HOLLYWOOD UPDATES
Los Angeles: Model Kendall Jenner has dismissed reports suggesting that she is dating rapper Young Jinsu.
Following a report that she is dating Jinsu, Kendall, 17, took to Twitter to tell her followers that it was false.
"Enough with the rumors. I`m single, people," she tweeted.
Kendall`s mother Kris Jenner also cleared the reports, saying, "It`s not her boyfriend. She doesn`t have a boyfriend."
A magazine previously reported that the reality star was romantically linked to the 21-year-old rapper.
"They`re dating - it`s been at least a few months. They`ve been getting closer recently, and they`ve been hanging out all the time," a source said.
The source also claimed that Kendall and Young were planning to go public with their relationship after her birthday on November 3.
"They have that spark right now - they`re just really feeling each other. They`re not putting it out there yet," the source explained.
The rapper, who was previously linked to Justin Bieber`s ex-girlfriend Jasmine V, recently shared a photo of him and a girl who appears to be Kendall on Instagram. The photo shows the girl making heart sign with her hands.
Nicole Scherzinger, Lewis Hamilton meet secretly
The duo, who dated each other for over seven years, are going through a rough patch in their relationship. But now they are trying to sort out the differences.
"They were determined to keep the meeting under wraps, which is why they chose a hotel that isn`t used much by celebrities," thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
Their secret plan failed when Hamilton`s car broke down on their way back and mechanics were called. That is how everyone got to know about their meeting.
"Nicole will be livid that Lewis` car broke down because that`s what meant their cover was blown. He had to get out to let the mechanics sort out the issue," said the source.
"There`s something that keeps pulling them back together. Lewis even took his dog Roscoe so Nicole could see it," the source added.
James Blunt's new album is honest
London: Singer James Blunt says his new album `Moon Landing` is honest and features heartfelt songs written specifically for his own fans.
The `I`ll Be Your Man` hitmaker is releasing his fourth studio album `Moon Landing`.
Blunt believes the LP is a step away from his third album, `Some Kind of Trouble`, which he produced because it was his job to do so.
"My first album was done out of love, joy and a pleasure, and was a thrill to do. On the second one you`re riding out this wave and by the third you`re treating it like a job, perhaps. So when it came to this record I just wanted it to be honest and not written for any audience but my own," Blunt said.
The 39-year-old musician lives on the famous party island of Ibiza where he is a regular club goer and although he is constantly questioned about when he is going to make a dance album he insists he is going to stick to his trademark acoustic tracks which are inspired by romance.
"People ask me when I am going to make my Ibiza album but I don`t write those sort of songs. I write sensitive and romantic songs as we all have days of isolation, misery, sadness and insecurities," he added.

Miley Cyrus buys car for pets
Cyrus owns five pooches - Happy, Bean, Floyd, Mary Jane and Penny Lane. She has bought a Range Rover Sport car for them to travel around, reports dailystar.co.uk.
"Last week she bought a white Maserati Quattroporte and a red Porsche Cayenne for herself," said a source.
"But she also splashed out 100,000 pounds on a Range Rover Sport. The dogs are banned from her cars, but they basically own the Range Rover," the source added.
The friendly canines are allowed to do whatever they want in their own car.
"They`re free to jump around, leave their hair over it, scratch it and have their blankets in there. Miley even joked that if she dies, the Range Rover will go to them," said the source.
"I do not miss the drugs at all. I`ve done it, 100 lifetimes worth, I can`t even handle a hangover anymore," dailystar.co.uk quoted Katona as saying.
Engaged to George Kay, the 33-year-old, who has four children and is expecting her fifth child, does not wish to change anything about the way she leads her life.
"I`m not going to sit here with regret, I definitely would not change anything," said Katona.
"If I was to change something, I wouldn`t be the person I am today. I wouldn`t have the four amazing children I have. I wouldn`t have met George," she added.
Huntington-Whiteley eagerly waited for three hours and then gave up, reports contactmusic.com.
"I was standing there going, `Oh my God, I`m going to meet Rihanna`. I stood there and 20 minutes went by, and as more time went by the more nervous I got," Huntington-Whiteley said on a radio show.
"Then, after about three hours of waiting, I was like, `I`ve had enough`," she added.
Review: 'Carrie' Remake Is Nothing New, and Nothing New Audiences Will Revere 
Second, we have the group who never got around to De Palma's Carrie, or at least who do not remember it with any particular fondness, but who hold Stephen King's novel in high regard. A group who might expect the epistolary form of the narrative to translate to screen in some inventive way, telling Carrie White's story the way that King did back in his early days.
Finally, the youngest of the lot: those who never saw, never read, maybe even never heard of Carrie, but who are flocking to theaters out of love for the young Moretz and in hopes of a good scare. These are likely to be the participants most satisfied — although it is the goal to approach every new feature film as a work independent from all predecessors and source material, anyone who has seen the '76 Carrie will have a hard time eviscerating the connotations from his or her head while watching the new venture.
