Bella Thorne may be known for her role on the Disney Channel's "Shake it Up," but the 16-year-old is saying goodbye to her Disney days for now, and saying hello to Hollywood.

Thorne has several movies lined up for 2014, including which sees her starring alongside Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. On top of preparing for that role (she'll play Sandler's daughter), Thorne has been working on her debut album.

"I don't think people realize how much work it takes to make an album," Thorne told MTV News on Tuesday (February 11). "I'm in the studio for hours in that tiny little box and really the performing part is what I'm most excited about."

Thorne, who follows in a long list of Disney-stars-turned-musicians, is hoping to release her single in "a few months," with the album following shortly after and promises that there will be a song on the album that fits everyone's musical tastes.

"Everything is very different so it is hard to say I have some Coachella music, I have some R&B, some more Ke$ha talk-y music," Thorne revealed. "I wanted there to be a song for everyone I don't want it to just be you hear a song on the radio and say, 'Oh that kinda sounds like Bella Thorne,' like she would sing a song like that. I want it to be so versatile and different."

Thorne, who said she's been listening to a wide variety of music to get inspiration, from Usher to Destiny's Child to Band of Horses, hints that there will be a ...

According to a number of sources, the first trailer for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" is coming soon and clocks in at two minutes and 23 seconds.

Obviously, this is one of our most anticipated movies of the year, so expectations are high for the sci-fi epic starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Batista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel with James Gunn directing. If the trailer is on its way, there are a few things we'd love to see in the first preview.

Chris Pratt Excellence
Marvel knocked it out of the park by casting Andy Dwyer from "Parks and Recreation" as their newest big screen hero. Any fan of the shows that Pratt can turn just about any sentence in a memorable line, so what we want to see if Pratt doing what he does: being awesome.

Rocket and Groot Speak
Now that we know who will voice the talking raccoon and tree — Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, respectively — it's time to pay off the promises of the casting news. Both hires were exciting in their own right and including the A-listers as prominent members of the team, even in voice form, will do a lot to get the uninitiated excited.

Thanos
The big purple guy is a bit of an enigma at this point. "The Avengers" teased the Mad Titan's presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Gunn has confirmed his presence in "Guardians of the Galaxy." Yet we don't know who is playing him or how significant his role will be. Any kind of insight from the trailer would be greatly ...

Casting is heating up for Fox's young Batman pilot "Ben McKenzie). Robin Lord Taylor ("Another Earth") will join the series as the Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot, Sean Pertwee ("Doomsday") as butler Alfred Pennyworth, Erin Richards ("Being Human") has been cast as Jim Gordon's fiancée Barbara Kean, and Zabryna Guevara ("Burn Notice") will be Gordon's boss Captain Essen.

While we're still waiting for the planned casting of the series' Joker, Riddler and Catwoman, the character the character descriptions offer some juicy hints as to what viewers might expect in upcoming "Gotham" storylines:

The Penguin: No Man's Land
Warner Bros. is describing Taylor's character as a low-level criminal and psychopath with the "brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal." What better place to show off that mix of madness and manipulation than in an adaptation of the sprawling, 1999 event that saw Gotham hit by a massive earthquake, one that subsequently put Cobblepot on top as the boss of bosses.

Using his connections and burgeoning clout, Penguin is able to bring in supplies to the abandoned Gotham, ultimately using his profits from his black market dealings to rise to the top of the Gotham underworld.

Alfred: The Man Who Trains Batman
Pertwee's Alfred is being described as young Bruce's fiercely protective guardian, "a tough-as-nails ex-marine from East London." In "Batman: Earth One," the character is given a similar background, serving in the Royal Marines and returning to Wayne Manor to take care of young Bruce following the death of Thomas and Martha.

But instead of simply preparing soup and driving young Master Wayne to riding tennis ...

Have you been eagerly awaiting new music from Radiohead following 2011's The King of Limbs? Well, you're out of luck. The band has, however, released a brand-new app that taps into the musical landscape of their last record.

Polyfauna is a fun little tool for iOS and Android devices that allows users to navigate an ever-changing visual world while zoning out to sounds from the song "Bloom," off of The King Of Limbs.

