Alexandra Burke's wee success

6 November 2009 10:01 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Alexandra Burke only realised she was famous when Timbaland heard her urinate. The 'Bad Boys' singer - who rose to fame when she won British TV talent show 'The X Factor' last year - only realised her life had changed when she started running into some of the music industry's biggest names on a daily basis. She explained: "After I won 'The X Factor', I went on holiday. Then, when I came back, we went to New York. The deep end. I was on the phone to my management because I didn't even know how to act. What do I say when I meet the producers? Do I say, 'Hello sir?' "And then I started in Jay-z's studio. »

3 November 2009 2:05 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Alexandra Burke has moved house - to avoid being arrested. The 'Bad Boys' singer begged her record company to find her a new property after being intimidated by a group of youths who shouted abuse and threw rocks, amid fears she would retaliate with violence. She told Wonderland magazine: "I get all the kids on the street I've lived in throwing s**t at my car. "I have to move away because I'll end up hitting one of them and getting arrested. That's it. Career over. "It's the natural reaction when someone comes up to you and starts on you and gives you a slap first." Meanwhile, the 21-year-old star has helped save a British toddler's life.

Film School 101: Protagonists

1 November 2009 4:57 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

First off I need to apologize for the tardiness of this entry.  I was infected with the swine pandemic and was unable to do anything but utter “Bbbbraaaiiinsssss…” feebly from my bed.  Now I’m up and about again, so here we go.

One of the first things to do when making your movie is figure out who your main character is going to be.  Now, you may pick your plot first and then figure what kind of protagonist you want or you may pick your characters and write about what they do – it all depends on your style of writing.  In either case, understanding your protagonist(s) is very important since these are the people whom the plot revolves around, who we will come to know and love and who we will follow for the next 120 minutes.  They will be our tour guides through your movie so you have »

Gay icon Alexandra Burke

30 October 2009 11:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Alexandra Burke only trusts homosexual men. The 'Bad Boys' singer would love to have a male fan base similar to those of Madonna and Kylie Minogue because she feels closest to her gay friends. She said: "I love gay men. They're the only ones that I can trust. My friends Cormac and Dwayne are the most beautiful spirits in my life and I can trust them with my heart. "I would love to be a gay icon, but I've got a lot of hard work to do first." The 21-year-old songstress admits most of her respect for gay men stems from the way her pals have been unaffected by her quick rise to fame after winning UK TV »

Writer Found For ‘Men In Black 3′

30 October 2009 4:45 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Back in April we reported on news from the Sony ShoWest presentation that the studio was developing a script for a third Men in Black movie, something which built on the rumors from over a year ago that franchise stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were interested in suiting up for some alien escapades once more. Fast forward to now and an update has come out that Men In Black 3 has found its writer in the form of Tropic Thunder screenwriter, Etan Cohen (not to be confused with one half of the famous Coen brothers, Ethan).

Variety is reporting that Columbia Pictures (which Sony owns) has tapped Cohen to pen the script, but beyond that no deals have been made for either Smith or Jones to reprise their roles. Although I’d be very surprised if the studio didn’t have talks going on with the two stars »

'Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time' Trailer Detailed

29 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jerry Bruckheimer's upcoming game-to-movie translation of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is the next great hope for adaptations of this sort. Video games have a spotty history in the world of cinema. In fact, that's probably a generous characterization. While a few have certainly made money, none have yet achieved that rare parity between critical and box office approval.

Bruckheimer's "Persia" has a shot though. The mega-producer has a great track record with event blockbusters: the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, two "Bad Boys," "Black Hawk Down," "Beverly Hills Cop" and a string of Michael Bay-helmed hits, including "Armageddon," "The Rock" and "Pearl Harbor." Okay... maybe not so much with "Pearl Harbor." Now we've got the latest on "Prince of Persia," in the form of a detailed runthrough of the as-yet-unreleased new trailer for the movie, which »

Cole single is year's fastest seller

25 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Cheryl Cole's solo debut has become the fastest-selling single of the year. 'Fight For This Love' sold more than 290,000 copies in its first week on release to beat 2009's previous seven-day best - set by Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys' last week - by over 100,000 units. "I'm just getting over the fact I have recorded my solo record and now it's number one," Cole told the Official Chart Company. "I can't take this all in. It's hard for me to put into words how I feel. I have this permanent smile on my face." Behind Cole, Burke's 'Bad Boys' slips to two, while Chipmunk's 'Oopsy Daisy' holds steady at three. Meanwhile, Whitney Houston climbs from 14 to five with 'Million Dollar Bill' following her performance on The X Factor last week. Young Soul Rebels - a collective (more) »

Alexandra Burke swears off dancing lovers

24 October 2009 5:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Alexandra Burke has vowed never to date a dancer. The 'Bad Boys' singer - who is reportedly dating Amy Winehouse's backing singer Zalon Thompson - has been warned off romancing backing entertainers by Cheryl Cole, who mentored her in last year's 'X Factor' competition. She said: "I wouldn't date a dancer, but I can admire them. I'm not dating dancers, no, no, no. Cheryl has warned me. She said, 'You're not allowed to date dancers, Alex, and you're not allowed to date boys full stop!' And I said, 'Fine, I'll just get a dog!'

Alexandra Burke has said that she does not mind if Cheryl Cole's debut solo single replaces 'Bad Boys' at number one this week. The X Factor winner's track became the fastest-selling single of the year last week but that record is on course to be broken by Cole's 'Fight For This Love' this Sunday. Burke told BBC Newsbeat: "Her performance on The X Factor was absolutely outstanding and I think she deserves it. "I wish her every success.
