It’s time for the Nikita finale (thankfully we’ll get a season three!) which means it’s time for me to again say something: Shane West is an amazing actor. Possibly the most underappreciated actor on television. So in honor of his big night tonight, I give you ten of his best moments – as Michael and otherwise.

EastEnders legend June Brown has denied rumours she is leaving the soap for good.
The 85-year-old veteran actress, who is currently on a six-month break from playing Dot Branning in the BBC show, previously hinted she may not return to her famous role.
According to The Sun, she said: “My contract ended and I want to do something else. As an actress, you don’t want to always plod away at the same thing. I don’t know how long I will be out. I have no idea if I will go back.”
But her agent AIM insisted: “June Brown is taking a break from EastEnders as she has done before. She will be completing her autobiography, and intends to return to EastEnders in the not too distant future.”
An EastEnders spokesperson added: “June is currently on a filming break but will be back.”
Viewers will see June’s final scenes as chain-smoking Dot this week before she heads off on her screen hiatus.
June has played the character since 1985, and following a four-year break in 1993, has continued portraying her from 1997 onwards.

Rihanna's film debut is a memorable one. The Barbadian singer is wet for much of Battleship, her Navy uniform is uncommonly flattering, and the majority of her dialogue is composed of exclamations. It's a veritable master class in one-line utterances. Most of her lines fall into one of several categories: sassy ("Get up, princess!"), confused ("What the hell is that?") or surprisingly competent ("Contact two miles out.") But enough of this. Let Rihanna speak for herself.
So has anyone actually seen this domestic flop yet?

Bono, that guy from U2, is set to become the world’s richest musician in the world when Facebook’s IPO starts trading tomorrow, NME reports. He will overtake Paul McCartney (that guy from the Beatles) and will likely commemorate the occasion with a very heartfelt “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!”
The Irish singer owns 2.3 percent of the Facebook shares after having purchased them at $90 million in 2009. Now that the company is worth over $100 billion, Bono will be worth more than $1.5 billion. Meanwhile, McCartney is just over worth a measly billion dollars.

London house producer Maya Jane Coles began DJing at the age of 17, before she was old enough to enter a night club. The 24-year-old’s rise to prominence has been impressive to watch, from providing remixes for everyone from Little Dragon and house legend MK, to being hailed as “breakthrough DJ of 2011″ by Pete Tong, and contributing to institutions like BBC’s Essential Mix and the respected DJ-Kicks series, which was released in April.
Coles took time out from working on her forthcoming debut LP to put together a pretty rad 25 minute mini-mix, exclusive to Spinner/RPM, featuring Soulphiction, Homeboy, Pig & Dan and more.
“This mix was just a personal insight into the music that inspired me at that moment,” Coles explained. “I didn’t want to use obvious stuff. I was lucky enough to get to use some amazing exclusives, alongside some tracks that had been released already but initially may not have got the attention they deserved.”

