Maybe next time, folks ... though we wouldn't hold our breath -- a rep for the Tupac estate tells us, it plans to block any future sale of the tape ... and make sure the tape never sees the light of day.

Brittany died from from pneumonia in 2009 ... and 5 months later, her husband also passed away from the same ailment.

Coming Soon Next Big Superhero Movie: Avengers vs. X-Men

One, as the upcoming Avengers movie demonstrates, Marvel is not a company adverse to all-star, big-screen team-ups.

Two, the promo picture for the Avengers-X-Men comic, formally titled Avengers vs. X-Men, features a Hawkeye who looks a lot more like the new Jeremy Renner version than the traditional, mask-wearing version.

Put 'em both together, and is it really, truly crazy talk to ask if Marvel's laying the groundwork for an Avengers vs. X-Men multiplex extravaganza?
A Marvel rep didn't respond to an email seeking comment.

Jim Littler, cofounder of ComicBookMovie.com, meanwhile, didn't dismiss Conspiracy Corner's inquiry or its inquiring mind. Well, not immediately anyway.  
"Marvel is indeed leveraging their comics to tie into the movies, which they see as they natural evolution of the industry," Littler said in an email. "But Fox is still the franchise owner of the X-Men movies."

And, yes, Disney is still the franchise owner of The Avengers movies.
While rival studios work together occasionally—see: Donald Duck and Daffy Duck sharing the stage in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?—the key word is occasionally.
With Fox actively working X-Men angles, and Disney just beginning with The Avengers, "I believe it is still wishful thinking at this point," Littler concluded of an all-star, big-screen team-up.
Make that, wishful geekish thinking.

For family emergency Selena Gomez Cancels Concerts

Celebrity Gossip - Selena Gomez has pulled the plug on two holiday-themed concerts scheduled for tonight and tomorrow.

Her rep says Selena is OK, instead citing a "family emergency" as the reason for the abrupt cancellation.

However, a source close to the situation tells me that Gomez's mother, Mandy, suffered a miscarriage yesterday. Gomez announced on Twitter late last month that her mom and stepdad, Brian Teefey, were expecting their first child together.

The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet was set to perform tonight at the B96 Jingle Bash 2011 at the Allstate Arena outside of Chicago and tomorrow at 106.1 KISS FM's Jingle Bell Bash at the WaMu Theater in Seattle. The entire Seattle show has now been postponed, because OneRepublic also had to cancel with frontman Ryan Tedder ordered by doctors to go on vocal rest.

Selena was in the audience at Power 106's Cali Christmas 2011 concert in Los Angeles last night when she learned of her mother's tragic news. Gomez immediately left the show and headed home.

She is scheduled to perform during MTV's live New Year's Eve special hosted by her pal Demi Lovato and Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey.

Hot News- 50 Best Miami Rap Songs

Hot wallpapers of Hollywood celebrities are the best themes for your PC and mobile phones. If you are a fan of actors like Christian Bale, Orlando Bloom, George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp, or Leonardo DiCaprio, featuring their images as the wallpaper themes of your devices can enliven your working hours.

Again, some others find their favourite Hollywood fans in Matthew McConaughey, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Daniel Radcliffe, Keanu Reeves, Brandon Routh, Will Smith or Denzel Washington.

Sex, money, and the pursuit of happiness have always been the topics of choice for Dade County rappers—a legacy that dates all the way back to the X-rated comedy records that local soul songwriter Clarence Reid recorded as “Blowfly” in the ’70s and ’80s.

The city's car culture, strip clubs and drug-fueled ’80s nightlife provided the backdrop for the development of Miami Bass, the uptempo, 808-driven dance sound popularized by nightclub owner/record magnate/First Amendment poster boy Luther "Luke Skyywalker" Campbell and his booty-obsessed group, 2 Live Crew.
Bass music dominated the Miami soundscape for over a decade, supplanted only by the emergence of Slip-N-Slide Records, Trick Daddy, and Trina at the close of the 1990s. Rappers like Rick Ross and Pitbull took inspiration from Scarface, Miami Vice, and the real-life crime wave that turned the city into America's murder capital in the 1980s.
Equally influential in recent years has been the wave of rap stars from other cities who have settled on Miami’s shores since Urban Beach Week, The Source Awards, and a certain Will Smith song helped turn the city into hip-hop’s favorite playground. The result is a striking duality not found in any other U.S. rap scene, reflecting both the sunny resorts of Miami Beach and the gritty ghettos on the other side of Interstate 95.
As the city’s current don dada, RIck Ross, gets set to drop his long-awaited God Forgives, I Don't—an album that promises to be one of the biggest in Dade Country history—Complex takes a look back at The 50 Best Miami Rap Songs. It’s peanut butter jelly time!

