X Men: Apocalypse will have ‘mass destruction’

X Men: Apocalypse will have ‘mass destruction’
Bryan Singer says 'X Men: Apocalypse' will have 'more mass destruction' than previous films in the franchise. 
The 48-year-old filmmaker - who helmed the forthcoming 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' - revealed 2016's sequel to the upcoming film will have a character who allows them to delve into aspects which the previous pictures haven't dealt with.
He explained to Total Film magazine: ''Apocalypse' will also have more of that mass destruction that 'X Men' films, to date, have not relied upon. There's definitely now a character and a story to allow room for that spectacle.'
In the 'X-Men' comic books Apocalypse refers to a villainous rival, who is the world's first mutant, and Singer revealed the film, which will be set in the 80s, will explore the 'ancient mutants'. 
He added: 'We're going to deal with the notion of ancient mutants - the fact that they were born and existed years ago. But it will be a contemporary movie - well, it'll take place in the 80s ... The 80s is a period now - it's hard for me to believe that.'
Singer will produce and co-write the script with 'Days of Future Past' scribe Simon Kinberg and the writers of 2003's 'X2', Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty.

Angelina Jolie predicts George Clooney will marry first

Angelina Jolie predicts George Clooney will marry first
Angelina Jolie predicts George Clooney will get married before her.
The 'Maleficent' actress has been engaged to the 53-year-old actor's close pal Brad Pitt for more than two years, but believes the newly-engaged 'Gravity' star will marry his fiancée, Amal Alamuddin, before they tie the knot.
Asked who will walk down the aisle first, the 38-year-old actress told 'Entertainment Tonight': 'Probably George.'
The 'Monuments Men' star will reportedly exchange vows with British lawyer Amal on September 12 in Italy before hosting other celebrations in London and Lebanon, where her parents are from.
Meanwhile, Angelina revealed that her and Brad's six children, Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, are still coming up with 'crazy ideas' for where they should get married.
She said: 'Yeah, they've got a lot of crazy ideas -- and I'm sure most of them will win out. So yes, they'll be the ones deciding when it comes and how it's done, I'm sure.'
But the brunette beauty recently insisted she and Brad, 50, currently have no plans to become husband and wife.
She said: 'We don't have any plans to get married at the moment. Nothing is organised. Nothing is ready. I don't have a dress. It matters to us in a very private way. But we also understand that we're public people.'

Angelina Jolie ‘got really sick’ watching her first movie

Angelina Jolie ‘got really sick’ watching her first movie
Angelina Jolie 'threw up' after watching the first movie she starred in.
The 38-year-old actress was cast in 1993's 'Cyborg 2' as Casella 'Cash' Reese, who is a cyborg developed for corporate espionage and assassination, and admits she 'got really sick' watching the movie and had to be comforted by her brother.
She told Buzzfeed.com: 'Oh, I threw up. I did. I saw it and I threw up. Just nausea ... But I was 17 and I think I thought I was making a real movie, which is odd, since there's a scene when I'm decapitated and talking - as one does. But, yeah, I saw it and got really sick. I just remember my brother Jamie holding me and saying, 'It's going to be all right.''
Meanwhile, the 'Maleficent' star, who raises Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with fiancé Brad Pitt, recently revealed she tries not to expose her children to films and TV shows with 'drugs or nudity,' as she doesn't want them to grow up too quickly.
She said: 'It's very hard because the parental controls are so extreme. You wish there was some magic parental control that could just give them enough of the stuff they're excited about and interested in. You know, some crazy skateboarding stunt accidents, and still not be getting access to certain kinds of other things, drugs or nudity. But (those videos) kind of end up in the same category.'

Brad Pitt warns attacker not to strike again


Brad Pitt warns attacker not to strike again
Brad Pitt has branded Vitalii Sediuk a 'nutter.'
The 50-year-old actor, who was attacked by the Ukrainian prankster at the Hollywood premiere of his fiancée Angelina Jolie's new movie, 'Maleficent,' last week and subsequently secured a temporary restraining order against him, admitted he hit his assailant twice in the back of the head before Sediuk broke his designer sunglasses and was dragged away by security.
Speaking about the incident for the first time, the '12 Years A Slave' star said: 'I was at the end of the line signing autographs, when out the corner of my eye I saw someone stage-diving over the barrier at me. I took a step back; this guy had latched onto my lapels. I looked down and the nutter was trying to bury his face in my crotch, so I cracked him twice in the back of the head - not too hard - but enough to get his attention, because he did let go. I think he was then just grabbing for a hand hold because the guys were on him, and he reached up and caught my glasses.' 
Brad was horrified to hear Sediuk, who was placed on three years probation after he pled 'no contest' to battery and unlawful activity charges stemming from the attack, also attempted to put his head under America Ferrera's dress at the Cannes International Film Festival last month.
He also told PEOPLE.com: 'I don't mind an exhibitionist, but if this guy keeps it up he's going to spoil it for the fans who have waited up all night for an autograph or a selfie, because it will make people more wary to approach a crowd.
'And he should know, if he tries to look up a woman's dress again, he's going to get stomped.'
Sediuk, 25, has become known for pranking celebrities on the red carpet and previously accosted Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith at red carpet events.
Along with his probation, he was also ordered to perform 20 days of community labour, undergo a year of psychological counselling and banned from attending all celebrity events in the future in court in Los Angeles on Friday (30.05.14

