One Direction – 'Shadow Pico' Art-House Film Trailer (Bad Lip Reading)

British boy band One Direction stars in the band's very first foreign language art-house film Shadow Pico, the trailer of which hits YouTube on December 27.

Shadow Pico, however, is only a spoof of One Direction's music video Gotta Be You remixed by YouTube sensation Bad Lip Reading and dubbed several phony (or let's say gibberish) languages to make it an artsy movie trailer.

"They've captivated the world with their music," the intro says. "Now experience One Direction as you've never seen them before. In their first foreign language motion picture." 

Watch the trailer of One Direction's Shadow Pico (Gotta Be You) and be amazed on how Bad Lip Reading did it. 1D rocks.

Peter Parker Death Mourned by Fans, Spider-Man Killed by Doctor Octopus

Peter Parker is dead. The guy who becomes Spider-Man was killed by his greatest arch nemesis Doctor Octopus (Doc Ock) in the controversial 700th issue of 'Amazing Spider-Man' released this week.

Spider-Man died Wednesday, December 26, 2012 as the latest issue of the comic book hit the stores. Fans were shocked about the latest twist in the story of Peter Parker, mourning the death of one of the well-loved superheroes.

With the death of Spidey, Marvel writer Dan Slott has been getting death threats, according to reports. However, the writer said that Peter Parker's death and the culmination of his battle as Spider-Man will be an epic turn in the storyline.

Peter Parker as the Amazing Spider-Man might succumb to Doc Ock aka Otto Octavius in a battle but the legacy of Spider-Man will continue. Parker's mind is trapped in the withered, decaying dying body of his nemesis, Doctor Octopus.

Apparently, the villain Doc Ock takes on a new life of fulfilling the mission of Spider-Man, realizing that with great power comes great responsibility. Peter Parker is gone for good in the Amazing Spider-Man final issue but his life has inspired Doc in becoming a hero.

“Gone are his days of villainy, but since it’s Doc Ock and he has that ego, he’s not going to try and just be Spider-man, he’s going to try to be the best Spider-Man ever,” writer Dan Slott said.

Now, fans will surely bid goodbye to Peter Parker, the geeky teenager we all loved as the Amazing Spider-Man. Nevertheless, the superhero adventure continues.

Kristen Stewart Returns on Sequel of 'Snow White and the Huntsman'

After being romantically involved with director Rupert Sanders of Snow White and the Huntsman, actress Kristen Stewart is confirmed to return on the said movie's sequel. 

In an interview with Indiewire, Kristen Stewart said that she will be reprising her role as the 'fairest of them all' in the sequel of Snow White and the Huntsman and is very excited about it.

"Oh, it’s gonna be f**kin’ amazing," Stewart said. "No, I'm so excited about it, it’s crazy."

However, Kristen won't let her excitement spill all the beans about the movie and her lips are sealed about where her character will be going in the sequel.

"I'm not allowed [to talk about it]. The other day I said that there was a strong possibility that we’re going to make a sequel, and that’s very true, but everyone was like, 'Whoa, stop talking about it.' So no, I’m totally not allowed to talk about it."

When asked whether ideas have already been discussed to her, the 22-year-old actress said, "Oh my God. F**k, yeah. Absolutely. And we’ve got a really amazing… [smiles] So, yeah. It’s all good. [laughs]."

Although Kristen Stewart will be reprising her role in the sequel, reports said that director Rupert Sanders has been dropped from the project. A source told Radaronline.com that "the script [for Snow White and the Huntsman] has already been written and production will begin late next year" but there will be no Rupert Sanders. "Rupert didn't want to be a part of it to begin with because he is desperately still trying to save his marriage. The search is still on for a new director," the report added.

Prior to this confirmation, Kristen Stewart's role in the movie's sequel has been in limbo after she admitted to an intimate relationship with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. The affair was exposed by US Weekly magazine after photos of them kissing and cuddling were published.