Sexy celebrity Kourtney and Kim Big Apple Drama

Celebrity Paula Patton Covers Complex Magazine

Celebrity Gossip - Making a name for herself as she co-stars alongside Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," the lovely Paula Patton put her beauty on full display for the cover of the December 2011/January 2012 issue of Complex.

The 36-year-old brunette beauty sizzles in a Thierry Le Gouès shot spread lining the magazine's pages while talking about topics including her first encounter with Cruise, as well as her newfound sense of confidence.
With a behind-the-scenes video available above, highlights from Miss Patton's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Complex!
On whether her first meeting with Tom Cruise was intimidating:
"No, actually. He made me feel comfortable; he was so kind. At first I felt like I shouldn’t waste my time, because I just didn’t see how they’d actually cast me. I didn’t think of myself being hired to be in this. Then they kept calling, so I figured, 'OK, I have nothing to lose. It would be cool to be a spy. [Laughs.] And it’d be amazing to work with Tom. If they’re calling, there has to be a reason—you have to have more faith in yourself.' So they called and said that they wanted me to do a chemistry read with Tom, and it was like no screen test I’d ever done before. I had my trailer, and the test was on a big soundstage in Paramount. It felt very 'old Hollywood.' It was very exciting. I had to learn how to disarm a gun a little bit—or at least be able to fake it—that same day!"
On her dual nature:
"I want to be peaceful, but I have a lot of violent rage inside of me. Mission: Impossible was great for helping me get some of that out without really hurting anyone."
On whether she's game to be Hollywood's next female action hero:
"Hell yeah. I’d love to do more action films. I was always athletic as a child, so for me it’s fun to run and jump and get physical. I love all of that. It would be amazing to keep kicking ass in other films, or in more Mission: Impossible films—whatever comes my way. I’m just open to wherever life takes me. I try to put up light guardrails in my life, and leave room for things to come my way and surprise me. If you’re too rigid in your quest for something, you might not see the other amazing possibilities that are thrown at you."
On what brought about her newfound sense of confidence:
"Being honest with yourself as you get older, and after you live life longer. I’m more comfortable with my flaws now, and with that, you start to feel more confident. When you’re trying to hide all of your flaws, and you’re embarrassed by them, it can be so uncomfortable—very, very uncomfortable. You don’t know who you’re supposed to be. I just hit a certain point when I started to think, 'You know what? These are my flaws, and I’m OK with them.' I love me! I’m doing the best I can with what I have. I’m not afraid to say that anymore. I feel comfortable in my own skin now."

In Dance Studio Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were Side-by-Side

Of the motion picture, Cruise's co-star Jeremy Renner recently spoke to Movie Line about what he learned from the Hollywood legend.
Renner dished, "He and I have the same work ethic but his just resonates on a higher level because he has done so many action movies and this was just my first one. He set a really high bar for me, which is great, because now the bar is high for the next three action movies that I’ll do."
He added, "I was willing. I trained so that I was able. Tom really got me on a regimen program so I would not get injured. He gave me an analogy that working on these movies was like working as a professional athlete. I took it a step further thinking that in any professional sport, there is a second string that comes in if you get injured. But in cinema, there isn’t a second string Ethan Hunt that rolls in. So we can’t get hurt. Most of the training, outside of learning a discipline like wire practice, was not getting injured.

Because you’re doing things on a wire that your body just isn’t used to doing. It’s all about preparation. It was never a competition or anything — he just set a really high bar to live up to and I gave it a go."

Of his newcomer actress co-star, Rooney Mara, Daniel told, "We all knew she was good. She's just committed as an actress, and she made all of the right choices with David's help and everyone else's help. She's just blossomed as somebody.

Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Britney Top for MTV Top Song

Celebrity Gossip - Offering up their take on the best in music over the past twelve months, MTV has debuted their rundown of the Top 25 songs from 2011.

Perched atop the pack is the chart-topping "Rolling In the Deep" from Adele while the single "Vomit" from Girls nabbed runner-up honors with Jay-Z and Kanye West's "N---as in Paris" taking third.

Other big names landing spots in the Top 25 included Lady Gaga, Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna.
Going in depth about their pick of Adele's "Rolling In the Deep" as the top tune of the year, MTV wrote, "Not only the song of the year, it's also quite possibly the song of our time, which is an odd thing to say, considering "Deep" is about as artfully anachronistic as popular music gets: a crackling, breathy thing that roils along on little more than a stubby guitar and some primal pounding, it positively roars to life the second the chorus hits, powered entirely by Adele's prodigious pipes. No Auto-Tune, no mention of partying or material excess (and not even a single Will Ferrell sample), "Deep" is a throwback in every conceivable way to a time when artists actually sang (and sang about real, genuine emotions like sadness and anger), when a single could push an album for months and months at a time and, most of all, when people still bought music. And despite all that, it was still the crossover smash to end all crossover smashes, the song that not only dominated 2011, but defined it, too. Sort of gives you hope ... or makes you realize we truly are living in the strangest of times."
The complete list of MTV's Top 25 songs of 2011 is as follows:
1. Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
2. Girls, "Vomit"
3. Jay-Z and Kanye West, "N---as in Paris"
4. Lady Gaga, "Heavy Metal Lover"
5. Florence and the Machine, "Shake It Out"

6. Drake, "Take Care"
7. Bright Eyes, "The Ladder Song"
8. Nickelback, "Bottoms Up"
9. Beyoncé, "Love on Top"
10. Britney Spears, "Till the World Ends"
11. Rihanna, "We Found Love"
12. Foster The People, "Pumped Up Kicks"
13. LMFAO, "Party Rock Anthem"
14. Nicki Minaj, "Super Bass"
15. Lil Wayne, "6 Foot 7 Foot"
16. Washed Out, "Eyes be Closed"
17. YACHT, "Dystopia (The Earth Is on Fire)"
18. Chris Brown, "Beautiful People"
19. The Black Keys, "Lonely Boy"
20. Lykke Li, "Get Some"
21. Demi Lovato, "Skyscraper"
22. Gospel Music, "This Town Doesn't Have Enough Bars for Both Of Us"
23. Kreayshawn, "Gucci Gucci"
24. Against Me!, "Russian Spies"
25. Nicola Roberts, "Beat of My Drum"

Breaking News Kobe Bryant's Wife Files Ready for Divorce

Celebrity News - With the NBA preseason just underway after a lengthy league lockout, Kobe Bryant's season has had an eventful beginning after his wife Vanessa filed for divorce.

The Los Angeles Lakers All-Star is on the way to being a single man, as TMZ reports that his wife of 10+ years is ending their marriage.

The split coming after Vanessa stuck by her man's side through an alleged sexual assault by Kobe in 1993 during a visit to Colorado, TMZ's source tells, "She's been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she's finally had enough," adding, "This one is the straw that broke the camel's back."

The report adds that Mrs. Bryant submitted the papers on Friday (December 16) while seeking joint custody of their two daughters, 8-year-old Natalia and 5-year-old Gianna, including primary care with her basketball star ex permitted visitation.

Kobe Bryant divorce: Vanessa cites 'irreconcilable differences'

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant said they have "resolved all the issues" related to their divorce in private and that final court papers will be filed next year.
Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce in Orange County Superior Court on Friday afternoon, stating her intentions to end her 10-year marriage to the Lakers star.
A computer record of the divorce filing does not contain details of the divorce. But a copy of the filing obtained by TMZ.com shows that Vanessa Bryant cited "irreconcilable differences."

In a statement released by their publicist, the couple said a final judgment for the marriage will be filed with the Orange County court in 2012.

