Here’s another selection that was screened at the Pan African Film Festival this year.
Directed by Darryl Pitts, the documentary Kiss And Tell recalls some of our favorite black couples in films.
Synopsis:
A poignant, thought-provoking film in which actors, directors and producers discuss movies that inspired them, what it takes to make a great love story and scenes that touched them emotionally. Actually two films in one, Kiss and Tell is entertaining, with stories told by people “in the know” but also a clear social critique of how and where we are going with Black cinematic images. Narrated by Sheryl Lee Ralph, with commentary by Nia Long, Diahann Carroll, Keenan Ivory Wayans and Roger Ebert among others.

We already announced this, but it's official now: Sony Pictures Classics will release Gus Van Sant's Restless in North America this fall. Columbia pulled the teen drama from the Sundance Premiere line-up at the last minute (it was literally the first film invited to the fest in August) in favor of sending it to Cannes. Given that Van Sant is a Croisette perennial, there's no way that Restless won't turn up there. Written by Jason Lew, the movie stars Jane Eyre's Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper (Kiss and Tell). The trailer is below. Although it was finished long ago, the director has been tinkering with the picture, which “looks and plays totally like an independent,” according to one source. Given that Spc co-presidents Michael Barker ...

In the middle of news frenzy about her series of dates with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez dropped an official teaser of her new single and music video. The Disney songstress gives only a brief glimpse to the clip - she seems to follow the "super-short snippet" trend set by Britney Spears.
Just a day prior, the "Kiss and Tell" singer teased lyrics of the song, "You've got every right to a beautiful life." The song will make its radio debut on March 10, have its Chris Applebaum-directed music video coming out the next day, and be made available for digital purchase three days later.
"Out of all the songs I've recorded, this one means the most to me. I dedicate it to all my Fans, Family," she told her Twitter followers. She recorded the song for her new album with The Scene which is yet to be titled. The CD...

It's a strangely huge day for birthdays in the music world, as it represents a turn of the calendar for idiosyncratic pop star Ke$ha (who is 24 today) as well as legendary Who frontman Roger Daltrey (he is now 67).

In honor of Bieber's big day, here are the 17 definitive songs in the Bieber catalog.

Selena Gomez continues her traveling in Europe to promote her new album "A Year Without Rain" with The Scene. She wore a mini cocktail dress with shiny embellishments and flat shoes as she belted out songs at Hammersmith Apollo in London, England on October 20.
After leaving the stage on that night, Gomez headed for a dinner with friends. For the occasion, the "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress traded her on-stage outfit with a stylish sparkling long black coat and trousers with matching color.
"A Year Without Rain" was released in United States on September 21 as a follow-up to 2009 "Kiss and Tell". Once the album was out, Gomez was busy on the promotional projects which included interviews and live performances.
And the hectic schedule might have made the singer, who was romantically linked to Nick Jonas, have no time for dating. "Unfortunately, I haven't been on a date in over six months,...

Selena Gomez can have any balloon animal she wants today, as she is celebrating her birthday. The actress and singer best known for her work on the Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverly Place" and the upcoming "Ramona and Beezus," turns 18 years old today. She has spent most of those 18 years working in the spotlight, as the Texas-born Gomez caught her first break when she was just seven years old. That was when she scored the role of Gianna on "Barney and Friends" for the show's seventh season. From there, she picked up more minor roles until she was discovered by the Disney Channel and placed in guest-starring roles on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "Hannah Montana." The latter turned into a regular gig, and that eventually lead to "Wizards of Waverly Place" as well as more and more movie roles.

My second favorite redhead in Hollywood (after Amy Adams of course) has just landed a new starring role a "high-concept" romantic comedy called Kiss And Tell. I'm slowly learning that “high-concept” means “super-powers” in the comedy genre, like the high-concept Invention Of Lying where Ricky Gervais lives in a world where only he can lie. So what’s the superpower here? Fisher will have the ability to see the entire future of a...

Wills is Open to Die Hard 5 and Unbreakable 2: In a pair of interview quotes Bruce Willis talks about the possibility of Unbreakable 2 and seems quite confident there will be a Die Hard 5.
As for Unbreakable 2 he says, "I talked to [M. Night Shyamalan] over the holidays, and he is still thinking about doing the fight movie between me and Sam [Jackson] that we were gonna do [with the first movie, but] we chose to do the origin." Willis says he's up for it if Jackson is.
The Die Hard 5 info sounds more probable (video to the right) with Willis saying explicitly, "I think we're going to do a Die Hard 5 next year." As the Die Hard story has expanded over the years, going from a skyscraper, to an airport, to New York City and finally to the whole of the United States in Live Free or Die Hard, Willis says the fifth one would go even further saying "it's got to go worldwide.

