Alicia Keys will perform at annual broadcast.

Not only will she attend as a five-time nominee, but superstar Alicia Keys will perform at the American Music Awards next month. The Secret Life of Bees co-star is confirmed to play the annual show Nov. 23 in Los Angeles. Keys, a nominee for Artist of the Year, joins Ne-Yo, Rihanna, and Kanye West among others set to play the show. The American Music Awards will be held at the Nokia Theatre.

Actor says he expected to appear in “Iron Man” sequel.

Actor Terrence Howard says he read in the media – just like you did – that he wouldn’t appear in the sequel to this year’s film Iron Man. Howard was replaced by Traitor and Hotel Rwanda star Don Cheadle after a reported financial disagreement. The Oscar nominee plays Jimmy Rhodes in the original movie, a character set to appear in the 2010 follow-up. Howard called his replacement “the surprise of a lifetime,” adding: “I read something in the trades (implying) that it was about money or something, but apparently, the contracts that we write and sign aren’t worth the paper that they’re printed on sometimes.”
