On Sunday we learned that Garbage has FINALLY announced the title of their new album (Not Your Kind of People) with the revamped relaunch of their official homepage at Garbage.com. Today we get to read a short interview that frontwoman Shirley Manson gave to The LA Times about the band’s upcoming new album, the final death of her solo album and her plans to LIVE LIFE to the FULLEST! It’s a short but very sweet interview … which you can read in full below.

The LA Times sat down with Madonna in her SoCal home just before the Golden Globes a couple of weekends ago to discuss her directorial debut film W.E., her new album M.D.N.A. and her upcoming LIVE performance for the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVI. Altho the entire interview is fascinating to read, I was really more interested in the music bits — most especially her revelation of a song on her album titled Beautiful Killer. Click below to read excerpts from Maddy‘s LA Times interview where she talks about M.D.N.A. and what little she can say about her much-anticipated Super Bowl halftime show next week.

Anne Hathaway, who will play Catwoman/Selina Kyle in the upcoming superhero sequel film Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, sat down with The Los Angeles Times to talk about the iconic comic book character she plays in the film and enlightens us a bit about her vision of the new Catwoman. The interview excerpts below provide some bit of spoilery info but nothing that will likely take away from the eventual enjoyment of The Dark Knight Rises, I think. It’s a very interesting and excellent read, check it out.

There is a tradition on Broadway where major news outlets choose not to officially review shows and plays until they officially open for business. But, because producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark pushed back their opening night from December, to January, to February to MARCH, news outlets like The New York Times and The LA Times have broken with tradition and published their reviews. Tired of waiting, these news outlets decided to finally chime in and offer their opinions of the show … and unfortch for Turn Off the Dark, neither newspaper had any good things to say about it.

We are just a few days away from the live telecast of the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards and that means that the folks putting together the show are in the final stretch of preparations for the big to do. As you should be well aware, Jimmy Fallon will be hosting the Emmys this year and he shared with the LA Times a bit of info about some of the preparations that he is doing for this Sunday night’s show:

The Emmy Awards may be less than a week away, but Jimmy Fallon has yet to lose his cool over hosting Sunday’s 62nd annual prime-time event. “We’re getting the final touches on the opening thing that we’re doing. It’s really fun,” Fallon told us … “I’m at the Nokia Theater all day long now, from now until the Emmys. Just getting ready. It’s a long process, a lot of rehearsals, stuff like that” … Fallon was disappointingly tight-lipped about what audiences can expect from this year’s telecast, saying only that a lot of our “favorite TV stars” will be “helping him out” during the show’s opening segment. He also would not reveal which nominees he was rooting for. But he did make one thing clear — the Emmys won’t share many similarities with his late night talk show. “There’s no Roots, sadly. The Roots didn’t come with me from New York. Kind of miss them,” he said, referring to his show’s band. “I think if it’s too much me, it takes away from the fun of the Emmys. My job as a host is to keep moving fast and to let the other people shine, the nominees. Make it a fun night for everybody.”

You know, I really love Jimmy Fallon. Not only is he always funny but he really strikes me as a really kind, really down to Earth guy. My friend Tony and I were at the live taping of America’s Got Talent last night to watch Kylie Minogue perform her new single Get Out Of My Way yesterday afternoon and Jimmy came out to do a short bit for the show as well. He was really funny, yes, but he was also very kind to the audience yesterday. I can’t wait to watch him host the Emmys this Sunday night. After the jump, check out a short video of Jimmy‘s impromptu interview with the LA Times …

Last December we learned that director Bryan Singer signed on to helm the next X-Men movie, a prequel to the franchise called X-Men: First Class. Today we get to check out a few excerpts from a new interview that Singer gave to The Los Angeles Times about the new project. Here is a photo of Singer with producing partner Lauren Shuler Donner and some of their LA Times interview:

