Official: Emma Stone Is Cast in 'Spider-Man', but Not as Mary Jane

Columbia Pictures has just addressed the buzzing report about Emma Stone's casting in "Spider-Man" reboot. Confirming that the actress has indeed been cast in the film, the studio has also made it clear which role that will be tackled by her.

James Vanderbilt has written the script for the movie which is produced by Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin. This superhero flick will be released in theaters nationwide in 3-D on July 3, 2012.

'Transformers 3' Extra Suing Paramount After Injured on Set

A family of "Transformers 3" extra, Gabriela Cedillo, who was injured on the set has taken legal action against Paramount Pictures regarding the accident. Her brother Adolfo Romo has filed a lawsuit against the studio on Tuesday, October 5, citing negligence, Radar Online reports.

The documents mention that numerous mechanical and procedural malfunctions caused the incident. It subsequently accused those involved in the production for failing "to properly weld the metal bracket to the stunt car" and "to provide adequate safety precautions," and allowing "untrained extras to drive their own vehicles within close proximity to a violent stunt."

"We filed a case this morning in Chicago and made a request for a jury trial," Cedillo's attorney Todd A. Smith tells Radar Online. Romo, in total, is seeking money in excess of $50,000 on counts of negligence against seven companies and individuals involved. Smith adds, "All of these entities played a role in some respect as to what happened."

Cedillo herself has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago on Friday, October 1. "She's unable to speak and is paralyzed on her left side... It looks like she has vision loss in the left eye, which is sewn shut because there's a paralysis associated with that and they don't want her eye to dry out," the attorney details her condition. "Gabriela is somewhat responsive and the family is hopeful that she will continue to take these small strides."

As reported before, Cedillo was driving a car when stunt vehicles being towed by flatbed trucks drove in the opposite lane in excess of 50 miles per hour, as part of a stunt being filmed on September 1 in Chicago for "Transformers 3". The cable towing one of the stunt cars came loose, whipping through Cedillo's car window and striking her in the head.

Paramount recently offers their sympathy regarding the accident, stating "Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Gabriela, her family and loved ones. The production will continue to provide all the help we can to Gabriela and her family during this difficult time." Due to the incident, the filming in Chicago was wrapped earlier and was not rescheduled.

"Transformers 3", which is directed by Michael Bay and starring Shia LaBeouf, still sticks to its U.S. release schedule of July 1, 2011.

Leona Lewis Thinks Lady GaGa's Meat Dress 'Gross'

Staunch vegetarian Leona Lewis has criticized Lady GaGa for wearing a dress made of meat - branding the outfit "gross". The "Bleeding Love" hitmaker is a dedicated animal rights campaigner, and even banned meat from her recent tour.

And Lewis admits she was stunned when she saw Lady GaGa walk the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards last month in a gown made entirely of slabs of beef. She tells X magazine, "It was gross! I don't even like walking past a meat counter - so it's not my sort of dress. And I won't have meat all over my body."

GaGa has defended her decision to wear the controversial outfit, insisting she didn't mean any "disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian".

Michael Jackson Agreed to Help Cover Father's Living Expenses

Michael Jackson paid his mother Katherine an extra $16,000-a-month to help support his father Joe Jackson in the years leading up to his death, according to new legal documents. The King of Pop's financial records have come under scrutiny after Joe filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the singer's embattled physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, following allegations the medic administered a fatal dose of the anesthetic Propofol.

He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and is awaiting a preliminary hearing in January 2011 to determine if he will face trial. But the Jackson patriarch is seeking unspecified damages from Murray, and new papers recently filed in a Los Angeles court suggest Michael agreed to the increased payment to his mum to help cover Joe's living expenses.

A sworn statement submitted by Michael's alleged former manager, Leonard Rowe, claims Katherine acted as the late star's agent and handed over cash to Joe, according to TMZ. Other court documents, including a declaration from Joe's lawyer Brian Oxman, stated the "Thriller" hitmaker was paying Katherine 50,000 pound sterling in the early 2000s, but later upped the amount to $66,000, to take care of the family patriarch too.

Frankie Muniz Calls Shia LaBeouf 'Creepy'

Former "Malcolm in the Middle" star Frankie Muniz has reignited his war of words with Shia LaBeouf by labeling the actor "creepy" for talking about him in interviews. The "Transformers" star mentioned his fellow former child star in a recent chat with American radio program "The Bert Show".

When the host asked LaBeouf about his movie success, he replied, "While that's flattering as hell, you could have put Frankie Muniz into any of the movies I've been in and those movies still would've still been No. 1." And when asked whether he feared any reprisals from Muniz over the comment if they met at a party, he added, "I don't go to many parties... and I really don't hang out in Frankie Muniz-type zones."

And Muniz, who has quit acting to pursue a music career, is not happy about LaBeouf's remarks. In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Dear Shia Labeouf. It's getting creepy the fact that you can't stop talking about me. It's been 12 years now. I don't know you. Thanks."

The pair previously became embroiled in a public spat in 2003 after LaBeouf accused Muniz of "looking down" on him at parties. He said, "I used to see him at premieres and stuff and it would always be like he was looking down on me. And then it turned into we're equal, and then it turned into, 'Oh Frankie, I know that guy'."

