Having already won Grammys, toured around the globe and sold million copies of their albums, Evanescence are now eying to get hired by Summit Entertainment to write a song for "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I". In fact, they already have one perfect song for the movie.
"I've been screaming for [new song] 'My Heart Is Broken' to land in that, because I think it would fit the story so well. I got sucked into the 'Twilight' vortex by the girls at home, so by default, I've got to watch it," drummer Will Hunt said during an interview with MTV recently. Amy Lee added, "I think that would be awesome."
In the past, Amy actually had tried to write song for the Robert Pattinson-starring film. Recalling how she joined the Twihards, she stated, "I didn't watch the first movie - I was like, 'Yeah, whatever. I got over vampires in high school' - then they were like, 'Maybe you should write a song for the movie,' so I read the book and I wrote some songs."
"It didn't work out because they have all these cool hipster people that are doing the 'Twilight' stuff," Amy revealed how the project ended. Nonetheless, it didn't stop the frontwoman from continuing to read the Stephenie Meyer book series. "I was kind of into it," she reasoned. "So I read the next books."
Evanescence recently released a brand new song called "What You Want" to mark their comeback from hiatus. The "Going Under" hitmakers, who once landed their song "Bring Me to Life" in 2003's "Daredevil, The Movie", have filmed a music video for the single and are expected to premiere it sometime soon.
Warner Bros. Pictures are done with "Harry Potter" film franchise, but are yet to let go some masterminds behind it. According to HitFix, the studio are finalizing the deals for David Yates and Steve Kloves, who have collaborated on the last three "Harry Potter" movies, to work together again for "The Stand".
Yates, who directed the final four "Harry Potter" film installments, is reportedly projected to step behind the camera. As for Kloves who penned all "Harry Potter" movies except "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", he will likely provide the script.
"The Stand" is said to be made into multi movies. Adapted from Stephen King's novel of the same title, it is set in a time after a virus wipes out most of the American population. This story of good vs. evil will focus on a group of survivors fighting the Antichrist-like Randall Flagg while it features dozens of characters and overlapping storylines running over many years.
A brand new still from "Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol" has just arrived, giving a look at Tom Cruise who looks fierce as he throws a steely gaze at the camera. The Ethan Hunt depicter wears a black hoodie and plants his hands in the pockets of his jacket. He's surrounded by smokes and flames coming from the explosion behind him.
The fourth installment of "Mission: Impossible" franchise, the action movie will follow Ethan and his team as they go undercover to clear their name after they were blamed for a terrorist bombing. While trying to find out the true mastermind behind the crime, they have to dodge the government to avoid being captured and charged for something they didn't do.
The film is supported by Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames, Josh Holloway and Simon Pegg among others. Co-produced by Cruise along with J.J. Abrams and Paula Wagner, it is scheduled to make its way out in the United States on December 21.
Teen couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone naked in the name of art. Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards has created a bronze metallic statue of the twosome almost entirely nude with only a Canadian Maple Leaf and a Texas Lone Star covering their intimate parts.
Titled "Justin and Selena as One", the life size portrait presents the "Baby" hitmaker and his songstress girlfriend as a 21st Century Adam and Eve. To be unveiled at Dallas' New Fine Arts, it features them conjoined at the torso with Selena appearing to lead Justin toward "Eden". In front of them are a Canada goose and Texas armadillo.
Of the statue, Daniel said in the press release, "The portrait represents both Canadian exceptionalism and Texas-American exceptionalism, but I believe Justin and Selena would ultimately choose Canada for their Garden of Eden, because Canada's Medicare and AAA credit rating make it easier for young couples who may find themselves in the family way."
Spokesman Cory Allen also stated, "Justin and Selena joined together, symbolizes the great harmony between neighboring countries Canada and The United States. Countries like North Korea and South Korea could learn from our example. It would be nice to exhibit this portrait in the areas of the world where tensions are high between countries that share borders."
Daniel is the sculptor known for his controversial works that include a statue of Britney Spears giving birth, Hillary Clinton topless, Suri Cruise's poop and Paris Hilton's insides. Justin and Selena aren't the first celebrity couple he has sculpted. In 2009, he made a statue of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a lovers' embrace titled simply "Brangelina".
Nearly five years after tying the knot with Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise still can't get his hands off his actress wife. The Ethan Hunt of "Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol" has been caught on tape recently feeling the "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" star's behind during a concert.

