There are a lot of Backstreet Boys fans that are going to be having a very Merry Christmas with the news that the boys will be releasing a new album in 2012! Howie D delivered the happy news during his visit to Clevver Music where he sang his new single 'Lie To Me' (love it!). It was an acoustic performance for the site's 'Live on Sunset' special.
He also gave an exclusive interview where he gave the very good news. He also talked of how the Backstreet Boys reinvent themselves with each album they release:
"That's always the challenge working on new albums; trying to push the envelope, trying to always top the last album. But that's what we do. That's one of the reasons why we take our time to make the record the best it can be."
For sharing that great news, you should show Howie some love: For more on Howie, visit his official site, Facebook, and Twitter, and be sure to pick up his album, Back To Me, available now at iTunes and Amazon.

Here’s the first image from Cloud Atlas, the long-awaited adaptation of David Mitchell's acclaimed novel that has taken not one, but three directors, namely The Wachowskis (The Matrix trilogy) and Tom Tykwer (Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Run Lola Run), to pull off. Looks more like a Christmas card or an ad for an antique store than a still from the film.
The book spans thousands of years, from the 18th century Pacific expedition to a savage post-apocalyptic world, with a 1930’s love story, a thriller in the 70s, and a present day comedy. The cast includes Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess, Hugo Weaving (The Wachowskis’ The Matrix), Susan Sarandon, Ben Whishaw (Tykwer’s Perfume: The Story of a Murderer , Keith David and James D'Arcy, who will all play multiple roles, genders and even races.
Filming has just been completed so, thanks to Empire we have the first official image in which the directors (as well as the book’s author David Mitchell) and producers are celebrating the holidays on the prop filled set. The props in the picture alone should give you an idea of how much time and territory the film covers (or at least the book covered).
If you know the book, you’ll also recognise props from the six interlinking tales. We’ve spotted the VW Beetle of crusading journo Luisa Rey (Berry), the ’70s thriller that should inject serious voltage into the film’s middle act (if you really know the book, you’ll spot that it’s drab green not rust orange).
Also on display are a pair of Chatham Island totems, a piano belonging to the composer of the ‘Letters from Zedelghem’ chapters, some dystopian gadgetry from near-future Korea, and a cart that we’re guessing gets used to carry post-apocalyptic veggies around Hawaii.
I would have thought Mitchell’s book unfilm-able, but then again, Darren Aronofsky managed to get The Fountain made. Cloud Atlas opens in theaters October 26, 2012.
Well, it’s finally here: the first official trailer for Sir Ridley Scott’s Prometheus.Yay! *demented poodle dance* Okay, okay, settle down. After all of the hype, it’s kind of anti-climactic. Seems to me that if you strung together all of the pre-trailer teasers that had been unleashed all week, you’d have this trailer, which means, there’s not a lot new to see here. There are eerie images of spacesuit clad people running through a rocky landscape of what is probably a distant planet but still somehow looks like earth, with a strobe light-like effect set to a pulsating soundtrack. Don’t misunderstand, I like it!
On the surface of the thing, even though he’s been coy about saying whether or not it’s an out and out prequel, it would seem that Sir Ridley is using the title Prometheusand the way it emerges onto the screen in this trailer to allude to his 1979 sci-fi masterpiece, Alien. Most of the imagery certainly looks like it wants to be a part of that film. Of course, technology is now light-years ahead of where it was then. The film he’s made in 2011 is probably closer to the one he wanted to make in 1979. If nothing else, it looks intense.
According to Greek mythology, Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from Olympus to give to mankind and in punishment was chained to a rock, where an eagle tore at his liver until Hercules freed him. It seems that Scott is using the title of his film as a metaphor and whomever these people are (scientists of some sort) running around on that planet, they are using technology to discover the roots of life itself. Considering we know where this is supposedly supposed to lead, I’m guessing with disastrous consequences.
I’m still very intrigued by that new image from the film that was released yesterday, of Michael Fassbender’s android called David. That looks like a “WTF?” face to me. Whatever’s out there, I’m sure it’s going to terrify the bejeebus out of everyone in the film and probably everyone watching it too. I can’t wait!
Prometheus stars Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Patrick Wilson, Logan Marshall-Green, Guy Pearce and Rafe Spall. It comes to theaters in the UK on 1st June and the US on June 8.

As we reported earlier today, Adam Lambert and his boyfriend Sauli Koskinen were arrested following a 'brawl' outside of the gay club 'Don't Tell Momma' in Finland yesterday, but it's all behind him and Sauli and the two are laughing about it now thanks to hangover hamburgers.
What prompted the fight? While no specific details were mentioned, Vodka played apart in the 'irrational confusion':
