<p>Comic book giant Stan Lee, who dreamed up such pop culture icons as Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk, the Black Panther and countless others, has been honoured in Hollywood by hundreds of fans and celebrities.</p>

<p>Lee, who died in November at age 95, saw his ink-on-paper, pulp comic characters grow into movie money-makers.</p>

<p>He famously made cameo appearances in just about all of them.</p>

<p>As a writer and editor, Lee was key to the ascension of Marvel into a comic book titan in the 1960s when, in collaboration with artists such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he created superheroes who would enthral generations of young readers.</p>

<p>American film director Kevin Smith, best known for the movies 'Chasing Amy' and 'Clerks' and the television program 'Comic Book Men', hosted the tribute at the TCL Chinese Theater.</p>

<p>"His like is never going to pass this way ever again and I`m not just talking about the sheer professionalism of his output. Think about the entire universe of characters he created. That`s not going to be duplicated ever again," Smith told Reuters.</p>

<p>Actor Wesley Snipes, who played the Marvel Comics` character Blade, said: "He`s an inspiration for all of us creative artists to remind us your creativity is never wasted and sooner or later you hang in there long enough, I don`t know, a movie theatre, a hologram, AR, VR, something will come along and the whole world will see your magic."</p>

<p>Joe Quesada, a fellow comic book writer and the second longest-serving editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics after Lee, said: "Stan was very progressive in the 60s. He really had a sense of youth culture and where the world was going."</p>

<p>Taboo, from The Black Eyed Peas, who created a comic book with Lee, praised the late creator`s career.</p>

<p>"There`s only a couple of figures in the history of entertainment and storytelling that have been as iconic as Stan Lee - Jim Henson, Walt Disney, Stan Lee.&nbsp;That`s just how it was," he said.</p>

<p>In a drastic change on how celebrities who double up as influencers on social media will post on the platforms, Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has agreed that every paid post will be spelt out as such for the benefit of people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The agency said that it has secured formal commitments from 16 celebrities, who also include models Alexa Chung and Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley, to change how they label social media posts to their millions of followers.</p>

<p>As brands pay a huge amount of money for a single social media post, the CMA said that it has to be listed as such.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The European Union consumer protection law now wants social media users to know which post is paid and which has been endorsed personally by the celebrity. This would help in avoiding giving the impression that the said post represents their personal view.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"People could, quite rightly, feel misled if what they thought was a recommendation from someone they admired turns out to be a marketing ploy," CMA Chief Executive Andrea Coscelli said in a statement.</p>

<p>The agency also revealed that warning letters have also been sent to a number of other celebrities, without naming them, urging them to review their practices.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Further investigation work will look at the role and responsibilities of social media platforms," the CMA said.</p>

<p>The CMA said it had begun investigating the trend of celebrities and social media "influencers” since last August.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the leading actresses of our times, Nicole Kidman feels she has played 'safe' with her career in the past but looks for challenging roles now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actor said she is happy to make ''spontaneous and random'' decisions now, reported Contactmusic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
''I think maybe I played it a little safe in the past, and went for the work I thought I was meant to do, which spoke to the idea of what and who an actress is supposed to be. But, for the most part, I've followed my spirit, which motivates me to go against the grain.<br />
<br />
''I'm completely spontaneous and random in my decisions. Never let it be said that I don't have diverse taste. I love jumping into the deep end. Why not? That's my favourite saying, I think it has such potential and choice, why not?'' Kidman told Psychologies magazine.<br />

<br />
''I am a character actor, which was my goal. I wasn't educated at drama school with the aim of being a movie star," she said.</p>

<p>Actor Katherine Waterston says she has no idea whether she will be back for the sequel of Ridley Scott's 'Alien: Covenant'.</p>

<p><br />
In an interview with The Playlist, the 'Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them' star said she had no talks with Scott regarding the follow-up to the 2017 feature.</p>

