In House With The Wilderness of Manitoba: The Canadian Band Share Northern Secrets

Damon Dahlen, AOL

In House is AOL Music's series in which we welcome artists into our offices to play some music, chat with our staffers and, generally, just hang out. For our latest visit, we sat down with Canadian crooners the Wilderness of Manitoba to discuss their album 'When You Left the Fire.'

On a late October afternoon in New York, the Wilderness of Manitoba set out to teach a few pasty music nerds about the joys of Canada. "We just got the internet," multi-instrumentalist Scott Bouwmeester jokingly tells Spinner about his native country. "There's a lot of good things on there." A long way away from their home in Toronto, the band stopped by our Manhattan office to share a few tunes from their newest album 'When You Left the Fire,' available now via tinyOGRE. But before they struck their first somber chord, constant touring had given the five-piece a few lingering questions about the US of A.

"There are weird wars between certain states. Like Missouri and Kansas don't like each other," singer Melissa Dalton says after touring the Midwestern states. "Well, I grew up in the Balkans, so I'm kind of used to that. So it's not really new," banjo player Stefan Banjevic chimes in assuredly. "Yeah, the Kansas/Missouri feud is exactly like the Balkans," Bouwmeester sarcastically retorts.

THE AVENGERS Star Robert Downey Jr. Defends His Upcoming Slate of Big Blockbuster Films as Character Pieces

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 10:11 AM PST

Robert Downey Jr. is currently in Brazil promoting his new movie Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, which is yet another big blockbuster Hollywood movie that the popular actor has put out in the last few years. The actor has gone through a huge revitalization to his career ever since Marvel put him in the Iron Man suit. Since then he has been one of the hottest actors, and big name directors like Tim Burton are clamoring to have him in their next film. Google Translated: Five years ago, who did not identify themselves when they think of Tony Stark, because all comic book artists changed the character. I'm glad that fans can identify with me. The sure things that I have right now are Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. I haven't seen The Avengers but we worked hard in bringing all these heroes together. I hope people like it. There may be

FAN MADE: A Gay Stormtrooper Love Story In Short Film LOVE WARS

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST

This impressive short film from Vincente Bonet Martinez focuses on a pair of love-struck Stormtroopers meeting in secret as a battle rages outside with the Rebel Alliance. It's interesting not just for it's premise, but also some nice dialog as both Troopers exchange views on why the Rebels are such "angry men". It's also pretty funny in places. The vid is tiny so be sure to click in the corner for full screen. One thing though..aren't all of the Stormtroopers clones? Hmmmm.. up your game at Gambling Insider

James Tupper Seeks 'Revenge' at The Grove!

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 11:36 AM PST

Actor James Tupper visited The Grove and talked with "Extra" correspondent Renee Bargh about his hit ABC show, "Revenge."

Tupper plays David Clarke, the deceased father of Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), a girl looking to exact, you got it, revenge for her father's death.

The star explained, "I'm the good guy in a sea of bad people. I've been wrongly accused of a crime I didn't commit - and I appear in flashbacks because I'm dead."

As for seeking revenge in real life, Tupper admitted, "There are a few people I'd like to get revenge on. I don't recommend it unless you really have no other choice."

Tupper would rather spend time with his fiancée, Anne Heche. "It would be fun to marry, but we've made a commitment to each other. We have kids together."

Speaking of his kids, does he let them watch the show? "My 9-year-old watches, but I cover his eyes. I know the script so I know it's coming. He's crazy about it. That's all they talk about in his 4th grade."

Tune in to watch Tupper in "Revenge" every Wednesday at 9:00 PM on ABC.

Here's a sneak of tonight's episode!

Everything's Rosy for Rosie O'Donnell & Fiancée

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 11:26 AM PST

Stepping out together for the first time since their surprise engagement, Rosie O'Donnell and Michelle Rounds appeared together at the National Board of Review Awards in NYC, looking very happy.

"Extra's" AJ Calloway caught up with O'Donnell to talk about her wedding plans.

Rosie, who plans to tie the knot this summer, admitted she didn't realize getting married would be such a challenge. "Apparently, you really need to book your wedding years in advance in Manhattan."

She explained her lack of preparation, saying, "If you grow up a gay girl -- and you know you're gay from the time you're 12 -- and you're 50 now, you didn't really picture the wedding."
