Candy Crush is out to tempt investors with the sweet taste of success while avoiding the sourness left in the mouths of those who bit into social game maker Zynga.

King Digital Entertainment, the developer behind the wildly addictive puzzle game, said this week that Candy Crush is seeking a listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Britain's News of the World tabloid paid out £250,000 for an exclusive interview with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown after she was caught performing oral sex on actor Hugh Grant, the phone-hacking trial heard on Thursday.

Rebekah Brooks, a former editor and executive at the Rupert Murdoch-owned title, said Brown was paid around £100,000 but large sums were also spent moving her and her family to a desert hideout to stop other papers stealing the 1995 scoop.

She emerges Venus-like out of a mist of hairspray with tousled hair, a shimmering 50,000-euro Chanel jacket and a 1,000-watt smile.

"Hello daarling," says Mouna Ayoub huskily with the warm familiarity of old friends (even though we've met only once before) — walking around a decor of gigantic silver oyster shells and blue glass buoys to kiss me.

I wish “In Secret” came out in time for Valentine’s day. An adaptation of Emile Zola’s classic novel Thérèse Raquin, the film manages to overcome its flaws to be an entertaining and engaging period drama. It’s far from perfect, but it benefits from a really strong first half and some pretty solid performances.

The fashion crowd moved on to Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday, leaving behind memories of snowy New York and rainy London.

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died this month from an apparent heroin overdose, left all his money to his long-time girlfriend and their young son, US media said Wednesday.

“Winter’s Tale” is a really, really weird movie. It wastes a great cast and beautiful cinematography to tell one of the strangest and dumbest fantasy stories ever put on screen. I’m not even sure who to be angry with; director Akiva Goldsman for making this mess, or author Mark Helprin for writing the original story to begin with.

I’m honestly not entirely sure I even fully understood what the hell was happening, so please, bare with me as I try to make sense of it all. The story revolves around Peter Lake (Colin Farrell), a burglar living in 1916 New York, who falls in love with the beautiful Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay), a young woman with only a few months left to live. Peter is simultaneously being tracked down by his old boss Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe), who has a score to settle. When Beverly dies and Peter gets thrown off a bridge, he finds himself in present-day New York with no memory of who he was. Peter has been kept alive for some reason, and it’s up to him to figure out why. The story involves time travel, reincarnation, a magical flying horse who’s actually a dog, angels, and demons. In short, it makes no sense.