<p><br />
"I don't live in Hollywood, and I'm always usually the last person to know even what's going on in my own career. So, (I'm) probably not the best person to ask," Waterston said.</p>

<p><br />
"But I did get some sense of where they thought they might like to take it when we were shooting? Covenant,' and it sounded really interesting," she added.</p>

<p><br />
The 38-year-old actor, however, made it clear that she would be 'absolutely game' for more 'Alien' films.</p>

<p><br />
"But that's all I know. I'm sure they've changed their minds anyway. And there's been probably loads of different ideas going around and everything. But just in case I spoil something by talking about it, I wouldn't dare," she added.</p>

<p><br />
'Alien: Covenant' and its predecessor 'Prometheus' are part of Scott's prequel trilogy to his 1979 science-fiction horror film 'Alien'. Both the films featured Michael Fassbender in the lead.</p>

<p><br />
The third part of the prequel series has been reportedly titled 'Alien: Awakening' but there is no production date assigned to the project currently.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The legal battle between American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey and her former manager Stella Bulochnikov has finally come to an end.</p>

<p>The 48-year-old singer and her former manager settled the sexual harassment lawsuit that was filed back in April, in which the singer`s ex-manager accused her of sexual harassment, alleging that Carey was often nude in front of her, reported People.</p>

<p>"The parties have reached a mutually agreed resolution to this matter," an attorney for Bulochnikov told Page Six. While it is not clear whether the deal includes a financial settlement, the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. After working together for almost three years, Carey and Bulochnikov parted ways in November 2017 and released a joint statement at that time saying that they would remain "partners in a number of business ventures" and would "continue to support each other in those endeavours.</p>

<p>"However, back in April, Bulochnikov`s lawyers filed an order in New York court alleging breach of contract and violation of the U.S. Civil Rights Acts. According to several media reports, Bulochnikov`s lawyers claimed that Carey sexually harassed her by often being naked in front of their client, was also battling with substance abuse and owed her millions of dollars. Shortly after the claims were made by Bulochnikov, Carey`s team released a statement denying the allegations.</p>

<p>"Stella Bulochnikov was terminated from employment as Mariah`s manager due to failure to perform her job effectively and ill-serving her client. Stella was not under contract for employment. She has been spreading false rumours to any media outlet that will publish them. We won`t respond to lies and threats," Carey`s rep earlier told People. After her former manager threatened legal action, Carey opened up exclusively to People about her struggle with bipolar disorder, which she was diagnosed within 2001 after being hospitalised for a physical and emotional breakdown.</p>

<p>"Until recently I lived in denial and isolation and in constant fear someone would expose me. It was too heavy a burden to carry and I simply couldn`t do that anymore. I sought and received treatment, I put positive people around me and I got back to doing what I love - writing songs and making music," said Carey, who has since entered therapy and been on medication for her disorder.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actor Dwayne Johnson says he wanted to explore his 'biting chemistry'&nbsp;with Jason Statham in the upcoming 'Fast and Furious'&nbsp;spin-off 'Hobbs And Shaw'.</p>

<p>In an interview with, Johnson said he wanted to work on the spin-off after he made his debut in the franchise with 2011 action 'Fast Five'.</p>

<p>"We started talking about the potential of a spin-off really after 'Fast Five'. And then when 'Fast 6' came around, that's when we started having real talks about it, but then the challenge was just finding out what the creative could be and how we cracked that," Johnson said.</p>

<p>"I'm really happy that we were not only able to crack the creative and really lean into the relationship and chemistry - the biting chemistry between myself and Jason Statham - but I think that also you find out that it's something the fans have been wanting for some time now," he added.</p>

<p>The 46-year-old star said with the spin-off, his aim is to extend the life of the franchise, which is eagerly followed by millions of fans around the globe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When you have a franchise that is as successful as the 'Fast and Furious' franchise, the goal, certainly my goal, was always to try and create a scenario where we have as much longevity as we possibly can have.</p>

