FIFTY SHADES OF GREY'S NEW LEADING MAN

Now that’s more like it! Has the Fifty Shades of Grey film finally found its leading man in actor Jamie Dorman?
Ever since Charlie Hunnam (whatever, he’s better Sons of Anarchy guy) dropped out of the film, everyone’s been dying to find out who will be the actor to take charge of that Red Room of Pain. 

The name of every hot sauce in Hollywood with anything resembling smoldering gray eyes has been tossed around, but Jamie Dornan is reportedly the favorite to play Christian Grey. 

The actor, who began his career as a model for campaigns like Calvin Klein, Armani and Dior, recently played the huntsman in the TV series Once Upon A Time. In 2006, he made his film debut opposite Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette. That same year, the New York Times dubbed him "the Golden Torso," because hmm DUH! 

TIM BURTON READY FOR BEETLEJUICE 2.0

I don’t know why it took so long for this long awaited sequel, but at least they got the right man for the job! Tim Burton may be directing Michael Keaton in a sequel to Beetlejuice.

Burton directed the 1988 original, which starred Keaton as a so-called "bio-exorcist" trying to scare away the new human inhabitants of a haunted house so that a ghost couple, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, can continue living there. Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones and a 17-year-old Winona Ryder co-starred as the human family members.In January of this year (2013) Burton spoke about the possibility of returning for the planned sequel, which is in the works at Warner Bros, saying: "Those were fun characters, but I'd have to see what the script was like."

Now The Wrap is reporting that his interest in the sequel is "no mere flirtation" and Burton is "officially in talks" to direct Beetlejuice 2. Yay! Keaton is expected to return as the title character.

The “part deuce”  has a script by Seth Grahame-Smith, who also co-wrote the screenplay for Burton's 2012 film Dark Shadows. Speaking back in May 2012, Grahame Smith said the new Beetlejuice movie would not be a "remake," but a proper sequel, “With Michael Keaton as the title character".

I wonder if they'll be bringing Winona Ryder, Gina Davis and Alec Baldwain?!

ARACDE FIRE'S NEW MUSIC AND HOROR FILM

Arcade Fire are so freaking good I want to explode into a million pieces when I listen to them! 

The band are to release a Halloween themed 'Breakglass' video which already sounds bitchin. 

The promo shows the band performing in spooky, batty, face paint with a song, rumored to be a new album track, played backwards over the top. The video is the latest promotional video released by Arcade Fire in the run up to their forthcoming studio album 'Reflektor', out on Monday (October 28).

frontman Win Butler revealed that Arcade Fire's interest in the paranormal runs beyond playing liv, wearing face paint and being freaky. Yep, they are so cool they even make horror movies! 

Speaking about a series of horror films the band made while recording the album at Trident Castle in Jamaica, Butler says: "It was inspiring - we filmed a fake horror movie there, we had a lot of fun there. The one from the SNL special is the prequel." When asked if the films will be released, Butler replies: "I don’t know, be cool if it did right?"

Earlier this week the band debuted the studio version of 'Afterlife', another song taken from 'Reflektor'. Watch the official lyric video for the song right above.

MORRISSEY AUTOBIOGRAPHY OUT IN A FEW WEEKS!

Pennguin Books have confirmed plans to release the official Morrissey autobiography which appeared to have been pulled at the last minute last week following a "content dispute" between the singer and publisher. Morrissey: Autobiography was originally due for release on Monday (September 16) but a statement released last week said the whole book idea was caput!  

And now it seems there has been new development in the story that will make fans happy.  Penguin released a statement which claims that they will still release the book in the UK and Europe, but not in America. A clarification to the original story was added to the statement on Morrissey fansite True To You which reads:

"The publication of Morrissey’s Autobiography remains with Penguin Books. This is a deal for the UK and Europe, but Morrissey has no contract with a publisher for the US or any other territory. As of 13 September, Morrissey and Penguin (UK) remain determined to publish within the next few weeks."

The original statement, which you can see below, stated that Morrissey was seeking a new publisher to print the book. The first statement read: "Although Morrissey's Autobiography was set to be available throughout the UK on September 16, a last-minute content disagreement between Penguin Books and Morrissey has caused the venture to collapse. No review copies were printed, and Morrissey is now in search of a new publisher."

In 2011 a spokesperson for Penguin Books said Morrissey's forthcoming autobiography was "a classic in the making". The publisher has said it was keen to enter discussions with the former Smiths frontman, who announced he had finished the 600-page tome that year. 
I know sad it won't be sold in the U.S., buthey there's always ebay.co.uk! :)

PINK FLOYD'S ROGER WATERS: "I DID, I DID THINK THAT WAS WRONG, AND I WAS WRONG!"

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters said he regrets taking legal action against his former band mates while revealing that he plans to release a new solo album.  Is that an honest statement or good PR?!  You be the judge. I mean he was a bit of a douche for suing his buds, but at least he's fessing up. 

Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and subsequently pursued former bandmates Nick Mason and David Gilmour through the courts for their continued use of the Pink Floyd name and material. Now, in a new interview set to be broadcast on BBC tomorrow night (September 19) Water says he was wrong and that he regrets the decisions he made.

"I did, I did think that was wrong, and I was wrong!" Waters tells host Stephen Sackur. "Of course I was. Who cares? It was a commercial decision and in fact it’s one of the few times that the legal profession has taught me something. Because when I went to these chaps and said 'listen we’re broke, this isn’t Pink Floyd anymore', they went 'what do you mean? That’s irrelevant, it is a label and it has commercial value, you can't say it’s going to cease to exist, you obviously haven’t looked back to Runnymede, you obviously don’t understand English jurisprudence…It’s not about what you think, it’s about…it’s what it is'.”

Meanwhile, Waters also revealed he plans to release a new solo album, his first since 'Ça Ira' in 2005. "I’ve had a few breakthroughs recently which I won’t talk about, but I am going to make another record. I’ve had a very very strong idea, and I shall pursue it, and I will make at least one more record and I am really looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into it.
