Ashton Kutcher may be the first to reach 1 million followers on Twitter but he's not the fastest to reach that number.

Former Two and a Half Men actor, Charlie Sheen racked up 1 million followers on Twitter in just 25 hours 17 minutes on 1 and 2 March 2011. Sheen was big news at the time, having had his contract terminated on his CBS hit sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Kutcher is now no longer king of the celebrity tweeters, being only the 17th most followed, with 10,668,643 followers as of May 18, 2012. That's well behind first placed Lady Gaga.

After two not so successful Hulk movie, staring Eric Bana in the first and Edward Norton on the second. The fans of the Hulk would have to wait for a new movie after the Avengers 2.

Mark Ruffalo's portrayal in The Avengers was crowd-pleaser and seems likely to stick. However, Marvel Studios president confirmed that fans will have to wait quite a while for a standalone Hulk film.

Feige confirmed the studio will not complete a Hulk film until after the sequel to The Avengers comes out in May 1st, 2015. Feige explained to MTV News "Do I think Hulk can carry a movie and be as entertaining as he was in 'Avengers?' I do believe that. I do believe he absolutely could.We certainly are not even going to attempt that until 'Avenger 2.' So there's a lot of time to think about it."

Sexy Natalie Portman Goes Blonde

The Black Swan actress Natalie Portman goes blonde. The actress accompanied her new husband, Benjamin Millepied, to his L.A. Dance Project at Walt Disney Concert Hall over the weekend and showed off a new look: honey blond hair.

Wearing a white Dior Couture dress that seemed fancier than the one she wore to her Big Sur, California, wedding last month, Portman, who posed with her pal Robert Pattinson on the red carpet, talked about her new look to The Hollywood Reporter.

Revealing the change was made for an upcoming movie role, though she wouldn't mention which one, the 31 year old actress said "I did it just a couple of days ago," adding, "My mom says I'm like a different person."

The Los Angeles based colorist responsible for Portman's tress transformation is Tracey Cunningham according to omg.yahoo.com.

I for one don't mind what color Portman hair is or even without hair (remember in V for Vendetta.). She still looks beautiful.

The Dark Knight Rises 2012 or has it Fallen?

Batman, Bane, Christopher Nolan, Catwoman, Robin, Dark Knight, Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger

I'm pretty much pump up to see the third movie of the Batman by Christopher Nolan. Especially with its 2nd movie the Dark Knight which for me was awesome. But when several sneak peak trailers come popping I am somewhat having doubt that this third movie would top the second.

Then came the day I saw it in the theaters and man was I disappointed.I'm hoping to get a DVD copy of the movie but I guess I'll just rely on what ever I can remember during the movie.

Batman, Bane, Christopher Nolan, Catwoman, Robin, Dark Knight, Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger

The villains. Lets start with Bane, the animated version we all know in Batman series, Bane for me was supposed to be twice as big and tall than batman when he pumps up the steroid "Venom", but no use of venom in this movie. Bane was supposed to be a bad ass villain, but wait till you see him tears falling of his face near the end crucial part of the movie. WHATTTT tears coming from Bane???. 

Batman, Bane, Christopher Nolan, Catwoman, Robin, Dark Knight, Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger

Second would be Catwoman, okay I like Anne Hathaway, she's hot she's sexy but I am kinda confuse of the Catwoman in this movie, we all know Catwoman and Batman had an on and off affair (I'm beginning to sound like a gossip writer here) but for Catwoman to help Batman and even in the lame Bane vs Batman fight. And on the ending of the movie have a happy life with Bruce Wayne? (well in some Batman comics Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle did married and have a child). Ohh and not to mention the real villain behind the movie which was so lame that it even made Bane cry hahahahaha. I'll be honest with you none of these villains came half of what Joker (played by Heath Ledger) is on the movie second installment "Dark Knight."

Batman, Bane, Christopher Nolan, Catwoman, Robin, Dark Knight, Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger

Batman, Bane, Christopher Nolan, Catwoman, Robin, Dark Knight, Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger

The good guys. Well who else? Batman, the movie run almost three hours. But the fight scenes for me,  especially with Batman was lame, especially with the Bane fight (You may make an excuse that Batman came out of retirement, and he was coming of an injury, but hey he is Batman) I rarely see Batman using he's gadget during the fight. He gets a beat down from the hands of Bane, he was put by Bane on a Prison far away from Gotham. 

Batman, Bane, Christopher Nolan, Catwoman, Robin, Dark Knight, Anne Hathaway, Heath Ledger

The second fight between him and Bane was also lame, and he could only defeat Bane with the help of another villain Catwoman, and Batman was even stabbed by a lady??? WTF. And he's so called Bat Plane or Bat Wing look like a floating hunk of metal, I can't believe the missile didn't hit that big of a target. The only cool thing to watch is the Batpod with the way its tire rotate when it does a turn. And Robin? well there is no Robin in this movie but the cop Blake in the end would turn out to be Robin? uhhh aint Robin a circus performer? I can't even remember a Robin having a name Blake? Drake maybe, or maybe I miss something during that end part, people where cheering when they heard the name Robin mentioned during Blakes conservation with the lady.

