The tale of the adorable red headed orphan, Annie, is finally getting a facelift and after months of casting news, the Shaun ‘Jay-z’ Carter produced remake has started filming in New York City.
Originally, the iconic role of Annie was set aside for Willow Smith, but for whatever reason she decided against it. Rumor has it that the project took a while longer than expected to be green-lit, at which time she was too old. The role is now comfortably in the hands of Oscar nominated Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild).
Wallis is joined by an A-list cast. Jamie Foxx will star as Benjamin Stacks, a variation of Daddy Warbucks who was played by Albert Finney in the original film. Cameron Diaz is taking on the role of Miss Hannigan, the cruel woman who runs the orphanage where Annie lives before being adopted. Stacks’ assistant Grace will be...

Andy Murray - The Man Behind the Racquet seemed to be part of the ongoing drive to reframe Murray, from number two-seeded, Us Open-winning, sulky-drawers face-ache, to someone, well, nicer, or at least more marketable.
Presented by Sue Barker in the wistful preoccupied way of a woman who finds it hard to forget how fine Jimmy Connors once looked in his tight white shorts, it wasn't entirely unconvincing. Though I'm still not persuaded that crying because you've lost a Wimbledon final means you're any "nicer" than you were before you became publicly emotionally incontinent. Nor am I convinced that...

Work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith has claimed that Britain's celebrity culture fuelled the summer riots. Duncan Smith, who is chair of the social justice cabinet committee, told The Guardian that our society's "get rich quick" attitude was partly to blame for the unrest experienced in UK cities in August. "If you look at the footballers, you look at our celebrity culture, we seem to be saying, 'This is the way you want to be'. We seem to be a society that celebrates all the wrong people," he said. "Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is The X Factor. Luck is great, but most of life is hard work. We do not celebrate people who have made success out of (more)...