The X Factor USA Season 2 grand finale results night happened December 20 (December 21, MLA time) and 37-year-old country artist Tate Stevens was declared the winner of The X Factor's 2012 season.

Tate Stevens, who was mentored by L.A. Reid (Over 25s category) bested two other acts in the finale—Carly Rose Sonenclar under Britney Spears' Teens category and Fifth Harmony under the wings of Simon Cowell (Groups category).

The X Factor USA Top 3 each sang three songs last night: their favorite performance (billed as "song of the season," a duet with celebrities (LeAnn Rimes to Carly, Little Big Town to Tate and Demi Lovato to Fifth Harmony), and the winner's song which was billed as the "$5 million song."

Tate Steven has always been a favorite and on top of the results board week by week.

The X Factor USA 2012 Top 4 Results Show: Top 3 Acts Enter Finale, Emblem 3 Eliminated!

The X Factor USA Season 2 Top 4 results night happened December 13 (December 14, MLA time) and the Top 3 finalists that will battle in the finale were revealed. Emblem3 from Simon Cowell's Groups category was eliminated, losing their ticket to the finale.

The Top 3 was determined by America's votes and the judges—Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid—had no power to send someone home so it's how America wanted the finale to be. They are Fifth Harmony (Simon Cowell's Groups), Tate Stevens (L.A. Reid's Over 25s) and Carly Rose Sonenclar (Britney Spears' Teens)

Before Emblem 3 bade goodbye, Bruno Mars got to perform his latest single Locked Out of Heaven from his newly-released album "Unorthodox Jukebox."

Last night, The X Factor USA Season 2 Top 4 Carly Rose Sonenclar, Tate Stevens, Fifth Harmony and Emblem 3 all took on two songs—one they have chosen for themselves and the other one chosen by their mentors. Emblem 3 performed Baby, I Love Your Way by Peter Frampton and Hey Jude by The Beatles (as chosen by Simon) and though their song selections fitted their style, it's not enough to impress America that much.

So, it's Carly versus Tate versus Fifth Harmony in The X Factor US Season 2 Finale.

The two-night grand finale of The X Factor USA 2012 will happen on December 19 and 20 airing at around 8-10 PM on Fox. The star-studded event will feature special performances, surprise guests and more before  the revelation of The X Factor US grand winner who will take home a $5 million contract.

Justin Bieber Makes Fun of Manny Pacquiao, Instagram Photos Go Viral

Canadian popstar Justin Bieber became the subject of online hate among Pacquiao fans and disappointment from Pinoys after he posted a series of photos on Instagram making fun of Pacquiao's knock out loss with Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez.

Last December 8, Manny Pacquiao suffered a 6th round knockout from Marquez in Las Vegas and as Filipinos grieve his loss, many other make fun of it and posted several memes on social networking sites mocking the knockout moment of Pacquiao (those what they call Mannying and Pacquiaoing). However, Justin Bieber's posts have been more viral.

Bieber posted three photos on his Instagram account, one showing Marquez's knock down moment from Mayweather during their fight in 2009 captioned "Look what Mayweather did to Marquez.. #moneyteam #nocompetition."

Two other photos showed Pacquiao's knockout moment from Marquez, one pasted on the photo of the late Michael Jackson performing on stage with his signature move and the other one with a Simba icon waking up the motionless Pacquiao. The photos caption read: "Pacquiao doing the lean with MJ .. Classic moment" and "Dad wake up."

Justin Bieber, who is known to be a proud supporter of American boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. also commented on the idea of a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout, an exact opposite of what he tweeted years ago when Pacquiao defeated Margarito and he supporting the idea of Pacquiao vs Mayweather as an epic battle.

“He has nothing to gain fighting pacqiao, Floyd has never in his professional career lost a fight and Pacqiao lost his last two fights. If Floyd wins its not that big of a deal Cuz it would be his third loss in a row, and lf he loses he's gonna ruin his legacy either way there's no big win for Mayweather.. Mayweather is boxing.”
