Timberlake releases new song Suit and Tie

Justin Timberlake released his new single, Suit and Tie, on Sunday night. It features the rapper Jay-Z. The upbeat jam is the 31-year-old's first musical offering since 2006's Grammy-winning FutureSex/LoveSounds. His third solo album, The 20/20 Experience, will be out later this year. On his website, Timberlake said he began recording music in June. "The inspiration for this really came out of the blue," he wrote. Timberlake co-wrote and co-produced Suit and Tie with Timbaland, who produced much of his 2006 album. The buzz around his return to music kicked off on Friday when he posted a video on his website that showed him walking into a studio, putting on headphones and saying: "I'm ready." – AP

Spielberg postpones new sci-fi film

Steven Spielberg has indefinitely postponed Robopocalypse, announced the film's distributor Walt Disney. A source says the director was dissatisfied with the script and production budget estimates. The sci-fi movie was set to begin production this spring and be released in April next year. No new date was announced. Robopocalypse, starring Anne Hathaway and Chris Hemsworth, is based on Daniel H Wilson's futuristic novel about a war between humans and robots intent on destroying them. "It's about the consequences of creating technologies that make our lives easier and what happens when that technology becomes smarter than we are," Spielberg recently told TimeOut Film. The script, written by The Cabin in the Woods writer and director Drew Goddard, wasn't "landing where Steven wanted it", according to the source. – Reuters
