The fifth annual Cinema Eye Honors for Nonfiction Filmmaking will be handed out next month in New York City, with such inveterate documentarians as Errol Morris ( Tabloid ), Steve James ( The Interrupters ) and Kevin Macdonald ( Life in a Day ) facing off against the upstart likes of Alma Har’el ( Bombay Beach ), Tristan Patterson ( Dragonslayer ) and Clio Barnard ( The Arbor ). But look no further than the Audience Choice Award nominees for the most dynamic, high-stakes clash between old and new.
Sounds like someone needs to get her life together: Rihanna left fans angry after she came on stage an hour late in London last night (December 1). The singer was due to begin her ‘Loud’ tour show at The O2 arena at 9pm, but fans were stood waiting until 10pm before the star began her setlist. An angry concert-goer told Digital Spy: “She didn’t come on till 10, leaving the audience waiting an hour. She then got booed and her singing was rubbish. “The show was unnecessarily raunchy and inappropriate. When we left halfway through the show, along with loads of other people, staff were handing out information on making complaints.” The 23-year-old was jeered over a similar situation at The O2 last month, when she left her audience waiting 55 minutes before starting her show. Recent reports have suggested that Rihanna is currently on 24-hour health watch after suffering from “exhaustion and stress”. Man, perhaps RihRih needs to take BeyBey’s advice and fall the f**k back for a little bit. Source More On Bossip! Wanna Know How Much These Stars Really Weigh??? True Love?

The X Factor tried to shake things up this week by sending TWO contestants home – but the only real surprise was that the show featured Howie Mandel in the audience. Isn’t he a NBC guy? Indeed, the two performances given the boot were the most obvious selections of the remaining nine, one a group, the other an over-30 hopeful. So long, Lakoda Rayne and LeRoy Bell. You had a decent run. Rayne was sent packing early on in the broadcast – which also featured performances by Kelly Clarkson and Bruno Mars – as that group received the lowest number of votes following last night’s performance show. Paula Abdul now has no more proteges remaining. Bell, meanwhile, was in the bottom two alongside Marcus Canty . The judges tried to instill some tension in the second elimination, deadlocking their votes and leaving the singers’ fate up to the audience. Steve Jones promptly read Bell’s name off a card and the elder crooner took his ousting like a man. You tell us: Did the right contestants get sent home?
Welcome to the final seven, Marcus Canty. Let’s be honest: it will take a heart of stone to vote out this X Factor contestant this week, following his emotional rendition of “A Song for Mama,” a Boyz II Men single dedicated to Canty’s mother, who was dabbing her eyes in the audience throughout the rendition. How did this performance stack up against competitors such as Chris Rene ? Watch his unique take on The Beatles and then compare it below to Canty’s heartfelt cover… Marcus Canty – A Song For Mama
My name is Dominika and I’m from Poland. I’m #POLISHBELIEBERS. I am 14 years old and I SAW JUSTIN BIEBER . When I found out Justin will be in London, I immediately started to scream and cry because I thought I would never see him. I always believed and still believe in the three magic word’s “NEVER SAY NEVER”. My story began the day I learned Justin will be in London. On 7th November, at 3 am I went to Westfield London . After a few hours, the queue had become very large. We stood and waited for 4 hours, until they start to give out armbands. We were near the stage and near paparazzi and television cameras. Then on stage, DJ TAY JAMES appeared. He started to warm up the audience, I started to scream because it was my first time seeing TEAM BIEBER . It was very important for me. Then the fulfillment of my dreams came true! Justin came on stage and began to speak. He said he loved his beliebers and thank you for coming! Justin sang 4 songs, ‘SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN’, ‘NEVER NEVER SAY’, ‘MISTLETOE’ and ‘BABY’. From the beginning of the second song, I started crying, it was a great experience for me. When he had finished singing Baby, Justin threw his hat into the crowd. I was very sad I could not get an autograph or a picture together but my dream came true. I saw him live. -@Domciulka See the rest here: My name is Dominika and I’m from Poland. I’m…
Nothing like girls in skirts sitting at a good vantage point in front of you…cuz you know there’s always going to be a slip up, no one, no matter how well trained they are, can sit and get up without flashing a little twat….and when they are up on stage…it’s far easy to catch the slip up, then the way I’ve been caught many times trying to do when a bitch is sitting at the same level as you….you know pretending to drop a pen, forced to crawl under the table, is far less subtle way to get flashed… Unfortunaltey, I don’t have any panty pics from this TWILIGHT BULLSHIT EVENT, but I know they are out there, or that the audience did, cuz it’s just science motherfuckers…and sometimes just knowing that is enough to get my fantasy wheels turning, because I’m weird and love when girls let us look up their skirts…knowingly, unknowingly, panties or not. It’s always amazing.
“Nobody makes a Scooby-Doo 2 and goes, ‘Oh, we’re going to make a…’ And I don’t think Scooby-Doo 2 is a bad movie; I think Scooby-Doo 2 is exactly what it’s supposed to be for exactly the audience. It’s just that people who are tastemakers are like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to deal with the kid who was in that movie.’ Now, I’m the same guy who was in SLC Punk and I’m the same guy who was in Dead Man’s Curve and every other independent movie in the world. But, you know, it’s just that thing where it’s like somehow, someway, you get kind of labeled this guy who was in a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie too many. And Freddie Prinze Jr. — it’s not his fault, either — it’s just these are the things that happen.” [ Moviefone ]
Magic Johnson took the time out to let everyone know how he feels about shady BronBron and his non-championship having self: It all started when Johnson, a successful businessman in addition to a Hall of Fame basketball player, television personality and HIV activist, was asked which of his accomplishments he would prefer as his lasting legacy. “There’s going to always be great players in basketball. There’s going to always be guys who win championships in the NBA, except LeBron …” That drew a loud mix of applause, laughter and shouts from the audience, to which Johnson replied “Don’t be mad!” And at that moment, Magic couldn’t resist some fun at LeBron’s expense. He did point out that he was kidding — but the zingers kept coming, one after another. “Everybody’s always asking, ‘Who is better between Kobe (Bryant) and LeBron?’ I’m like, Are you kidding me? I’m like you’re kidding me … Kobe, five championships; LeBron, zero.” “I love the young man though. I know he’s going to get better in the fourth quarter this year.” More laughter. “I’m not hating on LeBron,” he added. “He’s a triple-double threat every single game and he’s going to get better.” Awww…poor Bron Bron.
