Report: Cocaine May Have Been Removed from Whitney Houston's Room

Posted: 23 Mar 2012 11:14 AM PDT

With the official cause of Whitney Houston's death now released -- accidental drowning due to atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use -- a new TMZ report says someone may have removed all traces of cocaine from Whitney's hotel room as a way to hide evidence.

The L.A. Coroner's Office said in their report Whitney used cocaine "immediately prior to her collapse." But investigators who arrived on scene found no traces of the white powder or any other illegal substance.

One source extremely close to the situation told TMZ that the individual who removed the cocaine was also the person who supplied it to the pop singer.

The Beverly Hills PD told TMZ the investigation is not closed, but said in a previous statement there was no evidence of wrongdoing.

Houston was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last month, and several pills were found on the scene -- including Xanax, muscle relaxants and Benadryl.

The Hunger Games Earns $19.7 Million at Midnight Screenings

Posted: 23 Mar 2012 10:23 AM PDT

The Hunger Games takes in $19.7 million from midnight screenings

The odds were always ever in Lionsgate's favor that The Hunger Games would hit big at the box office, and fans came out in droves to midnight screenings last night, to the tune of $19.7 million.

Lionsgate rolled out The Hunger Games in over 2,500 theaters for midnight screenings, and the $19.7 million take is the best ever midnight gross for a non-sequel, and the seventh best of all time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 holds the midnight record with a whopping $43.5 million last summer. The Hunger Games also out-grossed The Dark Knight's 2008 midnight tally of $18.5 million. The Dark Knight ended up breaking the opening weekend box office record that year, with $158.4 million, although that opened in the blockbuster-friendly month of July.

The Hunger Games will be released in 4,137 theaters starting today, which includes IMAX theaters. Be sure to stay tuned for Box Office Beat Down on Sunday, to see how well The Hunger Games fared.

The Hunger Games was released March 23rd, 2012 and stars Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Jennifer Lawrence, Willow Shields, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Sandra Ellis Lafferty, Paula Malcomson. The film is directed by Gary Ross.

EXCLUSIVE: Cody Simpson Talks Hop Blu-ray

Posted: 23 Mar 2012 12:16 AM PDT

Cody Simpson discusses remaking the song I Want Candy for Hop

Singer Cody Simpson talks about remaking the song I Want Candy for Hop, which arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 23.

Singer Cody Simpson, at just 15 years of age, is already drawing comparisons to another young superstar, Justin Bieber. He was discovered in 2009 after his YouTube videos went viral, and released his first single in 2010. The Australian vocalist was also asked to remake the classic song "I Want Candy" by The Strangeloves as the theme song for Universal Pictures' Easter comedy Hop, which debuts on Blu-ray and DVD March 23. Cody Simpson is also showcased on the Hop Blu-ray bonus features in All Access with Cody Simpson, which follows him during his first red carpet experience at the premiere of Hop last year. I recently had the chance to speak with Cody Simpson over the phone, and here's what he had to say.

I'm always curious about the musical side of movies like this. The movie came out last April, so when were you first contacted about performing "I Want Candy" for Hop?

Cody Simpson: I think it was around the very beginning of last year. It all came together very quickly. I was given the opportunity to remake "I Want Candy," and I put a lot of pressure on myself to make sure I lived up to people's expectations of it. It's such a classic song, and I wanted to make sure I created a new, updated, 2011 version of the track.

I thought it was really fun. It gave the song a modern spin, while still retaining the flavor of the song.

Cody Simpson: Thanks.

When you were going in, did you see anything from the movie at all, just to get a feel for the movie before you did the song? Did you see any clips or artwork or anything like that?

Cody Simpson: Yeah, I got to see how the movie looked, the animation and the whole vibe of the movie. I got to see the whole vibe of the movie, and I just wanted to make sure that I matched that, you know? I think we did so, yeah.

In remaking such a classic song like this, was there a lot of feedback from the studio about how they wanted it to sound? Were they bouncing ideas off you a lot, about how they wanted it to sound?

Cody Simpson: I had a lot of my own ideas, as well as what a lot of the producers and everyone had. I thought we mixed them together quite well.

I watched the All-Access featurette with you on the Blu-ray. I believe that was your first red carpet experience. Can you talk about what that whole day was like for you, especially having a camera follow you around the whole time?

Cody Simpson: Yeah, it was quite an experience for me. I've had many of them since then, but it was definitely something new that I had to get used to a little bit. It was kind of strange because it was just after we moved to the States, and we were getting established and working on my music.

What was it like just being so up close and personal with the fans, as opposed to going on stage and performing?

Cody Simpson: It was a new experience, and I love new experiences. It was cool. I brought along a couple of friends, a lot of family members, and we just chilled and watched the movie. It was cool being able to see the movie and hear the song.

Your career is definitely growing as a musical artist, but do you have any ambitions to do any acting? Do you see yourself transitioning into movies at all?

Cody Simpson: Definitely in the future, but not right at this moment. I want to make sure I establish this one thing first. I'll just be working on this album for a little while, making sure that I establish my musical sound and my artistry.

You have a new single out now, and a new album coming out later this summer. Can you talk a bit about how this album might be different than your previous albums, or how your style has evolved?

Cody Simpson: I'm a little more mature this time, especially with this single with T-Pain. There are a lot of dub-step elements to it. I think it's something that my fans will really enjoy, and I think it will broaden my fan base. I just hope to gain respect from a lot of people.

Are you doing a music video for that single, and have you shot it yet?

Cody Simpson: Yes, we shoot it this month. I'll be in L.A. all month working on the music video and other stuff.

I believe you'll also be touring all summer. When does that start, and who are you touring with?

Cody Simpson: I'll be touring with Big Time Rush. They asked me to be a special guest on their summer tour, so I'm doing some things with them. It should be sweet.

After this new album drops, are you going back into the studio again, or are there any other tours or projects you'll be working on after the summer tour?

Cody Simpson: Not directly after. I'll be travelling a lot internationally this year, as well as doing a lot of promotion here in the States. Yeah, I'm just looking forward to a great year.

What would you like to say to fans of yours about why they should check you out on this Blu-ray featurette?

Cody Simpson: Yes, definitely. Honestly, I just think it's an incredible movie. It's a movie for the whole family, not only the kids, but the adults. You have Easter coming up, so it's the perfect timing, I guess.

That's about all I have. Thank you so much, Cody

Cody Simpson: Thank you very much. See you later.

You can watch Cody Simpson on the All-Access featurette in Hop, which debuts on Blu-ray and DVD March 23.

Hop was released April 1st, 2011 and stars James Marsden, Russell Brand, Kaley Cuoco, Hank Azaria, Gary Cole, Elizabeth Perkins, Hugh Laurie, Tiffany Espensen. The film is directed by Tim Hill.

House at the End of the Street Jennifer Lawrence Photo

Director Mark Tonderai gave a little more insight on the above photo, saying that Jennifer Lawrence's character has made a surprising discovery.

"She's basically managed to get into Max's house, waiting for his character, and she's made a discovery there about his family and is trying to hide before her presence is detected."

The director also shed some light about the murder which lies at the heart of House at the End of the Street.

"Since he lives in this house and is driving down people's home values, he's very ostracized in this town. The murder was committed by his sister, and she disappeared into the woods. There's this rumor she still lives in the woods. People have seen her, and she's insane. But is she out in the woods? And if she is, how does she feel about her brother getting involved with somebody else?"

House at the End of the Street comes to theaters September 26th, 2012 and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Max Thieriot, Elisabeth Shue. The film is directed by Mark Tonderai.
