The Twilight Saga is one series which has taken the world by storm. Hundreds of thousands of fans have kept track of these movies as they have come out. This November, another installment is set to come out with the release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part I. The release of the poster in late May 2011 left many fans in suspense. Instead of seeing images of the lead characters they simply saw the title and release date of the movie set on a cloudy background.

After this disappointment members of the cast have given fans more to look forward to. Kirsten Stewart who plays Bella Swan revealed that many of the scenes which were shot actually felt very real. Co-star Elizabeth Reaser who plays Esme Cullen also agrees with this. She says the scene where Bella walks down the asile with her father is a magical moment. Aside from this she says that the stress felt with preparation and shooting of the scene is the same thing you would feel in an actual wedding. The emotions were felt not just in the scenes being shot, but for real.

A sneak peak of the movie will be shown during the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Of course it will be presented by none other than Kirsten Stewart, Robert Pattison and Taylor Lautner. This is an exclusive clip that is sure to get all the Twilight fans out there even more hyped up about the upcoming movie to be released on November this year.

Radio has always been a popular medium among the masses, and there’s no doubt that whether you’ve wanted to listen to jazz or even talk radio that offers content that is in line with your beliefs or way of life, not being able to tune into a favorite local station of yours would have changed all that.

Yet, as it must, things are changing, and with the internet bringing the world closer, television and radio has gone through a transformation, thanks to the Web 2.0 and the video revolution led by giants like YouTube.

Speaking of a transformation, you can now listen to web radio as well as gain access to movies, music, and so on by merely logging on to the internet. While the access of movies, television shows, and other video content is considered privileged, radio programming has been, is, and always will be considered to be free, and thankfully out of the hands of legislators with an axe to grind.

And it doesn’t matter what you want to listen to or even what country you live in, as you can find some of the best radio programming over the internet in the form of rock, pop, jazz, avant-garde genres, or even commonly enjoyed genres such as country music.

The good news is that with the internet being a binding force, people as far as Asia can now catch up with what’s happening in Europe and the United States through the internet. This could pertain to the latest release of your favorite artist or band, not forgetting that gossip is also an important element of keeping that band or artist in the spotlight.

The bottom line is that if you love listening to the radio, you can finally listen to the best radio programming that the world has to offer over the internet at no cost.

Ashton Kutcher has been approved for a starring entrance in “Two and a Half Men.” CBS and Warner Bros. Televsion announced the news. No one was sure who would replace Charlie Sheen or if the show would even be able to continue without him. There was so much uncertainty that many media observers were expecting a cancellation.

Kutcher, it’s being said, will be pocketing the proceeds of a “huge payday” for agreeing to return to television acting.

The hit show’s creator and executive producer, Chuck Lorre, had nothing but praise for Kutcher: “We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family…If I was any happier, it’d be illegal.”

Who else was being considered as Sheen’s replacement? Oh, just a Brit going by the name Hugh Grant. The charming bloke declined after a few talks about possibly taking over for Sheen. Nevertheless, those happy to have kept their writing jobs have mentioned that the prepared introduction for Ashton Kutcher is sure to please viewers and studio heads.

“No Strings Attached” was the selected actor’s last movie. Since making his television acting exit at the end of “That 70s Show,” Kutcher has kept busy on the big screen while working behind the cameras in television. He was mostly known for being the executive producer of MTV’s “Punk’d.”

As Kutcher prepares to make his first appearance on “Two and a Half Men,” the folks at CBS are hoping that some — if not all — of Kutcher’s big Twitter following (6.7 million and counting) will decide to follow him all the way to the TV.

Kutcher played coy on the news Thursday. “I’m starting to become convinced that people put my name in articles just to improve their SEO or hoping I’ll tweet it,” he wrote on Twitter. As for Sheen, he’s in the middle of embarking on a world tour with a show called: “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option.” Kudos to both actors.
