According to EW.com, former Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz has formed a new band over the Internet called Black Cards.

The project was apparently formed during a trip Wentz took to Jamaica, where he became inspired. He then called up and began collaborating with Sam Hollander, whom he has worked with in the past. Black Cards’ lead singer is female, as Wentz claimed he could not imagine trying to replace Patrick Stump, the former lead singer of Fall Out Boy. The female vocalist remains unnamed; however, speculation is that it may be wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

There are snippets of two songs, “Club Called Heaven” and “Beating in My Chest” available on the band’s website http://blackcardsmusic.com/ along with a personal note from Wentz to his fans. Tweeps are divided as to whether or not they like Wentz’s new project:

Prince has had a revelation: “the Internet is completely over,” says the singer. Billboard.com reports that the artist doesn’t want his new album, “2oTen,” to be available for digital download on Web sites such as iTunes.

The artist compared the Internet to MTV, saying both was once “hip” before becoming “outdated.” Prince also condemned computers and other “digital gadgets,” and has shut down his official Web site.

Currently Prince is marketing “2oTen” by giving away free copies in European newspapers. There are no confirmed plans of how he will distribute the album in the U.S. and in European retail stores.

Tweeps are wondering if Prince has gone crazy and are mocking his statement:

1. 
   gruber It’s only fair, because the Internet declared Prince to be over like 10 years ago.
2. 
   abigvictory Did anyone tell Prince it’s his career that’s over?
3. 
   shanethevein I was surfing the internet when I accidentally found out that Prince was still alive.
4. 
   Gerbalaya Why are you people here? Didn’t you listen to #Prince? The internet is over!
5. 
   hrheingold RT @lafix: Prince seems to be taking the demise of GeoCities harder than most.
6. 
   ShawnHockeybuzz RT @ThatKevinSmith: “Thoughts on Prince declaring internet dead” HE’S RIGHT! SHUT IT DOWN! (If you play dead Prince goes away; like a bear)
7. 
   SoulProduct Uh-oh, looks like my hero Prince is declaring the internet “dead”. He’s got “computer blues”.
8. 
   WadeFulp @FatFatlinson think Prince could convince Justin Bieber the Internet is dead? Prince, your career is dead, see ya!
9. 
   MichaelSalamone No, Prince wasn’t just slamming iTunes, he said the internet was dead because I hadn’t been online all day.
10. 
    Yapping1 No one buys physical music any more Prince. This is not the Purple Rain days. Failure is an option for you brotha.

Earlier this year, Columbia Pictures cancelled “Spider-Man 4″ and decided to film a prequel instead. Since then, Hollywood has been abuzz with suggestions for who to cast as the new Spider-Man. According to the Hollywood Insider, a new Spider-Man has finally been cast and the big news is that he’s British! 26-year-old Andrew Garfield is set to portray the superhero made famous by Tobey Maguire.

The new Spider-Man is a relatively unknown figure in the United States, but is a star to watch in the U.K. Currently, Garfield is working on the Facebook movie “Social Network” starring opposite Justin Timberlake. He’s also filming “Never Let Me Go” opposite leading actresses Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley.

Some of the Twitterers seem to be a tad apprehensive with a new Spider-Man, but the majority are supportive:

1. 
   Stevie18 Andrew Garfield it is then. Not sure how that choice makes it a reboot rather than a recast. I will find out next week.
2. 
   Clauds87 I was disappointed that Logan Lerman isn’t playing Spiderman. Then I saw a picture of Andrew Garfield. Not so disappointed anymore…
3. 
   JadeMLawrence I’m very excited about seeing how Andrew Garfield will portray Spiderman/Peter Parker. It wont be until 2012 we will see final product.
4. 
   manic_swens Andrew Garfield is the new #SpiderMan! excellent young actor, maybe he can breathe some new life into the franchaise
5. 
   RokkRevolution So, Andrew Garfield is going to be Spider-Man. I am cool with that. He definitely looks like Peter.
6. 
   BtotheJ I dont know how I feel about this Andrew Garfield dude playing the new Spider Man for the 4th installment in hte series. you guys?
7. 
   chrice Really happy Andrew Garfield is the new Spiderman, much better fit than Maguire I think. Not happy its in 3D though
8. 
   realchadmichael Now I’m very excited about the new Spider-man! A great director, Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) and exciting new lead, Andrew Garfield.

