Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson apprently still have it going on after a romantic New Years Eve spent at a house party in Les Fez.  The couple seems to have plans to settle down in the new year and spend some more quality time together.

Despite arriving separately and sitting apart at the BAFTAs ceremony on Sunday night Pattinson  later revealed all. Accord

Six months after “Friday Night Lights” executive producer Peter Berg confirmed plans to make a film adaptation of the NBC series, a screenplay is almost complete.

Berg told MTV News at a recent Toy Fair preview for his action flick “Battleship” that Jason Katims showrunner for the Dillon, Tex., drama is “about done” with the script.

The plot is apparently based on Texas Tech Coach Mike Leach, who was fired for allegedly mistreating a player suffering from a concussion. The next step, apparently, is getting Kyle Chandler, aka Coach Taylor, and Connie Britton, aka Mrs. Coach, to commi

NEW YORK—Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) was remarkably prolific, composing about 75 operas in his short life, including the tragic “Lucia di Lammermoor” and the comic operas “L’Elisir d’Amore” and “Don Pasquale.” “La Fille du Régiment” (“Daughter of the Regiment”) is a comic gem that returns to the repertory only when an opera house can find singers up to the task. 

Luciano Pavarotti was hailed as “the king of the high Cs” based on his performance of the Act I aria “Ah, mes amis, quel jour de fete! (Ah, my friends, what a day for ce

Instantly rendering Mitt Romneys weekly Ray Conniff Record Party residency sort of old-fashioned, Barack Obama has become the President of Spotify, expanding his already-considerable online presence to an account with the popular music streaming service. The announcement was made via Obamas Tumblrwhich, like his Instagram, is not a jokeand came complete with the Presidents first-ever official playlist, featuring selections from his 2012 campaign staff as well as a few of Obamas favorites.

Of course, the playlist doesnt say which among the following songs are actually Obamas jams , which of them are songs chosen specifically for their reelection-evoking titles or to pander to as broad a heartland audience as possible , or who the hell put Ricky Martin on there.

Opera star Joyce DiDonato has big plans for New Year’s Eve.

“I am coming back from the dead,” says the mezzo-soprano, “and will end up glowing with resplendent youth.” That trumps watching the Yule Log flicker on TV.

But to be clear, the makeover DiDonato describes happens to Sycorax, the evil sorceress she plays in “The Enchanted Island” at the Metropolitan Opera.

The new production premiering on Dec. 31 is modeled after festive musical entertainments of the 18th century. It features arias

A concert promoter says country music legend Merle Haggard was hospitalized with an undisclosed illness this week in central Georgia.

Promoter Mike Blackwell tells The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that a Wednesday night concert in Columbus, Ga., has been canceled. He said the 74-year-old Haggard was hospitalized in Macon because of an illness.

Music shops used to be about more than just selling songs. They were places where people could come and chat about what made music great. There was one place in particular, a record shop in Mill Valley, California, where top artists would come to chat and collaborate. Among them were Jerry Garcia, B.B. King, Elvis Costello, and (although not a musician) George Lucas.

The shop closed its doors in 2007, as have many other music shops across the United States. Filmmakers Gillian Grisman and Monroe Grisman are now documenting its story in “Village Music: Last of the Great Record Stores.”

“This film will preserve a very unique and important slice of Americana music history. It’s

IF you haven’t had a chance to catch Kiwi drama Nothing Trivial yet then make sure to tune in this week.

The fact that it out-rated Packed to the Rafters in New Zealand, if nothing else, should peak your interest. The show’s New Zealand debut in July also had the highest ratings of a locally made series in more than 10 years.

The hit series follows five mates who meet at their local watering hole each week for a trivia quiz.

“The quiz questions tend to relate with what’s going on in their lives,” said star Shane Cortese, whom viewers might recognise from Outrageous Fortune, another successful Kiwi TV export.

Cortese’s character Mac is at the centre of the series.
