Isabel to Star in Upcoming TV Series Vampire Knight
The Popular Anime Makes It's American Live Action Debut in 2016!



Fresh off the success of her first starring role in the teen drama hit series Alistair, and Netflix series Obsession, Izzy is once again hitting the television for what's sure to be another classic role. For those of you who are familiar with Japanese culture, anime is a HUGE deal. That being said, there are tons of popular anime (Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, Naruto) and the list goes on! And of course, America is obsessed with creating their own adaptation of things (See petitions to stop the upcoming 'Death Note' movie) but sometimes not always being successful. However, we have a feeling this might be completely different than others. One of hollywood's favorite pop stars is heading to television, once again, to star in the adaptation of Vampire Knight. The series debuted in 2004 and has gained a huge following after making its American debut in 2008. Anyone who is a fan of the series knows the story centers around a young girl named Yuki Cross, her best friend Zero Kiryu, and the mysterious Kaname Kuran. Izzy will play as Yuki Cross, one of the main protagonist. The series, we have learned, will also be produced by Julie Plec who is the executive producer and creator of the CW's The Originals. We are also being told the series will follow more of the manga and anime combined and some of the names will change. The ages will also be changed as in the anime, Yuki is 14 years old. More details will be announced later on but for now, we're kind of already excited!

So far only Izzy's role is confirmed but we're sure to find out some of the other cast members in the upcoming weeks. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the series, here's a little summary:

Vampire Knight tells the story of Yuki Cross. Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, where she was attacked by a rogue vampire and rescued by Kaname Kuran, a Pureblood vampire. Now ten years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross, has grown up and become a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her childhood crush, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of vampires at the elite boarding school. At her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend whose hatred for the creatures that destroyed everything he held dear leaves him determined never to trust them. She and Zero try to keep peace at the academy, making sure no problems arise between the Day Class (humans) and the Night Class (vampires). However, the peace they try to keep is fragile, and personal feelings begin to interrupt their dutThis coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? Because in this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems. And the price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death. Should Yuki truly find out what was in her past, is the truth going to hurt her worse than not knowing? It's based on the manga by Matsuri Hino.

Will this new series be a hit like Alistair or a miss?

Billy & Jerry Are Engaged!
Pop Stars Are Set to Tie the Knot Next Year



The couple have been together for well over a year already (how time has flown!) and now it seems like Billy Khan and Jerry Holmes are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. It has been confirmed that the pair are engaged and set to marry in early 2016, meaning that there won't be long to wait for all of the adorable wedding pictures to surface and weep over.

Once sworn enemies in boy band land, Jerry and Billy have come a long way and have become one of our favourite couples over here at Culture Uncut. Unlike Khan's previous relationships and Holmes' often "TMI" tweets, the pair have been rather secretive when it comes to their private life. OK, there may have been the odd war of words here and there but what do you expect from two of the most volatile personalities in showbiz? They did manage to keep their relationship under wraps for a long time though; avoiding paparazzi, hiding from close friends and family and basically the whole world for months. While Khan has always made it apparent that he is bisexual, Holmes shocked us all when their relationship was revealed. Anyone reading Jerry's old tweets would never imagine him falling in love with another man due to his fixation on the female anatomy and his raunchy messages directed towards female acts such as Lotus. Billy and Jerry have obviously put a lot of time and work into their relationship; making sure Holmes was comfortable enough before coming out to the world, secretly and constantly reworking their busy schedules to make time to see one another and also give each other time to figure out whether marriage was the right route to go down before going public. That's right, the couple have been engaged behind the scenes for "MONTHS" according to Billy who broke the news when he took to Twitter.



Despite being only 22 years of age, this will mark Khan's second wedding. His first marriage to Andrea Mason was heavily publicised and has now gone down in the history books as one of the most infamous celebrity marriages. The volatile relationship continuously churned out reports of alleged adultery, domestic violence and substance abuse all while the pair tried to raise their newborn son, Daniel Jaedan Khan. Although nothing has been officially confirmed from neither Andrea or Billy, none of these reports have ever been profusely denied in any interview given by either party. The pair split in 2013 but remain "good friends", with Billy still managing Andrea's music career. Andrea later confirmed that she knew of his ex-husband's engagement months before it became public news and is supporting of the decision and their relationship:



Billy's close friends Kai Rollins and Honor Wynter are also gearing up for their own wedding next year which will no doubt have Billy on the guest list and we can assume the couple will play important roles in the Khan's bid day too. There's going to be a whole lot of cake, confetti and congratulations going around in 2016. No official date has been confirmed for the wedding but it has been speculated to take place within the first quarter of the year to avoid clashes with Weekend's European tour which will take up most of next summer.

Congratulations!

Aaron & Chaelin Do More Than Just Meet Up In Japan!?



The one and only Aaron B Styles heads to Japan for the premiere of the block buster movie "Evangalion". The young talented actor causes a frenzy due to the many Asian celebrities he has been seen hanging around with lately, but only one seems to catch the eyes of many fans. Chaelin. Yes people, Chaelin! The young rising artist from the Korean girl group "C.M.B.D" has been seen and even photographed hanging around Aaron. The two were spotted leaving a five star Japanese restaurant for brunch and later the two were seen entering a famous art museum. The rising starts even took a picture together in front of one of the famouse pieces inside the museum. Many insiders report that Aaron and Chaelin share an interest to the Art's & Fashion so a museum was perfect for the duo.

An employe was reached from the Japanese meusum and had this to say.

Quote:

They looked like the best of friends. They laughed and even shared opinions on many of the art pieces. They walked around together and even separated from the group tour to look at the 3D art section alone. He even compared her asian beauty to one of the many pieces he liked.

Many report that it's just a friendship that started off on twitter and is now finally being seen in the public. Chaelin was possibly showing him Tokyo's many famous tourist hot spots, but many speculate that the friendship can blossom into something bigger or it has already begun to become something more than a mutual friendship. Possibly a relationship? We don't think so due to the age difference and both of their affiliation with Weekend's Riley Hamilton, but if it's true...CONTROVERSY!
