Remixes are nothing new for Linkin Park ... "Reinterpretations" are. So that's what they're calling the songs on the upcoming RECHARGED album, a collection of dramatically re-worked tracks courtesy of Steve Aoki, Pusha T, Rick Rubin and Tom Swoon. The new album is most definitely LP's most audacious and adventurous to date. Though, as frontman Chester Bennington explained, he and his bandmates see it as less of a reinvention, and more of a logical extension of the territory they've explored on their last two albums, A Thousand Suns and LIVING THINGS. Truth be told, that progression actually began when Linkin Park released LIVING THINGS, as they offered free remixes to fans who bought the album through their official site. After reaching out to a host of artists, they began stockpiling tracks, some of which finally see the light of day on RECHARGED.

James Blunt is staging his own war against Twitter trolls, by personally seeking them out to expose them. The singer says he will often re-tweet and respond to people who post negative comments on the social networking site, who he believes try and hide behind the anonymity they think their computers give them. His tactic has earned him extra praise on the site, for using humour to respond to abusive posters and reveal the type of comments he receives. Some of his best replies include: “Yes. He could start tweeting you. RT @MigsterMMA: Jesus christ, James Blunt's got a new album out. Is there anything else that can go wrong? And: “Good sense of perspective there. RT @RobMakin: James Blunt's back with a new single! This may be the worst thing that's happened in my life.”

Eccentric vegan songstress Fiona Apple is currently touring with a unique concept show titled 'Anything We Want,' dual-billed with her longtime guitarist Blake Mills. Appearing on stage silently at the Colonial Theater in Boston on October 23, Apple begins by aggressively, even rhythmically, scrawling the words "Teach me how to be free" onto a chalkboard. What follows is a delightfully bizarre and intimate stage show that, despite a consistent setlist, feels refreshingly spontaneous. Rather than having Apple and Mills perform separate sets, the two banter and shift between each others' songs, often lending vocal harmony during their time outside the spotlight.

Nathan Sykes finally confirmed his hotly rumoured relationship with Nickelodeon star Ariana last month after sparking speculation following a duet with the teen star. But keen to reassure his worried fans that his new doe-eyed state won’t see him leaving The Wanted to pursue a solo career, he declared his sole focus is the band. ‘I am so focussed on The Wanted right now,’ Nathan told Bliss magazine. ‘It’s all about The Wanted. Always has been, always will be.’ Nathan teamed up with Ariana earlier this year for duet Almost Is Never Enough, which featured on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones soundtrack.

There were rumors floating around about Cody Simpson getting a little too flirty with Justin Bieber's reported girlfriend, Jacque Pyles. Cody said he's known Jacque for years now and is really happy his buddy Justin finally found a girl he likes being around since his breakup with Selena Gomez! "I saw [Jacque] a couple of weeks ago. I’ve known her since I was 13 — for like three or four years now," Cody said. "We used to be good friends and I guess she’s with Justin and that’s really cool — I'm friend of his too. So, it’s cool to see them hanging out."

Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is on her first space shuttle mission. She is accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), who is on his last mission. The two astronauts are tasked with repairing communication panels during a spacewalk.When a Russian satellite explodes nearby, sending speeding debris towards them, they are forced to make an emergency evasive maneuver that leaves Stone hurtling into space and their shuttle in ruins. With fuel and oxygen rapidly running out, Kowalsky must rescue his partner and reach a neighboring space station before the lethal wreckage circles the Earth and destroys their only chance at returning home.

This movie grabs you by the throat and thrusts you into the action like no other movie in recent memory. They make you have this urge feeling how terrifying it would be to be lost in space. Not only did the movie look tense, but also breath-taking. Never have I felt the sheer terror, the utter horror of the events that unfolded on the screen before me as if I were right there experiencing it. The claw marks will likely remain upon the seat I occupied for quite some time as I felt like I was holding on for dear life for the entire movie. Intense, engrossing, visually impressive and persistently memorable. Gravity met my expectations in every way. This reminds us why we love going to the movies so much, to experience something unlike anything we've seen before. This groundbreaking movie has set high expectations for not only it's realistic visual effects but it's cinematography and vivid emotion. I expect this movie to become a classic for generations to come and will never be forgotten.

I personally am convinced no other actress could have pulled this off like the endearing Ms. Bullock and I'd be very surprised if she wasn't nominated for an Academy Award. She is front, center and everything this movie is about. She did not lose her sense of humor when we also needed it. Although not having a lot of screen time, George Clooney delivers a note-worthy performance as Matt Kowalski, the astronaut on his last space mission before retirement. He also tells some amusing stories about his past. He provides the comic relief.

"Gravity" might as well be declared the Best Picture of this award season already. As of now, it can already be considered a lock for the big prize because of its audacity of scope, its technical excellence, its memorable performances, and above all, its images full of artistry and symbolism.
