Justin Timberlake rekindles his love affair with music on The 20/20 Experience. JT brings back the sexy synergy with production gurus Timbaland and J-Roc - "Tunnel Vision," "Spaceship Coupe" and "Don't Hold the Wall" are at once primal and futuristic pop excursions.

About the film
Taylor Lautner stars as a young man unwittingly thrust into a deadly world of covert espionage in Lionsgate's action-thriller, ABDUCTION, directed by John Singleton.
For as long as he can remember, Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) has had the uneasy feeling that he's living someone else's life. When he stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a missing persons website, all of Nathan's darkest fears come true: he realizes his parents are not his own and his life is a lie, carefully fabricated to hide something more mysterious and dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). Every second counts as Nathan and Karen race to evade an army of assassins and federal operatives. But as his opponents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he'll survive Ã'¢â‚¬" and solve the mystery of his elusive biological father Ã'¢â‚¬" is to stop running and take matters into his own hands.
ABDUCTION stars Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello, Denzel Whitaker, Michael Nyqvist and Sigourney Weaver. The film is directed by John Singleton and written by Shawn Christensen. Lionsgate presents, a Gotham Group / Vertigo Entertainment / Quick Six Entertainment production, a Lionsgate Production, in association with Mango Farms.

http://twitter.com/abduction Although you rarely hear racial insults on Main Street these days, there's a place where unashamed bigotry is all too easy to find: tossed off in the comments sections of some of the Internet's most popular websites, today's virtual Main Street.
Internet anonymity has removed one of the strongest barriers to the type of language that can ruin reputations and end careers. Racist messages are a small percentage of the wild and woolly web, but they stick out since they are rare in person — and they raise a host of questions.
Do these comments reflect a reversal of racial progress? Is that progress an illusion while racism thrives underground? What kind of harm are these statements doing? Could there be any value in such venting? And what, if anything, should a free society do about it?
"We've seen comments that people would not make in the public square or any type of civic discussion, maybe even within their own families," said Dennis Ryerson, editor of The Indianapolis Star. "There is no question in my mind that the process, because it's largely anonymous, enables people who would never speak up on Main Street to communicate their thoughts."
At the newspaper's website, moderators delete individual racist comments that are brought to their attention, and will take down a whole thread if such comments persist. On some stories that are expected to provoke racism, the entire comments section is disabled beforehand, a practice shared by a growing number of newspapers.
On a single day recently, racially offensive online remarks were not hard to find:
In a comment on a Yahoo News story about a black civil rights era photographer revealed to be an FBI informant, someone called blacks farm animals who "were not and are not wanted in this society."
Another commenter wrote, "We all know who MADE America what it is today, and we also know which group is receiving hefty tax dollar pay outs... so until the tables turn the only thing you should be saying is 'thank you' to all the hard working (whites) who gave you the life you now take for granted."
Black racism was evident, too. One person on the site wondered if the FBI beat information out of the photographer: "You know how white people do." On a BlackVoices.com story about two black sisters jailed 20 years for an $11 robbery, someone used several crude epithets to suggest that the judge was a white racist.
A USAToday.com story about demographic changes in the nation's kindergartens turned into open season on Latinos. "Go to any ER, school, jail and see first hand what race is over consuming precious US resources?" one comment said. Another complained in ugly terms about Latino birthrates.
Some believe such comments indicate that racism has not declined as much as people may think. Joe Feagin, a sociologist at Texas A&M University, said a study he conducted of 626 white college students at 28 institutions revealed thousands of examples of racism in "backstage," all-white settings.
Are these comments cause for alarm?
"Like the loudest ambulance siren you've ever heard," Feagin replied. "All this stuff was already there. It's just the Internet has opened a window into it that we normally would not have had."
Linda Chavez, chairman of the conservative Center for Equal Opportunity, says racist comments come from a "very small but often vocal minority of people. Most Americans do not like this type of coarse race hatred."
Chavez has received plenty of racist comments in response to her online writings. "My sense, based on their grammar and spelling, is they're not the people who are hiring. These ar   MARIO’S “BREAK UP” TAKES UP THE #1 SPOT ON THE URBAN MAINSTREAM CHART
BRAND NEW ALBUM D.N.A. SET FOR OCTOBER 13TH RELEASE
New York, NY " Multi-platinum R&B heartthrob Mario and his summer smash hit “Break Up” claims the #1 spot on this week’s Urban Mainstream Chart. The video for the hit single remains a top 5 favorite on BET’s 106 & Park, peaking at #1 for several days last week. With sells of over 40,000 ringtones per week, “Break Up” is #4 on this week’s Ringscan chart, joining the top 5 along with Drake’s “Best I Ever Had,” Jason Aldean’s “Big Green Tractor,” New Boyz “You’re a Jerk” and Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed.” The success of “Break Up” paves the way to the October 13th release of Mario’s brand new album D.N.A.
Described as a collection of songs that characterize the make up of the now 22 year old Baltimore native’s life, D.N.A. resonates with topics of love, relationships, and heartbreak; replete with a versatile yet distinctive Mario sound that critics and fans have grown to adore. A-List producers and writers delivering top notch production include Sean Garret & Bangladesh, Jim Jonsin, Tricky Stewart & The Dream, Babyface, Stargate, LOS Da Mystro, Rico Love, Harold Lilly & Elvis Williams, The Runners, Eric Hudson, KP and Malay.
Mario came to acclaim at the age of 15 when he released his self-titled debut in 2002 which spawned the Top 10 single “Just a Friend (2002).” His follow-up album, 2004’s Turning Point, featured the mega hit “Let Me Love You,” which skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for five weeks, propelling Turning Point to worldwide double-platinum status and earning Mario two Grammy nominations and two Billboard wins. Mario’s December 2007 release of Go marked his third Top 5 debut on Billboard’s R&B Album chart and featured the hit singles “How Can I Breathe” and “Crying Out For Me.”  | Posted by marshall

