Movie Review: Hercules

Finally the Rock has come back to corny action movies. He’s picked up the mythological action-movie gauntlet where he left it with The Scorpion King. But Dwayne Johnson's return to the loincloth bearing duties is far from his best. Hercules is too formulaic, too seeped in mythology clichés. It feels like we’re watching updated reruns of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan movies, minus the B-movie monster suits. It all used to be fun at one point and then we grew up to the likes of Peter Jackson and Gore Verbinski. So in director Brett Ratner’s 2014 reiteration of the age old Greek saga we have a very Samoan looking lead man play a chap rampaging through Greece as the mighty Hercules, son of Zeus. Sinbad would’ve been acceptable but The Rock playing Hercules is pushing suspension of disbelief a bit too far. If you can look past the cultural disparity you'll find a run of the mill, the-world-needs-a-hero escapade. A fellow and his gang of merry men (and one very pretty Amazonian...

Rihanna over her talons

Rihanna is opting for a more natural style now that she's not on tour, and has started the laid back look on her nails. The Diamonds singer is often photographed sporting extra-long talons, painted in a variety of colours. But the Barbados-born singer is ready to go back to the natural look when it comes to her fingers. "I have had these long nails for a year straight on tour and I'm over it. I'm over the extended acrylic - I want something simple, no fancy colours. I'm sticking with nudes and reds right now on shorter, but not super-short, almond nails," she revealed to British magazine Glamour. The star spoke candidly about her beauty regime, and says it's not as complex as people may think. Although she often wears heavy make-up for the stage, 25-year-old Rihanna says getting it off is a breeze. "My skincare routine is so simple. I just use wipes to take all my make-up off and that's it. But when your skin gets tacky, you're ...

Paul Walker's teenage daughter named sole beneficiary of late actor's $25 million estate

Paul Walker's teenage daughter is the sole beneficiary of the actor's estate, which is valued at an estimated $25 million, court records show. The star's final will and testament was filed Jan. 28 in Santa Barbara and calls for his father to serve as executor of the estate and for his mother to serve as guardian of the actor's 15-year-old daughter. The will was prepared and signed in 2001, the same year Walker starred in the first "Fast & Furious" film that launched the successful film franchise and will continue generating millions for the actor's estate. Walker, 40, died Nov. 30 in a fiery car crash in Los Angeles County. He was a passenger in a specialty Porsche driven by friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas that burst into flames after colliding with a light pole and tree. A coroner's report said investigators found no mechanical problems with the Porsche, which may have been going 100 mph or more before it crashed. Much of the...

My Little Princess': Justin Bieber Poses For Selfie With Adorable Little Sister Amid Vandalism AllegationsThe 'Baby' singer is accused of egging a neighbours house

Justin Bieber paints an innocent picture posing alongside his cute younger sister Jazmyn in the latest selfie posted on his Instagram perhaps in an attempt to brush aside his bad boy image which has been refuelled following claims that he vandalised a neighbour's house. The 'All That Matters' singer has been spending an increasing amount of time with his family since the Christmas holidays and it looks as though he's been playing dress-up with his sister Jazmyn judging by the latest snap on his Instagram which shows the adorable youngster wearing a bright orange wig while beaming broadly. Clearly the doting brother, Justin, 19, can be seen gently holding her around the shoulders while staring into the camera. As if the picture alone wasn't cute enough, Justin wrote the caption: “Me and my little princess.” The photo was posted early this morning just as allegations emerged accusing Justin of pelting eggs at a neighbour's house yesterday evening. TMZ cla...
