Guillermo del Toro tells MTV News he’d rather direct the retelling than just produce. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Guillermo del Toro Photo: MTV News The pairing of Guillermo del Toro and Emma Watson on a “Beauty and the Beast” remake seems almost too good to be true, but the director confirmed to MTV News that the project is indeed in the works. “It’s one of those landmarks, one of those holy grails, and I really hope to do it,” del Toro said. “We’re just starting the process.” Originally, it was reported that del Toro would be producing the flick alongside “Crazy, Stupid, Love” producer Denise Di Novi, but he shared with MTV News that he would rather direct the movie. He said he’s starting to write the story line for it now while putting his alien movie “Pacific Rim” through production. Instead of a modernized take like this year’s “Beastly,” consider del Toro’s movie to be a classic retelling of the tale as old as time. He confirmed that his version will take place in the same period setting as the fairy tale; we’re hoping that means it will include some of the stylized visuals he’s become known for with “Pan’s Labyrinth” and the “Hellboy” movies. Del Toro didn’t have a timeline yet for when his first draft on “Beauty and the Beast” would be done, but he said it should be within the next few years. After all, he’d need it to be done by then for leading lady Watson to still be a prime choice for the role of the titular beauty. “It’s a movie that you have to make in the next few years for Emma to be perfect for the part,” he said. “I think she is the perfect character to do that movie.” Watson recently wrapped filming on “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and, barring her potential involvement in Taylor Lautner’s “Incarceron,” has a free schedule for now.

My name is Melisa , and these are a couple more of my Bieber Experiences! I was on the Today show with Justin Bieber and got to ask him a question on TV. Click here to read that MBE. Anyways it had been a while since Justin Bieber had come to NYC , so when I heard he was going to be at Macys and you only had to pay $135, I decided to go. My friends and I camped out and Justin tweeted this picture of us http://twitpic.com/5ex5gj . The next day I headed out to the city and decided to stop by, The View. After waiting a couple minutes, Justin shows up in the car. I’m right near the car and he waved. Later that day I got ready for the meet and greet. My friends and I were the last ones on the meet and greet line. When my friend Merlixse went up, the camera got messed up and she got extra time with Justin. I told my friend, “You’re so lucky “, Justin heard it and told my friend, “I think your friends’ are a little jealous”. When it was my turn to go up I went straight to Justin and gave him a hug , he then said something, I couldn’t make out the words but I did hear “beautiful”. I was stunned. Then we were kind off holding on to each others hand and it was one of those moments where you walk letting go slowly. Then another time I met Justin, was when he was with Selena! I’m the girl in the white denim jacket on Justin’s right side . It was on July 30th 2011 . I was in the city and my friend who had met Justin and Selena the day before had told me to go and give it a shot. I saw a car there and it had Justin’s shoes , they were Supras so I knew it was his. My 2 friends and I were the only 3 people on the other side of the hotel. 5 minutes after, I hear random people screaming, “OMG it’s Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez”. At first I thought they were mocking us, until I turned around and bumped right into Kenny. He was like, “Hey back up” and I was like “Omg, no I didn’t know, sorry”. Justin chuckled. I went up to Selena because I wanted him to see I wasn’t going to be rude to her and said, “Selena you’re so pretty and lucky”, very politely she said, “Thank you sweetie”. Justin comes up to me and asks me, “Do you want a picture” and I said yes. Justin and I are posing for our picture and my friend Emma is in another world so I’m like, “Emma take my picture”. She was literally stunned. Justin and I are still there posing for the picture awkwardly laughing. Then after like 20 seconds Kenny says, “Guys let’s do a group picture”. I got next to Justin, my friend Emma gets on the other side of him and my friend Alia gets next to me. We felt bad for Selena so my friend Alia says, “Selena, get in the picture”. Selena was so happy that us being beliebers, we respected her and tried to include her. Anyways they had to go but before Selena left, I said, “Selena, my boy best friend loves you” ad she said, “Tell him thank you for the support”. My friends and I were happy dancing there, then all the other people from the other side run to their car. They were nice enough to stop and sign and take car pictures with people. I’m still dancing and I saw Justin was looking at me so I say, “You’re so F-ing hot , get in my bed” he smirked and looked away. I honestly don’t know why I said that, I was just so excited. To everyone who hasn’t met Justin your time will come . Trust me, waiting for it makes it so much more amazing. @woahitsxmely Here is the original post: My name is Melisa , and these are a couple more of my Bieber…

Former Spice Girls singer Mel C, a.k.a. Melanie Chisholm, is critical of Rihanna for being too sexual in her videos and on stage for her young fans. Mel, who has a two-year-old daughter Scarlet with boyfriend Thomas Starr, has grown concerned about the musician’s “inappropriate” imagery. In an interview with the Daily Mirror (UK), she said : “People have to take responsibility because we’ve got to a point where sexualization of children has gone too far. I think music is a big part of that. Women in music are extremely sexual and have young fans. It is inappropriate.” ” Rihanna has a responsibility and although culture’s always changing, it’s changed too much. It needs to be dealt with. It’s reached saturation point.” “We owe it to our kids to protect them.” Mel believes RiRi makes many of her X-rated artistic decisions – whipping reporters, dressing in next to nothing, her “S&M” video in general – because she isn’t a mother herself. That’s something she hopes will change one day. “I love Rihanna, I think she’s a f***ing brilliant artist, with great songs, a great record and she looks fantastic … but she’s not a mum. Maybe if she becomes one someday then she’ll feel different. I hope so anyway.” Mel and her Spice Girls bandmates – Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Emma Bunton – were criticized in the late 90s for being too sexual. “Yes we wore crop tops, look how much has changed,” Mel C says. “We always sat down as a group and if somebody felt something was inappropriate for our young fans, we did something about it. I think that’s something younger people in the music industry today, like Rihanna, should do now.” What do you think? Is Rihanna a bad role model ? Is Mel C hypocritical? [Photos: WENN.com]

Rachel Weisz delivers an extraordinary performance in this week’s The Whistleblower , which features the Oscar-winner as a Nebraska cop whose stint as a UN peacekeeper in Bosnia unravels when she discovers her coalition’s complicity in an international sex-slavery ring. Based on true events involving Weisz’s character Kathryn Bolkovac, the film charts a downswing of humanity salvaged only by Bolkovac’s struggle to expose it and, in turn, Weisz’s sensitive handling of a woman coming to terms with a world beyond compassion.