Some people may have like this movie, but I on the other hand did not. I don't recommend you buying a copy of this one. But if you do like to watch it better wait for it to be shown on cable.

Snow White and the Huntsman 2012 Movie Review

Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Snow White and The Huntsman, Chris Hemsworth, Snow White, Mirror, Sam Claflin, Huntsman

Just got a copy of the Movie Snow White and the Huntsman. I have big expectations on this movie since the previous Snow White movie I saw, which was Mirror Mirror was kinda a let down for me although my little girl love it. 

Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Snow White and The Huntsman, Chris Hemsworth, Snow White, Mirror, Sam Claflin, Huntsman

Its great to see Kristen Stewart not playing a vampire, but her blank face of an expression still bothers me. But she does look the fairest of them all though, and having to see her fight was a welcome sight for me, than having to be saved a lot in Twilight.

Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Snow White and The Huntsman, Chris Hemsworth, Snow White, Mirror, Sam Claflin, Huntsman

Chris Hemsworth better know as Thor, plays a widower who in the end becomes Snow White protector. Hensworth or the Huntsman in these movie has more fight scene compared to the prince aka prince charming played by Sam Claflin. To tell you frankly I hardly notice the prince in the movie, or better yet the movie could have just the Huntsman as Snow White's protector and have no prince at all, since the all mighty and powerful kiss came from the Huntsman.


The best of the cast for me was the lovely and sexy Charlize Theron as the evil queen. She was in the movie a real b*tch. Never have I seen a more frightening, more convincing evil queen. Her murderous stare makes Julia Roberts adaptation of the evil queen quiver in fear.

Ohh and in case I forgot, in the movie there were EIGHT dwarfs not the seven in the Walt Disney movie, and yes they are not real life dwarf, they are full grown actors made small by the power of CGI effects. 

And can someone explain to me the whole milk bath thing with the evil queen hehehe, must be some kind of a beauty regimen.

Snow White and the Huntsman for me was a great movie compared to Mirror Mirror, but the best would still be the animated version of Walt Disney. A nice movie to buy a copy on your video store or online.

Snow White and the Huntsman actress Kirsten Stewart's shocking confession that she cheated on boyfriend Robert Pattinson probably won;t affect how the former couple's upcoming final installment in the Twilight Saga fares at the box office, but promoting the film might be a little awkward.The on screen co star, Christian Serratos, says she doesn't think the star's personal lives will interfere with the November release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2. Well, tell that to Pattinson fans who are planning to boycot future Kirsten Stewart movies.

"Of course people are fans of us now, but I think above anything, they're fans of these characters. I don't think anyone's really gonna give a s**t," Serratos said. "They're gonna see the movie; it's going to be awesome." 

Nancy Kirkpatrick, the president of Summit Films worldwide marketing division, also thinks the film will do just fine at the box office. "While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November's opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2,"  Kirkpatrick said. "We are confident that the film delivers amazing entertainment for our passionate fans and general audience alike," she adds.

George Lucas has once again expressed his plans to retire from making big Hollywood blockbusters. George Lucas has decided to retire from making movies.Sort of. Lucas is moving away from big Hollywood blockbusters to more experimental fare "I'm moving away from the company, I'm moving away from all my businesses, I'm finishing all my obligations and I'm going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies. I've always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters," Lucas said.

This is not the first time that Lucas has expressed his plans to move away from the movie making business. "I'm retiring. I'm moving away from the business, from the company, from all kind of stuff," the Star Wars said back in January. He also expressed his desire to move away from the blockbusters back in 2005, when the Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith was released.While Lucas has announced his retirement plans, he still has a few projects in the pipeline, which includes possible fifth installment of the Indiana Jones series. One series he will not be revisiting, however, is the Star Wars franchise, "Why would I make any more" said Lucas, "when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?"

Although Marvel refuses to reveal details, Ben Kingsley is now expected to play the villain Mandarin in the upcoming film, Iron Man 3. Kingsley was added to the cast a while back, but Marvel repeatedly denied that he would play Mandarin. 

Reports revealed the villains identity, and added that Mandarin will not be the main villain in the film. That title belongs to Aldrich Killian, played by Guy Pearce. Killian will use Mandarin's resources and nanotechnology to create a line of super soldiers. The plot is based on the "Extremis" story arc in the Iron Man comics.

Coldblood, played by James Badge Dale, and Firepower played by Ashley Hamilton, will likely be part of Killian's army. The film will feature the red, white and blue "Iron Patriot" armor, and shows a picture of the suit taken on the set. The film is scheduled for release on May 3, 2013.

Adam Sandler, Golden Raspberry Award, Eddie Murphy, Bucky Larson Born To Be A Star, Jack and Jill, Al Pacino, Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Waterboy

Adam Sandler was once known as the funniest man on earth, with movies such as Big Daddy, The Waterboy, Click well he deserves to be called the funniest. But that was before, now he's being hailed as the worst actor of all time by the Golden Raspberry Awards.

