Polanski to fight extradition after Zurich arrest
ZURICH/PARIS - Film director Roman Polanski, arrested in Switzerland over a U.S. charge of having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977, will fight extradition to the United States, his lawyer said on Monday. Polanski, 76, who has dual French and Polish citizenship, was detained on Saturday after arriving to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival.
Guitar maker draws buyers, cult-like following
STEVENSVILLE, Md - Three decades after defying the odds and persuading Carlos Santana to try out his hand-built guitar, Paul Reed Smith's quest for perfect tone is still reeling in enthusiasts from all over the world. Despite the world economic downturn, his company has built a new multimillion dollar factory and is looking at multiplying revenues while other instrument makers report declining sales.
"Cloudy" again leads struggling box office
LOS ANGELES - The family cartoon "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" led the North American box office for a second weekend on Sunday while another slew of newcomers bombed amid crippling reviews and moviegoer apathy. "Cloudy," a 3D animated feature based on a popular children's book, earned $24.6 million during the three days beginning Friday. The 10-day haul for the Columbia Pictures release stands at $60 million.
Harrelson, Murray bring flair to "Zombieland"
LOS ANGELES - Falling closer in tone to "Shaun of the Dead" than "28 Days Later" or the George Romero movies, "Zombieland" has its tongue planted firmly in its rancid cheek while still delivering the visceral goodies. It's an admittedly tricky balance that's pulled off with energetic panache by first-time director Ruben Fleischer and the writing team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It also has perfectly pitched performances, including the cameo of the year by Bill Murray. But more about that in a bit.
"Trauma" stands out among new fall TV shows
NEW YORK - NBC's primetime lineup is already laden with cop and hospital dramas, so it hardly seems necessary to add yet another to the schedule. And initially, the new medical series "Trauma" seems to be the same old tune, different verse. Five minutes in, however, makes it clear that "Trauma" is not the same old song. Instead, it's a riveting, multilayered show about fallout; survival amidst the ruins -- a standout among the fall season's offerings. The show premieres on Monday at 9 p.m. EDT/PDT.
USA confirms mass "Criminal Intent" departures
LOS ANGELES - "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" star Vincent D'Onofrio will leave the series at the beginning of the show's upcoming ninth season, USA Network said. D'Onofrio has been on "CI" since the show's beginning as a series on NBC, portraying the idiosyncratic Detective Robert Goren. His departure is part of a major casting overhaul on "CI" next season. Fellow regulars Kathryn Erbe, Eric Bogosian and Julianne Nicholson are also leaving. New mom Nicholson is being replaced by Saffron Burrows.
Bardot's legacy on display as she set to turn 75
PARIS in 1956, instantly making Brigitte Bardot the face that symbolized France -- and French women. Until her retirement from the cinema in 1973, "BB," who turns 75 Monday, was never out of the headlines. She made 48 films, frequently nude, recorded dozens of songs and picked up and dropped lovers as only male stars had done publicly before.

Jack Black and Ozzy Osbourne star in metal videogame
DENVER - Amid the din of all the other music-based games being released this fall comes a unique twist on the convergence between music and videogames: "Brutal Legend." Unlike the play-along focus of the "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" franchises, "Brutal Legend" offers a comedic fantasy homage to the world of heavy metal. It stars Jack Black as roadie Eddie Riggs and features appearances by Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister and Ozzy Osbourne. The game draws heavily on the imagery and lyrics of heavy metal albums at all levels -- from plot to art direction to dialogue -- and features a soundtrack of more than 100 songs.
Mobile usage a rare highlight in music biz
DENVER - The mobile music landscape is very much a study in good news, bad news. The bad news is that mobile music has failed to live up to the expectations that the early success of ringtones had inspired. Combined ringtone and ringback tone sales have fallen almost 23 percent so far this year, according to Nielsen RingScan. And Forrester Research analyst Sonal Gandhi estimates that only one-third of U.S. mobile subscribers with music-capable phones use their devices to listen to music.
