Fiery redhead Amy Adams is ready to add a touch of awards season class to Zack Snyder's Superman. With his imaginative action-adventure flick Sucker Punch coming in second at the box office this past weekend (behind Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules), the director phoned the three-time Oscar nominee from Paris to let her know she'd been chosen to play Lois Lane in his upcoming Man of Steel reboot.
Los Angeles Times got the first scoop on Snyder's reasoning behind choosing Adams to play one of the most iconic love interests in superhero history. "It goes back to what I've said about Superman and making him really understandable for today," said Snyder. "What's important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today's audience so that we understand the decisions he makes.
Adams joins an ecclectic cast that includes Henry Cavill (The Tudors) as Clark Kent/Superman, as well as Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Kent's adoptive parents here on Earth. The hunt is still on to fill the bad guy roles, now rumored to be the trio of General Zod, first lady Ursa, and guerilla grunt Non, who last battled the Kryptonian crimefighter on the big screen in Richard Lester's Superman II. Edgar Ramirez (Carlos) and Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire) are rumored for those roles as of now.
Snyder's film is due in theaters in December 2012.

Is there an idol who could match SNSD members’ beautiful legs? On Cable Channel SBS E!TV’s Entertainment information program ‘StarQ10′, the beautiful leg idols terminator will be revealed. Trainer Choi Sungjoon who is known for his fitness guidebook ‘Mackerel Coach’ will reveal the idol with the most beautiful legs (according to the trainer).
Body figure is essential to stars. Slender and slim figure seem to be the mandatory requirements for girl groups. SNSD members are not only known for their amazingly beautiful legs but they also have the best body lines among the girl groups in Korea.
However, according to trainer Choi Sungjoon, a new idol that could match them has arrived. He then dropped a curious hint saying, “The new idol who is the ‘beautiful legs terminator’ could match SNSD, the girl group under the management of SM Entertainment”. The identity of the so called ‘beautiful legs terminator’ will be revealed on March 30th at 7.30pm KST on StarQ10.
First, a few facts: Born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., the 28-year-old rapper now known as Lil Wayne-or sometimes Weezy-grew up a straight-A student in a neighborhood called Hollygrove in New Orleans's 17th Ward, which was among the hardest hit areas of the city during the flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Young Dwayne, soon to be Wayne, began his career as a near-novelty act, parlaying his love of late-'80s and early-'90s hip-hop and rap-tinged R&B into a career as a kiddie gangsta rapper, signing with the cult-legendary local hip-hop label Cash Money Records as one half of a duo known as The B.G.'z (the other half was a kid named B.G.) when he was 12-the same age he accidentally shot himself in the chest with a handgun, reportedly missing his heart by just a centimeter. But even that didn't slow him down. He soon joined another Cash Money act, The Hot Boys-which featured Juvenile, a local rapper who was already making a name for himself as a solo artist-and enjoyed his first taste of pop stardom when the quartet's 1999 album, Guerrilla Warfare, debuted at number five on the Billboard charts.
Having flooded the market with an almost nonstop flow of releases-some official, some on mixtapes, some as a guest rapper on other people's tracks (he now commands a reported $150,000 an appearance)-Wayne finally established himself as a solo megaforce in 2004 with the release of the Tha Carter, which unveiled to the world the Wayne we all know today: a spastically flowed force of hip-hop nature whose subject matter ranges from the blingtastic to the bizarrely psychedelic, and whose asymmetrical rhymes, delivered in a raspy, Auto-Tuned croak, have since appeared on dozens of hit singles and earned him four Grammy Awards and millions of dollars. Wayne's 2008 album, Tha Carter III, sold more than a million copies in its first week, and while he hasn't replicated that level of success since, he hasn't stopped trying. His own label, Young Money Entertainment, prodigiously counts new heavies such as Drake and Nicki Minaj among its recent discoveries, and, this spring, the label will release Wayne's highly anticipated ninth album, Tha Carter IV.
Though Wayne stands just five-foot-six in sneakers, he is a towering force in pop music right now-and, like Sinatra, he likes to do things his way. While he has often called himself "the best rapper alive," a claim many might dispute on purely technical grounds, Wayne is without a doubt one of the most prolific, weirdest, and hardest-working rappers in the game right now. A father of four, he managed to have two children in 2009 by two different women (singer Nivea Hamilton and actress Lauren London) within a 12-week period. He says he has given up the Styrofoam cup of cough syrup he could be seen constantly sipping from in the 2009 documentary Tha Carter. In any event, it would seem he had no choice but to give up such pastimes cold turkey, at least temporarily, when last year he served an eight-month prison term at Rikers Island in New York for attempted criminal possession of a weapon. (If anyone ever doubted his relentless creative restlessness, just before heading to jail he released Rebirth, a rock album.)
By outward appearances, Lil Wayne might not seem to embody the life of a typical religious person, but he is, in many ways, a walking miracle. He has the word fear tattooed on one eyelid and god on the other, but if you blink, you might miss that, since he doesn't seem to close his eyes often, much less sleep. Keeping it real? That's so last year. Wayne's doing something better by keeping the world of pop music unpredictable with his intergalactic alien oddness, and, if nothing else, he has made it a far more interesting and strange place.
Appropriately, when it came time to interview Wayne, we turned to another iconoclast of sorts, Paris Hilton-who, like Wayne, loves music and clubs and has done hard time (in 2007, for violating her probation in connection with an earlier no-contest plea on a reckless driving charge)-to do the honors. Hilton took a break from filming her new reality show, The World According to Paris, in Los Angeles to connect over the phone with Wayne, who was at home in Miami, with a little help from Interview contributing music editor Dimitri Ehrlich.
Drake on first meeting Lil Wayne: The first meeting wasn't really anything pivotal. It was cool. I think he saw that I was a good kid, or trying to be a good kid, and I was just staring at one of my idols. I stayed on the road with him for a while, about a week and a half. And I think it was the last night before I went back home, we finally got into the studio and made some music.
Nicki Minaj on life without Wayne's mentorship: I don't ever want to imagine that. I can't even imagine my career, um, my creative spirit without Wayne. I credit him with a lot of what I do. Prior to him, no one relevant in hip-hop really gave me that support. I feel like I'm still intertwined with him creatively. Before I met Wayne, the person that was spearheading my career was the one person who always told me, "Don't be too playful, don't be too kooky and weird... no one's gonna feel that, nobody wants to hear that." So I stifled a lot of that early on, and then once that we parted ways, I was like, "Guess what, I'm gonna just be me." Read also via complex.com

I need to know whether the new budget has been announced!!! OK did the government increased the price of soap? Is a bar of soap very expensive these day?
Why I want to know? The girl who sits next to me in the office do not know what is hygiene, she comes to work with a bad unbearablestench!!! This is a daily basis problem as I have to bear with this for about 8 hours a day & 5 days a week for past 2 months.
How bad is the stench from her? Her stench will make u feel a garbage truck is an opened bottle of Ralph Lauren perfume.
Current solution: I borrow & use my lunchmate Z's perfume i.e. Adidas Fruity Rhythm Perfume By Adidas For Women daily. I rather smell like a girl than infected with the stench few hours!!! Ladies trust me on this, Adidas Fruity Rhythm Perfume By Adidas For Women really smells good.
Nike dropped this week the sneaker in yet another colorway. The Sky Force 88 Vintage comes in white/varsity royal. As with all vintage sneakers by Nike, they added a bit of a worn in effect on the mid-sole.
