'X Factor' to use two hosts for new season

CowellWhile the question of who will be at the judges' table for the second season of "The X Factor" remains a mystery, two things are certain: Both those new judges will be women and hosting duties on the show will handled by two people. So said Simon Cowell during a conference call Wednesday to promote the upcoming auditions for the Fox musical competition series. In looking to replace recently fired judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, Cowell wouldn't deny that Britney Spears and Janet Jackson have been put in the mix, but so have many others. "We will meet with a number of people over the next few weeks," he said. "There is loads of speculation. There are a lot more people who have entered the fray this year. We wanted to see who would contact us before we contact people. That's a good place to be." When asked about whether the late Whitney Houston might have been a candidate to be a judge, current judge L.A. Reid said: "We would have considered it but it never quite came to that. We never actually had meetings about it." Cowell also addressed his preseason boasting on "The X Factor" ratings. For its debut season, the show averaged 12.7 million viewers and a 4.4 rating in the 18-49 demo in its Wednesday telecasts, and 12.6 million and a 4.2 for Thursdays. While those numbers were healthy, they were far below what Cowell had expected. "We were coming off a massive year with 20 million in the U.K. and I should have keep my mouth shut," he said. However, he wasn't backing down in his expectations for the coming fall season and the show's second go-around. "For every show I've been on, it grows over the years. I absolutely expect the second season to do better than the first." As for who will replace Steve Jones as host, Cowell said the job has become too big for one person and that a man and woman will share the emcee responsibilities for the new season. "What we learned is that because you have so much information to deliver, it's almost impossible for one person. It's more fun way to do it with two people. It's a different chemistry. I've always wanted a boy and a girl and that will definitely happen." Contact Stuart Levine at stuart.levine@variety.com

Kinepolis sees 30% profit hike

LONDON -- European cinema group Kinepolis reported a 30% increase in profit to 36.5 million ($47.5 million) in 2011, with sales up 6.1 % to 253.7 million ($329.8 million). The Belgium-based exhibitor, which also operates multiplexes in France, Spain, Switzerland and Poland, logged 21.3 million admissions last year, just 0.3% down from 2010. But box office revenue was up 2.1% to 149.1 million ($193.8 million), thanks to higher ticket prices. Concessions and screen advertising were also up. A Kinepolis statement said this revenue growth reflected an improvement in the customer experience from its investment in digitization, remodelling its theaters, and improving the food and drink on offer. Growth was not uniform across the territories in which Kinepolis operates. The Spanish business suffered from that country's economic woes, with ticket sales falling 7.9% to 4.2 million in the group's three sites. Belgian admissions grew 2.8% from 11 sites, while French ticket sales ticked up 0.5%. Admissions across Europe performed strongest in the final quarter of 2011, after lagging significantly behind 2010 in the first nine months of the year. France and Belgium were buoyed by strong local movies, such as "Intouchables" and "Rundskop," while the local connection of "The Adventures of Tintin" and "The Smurfs" also helped to push those films into the top five performers for Kinepolis. Despite a larger number of 3D releases, total 3D ticket sales were down in 2011, with no blockbuster to match the 3D success of "Avatar" in 2010. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Emma Watson's 'Beauty': Five Other 'Harry Potter' Fairy Tales

Guillermo del Toro is attached to direct a new take on "Beauty and the Beast," with Emma Watson set to star. Its a long-rumored collaboration that I've been looking forward to greatly, as del Toro is one of the most visual directors of our time and will also likely be able to coax a very un-Hermione performance out of Watson. The Hollywood Reporter has the news, adding that Andrew Davies will write the script. But the idea of Watson as Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" got us wondering what other "Harry Potter" stars would fit well in a movie inspired by a fairytale. Surprisingly, there are quite a few. Hollywood, feel free to pilfer our ideas. Daniel Radcliffe in "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" Obviously this adaptation of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" would go as dark as possible. The saying "cry wolf" has become synonymous with giving false alarm for something, so this version of the fairy tale would be pegged as a thriller. It could even be set in the present day! Daniel Radcliffe could easily pull off a great performance, based solely on how convincing he was in "The Woman in Black." Tom Felton in "Hansel and Gretel" Yes, I know there's a "Hansel and Gretel" movie already in the works starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, but this version would be more of a straight adaptation. Tom Felton would play Hansel, allowing him to finally nab a leading role, and I'm picturing someone very visual like Tim Burton taking the director's chair and giving the classic tale a Burton twist. Evanna Lynch in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" Evanna Lynch might be best known as loony Luna Lovegood, but it's about time she stretch her acting muscles and try a different character on for size. My suggestion is she star as the titular character in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," though a better writer than myself would give the story an edgier twist and replace the bears that Goldilocks steals porridge from in the story with real people. Suddenly the stakes get a bit higher, wouldn't you say? Bonnie Wright in "The Little Mermaid" This one gets a little obvious. Bonnie Wright is the perfect fit for an adaptation of "The Little Mermaid" if only because of her flowing red hair. This would give her a chance to shine in the limelight for once, and also get a chance to act a little bit spunkier than Ginny Weasley. Matthew Lewis in "The Riddle" A lesser-known fairy tale seems like the perfect fit for one of the lesser-known "Harry Potter" stars. Matthew Lewis would star in "The Riddle" as the prince who has to pose an unsolvable riddle to a foreign princess in order to win her hand in marriage. Obviously a writer would add some more meat to this Brothers Grimm fairy tale, but I just like the idea of Lewis finally getting to be a romantic lead.

