9:00PM EDT on NBCS, TSN

 STAPLES Center, Los Angeles.

The “Twilight” stud will star in the action packed thriller, “Tracers”, and – according to Deadline – the flick’s international distribution rights will be up for grabs.

Lautner channels a messenger in New York City named Cam, who is “the hottest thing on two wheels,” as he gets caught up in an organized crime ring after being seduced by a woman he crashed his bike into.

The probability of “Tracers” getting picked up quickly is highly likely – as Deadline tells that a number of bids have already been made from “a number of territories”.

The film will provide Lautner yet another opportunity to prove his acting abilities outside of the “Twilight” franchise, which will be ending later this year with the release of “Breaking Dawn: Part 2″ in November.

Techibeats.Com – The infamous party queen, Paris Hilton has recently announced that she will playing a one hour set at the Pop Music Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil followed by more shows. For a while now Paris has been trying to get into the DJ industry, with earlier talks of a house album and dating superstar DJ Afrojack but it appears that she has somehow managed to get someone to let her get on stage and DJ. I personally think this is horrible for the industry, it’s image and reputation but I suppose stunts like this are to be expected with the mainstream crossover.

Check out the article in Mixmag for all the details here.

All you need is balloons (make sure to get some long ones for bananas), green paper for leaves, twine, scissors and tape!

• Step 1: Blow up your balloons. To really make them look like fruits, size them proportionally so that a blueberry is smaller than an orange, etc. To make the grapes I taped the small purple balloons in clusters.
• Step 2: Tie the twine around each end of the balloon.
• Step 3: Cut out leaves
• Step 4: Crease the leaf to provide the 3D effect.
• Step 5: Tape the leaf to the balloon using the end of the balloon as the stem.
• Step 6: Continue tying the balloons to the twine to create the garland. Have fun fruiting!