<p>"And in that spirit, you have to evolve and you have to spin off and you have to create new characters and new stories, especially when you're coming off 'Fast 8', where you have an eight at the end of your title," the actor added.</p>

<p>In the new film, Johnson and Statham are reprising their fan-favorite roles of Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also featuring Vanessa Kirby and Idris Elba, 'Hobbs And Shaw'&nbsp;will hit the theatres in August 2019.</p>

<p>In an interview with The Guardian, the McQueen, best known for the Oscar-winning feature '12 Years a Slave', said people of power in Hollywood lack creative imagination.</p>

<p>"I can't remember if there has ever been a movie about a gay person who is a detective or the lead in a romantic comedy who doesn't have a problem with their sexuality.</p>

<p>How is that possible? Certain people of power and influence in the industry are gay yet would never think about making a movie like that," McQueen said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What does it say about the worldview they're helping maintain? I'm not pointing fingers - I'm just saying that if we see two men or women walking down the street holding hands, we're not even going to blink. But if it's on the screen, apparently it becomes thunderous," he added.</p>

<p>The 49-year-old filmmaker's latest film 'Widows', follows the story of four widows who try to pull off a heist after the death of their husbands.</p>

<p>The director believes that the film, which was completely overlooked for Golden Globes nominations, is an example of certain blindness towards stories that don't fit a certain format.</p>

<p>"As an artist, you have your path and that's fine. And sometimes the world won't agree with you and that's fine. I'm here hopefully for a little while and will do my work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm just telling a story about four women trying to get their s**t together, about the environment in which we're living, in a way that's not high heels and handbags, that's about human beings and full-on conversations," McQueen said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Warner Bros and DC Films are developing a movie on 'Warner Bros', based on DC Comics' quirky character who debuted in 1941.</p>

<p>According to the Hollywood Reporter, Amanda Idoko has been roped in to write 'Plastic Man'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bob Shaye, the co-founder of New Line Cinema, will executive produce. No director is currently attached to the film.</p>

<p>Created by Jack Cole for Quality Comics, 'Plastic Man'&nbsp;is able to transform himself into any shape. An orphan forced to live on the streets, he turned to a life of crime, was shot during a heist, and was exposed to an unknown chemical liquid that gave his body the properties of rubber, allowing him to stretch, bounce, and mold himself into any shape. A monk attended to him while he was shot, he turned to law and order, and began capturing criminals as Plastic Man? wearing a red and yellow rubber costume.</p>

<p>DC Comics acquired the character in 1956 and began incorporating Plastic Man into the DC Universe.</p>

<p>DC's film production president Walter Hamada and Chantal Nong are overseeing the project for the studio.</p>

'Plastic Man' film in works at Warner Bros, DC

<p>By far the biggest movie of the year at the box office was 'Black Panther', the new black Marvel superhero movie, which also won rave reviews from critics who praised both its adventure and its portrayal of a majestic Africa.</p>

<p>The film tells the story of T'Challa/Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), the new king of the futuristic, wealth-laden African nation Wakanda, who is challenged by factions within his own country.</p>

<p>According to Box Office Mojo, the film has grossed 700 million dollars in the United States. Its worldwide box office takings reportedly stand at 1.1 billion US dollars.</p>

<p>The second best performing movie at the U.S. domestic box office was 'Avengers: Infinity War', which grossed 678 million dollars, according to Box Office Mojo.</p>

<p>Coming in third place was the animated film 'Incredibles 2', which has taken 608 million dollars in the U.S.</p>

<p>'Incredibles 2' picks up directly following the events of the original film with the Parr family members attempting to balance having a normal life with their superpowers. Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Vowell, and Samuel L. Jackson reprise their voice roles, while Bob Odenkirk, Catherine Keener, and Sophia Bush voice new characters. Brad Bird returned to write and direct the sequel.</p>

