"The Avengers" is set to film in New Mexico and it could be the biggest production taking place in the state. The reason Marvel Studios is moving it from Los Angeles to new Mexico is none other than to take advantage of the state's 25% tax rebate for film and TV productions.

Also, instead of shooting beginning in February 2011 like previously scheduled, the film will kick start in April and wrap it up in September. Meanwhile, secondary locations for the 3D production include New York and Michigan.

Radiohead's third album "OK Computer" has been hailed as the greatest record of the last 25 years. The 1997 release - which features iconic hits "Paranoid Android" and "Karma Police" - saw off competition from Oasis and Nirvana to be named the best album by readers of Q magazine.

Nirvana came second with "Nevermind", while the Gallagher brothers' now defunct band took the third and fourth spots with "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" and "Definitely Maybe" respectively. Arctic Monkeys' hit "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I Am Not" was voted in at number five, while "The Joshua Tree" by U2 made number six.

He tells U.S. TV show Extras, "Even though I started with surrogacy, adoption is probably my next step... Adoption is beautiful. Give it a try!" And he only has one wish for 2011: "I just want my children to be happy. I want my children to be healthy."

TLC choose to premiere a new reality TV called "My Strange Addiction" this holiday. A preview had been released before but this new one shows more people with bizarre and odd addictions such as eating toilet paper and living with a plastic doll.

"The biggest secret I had was that I was molested. Maybe I felt dirty inside," the woman said in the promo.

Katy Perry and her reformed drug addict husband Russell Brand want to use their fame and fortune for good - they plan to set up a foundation to help the poor and needy.

His new pop star wife Perry continues to be amazed by his story and reveals they both want to help others struggling in life by creating their own charity.

If you really want to know what made me fall in love with him was how amazing he was with people, particularly with children."

Kerli creates her own army in her latest music video, but it's different from any other army. It's "Army of Love" which "stands for the invasion of creativity and beauty" and is represented in "white and pastel colors" with backdrop of her Estonian hometown, the forest and the city.

She told PopEater, "I really wanted to create a visual that started from the ashes and grew into something more epic, like representing an idea or a dream that becomes a reality when you really decide to go for it." Recalling the process of creating the costumes, she said, "We get some alien-looking work outfits and we become this mad scientist for the three weeks to come. And the place we set all of this up also gets its name accordingly. We name it the lab."

On Tuesday, December 21, several photos of Megatron toy have surfaced online and it was thought to be what the autobot would look like in the third "Transformers" film. The toy takes shape of a "Mad Max truck", kind of the same type of truck which was spotted on the set.

But Osbourne admits he has grown tired of seeing GaGa whenever he turns on the TV or opens a magazine, and insists she needs to take time out, so her fans don't get bored with her. He says, "I do think Lady GaGa should take a break for a little while. She's getting to be too much... She's just too overexposed."

The rapper was prompted to come forward to cops as part of a 12-step program to conquer his longrunning battle with drug addiction, but he allegedly had no idea his victim had died following the incident and he has now been charged with Henkel's murder.

Gorillaz and Blur star Damon Albarn has warned "Glee" producers not to contact him about using his songs on the TV show - because he can't forgive them for stealing The Beatles' U.S. pop chart record.

Albarn has yet to be asked to be a part of the hit musical show but he insists he'll never agree to let his songs be a part of the programme. The Brit is still upset by the fact the cast of "Glee" toppled the Fab Four's record for most appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 by a non-solo act earlier this year.

"Blood From a Stone" will now open on January 12 at the Acorn Theatre, according to the New York Times. It won't be the "Training Day" star's first foray onto the New York stage - he's previously earned a Tony Award nomination for his starring role in a 2006 production of Tom Stoppard's "The Coast of Utopia", and he received further praise for his performance in Shakespeare play "The Winter's Tale" last year.

His featured guest Ludacris, meanwhile, enjoys a car ride with his ladies in a separate scene.

The video is described as "a little more cinematic, a little more of a long story." Enrique once told MTV, "You get a little bit of acting on Luda's part. I was a little afraid: It's a tough song. What type of video do you make? What do you do? ... When I saw the video, it didn't feel offensive. Although I saw the video and it's a little out there, but I loved it. It's almost like the guys' fantasy. That's what we wanted to create."

Jon Bon Jovi snubbed the chance to play at London's iconic Wembley Stadium next year in favor of a show in the U.K. capital's Hyde Park - because the green venue is just a short walk from the star's favorite hotel. Bon Jovi is set to play a gig at the venue in June as part of the Hard Rock Calling series of shows.
