People: Off or on? Mags split on Timberlake, Biel - AZCentral.com

Posted: 01 Oct 2009 12:37 AM PDT

Creating the illuminated manuscript for today's gossip post is especially difficult as two camps argue over whether Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel should be pictured chastely holding hands while seated on the A-List Throne or casting one another into the swirling Pit of Potential Celebrity Hook-Ups.

Celeb-friendly People magazine insists the pair are still together, quoting "sources" who say the two have not been seen together lately because of conflicting work schedules. To bolster its claim, People adds that the two were photographed together Monday on a Northern California getaway.

But Us Weekly quotes a "mutual pal of the pair" who says the couple's "three rocky years" together concluded about a month ago when Timberlake ended things with Biel over the phone. The buddy says Timberlake was clearly on the prowl while showing his William Rast clothing line in New York City during September's Fashion Week.

Bummer, man

Ang Lee baffled about why Young America refused to see his film about that one concert their parents refuse to shut up about:

Attending the Hong Kong premiere for "Taking Woodstock" recently, the Taiwanese director said he's not sure why the film tanked, the Associated Press reports.

"I'm not sure why. I think the movie is quite good. I'm very proud of it. Maybe people wanted to see the actual Woodstock festival, or maybe Woodstock isn't attractive to youngsters," Lee told reporters.

The Focus Features comedy, which chronicles the buildup to the 1969 rock and roll gathering that drew half a million fans, had earned $7.4 million in the U.S. as of Monday, according to the box office-tracking Web site Box Office Mojo. It's Lee's worst outing at the box office for an English film since "Ride with the Devil," which made $635,096.

Suspect taught Judd's kids

A man who home-schooled Wynonna Judd's children has been arrested and is facing federal child pornography charges, reports News Channel 5 in Nashville.

Scott Myers had worked as a teaching assistant and camp counselor before being hired to home-school Wynonna's two children, a son and daughter ages 14 and 13.

According to Channel 5, agents seized 3,000 electronic images of children engaged in various sex acts from Myers' apartment. And investigators say Myers confessed in an Internet chat-room to engaging in sexual activity with four boys who lived in the immediate area.

Judd said in a statement: "I am thankful for the work of the federal and local authorities who brought this to our attention. Their efforts have made my family and our community much safer."

Court reports

And now, your guide to celebrity restraining orders:

• Rachael Kneeland, the estranged wife of Troubled Actor{trade} Eddie Furlong says in a restraining order she has obtained against him that the actor recently threatened suicide and was placed under psychiatric lockdown. The couple have a 3-year-old son.

• A judge this week granted a three-year restraining order against a man accused of stalking "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge, calling evidence presented against him "disturbing," the Associated Press reports.

New Sony PS3 Game Set To Debut In Movie Theaters - Redorbit.com

Sony Corp plans to unveil a new game title for its Playstation 3 game console at movie theaters next month, Reuters reported.

Four theaters in San Francisco and Thousand Oaks, California, Rosemont, Illinois and Bellevue, Washington, will give moviegoers a chance to play the upcoming action game "UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves" on October 5 and 6, using movie screens equipped with Sony digital-projection technology.

PS3s will be connected to screens supporting Sony's 4K digital cinema technology, which is in about 500 theaters nationwide. Sony says the theaters provide better image resolution than traditional projectors.

Events like this could eventually drive revenues for Sony, video game makers, and theater operators, according to Mike Fidler, senior vice president of Sony Electronics' Digital Cinema Solutions and Services Group.

He believes it could be the start of something big for the company and they hope they can build it into a standard element in the movie-going experience.

"Our goal in converting theaters to digital is to go beyond the traditional movie-going experience and focus on helping exhibitors find ways to fill seats. Gaming will be an important part of that equation," said Fidler.

After kicking off with a private invitation-only event on the first night, the second event will be open to the public and publicized through radio and social networking sites.

As home entertainment and the recession has kept many moviegoers in their own homes, theater chains have struggled to sustain revenue growth. Sony and many other game console makers are hoping for a hit title this holiday season to drive platform sales.

Research group NPD reported that sales of video game equipment and software in the United States fell 16 percent in August to $908.7 million, marking the industry's sixth consecutive monthly decline.

As a response, both Sony and Microsoft Corp, the maker of the rival XBox 360, have recently slashed prices on their consoles to spark more console sales.
