"Star Wars" fans gear-up - a new film from the franchise will be released in 2015. Disney bought Lucasfilms - the studio behind "Star Wars" - and said not only will it make the seventh film in the series, but will continue to make new ones every two to three years. The last "Star Wars" film was 2005's "Revenge of the Sith." Gene Hackman was questioned by police in New Mexico after hitting a homeless man. The man allegedly accosted Hackman and his wife, after which Hackman slapped him across the face. Police did not file charges, citing that he acted in self defense. Cee Lo Green is the subject of a police report, filed with the Los Angeles Police Department - this according to online tabloid TMZ. An unidentified woman has accused the singer of sexual battery, stemming from an alleged incident at an L.A. restaurant. Green has come out in his defense saying not only is he not guilty - he's never met the woman in question. Finally, Uggie - the dog made famous by his role in "The Artist" - has now penned - or pawed - an autobiography. The Jack Russell terrier's book was launched in the UK, with people lining up to purchase the first copies. The book has been described as a "rags to riches" story, detailing how Uggie was rescued by his owner and his path to Hollywood.
