Jennifer Lopez quits World Cup opening ceremony
World football governing body FIFA has announced that Jennifer Lopez will not perform the official World Cup song at the tournament's opening ceremony.
Officials say the singer could not attend the show because of, quote, 'production issues'.
But they gave no details of the issues.
Last week, Lopez said she was thrilled to be given the chance to perform at the ceremony.
Lopez was due to perform together with rapper Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte.
They have recoreded the song 'We Are One (Ole Ola)'.
The latter two will stay at the show accompanied by drummers Olodum.
Back in January, Lopez also missed the event where Pitbull and Leitte unveiled plans for the song alongside FIFA officials in Rio de Janeiro.
The opening ceremony will take place on Thursday in San Paulo.
'The Voice of China' announces coach list
With only one month to go, a coach list has been released for the third season of 'The Voice of China'.
Na Ying, Luo Dayou, Wang Feng and Yang Kun were introduced as coaches today.
This year's panel is structured just like the previous two, consisting of one female coach and three male coaches.
Na Ying will serve her third year as coach on The Voice of China, while Luo Dayou will join the team for the first time.
Last year, Luo joined the panel of China's version of 'The X Factor'.
He gave harsh criticism to the participants during the match, which caused much debate.
Yang Kun will make his return. He joined the show in the first season.
Meanwhile, the line-up for third season has been upgraded.
Director Ning Hao will make the promotional films for the show and Grammy-award winner David Foster will act as international musical consultant.
The third season of 'The Voice of China' will premiere on July 11th.
David Beckham and Prince William call for curbing the illegal trade in wildlife
The Duke of Cambridge and British football icon David Beckham have launched a new campaign that aims to use the power of sport to curb the illegal wildlife trade.
Prince William is also the president of United for Wildlife.
Under the #WhoseSideAreYouOn initiative, the Prince hopes to bring public attention to the issue via various social network sites.
"In February we set out our commitments to improve protection and enforcement, reduce demand and to help the business community to tackle international trafficking. That was our first step but we knew we needed to do more to bring this trade into the open. The illegal wildlife trade thrives because it is hidden, often invisible, making it easy for criminals to build and expand their violent greed."
Beckham describes the trade in illegal wildlife products as "devastating."
He says people need to take actions and make a difference.
"This is devastating, it really is devastating. And we are in a world where our generation and the younger generation can really, really make a difference and we need to do it now."
Headed by Beckham, a team of sports stars is backing the campaign, including Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and former South African rugby captain Francois Pienaar.
Clint Eastwood, Christopher Walken attend special screening of 'Jersey Boys'
The Tony Award-winning "Jersey Boys" musical has been made into a film.
Clint Eastwood and Christopher Walken have attended a special screening of the new flick in New York.
The film tells the story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who come together to form the iconic rock group Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
Eastwood both produced and directed the film.
He says he decided to make the film after heading to Broadway a number of times to see "Jersey Boys".
"I just researched it and saw the play three times. I kind of - like most audiences - I kind of fell in love with the idea of doing it and it just seemed like the thing to do."
Oscar and Tony-winning actor Christopher Walken plays Gyp DeCarlo in the movie.
Walken says it was the first time he's met or worked with Eastwood but had fun playing the role.
The role of Valli is played by John Lloyd Young who won a Tony Award for his portrayal of the lead singer on Broadway.
Young says making a film allowed him to expand upon the role.
"So on screen I was able to let these insights that I had all these years about the character sort of come out to play in a way that was not possible on stage and allow certain thoughts and attitudes of my character to just be present and they're visible here because the camera catches that."
'Jersey Boys' opens in U.S. theaters next Friday.
