Andrew Garfield wants Black-HispanicSpiderman


Andrew Garfield wants to replace Peter Parker with Miles Morales.
The 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' actor says it would be an "important move" for the web-yielding superhero to "pass on the torch" to his Black-Hispanic counterpart, who features as the alternate-reality hero in the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' comic book series after the death of Marvel's version of Parker.
He told Comic Book Resources: "Miles Morales was a huge moment in this character's comic book life. And I do believe that we can do that. It's something I'm really interested in figuring out; an eloquent way of co-existing, or passing on the torch. I don't have an answer, but I think it's actually a really important move. I think it's a really beautiful and important move."
Garfield claims the transition from Parker to Morales will make a natural ending for when he finally decides to retire from the role, following reports that Sony Pictures are planning to release a Spider-Man-related film every year.
He continued: "I want it to feel like a circle. I want the two ends to join, somehow. I don't know what that means, yet. I don't know what that means in terms of the quantity of Spider-Man movies I do. But I know that I don't particularly want to be a 40-year-old Spider-Man. I do know that time is fleeting."
The 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' is screening in UK cinemas now and will debut in the US on May 2.

Zach Braff splits from long-term girlfriend


Zach Braff has split from his girlfriend Taylor Bagley.
The 'Scrubs' star and the model called it quits earlier this month after five years of dating, according to the New York Post's Page Six column.
The couple parted ways shortly before the April 10 opening of Zach's Woody Allen-directed Broadway musical, 'Bullets Over Broadway'.
The actor's representative confirmed: "Zach and Taylor broke up over a month ago. They are continuing their friendship but are no longer a couple."
He is said to have ended things because he wasn't ready to settle down with the 6ft tall beauty, with a source telling the paper, "Taylor wanted to get married".
The 39-year-old star has reportedly been spotted making the most of his single status at New York City hotspots since their long-term relationship ended.
The couple's demise could also be related to Zach's intense rehearsal schedule for the show, which Taylor had initially encouraged him to take part in.
His rep added: "Zach has been attached to the [show] and involved with its development for over two years. He chose to do it because it has been a lifelong dream of his to be a part of a Broadway musical."

Chris Martin’s kids appear on album


Chris Martin included his children on Coldplay's new album to promote "togetherness" through challenging times.
The 37-year-old singer - who split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow last month after 10 years of marriage - says the personal theme of 'Ghost Stories' was reflected by the inclusion of vocals from Apple, nine, and Moses, eight, and he found their presence in the recording studio "powerful".
Speaking about the contribution of his children - who appear on different tracks - with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zayn Lowe, he revealed: "My daughter is singing in there a little bit too. It was the idea of togetherness through life's challenges.
"For me, the message is don't ever let go. For example we've had friends who have killed themselves or gone down the wrong road because they haven't had the right people around them. And that's really sad.
"But having my son in the studio with me is really powerful."
The 'Magic' singer - who has admitted his "own issues" contributed to the breakdown of his marriage - admits the album is full of messages of encouragement to himself.
He said: "I don't want to get too personal but that's just to me saying 'You're amazing, you've got to be amazing,' and I need to improve a bit.
"It's a new approach to life, because I had to change it."

Jennifer Lopez recorded Big Booty song for kids


Jennifer Lopez's children convinced her to record a song about curvy butts for her new album.
The 'I Luh Ya Papi' singer was struggling to decide whether to feature a track entitled 'Big Booty' on her eighth studio album - which is set for release in June - until her six-year-old twins, Emme and Max, stepped in to lend a helping hand.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last night (28.04.14), she said: "This song is a Diplo track. He's a really great producer and we were in the studio, you know, and this track comes up and everyone in the studio is like this is the type of song that J.Lo needs to do. And I'm like, 'Never in my life will I do a song called 'Big Booty' ever, it will never happen.'
"We end up writing the track. I take the (songs) to my car afterwards and try to live with it to see, like, which ones in the studio this week will I go and record afterwards. So I'm the car with my twins Max and Emme, who were five at the time. I'm listening to a bunch of songs and the minute they hear 'Big Booty' they were going crazy. I don't know if they thought they were saying a dirty word, if they felt naughty, but they loved this song and because they loved it I recorded it."
The 44-year-old star was confident to trust her kids' musical tastes, especially after noticing her son Max has a talent for recognising the biggest hits, comparing his ear for a tune with Grammy Award-winning producer Clive Davis.
J.Lo - who had the twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony - said: "My son has a very good ear. He could be the next Clive Davis. I know he has a good ear for music. We will be in the car listening to the radio and flipping through channels and all of a sudden he'll be like go back. Right away he can pick on a first listen, only the big, big smashes."

Billy Joel ‘sickened’ by heroin experience


Billy Joel was left "drooling" when he tried heroin.
The 64-year-old star has admitted that he once tried the illicit drug while visiting Holland but vowed to never take it again after the experience left him "drooling" and feeling "sick".
Speaking at Howard Stern's 'Town Hall' event at New York's Cutting Room club yesterday (29.04.14), he said: "This was back in the late '70s I think. We were in Amsterdam, and there was all this stuff going on, so I said, 'Let me see what this is like.'
"It got me so high, I don't know how to deal with it. You just get way out, just go to another place, and you're into the blues. All you want to hear is the blues. You start drooling, and you get sick."
The 'Piano Man' hitmaker confessed however, that despite not enjoying his experience of the drug, it did inspire the lyrics behind his track 'Scandinavian Skies', which featured on his album 'The Nylon Curtain' and mentions the "sins of Amsterdam" and the feeling of being left "paralysed".
Billy - whose daughter Alexa Ray Joel is now a successful musician in her own right - also admitted he has no plans to work on any new material.
He said: "Everybody has a hard time understanding that, 'Why don't you write new songs?'
"Elton [John] would say that to me, 'Why don't you make another album?' And I used to say to him, 'Why don't you make less albums?' "
