Stephenie Meyer is eying another movie project to produce. Along with her producing partner at Fickle Fish Films, the author of vampire book series "Twilight" is, according to LA Times, going to produce a film adaptation of young-adult ghost story "Anna Dressed in Blood" written by Kendare Blake.

The book follows ghost hunter Cas Lowood as he travels the country following legends and local lore to kill the dead. Then in a new town, he finds a ghost like he's never faced before, a girl who's entangled in curses and rage but for whatever reason spares his life.

Jennifer Lawrence's first-time visit to "Saturday Night Live" as a host is full of dated topics. In an opening monologue, the actress, who won Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy at Golden Globe Awards, roasts fellow Best Actress nominees of Academy Awards, which will be held in a few weeks.

She says of "Zero Dark Thirty" actress Jessica Chastain, "Jessica Chastain? More like Jessica ain't winning an Oscar on my watch." She continues to poke fun at "The Impossible" lead female Naomi Watts, "You were in The Impossible. You know what else is impossible? You beating me on Oscar night."

Justin Bieber pulls his pants down, literally. The 18-year-old Canadian singer posts a picture of himself from behind as he's lowering his pants to show off his backside. Wearing a black tank top, a backward hat and black shades, he gives a glance at the camera over his shoulder.

Bieber uploads his revealing photo on Instagram and later deletes it. He says nothing as the pic makes its round on the internet, but his manager Scooter Braun speaks on his behalf, "as a prankster u have to respect another good prank. only makes sense. #crackdealer." The star seems to agree as replying, "Haha."

As Barack Obama's inaugural festivities kicked off January 19 with a family-friendly concert hosted by the First Lady, words run rampant that Lady GaGa is tapped to headline a ball on January 22. While the Saturday event honored the military families, the Tuesday gig is held for Mr. President's campaign staffers.

The Mother Monster followed the footsteps of Jay-Z who took the stage for Team Obama in 2009 after Mr. President's first election win. During the private concert for the White House staff members, the Roc Nation founder reportedly changed lyrics of his hit single into, "99 Problems but George Bush Ain't One."

The famous customized car used in the 1960s ABC Batman TV series starring Adam West has gone under the hammer. The Caped Crusader's cruiser was purchased by the winning bidder for Lot 5037 at the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. in Scottsdale, Ariz. for $4.6 million.

The iconic car was 19 feet long and built from a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, which was purchased for 1 dollar only. The owner King of Kustomizers George Barris created the vehicle in three weeks at a cost of $15,000 funded by 20th Century Fox.

The military families were celebrated in a star-studded concert hosted by U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama and wife of Vice President Jill Biden. Katy Perry, Usher and "Glee" cast delivered high-energy family-friendly performances for the soldiers and their families. Sasha and Malia joined the celebration along with the Bidens' brood.

At the "Kids Inaugural: Our Children. Our Future" event, Mrs. Obama talked about the challenges faced by kids in the military families. "Did you know that a military kid attends an average of six to nine schools by the time he or she graduates from high school?" she said. "Just think about the level of maturity that is required for military kids during those times."