<p>The fourth best-performing movie at the box office was 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom', grossing 416 million dollars, followed by 'Deadpool 2', grossing 318 million dollars.</p>

<p>As ever the Academy Awards provided its share of memorable moments -- Frances McDormand won best leading actress for 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri'.</p>

<p>In her acceptance speech, she talked about her support for inclusion riders, which she later explained was an additional clause in a contract that asks for '50 per cent diversity not only in casting but also the crew'.</p>

<p>McDormand's award went missing briefly at the lavish Governors Ball party in Hollywood, where Academy Award winners have their statuettes engraved after the awards ceremony. She said at the time: "I've lost my Oscar!"</p>

<p>The Oscar was retrieved and later returned to McDormand.</p>

<p>The man accused of stealing her Oscar, Terry Bryant, has pleaded not guilty, but the case will reportedly go to trial.</p>

<p>Guillermo del Toro edged out established names and fresh talent to win his first Oscar for "The Shape of Water". His movie also took the Best Picture award.</p>

<p>Gary Oldman won best actor in a leading role for his transformation into Winston Churchill in 'Darkest Hour'.</p>

<p>Outside of the Oscars, Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for 'Shoplifters', a movie that wowed audiences for its delicate portrayal of family life and surprising plot twists.</p>

<p>The win, by a director who has won prizes at the festival in previous years, defied speculation that the Palme would go to a woman director, with three strong contenders in a year when the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal was the talk of the town.</p>

<p>'Touch Me No', a film about intimacy and sex that shocked some viewers with explicit scenes, won the Golden Bear prize for best film at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday (February 24).</p>

<p>Romanian director Adina Pintilie said she had not expected to win the award for her film, which blurs reality and fiction as it follows several characters who seek intimacy yet also fear it.</p>

<p>Director Alfonso Cuaron picked up the coveted Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival.</p>

<p>Cuaron's "Roma", named after the neighbourhood in Mexico City where writer-director-cinematographer Cuaron grew up, is a Spanish-language drama that critics almost unanimously described as "shimmering" due to its luscious black-and-white cinematography.</p>

<p>At the opposite end of cinematic achievement, 'The Emoji Movie' stunk up the annual Razzie awards in March, besting all contenders for worst achievements in film.</p>

<p>2018 was a year when music featured heavily in successful films -- from 'A Star is Born' with Lady Gaga, to the Freddie Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", and another slice of Abba in "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again".</p>

<p>It was also a year when there was a large number of female-led Hollywood films such as 'Ocean's 8', which stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Rihanna.</p>

<p>'Ocean's 8' sees Bullock play Debbie Ocean, the estranged sister of Danny Ocean, played by George Clooney in the trio of Ocean's movies.</p>

<p>In 'Peppermint' Jennifer Garner plays a woman out for revenge against not only the gang members who murdered her husband and daughter but also those who allowed the killers to walk free.</p>

<p>'Ant-Man and the Wasp' was the first Marvel feature film to spotlight a female character in the title.</p>

<p>Another big-budget movie with female leads was 'The Spy Who Dumped Me', a comedy spy thriller about two best friends who have to stick together when they get embroiled in an international conspiracy, and starred Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon in the lead roles.</p>

<p>Diversity was also celebrated in 'Crazy Rich Asians', which marked the first time in 25 years that an all-Asian cast has starred in a Hollywood film. The movie, a romantic comedy about an Asian American girl who goes to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's family for the first time, went on to become one of the highest grossing of 2018.</p>

<p>Elsewhere in the movie world, in August John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John reunited for a special 40th-anniversary screening of 'Grease' at the Oscars headquarters.</p>

<p>Also, in November, Disney released the first trailer for the live-action retelling of 'The Lion King'. On the first day of release, the trailer notched up a staggering 224.6 million views - a record for Disney according to Variety.</p>

