Daniel Day Lewis picked up a Britannia Award for his performance in "Lincoln" during Wednesday night's BAFTA gala in Los Angeles, but it was his acceptance speech that had people buzzing.

After accepting the Stanley Kubrick Award for Excellence in Film from his "Lincoln" director Steven Spielberg, the two-time Oscar winner began speaking to an empty chair á la Clint Eastwood talking to a fictitious President Obama during the Republican National Convention.

"I'm so happy the recently re-elected Presient of the United states of America was able to make it here tonight," Day-Lewis exclaimed after apologizing for being tired because he was up so late watching election coverage the night prior.

“This is nothing against Clint Eastwood,” Day-Lewis explained to the crowd. “But when I saw him talking to a chair in front of a roomful of strangers, I thought, ‘I’ve got to try that.’”

Looking at the empty Obama chair, Day-Lewis continue, "I know as an Englishman, it's absolutely none of my business, but I'm so very grateful it was you."

But the actor didn't stop there, he also poked fun at Rupert Murdoch's phone-hacking scandal, saying: "I'm looking around at this room of distinguished guests and I feel slightly like the odd man out because I think I'm maybe the only British subject not to have had my phone hacked."

 Watch the no holds barred acceptance speech below:

Victoria's Secret spends an estimated $12 million on its annual fashion show. 

With that kind of investment, you can bet that Victoria's Secret is going to be maximizing returns by marketing to the exact person it wants to get in its stores. 

During the fashion show yesterday, it was incredibly clear who Victoria's Secret is trying to market to:

Teenagers. 

Look at the performers Victoria's Secret chose. In years past, the lingerie giant had singers like Marc Anthony, Sting and Ricky Martin. 

This year, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Bruno Mars performed at the show. All are young, relatively new artists with tracks on pop radio. 

Bieber was prominently featured and even sang an acoustic song, "As Long As You Love Me," on the stage by himself. 

Conveniently, the world's hottest teen idol also performed as the Angels modeled the merchandise for Pink — Victoria's Secret's teen line. 

The Pink merchandise has had its own part of the show for the past few years. Before that, the show was skewed toward a larger audience. 

Victoria's Secret has been rapidly opening Pink stores around the United States. 

It's smart for Victoria's Secret to market to teens. Since Pink sales started skyrocketing a few years ago, other brands including American Eagle and Hot Topic have tried to capitalize on the teen lingerie market. 

Bieber's millions of teenage fans aren't going to miss a performance by the pop star. And that means they'll be watching the Victoria's Secret show when it airs December 4.

Fifty years after Sean Connery traveled to Jamaica in "Dr. No," James Bond is back for the 23rd time in "Skyfall," an instant classic in the Bond canon and a breath of fresh air for the franchise.

Bond has been on hiatus for close to four years, leaving some with the sour taste of “Quantum of Solace” – a bloated, action-heavy film many would rather forget. Daniel Craig as Bond seemed so promising in “Casino Royale,” his first film as the trigger-happy secret agent, where we found him playing cards, swilling martinis and bedding Eva Green.

Now Bond returns tonight in Sam Mendes’ “Skyfall,” joining forces with some old allies (Judi Dench as M) and new friends (Ben Whishaw as Q and Ralph Fiennes as a government official).

For a franchise celebrating its golden anniversary, it’s hard to imagine 007 could still surprise, but Mendes has issued a full-blown reboot, and TheWrap is here to help you catch up with seven things even the biggest Bond fan should know before seeing “Skyfall.”

Who got rid of the Bond girls?
When you think of Bond, you think of scantily clad women and passionate sex scenes -- Ursula Andress traipsing out of the water in her bikini. Denise Richards in a midriff-baring tank top. Green and Craig in a hotel in Montenegro.

This time around, Bond girls are left on the sidelines. Berenice Marlohe appears briefly for instant salivation. But aside from Naomie Harris, the Bond girls play smaller roles, and, to everyone's surprise, are mostly clothed -- no bikinis, no lingerie. Just one shower scene in the shadows. 

Craig spends more time with his shirt off than all of the women put together. Eat your heart out ladies.

Where are the exploding pens?
Every Bond fan alive has gadget-envy. From the jet pack in "Thunderball" to the stun-gun cell phone in "Tomorrow Never Dies," 007 always has an array of toys at his disposal.

