Former professional wrestler Dwayne Douglas Johnson or better known as The Rock has recently revealed during an interview with Empire Online that he's working on an upcoming drama comedy flick. The title is "Daddy's Girl."

"In all likelihood, I will do a movie called 'Daddy's Girl,' with Disney, that I'm really excited about," he said. As of the story, the film follows a star quarterback on an NFL team, very brash and cocky, but not in the way of Tyrell Owens in the States but in the way of a Brett Favre who is so respected and everybody loves, but who has been single all of his life. His life gets turned upside down when his little daughter comes into his life, who's six years old.

It's official. From now on they, Diana Ross and Jon Voight, are an item. Following a six-year search for the right man, soul legend Ross finally confirmed she is dating the movie star.

Yet, it is said that Ross won't take it too far, as her agent Phil Symes says, "It's still at an early stage. Certainly too early to say he is the new love of her life. But they have been on dates which they both enjoyed."

To everyone's surprise, ABC announced late Wednesday that "Alias," the Emmy-winning thriller starring Jennifer Garner as agent Sydney Bristow will air its final episode in May next year. No reason was given for bringing the series to an end.

But as he begins to sketch his new friend's portrait, disturbing feelings from his past threaten to lead him down a path of destruction.
