There was drama on Britney Spears' first day as a judge on The X Factor. First there were reports that Spears walked off the set after a contestant reportedly butchered her song, "Hold it Against Me." Spears did not immediately come back and four contestants auditioned in front of the remaining judges with Spears' seat empty. But a rep for the show said Spears was not upset over the song and that she "just took a short break." For her first day of shooting, Spears, 30, wore a tight hot-pink minidress with a sheer, plunging neckline, while fellow new judge Demi Lovato, 19, kept things cool in a green frock and leather jacket.

In an interview, Janet Jackson said she doesn't want her 14-year-old niece, Paris Jackson to start acting. "She's a very tough, smart girl. But it's a cutthroat industry. I wouldn't want my child to do it," Jackson told Prevention magazine. In December, Paris landed a role in the upcoming movie Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys. Janet said she's worried Paris will miss out on childhood just like Paris' father, Michael Jackson.

Jameson failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for misdemeanor suspicion of DUI. Jameson sustained minor injuries from the crash but refused medical treatment. Jameson is out on bail.

Official Synopsis of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim

With a title that hints at nothing more than location, it's no wonder that director Guillermo del Toro has taken every possible opportunity to explain that his new sci-fi movie, Pacific Rim, features gigantic mechanized robots battling gigantic monsters or "kaiju," as they are known in Japan (in contrast, Japanese kaiju movies are pretty easy to identify by title alone, e.g., 2001's Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack). Del Toro has spoken at length about his love of kaiju movies, even calling Pacific Rim a "very, very beautiful poem to giant monsters," but the actual plot of the movie has remained a mystery until now.

After a movie blogger posted an unconfirmed synopsis earlier this week, Warner Bros. sent out a one-pager containing the official synopsis of Pacific Rim, which ties together many of the story elements that del Toro has teased in the past and even confirms some of the information that NewsInFilm claimed to have gleaned from a copy of Travis Beacham's (Clash of the Titans remake) script well over a year ago. The release did not confirm MarketSaw's claim that the movie will be released in 3D, however.

New Banner Posters for The Dark Knight Rises Depict All-Out War in Gotham City

Talk about upping the ante! We couldn't have been any less impressed with the new poster for The Dark Knight Rises that was released earlier this week, but it appears it was only a forerunner of the good things to come. Almost immediately after the "fiery redux" poster hit the 'net, three visually striking (and wet) new character posters popped up online. Now, four epic banner posters/billboards have also been released and they depict no less than all-out war between Batman (Christian Bale), the Gotham City Police Department, and Bane's (Tom Hardy) army, with Catwoman's (Anne Hathaway) allegiance — She's riding Batman's Bat-pod, but is it a loner or did the infamous cat burglar swipe it? — still in question.

10 Movie Sequels Decades in the Making

Let's be honest for a moment: Sequels are all about money. Sure, they can be artistically satisfying at times, but for the most part it's the studios realizing that you really liked a flick, and that you'd probably be willing to shell out to see something similar. As a result, sequels usually get the greenlight as soon as the studios are relatively sure that the original is a blockbuster, at which point they're rushed into production before you forget that the franchise exists.

Every now and then, though, a sequel gets made long after the original. Such is the case with Men in Black III, arriving a solid fifteen years after Men in Black made us love the humorous exploits of the Agents J and K... And 10 years after Men in Black II made us question whether we were too quick to judge. We decided to weigh in on which ones were worth the wait (hint: not many) and which were blatant cash grabs that should've been left in the past.

These movies weren't always worth the wait >>

Grisly Red Band Trailer for Franck Khalfoun's Maniac Starring Elijah Wood

When most people think of Elijah Wood, they almost immediately associate him with family-friendly roles, such as Frodo Baggins, the loyal and brave Hobbit who saves all of Middle-earth in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, or as the voice of Mumble in the Happy Feet movies. But, the fresh-faced thirty-one-year-old has also taken his turn acting in more adult fare, playing darker characters like the cannibal killer Kevin in Robert Rodriguez's Sin City with the same zeal he puts into his lighter work.

Wood will return to the Shire this December, once again portraying Frodo in Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and it's likely he will once again lend his voice to Mumble should a third Happy Feet go into production, but he has also returned to the dark side in his latest movie, portraying a crazed killer who scalps women to adorn his collection of mannequins in director Franck Khalfoun's (M.I.L.F.) Maniac. The first trailer for the movie has been released and it shows Wood at his psycho-best, but be warned: IT. IS. GRISLY. Watch at your own risk.

First TV Spot and International Trailer for New Total Recall Starring Colin Farrell

Swarthy Irish hearthrob Colin Farrell's first stab (bad vampire pun intended) at remaking a popular genre movie was a bust, with his Fright Night remake just barely covering its budget and even failing to beat the 1985 original at the domestic box office. But, Farrell will have another shot at remaking a classic this summer as he fills in for Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid in director Len Wiseman's (Live Free or Die Hard) Total Recall remake.

Though there's no way for Farrell to compete with the "Austrian Oak" in the body department, all signs point to Wiseman's adaptation of the late great Philip K. Dick's short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" making us forget we ever saw Paul Verhoeven's 1990 adaptation a half-dozen times (except maybe for the mutant prostitute with three breasts; that's a character that's hard to forget). But, don't take our word for it, check out the first TV spot and the "Official International Trailer" for the new Total Recall and judge for yourself.

Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Character Posters Released

It's been a few weeks since anything new from the last chapter of the Twilight Saga was released, but today there are three new character posters out for Breaking Dawn - Part 2. Since there are three of them, it's no surprise that Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) are the characters represented.

In the posters, Bella is looking decidedly un-human with red eyes, granite skin, and striking vampire beauty. She's also wearing what is surely a very chic leather jacket that coordinates nicely with the wool coat that Edward is wearing in his poster. Jacob is, of course, just wearing a t-shirt, but being a werewolf he wouldn't need or want a coat. The only other elements on the posters are the November 16 release date and the word "Forever." Simple but effective.

Charlize Theron Chokes Michael Fassbender in New Prometheus Preview Clip

Whether it was by an android or a corporate shill, the crews of Alien and Aliens found themselves pawns in the hands of the Weyland-Yutani corporation and their pursuit of an alien life form. Since director Ridley Scott's Prometheus is set in the same universe as Alien (perhaps a prequel — vote's not in yet), the presence of both Charlize Theron as Weyland Corporation employee Meredith Vickers, and Michael Fassbender as Weyland's latest android David seemed to imply that the crew of the Prometheus were going to be doubly-screwed by Weyland Industries. However, a recently released featurette suggested that Theron's Vickers might actually be working in the crew's best interest, even if she seems to lack a favorable amount of social skills.

In the latest clip from Prometheus, which aired on an episode of The Tonight Show where Theron was a guest, sees Vickers confront David in a hallway and demand to know what "he" said, revealing that there's some behind-the-scenes entity pulling the strings on the Prometheus mission.