No more. The more modern society gets, the less Bond has to work with. Facing the most dangerous cyber terrorist in the world, Q outfits the secret agent with little more than a gun (indeed, a special gun) and a radio.

Radio? Yes, radio.

Is James Bond too old for the job?
When we first see 007, he seems the same chiseled, debonair exemplar of British fortitude. Yet we soon discover much has changed in the world of the 00s. It appears Bond dies a few minutes into the movie, but he resurfaces as a scruffy drunk, taking shots of booze at a bar on a  tropical island. This Bond would rather fall asleep drunk at a bar than go home to his gorgeous mate.

When Bond is subjected to a full physical and mental evaluation, his fitness is failing, his aim askew and his mental state muddled.

The final installment of "Twilight" isn't due out until late next Thursday; however, fans are already lining up in downtown Los Angeles for the film.

Summit is allowing 2,200 fans to camp in front of Nokia Theatre L.A. Live prior to film release–something that's been going on since the start of the franchise in 2008.

While it may seem absurd to line up an entire week before the film's release, it actually has its rewards.

According to Deadline, not only do "Twihards" get a glimpse at stars including Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson at the red carpet premiere Monday, they also get a bunch of perks all weekend long.

Here's a few:

• Friday morning Jamba Juice is hosting a fitness workout complete with smoothie samples and a Twilight-themed workout.
• Time Warner Cable is presenting a "Twilight Fan Camp Concert" including performances by Nikki Reed and Christina Perry. 
• Sunday, The Corner Bakery is providing breakfast to fans courtesy TWC. A few members of the cast are slated appear.

UPDATE: The building Forbes has stopped paying rent on is not its headquarters building, but another building nearby. We apologize for the earlier misunderstanding.

EARLIER: Forbes, the publisher of Forbes Magazine, has a magnificent headquarters on Fifth Avenue in downtown Manhattan.

It's a freestanding stone building with a grand airy lobby and curling stone staircase. Some of the offices upstairs are adorned with gorgeous wood-paneling and antiques. The place seems more like an opulent mansion than an office building.

Alas...

According to the Wall Street Journal, Forbes has stopped paying rent on the building.*

The company has missed its last three rent payments, a Journal source says, and the default may cause a potential buyer of the building to walk away.

The building's owner, meanwhile, a New York-based real-estate developer, is "exploring legal options."

Forbes did not explain why it has stopped paying rent. 

Presumably seeking to mute concerns that the company is facing a cash crunch, a Forbes spokesperson merely told the Journal that the company is profitable.

*UPDATE AND CORRECTION: The building in question here is reportedly Forbes's building at 90 Fifth Avenue, not 60 Fifth Avenue, which is the mansion described above.

Every year since 2007, British department store John Lewis has kicked off the Christmas shopping season with a gigantic, big-budget, over-the-top Christmas ad. This year is no exception, as The Daily Telegraph's Harry Wallop reports.

The ad features a snowman, who goes on a journey, trekking across fields, rivers and mountains before before finding himself in a big, bad city. Only in the last frame of the advert does it become apparent that the snowman has been on a mission to John Lewis to do his Christmas shopping for his snow woman.

Though the company and its advertising agency, AdamAndEveDDB, ensures that the John Lewis brand does not actually feature anywhere in the 90-second advert, except in a final frame.

The advert was filmed during the summer in New Zealand, one of the few places guaranteed to be snowy in July, according John Lewis’s marketing director, Craig Inglis. The city scenes were filmed in Auckland, and the snow-covered country scenes near Queenstown. Part of the lavish budget was involved in shipping out British road signs and a red telephone box to New Zealand to ensure the city scenes looked authentically British.

The retailer, which did not advertise on the television until 2007, has won a reputation for creating memorable Christmas adverts, which have avoided the traditional fare of either celebrities or scenes of happy families gathered around the tree, which most of the high street chains favour.

Last year its tale of a boy desperately waiting for the big day so he could give a present to his parents was both widely praised and as well as parodied. On YouTube it garnered 4.32 million views.

Mr Inglis said that he was confident that people would not be disappointed that snowmen had replaced humans in this year’s advert.

“When you watch it again and again you grow to love the snowman and start to look him as a human, and you look him in the same way you did the kid last year. The snowman becomes a metaphor for that child.

“The fact is we have to keep it interesting.”