The Happy Gilmore actor earned a whopping 11 Razzle nominations this year, breaking Eddie Murphy's old record of five. The comedian earned the nominations for films like Jack and Jill, Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star and Just Go With It. Jack and Jill itself earned 12 nominations, including worst film, worst actor for Adam Sandler, worst actress for Adam Sandler (In the film Adam Sandler also plays the lead character's twin sister), worst supporting actress for Katie Holmes and worst supporting actor for Al Pacino. Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star, which Sandler co-wrote, also earned a worst film nomination, along with New Year's Eve, Transformer: Dark of the Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1.

Sandler earned his second worst actor nomination for Just Go With It, but his worst nominations don't compare to Nicolas Cage's three noms, which he earned for Drive Angry 3-D, Season of the Witch and Trespass.

Uma Thurman is reportedly pregnant with her third child.

The 41 year old actress, who has 13 year old daughter Maya and 10 year old son Levon, with ex husband Ethan Hawke, is expecting her first kid with her businessman boyfriend Arpad Busson. A friend of Uma's told Life & Style magazine: "Yes, Uma is pregnant! She hasn't announced it yet, but a lot of her friends were asking her because they could tell the difference when they saw her at New York Fashion Week. She's usually so skinny, but now she has the cutest little bump and a glow about her."

The couple, who reunited last year following a split in November 2009, are said to be excited about the news, with the baby thought to be due in late summer 2012.

Earlier this year, the blonde beauty, who was previously married to actor Gary Oldman, revealed she is happier in her love life more than she has been in many, many years.

Funny man Seth Rogen has been named Stoner of the Year.

The Green Hornet star, who has made no secret of his love of marijuana, was given the controversial accolade by High Times magazine and it is the second time he has taken the crown.

He told People magazine as reported by msn.com "I've won it twice. I actually lost to James Franco eventually. Seth joked that by being given the title a second time, he had "won one award" he's always wanted to get.

He added: "I honestly don't know which of these movies have won (or been nominated for) other awards and sh*t like that. I just know which ones I though were awesome, and I'll probably make that clear while I'm hosting."

Seth has always been open about his drug use but has been told in the past not to mention it when promoting some of his movies.

He said: "When I was promoting Green Hornet, Sony asked me to not tell too many weed stories. And I said, 'I don't think I'm capable of doing that. 'It's kind of the only thing I can talk about. I'll admit to smoking weed all the time but I'll never admit to being stoned."

Sexy Actress Salma Hayek to be "Knighted"

Sexy star Salma Hayek will be 'knighted' in France when she receives the Legion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor). The Mexican-born actress was among the list of new recipients of the merit award that was announced by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

People reported that, according to source, her induction ceremony could take place in the next two months. The medal will be presented by Sarkozy himself.

The Legion of Honor was founded as a merit award by Napoleon in 1802 and is traditionally given to civilians and members of the military for their contributions to France. While Hollywood actors like Clint Eastwood, Jerry Lewis, Robert Redford and Robert De Niro have received the medal in the past, Hayek's selection has been met with fierce criticism.

Many in the French press see it as a last ditch effort by Sarkozy to get re-elected in the spring. Marianne, a political magazine, had a headline that read "Last distribution of the gongs before leaving," while L'Express wrote that Napoleon would be "turning his grave" if he knew who was receiving the award.

According to the controversy, Hayek's husband is Francois-Henri Pinault, a businessman who is reportedly close friends with Sarkozy.

Martha Stewart daytime show got axe from Hallmark Channel. The Martha Stewart Show is set to stop production this spring after disappointing ratings weren't worth the steep cost the show needs to maintain daily live shows.

Sources said that once Stewart's Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia was informed of the cancellation, they started to plan a copious send off finale show similar to Oprah Winfrey's after 25 years of the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Stewart's entire programming block, which includes Emeril's Table, Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn, and Martha Bakes, is said to be running through September, but any show that surpasses the month of April will be a repeat. The Martha Stewart Show's average audience was only around 200,000 viewers. Lisa Gersh, president of MSLO, hinted that the costs were getting too high at an investor conference last month.

Demi Moore is appearing on the February issue of Harper's Bazaar and calling herself a "warrior" after two failed marriages. The interview took place just a week after the Ghost star filed fir divorce from her husband of six years, and she revealed a fear of hers that she is "not worthy of being loved."

Moore shows her insecurities, according to reports that she tells friend Amanda De Cadenet about her biggest fears, "If I were to answer it just kind of bold-faced, I would say what scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm really not lovable, that I'm not worthy of being loved. That there's something fundamentally wrong with me...that I wasn't wanted here in the first place."

Moore also talks about the "love-hate relationship" she has with her body at the age of 49. "I think I sit today in a place of greater acceptance of my body, and that includes not just my weight but all of the things that come with your changing body as you age to now experiencing my body as extremely thin - thin in a way that I never imagined somebody would be saying to me, 'you're thin, and you don't look good.'"