Just shy of a shot-for-shot remake, Peirce's Carrie doesn't come through on many of the progressive tones or innovations than might arise from connotations with the film's director. When the film does deviate, those in the know will wonder why — why the transformation of the Billy Nolan character (played here by Alex Russell, previously by Jon Travolta) from lowly dufus into a criminal mastermind? Why the changes in Carrie's understanding of her classmates' ultimate misdeed (we won't say more, just in case you're in Category 3), or in her scenes at home to follow? To those who can't seem to get De Palma off the mind, it'll be difficult to justify these very few changes... especially in light of the overwhelming presence of his shadow cast by the new movie's decision to operate in such conjunction with everything we saw in the '76 version (even including the comic relief "gettin' ready for prom" scene).
But even those without a Carrie on their shoulders will feel that this film lacks the gravity it intends. The glossy feel of this Hollywood high school robs Carrie White of her desperation, her classmates of their cruelty, and the climax of its authentic severity. The only place where Carrie does knock its powerful material out of the park is with Julianne Moore, whose Margaret White is so impressively chilling, so embedded in darkness and fear that she's genuinely difficult to watch. But in the otherwise "campy" world of this Carrie, Margaret and the third act darkness just feels dreadfully unpleasant, and to no identifiable end.
What is Carrie saying and doing with all this horror? Unhooking itself from the clasps of dramatic weight, genre fun, and cinematic tribute, the film floats freely without much of an identity. Although the material is enough to get you through the movie, and the performances decent enough to at least see where a new life might have been breathed into a more inventive script, you won't leave Carrie without much in the way of answers. Just one big question: "Why did they bother?"
Lydia from 'Breaking Bad' Is Coming to ABC in 'The Black Box'
Breaking Bad has a number of great villains swirling around the Albuquerque desert, but few were as entertaining as the tea-sipping Lydia. She is pure evil in a grey pantsuit, and would easily have her enemies dispatched while taking in a soothing slurp of herbal tea (sweetened with Stevia of course). Now, the actress behind the character, Laura Fraser, has joined ABC’s upcoming series The Black Box, TV Line reports.
We're excited to see an actor as talented as Fraser continue to find work in this post-Breaking Bad world we now inhabit, but we're also hoping, in the irrational parts of our brains, that she might make some kind of appearance in the upcoming Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan said he would like to have Breaking Bad stars make cameos in the new show so lets keep hope alive. Let's also push down nagging questions like "Does that make sense chronologically?" deep into our guts where they can't interfere with our reckless TV wishes.
The Black Box is a limited series that focuses on Elizabeth Black (Kelly Reilly), a gifted Neuroscientist who struggles with mental illness. We’re hoping that Fraser brings her own version of 100 percent naturally sweetened evil to ABC's upcoming drama.
Heartbreak In Hollywood: Celeb Breakups 2013
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth called it quits after their year-long engagement. They confirmed in September what we had been hearing rumors of for almost as long as we’ve been hearing about their engagement.
As heartbreaking as it is to hear, no one can deny the rumors anymore. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are taking some time apart. No legal action has been taken yet, and fingers crossed none will be taken in the future. Maybe if they hold out to 2014 they can come out on top and together again.
Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, two beloved Game of Thrones stars, called it quits earlier this year. Fortunately for Harington, Leslie wasn’t as heart broken as her character was over Jon Snow. No arrows in the back needed here folks!
Surprising almost nobody, George Clooney and Stacy Keibler split this summer. Another one bites the dust! Oh wait, too soon?
The Vampire Diaries stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev broke many beating hearts in May after their rumored split. Their love is still hanging on in The CW’s show, but who can deny Somerhalder’s not so cryptic tweet on May 9: ‘A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: People change and forget to tell each other. –Lillian Hellman, playwright (1904-1984).’
Hopefully the remainder of 2013 will stay quiet with the news of heartbreak in Hollywood and maybe 2014 will bring together happier and long lasting relationships for all.
'Short Term 12' Breakout Star Brie Larson in Talks for 'The Gambler'
Along with Larson, Jessica Lange is also being considered for a role in the film. Lange is already doling out a weekly dose of scares on her FX drama series American Horror Story. The legendary actress will help add even more acting prowess to a film that seems to be culling performers from all over the cinematic landscape.
The 50-year-old diva, who was last seen in ‘English Vinglish’, which won her many accolades, seems that she is very careful about making choice for her next movie role.
According to a tabloid, Sridevi has said ‘no’ to a villainous role offered by Abhishek Kapoor in his upcoming movie ‘Fitoor’- which is said to be based on Charles Dickens’ ‘Great Expectations’.
Sridevi, who wooed the audience by her effortless illustration of a greedy and selfish character in the movie ‘Judaai’, rejected the offer as playing a negative role wasn’t a right choice for her.
“Everyone is waiting to see what her next film is after `English Vinglish`. The film has Katrina Kaif as the leading lady. Sushant Singh Rajput, who was earlier a part of the film, recently walked out of the project.