The snowman’s dauntless journey is accompanied by John Lewis’s now trademark soundtrack of a breathy, young, female covering a classic pop song. Last year it was Slow Moving Millie's cover of The Smiths' ‘Please, Please, Let me Get What I Want’. This year it is Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘The Power of Love’, sung by Gabrielle Aplin, a folk singer from Bath.

The advert, which has been trailed all week on Channel 4, will first be shown at 9.10pm on Friday during an advert break in Derren Brown's new show.

For some men, the mustache defines who they are. For Adam Garone, he's using the mustache to change the face of men's health.

Adam Garone is the CEO and co-founder of Movember -- a charity that raises awareness and money for men's health by encouraging men to grow and maintain a mustache throughout the month of November.

"Men start November 1 clean-shaven and grow their mustache for 30 days, getting friends, family, and colleagues to donate to their Mo-growing (mustache-growing) efforts," Garone told us over email.

The idea for Movember came in 2003, when Garone's brother and a friend were chatting about past fashion trends. They wondered why the mustache hadn't come back into style.

"They decided to bring the Mo (Aussie slang for moustache) back, so that year, 30 guys, myself included, participated in the first ever Movember."

The mustache, for whatever reason, sparked a lot of conversations, and the following year, Garone and his friends turned Movember into a charitable endeavor.

• In 2003, Movember had 30 participants and raised $0 for no causes.
• In 2004, Movember got 450 guys to grow mustaches, raising $43,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
• In 2012, Movember will have over one million participants.

As a whole, the charity has raised well over $300 million towards prostate and testicular cancer initiatives. It helps that Movember has a bunch of celebrities promoting and taking part in the movement, including Nick Offerman, Foster the People, "4 of 5 Romney sons," and Justin Bieber.

See Also: The 15 Greatest Mustaches In Sports History >

It's not too late to join Movember, and Adam Garone offered these words of wisdom to growing a good mustache.

"Movember is all about the journey, not the destination – any moustache is a good moustache if it's worn with confidence. The conversations that your moustache creates are what really matters, so take pride in whatever you grow."

Bottomline: grow a mustache and wear it with confidence.

CNN anchor Don Lemon was fresh off election coverage and spending six hours in an airport when he encountered actor Jonah Hill at a hotel this week.

When the 46-year-old TV journalist approached Hill to tell the "Get Him To The Greek" star he was a fan, Hill's handshake was apparently not up to Lemon's standards.

Lemon tweeted:

Hill, who initially responded via Twitter but has since removed his tweets, wrote back saying: "I said hi. What do you want me to do, move in with you? I was in a hurry. Didn't realize you were a 12 year old girl. Peace."

But Hill didn't like the accusation, and tweeted back: "I walked out of the restroom and found you waiting for me. Shook hands, said hi and was on my way. Sorry if you found that rude."

Lemon's final response to the actor read:

Watch video of Lemon talking about the encounter on "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien" ... here.

Eventually, one of the members of the CNN panel suggested a smokeout as a truce, adding, "Your love of marijuana could bring you guys together."

Lionsgate reported a big $77.5 million in second quarter earnings due in part to summer films and its huge 2012 blockbuster, "The Hunger Games."

Wall Street predicted $621.8 million in total revenue for the company, a number that Lionsgate blew past reporting a 97 percent jump to a total of $707 million in revenue.

Despite a decline 29 percent decline in television, Lionsgate reported a theatrical revenue bump of $93.9 million for the quarter ending September 30 to $116.2 million in part to three films, neither which performed especially well domestically: 

                                                       Domestic                         Worldwide

"The Expendables 2":                       $84.8 million                     $289.5 million                   

"The Possession":                           $49 million                        $76.6 million

"Step Up Revolution":                       $35 million                       $140.5 million 

However, the big revenue winner for Lionsgate were "The Hunger Games" DVD sales. Released August 18, the film sold 3.8 million DVD and Blu-ray copies opening weekend.

Since then, Lionsgate hasn't updated how many copies of the film have been purchased; however, the company says its $261.9 million revenue in entertainment revenue for the quarter–an $141.5 million increase over last years same quarter–is primarily in part to DVD sales.

Last year, during the same quarter, theatrical releases brought in $120.4 million.

"The Hunger Games" has earned $686.5 million to date worldwide.

