Robert Pattinson Explains Why He Turned Down Simon Cowell's Music Deal
"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson turned down a lucrative record deal with Simon Cowell because he was convinced no one would like his music. The actor, who plays guitar and piano, and composes his own songs, has rejected offers from several major music companies and admits former "American Idol" judge Cowell was desperate to recruit him for his own firm.
But Pattinson insists he wouldn't fit in with the realityTV star's talent roster - because Cowell only works with artists who are popular with the public. He says, "I love Simon, I think he is a great personality and I think his shows are entertaining. He is a clever guy and he created artists that he knows the public will like, that's why I don't think he could ever launch my music career."
"I am selfish with my music. I get my guitar and I play what I like, but the problem is I don't think many other people would like it." But Pattinson is confident his music will be appreciated someday, adding: "I am sure I'll be one of those artists that people don't pay any attention to while I'm alive, and when I am dead people will go yeah, man, that was a work of art."

'Paranormal Activity 2' Scares Others at Box Office, Breaks Another Record
Paramount is never wrong for investing in "Paranormal Activity 2". Made with not more than $3 million budget, the movie has raked in an estimated $41.5 million over its first weekend. This number subsequently makes the film the new record holder of the largest three-day opening for a horror film as it surpasses the $40.6 million tally made by 2009 "Friday the 13th".
This "Paranormal Activity" sequel has given good news to Paramount since its opening day, grossing $6.3 million from midnight shows on Friday, October 22. The number broke R-rated midnight record which was previously held by 2009 "Watchmen" with $4.6 million.
According to Paramount, 61 percent of the audience was less than 25 years old. On their effective promotional method, Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore says, "Instead of approaching (the marketing) as you would on a big tentpole or sequel, the campaign was done by giving the online fans ... clues and pieces of information about the movie before they saw it on any advertising materials," referring to the movie clips mysteriously sent to several blogs and media outlets.
Last week's champion "Jackass 3D" drops about 57.1% in ticket sales, sitting on number two with an additional $21.6 million cume. "Red" also drops one place from second to third, adding an approximately $15 million to its domestic revenue.
On number four there is "Hereafter (2010)" which makes a high jump from number 28 after it expanded from six theaters into 2,181 locations this weekend. This results in an additional $12 million tally. "The Social Network" rounds up the top five with an approximately $7.3 million gross.

George Lucas NOT Planning New 'Star Wars' Trilogy
There will be no new "Star Wars " films in the foreseeable future. In contrary to previous report that George Lucas is pitching a new trilogy of the hit sci-fi movie series, a spokesman for his production company Lucasfilm claims the story is not true.
"This is, of course, completely false," the spokesman, Josh Kushins, tells Wired.com via email. "George Lucas has plenty of projects to keep him busy right now - including plenty of Star Wars projects - but there are no new Star Wars feature films planned."
The denial is released after IESB reported on Friday, October 22 that an "ultra top-secret Lucasfilm insider" informed them the new trilogy would land after the planned 3-D conversion of the six "Star Wars" films. The site additionally claimed the new projects would not be prequels but instead sequels and they have nothing to do with the live action television series currently in development.
Reactions from fans were varied regarding the rumor. "I, personally, would love to see another trilogy, so long as it doesn't overlook everything that has happened post-[Return of the Jedi], like the Thrawn trilogy/Legacy of the Force/Fate of the Jedi," so wrote ObiWanJedi93 on TheForce.net's Star Wars community board. Meanwhile, Princess Namey on an Adult Swim message board thread was a bit skeptical, stating "Oh gawd why!? Why can't [Lucas] try and make 'original' movies again, and leave Star Wars alone?"
In the meantime, fans can expect to see their favorite films in 3-D theaters, starting with "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" in 2012. 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm have not announced an exact release date, but it was said they eye a date around Valentine'sDay