Chris Brown will always love ex-girlfriend

Chris Brown will always love ex-girlfriend
Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran will always be his 'homie'.
The 'Fine China' singer - who dumped the model to reunite with Rihanna last October - says he will always love Karrueche because she supported him during the worst time of his life.
The 23-year-old RB star, who is still on probation for violently beating Rihanna in 2009, told The Breakfast Club on US radio station Power 105.1 on Tuesday (02.04.13): 'She was my friend through it all. It was a friendship more than a relationship. I still love her, but at the end of the day, it's like I got love for her. She gone always be my homie!'
He also said that they are still close and he wishes 'all the best to her. We still have a clothing line. I only want her to progress. I don't want to stop her blessings.'
But he admitted it would be tough to see the 24-year-old date another celebrity, saying: 'Yeah, that would be a little close to home. At the end of the day I think it should be a respect boundary.'
Chris previously admitted he found it 'difficult' to tell Karrueche that he still loved Rihanna, 25, and insisted he did not intentionally set out to be a 'player' in the situation.
He said: 'I'm not trying to be a player. It's never an easy situation to tell another person that you still love another person, so that's kinda difficult. But our friendship, me and Karrueche's friendship, is still cool. We're still good friends.'
It was recently revealed that most of Chris' new album 'X' is about Karrueche.

50 Cent claims Beyoncé almost attacked him

50 Cent claims Beyoncé almost attacked him
50 Cent claims Beyoncé Knowles once confronted him for getting into an argument with Jay Z.
The 'In Da Club' hitmaker was shocked when the 'Drunk In Love' singer, nicknamed Sasha Fierce, 'jumped off a ledge and came running over' to defend her husband at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas.
The 38-year-old rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, told 'The Breakfast Club' on New York City radio station Power 105.1: 'One time [Beyoncé] jumped off of a ledge and came running over cause she thought me and Jay had issues. And I'm like, 'What the f**k? Did she really just jump and run up on me like that?' '
The 32-year-old beauty became very protective of Jay because she thought things were about to turn physical between him and the 'Candy Shop' hitmaker, but they soon laughed off the dispute.
He said: 'She jumped out and I was like this, 'What?! That Bonnie and Clyde for real! You try this or what, boy?! I'm here!' She bugged out at me. I looked and Jay starts laughing. He's like, 'Yo, you know what it is.' '
News of Beyoncé's run-in with 50 Cent comes almost one month after her sister, Solange Knowles, attacked Jay Z in an elevator at the Met Ball after party in New York City on May 5.
The trio released a joint statement after video footage of the altercation was leaked, saying: 'Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologised to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.'

Duchess Catherine’s renovation struggles

Duchess Catherine’s renovation struggles
Britain's Duchess Catherine is struggling to find fireplaces for her country home.
The 32-year-old royal is in hot pursuit of rustic-looking hearths to spice up the interior of her Anmer Hall retreat on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which is almost ready for her to move into with her husband Prince William and their baby son Prince George.
Catherine - née Kate Middleton - is considering enlisting the services of Theresa Edwards, whose company Strathearn Stone and Timber specialises in bespoke fireplaces made out of Scottish oak. 
The home interiors expert revealed to People magazine: 'She said that they have been doing their house up recently, and she said they were really struggling for fireplaces. She asked if we did some, and when I said yes, she said, 'I will check out your website.' '
The 10-bedroom Georgian mansion, which boasts an outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court, has just undergone a nine-month, multi-million pound refurbishment.
Theresa is excited about potentially helping Catherine complete the renovations following a meeting with the royals during their visit to Foreteviot in Scotland last week.
She said: 'She realized we ran the only business in the village and was asking about how we did our marketing. She said it was really lovely to see the small village and people coming together.'