The next big money maker for Lionsgate should be Twilight (from its Summit acquisition in January) which is already garnering lines of fans in downtown Los Angeles before its premiere next week.

Karlie Kloss just walked in the Victoria's Secret show the other night. 

Now, there are reports the 20-year-old is dating 27-year-old financier Joshua Kushner. 

Kushner has a connection to the Trumps: his brother, Jared, is married to Donald's oldest daughter, Ivanka. 

UsWeekly reports: 

"They are really cute together," a source tells Us of Kloss and her handsome beau, a social gaming entrepreneur and venture capitalist who's pals with Ashton Kutcher (a successful dot-com investor in his own right).

At Lavo, the insider continues, the 27-year-old Instagram investor "seemed nervous and shy around everyone but handled it well. Karlie is stunning and the sweetest girl ever. She stuck close to him."

 Victoria's Secret had no comment. 

Here's a picture of Kushner:

"The Hangover III" won't be out until May 24 of next year, but we're starting to get an idea of what Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms will be up to in the latest sequel.

Director Todd Phillips has uploaded a bunch of photos from the set featuring the Wolfpack to Instagram.

From the looks of the photos–and a synopsis Warner Bros. released back in September–the gang is setting off on a road trip with a pit stop back at Caesar's Palace from the first film at some point along the way.

Check out the photos below:

Here's a shot of Stu, Phil, and Doug at what looks to be a funeral. If that's the case, this is probably how the film starts out since Warner Bros. released the film doesn't begin with a celebratory-like event.

According to Phillips, here's a shot of Cooper from Day 31 of filming.

It looks like John Goodman and Justin Bartha (Doug) are in on the trip, too.

There's Caesar's in Las Vegas.

That could be a shot of Ken Jeong's (Mr. Chow) stuntdouble in the background or it could be Peter Chao who's rumored to be Chao's son on IMDB.

Letting Alan drive is probably a poor decision. Letting Alan drive a convertible is a worse decision.

Galifianakis always wears one stand out outfit in every film. 

Could this be Alan and Doug (or Phil) in the pig masks?

Despite their reputation for violence, not all video games are about zapping aliens or shooting zombies.

Plenty offer gentler amusements, like tending a virtual farm or playing a relaxing round of golf. And a few take their inspiration from business and management. Players can assume the role of a football-team boss in "Championship Manager" or an aspiring transport magnate in "Railroad Tycoon".

Even the evil overlord in the 1997 classic "Dungeon Keeper" must make sure to pay wages to his vampires, dragons and trolls, lest the workers rebel.

As video games have grown from an obscure hobby to a $67 billion industry, management theorists have begun to return the favour. Video games now have the dubious honour of having inspired their own management craze. Called "gamification", it aims to take principles from video games and apply them to serious tasks. The latest book on the subject, "For the Win", comes from Kevin Werbach and Dan Hunter, from the Wharton Business School and the New York Law School respectively.

Gamification proceeds from the observation that, to non-players, a lot of what gamers do looks suspiciously like hard work. Improving a character in "World of Warcraft", an online fantasy game, is a never-ending treadmill. The most dedicated players sign up for weekly sessions with two dozen other players which can last for several hours--vital if they wish to defeat the toughest monsters. Jokes about the game being a second job are common. Other gamers will spend hours trying to shave fractions of a second from a record lap time in a driving game or chasing a high score in "Angry Birds".

All this is fascinating to management gurus, who come from a world in which people must usually be paid to undertake repetitive tasks. Games not only subvert that rule, they invert it completely: players will happily fork out good money for the privilege of being allowed to attempt arbitrary jobs. What if, say the gamifiers, it were possible to identify the "special sauce" responsible for this strange effect, extract it and then slather it onto business problems? Can the compulsive power of video games be harnessed to motivate workers?

In "For the Win", readers are told of an internal Microsoft competition to hunt down translation mistakes in its Windows operating system. Points were assigned for spotting mistakes and totted up on a companywide leaderboard. The mixture of instant feedback (via the points) and competition (through the leaderboard) provided a powerful spur. The entire Japan office took a day off from other work to hunt down mistranslations--great for motivation, but perhaps not for productivity. LiveOps, an American firm whose employees do call-centre work from home, uses leaderboards and points to boost productivity, while a series of "badges" (modelled on video-game "achievements", given for completing certain tasks) denote mastery of certain skills.