The Hollywood actor and Men In Black Star, Will Smith, 43, was approached on the red carpet at the premiere of new movie Men In Black 3 in Moscow.
Will was accosted by Ukranian prankster Vitali Sediuk who gave him a hug before attempting to kiss him.
A surprised Will Smith pushed Sediuk back before slapping him in the face. Sediuk made two attempts at kissing Will on the lips both of which the actor dodged. Will then told those around him that ?He tried to kiss me on the mouth. He?s lucky I didn?t try to sucker punch him. Sorry, I said that on camera.?
Sediuk may be a popular prankster in Russia but he clearly didn?t impress Will.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The charges: tedium, long-windedness, philosophical unpleasantness
Save yourself 1,000 pages, kids: basically, it’s all the poor people’s fault! Life lessons learned right there!
~
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
The charges: awful, awful prose
Actually, one good thing about calling The Da Vinci Code to mind is that doing so also calls to mind this fairly spectacular take-down of Dan Brown’s prose. We’re perfectly aware that Brown has spent the last decade laughing en route to and from the bank — that still doesn’t make The Da Vince Code any more worth reading.
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
The charges: self-indulgence, cloying sentimentality
Break-ups are horrible. There’s no two ways about it. Sadly, not all of us have benevolent publishers to send us off on a global jaunt to inflict our angst on the unfortunate residents of countries whose names happen to begin with “I.” (Although, judging by the appearance of “EAT PRAY LEAVE” signs in Bali of late, there are more Gilbert-esque types out there than we might like to imagine.)
State of Fear by Michael Crichton
The charges: tinfoil hattery, dubious science
As far as learning about the issues surrounding climate change goes, we suggest that a novel whose underlying premise can be summarized as “LA LA LA IGNORE IT AND IT’LL ALL GO AWAY” is perhaps not the best place to start.
Piers Anthony, generally
The charges: rampaging sexism, general creepiness
Flavorpill has a confession to make here: we were quite big fans of Piers Anthony’s fantasy production line in our early teens, but while he’s got a way with a narrative, he’s also got a way with spectacularly over sexism. Revisiting his work, it’s remarkable to see just how objectionable his depictions of women are (especially in the never-ending Xanth series) — they’re almost inevitably either ingenuous sex objects, or nasty deceptive tricksters who are ugly to boot. And then, of course, there’s his hugely creepy 1990 novel Firefly, where, amongst other things, a five-year-old girl gets it on with an adult man. Ewwww.
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
The charges: ghastly self-help simplicity
Want to know the secret? Lean close, now. We’ll whisper it quietly. You ready? You sure? “THERE IS NO FUCKING SECRET! LIFE IS DIFFICULT. SORRY.” There. Now, let’s never speak of this again.
Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar
The charges: privileged Upper East Side ghastliness, being responsible for the TV series
Things we have never really understood about TV/film/literature/etc include: the appeal of depictions of the apparently oh-so-dramatic lives of self-absorbed, overprivileged and fundamentally tedious rich people. Sigh.
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
The charges: ubiquity
Actually, in fairness, there’s nothing especially wrong with this. It’s just that if we see one more dishevelled businessman reading it avidly on the subway, his face lit with the glow of hope that maybe just a little Jobsian stardust might somehow sprinkle onto his next start-up idea, we’ll dissolve into a puddle of existential despair once and for all.
Dollhouse: A Novel by Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian
The charges: its authors
Have we read this? No. Come on, gentle reader — we can only put ourselves through so much on your behalf.
Mission Earth (Volumes 1 to 10) by L Ron Hubbard
The charges: general awfulness, Xenu, etc
And finally, where to begin with this? Wherever you stand on the “Is Scientology a religion or a dangerous cult?” debate, the fact is that while L Ron proved disconcertingly successful as a “religious” leader, he proved rather less so as a prose stylist and storyteller — unless 1.2 million words’ worth of garbled, homophobic rantings about an imagined dystopian future are your idea of a good time, in which case strap yourself to the e-meter and get reading.

In tonight’s season 2 finale, Nikita (Maggie Q) finally confronts Percy (Xander Berkeley), but things do not go as planned.
Danger From All Sides
Nikita and Michael (Shane West) are still trapped inside Division thanks to the lockdown, but it does not take them long to find one another. Meanwhile, Percy tells his agents that Division has been breached and anyone who kills Michael and Nikita will be rewarded. At the Farm, Sean (Dillon Casey) and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) survive their gun-battle with the Alpha team only to have the marines show up. They have to lay-low to avoid detection, as the marines do not know the difference between Nikita’s people and the actual bad guys.
The President makes a press statement announcing that he is pulling his support from the peace treaty and Percy is pleased, especially when the gentleman tells him that he has been admitted into the man’s group. Percy is less pleased to see the marines, but he manages to convince his agents that he called them in to prevent Team Nikita from escaping.

EastEnders has cast David Witts to play villain Derek Branning’s son Joey.
Derek will be forced to face up to his past when Joey arrives in Walford. Joey turns up in Albert Square hot on the heels of his sister Alice, having been sent by their mother to tempt her back home.
When Joey realises that Alice has no intention of leaving, he resolves to show her the type of man Derek really is.
Joey is being described as a charming character who “prides himself on telling it how it is, but is in fact a compulsive liar”.
Newcomer Witts said: “I am delighted to be joining EastEnders after being a fan for so many years. Joining the Branning family couldn’t have come at a better time, especially after the recent British Soap Awards wins.”
EastEnders’ executive producer Lorraine Newman added: “Joey is a fantastic addition to the Brannings and after an explosive entrance onto the Square, he is set to break a few hearts as he campaigns to bring Derek down.”

