Expectant mom Jessica Alba glowed as she attended the Covenant House 2011 Gala and Awards Dinner at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles on June 9th.

Radiant Alba, 30, gave off a heavenly vibe in the long Dolce & Gabbana white eyelet and floral lace dress that looked perfect for the summer event.

Jessica presented her Dark Angel producer and friend James Cameron and his wife, director Suzy Amis with an award for the work they do on behalf of the organization’s efforts to raise money for homeless kids and teens.

The actress admitted that her daughter, Honor Marie, who turned 3 years-old earlier this week, is ready to get the baby out of mom’s tummy.

“Honor loves to sit on my lap,” explains Jessica. “She says, ‘Is the baby still in there Mom?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s still in there.’ And she goes, ‘Can’t you take it out now? I want to sit on your lap.’

“I keep telling her that baby is not ready to come out yet.”

She shouldn’t have to wait much longer!

The planned 3D remastered edition of Titanic is set for release on April 6th, 2012 on the 100th anniversary of the day they Titanic set out to sea.

Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment jointly announced today that James Cameron’s “TITANIC” will be re-released worldwide on April 6, 2012.

The release, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic setting sail (April 10th), will present the film in 3D for the first time ever.

I saw titanic once during it’s theatrical run in 1997, for me,  that was enough. I have no desire to watch this movie again, 3D or not. This is obviously not the case for the masses, but I wonder how well this movie will do during it’s re-release. I bet is that it won’t have big box office numbers, but I may be wrong. Will you go see it?

Titanic is being re-released in theaters in 3D in 2012, probably in April.

It looks like Cameron talked about the 3D release at the 100th birthday party for Gloria Stuart, who played the older Rose in the film. While it’s not a direct quote, the article said:

…said the director, who’s converting the blockbuster into 3-D for re-release in April 2012, the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking.

The date makes sense as the RMS Titanic set off on April 10, 1912 and struck an iceberg and sank on April 14.

I really don’t care about this, but I guess a lot of people love that movie. I’d rather he re-release The Abyss in 3D, that’s a far better movie in my opinion.

Will.i.am says James Cameron is going to direct The Black Eyed Peas upcoming concert film!

“Right now we are planning our 3D tour movie and James Cameron is directing it,” will.i.am tells Vibe magazine.

Will.i.am then went on to say that the reason they have the best director in the world directing 3d movie is because they are the best group in the world. Very humble!

“We have the biggest director because we are the biggest group on the planet. The Peas are filming it in South America. People will be able to see us in the theater with the 3D glasses and everything.”

“There will be a storyline that [Cameron] came up with, which will be dope,” he says. “It’s a full-length film and it’s based around our tour activities. We’ve toured from America and Europe, to the Middle East, South America, Asia and Africa.

Seems like it’s too bizarre to be true. I just don’t see James Cameron doing this, I’ll keep you posted with the realities as they become more clear. If it’s true, I guess we can expect an epic concert film. It’s too bad The Black Eyed Peas aren’t all that great live, no amount of CGI can fix pitch problems.

James Cameron is planning to make Avatar 2 and 3!  Which will undoubtedly make the trilogy the biggest in movie history.

Now he tells the LA Times, “Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment—a different setting within Pandora. And I’m going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won’t be a rain forest. I’m not saying we won’t see what we’ve already seen; we’ll see more of that as well.”

Cameron says it’s no easy task creating Pandora, but now that they have the materials from the first film, it’ll take faster to complete this time around.

“We’re going to spend a lot of money building this world and all these digital characters and digital plants and trees and mountains and so on, and then once we’ve got it, we’ve got it. It’s not like it’s a practical set that when you build it, you have to tear it down and you’re left with a big pile of lumber out behind the studio. We have all that stuff so we can go again,” he explained…

…Cameron says the storyline in the second film will definitely have us wanting more. “We expand out across that system and incorporate more into the story—not necessarily in the second film, but more toward a third film,” he explains.

Sounds great, we already know Cameron is a genius with underwater movies (The Abyss) so part two is going to be awesome. I just wonder how long it will be before part two hits theaters, hopefully in the next three or four years.

Talks of a sequel to the biggest movie of all time have begun, but it will be some time before we see the release of Avatar 2.

News Corp. is in very early talks with James Cameron about a possible “Avatar” sequel.

Asked about potential “Avatar” sequels, chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said on his quarterly earnings call Tuesday that the conglomerate is in “very early talks about it.” Director James Cameron “has ideas” for a sequel, he said, adding: “We will be pushing for one.”

But he cautioned analysts not to “hold your breath for an early one” in a possible reference to Cameron projects often taking a long time to come to fruition.

Well its obviously going to happen, but the first Avatar was in development for 15 years, so don’t get too excited about this. Cameron will take his sweet time with Avatar 2, and that’s just fine.

Avatar is the new “King of the World”, the film has officially beaten Titanic as the highest grossing movie of all time internationally. Pretty amazing.

“Avatar” is the winner and new worldwide boxoffice champion.

After six rounds on the foreign circuit, ”Avatar” is now the biggest-grossing film of all time.

Distributor 20th Century Fox says the James Cameron mega-budget blockbuster’s worldwide cume — excluding Puerto Rico — was through the weekend $2 million shy of “Titanic’s” global boxoffice record of $1.843 billion. (Boxoffice in Puerto Rico, though generated offshore, is considered by Fox as part of domestic total.)

The distributor confirmed that “Titanic’s” historic benchmark fell as of early Monday.

Pretty crazy! I really didn’t expect Avatar to continue to make so much money, but it’s the biggest movie of all time. Now we just have to wait for Avatar 2 to beat it.

Leona Lewis just might take the step from music onto the big screen with James Cameron‘s help.

Leona Lewis is known as a great singer, but she may be crossing over into movies! Director James Cameron has reportedly shown a lot of interest in Lewis lately. Leona recorded the theme song for Cameron’s latest blockbuster Avatar, and now he has his eye on her for his next film.

“James is well known for casting strong females in his films and he sees that quality in Leona,” revealed a Hollywood insider.

“She has made quite an impression in Hollywood and James is one of a number of people interested in developing her performance skills for film.”

The only problem is going to be getting Leona to actually agree to acting in a movie! Leona has previously talked about how she’d love to work in the movie industry — but would prefer it be behind the scenes.

I say stick to the music, there are thousands of talented and undiscovered actors out there that need a chance. Leona Lewis is already doing just fine for herself.

James Cameron‘s new film Avatar has reached the astronomical amount of $617.3 million in its first 10 days of release, and it’s still going strong!

“ Avatar” surprised no one by taking the No. 1 spot on the foreign circuit for the second weekend in a row.

But director James Cameron’s mega-budget epic raised eyebrows with its overseas boxoffice staying power, grossing $145 million — a mere 12% drop from its opening weekend — from 14,844 screens. It did well in its second week in the U.S. as well.

Triple-digit opening grosses usually decline substantially in the ensuing weekend. A drop of less than 50% is considered positive by the industry. Distributor 20th Century Fox said “Avatar’s” relative miniscule decline “is even more impressive given theatre closures in many markets on Dec. 24 and/or Dec. 25.”

The film’s offshore cumulative total stands at $405 million. Worldwide tally clocks in at $617.3 million.

I just saw this movie the other night, and I must say I want to go see it again. This time in IMAX 3D, it was already an amazing experience in regular 3D. James Cameron does it big again. Next stop $1 billion!
