The success of the psychological thriller effect from "Black Swan" may have led one of the scriptwriters to pen another thriller. 24 Frames reports that Mark Heyman, one of the scriptwriters of the Natalie Portman-starring film, has written a script for "XOXO", an upcoming movie which will revolve around a Facebook stalker.
The forthcoming movie follows a twenty-something guy who meets a female friend on Facebook. He later strikes a relationship with the young woman, only to find a disturbing fact that the girl is obsessed and stalking him.
Apparently, the plot is a mixture of "Black Swan", "The Social Network" and "Catfish". "Black Swan" is represented by the obsessive relationship, and "The Social Network" contributes to the Facebook focus. "XOXO" will also use social media savvy a la "Catfish" to explore digital identities.
Heyman is allegedly shopping the "upscale genre" script for "XOXO" around the town, including to numerous genre labels, as the movie needs financing and distribution. "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky will team up with "Sideways" producer Michael London to produce the upcoming film.
Justin Bieber won't limit himself in his next studio installment. The Canadian pop idol revealed what he wants to do with the album when promoting his fragrance "Someday" at Macy's last week. To MTV, he dished on his plan to get involved in the production beside continuing to write his own songs.
"I want to work a lot with myself," he gushed. "And [I want to] write a lot myself. I will be working with a lot of other producers and stuff like that, but I'm just writing a lot, writing on tour." He went on, "[I'm] writing about how I feel and producing. I've been producing on my laptop and on my computer."
Talking about what he has worked on so far, Bieber teased, "I've done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it's gonna have that vibe." He added, "I'm not gonna really limit myself. I think music is music, and genre - I mean, I know there's country music, there's rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music."
Earlier this year, Sean Garrett who is involved in the project said Bieber's new album will "segue him into young adulthood." He explained, "We want all the fans that started out with him to still be intrigued and excited about him, but we want to also stretch out a little bit and make the fans that are 22-23 years old love Justin as well."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) annually compiles a list for the Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities, and Russell Brand is taking the crown this year. Beating the likes of Joaquin Phoenix, Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde and Anne Hathaway, the "Arthur" star shared the title with Kristen Wiig.
The 36-year-old husband of Katy Perry has been a vegetarian since the age of 14. While on "Live! With Regis and Kelly" recently, he explained to host Kelly Ripa that he does not even consume fish oil. "I'm vegetarian. I think it's cruel to squeeze oil out of a fish... Cause they're lovely little guys, aren't they? You shouldn't eat animals; it's mean to them!"
37-year-old Kristen, meanwhile, became a vegetarian to help her stay fit. The "Saturday Night Live" veteran, who recently stars in "Bridesmaids", spilled in an interview with Women's Health that she maintains a healthy lifestyle by eating a lot of tofu and soy in addition to running and doing yoga.
Last year, the title of Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities went to "The Biggest Loser" trainer Bob Harper and "Tron Legacy" beauty Olivia Wilde.