 In the past 30 days, 26% of online Americans have streamed a full-length TV show and 14% have streamed a full-length movie, according to recent data from Ipsos MediaCT's MOTION study, writes MarketingCharts.
This is more than two times the levels measured in September 2008, and indicates that - fueled by ad-supported websites that make it happen - streaming is growing quickly in popularity, the study found.
Young Adults Stream Most
Not surprisingly, the research found that young adults, ages 18-24, have been the most ardent supporters of streaming. In the past 30 days, 30% have streamed a full-length movie and 51% have streamed a full-length TV show. Both numbers represent significant increases over last year.
Website Growth Fuels Trend
The rapid rise in longer-form video streaming is happening because of the swift growth of many digital video websites since last year. Hulu, in particular, has experienced heightened exposure and visitation, and has helped pioneer the transition to ad-supported free streaming of TV shows and movies, Ipsos said. However, now that the ad-supported content model appears to be gaining acceptance, content providers will need to understand the appropriate level of advertising that streamers will be willing to tolerate for their content.

UrbanMainstream.com  Today, Facebook is launching a new “Live Stream Box” feature which allows for Facebook Pages to offer their own live video and chat area. And Ustream will be the first to take advantage of it with Ustream on Facebook, a new service to provide live video support to select Facebook users.
This functionality is an extension of what Ustream and Facebook did with some Jonas Brothers concerts last month " events which drew huge numbers. How huge? This huge, according to Ustream:
* 1.5 million unique posts were made via Facebook Live Feed
* 23K average posts per minute
* More than 100K users joined the webcast after seeing their friend’s comment on Facebook
* 974K total unique viewers watched the one hour webcast
* Ustream reports the Jonas Brothers webcast on Facebook surpassed the largest live video event they have hosted for any music artist
So clearly, there’s a big demand for certain live events via Facebook, and Ustream is jumping on it, as Facebook’s preferred partner.
Apparently, how this will work is that on Facebook Pages there will now be a way to add a “Live” tab, which will house things such as the Ustream on Facebook feature. Previously, beyond the Jonas Brothers, Facebook has tested this with CNN and the NBA All-Star game. Here’s what Facebook has to say:
