"Clash of the Titans" set to win box office battle
LOS ANGELES - Easter weekend will be sweetened with yet another 3D release, as "Clash of the Titans" aims to exploit the format's surging popularity. The remake of the 1981 cult classic, starring "Avatar" hero Sam Worthington, is on track to march north of $60 million through Sunday -- about half its production budget.
Teen star Justin Bieber tops U.S., Canada charts
LOS ANGELES - Canadian pop idol Justin Bieber debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop album chart Wednesday, becoming the youngest solo male artist to achieve this feat since Stevie Wonder in 1963. Bieber, 16, sold 283,000 copies of his second album "My World 2.0" during the week ended March 28, according to tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan. Wonder, 13 at the time, spent one week at No. 1 with "Little Stevie Wonder/The 12 Year Old Genius." As the title suggests, he recorded it when he was 12.
"American Idol" road to fame ends for Didi Benami
NEW YORK - R&B soul week spelled the downfall of Didi Benami on Wednesday, after "American Idol" fans and judges found no comfort in her rendition of "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" and voted her off the hit singing contest. Benami smiled with apparent resignation after the judges declined to use their once-per-season save on her, which would keep a contestant voted out by fans in the running on the television singing contest for at least another week.
"The Wire" and "ER" writer David Mills dies
LOS ANGELES - David Mills, an Emmy Award-winning television writer who contributed to dramas "The Wire" and "ER," has died at age 48 after apparently suffering a brain aneurysm, HBO said on Wednesday. Mills fell ill on Tuesday night in New Orleans on the set of upcoming HBO drama "Treme," people involved in the show said in a statement provided by HBO.
"Mad Men" shaking up Emmy submissions
LOS ANGELES - The producers behind "Mad Men" are hoping to boost the Emmy chances of its highest-profile actresses by positioning last year's lead nominee Elisabeth Moss as a supporting contender. Sources say the thinking is that January Jones, snubbed last year and the year before, will have a better chance in the lead actress category without competition from Moss.
Paul McCartney thrills L.A. crowd with hits, tales
LOS ANGELES - If anyone could be excused for having a rock star's distant, aloof persona, it would be Paul McCartney. But that's simply not him; he exudes a genuine likability and unforced charm that flattens any barriers between him and a live audience. And Tuesday's fantastic show at the Hollywood Bowl also was an example of how music -- certain music -- can bridge cultural and generational chasms. Whether it was a Wings track, recent solo material or any of the 20-plus Beatles songs, it was easy to hear the past half-century of popular music in the melodies and harmonies. And McCartney shared several stories that offered a peek behind the scenes of that history and helped make this show special.
Critics sing the blues over Miley Cyrus movie
LOS ANGELES - Critics slammed Miley Cyrus in her first movie made outside her "Hannah Montana" character as it opened in U.S. theaters on Wednesday, but "The Last Song" was still expected to perform well at box offices. The weepy romantic drama, written by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, was deemed melodramatic and formulaic and claimed only a seven percent approval rating on reviews aggregator www.rottentomatoes.com.
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn gets "Law & Order" role
LOS ANGELES - Winter Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn has finally found out what role she will play on her favorite television show, the crime series "Law & Order." NBC on Wednesday said the U.S. skier will play an office assistant named Alicia in the season finale of the program.
Prosecutors urge rejection of new Polanski request
LOS ANGELES - Prosecutors urged a California appeals court to reject director Roman Polanski's request to be sentenced without returning to the United States, in the latest salvo in a decades-old legal battle over his sex crime against a 13-year-old girl. In a court filing late on Tuesday, Los Angeles prosecutors lashed out at defense attorneys who recently asked the appeals court to sentence the Oscar-winning filmmaker while he is under house arrest in Switzerland.
