American Idol Contestant Killed, Former American Idol contestant Alexis Cohen died early Saturday morning, the victim of a possible hit-and-run in Seaside Heights, N.J.
(American Idol Contestant Killed) Cohen, 25, of Allentown, Pa., was found unresponsive on a street about 300 yards from where her car was parked in a lot, says Deputy Chief Michael Mohel of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.
First aid workers took her to Community Medical Center in Tom’s River, where she was pronounced dead at 6:35 a.m., he says.
An autopsy performed Saturday afternoon by the office of the Ocean County Medical Examiner found multiple traumatic chest and abdominal injuries, and a closed head injury, Mohel says.
“There was evidence that her body was impacted by a vehicle,” he says, noting the death is classified as a homicide.
Cohen, who auditioned for Idol in seasons 7 and 8, gained attention for her tirade against judge Simon Cowell, who rejected her performance.
No arrests have been made, says Mohel, who would not say where Cohen was prior to her death due to the ongoing investigation.
Angel of Death, Thank God for the sexy assassin…Kicking ass and arousing moviegoers for damn-near decades, the sexy assassin has racked up quite a body count in Hollywood – as well as comics and literature for equally as long – allowing actresses to show off their very best assets while proving that the men hadn’t yet cornered the market on the action genre. So the character of Eve in Angel of Death is hardly anything new, but she’s violent and brutal and sexy as hell, and when this mob assassin is injured (read: stabbed in the head) during a job, the subsequent visions of her victims lead her to seek revenge on her bosses before their newest hitman can put her in the ground.
But to call Angel of Death a “full-length action movie,” as the film is indeed advertised, is a little disingenuous, if not necessarily incorrect. In truth, it is a series of short web-based vignettes that tie rather neatly together to form a 75-minute narrative. Consequently, it is, by its very nature, hamstrung from looking or feeling much like a fully produced film, so at fifteen minutes shy of an hour and a half and lacking the polish required for Hollywood-style gunfights and choreographed beat-downs, Angel of Death is neither “full length,” nor strictly speaking an action-movie. It is, however, serviceably entertaining for two very worthwhile reasons.
The first is comic-book veteran Ed Brubaker, whom you might know from books such as Incognito or The Death of Captain America. Brubaker, who has seemingly specialized in gritty, action-oriented crime fiction, is no doubt aiming to give Angel of Death a particularly comic-book feel – violent, stylized and broken into tight, interconnecting chapters. In fact, small portions of the movie are filmed using panels as transitions between sequences. And while the story of an assassin gone rogue is hardly anything new, the noir-ish dialogue is both witty and appropriately violent, and the staging of the action feels more inspired than it is well-executed. That said, the film feels broad – and, in truth, it’s supposed to be – replicating the feel of a 1960’s grindhouse piece, but those unfamiliar with the pedigree or design of the project might find the film too broad for their liking.
The second reason that Angel of Death is even vaugely enjoyable is Zoe Bell. Known mostly for her role in Tarantino’s Death Proof — as well as being Lucy Lawless’ stunt-double in Xena — Bell is ridiculously hot with a New Zealand accent that’d make a good dog break his leash. But not only is she eye-candy – putting the “sexy” in “sexy assassin” – she’s a more than capable action performer, drawing on her experience to make every kick and punch believable. There’s no reason to expect that Bell couldn’t one day be a star, though vehicles such as this are hardly the route to take. And aside from simply looking good and kicking ass, she’s proving to be a competent actress, as well.
Unfortunately, director Paul Etheredge isn’t given the budget or scale to really pull this off as anything more than a handful of watchable webisodes. The action isn’t big enough; the effects aren’t sharp enough; the camera doesn’t move enough; the photography doesn’t pop enough – and all this despite a clearly visible effort on-screen. Certainly,
MUMBAI: An astrologist in India has predicted that Bollywood actress Katreena Kaif would not marry Salman Khan.
Heart-throb with pleasant smile, Katreena was born on July 16, 1984 in London and thus her number is seven while Salman’s number is nine.
Indian astrologist Bhawik Sanghvi said that this year would prove the best year for Katreena.
Predicting about Katreena’s personal life, he said that katreena would not marry Salman as there is not only their ideas and concepts differ but their likes and dislikes are also contradicting with each other’s.
Review in a Hurry: The guy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) believes in love while the gal (Zooey Deschanel) does not. An unseen narrator informs us "you should know upfront, this isn't a love story." Hmm, we'll be the judge of that.
The Bigger Picture: An audience favorite at this year's Sundance, the debut feature from director Marc Webb offers Tom (Gordon-Levitt) and Summer (Deschanel) as a couple of 21st century hipsters who make cute for a while and then break up. The days unfold randomly with numeric title cards announcing their progress like a relationship odometer. He's from Jersey, and she had a cat named Bruce. So at the very least there's a Springsteen connection.
Gordon-Levitt has attracted attention from films like Brick and The Lookout. With 500, he may have found the right role for his brand of passionate but downplayed reserve. While the camera clearly loves her, Deschanel plays yet another variation on her character from indie fave All The Real Girls. This makes Summer a rather impenetrable force, and after a while you might wonder what Tom finds so compelling about this ingénue. A '50s hairdo can only get you so far, after all.
Much of the script by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber is concerned with the sign-post-like connections between like-minded individuals (he sports a Joy Division T; she loves the Smiths.) Early on, Tom and Summer are shopping at Ikea and Tom makes a joke about the faucet not working in the faux kitchen. Summer ain't having it. Flashback a few months ago and the same gag makes her smile. Perhaps her mood has changed, or maybe Tom just shouldn't count on things staying the same.
