A sequel to The Avengers has been confirmed.
The Marvel superhero movie - which features well known comic characters including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk - has been a huge box-office success and Disney are already planning a second insllalment.
"[The success of the film] is a great illustration of why we like Marvel so much," Disney CEO Bob Iger said, adding that demand for merchandise associated with the film has been strong. However, it will be some time before the Avengers sequel comes out with Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and possibly Captain America 2 all set to shoot first.
Stan Lee, the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics, who created many of the characters, recently revealed his hopes for the addition of some new characters in the sequel: "Oh, I'd be happy if they add Black Panther and maybe Dr Strange. Those two and probably Ant-Man, which I think they are working on. Maybe I'll play a little role in that."

Forgotten Comics: Quincy by Ted Shearer
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials,
My local newspaper never carried Quincy by Ted Shearer, but I would occasionally see the strip in The Baltimore Sun when visiting family. I liked its “urban Peanuts” vibe, and I really liked Shearer’s artwork.
I recently snagged - thank you library book sale - a long-out-print copy of Quincy’s World, one of the type of once-ubiquitous reprint paperbacks that used to pop up in drug stores and newsstands back in the day. I read through it in one sitting and it was just as good, perhaps even better, than I remembered.
Quincy is a sort of “everykid” in the tradition of other comic strip archetypes like Skippy, Charlie Brown and Tiger. What makes him unique is his optimism, and his light-hearted outlook on his downscale urban setting. Quincy, the strip, is set in a city environment, in a low rent neighborhood populated by rundown buildings, broken fences, and abandoned lots.

Jennifer Lopez Couldn’t Bond with Twins
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
Jennifer Lopez struggled to bond with her children when they were born.
The 42-year-old What To Expect When You're Expecting star realized less than two weeks into becoming a mother that she wasn't naturally connecting to her twins Max and Emmie.
"I remember after the babies were born, about seven to 10 days in, I was like, 'What is going on with me?' I felt sad and depressed and thought the babies didn't love me," she said.
The "On The Floor" singer who is now dating dancer Casper Smart explained that the novel which her latest film is based on helped her get through the rough patch: "I actually remember picking up the book to try to see what was happening to me. And it said how you have this huge hormonal drop about seven to 10 days after you give birth. It's called the 'baby blues.' But I just thought they didn't like me!"
Lindsay Lohan Settles Battery Lawsuit

Lindsay Lohan has settled a dispute with a Betty Ford worker according to reports.
The actress - who was accused of being violent with a member of staff at the rehabilitation clinic in 2010 - is said to have paid off the worker. At the time, Lohan said she was provoked by the alleged victim, Dawn Holland, and may have injured her in self-defense. The woman sued the 25-year-old star following the occurrence where she was apparently opposed to taking a breathalyzer test.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant appeared intoxicated at the time and Holland says she grabbed her right wrist, "twisting and pulling it for eight to 10 seconds." According to TMZ, the case was closed for an undisclosed amount.
Last week it emerged that Lohan has escaped any criminal charges for her alleged hit-and-run in March.
Jude Law’s Manicure Obsession
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Jude 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."
Nicki Minaj Can’t Tone Down
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Nicki Minaj worries she always has to be outlandish.
The "Starships" singer is known for her eccentric outfits and outspoken attitude and thinks she now always has to be like that because it will disappoint people if she relaxes.
"So much is taken out of you that you lose yourself. I feel like I've set the bar too high, so I always have to be 'on.' I can identify with Marilyn Monroe in that people saw a beautiful woman, but inside was a fragile little girl," she said.
Nicki also admitted she hopes to replicate the success of hip hop mogul Jay-Z, who is involved in a variety of business ventures, including music, sport, and clubs. Discussing her song "HOV Lane," she said, "That's got so many meanings. It's the HOV Lane, which is the fast lane on the highway and Hov is Jay-Z and it talks about him being a male mogul who's done so much. That's what I want to do. I don't know if the industry is sexist or if it's just that women haven't tried to pursue the goals of being a mogul before. I can only say I'm attempting to become a mogul and doing things I've seen guys in this business do."