The Secret Circle Scoop: Diana's New Love, John Blackwell's Arrival and the Balcoin Child

Shelley Hennig Who is John Blackwell's other child in The Secret Circle's coven? While both audiences and cast wait with bated breath to find out, Circle's Shelley Hennig thinks the idea of good-girl Diana turning out to be the other Balcoin child would finally explain Diana's mysterious connection to Cassie (Britt Robertson). TVGuide.com pumped Hennig for scoop on who the other Balcoin child could be, as well as the arrival of Cassie's seemingly evil father, John Blackwell (Joe Lando). Plus: Sorry, Adam (Thomas Dekker), but Diana's getting a new love interest! Exclusive: The Secret Circle casts Cassie's mysterious father John Blackwell We got a glimpse of the tragedy from 16 years ago in last week's episode, but it's still unclear what happened to most of the circles' parents. Will we get more insight into that? Shelley Hennig: What I love is that we were all hoping to know what happened 16 years ago and they do a flashback, yet now I have 10 more questions about what happened. We learn a little more each episode. The circle is pretty savvy, so I think they're going to do whatever they can to figure that out. That's been their mission since Episode 1. Because the circle is on the outs, how will they react when Cassie's father, John Blackwell, comes into the picture? Hennig: The whole circle is trying to figure out what Blackwell's intentions are, and it will be interesting to see how each person in the circle reacts to it. Diana's actually the one who's looking at it like, "Oh my God, you've got your dad back! We've all wished we could have our dead parents back, and here you are." Diana's really intrigued with him being back, but also on guard, just like the rest of us are. Will Cassie ever take her dark magic too far? Hennig: Hasn't she gotten us in enough trouble? Goodness! [Laughs] I'm sure with finding out more information about dark magic, Blackwell and the witch hunters, things are still going to be taken too far. It's kind of what you have to do in order to find out more information. The Secret Circle: Jake is back! Will the other Balcoin child be revealed? Who do you think is the other Balcoin child? Hennig: I think it'd be awesome [if Diana is] and I think it would explain the connection that Diana has with Cassie, and why she goes to Cassie when she breaks up with Adam. Like, who does that? Who goes to the girl that now has your boyfriend? I think it will be interesting whatever way that they choose. Have the actors learned who the other Balcoin child is yet? Hennig: No. Still in the dark. Not a clue. Audiences sit there waiting to watch each episode air. We're like that with the script. We're like, 'OK, are we going to get answers now?' We're all totally into this, and we talk about it all the time. Everybody has their own ideas, and it's just fun to come up with the way we think it's going to unfold. Executive producer Andrew Miller mentioned that Diana will have a love interest this season. Could he be the newly cast Australian actor Tim Phillipps? Hennig: Yes. [His character is] really handsome, really sweet and hopefully he's going to sweep Diana off her feet, if not long term, at least to help Diana get through this heartbreak with Adam. But who knows, maybe this guy's exactly what Diana needs. Even though she'll have her own love interest, how will she feel about Adam and Cassie getting closer, especially with Jake (Chris Zylka) also in the picture? Hennig: Diana's never going to forget. Let's face it: Adam's the only boyfriend she's ever had.It's going to be hard for Adam and Diana. Adam has a distraction, so it's a little easier for him, but he even knows how special Diana and Adam's relationship was.

'One for the Money' Trailer: Katherine Heigl's 'Midnight Run'? [EXCLUSIVE]

Credit Katherine Heigl for trying something a bit out of her wheelhouse? In 'One for the Money,' the controversial leading lady -- last seen onscreen as part of the ensemble in 'New Year's Eve' -- takes on the role of Stephanie Plum, the famed Regular Jane-turned-bounty hunter at the heart of Janet Evanovich's best-selling series of books. Translation: this isn't a romcom! In fact, Heigl isn't even blonde; she is packing heat and wearing a leather jacket, however, in what looks like a distaff take on Robert De Niro's bounty hunter role in the now-classic 'Midnight Run' (minus all the ex-cop stuff; that goes to Jason O'Mara as her charge/ex). A new trailer for the Jan. 27 comedy-thriller-romance has debuted exclusively here at Moviefone, highlighting Heigl's bad-ass turn, as well as Debbie Reynolds' dinner-shooting ways and Sherri Shepherd as a hooker with a heart of gold. Watch below. 'One for the Money' is out in theaters on Jan. 27. [Photo: Lionsgate] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
