Django Unchained
Django is a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face to face with German born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles; dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda, the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie, the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.

Twilight stars and once again off screen couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are reportedly considering making another movie together, and following in the footsteps of another famous Hollywood couple.

A judge decided to dismiss the $20 million extortion case Jennifer Lopez filed against her ex-driver as a countersuit to his claim that she didn't pay him the money he was owed.

Could Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have slipped a marriage right under our noses? It could be that the two of them secretly tied the knot, and no one noticed. Well, no one except those who follow Cyrus on Twitter. Cyrus tweeted images on Christmas where she and fiancé Hemsworth are seen posing in front of their Christmas tree. But it could be that the pictures revealed more than Cyrus and Hemsworth meant them to. If you look very closely at the above photo (which has since been deleted from Cyrus' Twitter), it looks as though Hemsworth is wearing a wedding band.

There could be still more turnover at the judges' table on The X Factor. A report says Britney Spears may join L.A. Reid in exiting the show. But where Reid left of his own accord, Spears is about to "get the boot," The X Factor, which wrapped its second season last week, has gone through quite a bit of turnover in its short life. Cheryl Cole was let go as a judge before the first season even premiered, replaced by Nicole Scherzinger. Following Season 1, Scherzinger, fellow judge Paula Abdul and host Steve Jones departed. Spears and Demi Lovato joined as judges this season, and Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom took over as hosts.

Has Tom Cruise found a new woman? According to new reports he has, though some remain dubious that the rumored couple has even met.

Even more proof that Christmas Day was far from misérable at the box office: Fandango reports that Tuesday was its best-ever single day for ticket sales, breaking a record set when The Avengers opened on May 4.

Apple CEO Tim Cook's compensation for its latest fiscal year dropped sharply from last year when it was boosted by stock awards of $376.2 million. For the latest fiscal year, Cook earned $4.2 million, down more than 98 percent from $378 million a year earlier, according to a regulatory filing late Thursday. His salary rose to $1.4 million from $900,000. Cook, who became CEO in August 2011, did not get stock awards for the latest year as the tech firm awards them only every other year.

As predicted last week, Taylor Swift's Red album remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a sixth nonconsecutive week, selling 276,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set posts a big increase in sales (up 32%), as do most of the chart's titles. That's natural, since the most recent tracking week ended Sunday, Dec. 23, when consumers were busy shopping for last-minute Christmas gifts. T.I.'s latest album arrives in the runner up slot with 179,000. It should come as no surprise then that the week marked the busiest for album sales in 2012.

There weren't many people invited to Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll's secret wedding ceremony, but one A-list star made the cut: Leonardo DiCaprio, Winslet's costar in 1997's Titanic and 2008's Revolutionary Road.
