The new video asks “Who Do You Stand Up For?” and features the stars sharing the answer to that question.
So, who do you stand up for? My answer: my mom and dad.

Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions are showing off this new US poster for the dramatic movie Mud starring Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, Sam Shepard, Michael Shannon, and Reese Witherspoon.
Mud‘s already had a run on the festival circuit and will be entering theaters on April 26, 2013.
The Plot: Mud is an adventure about two boys, Ellis (Sheridan) and his friend Neckbone (Lofland), who find a man named Mud (McConaughey) hiding out on an island in the Mississippi. Mud describes fantastic scenarios—he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him. He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Witherspoon), who is waiting for him in town.
Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him. It isn’t long until Mud’s visions come true and their small town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow.

Why didn’t Marvel Studios just release this Iron Man 3 trailer during the 2013 Super Bowl rather than the tiny sneak peek of it they did choose to show off during the big game? This trailer’s much more effective, but on game day it was only available by visiting the movie’s Facebook page. Now the studio’s released the extended trailer (which includes the clip shown on Super Bowl Sunday) and it does a much better job of selling the action movie than what the studio displayed during the Super Bowl.
Iron Man 3 will arrive in theaters on May 3, 2013 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale, Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley.
The Plot:
Marvel’s Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

And in addition to announcing the release of the new single and the release date of their new album, Fall Out Boy has also unveiled their Save Rock and Roll 2013 tour dates. The tour will begin in Milwaukee on May 14th and wrap up on June 30, 2013 in Nashville.
From the group: “When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. It’s why we started Fall Out Boy in the first place. This isn’t a reunion because we never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.
The future of Fall Out Boy starts now.
Save Rock And Roll…
Pete, Patrick, Andy and Joe”

AMC’s The Walking Dead doesn’t return until February 10th, however the network’s taking pity on us zombie addicts with a new clip from season three’s ninth episode, “The Suicide King.” This clip focuses on Hershel (played by Scott Wilson) taking care of one of the new injured human survivors at the jail.
The Plot of Season 3 Episode 9:
Rick (Andrew Lincoln) tries to rescue a member of his group. Woodbury is in disarray after a recent attack. New guests raise concerns at the prison.

CBS debuted a short (make that very short) teaser for the upcoming series Under the Dome during Super Bowl XLVII which didn’t give away anything at all. In fact, it’s pretty much the first promotional photo from the series with wording added to it. Still, if you’re excited at all about Stephen King’s Under the Dome transitioning into a series, then the teaser was probably enough for now.
The main purpose of the short-but-sweet TV spot was to send viewers to the Under the Dome website. There, visitors to the site can enter their address to see the home trapped ‘under the dome.’
Under the Dome is set to premiere on June 24, 2013 at 10pm.
The Plot: Under the Dome is the story of a small New England town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town’s inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers to what this barrier is, where it came from, and if and when it will go away.
My picks for the best commercials of the 2013 Super Bowl are Budweiser’s “Brotherhood” ad with the Clydesdale foal, Oreo’s “Whisper Fight” in a library, and Samsung’s “The Next Big Thing” with Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. However, according to TiVo none of my favorites made the Top 10 list of Super Bowl XLVII commercials.
TiVo uses a “second-by-second audience research service which ranks these top ten commercials based on actual commercial retention and viewership relative to the program viewership numbers” in order to create their annual list of the best Super Bowl ads.
Says Tara Maitra, Senior Vice President, General Manager Content & Media Sales at TiVo: “We’re seeing more Super Bowl commercials created by users and voted on before the game, as well as brands previewing their spots on the web well before Super Bowl Sunday. This shift reduces the element of surprise in making a commercial successful and TRA’s unique ability to help networks and marketers determine what’s really resonating with viewers can help improve the effectiveness of ad campaigns and ultimately the ROI of an ad buy.”
TiVo’s Top 10 Commercials:
1. Taco Bell “Viva Young”
2. Doritos “Goat For Sale”
3. Hyundai Santa Fe “Pick Your Team”
4. Doritos “Fashionista Daddy”
5. GoDaddy.com “Perfect Date”
6. M&Ms “Anything for Love”
7. Sketchers “Man Vs. Cheetah”
8. Pepsi Next “Pepsi Next Drink it to Believe It”
9. Audi “Prom”
10. Volkswagen “Get In. Get Happy”
However, Adweek has also put together a list of the five best ads for Super Bowl Sunday and its list looks completely different.
1. RAM “Farmer”
2. Budweiser “Brotherhood”
3. Samsung “The Next Big Thing”
4. Oreo “Whisper Fight”
5. Taco Bell “Viva Young”
The Grammy stage just got a little more crowded with the announcement of four more performers and five more presenters. The Recording Academy revealed Bruno Mars and Rihanna (both nominees this year) will join 16-time winner Sting for a special performance. Kelly Clarkson, nominated for three Grammys this year for Record Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop Solo Performance, has also been tapped to perform at the star-studded event on Sunday, February 10, 2013.
The new list of presenters at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards includes Beyoncé, Hunter Hayes, Jennifer Lopez, Pauley Perrette, and Prince.
Mars is a nominee in the Best Rap Song category for “Young, Wild & Free” (along with Calvin Broadus, Chris Brody Brown, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, and Cameron Thomaz). Rihanna is nominated in the Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration categories.
The four just-announced acts join a list that includes Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, The Black Keys, fun., the Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Jack White, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, and Justin Timberlake.
Hot off her sizzling Super Bowl halftime performance, Parkwood Entertainment and Live Nation announced Beyonce’s going on the road with The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour set to kick off on April 15, 2013 in Belgrade, Serbi. Beyonce will be performing in 20 European cities before heading back to the States for the North American leg of the tour.
Los Angeles will get to see The Mrs. Carter Show before the rest of the U.S. when she performs at Staples Center on June 28th. Beyonce will then be traveling around the U.S. and Canada, making stops in 20+ cities during this second part of the tour.
She’ll be headlining the Rock in Rio music festival as well as the first night of the BET Experience in LA as part of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. And after finishing up the European and North American portions of the tour, Beyonce will head to Latin America, Asia, and Australia.
The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour is Beyonce’s first full-time tour since 2009’s I AM…WORLD Tour and, according to the official announcement, will be “bigger in scope” than her previous shows.
