Justin Timberlake - 'Mirrors' (Music Video)


Justin Timbelake pays tribute to enduring love in the MV for "Mirrors", the 2nd single off "The 20/20 Experience". Watch the Floria Sigismondi-directed effort above.
Wow at him actually making a video for the 8-minute album version of the song. The video is pretty amazing, pretty epic and looks like a 'classic' already. It shows us the journey of this couple at three different times of their lives. When they meet each other, when they get married and when they're elder. They got their share of ups and downs thoughout their life together, but in the end true love will always endure. That's like the moral of the whole video. Once their 'story' is over, the last minutes of the MV sees Justin Timberlake entering and dancing across a maze of mirrors. Lol, so random. Well, well, this is without a doubt a great video, but not sure I want to see this 8-minute thing AGAIN. So...kind the only negative aspect, hehe. I guess when filming this with Floria Sigismondi, Justin wasn't thinking about the VEVO views.
The amazing Timbaland-produced "Mirrors" is the new single from "The 20/20 Experience", Justin performed it not so long on 'SNL', it's already reached #1 in the UK and in the US it's rapidly gaining airplay and peaking new heights on the Hot 100.

Arrow' exec on DC cameos: "Nightwing would be my fantasy"

Arrow co-creator Andrew Kreisberg has admitted that he would love to introduce Nightwing into the superhero TV series.

The exec told Comic Book Resources that Nightwing - the alias of Batman's former sidekick Dick Grayson - would be his "fantasy" cameo for the CW drama.

"Dick Grayson and Nightwing were always my favourite," he revealed. "I doubt we'll ever get to that point. The Bat-universe will never coincide with ours, but Nightwing would be my fantasy."

Kreisberg explained that Arrow is more likely to introduce "secondary characters" from the DC universe, as opposed to comic icons such as Superman or Wonder Woman.

"We don't ever want Oliver Queen to not be the star of his own show, so what you'll be seeing are more of the villains and secondary characters," he said.

The CW's president Mark Pedowitz previously denied rumours that Batman himself would appear on Arrow, though Kreisberg has refused to rule out an appearance from other DC characters.

"Aside from the characters that wouldn't fit into our conception of Oliver's world, like some of the more fantastical aliens or super-powered people, everybody is really sort of up for grabs," he said last year.

Arrow returns from a midseason hiatus this Wednesday (March 20) on The CW and will resume on Sky1 in the UK on Monday, March 25.

'Pushing Daisies' creator Bryan Fuller interested in Kickstarter revival

Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller has admitted that he is interested in reviving the show via a Kickstarter campaign.

The quirky drama was cancelled by ABC in 2008, but Fuller told The Hollywood Reporter that he had been inspired by the recent success of the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter - which hits its $2 million target in under 24 hours.

"When I saw [the campaign] online, I said to my agent immediately, 'Can we do this with Pushing Daisies or [short-lived Fox series] Wonderfalls?'" Fuller admitted.

"And he said, 'Pushing Daisies is going to take a lot more than $2 million to make into a movie'."

Veronica Mars movie: 5 more TV shows that need Kickstarter

The writer/producer explained that making a Pushing Daisies film would prove "more daunting" than the planned Veronica Mars follow-up.

"Veronica Mars hinges on its charming cast and writing and isn't as effects-laden and dependent on huge productions," said Fuller. "You can make a $2 million or $4 million Veronica Mars movie.

"For something like Pushing Daisies, which is more elaborate visually and also would require extensive prosthetics and those sorts of complicating production elements, it's a little more daunting."

However, Fuller - currently working as showrunner on NBC's forthcoming horror drama Hannibal - admitted that he is still interested in returning to his old shows if certain "loopholes and legalities" can be navigated.

"If I weren't in Toronto finishing up on Hannibal, I'd be knocking on doors at Warner Brothers, asking, 'Is [a Kickstarter campaign] a viable plan for Pushing Daisies?'" he insisted.

Chuck star Zachary Levi has previously expressed his interest in using Kickstarter to revive his show, while Joss Whedon has ruled out the possibility of using the crowd funding site to bring back his axed sci-fi series Firefly in the near future.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Locked-Down Rehab in Plea Deal

Lindsay Lohan Agrees to 90 Days Locked-Down RehabIt's back to rehab for Lindsay Lohan – 90 days in a center under lock and key – plus psychotherapy and community service. 

This was how the actress resolved her latest court case, this one that started over a Porsche crash in Santa Monica last summer when she was filming Liz & Dick.

During a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing Monday that she showed up to nearly an hour late – and got showered with glitter on the way in – she also pleaded no contest to lying to police and reckless driving. 

Asked by Judge James Dabney if she understood all terms and conditions, Lohan answered, "Yes, your honor." 

The judge then said, "A suggestion: don't drive." 

Under the deal, Lohan, 26, avoids a six-month jail term for violating her probation in a shoplifting case as long as she doesn't run afoul of the law again. She will be booked at the Santa Monica Police Department. 

"You violate probation and we'll … just impose sentence and be done with it," the judge warned. 

Lohan also faces an outstanding case in New York involving a nightclub fight, but her attorney said he expected that authorities won't prosecute her in light of the current deal. 

Her father, Michael Lohan – who attended the hearing with his own lawyer – said outside of court, "I'm just very happy she's going to rehab."

