Biz Stone has a deal with Grand Central Publishing for Things a Little Bird Told Me , a book about creative thinking that will include personal anecdotes. Grand Central, a division of Hachette Book Group, announced Monday that Stone's book is scheduled for April 2014. Stone, 38, has written two books about blogging: Blogging: Genius Strategies for Instant Web Content and Who Let The Blogs Out? - The Associated Press COLIN James will bring some of his musical voodoo to Winnipeg this fall.

Tickets go on sale Friday for $ 34.75 to $ 74.50 at Ticketmaster. T WILIGHT star Robert Pattinson says he was in the " very obvious throes of a panic attack" before shooting his heady new film Cosmopolis with director David Cronenberg. The British heartthrob attended at a Toronto news conference Monday to discuss the project, in which he plays a billionaire asset manager who goes on a fantastical road odyssey in Manhattan. Pattinson admitted that he and co- star Jay Baruchel were " absolutely terrified" when shooting the first scene of the film in Toronto. But Pattinson says Cronenberg's calm demeanour put him at ease, as did a preshoot chat at the filmmaker's Toronto house, where the director told him, " What will be will be." Cosmopolis , which hits Canadian theatres on Friday, is based on the 2003 Don DeLillo novel. Cronenberg kept most of the literary dialogue from the book the same in the script and co- star Paul Giamatti said the experience was " intense" and " intimidating." - The Canadian Press Colin James to mark 15 at the Burt on Oct. 30 LOS ANGELES - The flesh to loincloth ratio ( not to mention the sex to violence ratio) is about to diminish significantly on Starz: The historical period drama Spartacus will come to an end next season. The series that helped put the premium cable channel on people's radar will see the last of its fictional battles unfold in its third season, Spartacus: War of the Damned . " The fans have been tremendously supportive of our show," says creator and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight. " We did not come to this decision lightly. It was an extremely difficult and emotional decision for my partners and I. Yet, in the end, the story was best served by rolling all of the remaining action and drama of Spartacus's journey into one stunningly epic season that will be extremely satisfying for everyone who's been along for the ride." Its most recent season, Spartacus Vengeance , averaged more than six million viewers each week, according to the network. The series, which airs in 150 countries in more than 15 languages, has had to face its own set of battles since its debut two years ago. Its star Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with non- Hodgkin's lymphoma after the first season, putting a second season on pause. Instead, a prequel, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena , aired sans Whitfield. The role of the Roman gladiator eventually was turned over to Liam McIntyre for the show's second season, following Whitfield's death last year. Spartacus: War of the Damned is currently in production in New Zealand. The 10- episode season is scheduled to air in January. - Los Angeles Times Starz to end Spartacus with third season Twitter founder writing book about creative thinking Shooting with Cronenberg ' intimidating,' stars say Pattinson ( top) admits to being ' terrified' to be shooting a film with Cronenberg ( above).
