<p>We all know and love the cast of <strong>Entourage</strong>, being one of the most famous hit television series from 2004 &#8211; 2011. Audiences around the globe were devastated when the series ended. BUT fear not, all you <strong>Entourage</strong> bestfans! <em>Warner Bros. </em> has officially given the green light to do a major motion picture of the renown <i>HBO </i> show.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not only is <strong>Entourage</strong> a show known for its witty lines, realistic feel, and plot twists &#8211; it&#8217;s also famous because of the star-studded [and studly] cast. <strong>Adrian Grenier, </strong>one of our favourite real-life Hollywood stars, plays a famous character, &#8220;Vincent Chase&#8221;, in the show too! We also love <strong>Kevin Connolly&#8217;s </strong>sidekick character, &#8220;Eric Murphy&#8221;, and <strong>Jerry Ferrara&#8217;s </strong>quirky role as &#8220;Salvatore &#8216;Turtle&#8217; Assante.&#8221; Deals are currently in the works to bring back these 3 major names for the movie cast as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other major names associated with the<b> Entourage </b>cast are <strong>Kevin Dillon </strong>and <strong>Jeremy Piven</strong>, who we hope to also see on the big-screen! Not only are there some major names in front of the camera, but behind the scenes as well. Series creator <strong>Doug Ellin</strong> is set to direct the movie based on a screenplay he wrote with the help of executive producer <strong>Mark Wahlberg</strong>. I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but we are DEFINITELY excited to see what&#8217;s in store for the movie!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The album &#8220;Believe Acoustic&#8221; marks 6 years of YouTube for Canadian recording artist, <b>Justin Bieber</b>. Currently, the YouTube channel has just under 2 million subscribers and over 455 million video views which he has racked over the past six years. This is the third remixed album which includes three brand new songs that were not on the &#8220;Believe&#8221; album released in June 2012. This album is able to give fans a chance to hear from <b>Bieber</b> himself what is going on in his life, rather than from what all the rumours tell us about him.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He tweeted on January 9 about how he &#8220;put it in the music&#8221;, and in fact, after listening to his album several times, he speaks for himself. These three new songs were recently written and are personal, something different we&#8217;re hearing of <b>Justin Bieber</b>. Not only was he currently on his tour, but he was also focused on writing songs for this album in the studio&#8230; Quite the multi-tasker!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Originally, the track list only had eight songs. But he then added more because he felt that 8 wasn&#8217;t enough, and of course, he stuck to his words. Unlike his most mature record and platinum release, <i>Believe</i>, this album includes no other artists, as the eleven tracks on the album are just Justin and his crisp acoustic guitar (just like how he got his start).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I felt it was necessary to ask some fans from Twitter about how they liked the three brand new songs. Of course, the beliebers heard the songs before the album came out. I found three fans who have preordered <i>Believe Acoustic</i> and also are planning/attending buyouts in their areas.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A fan from New Jersey, <a href="http://twitter.com/kaylacoughlan">@kaylacoughlan</a> expressed the top three things she loved about &#8220;Nothing Like Us&#8221;: &#8220;The top three things I loved were the lyrics, the acoustic sound, and the rawness in his voice. The lyrics very obviously came from a part of Justin that we don&#8217;t get to see often. The sound of the acoustics just emphasized the pureness of voice and the emotion in the words. The way his voice sounded, it was obvious that he was very emotional while recording this song. The song can definitely relate to me since I&#8217;ve just recently gone through a bad breakup. The lyrics put words to absolutely everything I was feeling at the time and I broke down in tears. It&#8217;s probably the most beautiful song Justin has ever written.&#8221;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>A San Diego fan <a href="http://twitter.com/eboneyxo">@eboneyxo</a> heard &#8220;I Would&#8221; for the first time and could easily describe it in two words &#8211; pure perfection: &#8220;The beat. The lyrics. His vocals… The songs message give us just a little insight into Justin&#8217;s life. Helps you understand him just a little more &amp; remind you that he is a normal person too.&#8221;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another fan from Toronto, who has been a Belieber since day one, gave her reactions of the song &#8220;Yellow Raincoat&#8221;. She runs one of the biggest Bieber fan accounts on Twitter with over 404,000 followers, <a href="http://twitter.com/belieberbabes">@belieberbabes</a>: &#8220;When Justin sings his songs acoustically, it’s one of my favourite things to listen to and watch. It shows his raw talent, beneath all the choreography and production that you may see on tour. I can definitely picture Justin jamming out to “Yellow Raincoat,” with just a guitar, belting the lyrics from his heart. Some people are saying, “I&#8217;ll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat/ Baby it&#8217;s keeping me dry/ I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat/ You know exactly why,” is protecting him from the fame, and the money, and the girls. I love how Justin is always very open and honest with us, especially through his music.