As we mentioned last month, Snow White and the Huntsman starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth has spawned a massive 200+ piece limited edition collection of goods for HSN.

Now we've learned cosmetics giant Benefit is jumping on the Huntsman bandwagon and releasing a limited edition makeup kit inspired by Kristen's character Snow White, called Rare Beauty.

The kit features a makeup bag, Professional Pro Balm Primer, Benefit Lip and Cheek Stain, Badgal Lash Mascara & a High Beam Luminizer.

The best part? It's totally affordable (only $45!) and will be available online at benefitcosmetics.com and in stores this May.

We're excited and can't wait to pick up a kit just in time for the film's release on June 1!!

Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures have found writers for the Woody Woodpecker movie.

HSN is stepping up their game in a major way!

The network is set to release a 200+ piece collection inspired by Snow White and the Huntsman starring Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart on May 30, a day before the film's release on June 1.

The genius collection will feature a LARGE variety of merchandise including jewelry, candles, nail polish and much more.

What's even more exciting is each designer from the collection will be on hand to discuss their products and HSN will run exclusive never-before-seen content throughout the 24 hours of Snow White programming.

Stephanie Sperber, president of partnerships and licensing at Universal Pictures says of the collection:

"It’s really powerful to link the storytelling and products. The vast majority of its viewers range from their late 20s to their early 40s, so HSN is a perfect marketing partner for this movie."

And we couldn’t agree more, they did a great job with the merchandise!

We're curious to know, what do U think about this? And will U be tuning in???

And the world makes sense again.

First, it was happening. Then, things went awry. Then, people thought it might happen. Then … radio silence. For almost an ENTIRE YEAR, we have been waiting with bated breath to know if Barbra Streisand would indeed revive the role of Momma Rose in the acclaimed Stephen Sondheim musical Gypsy for the big screen. We prayed to the musical gods in the heavens above, pleading that Barbra would make this movie, which would be her first musical since Yentil almost 30 years ago.

Today, according to the fine people over at Universal Studios, our prayers have been answer. Gypsy IS happening … and all we can say is:

Yep, it's true! You can say hello to your little friend all over again!

Universal Pictures is working on a "new version" of the Scarface classic.

Originally, the title was released in 1932 as a Howard Hughes joint.

But then of course the Al Pacino version came to fruition in 1983 with the character Tony Montana as a hottie face.

This NEW version will

Last month, we were bummed to hear that Universal Pictures had decided to push back production on The Dark Tower until February due to budget issues.

Then last week, we were bummed yet again to hear that the film's script was being rewritten AND that director Ron Howard was reportedly considering bailing on the project.

It was beginning to seem like Dark Tower may be doomed, but Ron Howard has spoken up about the project, and based on what he's saying now, it sounds like the project is still very much a go!

Here's Ron on the film's delays:
