Nicole Scherzinger's Glamour UK January 2012 Feature

While she's currently making a name for herself in the States on "The X Factor," Nicole Scherzinger went back to her roots by offering up a feature for the January 2012 issue of Glamour UK.

The former Pussycat Doll is highlighted in the magazine's year-beginning installment as she chatted about a range of topics including her "X Factor" co-judges and her evolving look.

Highlights from Nicole's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out Glamour UK!

On her co-judges on "The X Factor":
"Simon encourages all the contestants to be real. Paula is even better in person. And LA Reid is a force to be reckoned with.

On her evolving look post-Pussycat Dolls:
"We really pulled out that sexy, cabaret side. I'm naturally a more boho-rock, surfer-chic kind of girl. Now that I'm coming into my own, I get to do more with my style."

On her gorgeous complexion:
"I am Hawaiian, Filipina and Ukrainian. For me, moisturizer is essential. I was, like, ten years old when I started using La Prairie!"

On her workout:
"I do a 30 to 45 minute jog twice a week and a lot of circuit training in the gym. I alternate from a few minutes of cardio to sets of 12 on various exercises. I like using 10lb. weights."

On her guilty pleasure:
"I can't resist the Red Doughboys [a red velvet cake] in Los Angeles. Oh, it makes me happy just thinking about it."

'Wrath Of The Titans' Trailer: Five Key Elements

From Liam Neeson's authoritative voice to Ralph Fiennes' villain, we glimpse what's in store for the 'Clash of the Titans' sequel.

The last time we caught up with Perseus (Sam Worthington), Zeus (Liam Neeson), Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Co. in 2010's "Clash of the Titans," the gods were playing around with human lives, the Kraken was released and destroyed, and Perseus was asked to join the ranks on Mount Olympus. And although we've long known about the film's sequel "Wrath of the Titans," we haven't had a clear look at what we'll be getting into when it opens next March, until now.

The "Wrath of the Titans" trailer is here, and it is an action-packed of sword-slinging, monster-fighting excellence. Here are the five key elements we took away from the two-minute clip:

When Liam Neeson Speaks, People Listen
Oscar winner Neeson is a perfect leader of things in film. He just has a natural gravitas and stature to make it work every time. Neeson as Zeus is a perfect example, and in the "Wrath" trailer, he uses that captivating narrator voice of his to tell the audience everything we need to know about the plot: "We Gods are losing our power. We believed the Titans to be imprisoned forever, now they're breaking free." His voice carries over shots of Titans landing in various places and starting to wreak havoc. "It would mean chaos," he says with feeling. "The end of the world."

Perseus vs. Everyone
So how do we prevent the end of this world? With Perseus, of course, the demi-god descendent of Zeus himself who saved the day in the first movie and will likely be doing the same in the second. Perseus is basically fighting various elements, monsters, gods and humans throughout the trailer, so when Zeus tells his son, "You will learn someday that being half human makes you stronger than a god," we have to believe him because how else could he survive such beatings?

Awesome CG Everything
While fans of the 1981 original "Clash of the Titans" may remember the film most fondly for its camp factor and Claymation effects, there is no room for those in the reboots. Judging by the sleek and sophisticated design we see here in the trailer — the sonic boom blast following a god's descent to earth, Hades in the Underworld, Cyclops, scary winged beasts, etc. — "Wrath of the Titans" will be a feast for the eyes and fans of highly stylized CG.

Andromeda Gets In On the Action?
Everyone loves a beautiful femme fatale, one of Greek mythology's favorite through lines, but we can all agree that it's more fun when a female lead gets in on the action. Rosamund Pike has taken over the role of Andromeda in "Wrath," and from the looks of things, wielding a sword, for instance, she might have more to do in this one than getting helplessly tied to a rock.

Ralph Fiennes Should Only Play Villains
How much do we love Ralph Fiennes as a villain? See his Oscar-nominated performance in "Schindler's List" and his brilliance as He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named in the "Harry Potter" franchise. Fiennes makes his villains look as terrible as they are fun to play. His one line in this trailer is delivered with the perfect combination of calm, confidence and cool we've come to know and love: "You're sweating like a human. Next, it will be tears."

Michael Jackson Doctor Can't Afford Lawyer For Appeal

Conrad Murray asks judge for a court-appointed attorney to appeal his involuntary manslaughter conviction.

Just weeks after being sent to jail for four years following a conviction on a felony involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson, cardiologist Conrad Murray is throwing himself on the mercy of the court.

The doctor had been slated to earn up to $150,000 a month to act as Jackson's personal physician before the pop icon's death in June 2009 from an overdose of the Murray-administered surgical anesthetic propofol. But on Tuesday E! News reported that Murray filed a notice of appeal in Los Angeles Superior Court in which he claimed that he is "indigent and respectfully requests the appointment of counsel on appeal."

Murray, 58, is planning to appeal both his conviction and his sentence, but has not yet filed papers with the California Appeals Court. He had hired two lawyers to handle his manslaughter case, but is now seeking attorneys with appeal experience. One of those former lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan, told E! that he was shocked at how his client is being treated in jail.

"It is crazy and unbelievable how [the sheriffs] are treating" Murray in jail, said Flanagan, who claimed he waited over an hour to see Murray, who was brought out in handcuffs and leg chains. Flanagan was further shocked to see Murray handcuffed to the table for their meeting, something the lawyer said he'd never seen before in the case of a low-level, non-violent offender.

Charles Peckham, who is handling civil cases against Murray, told the Associated Press that his client is under tight security and isolation that is more intense than other inmates at the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail.

"Treating him like Hannibal Lecter is offensive," said Peckham. "This man who saved lives made a mistake, and they're going to [make] him pay like a mass-murderer." Sheriff's officials defended the tight security, saying it was for Murray's safety.
