The latest casting news rumor to come from the upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon claims that Madonna will be associated with the film in some way. It is being reported that Maddy‘s manager Guy Oseary is producing the film, due out in November, and has reportedly informed E!‘s Ryan Seacrest that Madonna will be involved with the film in some way … she could either appear on the soundtrack with a new song OR appear in the film as a character — or both:

Could Madonna’s next move be to shock tweens all over the world? CinemaBlend posted a rumor today that the age-defying sex icon is interested in working on the Twilight sequel, New Moon. We think that Madonna as a vampire could be sexy, but could also gives us nightmares. Just look at those arms—she could easily devour any victim with her bare bones. Looks like another reason for this ’80s-but-still-rocking star to fuel a new awe factor into a generation she has yet to infiltrate. Parents beware!

Personally, I ain’t buyin’ it … but if Oseary really is producing the film, then he absolutely could involve Madonna in whatever way he sees fit. Truth be told, I could see Madonna pop up in a cameo role capacity … even if she does appear in the film (which I still feel is highly unlikely), it wouldn’t be in any high profile capacity. A song on the soundtrack is more likely. My guess is that we’ll find out if this rumor is true or not sooner rather than later. But what do y’all think … good idea or does it just plain suck?

Trent Reznor updated the official Nine Inch Nails website late yesterday and posted a heartfelt message to fans about his future plans for Nine Inch Nails. As he mentioned in my interview with him last December, this new message confirms that after NIN completes their next round of tourdates, TR will be taking a break from making music “for a while” — essentially putting Nine Inch Nails on hold for an undetermined time. While this reiteration of Reznor‘s plans is a bit sad, there is a silver lining … new shows to come in ’09, with the amazing Jane’s Addiction to tour in support. Here is the full text of Trent Reznor‘s latest message posted on NIN.com:

2.16.09: A note from Trent and a wave goodbye

Towards the beginning of my career in Nine Inch Nails, our biggest break came in the form of an invitation to perform a series of shows with Jane’s Addiction. These performances essentially created and defined the term “alternative” rock in the US, created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for Nirvana to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really fucking FUN to play and attend – truly the best times I’ve had. The shows were epic. So epic, they propelled NIN to the “next level” (whatever that means), but caused Jane’s to implode. The band broke up at the end of that tour.

Fast forward to the present. Corporate rock STILL sucks. A friend tells me they saw the original Jane’s lineup play a tiny show in LA that was unbelievable. I break out my Jane’s records and am amazed by how vital they sound. These guys were the real deal and in this current climate mostly dominated by poseurs and pussies it was refreshing to hear something that sounded dangerous, volatile, beautiful and SINCERE.
Emails were sent, phone calls were made, dinner was arranged, ideas were discussed and the next thing I know we’re in the studio experimenting. We laugh, we get to know each other, we cry, we yell, we almost quit, we record LOTS of guitar solos, we discuss, we actually begin to all communicate, we yell some more, we become FRIENDS, we laugh again and we do some great things. I get to see first hand why they broke up all those years ago but I also get the chance to see four distinct personalities that become an INCREDIBLE band when they’re in the same room.

In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I’ve been thinking for some time now it’s time to make NIN disappear for a while. Last year’s “Lights in the Sky” tour was something I’m quite proud of and seems like the culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production. It was also quite difficult to pull off technically and physically night after night and left us all a bit dazed. After some thought, we decided to book a last run of shows across the globe this year. The approach to these shows is quite different from last year – much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted. Fun for us and a different way for you to see us and wave goodbye. I reached out to Jane’s to see if they’d want to join us across the US and we all felt it could be a great thing. Will it work? Will it resonate in the marketplace? Who knows. Is there big record label marketing dollars to convince you to attend? Nope. Does it feel right to us and does it seem like it will be fun for us and you? Yes it does. Look for tour dates soon and I hope to see you out there.

Trent

This new message to fans is very bittersweet … while we already knew that TR was thinkin’ about puttin’ NIN on hiatus in the very near future, the echoes of finality in this message are still very difficult to process for longtime fans. On the other hand, we have a slew of tourdates to look forward to in the coming months and the news that NIN will be touring with Jane’s Addiciton is just … wow! While the news is sad, we knew it was coming … and what a great way for Nine Inch Nails to come full circle, 20 years after they got started. While there is a tinge of sadness in this message, I choose to look at the positive … it says to me that I should enjoy the upcoming NIN shows while I can — and I plan to. I will do my best to see as many NIN shows as I can once the dates are announced.

My gut tells me that this isn’t the end end. Trent has a lot of other things that he still has to accomplish … but music is in his blood, in his soul. I honestly believe there will be more NIN in future. It may be a long ways off but … I think it’ll come. In the meantime, I’m gonna revel in and enjoy what’s available. The end may be nigh but it’s not here just yet. I’m not mourning anything at this point in the game. We still have live NIN to look forward to … and I can’t wait!

The second of three 1-minute promo videos for the upcoming film X-Men Origins: Wolverine aired on FOX last night after the first one, titled Outcasts, aired on Sunday night. Here are a few screencaps from last night’s promo video titled Brothers:

In this video, we see how the relationship between James Logan (Wolverine) and his arch villain Victor Creed (Sabretooth) got started … as is usually the case in comic book lore, once best friends become bitter enemies and arch nemeses … as is the case for Wolverine and Sabretooth. After the jump, check out this second 1-minute promo vid for X-Men Origins: Wolverine in full, in case you missed watching it on TV last night …

Sad news to pass along to all y’all HaLo fans … US Weekly is reporting that Heroes co-stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have decided to end their romantic involvement with one another. They’re dunzo, y’all!

Heroes costars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have called it quits, Usmagazine.com has learned. “It was a lifestyle conflict,” a source close to the couple tells Us, adding that the split happened within the last week. “They were in very different places.” Adds the insider, “They are still on friendly terms. There are no hard feelings.” The source tells Us that Panettiere, 19, “is young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that’s not his style.” Ventimiglia, 31, “has been concentrating on work on his production company [Divide Pictures],” the source adds. The two, who began dating in 2008, had been an open secret for months – in part because of their 12-year age gap.

Boo! This is sad news … I really thought that HaLo really made a supercute couple. Despite the age difference, they always looked so happy to be with one another … I’m bummed they’re dunzo. I wonder if that rumor that Hayden was spied making out with Jesse McCartney had anything to do with the break-up. I hope that the make-out session happened after the couple decided to call it quits — and wasn’t the cause of the split. I’m glad to know that the pair have decided to remain friends. It’s still a bit sad that they couldn’t make it work :(
