fashion. There are definitely moments where I'll come out in an outfit and he'll give me that look! He'll take me back into the closet and I'll change my shoes and I'm like, 'Yeah, this is way better.' Sometimes I won't change," she told The Sun.

The star recently admitted she has done "almost nothing" about planning her upcoming wedding to Justin. She revealed she is simply making the most of her relationship status and not rushing the process: "I'm just enjoying being engaged."

No wedding date appears to be set, despite rumors of a ceremony taking place later this summer. "I do feel like there is a lot of time and nothing needs to be rushed. But being engaged is just absolutely amazing. You're in this romantic, ahhhhh, breathless moment that I'm just trying to extend as long as possible," she added.

Robert PattinsonRobert Pattinson gets his fashion advice from Gucci's creative director.

The Twilight Saga heartthrob likes the Italian fashion house to dress him for his public appearances and relies upon emergency last-minute fashion advice from the brand's creative director, Frida Giannini.

"She taught me one thing - you should definitely have good contacts at Gucci. They're absolutely amazing. The amount of times I've been stuck in some random city and have called her up and had things brought in at absolutely the last minute - it's crazy. You can do quite crazy things [with color] if you have incredibly classic, really well-made suits. I guess I've been quite boring for a while. I used to be more interesting with them. Now I always just request things two days before: 'Can you send 25 suits?' I don't even know what I want to wear!" Robert told the British edition of GQ.

Alexander Skarsgard Becomes the Face of Calvin Klein

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

Alexander SkarsgardAlexander Skarsgard has become the new face of Calvin Klein.

The Battleship actor has signed a deal with the fashion house to front its latest campaign for one of its male fragrances. Alexander is believed to have shot the ads two months ago although all other information is being kept quiet for the moment.

This is not the first time the True Blood star has appeared in a fashion campaign. Two years ago he was the face of suitmaker Hickey Freeman in an ad campaign shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz. Hickey Freeman's creative director Joseph Abboud had said of Alexander's role, "We want to attract the younger and younger-thinking customer. Hickey Freeman was much more traditional under the old regime. It lacked sex appeal."

The Swedish heartthrob recently revealed how he likes to pay tribute to his home country by wearing a lot of their fashion brands: "I'm interested in fashion and I love a lot of Swedish brands: Acne, Whyred, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair and Hope."


Jude Law’s Manicure Obsession

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Jude LawJude Law is obsessed with manicures.

The actor hates it when his nails are not neat and tidy and regularly has treatments on his hands: "I'm obsessed with nail cutting. I've had manicures. I've become a bit obsessed about my nails. Playing a sailor in the play Anna Christie, I had to shove black make-up under my nails and couldn't scrub it all out for two months - it was a nightmare. I'm proud to say that my kids come to me, not their mum, to have their nails cut."

Although Jude takes care of his appearance, he doesn't like it when men appear to have taken too much time to look good.

"Men shouldn't be too groomed. I love the ritual of getting ready for an event, but you can tell when a guy has been standing in front of a mirror for too long. Over-trimmed beards, over-styled hair, perfecting a look for hours and pretending it's effortless - do me a favor! My routine is shower, aftershave and, until recently, trimming my beard, which I've had for nearly a year for Anna Karenina."


Marilyn Manson Amused by Johnny Depp Track

Johnny Depp and Marilyn MansonMarilyn Manson and Johnny Depp found covering "You're So Vain" "amusing."

The rocker and the actor have collaborated on a version of Carly Simon's classic song - which features as bonus material on the "Beautiful People" hitmaker's new album Born Villain - and Manson thinks the track is a perfect representation of how people think of himself and his pal, who plays drums and guitar on the recording.

"We started jamming - I don't even like to use that word because I think it sounds too musical and I consider myself to be more of a problem-maker than a musician. We ended up thinking, what could we do that would be really amusing to both of us because of what people think about us? 'You're So Vain' really says it all," he explained.

Marilyn Manson's last two albums, Eat Me, Drink Me and The High End of Low, received disappointing reviews and poor sales, and the singer admits he went through a "confusing" time but is now confident with himself again.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Conventions, Movies, Independent,

Shia LaBeoufShia LaBeouf writes his own comic books. The Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull actor has drawn three comics, Stale N Mate, Cyclical and Let's... Party, and last week bought a table at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo to sell his work and autograph copies for fans.

"I just did it for fun. I had some downtime and I've always been a big fan of comic books. I've said it's like singing in the shower. It's very free and without edit," he said.

Of attending expo, he added the best thing was "having an opportunity to blend in with 5,000 fans all enjoying the same thing."

However, Shia - who is currently filming two movies, The Company You Keep and The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman - has no plans to give up acting and take up his hobby full time: "I do love acting. But this is a fun escape once in a while."

Adam Brody: ‘I Broke up Jennifer and Brad’

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Hook-ups,

Adam BrodyAdam Brody has joked he split up Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt.

The former O.C. star worked alongside Brad on 2005 action movie Mr & Mrs Smith - where he met Angelina Jolie and subsequently left wife Jennifer - and he believes he may have played a hand in the changes in the actor's personal life.

"In terms of [Brad and Angelina], I hooked them up. I was like, 'Brad, you don't want to do this, man, this Jen thing - I don't see it.' He heeded my advice and I'm happy for him," he joked.

Discussing his own career, Adam - who is currently starring in Damsels in Distress, and has previously had parts in Jennifer's Body and The Ring - admits he picks movie roles according to his own personal tastes: "It's funny. I have been practical, but when I do look at my resume it does reflect my taste. Some I like more than others, but it does, by and large, reflect my taste, more than I think it would. [Especially] given how many things I've been willing to do that I don't personally care for."
