‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ New Season 5 Clip and Premiere Photos
Spotlight On: Live While We’re Young One Direction Music Video
Because on unauthorized copy of One Direction’s “Live While We’re Young” music video made its way illegally online, the group and Columbia Records decided to up the official release of the video to today. That’s only a four day difference between when it was supposed to go live online and today, but four days to fans of the boy band adds up to a huge amount of hours they no longer have to patiently endure.
“We wanted our fans to see the video and hear the single in the proper way so we’ve moved the premiere to tonight. We’re really excited about ‘Live While We’re Young,’ we’ve worked really hard on it and we can’t wait for everyone to see and hear it later today!” – One Direction
The single off of the upcoming Take Me Home album debuted on radio stations today followed an hour later by the release of the video on VEVO. Pre-orders are now available for the group’s second album which drops on November 13, 2012.

Big Brother Winner Revealed
Stop reading now if you don’t want to know who was crowned the winner of the 14th season of Big Brother…
After 75 days of game-playing, back-stabbing, and competitions, it all came down to the final three: Dan Gheesling, Danielle Murphree, and Ian Terry. In the end it wasn’t even close. The final Head of Household competition involved guessing how the members of the Big Brother jury answered questions, with Ian emerging the winner and claiming the title of final HOH. After booting Danielle, it became a battle between Dan and Ian to win over the seven members of the jury.
Jury members were given the opportunity to ask Dan and Ian questions, and when the dust settled the Big Brother season 14 winner was announced. Ian Terry is now $500,000 richer after a vote of 6-1 (with Danielle giving Dan his only vote).
Also emerging richer for his efforts, Frank Eudy was named “America’s Favorite Player” and received $25,000.

Behind the Scenes of ‘Dredd 3D’ with Karl Urban
In this behind-the-scenes video, Karl Urban and the Dredd 3D team talk about the costume and Dredd’s equipment. Set to hit theaters on September 21, 2012, Dredd 3D also stars Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey.
The Plot:
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One – a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture – a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.
‘Les Miserables’ Featurette – The Cast Talks About the Musical

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
