UK Police Chief Says Culture At Murdochs Sun Led To Illegal Payments

The new Sunday edition of Rupert Murdochs Sun newspaper sold 3.26 million copies when it debuted in the UK yesterday, according to the News Corp chiefs Twitter feed. Yet the most interesting new development involving the tabloid is a charge today that came from Sue Akers, the deputy police commissioner overseeing investigations into alleged illegal practices by journalists. Akers told the Leveson Inquiry into UK media ethics that there “appears to have been a culture at The Sun of illegal payments” to police officers as well as members of the military, the government and other public organizations. (The Sun is controlled by the News Corp-owned News International.) According to The Guardian, Akers suggested there was a network of corrupted officials that journalists at The Sun could call upon and that one official received more than $126,500(80,000) over several years. Following Akers testimony, Murdoch gave the following statement: “She said the evidence suggested such payments were authorised by senior staff at The Sun. As I’ve made very clear, we have vowed to do everything we can to get to the bottom of prior wrongdoings in order to set us on the right path for the future. That process is well under way. The practices Sue Akers described at the Leveson inquiry are ones of the past, and no longer exist at The Sun. We have already emerged a stronger company.” In related news, a News International email read at the inquiry suggests that Scotland Yard warned officials at Murdoch-owned papers as far back as 2006 that phone hacking had taken place at the News Of The World — but was limited to one reporter, royals editor Clive Goodman.The information came in an email seen by Andy Coulson, who at the time edited the tabloid, and Rebbekah Brooks, who then ran The Sun.Separately, it was disclosed that singer Charlotte Church will receive $950,000 (600,000) from News International following last week’s settlement of her phone-hacking suit against the company. It was disclosed that private detective Glenn Mulcaire, who worked for NOTW,had the U.S. phone numbers of her agent and publicist among his notes. The presence of those numbers could make it harder to contain further lawsuits to Britain.

Antonio Banderas To Experience Pablo Picasso

33 Days informs story of Guernica muralThe last major portayal we are able to think about was an angry Anthony Hopkins (although more lately there is a short turn by Marcial Di Fonzo Bo in Night time In Paris), however it appears Pablo Picasso is going to get more dashing form in 33 Dias (33 Days), where he'll be performed by Antonio Banderas.In which the Hopkins film, James Ivory's Making it through Picasso, covered an extensive slice from the artist's existence focusing around the various women he was psychologically associated with, 33 Days' focus is going to be narrower. That one are only covering only the beginning and development of Picasso's masterpiece Guernica. The film's position would be that the painting drawn Picasso from an individual crisis, throughout time of his relationship using the French artist Dora Maar.Carried out the summer time of 1937, the 25ft painting represents a violent chaos of individuals and creatures, and is built to bring focus on the blitzkrieg bombing from the Basque town by Franco-supporting German forces throughout the The spanish language Civil War. It presently lives in the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, and it is generally one among the truly amazing works of art from the twentieth century.33 Days, that is allocated at 8 million pounds, is written and directed by Carlos Saura (The seventh Day, Goya In Bordeaux), with legendary cinematographer Vittorio Storraro (Apocalypse Now) in foretells join the project.The most popular thought of Picasso is the fact that he was short and bald, but when you appear at pictures of Picasso within the nineteen thirties, Banderas all of a sudden appears like quite canny casting. Additionally, there are the current Enthusiasts song, telling us that after Picasso walked lower the road, women couldn't resist his stare. That alone makes Banderas appear entirely appropriate."He's a personality which has went after me for any very long time," states Banderas. "I'm from Malaga, and that he was created four blocks where I had been born."Shooting around the French and The spanish language-language film begins within the summer time.

