MUSIC/ AMY WINEHOUSE CANCELS PART OF TOUR AND RETURNS TO UK: Amy Winehouse has canceld part of her European tour after the singer was booed for appearing to be too drunk to perform at a concert in Serbia's capital Belgrade. She is pulling out of shows in Istanbul, Turkey, today, and Athens, Greece, on Wednesday. A spokesman said Winehouse would like to apologize to fans, but "feels that this is the right thing to do". The singer has struggled with addiction for some time. Her spokesman added that Winehouse will return home after agreeing with management that "she cannot perform to the best of her ability". Her tour, which was originally scheduled to include 12 performances, is now due to resume in Bilbao, Spain, on July 8. This weekend's concert in Belgrade, pictured left, was the 1st of the tour, and for almost 90 minutes, Winehouse mumbled her way through parts of songs. A British critic said: "She sang a few strained notes, before stumbling across the stage and at one point throwing her microphone to the floor. At times she left the stage altogether, her band attempting to fill in. She was frequently booed by the crowd". The Grammy-award winning singer had been under strict instructions not to drink after recently finishing a course of alcohol rehabilitation in London.

TV/ SEASON FINALE OF "THE KILLING" ENDS WITH A SHOCK: After a slow moving season and several red herrings, AMC's "The Killing" season finale made sure views have reason to tune in to Season 2. In a shocking twist to a season in which several of the male characters were under suspicion at some point in time, the answer to the question of who killed Rosie Larsen, may or may not have been answered. The last 5 minutes of the show turned the tables on everything that had been assumed up until that point. While the critics were mixed in their reaction, with several of them missing the point, the series ended its 1st year with a solid ratings performance last night. Drawing 2.3 million viewers to Sunday night's closer, the Mireille Enos-Joel Kinnaman drama rose dramatically from its penultimate episode, which lured 1.8 million.

Fan reaction is mixed to the finale, but on boards across the country, the fans appear to have grasped the finales final twist and turns more so than any of the television critics.

TV & FILM/ RYAN DUNN DIES AT 34: "Jackass" cast member Ryan Dunn died early today of injuries sustained in a fiery car crash, and speed may have been a factor, police said. Dunn and a passenger in his 2007 Porsche died after the car left the roadway and burst into flames, near the Philadelphia suburb of West Chester. The 34 year old Dunn appeared on MTV shows "Jackass" and "Viva La Bam" and the 3 "Jackass" big-screen adaptations. He also was the star of his own MTV show, "Homewrecker," and hosted "Proving Ground" on the G4 cable network. According to a biography posted on his website, Dunn was born in Ohio and moved at age 15 to Pennsylvania, where he met Bam Margera on his first day of high school. Dunn, Margera, Christopher Raab (known as Raab Himself) and Brandon DiCamillo, under the moniker CKY for "Camp Kill Yourself," started making videos that featured them skateboarding and performing stunts. Dunn was working as a welder and at a gas station when Johnny Knoxville, a friend of Margera's through the skateboarding circuit, asked the crew to allow their videos to be part of the series "Jackass," which became a hit on MTV and ran from 2000 to 2002. The passenger who died in the crash had not yet been identified, police said.

He made the announcement in the form a letter. "Yikes! I can finally get back to some postings!  We've finished our first block of shooting and moved straight into location scouting. More on that soon. But today, I'm thrilled to announce two new cast members who will be joining us for our second block of shooting. Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character, the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! I'm also highly excited that Barry Humphries will be portraying the Goblin King, in much the way Andy Serkis created Gollum. Barry is perhaps best known for his business and social connections as the long-time manager of Dame Edna Everage. Evangeline and Barry, along with Welsh actor Luke Evans as Bard and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug, just about rounds out the major casting. I cannot wait to get stuck into these new scenes! More soon, including a flurry of answers to your questions. Sorry for the delay!". Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom are among the stars appearing in "The Hobbit" films, which will be released in December 2012 and December 2013.

Keller wrote the screenplay for the Marc Forster-directed "Machine Gun Preacher," which Relativity Media just acquired for a fall release, and he co-wrote Relativity's untitled Snow White project, which just began filming with Julia Roberts starring.