"We ask that in the interest of our young children and in light of the upcoming holiday season the public respect our privacy during this most difficult time," they said in the statement.

The couple also asked for privacy in a statement to "The Insider" TV show.

Vanessa Bryant is being represented by noted divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

Kobe Bryant's wife files for divorce

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant have been married for more than 10 years.

One week after Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers were denied a trade that would have landed superstar point guard Chris Paul, Kobe received more bad news.

Celebrity couples often don't have a Hollywood ending. Check out sports couples who split up.

Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, filed for divorce on Friday from the Los Angeles Lakers star, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split from her husband of more than 10 years.
Vanessa Bryant signed the papers on Dec. 1. Kobe Bryant signed his response on Dec. 7 and it was filed Friday, according to the documents.
The filing of the documents comes more than eight years after Vanessa Bryant stuck by the basketball icon when he was accused of sexually assaulting a Colorado woman. The case was dropped when his accuser refused to testify, but the former league MVP admitted being unfaithful to his wife and settled a civil suit filed by the woman.
Unnamed sources told celebrity news website TMZ that Vanessa Bryant was filing for divorce because she believed her husband had been unfaithful again.
"She's been dealing with these incidents for a long time and has been a faithful wife, but she's finally had enough," one source said. "This one is the straw that broke the camel's back."
A representative for the couple released a statement saying, ''The Bryants have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a Judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012.''

Also in the statement, the Bryants ''ask that in the interest of our young children and in light of the upcoming holiday season the public respect our privacy during this difficult time.''
In the filing, Vanessa Bryant asked for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's two daughters, Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5. Kobe Bryant asked for the same in his response. Vanessa Bryant also requested spousal support. Kobe Bryant has earned roughly $200 million — not including endorsements — during his 15-year career with the Lakers, but may have to give up half of his assets as part of a divorce settlement, as the couple is not believed to have signed a prenuptial agreement, TMZ reported.
Bryant met his future wife in 1999 on a music video shoot when Vanessa Laine was 18 years old. Six months later, she and the then-21-year-old Bryant became engaged. They married on April 18, 2001 after Bryant had turned 22.
When Kobe Bryant was charged with sexual assault in 2003, she appeared at a news conference, holding his hand and stroking it tenderly as the NBA star admitted he was guilty of adultery — but nothing else. Earlier, she had issued her own statement to the media, vowing to stand by her husband.

''I know that my husband has made a mistake — the mistake of adultery,'' she said in the statement at the time. ''He and I will have to deal with that within our marriage, and we will do so. He is not a criminal.''
The case against Kobe Bryant was later dismissed.
Last year, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant settled litigation with a former maid who accused the NBA star's wife of harassment. The Bryants countersued Maria Jimenez for violating a confidentiality agreement by talking to reporters about the family.

Vanessa Bryant: Meet Kobe Bryant's Wife, the Woman Who Ended the Lakers Dynasty

Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images

The basketball world was absolutely floored Sunday when the L.A. Lakers' hopes of a three-peat came to a screeching halt.
The Lakers were swept by the Dallas Mavericks in a series capped by an embarrassing 36-point drubbing in Game 4.
Fans and analysts are pointing to several reasons for the Lakers' demise: age, poor perimeter defense, lack of focus.
But the prevailing theory is that Pau Gasol was distracted by the fact that his girlfriend broke up with him right before the playoffs started. To make matters worse, Gasol's girlfriend was apparently counseled and told to break up with him by none other than Mrs. Kobe Bryant.
Let's take a closer look at the woman who single-handedly took down the Lakers dynasty.

MTV names Katy Perry its 1st Artist of the Year

NEW YORK (AP) -- Katy Perry's run of No. 1 singles has earned her the distinction of becoming MTV's first Artist of the Year.
Perry topped Adele after a spirited discussion among MTV's internal panel of experts, the network said Thursday. Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" was chosen Top Song of 2011, said Amy Doyle, the network's chief of music programming.
MTV declared Skrillex its Electronic Dance Music Artist of the Year over David Guetta.
Search: Katy Perry's music
Different parts of MTV would make "best of" lists in the past, but the network wanted to establish a franchise that brought all its online and TV arms together and emphasized MTV's music roots, Doyle said. The network, established in 1981, hopes it becomes an annual thing.
Seven panelists made the final choice, and their deliberations were featured in MTV programming this week.
"Rolling in the Deep" was an obvious selection as Top Song, Doyle said. Runners-up were Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" and Rihanna's "We Found Love."
"I loved the song the moment I wrote it," Adele said. "The melody and the beat added some conviction to it. I think that's why people connected with it."

