It has emerged that Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to his iconic role as The Terminator in a new film.

The Hollywood star and former politician plans to make a comeback to the big screen by starring in a sequel to the four-part action movie.

After nearly 30 years since the original James Cameron flick, the former California governor has promised his fans that he would return with as much violent action as ever.

'I can step very comfortably into the entertainment world and do an action movie with the same violence that I've always done', the Courier Mail quoted him as telling the LA Times.

The film, at this stage being referred to as The Terminator 5, is in a very early pre-production stage but is apparently to be directed by Fast 5 director, Justin Lin.

New tapes could reveal Marilyn Monroe's death mystery

Recently released tapes, featuring a close confidante of late actress Marilyn Monroe, could reveal the mystery behind her death.

Monroe passed away on August 5, 1962, and the circumstances of her passing away, remain, arguably, the most mysterious and controversial death in Hollywood history.

The tapes reveal a conversation between her hair stylist George Masters and his nephew, Jeff Platts, a 60-year-old sales consultant from Southern California.

'My uncle's name was George Masters and he was Marilyn Monroe's personal hair stylist and makeup artist for a number of years leading up to her death,' AOL News quoted Platts as writing in a letter.

'He travelled with her extensively. I have some audiocassette recordings of phone conversations he and I had shortly before his death in 1998,' he wrote.

Platts revealed that Masters had told him that Monroe had made a secret trip aboard Frank Sinatra's private jet the very weekend she died, and that she had spent the night at the singer's retreat with mobster Sam Giancana.

'George specifically told me that Marilyn spent the evening with Sam Giancana,' he said.

'The only other person he mentioned that was there was Buddy Greco. No Frank Sinatra, no Dean Martin. George also said that the person she was really in love with at that moment was Sam Giancana.

'Also, if this trip did happen, it was certainly kept hush-hush. Pat Newcomb (Monroe's publicist) said she slept over at Marilyn''s house that night, but doesn't address whether or not Marilyn was there -- only that Marilyn woke up about noon.

'The housekeeper says she arrived 'early', but again no mention of Marilyn being there or not being there,' he revealed.

On the tapes, Masters said, 'Talk to Pat -- she knows everything', and he spoke about the last night he saw Monroe.

'Did you know she was pronounced dead, and then they brought her back to the house, and she was still alive, and they took her back to the hospital, and brought her back home, and then the coroners came over, and they found her dead in another bed -- somebody moved her,' he said.

In that one sentence, Masters seemed to confirm a popular theory -- that Monroe was, in fact, rushed to the hospital alive, then was doubled-back before being dumped home in what many found to be a very un-suicide-like resting position.

'And you know how she died? It was an enema. With Nembutal,' Masters said.

Platts asked him: 'For the purpose of getting high with the drugs?' Masters answered: 'No. It was because of the Kennedys. I really think the FBI did it.'

It has emerged that Angelina Jolie has reportedly signed a 6.45-million-pounds deal to become the new face of fashion label Louis Vuitton.

The contract is believed to be a record for a single advertising campaign, beating the 3.2-million-pounds deal won by Catherine Zeta-Jones to promote T-Mobile, reports the Daily Star.

It dwarfs the 2.5-million-pounds Nicole Kidman was paid to be the face of Chanel perfume and 1.9-million-pounds Gwyneth Paltrow got from Estee Lauder.

Reports in the US said Hollywood babe Angelina, 35, is due to take part in a photo shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibowitz.

The adverts for the French label will appear in newspapers and magazines later this year.

American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez has signed on to play Shira, a sabre toothed tiger that serves as a love interest for franchise regular Diego (Denis Leary) in new animated adventure Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Jennifer is not the only new star to lend her voice to a character in the forthcoming film.

The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner is to play Gutt, who is described as a 'self-styled master of the high seas', while Wanda Sykes and Keke Palmer are also committed to the project, though details of their roles have not yet been revealed.

Aziz Ausari and hip hop star Drake will also join the cast, alongside series regulars Seann William Scott, Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and Josh Peck.

The first three Ice Age movies grossed a combined total of almost $2 billion at the worldwide box office, with Fox and Blue Sky Studios predicting similar success for the new movie.

The studios have also planned a Christmas TV special, online game and mobile game for the franchise. Ice Age: Continental Drift is scheduled for release in July 2012.
