Earlier this year Bob Dylan made headlines after it was reported he had to run his set list and lyrical content by Chinese government officials for a tour of the country. Dylan posted a message on his site stating that "nobody ever told me about it and we played all the songs that we intended to play."

Canadian alt-country band Cowboy Junkies had a much different experience during a recent concert at a Beijing music festival, though. Their performance came with a few alterations, including changing the translation of the group's name to something a bit more palatable for authorities.

"Our Chinese name is now Cowboy Fan," wrote guitarist Mike Timmins on Sunday, June 5, in a lengthy blog post.

  • The Gangster Squad Signs Anthony Mackie

    Posted: 10 Jun 2011 10:46 AM PDT

    Anthony Mackie joins The Gangster Squad

    Actor Anthony Mackie has joined the cast of The Gangster Squad for director Ruben Fleischer and Warner Bros.

    Anthony Mackie will portray former LAPD lieutenant Rocky Washington, although it isn't known how large the role is. The project is based on the true story of an elite LAPD unit trying to keep out East Coast mafia clans from invading the City of Angels. Sean Penn is set to play LA gangster Mickey Cohen, while Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, and Michael Pe&#241a will play members of The Gangster Squad.

    Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less) is directing from a screenplay by former LAPD officer Will Beall. The script is adapted from a seven-part series of Los Angeles Times articles written by Paul Lieberman. It isn't known when production will start on The Gangster Squad.

    We reported back in April that Anthony Mackie was offered a role in The Gangster Squad, although he was also offered a World War Z role at the same time. It isn't known if Anthony Mackie turned down the World War Z part or not, although it is possible he could take on both roles.

    The Gangster Squad is in development and stars Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Michael Peña, Anthony Mackie. The film is directed by Ruben Fleischer.

When quizzed on whether or not he knows Carrol Ferris becomes Star Sapphire in the sequel, Reynolds quickly replied: "I'm not throwing that out there at all!" "There's such a rich history with this character, so you get really excited about the possibility [for a sequel]," he continued. "The inevitable war between Hal and Sinestro is something that will have to be dealt with in the second movie for sure, but there's always subplots and a lot of other interesting things going on that are setting up a possible third film, so..." "Like the war between Star Sapphire and..." interjected Lively. "Oh, I was talking about Pokemon and Pikachu,

    Dick Tracy Sequel in the Works

    Posted: 10 Jun 2011 10:12 AM PDT

    Warren Beatty reveals a Dick Tracy sequel may happen

    Actor/director Warren Beatty screened his 1990 comic strip adaptation Dick Tracy last night in Hollywood, where he revealed a sequel is still in motion. Here's what he had to say at the Q&A session following the movie.

    "When you're really doing good work is when you don't know you're working, and when something just occurs to you, and you go, 'Oh, of course.' I think it's dumb to talk about movies before you make them. I just don't do it. It gives you a reason to avoid making them.""

    Warren Beatty declined to provide any plot details, casting possibilities, or a timeline when we might see a Dick Tracy sequel go into production. He also said a new remastered Blu-ray of Dick Tracy is in motion, although he wouldn't say when that would hit the shelves.

    We reported last month that Warren Beatty prevailed in his lawsuit against Tribune Co. over the movie rights. Warren Beatty, who starred as the title character and directed Dick Tracy, acquired the rights to the comic strip from Tribune in 1985. The contract stated that movie rights would revert back to Tribune Co. if he wasn't using them for a movie or TV project.

    Warren Beatty produced a TV special for Turner Classic Movies in 2009, which featured the actor in full costume as Dick Tracy. The presiding judge ruled this special was adequate grounds for Warren Beatty to retain the Dick Tracy movie rights. It seems now we know why he wanted to hang on to the property.

    clickHere for the full article, which includes Warren Beatty reminiscing about making Dick Tracy.

    Dick Tracy was released June 15th, 1990 and stars Warren Beatty, Charlie Korsmo, Michael Donovan O'Donnell, Jim Wilkey, Stig Eldred, Neil Summers, Chuck Hicks, Lawrence Steven Meyers. The film is directed by Warren Beatty.

    In the Flesh

    Alyson Mischalka took a modern approach to the recurring Grecian goddess trend by selecting a draped evening gown from Ramy Brook in a soft, peach color.
