Hugh Jackman Films ‘The Wolverine’ On The Streets of Parramatta
Australian actor Hugh Jackman is
currently busy filming some scenes for his latest movie “The Wolverine” on the streets
of Parramatta in Greater Western Sydney. Once more, Hugh Jackman reprises his
role as Wolverine while a Japanese actress named Tao Okamoto portrays the
character Mariko Yashida, the half-sister of the Silver Samurai. Onlookers has
described that the scene Jackman and Okamoto were filming looked like a rescue
scene of a damsel in distress.
According to News.com, the scene
being filmed involves Hugh Jackman and Tao Okamoto chased by a gunman where Jackman
has to carry the Japanese actress in his arms while running down the road. Okamoto
was safely attached to a harness which made it easier for Jackman to carry the
actress since numerous takes were required for that particular scene.
Buildings around the intersection
of the streets George and Smith are currently giving out a Japanese vibe of
bright colors and anime-styled pictures after being transformed into the city
of Tokyo for the set of the upcoming film “The Wolverine.” Meanwhile, Lord
Mayor John Chedid claimed that Parramatta is proud to be a part of a
blockbuster film.
''I’m
excited and proud Parramatta has been chosen as a stage for The Wolverine. It
reflects the city’s quickly growing appeal as a leading filming destination,
and having this high profile movie filmed here will only enhance this further,”
Mayor Chedid said.
''Parramatta
Council has been working to create a film-friendly environment in the city.
We’ve already had some success with production companies choosing to make
blockbusters like The Wolverine and TV shows including East West 101 and
Crownies in Parramatta. As well as generating jobs and investment, productions
like The Wolverine boost our tourism and visitor economy by raising the city’s
profile around the world,” the Mayor further added.
Even though
Parramatta state Liberal MP Geoff Lee was excited for the filming to start, he
felt that it would also give inconvenience to the people in the area to which Lee
apologized and asked for consideration. During filming of some scenes for “The
Wolverine” movie, George St. will be temporarily closed between Horwood Place
and Barrack Lane while Smith St. will also be temporarily closed between
Phillip and Macquarie streets.
“The Wolverine” is scheduled
to be released in 2013.

Kylie Minogue To Replace Keith Urban on ‘The Voice Australia’?
Australian singer Kylie Minogue
is rumored to be one of the music artists considered in replacing Keith Urban’s
judging chair on the reality TV show “The Voice Australia.” Even though Kylie
Minogue claimed that she is not aware of any offers from the Australian TV
show, the singer does not exactly rule out the consideration of becoming a
talent judge.
"Those
shows are going to keep happening every year for the foreseeable future. I'm a
fan of those shows. To my knowledge, no, I’m not doing The Voice next year. But
I don’t know what I’m doing next year,” Minogue revealed. "Unless my
management hasn’t told me about it I know nothing about it. It just hasn't felt
like the right thing for me to do yet. It may only be a matter of time, who
knows?” she further added.
Heraldsun.com reports Kylie
Minogue was initially offered one of the red chairs on the United Kingdom
version of “The Voice.” However, the spot was taken by English singer Jessie J.
There has been rumors circulating that BBC could not afford to pay enough money
to make Kylie Minogue become a judge on the show.
Kylie Minogue’s new album “The
Abbey Road Sessions” is scheduled for a release at the end of October. Then, at
the end of this year, the 44-year-old singer and her boyfriend Andres Velencoso
will head back to Australia for Sydney’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. Kylie
Minogue has an important role after being appointed as the creative ambassador
of the event.
Rihanna Officially Released New Album Title ‘Unapologetic’
Singer Rihanna has officially announced
that the title of her new album is “Unapologetic” and she even teased her fans
by posting on “Twitter” the upcoming album cover. The talented singer from
Barbados posed topless for the album cover with a number of words written such
as happy, fearless, chalice, diamonds, censored and love. Even Rihanna’s
Egyptian goddess Isis tattoo on her midriff is also visible.
“My NEW album 'UNAPOLOGETIC' will be
released on NOVEMBER 19th WORLDWIDE #Navy (sic),” Rihanna posted on her “Twitter”
account. Skynews.com reported some details about Rihanna’s upcoming seventh
album by claiming that “Unapologetic” will be produced by Ne-Yo, David Guetta,
Fazer and United Kingdom music producers Burns and Nicky Romero.