&#8221;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Personally, I find it amazing how a song can relate to a fan and have so much meaning to them in their own lives. The way <b>Justin Bieber</b> can be open with his fans is something special, something that not many artists are able to do. This album is one that I find truly honest and it will definitely stay on repeat. Reactions of fans have been extremely positive over the new album and it is expected to debut at number 1. Kudos to you <b>Justin</b>!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This Saturday, February 2nd, three Toronto fans including myself, and two of my friends, <a href="http://twitter.com/nicolecampea">@nicolecampea</a> and @belieberbabes, have planned a Toronto buyout for Believe Acoustic. A buyout is when fans go to a store and clear the shelves of a new album! Fans will have the chance to not only buy themselves an album, but also as many as they would like to donate. The CD’s will be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital. This is something we thought would make a difference and we could support our artist at the same time. For more information about the buyout visit: <a href="http://torontobelieveacousticbuyout.splashthat.com/">http://torontobelieveacousticbuyout.splashthat.com/</a> <b>Justin</b> and his crew are also aware of the buyout and have helped spread the word to many Toronto fans.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the fifth season of <em>Parks and Recreaction</em> premiering tonight (!!!!) Thursday September 20th, why not check out a couple of sneak peaks that <em>NBC</em> has been teasing us with for a look at what&#8217;s in store for us!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>SNL&#8217;s</em> <strong>Amy Poehler</strong> heads this seriously hilarious show &#8211; which is worth a watch even if you&#8217;re not caught up with the past four seasons (although I <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>highly</strong></span> recommend checking out what you&#8217;ve missed out on if this is the case) &#8211; so you know it&#8217;s got to be good.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The fifth season starts tonight at 9:30 on <em>NBC</em>!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quebecoise songstress <strong>Celine Dion</strong> told <em>Vegas </em>magazine this week that she has nothing but praise for <strong>Adele, </strong>not only for her talent in performing and writing, but also for showing female performers that they don&#8217;t have to be skinny to be successful.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I love literally everything about her. I love her extreme talent. I love her writing. Her songs come from the soul. She&#8217;s incredibly beautiful. I think it&#8217;s very refreshing to see, and don&#8217;t get me wrong when I say this, somebody who is not looking extremely anorexic. I know for a fact, as much as you do, that the music industry makes kids get sick.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Dion</strong> adds, &#8220;She is going to help us, she&#8217;s going to help the world. It&#8217;s going to be bad when I meet her. I&#8217;m going to give her the biggest hug. I&#8217;m not kidding.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Selena Gomez</strong> will be featured on the cover of September issue of <em>Teen Vogue. </em>Looking stunning like always, <strong>Selena</strong> posed for the camera, showing off her natural beauty. <strong>Selena</strong> talks about her career as a musician and actress as well as her transition into more adult roles after starring on Disney Channel’s <em>Wizards of Waverly Place</em> for 4 years.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This past year Selena filmed three movies: <em>Spring Breakers, The Getaway</em> and <em>Hotel Transylvania. </em>She calls 2012 the year of movies. This is quite an exciting time in her career, but Selena also expressed it is quite frustrating because she wants the roles that no one expected her to have or thought of her to take.  She says, “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I’m super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously. I don’t necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Selena discussed her next album and says that it is going to be different, as she&#8217;s older and more grown up, but she promises it will still be really fun. She stated how she would love to collaborate with <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong> as she loves his music so much! <strong>Selena</strong> also has her own clothing line <em>Dream Out Loud</em><strong> </strong>which is sold at Kohls.  “I love doing it, and I’m super proud of it.” Selena says. She doesn&#8217;t like to spend a lot of money on her own clothes! “I get sent things that are really nice, and I’m like, ‘This is cute,’ and I look at the tag and it’s $200,” she says. “I’m like, Oh my gosh, people probably think I buy it, and I don’t. It’s really weird.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Selena also shared something about her relationship with the <strong>Biebs</strong>! “It’s really fun. I’m lucky. I’m 20. I don’t take anything in my personal life  too seriously. I have great friends and a solid group of people I love. I feel  like everything else will come organically.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>While showing off her natural beauty, Selena opened up about her budding career and how she plans to continue her transition into more adult roles after starring on Disney Channel’s <em>Wizards of Waverly Place</em> for 4 years.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Selena called 2012 the year of movies – she’s already filmed three movies this year including the rebellious <em>Spring Breakers</em>, an action movie <em>The Getaway</em> and an animated film <em>Hotel Transylvania</em>. Selena is still searching for more mature roles which will help her progress into adulthood.</p>