The very lovely Isla Fisher (Confessions Of A Shopaholic, Definitely Maybe) is going to star in a romantic comedy for Universal Pictures entitled Kiss And Tell.
Based on a pitch by Dax Shelby and Robert Stevens, who have no noteworthy credits to their name right now but have several projects in development, the film follows a woman who discovers she has the ability to see the exact length of a long-term relationship, and how it will unfold, when she kisses a man.
No director is attached yet, but Up In The Air co-writer Sheldon Turner will produce the film so that gives it some street cred. Shelby and Stevens' upcoming projects include Man Camp and Paths Of Glory at Sony, and Two Minutes To Midnight at Fox.

Today Nicola was relaxing in the snug when she heard a noise “Pssst! Nicola, it’s me the tree.” “Stay where you are. Don’t let anyone know your talking to the tree.”
Nicola was offered the chance of winning a message from home, if she agreed to play a game of Kiss and Tell.
Over the course of today, Nicola must take aside each housemate and tell them a home truth. Then give them a kiss…
As the tree said, “Just a peck, no tongues, I know what you Page 3 girls are like.”
If she succeeds she will get a message from home.
However, If Nicola betrays the tree, she will face the wrath of the tree of temptation.

Review: (4 stars out 5 stars)
On Sept. 29, Selena Gomez and The Scene (Ethan, Joey, Nick, and Greg) released their first album “Kiss and Tell” on Hollywood Records. With 13 tracks, including a remix of her popular song “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” (from the “Another Cinderella Story” soundtrack), the CD demonstrates Selena’s concerted effort to make a successful debut as a new recording artist.
With the “core” of the record shaped by Ted Bruner and contributions made by Isaac Hasson and the impressive John Fields, Gomez benefited greatly from the masterful work of the team behind much of Demi Lovato’s musical success.

You already knew Oprah Winfrey had the power to make any book she deems worthy a blockbuster, but the queen of all media is proving to be a musical kingmaker as well. A week after appearing on Winfrey's show, smooth crooner Michael Bublé will top the Billboard 200 charts with his latest, Crazy Love, on modest sales of 132,000.
Bublé managed to pull the feat off after pushing his album up from October 13 to an earlier, off-cycle Friday (October 9) release to coincide with the Winfrey appearance, dealing a harsh blow to legendary greasepaint rockers Kiss in the process. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees were looking like shoo-ins to land the first-ever #1 debut in their 30-plus-year career with the bargain-priced three-cd Wal-Mart exclusive Sonic Boom, but they will have to settle for #2 after moving just 108,000 copies.

Neither Mariah Carey nor Paramore rules Billboard Hot 200 this week as they have lost the hot spot to Barbra Streisand. "Love Is the Answer", the latest record from the singer with the most No. 1 albums, sold 180,000 copies. Meanwhile, Paramore's "Brand New Eyes" and Mariah's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" could only scan 175,000 and 168,000 units respectively.
With such number, Paramore sit at number two on the U.S. albums chart and Mariah follows at the third place. First week sale projection from Billboard actually had estimated either Paramore or Mariah could be crowned this week's champ, but both of them miss the spot. The final result is not quite a surprise as according to Hits Daily Double, Barbra had come to the second place between Paramore and Mariah per October 6.
Commenting on her achievement of scoring No. 1 on Hot 200, Barbra said, "I want to share that honor with all of you.

Paramore shouldn't feel too bad that they were just barely beat out for a #1 debut by one of pop's all-time classic divas while beating out a mega-selling modern one — and notching their best first week ever in the process.
Though the band's third album, Brand New Eyes, will bow at #2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week, after selling 175,000 copies, they can rest easy knowing that they were just a nose behind legend Barbra Streisand, whose album of jazz standards, Love Is the Answer, snagged the top spot with sales of 180,000. The feat, Babs' ninth #1 album, gives her at least one top debut in each of the past five decades.

Selena Gomez just released Kiss and Tell, her debut album with her band the Scene. The 17-year-old actress has already made a career for herself as the star of the hit Disney Channel series "The Wizards of Waverly Place" and now hopes to follow in the footsteps of fellow House of Mouse personalities Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and the ,a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jonas_brothers/artist.jhtml">Jonas Brothers into music stardom. Her album features writing assists from some top collaborators, but the most compelling track on the record is her cover of the excellent Fefe Dobson song "As a Blonde." When Gomez sat down with MTV News to discuss the album, she talked about how much she loves Dobson — and how much she always wanted to have a different hair color growing up.

Either Mariah Carey or Paramore will secure the top spot on Billboard Hot 200 next week, Billboard predicted. Mariah's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" and Paramore's "Brand New Eyes" could easily sell between 160,000 to 170,000 copies, according to the publication.
Should Mariah rule the U.S. albums chart, the album which arrived in U.S. stores on September 29 will become her seventh chart topper. Also, she will tie Madonna as the second female artist with the most No. 1 albums, just behind Barbra Streisand.
As for Paramore, this band will score their highest charting album and best week sale even if they miss the hot spot. The Hayley Williams-fronted band had their peak position at number 15 on Hot 200 when they came out with their sophomore set "Riot!" in 2007.
