Rooney Mara As Lisbeth Salander In 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo': First Official Photo!

A few weeks back, some grainy paparazzi pics of Rooney Mara dressed as Lisbeth Salander for David Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" adaptation hit the Internet. They were hard to read and, frankly, a bit of a letdown. Today, however, fans of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy are being treated to the real deal. W [...]

How Sting & Trudie Styler Keep Their 30-Year Relationship Hot

How Sting & Trudie Styler Keep Their 30-Year Relationship Hot

Hollywood may be the land of the quickie marriage and the even-quicker divorce (Hi, Britney!), but some couples defy the odds. Sting and wife Trudie Styler have been married for 18 years and together for a whopping 30! In February's issue of Harper's Bazaar, the very much in love twosome reveal the secrets that keeps their desire for each other burning.

"Being apart juices the relationship," Sting, 59, who is often touring, explains. "When we see each other, it's romance. I don't think pedestrian sex is very interesting. There's a playfulness we have; I like the theater of sex. I like to look good. I like her to dress up. I like to dress her up."

Married in 1992 and the parents of six children, the sexy couple rely on communication to each other's needs met.

"It's important to have frank discussions about what the other wants," Styler, 57, says. "To be in a relationship that is like a little lifetime, that's a challenge."

Most importantly, Sting says, is to appreciate what you have in your partner.

"We treat every day as it comes," he explains. "Relationships aren't easy, and I don't think they're particularly natural, but we're lucky because we actually like each other. We love each other--that's a given--but Trudie lights my world up when she comes into a room. I don't take her for granted."

'Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark' Tops Broadway Box-Office Chart

The troubled production, still in previews, knocked long-running 'Wicked' out of the top spot.

After enduring a seemingly endless barrage of bad news — injured performers, poorly received previews and an oft-delayed opening date — producers of the troubled "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" finally have something to cheer about. As it turns out, their production is making money ... lots of it.

According to The New York Times, the "Spider-Man" musical made more than $1.5 million in ticket sales during the first week of January, making it the highest-grossing show on Broadway.

"Spider-Man" knocked off perennial moneymaker "Wicked" to claim the top spot, earning exactly $58 more at the box office than the long-running "Wizard of Oz"-themed play. The Times does add, however, that while "Wicked" had 100 percent of its audience paying for tickets (at an average price of $109.76), "Spider-Man" has been offering some discount and complimentary tickets during its preview period, and that the average paid admission for the show was $102.86. Helping to push "Spider-Man" into the #1 spot was the fact that it plays at the Foxwoods Theater, which has 1,930 seats, while the venue that hosts "Wicked," the Gershwin Theater, has just 1,809.

Still, the Times noted that both productions played to sold-out crowds in early January — a sign that, no matter how bad the press surrounding "Spider-Man" has been (or, perhaps, because of it), the fledgling musical may be positioned to challenge the Broadway supremacy of "Wicked," which has been an out-of-the-box smash since opening in 2003.

"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," which is directed by Julie Taymor and features a score by U2's Bono and The Edge, will officially open on February 7.

Would you go see the "Spider-Man" musical despite the injuries and bad press? Let us know in the comments.

The February 11 release of John Chu's 3-D doc "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" is fast approaching, and in addition to the Biebs' many tweets about the flick, we now have another glimpse at what it has in store for eager fans. A new clip from the film shows how Bieber's talent for drums surfaced at a young age. It's also full of more cute Bieber baby videos.

"He never had any lessons or anything. I just never thought of it being anything other than for fun," Bieber's mother, Pattie Malette, says in the clip.

Bieber's drum collection quickly expanded from a handheld drum to a mini drum kit, and eventually, his family friends held a benefit concert and raised enough money to buy the young prodigy his own set of Pearl drums.

The 16-year-old pop star made waves at the 2010 VMAs when he rocked out on the drums during his amplified set. He also showed off his skills on the skins at the 2009 Jingle Ball in Sacramento, where he played an impressive drum solo during Cobra Starship's performance. Starship frontman Gabe Saporta, who had been trying to challenge Bieber to a dance off, tweeted after the fact, "Justin Bieber smoked me hard tonight. He couldn't win the dance off. But he shredded a gnarly drum solo. I back this kid on the real. Legit."

Bieber wouldn't be the first artist to start out behind the kit before his vocal capabilities propelled him to the spotlight. He joins the powerful ranks of drummers-turned-singers such as Dave Grohl, Phil Collins, Karen Carpenter, Ringo Starr and Tommy Lee.