While the video is only seconds long, the gossip site reported that the "Rock of Ages" actor kept his hand on his wife's ass for most of the performance.
For the Sunday outing, Tom and Katie showed off a casual look. The 49-year-old actor wore a black sweater on top of white T-shirt with a pair of jeans, while his 32-year-old wife donned a red sweater and a grey leopard print jeans. Tagging along with them was Tom's son with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, Connor Cruise.

LeAnn Rimes is etching Eddie Cibrian's wedding vows on her ribcage. While attending the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago over the weekend, the "Can't Fight the Moonlight" hitmaker got the help of a Code of Conduct tattoo artist in putting on a stencil of her husband's promise to her.
"You gave me the courage to be truthful, I promise to give you the comfort to be trustful," read the 28-year-old's new body art. She later took to Twitter to explain about the ink, "Too funny! I got a stencil not a tattoo! Its not 'news'... however, I can't get it off. In search if rubbing alcohol I think!" In another tweet, she wrote, "I was just trying something, playing."
LeAnn tied the knot with Eddie on April 22. Her spokesman Rhett Usry confirmed the happy news as sharing, "LeAnn and Eddie were happily married today surrounded by their closest family and friends.

According to Us Magazine, the couple exchanged vows and rings while in Bora Bora for a family trip in late April and early May.

It's official, "Desperate Housewives" is going to end its run next year with the eighth season. As it was expected, the cancellation was confirmed at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills on Sunday, August 7 by ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee.
"It's an iconic show and we're extremely proud of it," Lee told reporters. "I wanted to make sure that this show that put this network on the map, certainly the new brand of this network for the last six or seven years, had its victory lap and had its chance to really set out every episode and build an arc for its 22 episodes so that we could say goodbye."
Meanwhile, creator Marc Cherry said that he wants the show to end "when the network still saw us as a viable show and a force to contend with." He added when joining Lee on stage of the TCA, "I've been in this business for 23 years, and I'm very aware of people overstaying their welcome. I just didn't want that to happen to 'Desperate Housewives'. I wanted to go out in the classiest way possible."
Recalling how the stars reacted when they were told about the show's end, Cherry shared, "It was bittersweet and lovely because the women knew that it was a possibility, but they didn't know. So there was a little touch of shock but not completely." He "got really emotional with Eva (Longoria) because I love Eva more than life itself."
Spilling the beans on what is pitched for the final season, Cherry revealed that "the mystery of what's going on harkens back to the first season." He went on gushing, "Something I'm very excited about is we're going back to the roots of Mary Alice. That was one of the things that feels right."
"I have an idea for the last episode in which I want to pay homage to everyone who's been there before and been on the show," Cherry added, teasing that Nicollette Sheridan's character, Edie, may return.

Last week's chart topper, "Cowboys and Aliens" is falling down to number three with estimated $15.8 million. Meanwhile, another new debut "The Change-Up" doesn't perform as well as expected. The movie only earns approximately $13.5 million, while analysts predicted it would open at about $20 million. "Captain America: The First Avenger" rounds out the top five with approximately $13 million.

Warner Bros. Pictures has unleashed a new clip from forthcoming thriller "Final Destination 5" just a few days before it arrives in U.S. theaters. Instead of unveiling new unexpected death scenarios, the fresh video contains warning of sudden death that can happen to anyone at anytime.
Titled "They're Closing Us Down", the clip presents a scene where Miles Fisher's Peter Friedkin meets David Koechner's Dennis Lapman. He tries to warn Dennis that nobody is safe from the curse of the death. However, the boss seems to underestimate his warning. Feeling ignored, Miles only tells Dennis, "Whatever, I warned you. Do whatever you want to do."
There are also three other videos which have similar theme. Two of them are titled "Why Are You Following Us?" and "Death Doesn't Like to Be Cheated", and give a look at Tony Todd's William Bludworth who mysteriously warns Peter and his friends of the unexpected death. However, when he is further asked if he knows something about a series of death that happened before, William does not give any clear answer.
The last one, "What Do You Want From Us?", sees Nicholas D'Agosto's Sam Lawton and Emma Bell's Molly Harper in what looks like a hospital. They talk to a man who believes that both of them know something related to a bridge collapse accident that happened before. Claiming he has no idea about the accident, Sam insists, "I don't know anything."
The fifth installment of the thriller film franchise offers a classic storyline that revolves around the themes of determinism, predestination and precognition of death. In the film, the death is unveiled after Sam receives a vision of a bridge collapse and saves a team of coworkers from the terrifying accident.
Written by Eric Heisserer, "Final Destination 5" is directed by Steven Quale and is slated for 3D release in the U.S. on August 12. The movie is also starring Arlen Escarpeta and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood.
