Weekend Reading: Avengers, Starlin, Finger and Bagge
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Reviews, Independent, Marvel Comics,
Next week, we'll all be talking about Men In Black III, but this week was still a lot of chatter about Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Let's hit that:
Avengers creators assemble! Here’s a short but excellent interview with Jim Starlin, courtesy of Hero Complex and Geoff Boucher. It’s super-spoilery so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t click!
And speaking of Avengers, here’s writer Lance Mannion’s review, titled “The Romance Of Tony Stark.”
Tim at Balloon Juice views The Avengers: “It’s a Whedon movie, and quite a good one. Every other line of dialogue could end up on a t-shirt, characters come across as layered and real, conflicts involve profound philosophical differences where it is only sometimes clear who has the ‘right’ side of it, and one or more title character will have a very near-death experience.”

Ultraverse Returns!
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Interviews, Movies, Marvel Comics,
Who knew that a corner of the internets would be talking about Malibu Comics' Ultraverse this week?
A recent podcast interview with Steve Englehart opened up the Ultraverse files with his belief about why Marvel won't publish Ultraverse titles or use the characters these days. Bleeding Cool linked to the podcast and a gathering of commenters soon followed.
BC followed up the original post with a subsequent one involving comments made by Marvel’s Tom Brevoort about BC’s original post.
Not to be outdone, Heidi at Comics Beat uncovered the news that Malibu Comics co-founder Scott Rosenberg's non-publishing IP holding company, Platinum Studios was having tremendous problems. That opened up a discussion of the origins of Men In Black, now that the new movie in the franchise is out.
So enjoy your blast from comics' past!

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,
The "Love the way You Lie" rapper is currently in the studio finishing the debut record with his hip-hop supergroup Slaughterhouse, but has also started gathering ideas for his next solo album.
"Right now, I'm actually finishing up everything on the Slaughterhouse album and kind of getting into my next record a little bit. That's basically the couple of things that I've been working on. I'm starting to toy with a new album, yes," he said.
Slaughterhouse sees Eminem team with fellow rappers Joel Ortiz, Joe Budden, Crooked I and Royce da 5'9" and he thinks they have are a much needed force in hip-hop: "I really feel like this group, hip-hop needs this, man, and I think people are going to see that when this album comes out man."

Louis Vuitton Named World’s Most Valuable Luxury Brand
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
The French fashion house - whose creative director is Marc Jacobs - took the title for a seventh consecutive year after being valued at $25.9 billion following a study based on analysis of company performance and consumer interviews conducted by global research company Millward Brown Optimor.
Louis Vuitton beat off competition from Hermes, which was second with $19.1 billion, and Swiss watchmakers Rolex were third with $7.17 billion.
"Luxury is seen as a good investment with people increasingly buying classic pieces rather than high fashion. Those who can afford it indulge, including young professionals who, increasingly unable to buy houses, are spending their disposable income on mid-tier luxury," Nick Cooper, managing director of Millward Brown Optimor, said in a statement.

Louis Vuitton to Collaborate with Yayoi Kusama
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Louis Vuitton is to team up with Yayoi Kusama for a new collection.
Marc Jacobs, creative director of the French fashion house - which last worked with Yayoi in February when it offered her financial support for her collection at the Tate Modern - is looking forward to teaming up with the Japanese artist again for the range because he "admires" her "endless" energy: "Her energy is just endless. Through the painstaking sort of obsession in each of her canvasses and installations that she's created, you see this world that never ends. I guess that's what I admire and that's what I respond to in terms of feeling for her and for her work."

Robert Pattinson Refused to Bare All for Cronenberg Film
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Foreign, Thrillers, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases,
The British heartthrob stars in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, and although he is a huge fan of the director and had promised to do anything he asked, he drew the line at frontal nudity.
"Five minutes before we filmed, David told me, 'I want to see the bottom of your balls on the top of the frame.' At the moment, I reminded myself that I would do anything for him. So I went back to see him and told him that wouldn't happen. He took it really well. At the start, it's a very bizarre scene that you won't see again in another movie, I promise," he said.
While he enjoyed making the movie - based on the novel by Don DeLillo - he admitted he was anxious he wouldn't be good enough for the role: "I spent two weeks in a hotel room worrying and confusing myself."

Alec Baldwin Set to Marry Hilaria Thomas in Cannes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Weddings, Rumors,
The 30 Rock star is currently shooting a documentary in Cannes, France, but friends of the couple believe they are hoping to tie the knot after the film festival closes on Sunday.
"They've been telling people they'll be spending time in Europe, and there's speculation they're going to get married," a source told Page Six.
Alec proposed to Hilaria - who was born on the Spanish island of Mallorca and grew up in Spain and the US - last month, after almost a year of dating.
Alec - who has a 16-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger - recently revealed he was considering having children with Hilaria: "Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that would be great, that would be heaven, that would be fantastic. As my friend said to me, 'When you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp."
Has Kelly Preston Left John Travolta?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
The 49-year-old actress is said to have told friends she has "had enough" following a string of allegations against the star of sexual misconduct from a number of male masseurs, and the publication of pictures the star dressed as a woman at a private event in 1997.
"Kelly told me their marriage is over and made it clear that she's no longer living in the family home. She's put up with John's double life for decades while his behavior remained in the shadows. But all this coming out in public has humiliated her. Kelly is absolutely destroyed," a source told The National Enquirer.
The photographs, which were obtained by The National Enquirer, show the 58-year-old actor at a party in Los Angeles wearing a white dress with a bra visible underneath, a brown belt, fur stole, earrings and a necklace, and wears eyeliner, pink lipstick and a blonde wig.