<p>The movie, which will hit theaters next summer, boasts an ensemble voice cast that includes Beyonce, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Seth Rogan. Glover plays Simba, Beyonce plays his love interest Nala and Ejiofor plays Simba's uncle, Scar.</p>

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt reach child custody agreement: Lawyer

<p>From the skeletal insomniac in 'The Machinist' to the pot-bellied con artist in 'American Hustle', Hollywood superstar Christian Bale is that rare artist who stops at nothing to get under the skin of his characters.<br />
<br />
This 'transformation' is the key to his acting and keeps the process intriguing and interesting, Bale said in an interview.<br />
<br />
"It's not necessarily what everybody does. I greatly admire people who are able to be themselves and be entertaining and be one thing all the time. There is an incredible talent to that. I don't have that.<br />
<br />
"I like to see how much I can take myself out of each and every character I play. I actually enjoy that I don't have a particular technique and it changes all the time.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't," Bale, who is currently in India to promote Andy Serkis' 'Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle' for Netflix, said.<br />
<br />
The actor, who has spoiled 'Batman' forever for other artistes with his masterful depiction of the angst-ridden superhero in Christopher Nolan's critically-lauded and commercially successful trilogy, said people often attach the tag of "method actor" to him but the term is alien for him.<br />
<br />
Not being a trained performer, the 44-year-old approaches every role with some apprehension and that one question everybody ponders over -- "Oh god, how am I gonna do this."<br />
<br />
"I don't consider myself the master of my craft and I think that's what keeps me intrigued because I never did train. I literally had couple of weekends at YMCA. I make it up each time and my wife knows this. Every time I get cast, I go, 'Oh god! How am I gonna do this.' I change my technique every single time," Bale told PTI.<br />
<br />
"People have been saying to me that 'you are a method actor'. That requires training in the method and I have no idea what that means at all. I just make it up as I go along," he added.<br />
<br />
While superhero fans just can't see or imagine anyone else playing Batman, cinephiles have always held films such as 'The Machinist', 'American Psycho' and 'The Fighter' as examples of how great his cinema is.<br />
<br />
The star's portrayal of former US vice president Dick Cheney in Adam McKay's upcoming political drama, 'Vice', a part for which Bale gained more than 40 pounds, is generating another Oscar buzz for the actor.<br />
<br />
He got the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of trainer Dickie Eklund in David O Russel's sports drama 'The Fighter'.<br />
<br />
Playing real people might limit some actors as there is only a certain way one can be but the opposite holds true for Bale, who said he finds it liberating to be other people.</p>

<p>"When you are playing a real person, I find it actually very liberating because sometimes when you are playing an entirely fictional character, you're concerned that you are trying to steal scenes by being, perhaps, quite an exhibitionist.<br />
<br />
Whereas when you know the actual person is that, then you can turn to the director say 'Look at him for instance.' 'The Fighter', for instance, Dickie, who I'm still in touch with, look at Dickie and just come and hang out with him over dinner. He does all these things. Therefore I can get away with it. It's not just the ego of an actor. I find it actually very liberating to play real people," he said.<br />
<br />
Bale plays Bagheera, the elder brother-mentor to Mowgli in the Netflix film, which is a darker take on Rudyard Kipling's classic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Having known Serkis for a long time and being aware of the actor-director's reputation as the master of performance capture technique, Bale was sufficiently intrigued about the role.<br />
<br />
In a press conference on Sunday, the actor said he found a close connection with the three main characters&nbsp;panther Bagheera, man-cub Mowgli and the film's villain, Bengal tiger Shere Khan. Check out the photos of <a href="http://www.wionews.com/photos/mowgli-world-premiere-hollywood-and-bollywood-stars-grace-the-red-carpet-179515">the starry premiere here.&nbsp;</a><br />
<br />
"Like Mowgli, Bagheera had to work out who he was. He has taken the damage and turned it into love and positivity whereas Shere Khan has taken it and turned it into bitterness and hatred," Bale had said.<br />
<br />
' Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle'&nbsp; features performance capture and voice over by Bale, Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Naomie Harris, Tom Hollander and Peter Mullan. The film stars Rohan Chand as the title character.<br />
<br />
The film has been dubbed in Hindi by Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit and Kareena Kapoor.&nbsp;</p>

