'The Lone Ranger' is an expensive gamble for Walt Disney Studios

Disney is making a big bet on a character that is largely unfamiliar to the young moviegoers who are the key demographic for big summer movies.



In Walt Disney Studios' remake of "The Lone Ranger," the masked lawman and his loopy sidekick, Tonto, stop a runaway train, are beaten by bad guys and besieged by scorpions, and blow up a massive bridge with dynamite — all while trying to avenge the death of the Lone Ranger's brother and save his wife and child.







Bieber posts photo with Selena titled '#heartbreaker'


Justin Bieber posted a picture with his on-off girlfriend, Selena Gomez, on his Instagramaccount on Friday, and captioned it '#heartbreaker.'

Eva Longoria confirms she is dating Ernesto Argüello

Well it certainly seems as though they are 'Ready for Love'

After much speculation, Eva Longoria has confirmed that she is dating philanthropist Ernesto Argüello. The two met while working on NBC's Ready for Love, where Eva served as a producer and Ernesto one of the bachelors.
Argüello is from Miami and was described on the show as a well-educated, entrepreneur. While Argüello had his choice of many women on the dating show, reports leaked early on that Longoria was after one of the three contestants. Although viewers never got to witness a finale, Ernesto ended up choosing former Miss USA, Shandi Finnessey. Things didn't work out and, shortly after, rumors began swirling that he and the former Desperate Housewives actress were an item.
In the show's promo, the 34-year-old expressed his hopes of have a relationship like his parents, who have been married for nearly 40 years, reports E! News.
If they were trying to hide the romance before, they certainly aren't now. Longoria tells People Magazine that the reason they work is because they "truly started as friends," explaining that it's why their "relationship is so special."
The 38-year-old tweeted on Thursday, “Happy to share NOW that it’s true! Couldn’t be happier." Her man was not shy about their love either, responding with “Me too baby, I LOVE YOU.”
Eva has been married twice, first to General Hospital's Tyler Christopher in 2002 then NBA star Tony Parker from 2007-2011.
Ready for Love was cancelled after only a few episodes due to low ratings. Hopefully this new romance will last longer.

Man tries to blackmail Paula Deen in $250,000 extortion plot


He was looking to make some dough off Paula Deen, but he bit off more than he could chew.
The FBI busted Thomas Paculis in upstate New York on Friday on charges he tried to extort Deen, the scandal-scarred former Food Network superstar — for $250,000.
Paculis, 62, cooked his own goose when he emailed Deen’s lawyer and demanded cash in exchange for keeping quiet about “true and damning” statements involving the television icon “using the N-word in her business practices,” according to court papers.

Deen, 66, was booted from Food Network and lost endorsement deals in June after admitting she had “of course” used the N-word at one point in the past but not for “a very long time.”
The butter-loving kitchen queen made the confession during a deposition for a civil lawsuit filed in 2012 by a former restaurant employee, Lisa Jackson.
“I am about to go public with statements refuting your (client’s) statements about using the ‘N’ word in her business practices at Lady and Son’s,” Paculis wrote June 24, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday in federal court in Savannah, Ga.
