In keeping with its documentary push, the premium cable network has acquired Made in America, the star-studded documentary that chronicled Jay Z’s two-day music festival of the same name. The doc, which is directed by Ron Howard and executive produced by the music mogul, Howard and his Imagine Entertainment producing partner Brian Grazer, will have its television debut Friday, Oct. 11.

We are proud to bring Made in America to Showtime where it joins our impressive roster of provocative and compelling documentaries helmed by award-winning filmmakers."
The film, which is produced by RadicalMedia and Participant Media, features performances and interviews with a diverse roster of musicians, including Rita Ora, Passion Pit, Pearl Jam, Run D.M.C., Jill Scott and Kanye West, among several others.

Cowell - "very attached"

Simon Cowell is already feeling "very attached" to his unborn baby.




The music mogul is expecting his first child with American socialite Lauren Silverman. Although Simon previously ruled out having a family, he is looking forward to his new role as a parent.
"I have changed my mind," he told Mail Online''s Baz Bamigboye. "Once it's happened, you feel completely different. Once I heard the news about the baby... little bit of a shock, then I got used to it, and then I became incredibly paternal and protective and I feel very attached to the baby already."
Simon is 53 and admits he thought the chance to have kids had passed him by.
The famously sarcastic talent show judge is clearly overcome by the prospect of welcoming the new addition into his life next year.
"The fact that it can happen at this time of my life is fantastic, maybe a miracle..." he smiled.
Lauren, who recently divorced Simon''s friend Andrew Silverman, is believed to be due to give birth in February.
Simon and Lauren have been spotted in London this week looking very loved-up as they enjoyed a series of romantic dates.
Although Simon has never been married, it seems he may be ready to finally settle down.
"That's a very leading question," he laughed when asked if he is considering marrying the mother of his child. "You'll just have to wait and see."
Earlier this week it was reported that Simon is eager to name the baby after his father Eric if it''s a boy, or Erica if he has a daughter.
The X Factor boss' dad passed away after suffering a heart attack in 1999 at the age of 81.

Fergie & Josh



Fergie is reportedly in labour with her first child.
The 38-year-old singer arrived to a Los Angeles hospital with husband Josh Duhamel Thursday morning, according to TMZ.
The website reports the star will undergo a previously-scheduled C-section to deliver their baby boy.
"We're told Josh is being super chill about the whole thing... and was seen chatting it up with the staff while Fergie gets ready to deliver their first child," the outlet claims.
A spokesperson for the couple had not replied to Cover Media's request for comment at press time.
Fergie will reportedly recuperate afterwards in a V.I.P. suite famously used by new mom Kim Kardashian.
The reality star and boyfriend Kanye West welcomed their daughter North into the world in June and Josh recently revealed he and Fergie had to reconsider their favourite name for their unborn child as a result.
"I grew up in North Dakota so we were going to name it North but Kim and Kanye took that," Josh told E!
The couple have been tight-lipped about the new name for the baby but say it will be more "traditional" than their first choice.
"It's a fairly traditional name but you don't hear it very often," Josh said. "It means a lot to both of us and part of it is a family name. We're not telling anybody because we don't want to hear it. No matter what you choose, people are going to have their comments."

Jessie J - "no bOObs" for Robin



Jessie J insists there will be 'no boobs' in her video with Robin Thicke.

The British star is teaming up with Robin on track Calling All Hearts, which means a music video is sure to follow.

Robin's summer hit Blurred Lines, which also featured T.I. and Pharrell Williams, shocked with a raunchy promo.

The unrated version featured topless girls, but Jessie won't be quite as quick to take her clothes off.

'No boobs. Not doing that,' she assured British newspaper The Sun.

'Even though Robin is really cool and I was thrilled he wanted to duet with me. I'll be getting paid a lot of money if they want me to dance around like the girls in the Blurred Lines video.'

Calling All Hearts will be released on an album by DJ Cassidy.

The star revealed what fans can expect from the collaboration.

'It is such a terrific sound. Earth, Wind & Fire play, along with musicians who worked on the biggest hits of Chaka Khan and Michael Jackson,' she teased.

'It has a real '80s vibe to it.'

While Jessie might not be ready to get raunchy, it seems Robin still has a taste for sexy performances.

The singer shocked audiences with his stint at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, which saw him take to the stage as Miley Cyrus gyrated on him provocatively.

Michael Buble & Luisana Lopilato Welcome Baby Boy





The 37-year-old Canadian singer and the 26-year-old Argentine actress were married in 2011. The couple met in 2009 during a South American concert tour.
The Grammy-winning pop singer has sold millions of albums, including "Crazy Love" and 2011's "Christmas." Lopilato made her name as a model and in Argentine sitcoms and soap operas

Selena Gomez - Spunky

Selena Gomez 'gets' what it's like to crave independence.
The actress-and-singer stars in Getaway, an action film about a young woman whose car is commandeered by a former race-car driver.
Selena plays The Kid and while her name might be ambiguous, the 21-year-old can really relate to the way her character feels.



'The Kid is spunky and edgy and really cool. I get her angst and why she's that way.. with her dad and the frustration of her wanting to be on her own,' she mused to Flicks and Bits.
'She knows a lot about cars and technology, which I know nothing about [laughs], so that was interesting for me and a big challenge to familiarise myself with.'
Ethan Hawke takes the lead role in the movie.
Spring Breakers star Selena learnt a great deal from working with the Hollywood actor.
'He probably doesn't realise it, but every time Ethan speaks I take away so many pearls of wisdom. I had my first script, the first draft, when we were rehearsing. I would put 'Ethan' on the side and just write down quotes of what he would say because he just has so much knowledge [laughs]. I had so much fun working with him and I learned so much,' she gushed.