One of the photos showed Jessie J being kissed on the head by a girl named Amy, whom she met through the Make-A-Wish Foundation last year and first gave her the idea to shave her head.

"This photograph was taken a year later...after I shaved my head live on BBC 1 for @rednoseday helping raise a record breaking 75million pounds to go towards supporting people in need just like Amy," she wrote.

"Give time, understanding and most importantly dedication and love. I will always try my best to do good in my own little way. Thank you Amy, you are my hero."

Jessie J was honoured by Lawson during a tour date in Cardiff on Red Nose Day when the boyband donned her famous wigs and catsuits for a cover of 'Price Tag'.

Taylor Swift admits 'I Knew You Were Trouble' is about Harry Styles

Taylor Swift has seemingly admitted that her latest song is about ex-boyfriend Harry Styles.

The singer performed her hit 'I Knew You Were Trouble' at last month's Brit Awards and hinted that it was easy to channel the emotion knowing Styles was in the audience.

"You're balancing the analytical side of your brain, which is telling you where to go and how to go there, with the other side of your brain, which is saying, 'Feel everything you're singing, and show it on your face. Feel everything exactly as you felt it when you wrote the song'," Swift told The Sunday Times magazine.

Asked how she felt knowing Styles was watching the performance in the audience, she replied: "Well, it's not hard to access that emotion when the person the song is directed at is standing by the side of the stage watching."

Although they publicly confirmed their relationship towards the end of 2012, the couple had previously dated a year earlier, according to a close friend of Swift.

Meanwhile, Swift has reportedly been cut out of One Direction's concert movie 1D3D due to her split from Styles.

The star will release '22' on April 1 as the third cut to be lifted from her latest album Red.

The Wolverine' different from other 'X-Men' films, says Hugh Jackman

The Wolverine is "different" from the previous X-Men movies, Hugh Jackman has said.

The star praised 20th Century Fox's approach to his latest solo outing.

"I'm thrilled the studio called it The Wolverine instead of Wolverine 2, because we're trying to set it up as a standalone picture," Jackman told Total Film magazine.

"Tonally, it's different from the other X-Men movies. It's got massive action sequences, as people would expect, and it'll be great fun.

"But it is a character-driven movie. It's about a guy completely out of his element, in this world that's foreign to him, and how he copes with that. I feel like we have the opportunity to deliver that badass, kick-ass Wolverine I know everybody wants to see."

Director James Mangold recently posted a series of character portraits of his stars on Twitter.

The Wolverine will arrive in UK and US cinemas on July 26.

The Saturdays: 'We don't have name for new album yet'

"That's the working title, it's not the actual one," Healy told Digital Spy.

"I think with the whole Chasing The Saturdays and chasing success, we'll call it that for now. But it's not the definite title. We'll have another single and then the album. We've finished it though."

The singer added that the girl group were "starstruck" working with Darkchild (Beyoncé, Justin Bieber) and Diane Warren (Celine Dion, Pussycat Dolls) for the project.

"It was overwhelming to think that we were in there working with them too," Healy said. "The tracks we did with Darkchild are kind of R&B-pop."

The Saturdays' new single 'What About Us' is available to download now.

One Direction shouldn't write their music, says songwriter Cathy Dennis

One Direction should refrain from writing their own material, according to Cathy Dennis.

The songwriter - who has Britney Spears's 'Toxic' and Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' among her credits - has advised the boyband to avoid taking control of their creative output.

"It will be expected that they will write their own songs at some point," Dennis is quoted by The Sun as saying.

"Someone is going to say, 'Hang on, the royalties coming in from just singing are not enough'. The guys who wrote 'What Makes You Beautiful' are millionaires."

She added: "But if 1D started writing their own songs it could be the kiss of death, let's face it. I am not going to advocate that.

"To emulate the Rolling Stones - you can't have that overnight. I would not expect them to come out with anything amazing."

The Vaccines frontman Justin Young described his recent songwriting sessions with One Direction as "interesting".

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn: Yes, We're Dating!


After staying mum for months about a rumored romanceTiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are stepping out as a couple. 

In statements released simultaneously on Woods's official website and Vonn's Facebook page Monday afternoon, the athletic powerhouse duo confirmed their burgeoning relationship and posted a photo of themselves together. 

"I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods. Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy," says the Olympic skier, 28. 

"I don't plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends." 

Similarly, writes Woods, 37: "Something nice that's happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating." 

"We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes." 

Rumors of a relationship heated up early last month when Woods sent his private jet to fly Vonn home to Vail, Colo., after a crash at the Alpine World Championships in Austria left her with torn ligaments in her right knee and a fractured shin. 

Since then, the pair has only grown closer, spending time together in Vai, where Vonn is recuperating from surgery, and most recently, in Florida aboard Woods's yacht. 

"Tiger and Lindsey have been friends for a while, and nothing started out romantically at all," a source close to Woods tells PEOPLE. "But they really have a lot in common and got closer and closer." 

Woods made international headlines in 2009 when he was linked to dozens of women while still married to Elin Nordegren. Their divorce became final in August 2010. 

The most decorated skier in U.S. history with an eye on the Winter Olympics, Vonn announced her split from husband of four years, Thomas Vonn, in November 2011. Lindsey Vonn, Tiger Woods Confirm Relationship
