U2's songs in "Brothers"

"The song "White As Snow" from U2's latest album No Line on the Horizon, has been called their most intimate song and is a hymnal to a soldier dying in Afghanistan. It was written specifically for "Brothers" (Sheridan and Bono - Irish brethren - have a long history together, including Bono co-penning songs from "In America" and "In The Name of The Father"), but the band decided to release it on their new record after the film's many delays. The Guardian U.K. calls it, "unadorned, evocative and suggestive. And you don't even have to know what it's about to feel its quiet power or sense its sadness." Presumably it'll be featured in the film's credits.

Update: Apparently there's another song in "Brothers" written by U2 during the Horizon sessions that hasn't been released yet called, "Winter". The track can evidently be heard on the short film directed by Anton Corbijn that accompanies the album in the digipack format".

The Twilight star, 22, says he doesn't quite understand his heartthrob status – or the fuss about his signature tousled do. "I don't get it. It's funny, you look the same for years and no one ever mentions it. Then suddenly it's a big deal."

The longest list is “Celebrity Smiles” and that’s where readers will find many of the perennial faces on People’s list. Among them are Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Drew Barrymore, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez, Zac Efron, Halle Berry, Carrie Underwood, Heidi Klum, Brooke Shields and Eva Longoria".

Don't get me wrong, Christina Applegate (the airhead Kelly Bundy in "Married with children" tv series) is a cute cookie, but I think Kirsten Dunst is way more beautiful:HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY, KIRSTEN!!

"Walt Disney Studios is turning box-office cash from its nature documentary "Earth" into seed money to plant trees in the rain forest.

Disney had announced it would plant one tree in Brazil's endangered Atlantic rain forest for every viewer who saw the movie during its first week. According to Disney, the box-office tally hit $16.1 million, which translates to 2.7 million trees.
The trees are being planted by the Nature Conservancy, which is trying to reforest 2.5 million acres in the rain forest."Earth" is narrated by James Earl Jones and follows a year in the lives of three families of polar bears, elephants and humpback whales". Source: news.yahoo.com

"Earth," the first feature-length nature documentary from its new production banner, Disneynature. This amazing new film is from award-winning British producer/director Alastair Fothergill, whose credits include the Emmy and Peabody award-winning "Planet Earth" series (BBC and The Discovery Channel) and "The Blue Planet."

Follows the epic migratory journeys of four animal families as well as the earth's journey around the sun and the massive influence it has on all life on the planet, from the Arctic spring to the Antarctic winter.

Sean Penn divorces Robin

"Actor Sean Penn filed for “legal separation” from his wife Robin Wright Penn after 13 years of marriage Friday.

The couple are no stranger to break ups and make ups. Penn filed for divorce back in 2007, according to a report in Us magazine, but the petition was later dismissed. Just 3 days later, Wright Penn, 43, filed for divorce.

But in April of last year, the couple requested that authorities dismiss their petition.

It seemed the two Hollywood heavyweights were intent upon reconciling, even attending the Oscars together in February where Penn took home his second Academy Award for his performance in the film “Milk”.

Keira Knightley and James McAvoy Empire Magazine’s 20th Anniversary.
"JAMES MCAVOY could soon be a father - he and his actress wife ANNE-MARIE DUFF are hoping to start a family. The pair met on the set of U.K. TV comedy Shameless before falling in love and tying the knot in 2006.
And now Duff, who lives in London with MCAvoy, is hoping to extend their family by becoming a first-time mother".

Duff is clever, open and thinks carefully about every question you ask her. Except, that is, when you mention anything about McAvoy. What’s it like, living a relationship in the public eye, I venture. “I deal with it by not assuming it’s a relationship in the public eye. You just have to be a married couple.”Is it ever a worry when McAvoy, eight and a half years her junior, goes off to work with the likes of Angelina Jolie? “You have to trust each other. I’ve kissed plenty of handsome fellas in my work, too," she shoots back indignantly. Like who? “Well, Michael Caine, for one". Source: women.timesonline.co.uk

"Variety reports that Natalie Portman and Brad Pitt will star in adaptation of Leanne Shapton's book, "Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry". It's a project that won't only merge their acting talents, but also their production houses -- both Handsomecharlie Films and Plan B will produce.
Both Pitt and Portman are at their most charming when they're a little out of mainstream focus, whether that be as a head-bopping fitness nut in Burn After Reading, or a rapper on SNL. Together, with a story that's got some damned solid reviews, there's a lot of promise. Now I'm just hoping that Portman grabs Wes Anderson along for the ride -- a Royal Tennenbaums for a slightly different crowd". Source: www.cinematical.com
