U.S. border agents have found marijuana on a bus with singer Justin Bieber's tour as it crossed into Detroit from Windsor, Canada.

The Detroit Free Press reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ken Hammond confirmed that the bus was stopped Sunday as it attempted to enter the U.S. on the Ambassador Bridge.

Michael Jackson's dismal public image in his final years meant his final concert series had no sponsors, despite record advance ticket sales for the 50 planned shows, a witness said Monday.

The testimony of Eric Briggs, of FTI Consulting, opened the 14th week of the Jackson family's lawsuit against concert promoters AEG LIve.

Double Oscar winner Denzel Washington relished the opportunity to tread new ground alongside Mark Wahlberg in their new film "2 Guns," an action caper by Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur.

Washington, 58, is renowned for heavyweight roles including anti-apartheid campaigner Steve Biko and Malcolm X. But he jumped at the chance to move to the lighter side, particularly as he was coming off the back of 2012's "Flight", in which he played an airline pilot struggling with addiction issues.

Movie star and director Angelina Jolie urged a Japanese audience Monday to join her fight to stop sexual violence in war zones.

Jolie said she hoped "In the Land of Blood and Honey," her first film as writer and director, would inspire viewers to think about rape in war.

Peter Jackson has wrapped up filming "The Hobbit" trilogy and shared pictures of his last day on the set with his Facebook fans.

The New Zealand filmmaker provided a steady stream of updates and photos from the set of the final film, "The Hobbit: There And Back Again," on Friday. The second film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," will be released in December, and the finale appears in 2014.

"The Wolverine" slashed monsters and minions to debut atop the weekend box office.

The Fox film featuring Hugh Jackman's sixth turn as the claw-wielding superhero opened with $55 million in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.

When Cate Blanchett was last in New York, in between her nightly performances in the acclaimed touring production of "Uncle Vanya," she would slip uptown, to the East Side, to stealthily research her role in Woody Allen's latest, "Blue Jasmine."

In it, Blanchett plays Jasmine, a socialite in breakdown, a modern Blanche DuBois (a role Blanchett played a few years ago on stage, the "detritus" of which she says stays with her), distraught and destroyed by the betrayal of her Bernie Madoff-like financier husband (Alec Baldwin). On Jasmine's stomping ground, the Upper East Side, Blanchett bent her ear to the neighborhood's accents of affluence.

Woody Allen says he is considering a return to standup comedy, four decades after he gave up the nightclub circuit and launched a celebrated filmmaking career.

The idea came when he watched legendary comic Mort Sahl at New York's famous Cafe Carlyle last month, he told trade journal Variety, in an interview to mark the release of his latest movie, "Blue Jasmine."

Controverial German director Frank Castorf refused to show himself at the end of his new staging of Richard Wagner's "Rhinegold" that premiered at the Bayreuth Festival on Friday.

"Rhinegold" is the first of four instalments in Castorf's widely anticipated new production of Wagner's sprawling "Ring" cycle. And it was met with deafening boos and whistles when the curtain went down in the sold-out Festspielhaus theatre built to the composer's own designs.

"The Wolverine," the latest "X Men' spin-off, is hoping to claw back some Hollywood pride after a string of big-budget flops have left major Tinseltown studios licking their wounds.

Starring Hugh Jackman, the film is forecast to make over $70 million this weekend after opening Thursday, in what trade journal Variety said could be one of the best debuts of the summer. North America's normally lucrative summer movie season has seen a series of movies with budgets over $150 million bomb at the box office, at the expense of cheaper but more profitable films.
