Sofia Coppola's film on celebrity wins in Venice
VENICE - Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere," an insider's look at the life of a Hollywood actor who becomes numb to life through drink, drugs and a string of one-night stands, won the top prize at the Venice film festival on Saturday. The choice of the U.S. director's movie for the Golden Lion award will come as a surprise on the Lido waterfront, where reaction to the Los Angeles-based drama was mixed.
Firth stammers to success in "The King's Speech"
TORONTO - The story of the man who would rather not be king is stealing Oscar buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, with Colin Firth as the monarch who overcame a debilitating stammer to do the job. "The King's Speech" stars Firth as Britain's George VI. It centers on the monarch's relationship with an Australian speech therapist, played by Geoffrey Rush, as his brother abdicates and kingship is quite literally thrust upon him.
De Niro and Norton down for acting rematch in "Stone"
TORONTO - "Stone," an ambiguous and dark drama premiering at the Toronto Film Festival, may not be an easy story for some audiences , but the nuanced tale was a draw for acting heavyweights Robert De Niro and Edward Norton. "I always liked the script," De Niro said of "Stone," which deals with hypocrisy and guilt, and is set in the rapidly decaying environs of post-recession Detroit.
Helen Mirren stars in film of "Tempest" with twist
VENICE - Helen Mirren stars in a new movie version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," but it comes with a twist as the Oscar-winning British actress takes on the male role of Prospero and becomes Prospera instead. The reinterpretation of the play, which celebrates its 400th anniversary this year, was devised by director Julie Taymor, who shot it on the islands of Hawaii.
Tarantino's tough choice as Venice festival ends
VENICE - Jury president Quentin Tarantino faces a tough choice as the Venice film festival winds to a close Saturday, with no clear frontrunner emerging for the coveted Golden Lion awarded each year to the best picture. The 24-strong competition line-up, featuring the youngest group of directors in memory, has been seen by critics as strong and varied, providing everything from French comedy to Polish existential minimalism to effects-heavy Chinese costume drama.
Lady Gaga and jilted producer drop legal dispute
NEW YORK - A legal battle between pop sensation Lady Gaga and her former producer and lover has ended, a Gaga spokeswoman said on Friday. Producer Rob Fusari had sued his one-time protege for more than $30 million claiming he was instrumental to her success but unable to profit from it when their romance ended.
Brandon Flowers summons desert spirits on "Flamingo"
NEW YORK - While embarking on a solo career, Brandon Flowers has made it clear that his band, the Killers, isn't breaking up. In fact, the singer says that the point of "Flamingo," due September 14 on Island Records, was to deliver these songs to the public so that his group could eventually return to creating as a cohesive unit.
Bono says writing "Spider-Man" easier than for U2
NEW YORK - U2 frontman Bono said on Friday the songs composed for the most expensive show in Broadway history were simpler to write than the more personal songs he has written for the Irish rock band. The songs for the eagerly anticipated $60 million production of "Spider-Man:Turn Off the Dark," turned out to be surprisingly less challenging than conjuring up melodies for U2, the singer told TV show "Good Morning America."
Sarah Ferguson to rebuild life in TV show
LOS ANGELES -- a new cable channel due to launch in January -- said on Friday the documentary would be called "Finding Sarah" and would debut in the first three months of 2011.
Phil Collins goes "Back" to Motown favorites
NEW YORK - It's a rainy day in New York, and London-born, Switzerland-based Phil Collins is making the most of his time stateside. The 59-year-old singer/songwriter/drummer has brought his two youngest sons with him for a summer vacation. They've visited the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas -- collecting artifacts from the 1836 battle is Collins' abiding passion these days. It's a hobby he can clearly afford, having sold 11.2 million albums as a solo artist during the Nielsen SoundScan era alone, while Genesis has moved 9.3 million albums in the same period.