After receiving the BET Lifetime Achievement Award this past Sunday, Prince has set his sights on promoting his new album “20Ten” in the UK, Belgium, and Germany by giving the album away for free, reports CNN.

This deal will be exclusive to those three countries in Europe as free copies will be given away when citizens buy The Daily Record (Scotland) or The Daily Mail (UK) on July 10. Copies of the album will be packaged with Germany’s Rolling Stone and Belgium’s newspaper, Het Nieuwblad, on the 22nd.

While most people would say that this is a bad idea, Prince has already done this before in the UK, with his last album “Planet Earth” being given away with the purchase of the Daily Mail. That incident didn’t sit well with music retailers given that “Planet Earth” is still not available for sale in the UK. Prince also gave free copies of another album, “Musicology,” in 2004 with the purchase of a concert ticket for his tour.

Let’s see what the Twitterverse thinks of Prince’s giveaway.

1.

Television’s legendary Larry King has just announced that he will be ending his “Larry King Live” this fall, reports EW.com. The talk-show host will be finishing up his 25th year in the CNN 9 p.m. slot.

The show has been the “longest-running show with the same host in the same time slot,” said King, referring to the show’s entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. While he won’t be hosting a nightly show anymore, the journalist will still produce specials for CNN in the future.

The Twitterverse seems split on King’s announcement:

1. 
   friedmanjon The final episode of Larry King Live better answer all the unanswered questions or I’m gonna be pissed.

It’s been one year since the passing of the “King of Pop” after suffering from cardiac arrest. In the year past, Michael Jackson has been honored numerous times at many different events.

On the anniversary of his death, news has spread that 12 previously unseen portraits of the influential singer are to be auctioned off this fall. It’s only another way for fans to remember the man President Obama called “one of our greatest entertainers.”

Tonight, the television world will help fans pay tribute to the star. And the celebration of his life will continue throughout the weekend, culminating in a special tribute at the 2010 BET Awards. For a detailed list of Michael Jackson specials on TV this weekend, check out this list from EW.com.

Soon there may be more “American Idol” hopefuls being driven to auditions by their parents. CNN.com reports that the reality competition show has lowered the minimum age for contestants from 16 to 15.

The show’s executives are saying that they want to give younger, talented performers a chance as well. This change will go into effect when Season 10 auditions start on July 17 in Nashville.

The once highly rated show showed a slipping in ratings this past season. This lowered age minimum may attract more younger fans and boost the show’s viewership.

Tweeps, including Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks, are discussing the pros and cons of this change.

1. 
   music_is_luve American Idol is now allowing 15yr olds to enter…so there will be more Justin Biebers…WHAT IS AMERICA COMING TO?!?!?! web

6. 
   BiebsBelieber1 RT @MusicChoice: American Idol lowered age requirement to try out to 15! Do you think their trying to find the next @justinbieber?
7. 
   JarrettGC American Idol is lowering the age minimum for competitors to 15, mostly as an attempt to get R Kelly to appear as a guest judge
8. 
   musicalFREAK87 American Idol lowered there audition age to 15 that would be great if a 15 year old won!
9.

“Golden Girl” Betty White has been lighting up the silver screen lately, between presenting at the MTV Movie Awards and her stint as a host on “Saturday Night Live”, and this week was no exception. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the TV Land comedy, “Hot In Cleveland,” which co-stars White debuted this past Wednesday to an audience of 4.8 million viewers.

Rapper Snoop Dogg is vying for some vampire love. A devoted “True Blood” fan, the artist released a new music video reaffirming his “True Blood” devotion, reports MTV.com. “Oh Sookie,” a homage to the show’s Sookie Stackhouse (actress Anna Paquin), was released on Thursday on HBO.com. The song offers Snoop Dogg’s best sexual seduction tips in an attempt to insert himself into the love triangle between Sookie, Eric and Bill on the show.