John Mayer Quits Twitter in the Name of Art

Last month, "Your Body Is a Wonderland" hitmaker John Mayer decided to say goodbye to his Twitter followers. And now, Mayer took to his official site to explain his retirement from the micro-blogging site. "It occurred to me that since the invocation of Twitter, nobody who has participated in it has created any lasting art," the singer started.

"And yes! Yours truly is included in that roundup as well. Let me make sure that statement is as absolute and irrevocable as possible by buzzing your tower one more time," Mayer added. The ex-boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston later trashed Twitter users, writing "No artwork created by someone with a healthy grasp of social media thus far has proven to be anything other than disposable."

Mayer then gave examples on some stars who didn't use Twitter yet they are able to create "their best works" such as Tina Fey for "penning the best show on television" as well as Aaron Sorkin, who never uses Facebook, for his "artistic contribution that the media sites are talking about so much."

"Those who decide to remain offline will make better work than those online. Why?" Mayer mused. "Because great ideas have to gather. They have to pass the test of withstanding thirteen different moods, four different months and sixty different edits. Anything less is day trading. You can either get a bunch of mentions now or change someone's life next year."

Again, Mayer snipped, "I'm not knocking Twitter for those who are trying to make a name for themselves. Some people need all the RTs they can get today. But for those who have already established themselves it's a slow erosion of the artistic notion."

Daniel Radcliffe Offers Emotional Support for Bullied Kids

"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe is urging teenagers to offer emotional support to gay peers who become the victims of homophobic bullies following the recent suicides of tormented youths in America. The actor is a long-standing supporter of the Trevor Project, a non-profit group dedicated to crisis support and suicide prevention for youths questioning sexuality issues.

He filmed a public service announcement (PSA) earlier this year urging youths to "be proud" of who they are - and he's reiterating his stance in the wake of a string of apparent suicides linked to sexuality. The most recent, the death of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi last week, sparked outrage after it was revealed his college roommate allegedly posted footage of him having sex with another man online.

And the actor is calling for the needless deaths to stop. Radcliffe says, "Learning about the suicide deaths of Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Asher Walker, Billy Lucas and Justin Aaberg has been heartbreaking for me. These young people were bullied and tormented by people that should have been their friends."

"We have a responsibility to be better to each other, and accept each others' differences regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, or religion and stand up for someone when they're bullied. When a friend is feeling depressed or says they're thinking of killing themselves, we must take it seriously and get them help."

'The Social Network' Tops Box Office, 'Let Me In' Not Scary Enough

Facebook has proven to be a moneymaker and the movie is no different. Picking up the story of the site creation by Mark Zuckerberg and his friends, "The Social Network" wins the attention of moviegoers, making it nab the first place at North American Box Office in its first week with an estimated $23 million cume.

"It's playing very broadly, and this is a terrific start," Sony distribution president Rory Bruer says about the Jesse Eisenberg-starring film which has been hailed by movie critics. "For an adult drama, this is a terrific opening," he further gushes. "It's not going to open like a romantic comedy or an action adventure, but it's going to stay around longer."

Other newcomers do not manage to reach high positions like "Social Network" does. "Let Me In", which has another vampire-themed story, debuts at the eighth with an estimated $5.3 million. "Case 39", which had been shelved for a long time before it was finally released in early October, is on the seventh with a slightly bigger revenue of $5.4 million.

"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" still secures the runner-up title with an additional $10.8 million revenue. Last week's winner "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" drops to the third with an estimated $10.1 million gross (down 46.9%).

"The Town" and "Easy A" drop one position each. The crime drama, which is directed by Ben Affleck, lands on the fourth with an approximately $10 million haul, followed by the teen comedy which adds an estimated $7 million to its domestic gross.

It turned out that Justin Bieber is nothing but a "dork" for Selena Gomez. The "Wizards of Waverly Place" star used the term to describe fellow teen star Justin during an interview with BBC's "The 5:19 Show" on Friday, October 1.

Though she and Justin, who is two years younger than her, have been friends for quite some time, Selena again added without hesitation, "He's just not cool. I get it - when he has his swag on, he's definitely cool, he's got it going on - but when he doesn't, he's just funny."

Later, when AJ and Tom asked about whether or not she and Justin have love in the air, Selena simply said, "He's like my little brother."

 A sex tape featuring Tiger Woods is reportedly being shopped around by porn star Devon James. Devon, who counted herself as Tiger's former mistress, told Radar Online about the X-rated footage before flying from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles to meet with porn company Vivid Entertainment.

"The tape is 62 minutes long and 37 minutes of it is us having sex. We are flying to Los Angeles today to meet with Vivid about selling the tape," Devon said on Wednesday, September 29. The porn star further revealed that she and Tiger filmed the alleged tape in 2008.

Being aware that the alleged explicit video will be an explosive one, Devon stated, "This sex tape is worth at least $350,000. If Vivid won't pay enough, we're going to self-release the tape... It's going to be the bomb." Founder and co-chairman of Vivid, Steve Hirsch, in the meantime told the site, "We can't comment at this time."

Before making the sex tape claim, Devon has also made a headline by alleging Tiger fathered her nine-year-old son, Austin. She forced Tiger to submit to DNA testing as part of her paternity suit. However, the professional golfer was later cleared out of the case on August 17 when Devon failed to show up for a hearing.

Additionally, Devon's mother Sandra Brinling has previously described her daughter as a liar. Sandra told the site amidst the paternity claim, "My daughter is nothing but a pathological liar... there was no relationship with Tiger Woods."