He has taken the damage and turned it into love and positivity whereas Shere Khan has taken it and turned it into bitterness and hatred," Bale had said. ' Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle' features performance capture and voice over by Bale, Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Naomie Harris, Tom Hollander and Peter Mullan. The film stars Rohan Chand as the title character. The film has been dubbed in Hindi by Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit and Kareena Kapoor.

<p>Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin was arrested and charged with assault on Friday after allegedly punching a 49-year-old man in the face during a New York parking dispute, police said.</p>

<p>The 60-year-old, who has famously impersonated President Donald Trump and who lives in downtown Manhattan with his second wife and their four young children, was arrested in Greenwich Village.</p>

<p>"Police got a call around 1:30 pm (1730 GMT) regarding an assault in progress. When we got there, we discovered that it looked like two individuals were fighting over a parking spot," a spokeswoman said.</p>

<p>The younger man had already parked his vehicle and was attempting to purchase a parking ticket, when he got into a dispute with Baldwin, "who then punched him in the face," the officer said.</p>

<p>She said the unnamed man was taken to hospital in a "stable" condition, while Baldwin was in custody.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He was subsequently charged with assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree, and ordered to appear in court on November 26, police said.</p>

<p>Baldwin is well known for his hot temper and for impersonating Trump on satirical US television show "Saturday Night Live." The Oscar nominee recently launched a Sunday night talk show on ABC television.</p>

<p>In 2014, he was detained by New York police for riding his bicycle the wrong way down a street.</p>

<p>In late 2013, NBC scrapped his late-night chat show after he allegedly subjected a photographer to a homophobic slur outside his apartment on the day that a Canadian actress convicted of stalking him was jailed.</p>

<p>In a subsequent profanity-laden article in New York Magazine, the actor said he was finished with public life and that the Big Apple no longer offered his then baby daughter a "normal" life.</p>

<p>The near 5,300-word rant denied allegations that he insulted gays and lashed out furiously against the media, the city where he has lived since 1979, and US public life in general.</p>

<p>Despite that February 2014 article, the actor still lives in Manhattan with second wife Hilaria. The couple have four young children together.</p>

<p>His anger made headlines as long ago as 2007, when he left a notorious message for his then 11-year-old daughter with first wife Kim Basinger, calling her a "rude, thoughtless little pig."</p>

<p>There will only be a handful of people in this world who have claimed to have seen some Hollywood films, to have missed out on classic action-film ‘Gladiator’. We hear that Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning film is most likely to get a sequel.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The sequel of ‘Gladiator’ will reportedly focus on Lucius, the son of Lucilla, which was played by Connie Nielsen in the first film. Lucius will reportedly be shown as an adult who is ready to gladiate. In the first film, Russell Crowe’s character, Maximus met his end.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This is not the first time when Ridley has suggested making a sequel to ‘Gladiator’ and there’s no surprise here as the film won several Oscars and was a commercial hit at the box office, becoming a classic in its category.</p>

There will only be a handful of people in this world who have claimed to have seen some Hollywood films, to have missed out on classic action-film ‘Gladiator’. We hear that Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning film is most likely to get a sequel. The sequel of ‘Gladiator’ will reportedly focus on Lucius, the son of Lucilla, which was played by Connie Nielsen in the first film. Lucius will reportedly be shown as an adult who is ready to gladiate. In the first film, Russell Crowe’s character, Maximus met his end. This is not the first time when Ridley has suggested making a sequel to ‘Gladiator’ and there’s no surprise here as the film won several Oscars and was a commercial hit at the box office, becoming a classic in its category.