Perry's achievement of tying Michael Jackson's "Bad" as the only albums to yield five No. 1 singles was particularly impressive, Doyle said. Along with the title cut, "California Gurls," "E.T.," "Firework" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" all topped the charts. She's trying to beat the record with the current single "The One That Got Away."
"You just really felt her presence in pop culture throughout the year," Doyle said.
Skrillex, whose real name is Sonny Moore, describes his music as a combination of "dubstep, electro and glitch." MTV included the category of Best Electronic Dance Music Artist to pay tribute to the way the style is taking off with its young viewers, she said.
MTV also asked its viewers to vote on their choice of the best live performances shown on MTV all year. Their choice was "Hurricane" by 30 Seconds to Mars.

Katy Perry Debuts Short, Light Hair At Event With Russell Brand (PHOTOS)

Katy Perry likes to switch it up. A lot.
The often-colorful singer, who most recently sported a pink head of hair, stepped out with husband Russell Brand Saturday night with a brand new 'do. She showed off her lighter, shorter locks -- which now has just a hint of pink -- while posing and smiling with Brand for photographers at the 3rd Annual "Change Begins Within" Benefit Celebration in L.A.
Their appearance at Saturday's event will hopefully settle those recent rumors that there's trouble in paradise for the couple, who have been married since October 2010.
Brand recently appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to downplay the divorce rumors.
"I am really happily married," he said, adding, "I'm married to Katy perpetually. 'Until death do us part' was the pledge. I'm still alive!"
Check out a photo of Perry and Brand below!

Katy Perry Films 'SNL,' Matt Damon In Homeless Disguise (PHOTOS)

At first glance, it's Katy Perry who looks like she made the biggest transformation in these photos, what with her light brown hair and Old Navy-inspired garb. But take a look at the guy standing in front of Perry and Andy Samberg, shoving some pizza in his face?
Recognize him?
Under all that hair and bedraggled clothing, it's Matt Damon!
The "We Bought A Zoo" star looks to be guesting in a "Saturday Night Live" digital short starring Samberg and Perry, who is hosting the show tomorrow night. Unlike his clean cut dad look in the Cameron Crowe-directed family movie, Damon is delightfully unkempt here.

Katy Perry On 'Saturday Night Live' Video: Sketches & Russell Brand

For all her fun songs, music videos and public stunts, Katy Perry will be taking her first real stab at substantial live comedy acting when she hosts "Saturday Night Live." It's a daunting task, but luckily, she's got a pretty seasoned humor expert in her corner.
Also, her bed.
As Perry told MTV, her husband, Russell Brand, has been giving her plenty of advice, based on his own experience hosting the show.
"My husband, of course, every day I call him and I'm like 'this happened,'" she said, "and he's like, 'I know what that means and here's the next play-by-play for tomorrow,' so he's gotten me really prepared for this week, thankfully."
Brand hosted the show last February, to critical acclaim. Much of his episode centered on his exquisite Britishness, including the "British Movie" sketch and the "Royal Taster." Perry, of course, doesn't have that heritage or accent to play, but she does have another prominent asset that the writers of the sketch show wanted to highlight.
"There were a lot of [skit] pitches about my boobs," she recently told Access Hollywood. "I was cool about that, but I'm not sure all of it [got] in. So we'll see."
That they'd be so eager to use her natural gifts to create comedy makes some sense; last year, Perry, as musical guest, generated some big publicity for a sketch that lampooned her Sesame Street debacle.
As for other sketches, she gave MTV a quick preview of what to expect.
"Well, you're gonna see some Hello Kitty, some cockney accents, maybe, and some me flubbing my lines, probably laughing out loud at Kristen Wiig, 'cause she's amazing," Perry said.
There's also that digital short with Matt Damon looking his absolute best to get excited about.