Abhishek wanted Sridevi for a role, which was played by Robert De Niro in the 1998 big screen version of the novel. Abhishek tweaked the script and made it female-oriented," a source said.
On the other hand, an insider from the production house said, “Sridevi couldn’t be part of the film, as she thought she wasn’t the right choice for the role.”
It seems Sridevi is being selective about choosing her next movie keeping in mind the necessity to make her upcoming movie a better watch than ‘English Vinglish’.
Ready to playback for any actress: Priyanka Chopra
"I want to playback for some other heroine. I think it will be very interesting. If I like the song, I am okay with (doing) it, but I should like the song. I am ready to playback for any actress," Priyanka said here.
"I think it will be fun and very exciting," she added.
The actress, who will next be seen in `Krrish 3`, has been experimenting with different genres of films because she likes to take risks.
"I want to do different things. I am a risk-taker I want to be a game changer in my personal career. I don`t want to follow anybody`s footsteps. I did music... I want to change the game. Maybe I will fail, but at least I want to try," she said.
So far, Priyanka has launched two international singles - `In my city` and `Exotic`.
Bigg Boss 7: Love stories and popularity contests.
At the end of the previous episode there were people seen lurking around the Bigg Boss house. With a commotion starting off at the Jahannum section with stuntmen breaking down doors and windows. The Hell – Vaasis were led to the jannat area and the former was cordoned off.
Within the commotion yoga expert Vivek Mishra joined the show.
The latest episode saw the house inmates learning yoga from Vivek, albeit not to too seriously. But the fun part of the episode began when almost everyone started discussing the obvious chemistry between actors Armaan and Tanishaa.
Shilpa Saklani and her husband Apoorva Agnihotri sit with new entrant Vivek, discussing how Tanishaa is staining her family reputation. Gauhar and Kushal also have the same concern at the earlier. The drama doesn’t end here. TV starlet Pratyusha also tells Armaan clearly that she has driften apart from him due to his closeness with Tanishaa, and Tanishaa has only created a gap between the two friends.
Armaan doesn’t look to upset about this but nevertheless discusses the problem with Tanishaa, who dismisses it.
On the other hand, Bigg Boss gives the housemates a task of electing themselves from most popular to least popular.
Armaan argues that he has done 17 films of which 3 are silver jubilee. Gauhar however questions what the criteria for popularity should be and claims that she has been a fashion A lister for a long time and even has a dedicated show for herself.
Many arguments and statements later, Pratyusha is elected the winner while Kushal is the second runner up.
Between the competition and the love angles, the show is getting more and more masaledar as the days go by. What say?

Adnan Sami faces tax evasion issues?
New Delhi: After being grilled for his illegal stay in India, Pakistani singer Adnan Sami is once again in the limelight for allegedly evading tax on 15 shows in India since July.
According to a tabloid, the singer, who has recently been granted 3 months visa extension by the Ministry of Home Affairs, has new issues to sort out now.
On Oct 15, when a team of officials visited Sami’s residence to collect certain documents under the orders of Service Tax Commissioner, R Sekar, found that the singer did not pay taxes for 15 performances he did in India since July 2012. Following this, the officials also issued summons, asking him to be present before the department on Monday.
“We have registered a case against Sami, and have also issued summons to him,” the Deputy Commissioner (Service Tax) Sameer Wankhede said.
On the other hand, Sami on being questioned by the officials on the issue of unpaid tax said that the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) had frozen his accounts, which is why he was unable to pay the money.
The officials are currently investigating the matter and will soon decide the amount the singer has to fork out.
Talking to the tabloid, the singer said, “There is no accusation or allegation of tax evasion. I have only received summons to appear and provide certain documents. I am doing so as I have always been a taxpayer and law abiding citizen. I would be happy to provide any documents necessary to assist the department.”

Rishi Kapoor to play father to Abhishek Bachchan
Mumbai: Rishi Kapoor has donned many feathers on his cap and now the veteran is all set to play a father to Abhishek Bachchan in a film.
His association with the Bachchans is quite old. Rishi in his younger days worked with Abhi`s father Amitabh Bachchan in many films- ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, ‘Kabhie Kabhie’ being just few of the names on the list.
According to reports from a leading daily Umesh Shukla’s next movie stars the Rishi and Abhishek in father-son’s avatar in ‘Mere Apne’.
The daily quoted Umesh as saying, “"Rishiji is playing Abhishek`s father and the film is about family values, but it`s not preachy. It has humour, fun and entertainment, which I think should be its USP."
‘Mere Apne’, which is slated to release sometime late next year also reportedly stars Asin Thottumkal opposite Junior Bachchan. The director had initially approached Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diana Penty but both of them refused owing to reasons unknown.
Umesh comes with this movie after ‘OMG: Oh My God!’, which did well at the Box Office and was very well received by the audience for its fresh content. His next project is slated to be ‘102 Not Out’, starring Amitabh Bachchan, and is based on a Gujarati play.
