US-ENTERTAINMENT Summary
Reuters - Saturday, August 1
Film "The Cove" seeks to expose dolphin killings
ADVERTISEMENT
NEW YORK - A tense new film shows Japanese fishermen luring thousands of wild dolphins into a hidden secret cove in Japan where activists say they are captured for marine amusement parks or slaughtered for food. "The Cove" follows a team of activists including former dolphin trainer from the "Flipper" television series Ric O'Barry.
Hollywood stars visit Havana amid U.S.-Cuba thaw
HAVANA - Hollywood came to Havana on Thursday as Cuban writers and artists gave an award to Benicio del Toro, star of the 2008 movie "Che," in a ceremony attended by fellow actors Bill Murray, Robert Duvall and James Caan. Murray stole the show when he improvised a version of the song "As Time Goes By," then jokingly passed around a hat, asking for money.
Q&A: Juliette Lewis pushes to the limit with new band
NEW YORK - An actress of startling range, Juliette Lewis has released an EP and two albums since 2003 with her band the Licks. Citing a desire to strike out in new directions, Lewis disbanded the group in 2009, forming the New Romantiques soon after. The resulting album, "Terra Incognita," produced by The Mars Volta's Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, is exhilarating and exhausting -- spacey, Latin-tinged, tribal, grungy, droney, occasionally bluesy and even, just for a second, a little country. The sonic variance, though, is anchored by Lewis' gravelly, brazen yowl, which sounds like Patti Smith one minute and Kim Deal the next. Billboard caught up with Lewis by phone when she was in central Italy in the middle of a European tour.
Peter Andre wins libel case over sex claims
LONDON - Singer Peter Andre accepted substantial undisclosed libel damages on Friday over a newspaper claim that he was unfaithful to his now estranged wife, model Katie Price. The 36-year-old was at London's High Court for the settlement of his action over a story saying he had been unfaithful with a Price lookalike, which appeared in The Sunday People newspaper in May.
Meryl Streep emerges as summer box-office sensation
LOS ANGELES - A partial list of this summer's best box-office bets: Optimus Prime, Manny the Woolly Mammoth and Meryl Streep. It's understandable if that prompts a double take, but the actress most synonymous with Oscar quietly has become one of the most reliable warm-weather draws at the multiplex. Streep, who turned 60 in June, drummed up nearly $1 billion in worldwide revenue from her previous two summer outings: Fox's "The Devil Wears Prada" in 2006 and Universal's "Mamma Mia!" in 2008.
HBO renews "Hung," "True Blood," "Entourage"
LOS ANGELES - HBO announced the renewal of its entire summer lineup of original programing, ordering another round of freshman comedy "Hung," veteran comedy "Entourage" and hit vampire drama "True Blood." Network executives addressing the critics at the Television Critics Association's semiannual press tour said "Hung" will get a second season, "True Blood" a third and "Entourage" a seventh. The new seasons will debut in 2010, with "Blood" planned for summer.
Billboard singles reviews: Brad Paisley, Jay-Z
NEW YORK , and producer Frank Rogers cleverly blends in blippy sonic flourishes among buoyant guitar riffs. When Paisley sings, "Wherever we were going, well we're here/So many things I never thought I'd see happening right in front of me," it feels at once nostalgic and forward-looking. ARTIST: JAY-Z FEATURING RIHANNA AND KANYE WEST
Photographer Leibovitz sued for breach of contract
NEW YORK - An art finance company that lent celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz $24 million against the value of her entire collection and her properties has sued her for violating the terms of the agreement. In a lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court on Wednesday, Art Capital Group Inc asked a judge to compel Leibovitz to cooperate with the person assigned to sell her copyrights and organize the sale of her properties, so Leibovitz can pay back the loan.
"Funny People" laughing loudest at box office
LOS ANGELES - It's shaping up as a tale of two genres at the weekend box office in North America. A trio of studios will be singing "We Are Family" again, but the No. 1 picture is likely to be "Funny People," a new R-rated comedy that extends another recent theatrical trend.