Meanwhile, Rihanna’s current single “Diamonds”
is at the number one spot on the United Kingdom singles chart. The hit single
was co-written by the “Titanium” singer Sia. “Diamonds” is believed to be one
of the tracks on the soon-to-be released album. However, the final list of
tracks has not yet been announced.
The album title apparently describes the
personal life of Rihanna. Recently, the singer has garnered numerous criticisms
with her reported reconciliation with former flame Chris Brown who violently
assaulted her back in 2009.
Last week, Rihanna was spotted with
Chris Brown at one of rapper Jay-Z’s homecoming concerts at Brooklyn’s Barclays
Centre. Contactmusic.com also reported that there were pictures of the reunited
couple dancing together in a New York City night spot. Afterwards, Rihanna and
Chris Brown headed back to the same hotel.
Perhaps Rihanna
decided to name her album “Unapologetic” because she clearly has no intention of
apologizing at all with regards to her relationship with Chris Brown.
Demi Lovato Says Niall Horan of ‘One Direction’ is Not Her Boyfriend
Singer and “X-Factor”
judge Demi Lovato denied reports that she and “One Direction” member Niall
Horan are loosely dating. Apparently, Demi Lovato wanted to correct her current
relationship status. With that, Niall Horan’s fans will be delighted to find
out that English boy band member is still single.
Contactmusic.com
reports Demi Lovato admitted that she has feelings for the “One Direction”
singer. “He knows I have a little crush on him and we enjoy having
dinner when we get the chance. We speak and message all the time. But I don't
want a relationship over Skype. We are both in a place where we feel zero
pressure to rush,” Lovato said. "He's a really awesome, sweet guy but
Niall's not my boyfriend. I'm in a place right now where I really need to focus
on myself. We share the philosophy that the right one is worth waiting for,”
Lovato further said as she described Niall Horan.
Even
though Demi Lovato slammed the dating rumors, it does not mean that the singer
is no longer interested having a romantic relationship. “Obviously, I'm still
going to like people or love them but I need to not be in a relationship for a
while because I need to be OK with being alone first,” Lovato revealed.
Back in 2010, the
20-year-old “X-Factor” judge
had to cancel her appearances on the Jonas Brothers tour because she went into
rehab to deal with her issues on depression and eating disorder. Now that she
is out of the treatment center, it just shows that Demi Lovato is back on track
to do better with her life and career. Rumor has it that Niall Horan is one of
Demi Lovato’s closest and trusted friends still included in her sorted out
circle of friends list.
Robert Pattinson Spotted Getting Cozy with A Mysterious Blonde Girl
Despite reports of a reconciled
relationship between Robert Pattinson and actress Kristen Stewart, the British
heartthrob was spotted getting cozy in the early hours of the morning by placing
his arm around a mysterious blonde girl at an exclusive night club in New York
City. Blurry photographs of the “Twilight” actor with his unknown female
companion were leaked online.
Ever since the embarrassing
cheating scandal, Robert Pattinson has kept a low-profile life by attending
pre-arranged events and press junkets. The actor has also awkwardly avoided
discussing the issue in every interview.
Mail Online reports that Robert
Pattinson, together with his friends Tom Sturridge and Sienna Miller, arrived
at the Electronic Room Bar inside the fashionable Dream Hotel in Manhattan at
around 1:30am. Then, the group stayed there for a couple more hours until the
26-year-old actor and the mysterious blonde girl were spotted having a deep
conversation at the club.
"He had his arm slung around
her at one point and they chatted for most of the night. They looked like they
were having a great time and the girl was making him laugh a lot,” a source
revealed according to Mail Online. "There
was about five of them but it looked like Robert only had eyes for the girl.
They sat really close to each other on the couch,” the source reportedly added.
Robert Pattinson and Tom Sturridge
had a few drinks at the IFC Film Dinner earlier that night where one witness
told US Weekly that Pattinson appeared to be in a really good mood. Meanwhile,
Kristen Stewart was reportedly in Hollywood spending some quality time with her
father, John, at a “Florence and the Machine” concert.
Reports are now
suggesting that the reconciliation rumors of Robert Pattinson and Kristen
Stewart is also a publicity stunt for the upcoming release of the “Twilight
Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2” this November.