"It comes from an interest in early computer life-experiments and the imagined creatures of our subconscious," the band said in the app's description.

Upon firing up the app, you will be tossed into a colorful landscape that grows and changes as you move your phone. You can follow a mysterious red dot through the landscape or draw on the screen with your finger to manipulate the scene. There's also a camera function so that you can capture your creations.

Created by Radiohead, Nigel Godrich, artist Stanley Donwood and Universal Everything, the app is reminiscent of Bjork's Biophilia album app, which featured games and visual landscapes for each song on the record.

I recommend checking out this app if you're in need of a serious zone-out — one even more intense than can be afforded by listening to "Lotus Flower" on repeat or watching Thom Yorke dance.

College football star Michael Sam showed a great deal of courage when he opened up about his sexuality on Sunday, a move that could make the 24-year-old All-American the first openly gay NFL player if he is drafted as expected in May.

Now it is up to the NFL and the sports world to show the same courage and accept Sam — on and off the field.

If he's drafted, he could be a real team contributor. Last year, he was among the top pass rushers in his SEC division, recording an impressive 10.5 sacks. Those types of stats extend his football conversation past the buzz around his sexuality. Couple that athletic potential with the right sports agent, and the University of Missouri defensive end could make it big.

Sam already is represented by Joe Barkett and Empire Athletes. But if he joins the big league, he should sign with a big-league agency — our pick is Jay Z and Roc Nation Sports. (Sorry, Joe.)

In just under a year, Hov's sports outfit has made itself a major player by adding big names like NBA All-Star Kevin Durant, Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz, WNBA star Skylar Diggins, New York Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia and New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith. In December, RNS negotiated a $240 million contract for Robinson Cano, the third largest contract in baseball history and is now reported advising Detriot Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Justin Bieber's been getting in touch with his inner badass for a while now, urinating in mop buckets — and insulting former presidents — with impunity, threatening paparazzo while dressed like PaRappa the Rapper and cutting a swath of destruction that stretches from Calabasasto Canada.

Fittingly, he's also chosen an appropriate alter-ego for all that bad behavior: Bizzle, which is what he's going by on Instagram these days. The only problem? Seems Bizzle's already taken ... by British rapper Lethal Bizzle, who took to his Facebook page to express his disgust over the co-opting of his stage name.

Then again, it bears mention that perhaps Bieber wasn't aware of Bizzle's existence before he took the name ... to be honest, until I started writing this, I'd never heard of him either. But in the U.K., Bizzle's a pretty big deal, scoring a series of hits that stretches back more than a decade, making headlines for a feud with whatever this is and coining the term "Dench," which apparently has nothing to do with Dame Judy.

In short, he's probably got a better claim to the nickname than JB does. But rather than rush judgment, I've decided to compare the actual Bizzle to the Canadian equivalent, then let you decide who deserves the title. This is "Better Know A Bizzle."

Actual Bizzle: Born Maxwell Ansah, he rose to prominence in 2002 as part of the the More Fire Crew, early pioneers of the UK's grime scene, before going solo with "Pow (Forward)," ...

Getting "Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton and Jamie Bell has played to acclaim and enormous box office overseas. But when it came time for the American release, producer Harvey Weinstein insisted on dubbing the non-American dialogue rather than using subtitles; and cutting 20 minutes out of the movie to make it more palatable to middle-American audiences.

And he may have a point. The bizarre premise may play out on screen like a high-octane action thriller, but the story isn't your typical blockbuster fare. After nuclear war plunges most of the Earth into eternal winter, the survivors of the human race load into a train thousands of cars long. The train circumnavigates the Earth, never stopping because of the cold... Until a class war between the back of the train, where the poor live, and the front of the train, where the rich reside, may cause the total extinction of humanity.

With the movie once again getting great critical acclaim at the Berlin International Film Festival, a compromise was reached: the film will be released in its original form in the United States, but in a greatly reduced number of theatres.

All that, though, pales in comparison to what it took to get the original graphic novel released in France; and the story translated to film in the first place. To find out more about the book, its 30-year-long journey to movie screens, and its first ever English translation, we talked over e-mail with creators Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette:
