Before you can see it on the big screen in front of Man Of Steel, why not get an early look at the trailer for the epic second chapter of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy!

Not only does this mark the return of our beloved elf hottie Orlando Bloom, but also his possible lady love played by Evangeline Lilly! And oh yeah- a freakin' DRAGON!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to get your first look at The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug!

One Direction is determined to take a firmer hand on themselves. Er, on their career!

The boys have just signed publishing deals with Fingate to help them make royalties from their own songwriting.

1D have gotten some co-writing credits on a few songs, but they're eager to start writing for themselves completely! A source says:

"This is a real statement of intent from the band. They have absolutely no intention of being spoon-fed pop puppets. They want to write and they want to earn as individuals."

Wait, as individuals? That's right! The band members signed their own individual publishing deals! No more 5-way split!

This means if Niall Horan writes the next big single, he will earn many times what the rest of the band does!

Oh no! Some One Directioners are more equal than others?? It's like they're following a recipe to create a rift!

We just hope they all turn out to be as amazing at penning the songs as they are at performing them!

Conquering Earth just isn’t enough for this kid. He’s planning a space takeover.

Justin Bieber and his agent Scooter Braun have reportedly signed up for a suborbital flight in space! The news comes from Virgin’s founder, Richard Branson, who tweeted the following:

While the star has yet to confirm the news, he has, however, retweeted Richard’s mention.

The trip on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo rocket plane would take the Biebs over 62 miles in altitude, during which he and the fellow passengers would enjoy a quick glance of the Earth in orbit before heading back.

According to the SETI Institute’s Seth Shostak, Justin’s trip could be a very good idea in garnering needed attention and funds — just think of the marketing and PR campaigns! He said:

"My suggestion is, be sure to send Justin Bieber on one of these flights early on. If there's more interest, there are more customers. If there are more customers, there's more technical development. It's a positive feedback loop, and obviously that's good."

Costing upwards of $200,000 to $250,000, the ride seems to be in JB’s price range, as well as other celebs who have signed up; this list includes Ashton Kutcher, Sarah Brightman, and Victoria Principal. Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie have allegedly booked their ride as well.

The Biebs…in space…with other A-listers…

Yeah, okay. We're a little jelly, but talk about one seriously memorable trip!

OMG! It's finally over! Completely, for realz, totes over!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries reached a divorce agreement back in April, but nothing's over until it's over, and this wasn't over until Monday night!

That's when the Los Angeles Superior Court finally put the period on this dark, combative period by entering a judgment declaring the couple's 72-day marriage legally kaput.

And not a day too soon if what we're hearing about Kim's plans to marry baby daddy Kanye West are true!

Not to mention being done in time for the arrival of little Kali. Or Kalista. Or possibly Kameron. Whatevs, before the Kimbryo becomes a Babye!

Think she’s trying to tell us something?

Despite him appearing happier around Jay-Z than his baby-momma, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian paraded their love as they stepped out in New York City on Tuesday.

And even though we don't see smiles here, their love held strong — literally — as they walked hand in hand to get a bite to eat at a local hotel. Gotta feed the baby bump!!

This is their second sighting in two days. Definitely making it seem like they're still hot and heavy!!

Perhaps Kanye's six month paternity leave had something to do with it…

Oh, money — you slippery slope! Everybody wants you, but when they finally get you they just want you even more!!

A bitter battle is being fought behind-the-scenes in Hollywood right now and Iron Man 3 is caught in the crossfire!!

Disney (owners of Marvel) is fiercely renegotiating contracts with movie theaters exhibiting their films, but the company is using the Robert Downey Jr. & Gwyneth Paltrow summer blockbuster as a bargaining chip to do it!!

AMC, Regal, and a other huge theater chains are pissed because they feel like they've been extorted — now they're pushing back he only way they know how!

They're refusing to pre-sell tickets to the film!

IM3, which may very well be 2013's biggest film, opens in 17 days, but exhibitors are so pissed at Disney's unscrupulous tactics that they're refusing to pre-sell any movie tickets!!

Yikes!! What happens if they never come to terms?

Will theaters refuse to screen the movie all together?

Whatever the beef is between these two sides, we hope they roll it up into a patty and slap it on a George Foreman soon because we just want to see our sweet Summer flick!

We give U cash and U give us explosions, buttery delicious popcorn, and RDJ's HIGHlarious one-liners — it's a time-honored tradition, guyz, don't over think it!
