Facebook movie underscores cultural phenomenon
SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook now counts one of every two Americans as a user, would rank behind only China and India in population if it were a country and has an estimated value of more than $30 billion, larger than that of Starbucks. What could possibly be next for a website that was created in a Harvard dorm room six years ago? Try a Hollywood film, "The Social Network," that opens nationally on Friday and is already prompting discussion of Academy Awards.
Warner, MGM near approving 'Hobbit' film: report
LOS ANGELES - After years of delays, Hollywood is finally close to producing a movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," the Los Angeles Times reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros, its subsidiary New Line Cinema, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer appear to be near a deal to start production in mid-January of the two-part prequel to the blockbuster "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
TV anchor Sanchez leaves CNN after comments on Jews
ATLANTA - CNN and its high-profile anchor Rick Sanchez parted ways on Friday, a day after Sanchez made controversial comments about Jews on a radio show. A brief statement from CNN said: "Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well." A story on CNN's website said Sanchez "abruptly left the network on Friday afternoon."
Eminem seen as top contender in Grammy race
NEW YORK - The nominees for the 53rd annual Grammy Awards won't officially be revealed until December 1. But with the eligibility period having closed on September 30, the contenders are now clear, with early favorites and intriguing storylines already emerging. According to Billboard's survey of record executives and industry observers, the 2011 Grammys will likely field its strongest and most competitive collection of record and song of the year nominees in recent memory. While this may lead to a Grammy night filled with memorable, over-the-top performances, it's bittersweet news for the industry, as it mirrors the shift in the marketplace away from albums and toward the less profitable commodity of singles.
Countries reach tentative anti-counterfeiting pact
TOKYO agreed to work expeditiously to resolve the small number of outstanding issues," the United States, Japan, the European Union and other participating countries said in a joint statement.
Carla Bruni's music plans spark political concerns
LONDON/PARIS - Carla Bruni's marriage to President Nicolas Sarkozy of France in 2008 has made her a steady fixture in tabloid newspapers across Europe. But capitalizing on such exposure remains a challenge for the chart-topping singer-songwriter. Bruni's media profile has been particularly prominent in recent months, thanks to widely circulated holiday photos in August, her appearance on the cover of the September 11 U.K. edition of the Economist for a story about her husband's slump in popularity and a salacious new biography, "Carla et les Ambitieux" by Michael Darmon and Yves Derai, which has received heavy press coverage.
Yoko Ono revisits John Lennon's archives for "Truth"
DETROIT - Time has been good to Yoko Ono. Once derided by fans as a divisive force in the Beatles universe, Ono is now the trusted guardian and quality control overseer of John Lennon's legacy -- all while maintaining her own career as a musical and visual artist and peace activist. Ever since she completed "Milk and Honey" in 1984, Ono has presided over a continuing series of reissues and repackagings from her husband's vaults -- including the "Lennon" boxed set in 1990, the "Acoustic" compilation album in 2004, the limited-edition set of vinyl singles released in April to mark Record Store Day and a remastered edition of VH1's "John Lennon: Behind the Music" -- as well as such ongoing projects as the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
Boosters hope Alaska will be "Hollywood Far North"
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - On a crisp autumn day, as office workers went about their business, one of Anchorage's major hotels became the temporary hub of what state leaders consider a promising new Alaska industry. The lower level of the Hotel Captain Cook was occupied by a Hollywood film crew that converted rooms into movie sets, makeup and dressing areas and equipment-packed work sites.
Archuleta expresses his inner dork on "Other Side"
NEW YORK - David Archuleta is finally getting a chance to act his age. Although he's been singing since he was 6, the 19-year-old Utah native has projected a mature voice wise beyond his years, as evidenced during Season 7 of "American Idol," when his ballad-ready tenor landed him the runner-up spot behind rocker David Cook.
Singer Faith Evans busy with music, TV ventures
LOS ANGELES - Faith Evans is a pragmatist -- while she's hard at work promoting her new album, she's also outlining a book, promoting a line of hair-care products, shooting a pilot for a reality show and developing a TV sitcom. "Music is still the huge love of my life," Evans says. "It's a fun business, but the checks don't come as regularly. And when they do, they're not always the same amount," she adds with a laugh. "I'm taking advantage of all the revenue streams I can."