Although the central premise is a tad overdone, there are many (but sadly not 500) things that go right. The story takes place in Los Angeles. It's not the La-La Land of the Westside-centric Entourage, but rather downtown L.A. This gorgeous part of the city is where our young, attractive twentysomethings actually use public transportation. Levitt's character is an aspiring architect, so cinematographer Eric Steelberg (Juno) makes the L.A. cityscape feel like a sunnier version of Manhattan's Mad Men.
The banter can be a bit self-conscious, but it's hard not to find most of it charming—like Tom's retort to Summer's declaration she does not believe in true love, "Um, it's love not Santa Claus."
The 180—a Second Opinion: If you're looking for something that's not cracking wise like Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynold's TheProposal, this might be a nice way to avoid a hot summer day. Just expect to fall in like, not love with this story.
Love Aaj Kal, Since the release of Om Shanti Om, Deepika Padukone has been seen in two more films ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ and ‘Chandni Chowk To China.’ But the leggie beauty insists that if at all there is a special movie after her debut vehicle, it has to be Love Aaj Kal.
“I’m aware of the huge expectations that audiences have from Love Aaj Kal. Personally speaking though, the film is beyond expectations for me. I would rather call it a very special film,” said Deepika.
“We all have worked so hard on it, whether director Imtiaz Ali, Saif (Ali Khan) or myself, and we have become really attached to it,” said Deepika who is currently in London shooting for Sajid Khan’s Housefull where she is paired opposite Akshay Kumar.
Love Aaj Kal is releasing on July 31 and she is excited about the film since it is as real as it gets.
“This is why I said that after Om Shanti Om if there is a film that has been really special, it is Love Aaj Kal. I can state three reasons why Love Aaj Kal really fascinates me.Gorgeous Deepika in Love Aaj Kal – Trailer
“First, the film’s storyline is such that any common man can relate to it. It’s so real and, as you watch the film, you would feel that so many instances shown in it have happened to you too in real life.
“Second, the film has a universal appeal. Whether it’s the younger or the older generation, all will be able to identify with the proceedings. Imtiaz has a knack for keeping things basic and very simple, something that the world saw in Jab We Met and Socha Na Tha. His trademark touch is prevalent in Love Aaj Kal too.”
The third reason for Deepika to be really ecstatic after shooting for Love Aaj Kal is the dialogues that promise to be as natural as they get.
“Dialogues are such that they are more of conversational variety rather than sounding scripted. Imtiaz wanted all of us to perform rather than plain and simple mug up our dialogues and rattle them down. Yes, there was a dialogue sheet given, but it was mainly for reference,” she said.It was this freedom factor that really impressed Deepika. “There was nothing cast on stone and we actors were given a free hand to mouth dialogues that came naturally to them and suited the film’s situation most. I guess this was one aspect that really made me open up a lot more during the film’s shoot.”

Katie Holmes might have gotten "happy" on So You Think You Can Dancelast night, but the fans seem more than a little disappointed.
Our comments section is exploding with your less-than-complimentary thoughts about her lip-syncing, "prancy steps" and hat-throwing. You're not alone.
Shanna Moakler was downright angry with Mrs. Tom Cruise's Judy Garland homage, choreographed by Tyce Diorio.
"I am f---n INSULTED, Katie Holmes how dare you!" she wroteon Twitter. "I didn't just grow up on musicals, I lived and breathed them, Oklahoma, Easter Parade, Family Band, don't touch my legends! ur not worthy."
Yeesh.
The former Dawson's Creeker's pals, however, have been quick to stand by her side.
"Everybody has a right to their opinion, but what she did has to be commended," her Dizzy Feet Foundation pal Carrie Ann Inaba told E! News exclusively today at an event for Broadway's Burn the Floor.
"She went out there on a show that features some of the most incredible dancers we have in America, and she went out there to show her support for Dizzy Feet Foundation and her love of dancing. And I think that's completely courageous."
Unfortunately, the Dancing with the Stars judge couldn't give us her official ruling on the performance—she was on an airplane when the episode aired.
SYTYCD judge and executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, is hopping mad at the negative reactions Holmes has received and is lashing out via Twitter.
"Why hate on Katie? She's had no dance training and did this for publicity for the charity. Everyone lip synchs when they're dancing," he writes. "I'm going to ban all the Katie haters. You make me sick. Your attitude stops 'stars' doing charity work. Understand why she did it CHILDREN."
As if the all-caps name-calling weren't enough, he calls one fan "ignorant" but then drives a very good point home with a clever analogy.
"I'm trying to figure out why Katie is being judged as a dancer," he says. "When a star throws out the opening pitch no-one says 'ooh crap pitcher!'"
Producer Adam Shankman isn't quite as outraged at the fans, twittering, "I think it's great that everyone has opinions, but be clear: Katie wanted to do something with the show for dizzyfeet foundation, but had to go to Australia to shoot a movie, so she had to pretape… Not very cool to cut her up for what she did, and when she did it."
At least one celeb enjoyed the stylized number.
"I liked Katie Holmes performance," wroteJenna Dewan, star of the original Step Up dance movie. "I thought she did great!"
Feel free to step into Inaba's judging shoes and continue to sound off on the performance. How would you rank it, 1-10?
