Paul W.S. Anderson, who is currently shooting "Resident Evil: Afterlife", has planned to keep himself busy after wrapping the movie. His partner in "Resident Evil", producer Jeremy Bolt, recently told press that the helmer, who has been set to produce "The Three Musketeers", is circling two upcoming movie projects.

According to Bolt, Anderson has once again eyed the helmer position for "Castlevania", in which James Wan has been attached to direct. Additionally, he has put his name in the unofficial bidding for directing "Metal Gear Solid".

Three screencaps of an accompanying music video for the remix of Beyonce Knowles' "Video Phone" have been found. Two of them have Beyonce as the center of attraction, while the other one features her sitting on a chair next to her collaborator Lady GaGa. The two are seen donning white leotards matched with opera gloves.

The video is directed by Hype Williams. It was supposed to be premiered on November 5 right after 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards, but due to unknown reasons, it got pushed back and now is expected to be debuted on November 17.

Before Alyssa Milano goes full throttle with her new acting vehicle, she will visit ABC's "Castle" first. The actress has been signed to play a former love interest of Nathan Fillion's Richard Castle and stir things up between Castle and detective Kate Beckett in an episode called "A Rose for Everafter".

How Milano will contribute to the story is not given elaborately but EW said that Richard reconnects with Milano's Kyra on her wedding day and "sparks fly". Her appearance is only scheduled to air in early 2010 when the show returns for the second part of season 2. The shooting, however, will begin as early as next week. "Castle" received a back-nine order in October which leads the show to have a full 22-episode season.

Aside from having his songs included in "Twilight" soundtrack album, the reason why Robert Pattinson hasn't released any of his other solo music reportedly because he is scared. "I do do a bit (of singing) but I don't really release it. I'm too scared," he said as quoted by Britain's OK! Magazine.

However, the Edward Cullen depicter doesn't rule out the possibility of him showcasing his music in the future. As for now, he just wants to take his focus on his acting career. He stated, "Maybe one day. I think you can only concentrate on one or the other. Once I'm ready to do it, I'll do it again, I'll perform again."

Since Paul W.S. Anderson announced in September that he was developing "The Three Musketeers", a 3D adaptation of Alexander Dumas' novel with the same title, the filmmaker has made some progress with the upcoming movie project. Being interviewed by Steve Weintraub from Omelete on the set of his next film "Resident Evil: Afterlife", the helmer has given some updates about the status of the adventure film.

Anderson claimed they have begun selection of the cast members at this moment, while the production will be kicked off in September 2010. Teaming up with producer Jeremy Bolt, he will make the film with around 80 million dollars budget.

Giving a quick update to his Twitter followers, Trace Cyrus has just posted a new photo of himself that proudly shows off his just finished tattoos to the lens. The body arts are that of Jesus crucified on the cross, mother Mary, and the famous hands that hold a rosary.

Though it is easy to draw line between the altercation and the video through its remorseful look, Chris insists that it is not just about Rihanna. "So being able to express the feelings, it was like, probably one of the best [records I've done.] But it was more than me trying to do a record that meant crawl to love, crawl back to love.

Contrary to a report from The New York Post that Jon Gosselin and his ex-wife Kate Gosselin will sit down together for "Jon & Kate Plus 8" series finale, Access Hollywood obtains the information that they will not do so. They were said to share the same couch and talk about the recent life events but Access said they are not even going to be in the same room.

Off the interview, the finale airing November 23 also follows Kate and the kids visiting a dairy farm and a firehouse. Reportedly, there will be highlights from the five-year run at the end.

A representative for Jon Gosselin has stepped forward with a denial that the father of eight children is involved in sex tape scandal. To Us Weekly, the representative confirms there is no truth to reports claiming the reality star has been secretly taped having sex with random woman in Los Angeles. "It is truly false. It's sad that people are picking this up," says the representative.

There is no word from Rihanna or any of her people that "Russian Roulette" music video revolves around her past ill-fated romance with Chris Brown.

Rihanna getting shot on the chest, approached by a speeding car while standing alone at night and locked in a padded cell surrounded by armed guards scrutinizing her every move are captured in it.

Director Anthony Mandler recently shared the concept of the video to MTV. "I think that with this song and the meaning of this song and how loaded it all is, no pun intended, how much imagery and perhaps symbolism that is loaded in this song, the only way to do it was to do something that was visually challenging," he said.

I was going to go live but had no wireless!"
