Barbra Streisand details love of design in new book
LOS ANGELES - It's not exactly opening your home to guests at a holiday party, but for film and singing star Barbra Streisand and her fans, it's pretty close. This week Streisand has seen her first book land in stores, but it's no memoir of star turns in films such as "Funny Girl" or "The Way We Were," nor does it recount the making of albums that have sold over 71 million copies.
Black Eyed Peas to play coveted Super Bowl slot
LONDON - The Black Eyed Peas will perform during the halftime break at the Super Bowl on February 6 next year, the U.S. band announced on its website.

"Norwegian Wood" director Tran cuts through language barrier
TOKYO - Adapting a bestselling novel like "Norwegian Wood" for the cinema can be a tough task for any director, but try making the film in a language you can't speak. That's the challenge Vietnamese-French filmmaker Tran Anh Hung faced in bringing the Haruki Murakami story of love and loss to the screen 23 years after the book enchanted millions of Japanese readers and raised the author's profile globally.
Auction houses eye Russian recovery ahead of sales
LONDON - Rich Russians return to London next week for a series of art sales which auctioneers hope will prove the once-booming market is on a path to growth. Estimates suggest expectations are for solid gains on last year, although they are likely to prove far less spectacular than the astronomic prices being paid by Chinese buyers for Chinese art in recent sales ranging from London to Hong Kong.

Getting inside the head of film director Tim Burton
TORONTO - In a long career, director Tim Burton has distinguished himself as the top Hollywood director for things weird, wacky, macabre and beautiful with his films ranging from "Edward Scissorhands" to "Alice in Wonderland." Last year, New York's Museum of Modern Art launched an exhibition covering the 52-year-old filmmaker's career in art and movies, and it became an instant hit.
DiCaprio says "Inception" script was "confusing"
LOS ANGELES - The making of "Inception" presented an immense technical challenge for the cast and crew -- starting with comprehending director Christopher Nolan's complex dream-caper script. Star Leonardo DiCaprio told The Hollywood Reporter that even he needed time to figure out the many layers of the story.
Experts say publicist's murder is "solvable"
LOS ANGELES - As the inquiry into the killing of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen enters its second week, prominent criminal investigators say that the apparent targeted nature of the crime makes the case solvable. The Beverly Hills Police Department is not revealing details of the investigation, but a city official says the police's working theory centers on the November 16 attack being planned, rather than a result of road rage or a carjacking gone awry. Despite suspicion that the late-night incident was organized, it remains unclear whether Chasen was personally targeted in the shooting.
The great "Contender" - Christian Bale cracks wise
LOS ANGELES - As Christian Bale reluctantly soaks in the acclaim for his role in the upcoming drama "The Fighter," one of the people he should thank is his daughter. It was at an event for her school that Bale ran into Mark Wahlberg, whose daughter is a fellow student. Wahlberg had spent years developing his true-story movie about boxer "Irish" Micky Ward and his offbeat, often overbearing family. Wahlberg knew he needed the perfect actor to portray Ward's half-brother and trainer, Dickie Eklund, a once-great pugilist who had lost his career to a crippling addiction to crack. "The first time I saw Christian," Wahlberg recalls of their chance encounter, "I was like, 'Holy f---! I've figured it out.'"
