They will all reconvene later this year in the final installment of The Twilight Saga, but Robert Pattinson ( Cosmopolis ), Kristen Stewart ( Snow White and the Huntsman ) and Taylor Lautner (below) have been doing their own thing these days. Lautner will be seen at the Cannes Film Festival this week in Tracers , a Parkour-based film that finds the actor starring as a bike messenger named Cam. The character gets involved in an organized crime ring, along with Parkour, which is described by Wikipedia as “a physical discipline which focuses on efficient movement around obstacles.” It’s what all those people are doing in those YouTube videos across your Facebook feed, bouncing off walls and railings. Pattinson’s Cosmopolis , meanwhile, will also be screened at Cannes. It’s a major honor for both studs.
Controversy over Mark Zuckerberg’s hoodie abated Friday as he turned investors’ attention to more important matters at a presentation in Palo Alto, Calif. Chief among them? Improving Facebook’s mobile application . About 200 investors showed up at an IPO presentation to quiz Zuckerberg about generating revenue from mobile users, crucial for long-term fiscal growth. Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s COO, said overall advertising is gaining steam, with most marketers increasing their spending with Facebook. The executives, who appeared on stage alongside CFO David Ebersman, highlighted social ads as an important tool for Facebook to tackle mobile challenges. The ads, incorporating information about Facebook users’ friends who “like” certain products, are better-suited to the smaller screens of smartphones. More than half of Facebook’s users currently use it from phones. As Facebook collects more information about its users, such as location data, Facebook will be able to offer more relevant mobile ads, executives said. Facebook aims to raise about $10.6 billion via its initial public offering, dwarfing Google’s recent IPO and giving it a market value around $96 billion. The Facebook IPO marks a watershed moment for the new generation of startups that are challenging established players such as Google and Yahoo. Consumers’ online time – and advertising dollars – are very much the future. With 900 million users, Facebook is the world’s dominant social network. Zuckerberg, the 28-year-old CEO, was Time Magazine ‘s Person of the Year in 2010 and was depicted in the fictionalized 2010 movie The Social Network .

Facebook-aholics, do you agree with this one?? From bad breakups to bathroom updates to the amount of bacon your best friend can eat in a single sitting, we’ve all grown used to oversharers spilling their guts both online and off. “I share pretty much everything,” says Laura Keesee, a 25-year-old public relations account coordinator from Orlando, Fla. “From my random ADD thoughts to when some food has upset my stomach to details about my relationship. I think oversharing is part of my personality.” It’s also intrinsically rewarding, according to new research out of Harvard University that used fMRI scans to show how our brains react to sharing information about ourselves with others. “The Internet has drastically expanded the number of mediums through which we can talk about ourselves to other people,” says Diana Tamir, a graduate student in the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab at Harvard and lead author of a study published today in the journal PNAS. “We were interested in why people engage in self-disclosure so seemingly excessively. The hypothesis we wanted to test was whether or not this behavior provided people with intrinsic or subjective value — did it feel good to do it.” As it turns out, it feels so good, our brains responds to self-disclosure the same way they respond to pleasure triggers like food, money or sex. Tamir and her colleagues conducted five studies involving nearly 300 people, most of them from the Harvard and Cambridge community. In some studies, participants were asked to disclose their own opinions while being scanned using fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging, a technique that directly measures the blood flow in the brain, thereby providing information on brain activity. In others, participants were asked to complete certain behavioral tasks in exchange for varying amounts of money. Study subjects, as it turns out, were willing to go without 17 to 25 percent of their potential earnings if they could reveal info about themselves to others. “We called this the ‘penny for your thoughts study,’” says Tamir. “We wanted to know if people would pay money to engage in this behavior — to share information about themselves with other people — and it turns out they will.” Brain scans of participants revealed even more about the rewards of self-disclosure. Lawrence Winnerman, a 42-year-old project manager from Seattle, says he definitely finds oversharing rewarding. “If I post something on Facebook or say something that I think is going to be really funny and also particularly revealing about myself, I’m looking for a reaction and a laugh,” he says. “And I get really disappointed if I don’t get one. I know I’m absolutely doing it for the value of the rewards.” Damn, even 42-year-old project managers get a tingly sensation when people “Like” and interact with their FB updates. SMH. Thoughts??

Beastie Boy Mike D pays tribute to his fallen comrade in Facebook post. By Gil Kaufman The Beastie Boys in the mid 1980s Photo: Getty Images While some groups stay together for the money, the fans or the music, the Beastie Boys kept it going for nearly 30 years for something a bit less tangible: brotherhood. The three lifelong friends toured the world, landed the first #1 rap album in history in 1987 with Licensed to Ill and sold more than 20 million albums in the SoundScan era (which began in 1991). The success was a bonus, but the sense you got at the end of the day is that Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and the late Adam “MCA” Yauch just really loved hanging out together, making music and each other laugh. Yauch, who died at age 47 on Friday after a three-year battle with cancer , had been making music, videos and associated nonsense with Diamond and Horovitz since the three were snot-nosed punk teens. That might explain why the message posted by Diamond on the Beastie Boys’ Facebook page on Monday (May 7) morning felt like a brother struggling to come to terms with the passing of someone who was more than just his partner in rhyme. “I know, we should have tweeted and instagrammed every sad, happy and inspired thought, smile or tear by now,” D wrote in the post that came a short time after a similarly emotional message from Horovitz . “But honestly the last few days have just been a blur of deep emotions for our closest friend, band mate and really brother. I miss Adam so much. “He really served as a great example for myself and so many of what determination, faith, focus, and humility coupled with a sense of humor can accomplish. The world is in need of many more like him. We love you Adam.” The post was accompanied by a photo of the scoreboard at Madison Square Garden emblazoned with a photo of Yauch this weekend, one of dozens of tributes to the New York native rapper that came in the days following his death. “This photo … is just one awesome example of how NYC is such a unique place that amidst it’s huge size and frenetic pace it really opens up it’s heart in so many ways and on so many levels in times like these,” Diamond wrote. “And though it makes me cry sometimes, it has been really amazing and moving to see.” Share your memories of Adam on Twitter using the hashtag #RIPMCA.
