'Fault In Our Stars' Movie

Shailene Woodley has booked her next big film role. Woodley will star in Fox 2000's adaptation of John Green's celebrated novel, "The Fault in Our Stars." The 21-year-old actress was rumored for the role earlier this year, before EW broke the news of her involvement on Tuesday. Woodley will play Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old cancer patient who falls in love with a boy named Augustus in her support group. My opinion: I've read the book "Fault In Our Stars." and I really loved it, so I'm hoping that the movie will be as good as the book.

My Opinion: I love Soundgarden, especially their song 'By Crooked Steps' which has a cameo of Deadmau5.:)

Retelling of Much Ado About Nothing!

A rock retelling of 'Much Ado About Nothing' in the works. Billie Joe Armstrong just returned to Green Day following a stint in rehab, but the 41-year-old frontman is ready for his next comeback. According to the New York Times, Armstrong is plotting a return to the stage with Yale's Repertory Theatre. My opinion: Much Ado About Nothing isn't my favorite Shakespeare, but it was a good play... But as for Green Day retelling it, might not be good.

Veronica Mars

Illustrating the power of social media, more than 30,000 fans of the cult favorite television series "Veronica Mars" pledged $2 million in a single day — or 10 hours, to be exact — to finance an independent film based on the teen drama. My opinion: If they are making a movie out of the Veronica Mars series, I'd watch it a million times... I love that series.

Gunmen kill 7

Two men opened fire in The Mermaid bar in Cancun, Mexico. Heightened security precautions have been taken in preparation for this year’s arrival of spring breakers. My opinion: I hope none of the spring breakers get killed, they still have their lives ahead of them.
