Pattinson is currently working on an adaptation of the Guy de Maupassant novel “Bel Ami,” and will make his next appearance on the silver screen in March in the drama “Remember Me.

A few more takeaways (with some input from senior editor Thomas Ricker):

* Overall the device feels like a glorified feature phone, and speaking to some other tech folks here, that feeling seemed to be common. There just doesn’t seem to be a lot to it that we haven’t seen in other Samsung devices, especially considering the TouchWiz integration.
* There was an issue with flipping the keyboard from portrait to landscape — as we said the phone is early, so this may change, but we had to leave an app and reopen in the other orientation to get it working. We also noticed that there doesn’t seem to be word prediction in place right now.
* The browser is redirecting to WAP pages, so it was hard to see what the results were. We also thought the buttons were in a very odd place, making it a bit hard to navigate.
* The display wasn’t always responding to touches, and at least one unit completely froze on us.
* For those asking, from the looks of things (and the press release) there is no multitouch on this device. Correction… we just tried pinching and zooming on the phone and while it did create some kind of zoom result, it also kept giving us an error! Furthermore, when we tried to load an image heavy site, it forced the phone into its task manager mode and made us close all applications before we could proceed with using the phone. Clearly there is work to be done

A biology professor went on a killing spree, shooting three colleagues at a university campus after being told she had been turned down for a permanent job.

Amy Bishop, 42, was charged with murder after she allegedly opened fire at fellow lecturers during a faculty meeting at the University of Alabama’s Huntsville campus on Friday. Bishop had been rejected for tenure, a position that brings almost complete job security to American academics, and had lost an appeal.

Three biology professors died and three other members of staff were injured, two critically. If convicted, Bishop could face execution by lethal injection.

A man believed to be Jim Anderson, Bishop’s husband, was also being interviewed by police as “a person of interest”. Bishop was taken in handcuffs to a county jail and could be heard saying: “It didn’t happen . . . there’s no way.”

A portrait of Bishop as a brilliant researcher but a poor teacher began to emerge among her colleagues and students yesterday. And police revealed last night that she had shot dead her brother more than 20 years ago but faced no charges.

Boston police said that she had fired three shots in the family home in the suburb of Braintree, one of which hit and killed her brother, Seth, in 1986. She was then taken into custody at gunpoint but later released into the custody of her family. Records of the incident are missing from police files and a criminal investigation into their disappearance is expected.

The Harvard-educated neuroscientist, who invented an award-winning cell growth incubator with her husband, had been telling friends she was increasingly worried about her failure to obtain tenure.

Sammie Lee Davis, whose wife Maria Ragland Davis was one of the victims, said he was told that his wife was at a meeting to discuss the tenure of another staff member. He said his wife had mentioned Bishop as a woman who was unable “to deal with reality” and was “not as good as she thought she was”.

A business associate who described Bishop as “a very smart, intense person who had a variety of opinions on issues” added that she had spoken of her frustration. “She began to talk about her problems getting tenure in a very forceful and animated way,” he said.

Many students were critical of Bishop, who had joined the university as an assistant professor in 2003. Amanda Tucker, a nursing student who was taught anatomy by Bishop, was among those who had signed a petition criticising her.

“When it came down to tests and people asked her what was the best way to study, she’d just tell you, ‘Read the book.’ When the test came there were just ridiculous questions. No one even knew what she was asking,” Tucker said.

Andrea Bennett, a second-year nursing student who was at one of Bishop’s classes on Friday, described her as “very weird”. She added: “She’s well known on campus, but I wouldn’t say she’s a good teacher. She’s a genius, but she really just can’t explain things.”

OK! Magazine: ALICIA Keys will perform with Jay-Z at the BRIT Awards next week.

Empire State of Mind singer Alicia Keys will take to the stage next Tuesday alongside rapper Jay-Z at the BRIT Awards, to perform the smash single together.

Ged Doherty of the BRITs Committee said: “Alicia is a fantastic addition to the show. I can’t wait to see her and Jay-Z perform one of the biggest songs of the year.”

Other performers to appear at the show include Lady GaGa, Jay-Z, Cheryl Cole, Lily Allen, Kasabian, JLS and Robbie Williams.

There will also be a one off collaboration between rapper Dizzee Rascal and Florence and the Machine onstage.

Alicia will be celebrating at the event, after her latest album The Element of Freedom reached the UK number one slot on Monday – showing her recent experiments with her trademark sound have paid off.

Describing how the title reflects the album, she recently said: “It is a different record for me. I always have been the type of person who wants to be able to try new things with every creative thing I do.

“I want to do something new. I don’t ever want to feel I’m boxed in, in any way. So that’s definitely one of the reasons I called the album The Element of Freedom. I just really felt like that came through very clearly on all the songs.”

The BRIT Awards, hosted by comedian Peter Kay, will take place on February 16 in London – we can’t wait!
