Repo! The Genetic Opera
Darren Lynn Bousman (the Saw series) directs this twisted tale set in 2056. Organ failure is rampant, and the company responsible for the transplants isn't acting out of altruism. If someone misses a payment, Repo Men come to reclaim what belongs to the company. For his horror-infused opera, Bousman assembles a varied cast: SPY KIDS' Alexa Vega, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER's Anthony Head, horror legend Bill Moseley, Paris Hilton, and singer Sarah Brightman.

Paris Will 'Repo' Your Heart!!
Good morn to all! Recently some pictures just popped up on the web that could only be from one film: Darren Lynn Bousman’s Repo! The Genetic Opera. How do we know that they could only be from Repo? Well because they’re in the Repo! Photo Album on Paris Hilton Online! Yeah I know, I’m a regular Sherlock. Either way, these pics aren’t very gory (blood red burgundy doesn’t really compliment the pink-everything appeal of Paris’s site) but they’re definitely worth checking out if you’re in

Sibling Rivalry Gets Bloody in New Repo! Clip [Repo The Genetic Opera]
newVideoPlayer("/repo_markitup.flv", 500, 280,""); We’ve already seen the making of video for “Mark It Up,” one of Repo! The Genetic Opera’s whopping 57 musical tracks, but the finished product gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of organ factory GeneCo. In this tragically Anthony Stuart Head-free clip, we meet stab-happy Luigi Largo (frequent horror player Bill Moseley) and his lady face-wearing rapist brother Pavi (Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy). The pair toss organs, skewer and molest the fe

“Guitar Hero: World Tour” Unveils Full Track List
Guitar Hero: World Tour has finally released its full track list.

All the songs are original master recordings. There’s karaoke favorites like the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and, for the true axmen, virtuoso songs like Jo

Jack and his mother Sharon are financing and executive producing the project, which Jordan Tappis is writing and Mike Piscitelli is directing.

Despite Repo! The Genetic Opera's sad theatrical fate, Darren Bousman is pushing on, and we encourage you to do the same and show your support.
Today a new poster came down the tubes for the horror musical, and it begs the question, "Who wouldn't want to see it if they saw that artwork hanging in the local theatre?"

News Bites: Director Natalie Portman, Ozzy, God & Gambit
Almost a year ago, Natalie Portman whipped up her own shingle and started to look into making Amos Oz's A Tale of Love and Darkness. She was hoping to get Jake and Maggie's mom, Naomi Foner, to pen it. Things have changed a bit since then, as Variety reports. The project is still in the works, but now Portman is planning to film it in the novel's original language -- Hebrew.
If no one is making a documentary about your family, make it yourself! Variety reports that Ozzy's son, Jack Osbourne, is whippi
New mother Myleene Klass: 'I only get four hours sleep a night'
Classical music may have suffered from a rather stuffy image in the past but Myleene Klass has done her best to dispel that theory.
The former Hear'Say singer stole the show as she arrived to present the nominations for the Classical Brit Awards last night.
The 30-year-old dazzled the crowd in a beige figure-hugging Reiss dress and matching Louboutin shoes.
She was joined by a host of other glamorous stars from the classical music world including Andrew Lloyd Webber's ex-wife Sarah Brightman, Na
Random Notes: Britney, The Jonas Brothers and the Week in Rock
The Video Music Awards always bring out the biggest stars and music and usually brings together some odd pairings. Case in point: Disney’s past and present collided when Britney Spears met The Jonas Brothers. But even people away from the VMAs managed to come together under strange circumstances, as Ozzy Osbourne ended up lunching with Speidi and a nutty Canadian guy’s shoulder met up with Noel Gallagher in Toronto.