Citizens of Pittsburgh, your local authorities have a message for you: If you hear gunshots, carnage, or superhero antics in your streets this weekend, do not assume that it’s because The Dark Knight Rises is filming. According to a report, Pittsburgh police want the city’s residents to dial 911 any time a mysterious noise disturbs them — even if it’s clearly just Christian Bale hollering about craft services and commanding Anne Hathaway to step away from his finger sandwich. The authorities have Pittsburgh’s best interest in mind, but still — I hope they aren’t deluged with reports of a rowdy thug who keeps claiming to be through with batsuits professionally.

Second song from band’s upcoming Neighborhoods album is equally indebted to both classic Blink and iconic West Coast punk. By James Montgomery Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus Photo: Jason Kempin/ Getty Images It’s easy to compare Blink-182 ‘s brand-new “Heart’s All Gone” with ” Up All Night ,” the first song they released off their upcoming Neighborhoods album, mostly because the similarities begin and end right there. They are both songs by the band, and they are both on the new record. Perhaps, then, it’s best to contrast the two songs, because they’re different in just about every conceivable way. “Up All Night” premiered with much fanfare — on the band’s site and L.A. radio station KROQ — and was greeted with much the same. “Heart’s All Gone,” on the other hand, bowed without much notice: just a quick link on Mark Hoppus’ Google Plus page that took you to a new website and a simple instruction to “Command the ‘A’ ” (or, if you’re on a PC, “CTRL + A”). Doing so on the new site, of course, revealed not only lyrics but the song itself. And that’s when the differences between the two tracks really become apparent. Because while “Up All Night” synthesized all of the band’s previous endeavors (Plus-44, Angels & Airwaves, Box Car Racer) into something entirely new, “Heart’s All Gone” does the complete opposite: It is very much a blast from the past — both Blink’s and the West Coast punk scene that birthed them. With its breakneck guitars, yelped vocals and cascading drums, it sounds like something taken from Blink’s 1997 Dude Ranch album (or ’01’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket ), but at the same time, it also recalls classic West Coast churn and burn,

We have got to do better about preventing these little children from doing hoodrat isht with their friends. Atlanta police say two 8-year-old boys were among a number of juveniles implicated recently in a spate of burglaries in southwest Atlanta. “We are seeing an increase in burglaries in the Princeton Lake & Deerwood communities,” APD Zone 4 Commander Maj. Rodney Bryant wrote Monday in a email alert sent to affected residents. One of the incidents occurred last weekend when police interrupted an attempted car theft on Harwell Road in Zone 4. An 8-year-old suspect was detained along with a 14-year-old, but no charges were filed against the younger child, Bryant said. An 8-year-old also was suspected in a home break-in on Abbey Avenue near Washington and Ben Hill roads. He, too, was accompanied by an older youth, Bryant said. In both cases, the alleged junior bandits were returned to their parents. Bryant said Zone 4 officers have made a number of burglary-related arrests in recent weeks, with juvenile offenders accounting for more than half of those charged. Thank goodness Georgia kids go back to school this week and next… Damn delinquents! Source

Game will talk beef and album updates, while Diddy will swing through to make a special announcement, at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com. By Rob Markman Game Photo: Jason LaVeris/ FilmMagic Game has been making a lot of noise lately, and on Wednesday, the West Coast MC will continue to make headlines when he appears on MTV’s “RapFix Live” at 4 p.m. ET. With the release date for his oft-delayed The R.E.D. Album fast approaching, the Los Angeles rapper is making waves, first on his jarring “Uncle Otis” track, on which he poked fun at everyone from Jay-Z and Kreayshawn to Marc Anthony. Opening the song going directly at Jigga, the Game spat, “N—as be chasing they youth, but it’s gone/ Yo, ‘Ye, this n—a ain’t even wanna put you on.” He later took swipes at inaccuracies in the lyrics of Big Sean’s hit-single “My Last.” “You turned around and put on Sean/ But forgot to tell him Beni Han Han don’t sell no f—ing won ton.” It hasn’t been all controversial, however: Last week, fans got a taste of Game’s “Drug Test,” which features Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, and on Monday, he leaked his Hood Morning (No Typo): (Candy Coronas) mixtape. On Wednesday, Game will talk about all his latest developments with Sway on the “RapFix” couch. Diddy will also check into the show with a very special announcement, and there is no telling what the Bad Boy head honcho has up his sleeve. Jay-Z and Kanye’s Watch the Throne August 8 release date is less than one week away, and the anticipation and buzz has been steadily building. On Monday, the duo played the album for a select crowd in the American Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium in New York City, and on Tuesday morning (August 2), pre-sale tickets for the Throne ‘s upcoming tour went on sale. In this week’s episode, Sway will deliver all the latest WTT news. You don’t want to miss it. Visit MTV.com on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET to watch Game and special guest Diddy on “RapFix Live”!
