Late Night with Jimmy Fallon went out as planned on October 29, 2012, despite Hurricane Sandy and without a live studio audience. Fallon sent the audience home because of the devastating storm (nicknamed ‘Frankenstorm’), taped an intro on the streets of New York, and then stepped inside the studio to deliver his monologue to empty seats. Only the crew was there to laugh and applaud as Fallon talked about the slow weekend at the movies, New York theatres being closed for the storm, and how it’s tough to take a storm named Sandy seriously.

If you’re taping The X Factor, be sure to set your DVR to record two hours and seven minutes on October 31, 2012. That’s when the top 16 acts will be performing live for the first time, according to Fox. It’ll also mark the debut of co-hosts Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom.
 
The next night, the judges – Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears and L.A. Reid – will reveal their choices for the Top Finalists.
 
The Details:
 
In a departure from other singing competition series, contestants not only audition in front of The X Factor judges. Perhaps more importantly, they sing for an audience of thousands, which is often referred to as the “fifth” judge, because their enthusiasm – or lack thereof – can help determine the fate of these hopefuls. This initial audition is the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence it takes to become a global superstar or breakout music act and win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.
 
Those contestants who survive the first auditions graduate to “boot camp” and will be divided into four categories. Not only is it a competition between the hopefuls to stake their claim for the coveted win, but it’s also a showdown among the judges as to whose acts will dominate the competition and make it to the finals. The judges may have their say in how the competition progresses, but it will be up to America to decide who ultimately has The X Factor.

On the Road Poster
IFC Films just put out a new poster for the upcoming dramatic film On the Road based on the novel by Jack Kerouac. Starring Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Amy Adams, Tom Sturridge, and Viggo Mortensen, On the Road will arrive in theaters on December 21, 2012.
 
The Plot:
 
On the Road tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise (Riley), a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Stewart).
 
Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” — the pure essence of experience.

We were addicted to Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” and we loved her duo with Owl City on the catchy summer anthem “Good Time.” Now she’s just released the video for her latest single, “This Kiss,” which hasn’t quite had the impact on the Billboard charts as her two previous singles.

The British group The Saturdays is set to star in E!’s new series, Chasing The Saturdays. Premiering on January 20, 2013, Chasing The Saturdays follows the five women of The Saturdays as they come to LA and start work on their upcoming album.

Each of the 30-minute episodes will focus on the singers as they settle into life in Los Angeles. Says E! President Suzanne Kolb: “The Saturdays are a pop phenomenon with magnetic appeal and tremendous talent, and we are excited to capture their next chapter as they win over the hearts and playlists of America. Chasing The Saturdays is a perfect addition to E!’s popular Sunday night reality block, which continues to deliver can’t-miss original programming to viewers year-round.”

The Saturdays have had 11 Top 10 singles in the UK and three Top 10 albums.

Details on The Saturdays [Courtesy of E!]:

Mollie King is a princess and maybe the most fashion-conscious of the group. She also has a very active – and closely followed – dating life;

Rochelle Humes was in the group S Club Juniors with Frankie. She is a newlywed, married to Marvin Humes, a member of the boy band JLS;

Frankie Sandford, formerly in the group S Club Juniors, has been romantically linked to Manchester City soccer star Wayne Bridge;

Vanessa White is the youngest member of The Saturdays and the party girl of the group;

Una Healy is the only one in the band who’s not a native Londoner – she’s Irish. And she recently married England national rugby union player, Ben Foden, and is a new mother.




The Vampire Diaries Clip: The Five

“Snatch. Eat. Erase.” – In this new clip from the November 1, 2012 episode of The Vampire Diaries, Damon explains why he’s taking Elena (Nina Dobrev) to college. The Salvatore brothers also try and figure out what the mysterious group “The Five” is and what exactly vampire hunter Connor (Todd Williams) was carrying around in his box of vampire-hunting supplies.
 
And being Damon (Ian Somerhalder), of course he has to ask his Stefan (Paul Wesley) if he’s still mad Elena fed on him.
 
The Plot of “The Five:”
 
Damon goes with Elena and Bonnie to visit Whitmore College, where Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay) is taking over the Occult Studies classes formerly taught by Bonnie’s grandmother. At a fraternity costume party, Damon takes advantage of the wild scene to give Elena a lesson in choosing a victim. Rebekah’s attempt to buy Matt’s forgiveness falls flat, but she is intrigued by unexpected news from Klaus. When Stefan questions Klaus about Connor’s (guest star Todd Williams) motives, Klaus reveals a long-ago encounter with a powerful group of vampire hunters, but it’s Rebekah who delivers the information that stuns Stefan.

Green Day Cancel Their Upcoming Tour Dates

By

Green Day Uno Dos TresThis should come as no surprise to Green Day fans, but now the group has made it official: All of their upcoming concerts have been canceled as they allow Billie Joe Armstrong time to complete rehab and get back on his feet. Green Day also announced they’ll be rescheduling their January and February 2013 appearances, pushing them back rather than completely canceling the shows.
 
Tickets for the canceled dates will be refunded where they were purchased. Tickets for the postponed shows will be honored on the new dates.
 
“Obviously the timing for this isn’t ideal, but Billie Joe’s well-being is our main concern,” stated Mike Dirnt in the press release. “We are happy to say that Billie Joe is doing well, and we want to thank you all for the outpouring of support and well wishes that we have received, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.”
 
And because they had to cancel their shows, Green Day has decided to move up the release of ¡Tré! from January 15, 2013 to December 11, 2012.
 
“We feel bad we have to delay our tour, so to make up for it we want to give our fans the music earlier than we had planned,” said Tré Cool. “If we couldn’t be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing.”