EastEnders character Janine Butcher, who is played by Charlie Brooks, will reportedly go into labour three months early – on her wedding day.
According to the Daily Star Sunday, Janine fears she will lose the baby when she collapses in agony and starts bleeding as she weds Michael Moon.
An EastEnders insider told the newspaper: “This is Janine’s wedding so it had to be big. Ever since she inherited her gran’s money she’s become the most powerful and richest woman in Walford.
“Janine has spent loads on her big day, making sure everything is the best money can buy. This has left Michael feeling inferior and as we’ve already seen, he’s turned back to his dark side.
“He’s been conning money out of Jean Slater, getting her to trust him and there is lots more between these two coming up, which all comes to a head on his wedding day.
“All hell is going to break loose. There’s also the small matter of Jean’s niece Kat Moon coming back soon. There’s no way Michael would’ve been able to manipulate Jean the way he has if she’d been around.
“We’ve already filmed the wedding and the fans can expect high drama, lots of emotion and one or two surprises. People will be shouting at their TVs for Janine not to marry Michael.”

Patsy Palmer is aware that her EastEnders alter-ego may be written out in the future.
The 39-year-old actress, who is taking a six-month break from mouthy market seller Bianca Butcher, acknowledged that writers may make the decision to axe her character from the BBC soap one day.
“I’m really grateful that I’ve got such a good job, but at the same time I don’t get paid for not going to work so in effect I’m losing out on six months worth of wages,” she said on This Morning.
“You never know when they’re going to do that on EastEnders. Obviously some amazing characters have been written out or died. They haven’t written me out yet, but you never know.”

EastEnders’ Roxy Mitchell faces fresh heartbreak next week as she continues to harbour feelings for Alfie Moon.
Roxy decides that it’s time to move out of the Queen Vic in the coming days following a chat from best friend Christian Clarke. However, she is given fresh hope when a lonely Alfie tells her that he doesn’t want her to leave.
The pair share a moment as they chat at the antiques emporium before Alfie suggests that they should meet for a curry later, which will allow them to “be lonely together”.
Roxy is excited about spending more time with Alfie and won’t listen when a sceptical Christian warns that the pub boss doesn’t love her. Instead, Roxy insists that there is definitely something between them.
At the same time, however, Alfie has been arguing with Kat over the phone and Jean intervenes by letting Alfie know that his wife misses him terribly.
Realising that Kat needs him, Alfie decides to put his partner first and heads off to visit her – while a snubbed Roxy is left waiting alone at the Argee Bhajee. Will she realise that Christian was right all along?

For Americana, Neil Young‘s first album with the band Crazy Horse in nearly nine years, the singer-songwriter revisits classic American folk songs and delivers the tunes, which encompass familiar protest songs, murder ballads and campfire songs, with electrifying ferocity. In spite of — or perhaps because of the approach, the universal appeal of the songs is neither lost nor diminished and they retain their relevance in these challenging times.
“Clementine,” the oft-sung tale of a grieving miner, which has become a popular children’s song, is believed to be based on a 1863 song titled “Down by the River Liv’d a Maiden,” by H.S. Thompson. However, Neil writes in the Americana liner notes that the song is usually credited to Percy Montrose or Barker Bradford from about 1884.

It?s been a tough couple of weeks for us wondering whether or not Lauren Goodger would be returning to The Only Way Is Essex.
When the show returned after a short hiatus this week we thought all would become clear but alas no mention of the reality star was made.
But today an official statement has been released from the show saying the following: “We have all worked together to resolve the issues and can confirm that Lauren will be returning to TOWIE.”
Yay! Or maybe it?s a bit of nay for some of you. To be fair the show hasn?t been lacking in drama since she left but you can?t beat a bit of Goodger, can you?

Van Halen singer David Lee Roth didn’t waste much time stopping the band’s concert a few days ago in Winnipeg to chew out a fan for throwing garbage onstage.
As shown in a quick YouTube clip, the group was performing a cover of the Roy Orbison hit “Pretty Woman” when Roth was walking back to center stage at the MTS Centre when what looks to be a plastic bottle or cup is thrown from the crowd, missing Roth’s leg.
“Wait a second, wait a second,” Roth says before getting the group to stop the song. “Don’t throw your garbage up on stage, throw your girlfriend asshole.”

