Cameron Penning "Avatar" Prequel

At a Tuesday night reception in New York City, director James Cameron confirmed the buzz that he's writing a novel based on the story of his box-office-record-setting film, "Avatar." And he believes the book may, in some respects, be even more successful than his movies have been. Why?

"There are things you can do in books that you can’t do with films," Cameron explained.

The director said he first thought of penning the "Avatar" novel during filming of the breakthrough film: "I told myself, if it made money, I’d write a book." "Avatar," of course, did make money. A lot of it. At last count it had made more than $2.3 billion worldwide.

Cameron said the book will go into much greater detail about the worlds and "interior monologues" of the characters he created.

Before Cameron clarified his plans the Internet had been ablaze with rumors of an "Avatar" book based on comments made by "Avatar" producer Jon Landau. The producer also hinted that the story of Pandora and its blue-skinned people will also have a sequel – or sequels, plural.

"Jim's going to write a novel himself, based on Avatar," Landau revealed to MTV, saying that Cameron's vision of the book "is a big, epic, story that fills in a lot of things that we won't have time to do in the movie; maybe even in sequels."

Landau continued: "I think it would be something that leads up to telling the story of the movie, but would go into much greater depth of all the stories that we didn't have time to deal with."

Cameron himself, in a January interview with MTV, discussed the possibility of a sequel. "I have a trilogy-scaled arc of story right now, but I haven't really put any serious work into writing a script."

For the miniscule number of you who haven't yet seen "Avatar," the film takes place on the aforementioned Pandora, which is a moon that orbits a gas planet, Polyphemus. Until the news of a prequel, speculation has focused on sequels that could take place on the other moons that orbit the gas giant.

Ricky Hatton’s fiancee Jennifer collapses in tears as he suffers brutal knock-out in Las Vegas

As her man lies unconscious on the canvas just yards away, the worry and distress of Ricky Hatton’s fiancée Jennifer Dooley is all too plain to see. Seconds earlier, the former college lecturer let out an ear-piercing scream as the Mancunian boxer was floored for the third and final time by Filipino Manny Pacquiao. Miss Dooley, 27, was comforted by Jenna Coyne - the partner of Hatton’s younger brother Matthew, who had earlier won a points victory on the undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, after seeing the British world champion knocked out in the second round.

It’s a knockout: British boxer Ricky Hatton loses out to Filipino Manny Pacquiao in the second round Wearing a close-fitting red dress, Miss Dooley gripped the back of the seat in front of her for support before turning to Miss Coyne with her hand over her mouth in horror as Hatton, nicknamed The Hitman, remained flat on his back on the canvas for three worrying minutes. Hatton’s mother Carol also looked on concerned as medics helped bring him to his senses. Pacquiao, known as Pac Man, felled Hatton with a brutally quick left hook to the chin. Referee Kenny Bayless didn’t even bother to count before stopping the fight with just a second of the round remaining.

He had landed just 18 punches on his opponent, compared to Pacquiao’s 73. Celebrities including Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington and British boxer Amir Khan were at ringside for the fight, dubbed The Battle of East and West’. Comedian Russell Brand was seated next to rap mogul P. Diddy at the junior welterweight title match band the unlikely pair were later joined by superstar Jay Z. 33-year-old Brand looked slightly starstruck as he was introduced to the rapper, who attended the fight without his wife Beyonce.

Hugging it out: Russell and his date look on as Jay Z hugs his pal P. Diddy Singer Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary last week, were also among the stars to watch Hatton lose out to the Filipino at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as well as Chelsea Footballer Joe Cole and girlfriend Carly Zucker and actor Jack Nicholson. Brand and Diddy, who are set to star together in the movie Get Him to the Greek, appeared to be getting on like a house on fire during the match. The defeat cost Hatton his IBO World Light-welterweight title and left many in the sport - including Hatton’s trainer Floyd Mayweather - urging him to quit. But the boxer’s father, Ray, who was also at ringside, said any decision to retire would come from the fighter alone.

Enjoying the action: Actors Denzel Washington (left) and Jack Nicholson Hatton Senior said his son was ‘perfectly all right’ after undergoing hospital checks but admitted the boxer’s long-term future was now in doubt. ‘Obviously we will support him in whatever he does, Ray Hatton said. ‘And we’ll leave that with him. ‘At this moment in time he’s probably got a few mixed feelings about it. He’ll make that decision whichever way he wants to and the family will support him. I don’t think he would let anybody make that decision for him.’ Miss Dooley left her job as a lecturer at Manchester College of Art and Technology to support Hatton ahead of his only previous defeat, to Floyd Mayweather Junior in December 2007.

Jetting in: Joe Cole and girlfriend Carly Zucker headed to Vegas for the showdown.

Please Boycott Boyet Fajardo RTW Labels

Last March 13, 2009, Filipino Fashion Designer Angelino Boyet Fajardo created a scene, to the shock and horror of shoppers and employees of Duty Free Philippines alike, when a cashier politely asked for his ID after presenting his unsigned credit card. This is a standard operating procedure applicable to all stores to verify ownership of the credit card and prevent fraud.