Through the years, comic-book films took audiences to all the predictable places, including the grim streets of Gotham City and the doomed spires of planet Krypton, but, a decade ago, a new type of comic-book film had the audacity to set its opening sequence in a truly unexpected place — the gates of Auschwitz, where Jewish families were bring marched through mud on their way to death and despair. From those first moments, “X-Men” set itself apart from the entire Hollywood history of comic-book adaptations and marked the beginning of this current era of fanboy cinema, which has dominated the box office and elevated San Diego’s Comic-Con International into something resembling a Cannes for capes. “The opening, it really was a declaration of intent,” producer Lauren Shuler Donner said of that sequence, which showed a terrified young boy exhibiting mutant powers as his family was separated by German guards. “It said to the audience this is a serious film, grounded in the realistic and the historic and somewhat dark. It was so smart. And it was all totally Bryan.” That would be Bryan Singer, the director of “X-Men” and its first sequel, who was sitting next to Shuler Donner in her office on a recent afternoon. The pair both had big smiles on their faces — they had been reunited by an invitation to reminisce about the legacy of the July 2000 release, which they were happy to do, but the conversation kept veering into giddy plans for the future. Singer is returning to the “X-Men” universe, it’s clear now, for a project called “X-Men: First Class”; it’s all just a matter of timing. “I had lunch with Hugh Jackman today,” Singer said, and Shuler Donner, after asking for an off-the-record moment, pressed the 44-year-old filmmaker for details. A few minutes later, with the recorder back on, Singer said he is mightily enthused to work again with Shuler Donner, who has produced two X-films without him, the Brett Ratner-directed “X-Men: The Last Stand” in 2006 and the Gavin Hood-directed “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” in 2009. “I genuinely like the people, and my personality meshes more with this universe than it does with other universes, I think; I see that now at this point,” Singer said, no doubt referring to his defection to the DC Comics universe to make the oddly lifeless 2006 movie “Superman Returns.” “I feel a connection to the X-Men characters and also the ensemble nature of the films. If you look at ‘Usual Suspects” or my last film, ‘Valkyrie,’ I feel especially comfortable with ensemble juggling. In the space between all the characters you can disguise a central thought that’s hidden in all the discourse. I missed that with the singular relationship story of Superman. And, well, it always gives you something to cut to…”

This fairly extensive interview with the LA Times continues behind the cut. Read on to get a taste of what Singer has in store for X-Men fans in the upcoming prequel film First Class — after the jump …

LA Times photographer David Strick was granted access to the Vancouver, BC set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon and was able to snap some pretty fantastic photos. Here is but one of the fab photos Strick managed to snap of shirtless Twilight star Taylor Lautner for the LA Times‘ Hollywood Backlot … behold:

Oh, the squeals of delight are in the air again. “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” will be released on November 20, and tickets are selling quickly … way in advance! Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner return to the supernatural world of vampires and werewolves in this sequel to the uber popular “Twilight.” David Strick was on the set about 15-20 minutes outside of Vancouver as director Chris Weitz and the cast and crew shot scenes late at night, in a very chilly Capilano Park Forest, until at least 4 a.m.

Oh people … there is MUCH more where this came from. Not only was Strick able to snap more hawt photos of shirtless Lautner but he also managed to shoot a few cool-looking photos of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as well — but honesty, it’s the shirtless snaps that are the real draw. After the jump, check out a few more photos …

Nine Inch Nails played the last of 2 dates scheduled at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL last night which are said to be the last NIN concerts ever for that region of the country. The band has already made their way to Toronto, ON for a headlining performance at the Virgin Festival ’09 at the Molson Amphitheater tonight (the final international date for Nine Inch Nails) … but here is a shot taken by NIN photographer Rob Sheridan of the fans filing out of the Aragon Ballroom after last night’s performance:

Next up for Nine Inch Nails, the last 4 dates of the Wave Goodbye Tour which will all take place at different venues in Los Angeles, CA (The Palladium, The Henry Fonda Theatre, The Wiltern and Echoplex). Trent Reznor gave an interview to The Los Angeles Times about these final, final shows … here is a portion of that interview:

There was something about a Nine Inch Nails show in the daylight that just felt wrong. “Maybe,” Trent Reznor said in a sly murmur, “it was the fact that it wasn’t dark.” Reznor, the angst auteur behind Nine Inch Nails, toured this summer with Jane’s Addiction with every intention of retiring from the road. The plan, Reznor had said, was to put the band’s concert life on hiatus for a decade or so and to say farewell with a twist, as the opening act for the elder Jane’s latest reunion. But there was all that sunshine. “I chose for us to play first; I thought it would be a respectful thing for Jane’s and also be interesting for us to have the challenge of playing often and in daylight,” Reznor said. “But then, well, these were the last shows we were doing. We could pull off something better than that, something that leaves a better taste in our mouths.” That something is now the hottest ticket in town — four sold-out L.A. shows in the next eight days, all in venues that vary from small to tiny in comparison to the band’s usual arena settings. On Wednesday, it’s the refurbished Hollywood Palladium; the next night, it’s the Henry Fonda Theater. On Sept. 5, Nails will play the Wiltern Theatre and Sept. 6, the EchoPlex, the downstairs dance hall below the Echo club. The 44-year-old music star said the goal was “a very, very limited run of shows and that each would be special and more fan-orientated and not in cavernous arenas, but places where you actually like to see bands. It seemed like a way for fans to wish us off.”
