But that’s not the only good news, As per reports, the hunk has now been roped in for an action film which will be announced soon.

A source said: “Yes, he has almost finalized this action film. It takes him into an altogether difference space when compared to the two films that he has been a part of.”

In fact ever since the release of the Karan Johar film, feelers had started coming his way for action genre. However he wanted to assess all options before consenting to his next.

“He has a fantastic physique he is pretty much in the action hero mode and he too is keen to do action but not the kind where you see men flying around in air and kicking 10 goons simultaneously. Given the kind of built that he boasts of, it would be a pity if he doesn’t get a chance to get his kicks and punches look solid indeed. For his next flick, his action would be realistic,” added the source.

The 43-year-old Hollywood hunk dressed perfectly for the Park City, UT temps, sporting a plaid, flannel button-down, jeans, and sunglasses while making his way past eager fans.While attending the annual shindig, Matthew dished about taking on so many independent flicks in the recent years, telling Fox News, “It is no coincidence that my last seven films have all been independent films. I wasn’t thinking about whether it was studio or independent, but on the character,” adding, “they don’t pay me as well. It’s ironic. I had my best, most fun and creative year making films a couple of years ago and yet I lost money for the first time.”

Although the “Fool’s Gold” star might have lost out on funds, he says acting is still his main focus, explaining, “I am really enjoying just being an actor. I have been offered to produce and I had said ‘no thank you.’ Directing and producing is a two-year commitment. I want to do my work, nail it, and go back to my family,” McConaughey said. “The simplification (of only acting) is healthy for me. When you have a family, you have to be wise with choosing your co-curriculars.”

Petition to remove Beyonce from Inauguration Ceremony

Petition to remove Beyonce from Inauguration Ceremony

Allegedly, there’s a petition to remove Beyoncé from President Obamas’ Inauguration performance line up. On January 9th it was announced that Beyoncé will indeed perform the national anthem at the swearing in ceremony.

Unfortunately, the people aren’t having it. The reason being is Beyoncé signed another multi-million dollar deal with Pepsi last year while back in 2009; Michelle Obama enlisted the singer to join the movement for her fight against children obesity. Beyoncé in return made a dance video entitled “Move Your Body”. The partnership alone made headline news which inspired young adults to get in shape.

Being though she did in fact promote exercising and eating healthy at some point in her career, does that take away the fact she’s not in control of other peoples decisions for their children’s health or even their own health? Let’s take into consideration that Beyoncé has been a spokesperson for Pepsi since 2001, she’s a part of that money making machine, it’s called PR.

What do you think Michelle had in mind when she asked Beyoncé to join her for the fight against obesity campaign, she knew that young people look up to the singer and would be more attentive to movement of getting fit and healthy.

Do you think Beyoncé is sending out the wrong message? Do you think she’s responsible for other people decision making about their wellbeing? Do you think Beyoncé should be removed from the performance line-up?

Lady Gaga’s scheduled performance at the inaugural ball for President Barack Obama’s staffers was revealed by a source that spoke on condition of anonymity. The information had not been authorized to be made public.

Lady Gaga’s performance at Tuesday’s inaugural ball might come as a surprise for some since Lady Gaga is typically not associated with presidential festivities.

The presidential inaugural balls celebrate the beginning of President Obama’s new term and are large social gathering. The event is planned and sanctioned by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. The inaugural balls take place on the evening of Inauguration Day in the Washington D.C. area.

Historically, the President, First Lady, Vice-President and his spouse, all make personal appearances at each inaugural ball which is being held in their honor. During the black and white tie event, the presidential inaugural balls feature catered food, beverages, and live entertainment by well-known national and international entertainers.

On Jan. 20, 2009, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were serenaded by Beyoncé at their first inaugural dance at the Neighborhood Ball.

The news that Lady Gaga is said to perform on Tuesday adds an interesting aspect to this year’s presidential inaugural balls.
