"Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch Could Be Turned into Teen Music School"

Michael Jackson's famous Neverland Ranch in California could possibly continue the late King of Pop's love for music and the arts.

Colony Capital owns the massive property and hopes to turn the sprawling estate -- which previously included a zoo and theme park complete with a Ferris wheel, rollercoaster, and railroad -- into a Juilliard-like school for teens sharing a passion for music. (The Juilliard School, located in New York City, is a famous college known around the world for its drama, dance, and music programs.)

But turning Neverland -- where MJ lived for 17 years -- into a thriving music campus where teenagers can flourish in the arts isn't a done deal yet.

What's the hold up? Santa Barbara County officials will need to give their approval before plans move ahead for the new school.

It's also not known yet whether or not the campus will include Michael's name as a tribute to the former owner and music legend.

"Paramore Loses Two Founding Band Members"

Paramore have announced that guitarist Josh Farro and drummer Zac Farro, two founding members of the band, have left the group. However, the decision didn't come as a surprise for Hayley Williams and the rest of the band.

"A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday," Paramore wrote on their website. "None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore. We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn't here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere."
Fans need not worry about the future of the group. In a tweet on Sunday, Hayley wrote: "Paramore is (still) a band." Then on Tuesday she confirmed the news by adding, "Unfortunately, they both did leave. I know it's getting hard to keep up with all the rumors. The Internet is a scary place."

According to their post, the remaining three members are committed to making music and are looking forward to seeing their fans on tour next year: "We really hope that you can be encouraged by the fact that the three of us who are still here are ready to take on another chapter of our journey together. You have always been what keeps us going so why would we stop now? We want to stick by you."

What do you think of the departure of the Farro brothers? Are you bummed? Do you think Paramore will be just as good, if not better, without them? Or are you worried that their sound might change? Let us know what you think in the comments.

"Justin Bieber Song 'Ride' Leaks on the Internet"

Last week, Beliebers got an early Christmas present when a new Justin Bieber song leaked on the Internet. The tune is called 'Ride' and follows the online leak of 'Latin Girl,' which hit the Web in late November.

Fans speculated that 'Ride' may be an album track off of the 16-year-old's forthcoming CD, but unfortunately, that's not the case. "It's a demo that he wrote for another artist," a rep for Justin told Billboard.com.
Despite how the lyrics in the YouTube video read, the track is sung from a female perspective, supporting the rep's claim. "I could be your queen, but you could be my boo," Justin croons in the first verse.

The love song continues to talk about a special someone and wanting to do fun things together. "I wanna ride / I, I wanna ride / I wanna ride / I, I wanna ride with you," he sings in the chorus.

Some say that 'Ride' is an old recording, since it's sung in a higher key and Justin's voice as deepened over the past year. Listen to the full track below. What do you think of the song? Should Justin use it for his own album? Or would you rather hear a female artist sing it?

And Here's The Video Lyric!

"2010 Best Movies"

Each year, hundreds of Hollywood movies always circulated to various theaters around the world. Some this. Unfortunately it but various considerations make it not all films imported to our country. Of the many films are released throughout 2010, most deserves a two thumbs while some others probably did not offer anything. Good and bad of a movie is very dependent on the taste, but apart from that, we tried to present the ten films that it seems worthy of the nickname the best movie this year. Who are they? Consider just the following list.
1.Toy Story 3 
Once again, Woody and his friends to prove their supernatural powers. Although twice already produced but not yet seem to TOY STORY drought of ideas. This third part was still fresh with the story idea that is a bit mellow. The theme is familiar with everyday life, TOY STORY 3 is apparently well-deserved award as best film to this year. Not only from the side of the story, animation and sound filling was really good. Despite tight competition with several other animated films, it's not an overstatement if TOY STORY 3 is placed on top of the stairs.
2.Inception
If you ask, what makes the movie so Inception so phenomenal this year, the answer can vary. Some say that this is because the prestige of Christopher Nolan while others may be captivated by the story ideas that are fresh. Apart from that, Inception's got the right mix. In addition to support first-class actors and actresses, this film also has a story that is interesting. No it's useless if Nolan 'bury' this story for almost ten years. The film of this one was steady.
3.Tangled
Formula movie for the family was still able to sell and Disney knew exactly how to mix a film worth watching as a family. With a fairly simple concept and the old story wrapped with a new touch, so it was an interesting spectacle. But that's not just what makes this so TANGLED film could enter this year's best film category. Animation is smooth and steady voice as well be one key to his success. One more animated movies that deserve to be a spectacle for the whole family. 
4.The Ghost Writer
The title is scary but is not thought there will be a ghost in this movie, or at least not in the literal sense. When I heard the name Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor referred to as the main cast alone is almost certain that THE GHOST WRITER is going to be a satisfying spectacle. Nothing wrong with it because the film is the theme of political intrigue is indeed thrilling. Film director Roman Polanski was not carelessly be feasible if the
film managed to get a thumbs-up.
5.Despicable Me
Although DESPICABLE ME is the first attempt of Universal Studios to make animation film but the result is quite satisfactory. One reason is the initiator of courage in making a different concept. What is different? DESPICABLE ME dare lift antagonist as the main character but this movie is a movie that is targeted to families who in fact is always fixated on the concept of right and wrong and good-bad.
6.Harry Potter 7 Part.1
Portray characters in the Harry Potter series clearly has not a problem for Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Three young actors had been playing their respective characters since ten years ago. So, about the acting seems to no longer need to be discussed. Apart from acting factors, other sectors were in fact did not disappoint. Ranging from cutting off the last part of this decision into two parts, directing to the visual effects division is working effectively. As a result, an entertaining spectacle although to get the maximum satisfaction seems we must be patient until the second part played.
7.How To Train Your Dragon
Create a visualization of a story that already exists is relatively simple but also has its own challenges. Fortunately, DreamWorks is not a new player in the affairs of the animated film. With a story that was already solid and animators who know exactly what they should do, probably not too difficult to produce film-quality animation. Plus the selection of an appropriate voice actors, complete weapons DreamWorks prepared this time.
8.Oceans
The funds are large, sophisticated equipment and an appropriate theme can not be used as collateral for a movie would be fine. Artistic touch, vision and dedication of the director, too, determine the outcome of a movie. OCEAN is an example. With funds of over 60 million Euros and was filmed in 50 different places with long working more than four years, coupled with dedication and vision of Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud as a director, the result was amazing. Rarely is a documentary film that could really afford to make the audience did not move until the film end up like this OCEAN.
9.Shutter Island
If you are lover of Hollywood movies, the name of Martin Scorsese is definitely not a familiar name. The work of director of this one was always amazing and SHUTTER ISLAND is also not the exception. Beginning with the selection of appropriate materials and then recruit a reliable writer also makes the foundation of the film is pretty solid. Furthermore, his vision pour Scorsese lived through the choice of actors who are playing nicely in this movie.
10.The Social Network
Biopic is not easily made. Many factors make a movie of this genre tend to be boring, but not this one. Why? Many factors make it an interesting spectacle. First obvious because prestige up while other factors are more towards the quality of the movie itself apparently did not disappoint. Mark Zuckerberg's own life story is interesting to note but it will not be able to make THE SOCIAL NETWORK is one of the best films this year if not for some things such as preparation of the script, directing and acting, of course, his supporters, especially Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, who indeed satisfy.
That all movies are totally 100 % awesome. Keep it up all.....