Mega Buzz: A Bones Movie, Smash's Leading Lady and a New NCIS Relationship

Emily Deschanel, Katharine McPhee, Mark Harmon Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questionsto mega_scoop@tvguide.com. Can't wait for Bones to come back in April! Got any scoop until then? - Gina ADAM: One of Brennan's books is being turned into a film, and wouldn't you like to know who Hollywood has chosen to play our blood-and-guts lovers? You will, when a murder on set brings Booth and Bones and their movie alter egos together. Booth's stand-in is an action star whose stunts aren't limited to filming. It seems his criminal history of drug use and assault are just attempts to make headlines on TMZ. The actress playing Brennan? Well, she's kind of a slut. No thanks, poetic license; we'll stick with the originals. So Ivy won the role of Marilyn Monroe on Smash. But Katharine McPhee is in all those commercials! Safe to say that's not permanent casting? - LucyNATALIE: You're definitely on to something there, Lucy. Whether or not she winds up in the role of Norma Jean, Karen is going to be sticking around for a while -- as a member of the show's chorus (ouch). Obstacle No. 1: How can she win over the super-savvy (and Ivy-loving) Broadway guys and gals with whom she now rehearses every day? For starters, don't go home to Iowa and sing "Redneck Woman," Karen. How will Gibbs be different now that he has reflected on his life in NCIS' 200th episode? - Henry ADAM: Executive producer Gary Glasberg says Gibbs has perhaps shed some of the guilt he carried over his wife's death, which may open him up to new relationships. As luck would have it, Jamie Lee Curtis' first episode is Feb. 21! Her character, psychiatrist Samantha Ryan, "knows how to get inside people's heads and she knows how to spar with Gibbs," Glasberg says. "She's willing to challenge him on a professional level, which will then carry over into other things." Other things? "You can't keep [characters] alone forever!" Glasberg teases. I hope Gibbs loves/needs Activia. I still can't believe Desperate Housewives is ending. Please give me some scoop to help me grieve. -Jennifer NATALIE: Let's connect some dots: Carlos is in rehab, so he's not working, which means the Solis family isn't making any money. Does this mean Gaby will have to get a job? It's looking increasingly likely that the former model-turned-housewife will have to join the workforce - which is great, because we all know how much Gaby loves putting her nose to the grindstone. What can you tell me about the end of Castle's two-parter? - Ellen ADAM: How about a cryptic hint from creator Andrew W. Marlowe? "Hang on to the end, because we have a couple of surprises in store," he says. "There's a revelation about Castle that should be interesting for fans." We hear it's connected to the mystery surrounding Castle's absent father - who may have had a behind-the-scenes role in his son's future successes. When is Alaric going to do something other than drink and flirt with Meredith on The Vampire Diaries? - SamNATALIE: To be fair, Alaric has lost both his wife and girlfriend to the blood-suckers, so we'll give him a pass on the nascent alcoholism. But we'll soon learn more about his vampire-hunting days, which may help us to figure out why Elena trusts him so blindly. "A lot more of his past will be revealed," Matt Davis says. "Things that he's been struggling with will be purged and come into clarity for him." What's going to happen on How I Met Your Mother now that Ted told Robin he loves her? - Alex ADAM: I don't think it's going to go very well. Why else would Barney be setting Ted up on a series of "palate-cleansing" dates? Each girl Ted goes out with couldn't be more different from Robin - one is a hippie and another is a blinged-out hip-hop chick. But in Ted's mind, they're all just painful reminders of Robin - literally. Got any scoop on Private Practice's Charlotte and Cooper? - Jameson NATALIE: Erica's illness will begin to strain Charlotte and Cooper's relationship. "The amount of time that Cooper is dedicating to Mason is time that he's not dedicating to his marriage," Paul Adelstein tells us. "That takes its toll. Even though it's done for the right reasons, the relationship is still being neglected. As understanding as Charlotte is about that, it's still a disconnection and there are ramifications from that." Any Suburgatory spoilers? - Beth ADAM: Who wants to meet Tessa's mom? She's long wondered about the daughter she left behind, and she's finally ready to attempt to repair the relationship. The bad news: Although she's tried to become a better, stronger person, she's still a neurotic mess. I'm so glad Juliet wasn't really raped by Mr. Carpenter on Ringer! Will the trio actually get away with their plan? - Lana NATALIE: Who said it's just a trio? Just remember, with that many schemers splitting that much money, expect some people to get so greedy they'll do just about anything to get the others' shares. I love A Gifted Man. What's coming up for Anton now that he's been shot? - Lisa ADAM: Can a gunshot cause jealousy? Because Anton's feelings about Dr. Zeke and Christina's fledgling relationship will take a wild turn in coming episodes. "You'll see another triangle develop, and the wonderful, kind Anton might change a bit," executive producer Neal Baer teases. "He has a neurological condition from the shooting that changes his whole demeanor." Evil Anton? We're in! What's coming up on Spartacus? - Derek NATALIE: Is Lucretia out of mourning already? The widowed domina will be getting very cozy with a new man - a Roman, not a slave this time - during a decadent party held at the former House of Batiatus. Could this be one of the love interests Lucy Lawless teased? Natalie's Mega Rave: Lost alum Emilie de Ravin was a great casting choice to play Belle on Once Upon a Time, especially since we learned that Belle in Storybrooke has been locked up in a mental ward. Anyone else crossing their fingers for a squirrel baby cameo? Adam's Mini Rant: Hey Grammys, next time you reunite The Beach Boys, please leave Maroon 5 out of it. As Adele would say, fanks a lot.

