'Fast & Furious 7': Vin Diesel Reveals 2015 Release Date

Fast & Furious 7 has secured a new release date: April 10, 2015. Franchise star Vin Diesel posted the news on his Facebook page Sunday night, accompanied by a photo of himself with the late Paul Walker.

Diesel explained the photo on his page: “The last scene we filmed together…There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared… in the film we were now completing… the magic captured… and, in just how far we’ve come…Fast and Furious 7 will be released…April 10th 2015!”
He added: “P.s. He’d want you to know first…

Fast & Furious 7 had been aiming for an already ambitious July 11, 2014, release, but Universal Pictures halted production after Walker’s death on Nov. 30. “At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise,” a rep explained in a statement on Dec. 4.

No other information was provided about plot, or how the scenes with Walker’s character Brian O’Conner will be used in the final product.

Bilbo Bags Burgundy at Box Office As ‘Hobbit’ Surges Past ‘Anchorman 2’

“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” breathed more fire at the holiday box office, repeating as No. 1 with $31.4 million and beating back a challenge from Will Ferrell and “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.” The comedy sequel, which arrived nine years after the original and stars Ferrell as TV newsman Ron Burgundy, brought in $26.7 million to finish second.

The two movies were virtually tied after Friday, but a Saturday surge by Bilbo Baggins and the rest of Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth mob made the difference.

Charlie Sheen to Phil Robertson: Apologize ... Or Face a 'Masheen Style Media Beatdown'

Charlie Sheen just WENT OFF on "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson -- threatening to unleash a monstrous media attack on the reality star ... unless he makes amends with gay people.

Sheen posted the long diatribe on Twitter ... and quickly put Phil on notice saying, "just when your desperately sub evolved ass thought the pressure was off, you are now in the cross-hairs of a MaSheen style media beat down."

Charlie claims he's only voicing his opinion out of the blue for one reason ... to stick up for all his gay friends whose voices are not as powerful.

The letter is filled with classic Sheenism's -- like calling Phil a "shower-dodger", something about Charlie whittling his "cosmic banjo" ... and even a "news flash" for old times sake.

Clint Eastwood Divorce: No Way I'm Paying Her Alimony

Clint Eastwood thinks his soon-to-be ex-wife should fend for herself ... because he's asking a judge to DENY her any spousal support.

Clint filed legal docs in the divorce case triggered by Dina Eastwood. He's trying early on to shut down her request for support. We're pretty sure the reason Clint is drawing the line is because there's a prenup that lays out their rights pretty clearly.

It seems there's a fight on another front ... custody of their 16-year-old daughter Morgan. Dina has asked for full physical custody. Clint wants joint physical custody.

Clint says their 17-year marriage crumbled more than a year and a half ago and they actually separated in June 2012.

'Duck Dynasty' Family Says ... We Won't Do the Show Without Phil

The Robertson family just drew a line in the sand with A&E -- NO PHIL, NO SHOW ... and says they are already talking to the cable channel about possibly pulling the plug on "Duck Dynasty."

The family issued a statement saying, "As a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of 'Duck Dynasty.'"

They also say they're "disappointed" that Phil Robertson was suspended by A&E just for expressing his religious beliefs ... which, they point out, is his "constitutionally protected right."

Fun fact: "Duck Dynasty" is the highest rated cable reality TV show ever.

Way to go A&E.

Selena Gomez Looking To Buy Home Next Door To Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez is reportedly eyeing homes in the same gated Calabasas community as her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber.

"Selena is very close to making an offer on a house inside the Calabasas development where Justin lives. She's looked at other neighborhood but really fell in love with a home near Justin's," a source dished to Life & Style.

Although the teenage lovebirds are no longer together, it sounds like The Biebs would have no complaints if his former lady love was close by.

"She's a great woman. I love her till this day," he admitted during a Power 106 radio interview this week.

Miss Gomez obviously doesn't pay attention to media reports, though! JB is notorious for having loud, raucous parties that carry into the wee hours of the morning, so she might want to invest in some ear plugs if she plans on staying!
