'X Factor' may be singing "Oops!..." over Britney
 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Simon Cowell and Fox television are gambling on pop icon Britney Spears and teen singer Demi Lovato to revive "The X Factor", but for many media watchers it could be a case of "Oops!..." did they do it again? Spears, 30, and former Disney Channel star Lovato, 19, are expected to bring in bigger, and more importantly younger, audiences when the singing contest returns for its second season on U.S. television in September after a weaker-than-expected debut in 2011. ...

Review: Harrison's "Early Takes" is beautifully bare
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Back in 2003, the surviving Beatles authorized the release of "Let It Be... Naked," an album of remixes that stripped away the most outlandish production flourishes producer Phil Spector had added to the original "Let It Be" album in 1970. In a way, the new George Harrison release "Early Takes, Volume 1" does the same thing for the former Beatle's Spector-produced 1970 solo debut, "All Things Must Pass," as, among other selections, it offers up six songs from that landmark effort in completely unvarnished form. ...
"Girl in Progress" is mother-daughter appropriate
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Just in time for Mother's Day, "Girl in Progress" is providing illustrative lessons on how to be the antithesis of an exemplary Mom. The movie's not-so-model single mum eats the last of the cereal and milk before her adolescent daughter comes down for breakfast, is sleeping with a married man and leaves the kid alone overnight while crashing drunk at a new boyfriend's house. She then has the nerve to tell her daughter, "You need to grow up!" In "Girl in Progress," the daughter is trying to do exactly that, way too fast and way too soon for her own good. ...
