"I'm genuinely excited," director  Marc Webb  told me this week. "We finished the film about six weeks ago, and it's been such a long ride.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes calling it quits Her move may have taken Cruise very much by surprise, according to some observers. This was Cruise's third marriage. Oddly, all three marriages ended when each of his wives turned 33 years old.

MAXA /Landov "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump's former mansion caught fire on June 29 in Los Angeles, Calif. An over-the-top abode that belonged to one of Beverly Hills' highest-profile housewives has burned. Firefighters in Los Angeles battled a blaze Friday evening at the former home of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd, who reportedly sold the estate in September for nearly $20 million. The mansion, which was under renovation, can be seen in the Bravo reality show's opening credits. The former home of a 'Real Housewives' star was ablaze Friday night. (NBC 4) More than 100 firefighters from both Los Angeles and Beverly Hills attacked the flames, which burned through part of the roof and left one firefighter in serious but stable condition after a beam fell on his head.

Film: 'The Amazing Spider-Man'; Actors: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans; Director: Marc Webb; Rating: **1/2 A desperate battle for survival. How else does one describe 'The Amazing Spider-Man', the reboot of a franchise that began hardly a decade back and which, despite its best intentions has only regressed the original story? The familiar story of Spiderman's beginnings has undergone only cosmetic changes. His father is shown to have been working for Oscorp before he disappeared. His girlfriend is Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) who is his first love in the comic books and not Mary Jane and her father is a cop. Spiderman inadvertently creates the monster he later fights. And Peter Parker/Spiderman (Andrew Garfield) lets both his girlfriend and her father know his secret identity. It is hence fun finding out why this film was made. Here are six probable reasons: 1) Peter Parker in the original franchisee got married and it was time to send him back to s...

By Alo Ceballos, FilmMagic Snuggled up: A Tom Cruise-less Katie Holmes and Suri have been seen out and about numerous times this spring and summer. Paps caught them in New York on June 14. Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise , that is. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise? They were all but absent from public view, save for the occasional tight-smiled red carpet appearance (their last was at the Oscars in February). Holmes, it seems, was flying solo in this made-for- Oprah marriage â€" so it comes as little surprise to relationship experts that she filed for divorce from her h...

It’s always fun to look at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences' annual list of invitees and wonder: Really, him? But almost as enjoyable is looking at who’s been invited and asking why they weren't already in. And this year’s group of 176 offers some doozies. Topping the list is Andy Serkis . The actor who’s considered the leading practitioner of what's known as digitized acting has been a fan (and critical) favorite for years. His work as performance-capture creatures in “The Lord of the Rings,” “ King Kong” and “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” has prompted calls for the Oscars to widen the criteria for acting prizes. But Serkis isn’t in the academy. (Whether his invitation is evidence of a larger shift in thinking remains to be seen.) The list this year also includes some veterans who would have seemed like the card-carrying academy members of long ago: the Dardenne brothers (five Cannes prizes), Terrence Malick (three Oscar no...

If the 2012 class of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invitees seemed a tad more diverse than in past years, you weren't imagining things. Academy officials say 14% of the 176 new invitees are people of color, an increase over 2011, when the percentage was 10%. Among the African Americans invited were actresses Octavia Spencer, Kerry Washington, S. Epatha Merkerson; "Soul Food" producer Tracey Edmonds and “Think Like a Man” producer Will Packer; 77-year-old animator Floyd Norman; documentarian Sam Pollard; studio executive Michael Marshall; and director Kasi Lemmons ("Eve's Bayou").

LOS ANGELES â€" When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes first got together, he jumped on a couch, she gushed girlishly, and many of their fans said, "Huh?" Their split could cause just as much drama.

Ultimately, Cruise may have the most to lose. "There's no question this divorce is going to hurt his public image," said Dorie Clark, author of the forthcoming "Reinventing You: Define Your Brand, Imagine Your Future." "His brand was already tarnished significantly when he first got together with Holmes five years ago and was infamously jumping up and down on Oprah's couch, and shortly afterward the videos of him praising Scientology were leaked," she continued. "This divorce is another opportunity...