New Guy Of Steel image emerges

Although we've been spoilt for choice over on-set images for your Amazing Spider-Guy as well as the Dark Dark evening Increases, catching a look at Zack Snyder's Guy Of Steel has proven somewhat harder for people hankering for morsels of spoilery goodness.Today however, we have no less than been treated to another picture of Henry Cavill's Superman, while using Kryptonian showing up for just about any picture getting a little boy using what seems like some form of official building.The completely new image gives little away, although we ought to admit, that suit is beginning to build up here. We're particularly liking the greater dark tone of blue, which ribbed, Spider-Guy-esque texture (not surprising, given co-creator James Acheson done costume design for your Mike Raimi trilogy) looks less incongruous here laptop or computer did inside the first official still.Cavill themselves also looks every inch the benevolent hero, together with a far more severe searching prospect than Brandon Routh's preppy version.

It required 71 years, but "Citizen Kane" is finally visiting Hearst Castle. The San Luis Obispo film fest has skedded a Hollywood to Hearst Castle event for March 9 including two tests of Orson Welles' landmark pic inspired through the erstwhile who owns San Simeon.

Wendy Eidson, fest professional director, stated: "We'd been attempting to do a celebration together for a long time so when I recommended showing 'Citizen Kane' as type of a tale, they did not laugh.

5 Reasons Why American Idol Will Stay on Top in Season 11

American Idol As American Idol kicks off its 11th season with auditions Wednesday and Thursday at 8/7c on Fox, can it continue to reign over its rival singing competitions on TV (and all other shows, for that matter)? Although Simon Cowell's The X Factor crowns its winner in the fall, NBC's The Voice will be nipping at Idol's heels when it premieres its second season on Feb. 5 after the Super Bowl. Charismatic banter among the coaches and those cool, swiveling chairs may bring in some viewers, but the Idol crew isn't sweating it, judging from a recent interview. American Idol slams its music show competition, reveals new performance challenges Frankly, we're thinking they have nothing to worry about, either. Behold, five reasons why Idol - the nation's most-watched prime-time program for the last eight years - will still be tops in Season 11: 1. A Season 10 comeback. Although Idol numbers have been slipping a bit in recent years, and original judges Cowell and Paula Abdul left for The X Factor, the rejiggered judges table and format somehow worked its magic. The Season 10 finale drew in a hefty 29 million viewers - far ahead of The Voice's 11 million and The X Factor's 12.6 million. 2. Sticking with a good thing. Following last year's upheaval and success, Season 11 won't be messing with the format. There will be minor differences -- '50s-style group singing instead of a Beatles round, for example -- but nothing significant. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez will still be battling for best-dressed (or best-tressed), while Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest will enjoy senior status. 3. Those notorious audition rounds. As annoying and time-consuming as the audition rounds can be to watch, they're nevertheless a draw because they demonstrate that almost anyone, and we mean anyone, can try out. "We try and make the American dream come true," executive producer Ken Warwick told critics at Fox's winter previews earlier this month. "Our show is open to everybody. It's much better for our audience if they know that this kid was cleaning windows two months ago and this week they're No. 1 in the downloads. That's a show. That's something to get hooked into." Meet The Voice's eight new advisers 4. A proven track record. Beginning with Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson - whose "Stronger" cannot be avoided nowadays - Idol has seen numerous contestants forge successful careers, if not superstardom. Last season's champ, Scotty McCreery, is basking in the glow of his debut album hitting platinum, while Carrie Underwood is hosting every country awards show that can be devised. Jennifer Hudson has an Oscar (and new body - thanks, in part, to Weight Watchers) and Katharine McPhee co-stars in NBC's upcoming musical drama Smash. (And that's just to name a few.) 5. A girl will win! Four male winners in the past four seasons? C'mon, America. It's about time, isn't it? Will you tune into American Idol this season? Do you like it better than The Voice or The X Factor?