it’s called To The Wonder
Before the lineup for this year?s Cannes Film Festival was announced, many were hoping that Terrence Malick?s romantic drama starring Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams (previously referred to as The Burial) would be among the films set to premiere. Given that he just released The Tree of Life last year, it would have been an unprecedented move; the average time between the release of Malick films is 7.6 years (yes, I did the math). However, the director has become surprisingly prolific as of late, lining up two new films to shoot this year. He filmed the romantic drama in 2010, but he famously spends years shaping his films in the editing room.
The Cannes lineup announcement came and went with no mention of Malick, but today we?ve got some news that provides hope for those wishing to see the film sometime this year. Not only does the film now have a set title of To the Wonder, it has an official rating of R. Hit the jump for more, including story details.
The official Classifications & Ratings Administration has revealed (via The Film Stage) that To the Wonder is rated R for ?some sexuality/nudity.? This rating falls in line with the synopsis that was revealed late last year:
?It concerns a philanderer (Affleck) who, feeling at loose ends, travels to Paris, where he enters a hot-and-heavy affair with a European woman (Olga Kurylenko). Said Lothario returns home to Oklahoma, where he marries the European woman (in part for visa reasons). When the relationship flounders, he rekindles a romance with a hometown girl (McAdams) with whom he?s had a long history.?
Mr. ?gorgeous photography? Malick is taking on the world of s-e-x. I’ve been looking forward to this one for quite some time, in part because Malick has assembled a top notch cast. In addition to Affleck, McAdams, and Kurylenko, the film also stars Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, Barry Pepper, and a possible brief appearance by Jessica Chastain and/or Michael Sheen. This rating and title mean that the director has finally put the finishing touches on the project, and once he secures distribution we could hopefully see the film in theaters later this year. Producers will most likely be shopping the film at the Cannes Film Festival, so we hopefully we?ll have distribution news to report in the next two weeks. Stay tuned.

Marion looked glamorous in a black Christian Dior Couture ball gown after stepping out earlier in the afternoon in a pink dress for a photocall. Eva Longoria, who is attending the festival on behalf of L’Oréal, was also on hand this evening in a sexy white Emilio Pucci following a rooftop photo shoot this morning.

The triple dose of new Community episodes to end season 3 is almost upon us, and to prepare for a long summer without the Greendale 7, let’s take a look back at this distinctive season so far. From an abrupt winter hiatus that provoked the comedy’s many cult-like fans to some experimental risks (even for Community), this season has certainly been interesting. Pierce became less of an outcast, Troy and Abed engaged in civil war and Britta became the worst. There were documentaries, unexpected deaths and the divergence of multiple timelines. Basically, it got weird, but in a good way.

EastEnders legend June Brown has denied rumours she is leaving the soap for good.
The 85-year-old veteran actress, who is currently on a six-month break from playing Dot Branning in the BBC show, previously hinted she may not return to her famous role.
According to The Sun, she said: “My contract ended and I want to do something else. As an actress, you don’t want to always plod away at the same thing. I don’t know how long I will be out. I have no idea if I will go back.”
But her agent AIM insisted: “June Brown is taking a break from EastEnders as she has done before. She will be completing her autobiography, and intends to return to EastEnders in the not too distant future.”
An EastEnders spokesperson added: “June is currently on a filming break but will be back.”
Viewers will see June’s final scenes as chain-smoking Dot this week before she heads off on her screen hiatus.
June has played the character since 1985, and following a four-year break in 1993, has continued portraying her from 1997 onwards.

It looks like Shona McGarty won’t be leaving Albert Square anytime soon as Eastenders bosses have dismissed claims that she is quitting the hit TV soap.
Earlier this week, it was indicated that the actress wants a break from her role as Whitney Dean to pursue a singing career.
The rumour mill was sent into overdrive when McGarty told the Daily Star newspaper: “I love Motown music and singing has always been a passion of mine. It’s a real dilemma as I love acting but I also want to sing. I want to do something with music.”
However, in a recent interview with Digital Spy an Eastenders representative confirmed that McGarty won’t be departing the show anytime soon saying: “There is absolutely no truth in the report that Shona has quit EastEnders.”
McGarty has been playing Whitney since 2008.

Hip-Hop Rumors: J.Cole Says Too Many Rappers “Fighting For Attention” On Twitter
“I’m not on Twitter no more, I’m not doing it and I’m not going to. I’m sitting and on watching all these artists who I respect — some of them are big artists — on Twitter fighting for attention. Every tweet is like, I’m looking for attention. Retweet me! It comes from this place of fear, like I don’t want people to forget about me. But really your body of work speaks for you, so it’s doing work even when you’re not knowing it. But because people ain’t talking about you on Twitter or your mixtape ain’t trending, you feel a certain kind of way. But when it’s my time, I’m gonna load up all my clips and I’m gonna empty ‘em out.”
I think J.Cole may have a point.
