'Potter' film tops bloopers list

Eagle-eyed filmgoers have named and shamed the newest Harry Potter release as the most error-filled movie of 2009 so far.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth instalment of the wizard franchise, was released to North American theatres less than two weeks ago on July 15 but has already notched up a whopping 57 mistakes, each detailed on website MovieMistakes.com.

In one scene, Rupert Grint's character Ron Weasley can be heard speaking but his mouth doesn't move, while in another, Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter appears with a windswept and messy hairstyle just seconds after his locks were neatly combed.

The number of blunders means the latest Harry Potter movie is leading a list of the year's most mistake-ridden films, toppling Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which was littered with 53 bloopers.

“The Simpsons” Adds Coldplay’s Martin to List of Musical Guests

Over the past 20 seasons, The Simpsons has recruited the biggest names in music to guest-voice on the show, and Season 21 will continue the tradition: EW’s Hollywood Insider reports Coldplay’s Chris Martin will lend his voice to an upcoming episode. Martin and Coldplay will appear as themselves as Homer Simpson, after winning the lottery, hires the band to play a private performance for himself and Bart. “When Bart goes to the bathroom, Coldplay has to stop,” Simpsons executive producer Al Jean told EW.

One of The Simpsons‘ first musical guests was Michael Jackson, who guested — under the alias of John Jay Smith — as a mental patient named Leon Kompowsky whose convinced he is Michael Jackson. Jackson also had a hand in penning two songs that featured on The Simpsons, “Do the Bartman” and “Happy Birthday, Lisa.” (On the Sunday following Jackson’s death, The Simpsons reaired the “Bartman” video, and followed that with Jackson’s Kompowsky episode the following week.)

Green Day played a large role in The Simpsons Movie, performing the show’s iconic theme song and ultimately getting killed after playing a concert that kick-started the film’s garbage-fueled plot line. The show has also featured appearances by three Beatles: Ringo Starr, George Harrison (in the Homer’s Barbershop Quartet episode) and Paul McCartney, who along with his wife Linda taught Lisa about the wonders of being a vegetarian.

Episodes have also featured U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Who, R.E.M., Phish, Sting, the Ramones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Blink-182, David Byrne, the White Stripes (more on that here), Aerosmith as endorsers of “Flaming Moe’s” and Johnny Cash as a Guatemalan Insanity Pepper-induced coyote that talks to a hallucinating Homer. But perhaps the most memorable music-related episode of The Simpsons was “Homerpalooza,” which featured appearance by Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Cypress Hill and Peter Frampton.

Bruce Springsteen Playing All of “Born to Run” in Chicago

A source close to Bruce Springsteen has confirmed what two Chicago newspapers (the Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune) are reporting: that Bruce and the E Street Band will perform their landmark 1975 album Born to Run in its entirety when the tour touches down at the city’s United Center on September 20th.

It’s unclear whether the band plans to do any full-album performances on other dates on the tour, like Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe and more bands have been doing recently. Last year Springsteen performed Born to Run and Darkness On The Edge of Town at a fundraiser show at New Jersey’s Count Basie Theater. Earlier this year Rolling Stone magazine asked E Street guitarist Steve Van Zandt what album he’d like to perform straight through. “It’s gotta be The River,” he said. “I’d want to include the outtakes on the Tracks collection. Then you have a hell of a show. You don’t have to do anything else.”

Completely unsubstantiated Internet rumors that should be taken with a huge grain of salt claim that Springsteen will do one album a night during his five-night stand at Giants Stadium this September and October. But in the off chance the rumors are true — and based on very little (but our Springsteen intuition) — we predict he’ll do Greetings From Asbury Park, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, Born To Run, Darkness On The Edge Of Town and Born In The USA.

Springsteen, who turns 60 in September, was recently asked by Italian Vanity Fair about his plans beyond this tour. “I think that the E Street Band will probably take a rest for a little while,” he said. “But it all will happen again. We’re lifers, we’re gonna go on forever.”

Jamie Bamber is coming to Joss Whedon's 'Dollhouse'

It's a "Battlestar Galactica" reunion, courtesy of our boy, Joss Whedon.
"BSG"'s Jamie Bamber will guest star in the season premiere of "Dollhouse" and his character will not only share scenes with Eliza Dushku's Echo, but with fellow "BSG" alum Tahmoh Penikett (Paul Ballard) as well.

Per FOX, Bamber's role has him heavily involved in an engagement that Echo and Ballard are assigned to.

Heavily involved, hmm?

Will he be an ally or foe?

Whatever the case, Apollo and Helo sharing the small screen once again? We're good with that.

Mariah Carey, Diddy, Lil Wayne Albums Delayed

Some of the most highly-anticipated albums of the summer have been delayed, including Mariah Carey's "Memoirs of An imperfect Angel," Sean "Diddy" Combs' "Last Train To Paris" and Lil Wayne's proprter rock and roll album "Rebirth."

Carey's "Memoirs," first slated for an August 25th release via Island Def Jam will now be available on September 15th according to the Universal Music Group business-to-business website. Carey's new single, "Obsessed," is at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

Combs said via a video interview with MTV News release last week that his project's been delayed partially because it's "Jay-Z time and Drake time -- enjoy those guys. But the 'Train' is coming, baby," he warns. "Get your ticket, you don't want to be left out."

Lil Wayne's label publicist confirmed to Billboard.com that his release date has also been moved, although a new date hasn't been scheduled yet. "Rebirth" was last slated for a June 23rd street date.

In addition, Amerie's long-awaited return, "In Love & War," which was originally slated for an August 11th release, will now be available on September 8th. Lead single, "Why R U," reaches No. 62 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week.
