The song, titled “Mountains”, was released last month, and in a departure from his parents musical stylings, the song is an atmospheric, R&b-influenced bop.
“I’ve been talking to the mountains/Cause they can’t run away from me, no,” he sings on the track. “They’re confusing all that we know/What’s really going on around us.”
In 2012, when he was just 17, rowan spoke about his musical ambitions, and making sure his work as a budding artist doesn’t get stolen.
“Kids don’t realize you send one of your voice memos and someone can just go and steal that now,...

The Twilight films saw Taylor Lautner frequently going shirtless for several scenes. But it wasn’t a reputation he wanted to carry on to other movies if it wasn’t required.

It required a lot of effort on Lautner’s part to obtain the kind of physique that he had in the Twilight films. This included sometimes following a careful and heavy diet while spending several hours in the gym. On the podcast The Squeeze (via Yahoo), Lautner explained that he jumped from 140 to 175 between the first Twilight and its sequel. The 35-pound difference demonstrated the massive results of his training regimen.
But reflecting on his training, he discovered that maintaining the physique had an unexpected side-effect on his mental health.

Most people know Rebecca Black from her viral video, “Friday,” but the singer is ready to move on from her reputation as a meme. From a debut album to a new relationship, Black is ready to become a legitimate music industry star.
How ‘Friday’ made Rebecca Black a viral star
Black was just 13 years old when “Friday” was released. The teen was an aspiring pop star and paid Los Angeles record label Ark Music Factory $4,000 to write and produce a single for her, as well as make a music video.
The video quickly blew up online, inspiring parody versions, late night television jokes, and a large amount of online vitriol directed at Black. There were some upsides to her overnight fame, though.
The highs and lows of Rebecca Black’s fame, from appearing in Katy Perry videos to dealing with online hate

Adolphe Menjou movies today (This article is currently being revised.) Despite countless stories to the contrary, numerous silent film performers managed to survive the coming of sound. Adolphe Menjou, however, is a special case in that he not only remained a leading man in the early sound era, but smoothly made the transition to top supporting player in mid-decade, a position he would continue to hold for the quarter of a century. Menjou is Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Day today, Aug. 3, as part of TCM's "Summer Under the Stars" 2015 series. Right now, TCM is showing William A. Wellman's A Star Is Born, the "original" version of the story about a small-town girl (Janet Gaynor) who becomes a Hollywood star, while her husband (Fredric March) boozes his way into oblivion. In typical Hollywood originality (not that things are any different elsewhere), this 1937 version of the story – produced by...

Mary Boland movies: Scene-stealing actress has her ‘Summer Under the Stars’ day on TCM Turner Classic Movies will dedicate the next 24 hours, Sunday, August 4, 2013, not to Lana Turner, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Esther Williams, or Bette Davis — TCM’s frequent Warner Bros., MGM, and/or Rko stars — but to the marvelous scene-stealer Mary Boland. A stage actress who was featured in a handful of movies in the 1910s, Boland came into her own as a stellar film supporting player in the early ’30s, initially at Paramount and later at most other Hollywood studios. First, the bad news: TCM’s "Summer Under the Stars" Mary Boland Day will feature only two movies from Boland’s Paramount period: the 1935 Best Picture Academy Award nominee Ruggles of Red Gap, which TCM has shown before, and one TCM premiere. So, no rarities like Secrets of a Secretary, Mama Loves Papa, Melody in Spring,...

Being mean has worked! For Despicable Me earned an estimated $60.1 million for the weekend, proving, yet again, that animated flicks are not just for kids. And it, along with Toy Story 3, will be two of summer’s biggest success stories. The other new wide release, Predators starring Adrian Brody, earned an estimated $25.3 million for the weekend–above expectations and better than the majority of other Predator movies released over the last 23 years. The performances of these two films plus the strong holds of Toy Story, Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Grown Ups helped boost the box office up a remarkable 40 percent over last year at this time when Bruno opened to $30.6 million.

After a lackluster start to the summer, things got rolling again in June thanks to strong performances from Toy Story 3 and The Karate Kid. That momentum is likely to continue in to July with the launch of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and the rest of July is filled out with a host of potentially crowd-pleasing fare like Inception, Salt, The Last Airbender and Dinner for Schmucks. It would take exceptional numbers, though, for July 2010 to exceed July 2008's record $1.27 billion total, but July 2009's $1.05 billion should be within reach. Eclipse opens June 30, but it's effectively a July release because its first weekend starts July 2. The third Twilight movie hits theaters just over seven months after The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which set the opening day record ($72.7 million) and ultimately collected $296.6 million. The history of closely-timed, serialized sequels like The Matrix Revolutions and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End...

Elegant star of Us TV series from the 1950s onwards
For any regular television viewer in the 1960s and 70s, the elegant actor Gene Barry, who has died aged 90, was inescapable. Most prominent was his portrayal of the Los Angeles police captain Amos Burke in 81 episodes of Burke's Law (1963-66). No ordinary cop, Burke was an immaculately dressed, jet-setting millionaire bachelor who left his Beverly Hills mansion in a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce to investigate a murder. Barry as Burke, a wisecracking, sophisticated ladies' man, was the nearest thing on TV to Cary Grant.
Each episode – bursting with Hollywood guest stars, one of whom was revealed as a murderer – allowed Burke to deliver an aphorism such as "never drink martinis with beautiful suspects: Burke's Law", or "never ask a question unless you already know the answer. Burke's Law".
Before playing Burke, Barry had triumphed in the western TV series Bat Masterson (1958-...