Suddenly, the designer reportedly got furious and, at the top of his voice, started berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free Philippines. He might have thought a celebrated person like he is, with all his accolades and fame, has gone unrecognized by the cashier. A new well-trained casual worker who is carefully doing his job. The designer further shocked bystanders by cursing the people there with words such as leche and p...ina, while angrily expressing surprise why the people there did not recognize him.

Store managers and officers were sought to appease the matter, explaining to him that it is all included as a standard operating procedure in credit card payment for the safety, not only for the company but also his own. Ignoring all this, he pulled out his phone and threatened to call on high positioned government officials whom he allegedly knew, like doing a power-play to make these people realize how important he is. He went on saying "Mga leche kayo! Hindi niyo ako kilala? Ako si Boyet Fajardo! At itong p...ina na babaeng ito (pointing to a lady officer) at ang baklang ito (pointing to the cashier) ay walang kwentang mga tao! I want them fired!!!"

His yelling and berating went on and on. He cannot calm down and as he appeared to have bloodshot eyes, like that of a drunk person and or under an influence. He threw his passport on the cashier's face and later intentionally stepped on the cashier's foot to say "Ay sorry, di ko sinasadya!" He goes on to say, that only if the cashier kneel down before him and/or allow him to freely slap the cashier's face, may he get satisfied.

The ill-fated cashier, with all the onlookers watching, stand down and just simply gave in to probably he thought would end the matter. Crying in shame he slowly knelt down and apologize (for actually doing his job) before this self proclaimed GOD, perhaps for fear of loosing his job. No slapping was made to the cashier's face but the incident landed a harsher and reverberating sound to the faces of the lesser people of this society.

Fortunately, his inhumane acts were caught on CCTV in which a portion was featured in YouTube.

With such disrespect, discrimination and humiliation towards a good worker, a less fortunate person and a fellow Filipino...

1. We are calling all citizens to stop patronizing Boyet Fajardo's RTW labels such as Substance in SM department stores, Boyet Fajardo and Initials in Landmark and Robinson's department stores.
2. We are calling on all malls to pull out or stop distributing his products in your outlets.
4. We are calling on the Commission on Human Rights, Department of Labor and Employment and all human rights and labor activists to take appropriate legal actions on this matter.
5. We are calling all foreign embassies to deny him of entry to your respective countries.
6. We are calling on the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines to dishonor him of his membership and profession.

...To give him a lesson and to help us stop him from victimizing the underprivileged over and over and over again.

Master Rapper Francis Magalona passes away at 44

MANILA, Philippines - Master Rapper Francis Magalona, 44, passed away Friday. Vic Sotto confirmed the news over GMA's noontime show "Eat Bulaga" and asked for a minute of prayer for the eternal repose of the singer-composer's soul.

A doctor at the hospital who requested anonymity told reporters that Magalona succumbed to multiple organ failure "secondary to severe sepsis and secondary to pneumonia."

Magalona is survived by his wife Pia Maria Arroyo-Magalona and his eight children, including celebrity Maxine Magalona.

Magalona's battle with the illness was made public last year.

The 44-year-old singer-composer told the Philippine Entertainment Portal in December 2008 that he survived a delicate medical condition days before he was dispatched from a hospital.

"Akala ko kasi magki-Christmas ako sa ospital, e, [I thought I would spend Christmas in the hospital] because I had a very, very, very close brush with death last December 4. I went into septic shock and it was a very scary moment," he said in an earlier interview.

It was announced last year that Magalona was scheduled for a bone marrow transplant.

"My doctor said I'm in remission right now after my third chemo cycle. So, my next move would be to do the bone marrow transplant and I'm very happy to announce that I was able to find a match. One of my sisters from the States we have the same tissue typing so she would be my donor," he added.

Family, friends pour in

In a GMA "Flash Report" Friday, reporter Sandra Aguinaldo said among the first personalities to rush to the Medical City Hospital in Mandaluyong City to condole with the family of Magalona were long-time friends Michael V, singer Ogie Alcasid, and Quezon City Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista.

Also rushing to the hospital was veteran actress Rosa Rosal, who chairs the Philippine National Red Cross Blood Donation program.

Comedian Michael V said Magalona died with his entire family around him.

After spending some time with Magalona’s family inside the hospital, Michael V went outside and told reporters how much the Philippines’ Master Rapper had influenced him in his rap music career.

While expressing grief over the news, Bautista said he would immediately busy himself with arranging for the wake of Magalona. The Magalona family said the Master Rapper’s remains would be brought to the Christ the King Chapel in Green Meadows, Quezon City.

Magalona – a father of eight – was bald but smiling in the last three photos in his last Web log (blog) entry.

The "Mga Kababayan Ko" singer was then very optimistic he would win his bout with cancer.

“Good evening people. I am getting prepared for my 4th Chemotherapy cycle, and I will be admitted tonight at The Medical City. I will be doing some tests tomorrow, wish me luck," Magalona wrote in his blog on Jan. 14.

The “Master Rapper" was wearing his signature “3 stars and a Sun" T-shirt in the pictures.
