David Letterman victim of $2 million extortion over affairs
NEW YORK - U.S. TV talk-show host David Letterman said on Thursday he was the victim of a $2 million extortion plot by a man who threatened to write a screenplay about Letterman having affairs with employees. An employee of CBS's "48 Hours," a documentary show that regularly features true crimes, was arrested on Thursday in connection with the case, CBS said in a statement.
Kanye West and Lady Gaga's North American tour cancelled
LOS ANGELES - A U.S. and Canada tour by Kanye West and Lady Gaga has been canceled with no reason given just weeks after the rap star came under public fire for humiliating country star Taylor Swift at an awards ceremony. Concert promoter Live Nation said in a statement on Thursday that the "Fame Kills" tour, that was due to kick off in Phoenix, Arizona on November 10 and run through January, had been canceled with refunds available at the point of sale.
"Transformers 3" confirmed for 2011
LOS ANGELES - Ending a complete lack of suspense, director Michael Bay said Thursday that he will shoot a third "Transformers" film, whose release date has been brought forward by exactly one year to July 1, 2011. Stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are slated to return to the Paramount/DreamWorks project, as is Ehren Kruger, the co-writer of this year's hit sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." The first two films have grossed more than $1.5 billion worldwide.
"Zombieland" looks to kill at the box office
LOS ANGELES - If the walking dead, roller babes and Ricky Gervais aren't enough to lure recently resistant moviegoers back to North American multiplexes, perhaps a three-dimensional Buzz Lightyear will help? Disney sends out 3D versions of its animated classics "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" as a double feature Friday. The extra-dimensional gambit is largely a scene-setter for the June arrival of "Toy Story 3," and a weekend haul of about $10 million looks likely.
Willy Wonka may star in stage musical
NEW YORK - Willy Wonka could soon be kicking up his heels. Warner Bros. is developing a stage musical based on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," the children's classic that it bought to the big screen four years ago.

The Trial: Judge tackles Kafka archive nightmare
TEL AVIV - An Israeli court has stepped into a battle over a legacy that may include lost manuscripts of the great 20th century writer Franz Kafka, ordering an elderly heiress to open up a secret hoard of papers, Israel's Haaretz newspaper said Friday. A judge in Tel Aviv appointed new executors for the will of Esther Hoffe, who was secretary to Kafka's friend and fellow Prague writer Max Brod.
Circus tycoon clowns around after space docking
KOROLYOV, Russia - Canadian circus billionaire Guy Laliberte, dubbed the first clown in space, arrived at the International Space Station in a Russian space craft on Friday on a 10-day trip that cost over $35 million. Laliberte, a former fire-breather and founder of the Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil, donned a red clown's nose and waved to his wife and children in a video link-up from the space station to mission control in the town of Korolyov near Moscow.
Shadowed by giants, Milan young designers seek break
MILAN - To fashionistas around the world, Milan is best known for established brands such as Giorgio Armani, Prada and Versace but its young and upcoming designers are eager to show it is also a hive of emerging talent. Fashion-lovers agree that London, whose designers are considered among the most avant garde, is unrivalled in nurturing new names. But Milan has plenty to say too.
Hollywood persists with biopics despite perils
LOS ANGELES - When DreamWorks announced in May that it planned to make a movie about Martin Luther King Jr., it took less than 24 hours for the prestige project to hit a speed bump. Two of King's children disputed a third's authority to speak for the estate, and soon enough King's own words came to mind: "All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem."
