3-D Version of Beatles' 'Yellow Submarine' To Shoot In April 2011, Says Star Cary Elwes

Disney announced in March that it plans to shut down Robert Zemeckis' digital animation studio. Apparently "A Christmas Carol" — and its lackluster domestic box office showing — will be one of the studio's swan songs (get excited for "Mars Needs Moms," people!). Yet the closure, so it seems, will have no bearing on the [...]

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" returned to the silver screen at Radio City Music Hall this October 8 and 9 for a special two-night-only engagement. The best part? The screenings featured a live symphony orchestra playing the entire score along with the movie. Ludwig Wicki conducted the orchestra, which included over 300 musicians from the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra, the Brooklyn Youth Choir and Dessoff Symphonic Choir.

Now after seeing the film with live musical accompaniment, I have to say this is what a 3-D movie should be like. Forget about cool special effects jumping out at you. Having the orchestra perched directly beneath the screen and playing the score to perfection added another layer of emotion to the film to accompany the already eye-popping 2-D visuals. The "Two Towers" soundtrack is amazing alone, but hearing it performed live in person gives you a greater appreciation for both the music and the movie.

At certain points during the film, I found that I was completely focused on the orchestra, and at other times I forgot that they were even there because the music was so on point. I even got the chills during the film, especially feeling the music's effect during the scenes in Rohan, Helm's Deep and Forth Eorlingas when Gandalf, Éomer and the Rohirim come charging down on the Orcs at Helm's Deep. Everyone in the audience was clapping and cheering during these moments and throughout the entire film.

After the end credits concluded, Ludwig Wicki and the rest of the orchestra received a standing ovation. And the crowd rose to its feet once again when the man himself, Howard Shore -- who composed the music for all three films -- came out on stage to thunderous applause.

For any fan of the "Lord of the Rings" or of great orchestral music... or both, this was a night that will not be soon forgotten. So plan ahead and remember to get tickets to "Return of the King," which will hit Radio City with a live symphony orchestra next year.

Will you be lining up to see "Return of the King" with a live symphony orchestra next year?

Céline Dion has received the greatest reward!

The singer gave birth to fraternal twin boys via C-section on Saturday morning at a Florida hospital.

One of the boys weighed in at 5 lbs., 4 oz., and the other weighed 5 lbs., 10 oz.

While the twins are healthy, Céline's rep says that they will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature.

The rep released a statement:

"Céline, René and their son René-Charles are thrilled. René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here. Céline is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up."

So exciting! We just hope those little bbs get to their normal weight as soon as possible!

Congratulations to Céline and René!

How to Get a Cheap Piano

Microphone covers are an indispensable apparatus used for recording. There are countless microphone covers available today but microphone foam covers are very popular for several reasons. They are usually constructed of soft substances capable of making certain that you record no more than your desired sound with high superior output.

As if her super chic maternity line and MomPrep classes weren’t enough, London-born Rosie Pope is starring in her very own reality series, Pregnant in Heels, which debuts on Bravo at the end of this year.

Now the trusted maternity style guru can share all her fashion knowledge with moms-to-be everywhere.

Before Pope embarked on a career helping pregnant women stay well-dressed, she was a ballet dancer and successful fashion model, gracing the pages of Italian Vogue and posing for photographer Steven Miesel.

She even studied neuroscience at Columbia University.

 

But it wasn’t until she created Rosie Pope Maternity in 2008 after having a hard time finding fashionable pieces during her own pregnancy that she found her true calling.

And we’re happy she did.

Pope, who lives happily in N.Y.C. with her husband, Daron, and son, J.R., reveals the top five items every expectant mom should have. Check them out below.

Over-the-belly black leggings. Ladies, these comfy bottoms are your best friend at every stage of your pregnancy and even on the ride to the delivery room! They look great with everything — silk tunic, chunky cardigan or slouchy boyfriend sweater. Trust me, no pregnant woman can survive without them.

Classic tank. Be sure to stock your wardrobe with long tanks in neutral colors (white, black and grey). They’ll streamline your new curves and give your growing bump some support. Plus pairing them with leggings and a chunky cardigan make for an excellent weekend outfit.

Great-fitting maternity jeans. Don’t choose your style based on pre-pregnancy brand loyalty. Make sure to try on all the available maternity denim out there and buy the pair that fits your body best. And despite what people may tell you, the right fit should last your entire pregnancy. They’ll also come in handy in the weeks after delivery before you can fit back into your non-pregnancy jeans.

Dress up, dress down dress. Find a style you can wear to work, out to brunch or on a play date, but that’s perfect for date night with the addition of some gorgeous accessories and some wedge heels (they’re more kind to pregnant feet). And the less frills, the better. You can get away with wearing it more than once in a week and nobody will be the wiser.

The Baby Shower dress. This should be your splurge piece and while you will probably only wear it once or twice (perhaps to a wedding or two), this is your special moment and you deserve to look fabulous. So go on and treat yourself.