Games can be used for enthusing customers, too. Fitocracy, a fitness website, lets its users set up "duels" with each other, to see who can get the better jogging time. An escalating series of "levels", a concept invented to measure a character's power in role-playing games, is a frequent feature of gamification schemes.

Does gamification merit the hype that has quickly surrounded it? The idea is only a couple of years old, but it has already spawned a host of breathless conferences, crowded seminars and (inevitably) TED talks.

Some video-game designers are opposed to the idea on principle, arguing that gamification is really a cover for cynically exploiting human psychology for profit. They compare many of the games beloved by the gamifiers, such as "World of Warcraft", to slot machines, with rewards carefully doled out in order to keep players hooked. Others argue that gamification usually misses the point, focusing on incidental features of video games such as points, badges and instant feedback while ignoring the deeper features--like being able to explore freely a virtual world--that actually make them fun. And the benefits, the critics say, are likely to be transient. When a player gets bored of a video game, it is easy to buy another. When workplace games become dull, they are not so easy to put aside.

Level-headed management types, meanwhile, say that many of the aspects of gamification that do work are merely old ideas in trendy new clothes. High-score lists for sales staff, for example, have been around for decades, as have employee-of-the-month contests. Airlines were giving points and perks to loyal customers long before anyone had heard of "Farmville".

Game over

Messrs Werbach and Hunter accept much of this criticism. Indeed, they go out of their way to warn aspiring gamifiers of the many pitfalls they face. Trying to enliven boring, unskilled work is risky, they say: presenting cutesy badges to call-centre staff can easily come across as patronising rather than motivating. Workers already toil for a reward--money--and will be suspicious of attempts to introduce a new form of compensation that costs their bosses nothing. The authors cite psychological experiments suggesting that intrinsic rewards (the enjoyment of a task for its own sake) are the best motivators, whereas extrinsic rewards, such as badges, levels, points or even in some circumstances money, can be counter-productive.

The problem is that, after the authors have finished instructing their readers in what not to do, the concept of gamification is left looking somewhat threadbare. That is a shame, because their central idea--that the world might be a better place if work was less of a necessary drudge and more of a rewarding experience in itself -- is hard to argue with. But then perhaps it is called work for a reason.

Now that we know Disney plans to make three new "Star Wars" sequels, attention has turned to who will write and direct the movies and what the plot will be like.

New York Magazine reports that Disney has hired Michael Arndt, the Oscar-winning Writer of "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Toy Story 3" to write a 40 to 50 page treatment for the next film. Arndt could also be one of the people hired to write the full screenplay.

It's also possible Disney will hire back Mark Hamill, Carrier Fisher, and Harrison Ford to reprise their roles as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo, respectively.

During Disney's Q4 earnings call, CEO Bob Iger gave no details on the upcoming "Star Wars" movie; however, he did give a hint at how the company plans to brand George Luca's lucrative company. 

For the release of "Star Wars: Episode VII," Lucasfilm will be co-branded with Disney much similar to that of Pixar.

"The Star Wars brand, I think, basically doesn't need much help except to, obviously, will I think benefit greatly from the release of a film," said Iger. We intend in that case to co-brand ... Disney-Lucas or Disney-Star Wars in some form, different forms."

Given Disney / Pixar's branding, we imagine the design may look something like this:

Here are a few other points Iger made during the call about the future of Lucasfilm:

More "Star Wars" online merchandise

According to Iger, the Lucasfilm acquisition won't affect retail strategy, but there may be a push for "Star Wars" Web sales with Iger saying there's "real potential" for online merchandise.

Disney may consider acquiring any other Lucasfilm rights Fox holds

Any rights 20th Century Fox may have to distribute future "Star Wars" flicks won't affect Disney. However, Iger says Disney may acquire rights from News Corp. down the line.

"Fox has certain distribution rights to films that have already been made and released and will be released in varying forms going forward as they did recently with the 3D release of one of the Star Wars films … We may choose at some point after closing to explore that, but all the value they were looking at is going forward value associated with all the rights that we bought from Lucas and any new IP that is created … is not encumbered by any of the deals that Fox had."

Is Star Wars Clone Wars Moving To Disney XD?

Though Iger didn't confirm it, Disney XD will most certainly feature Cartoon Network's current "Clone Wars" cartoon series. Iger strongly hinted toward opportunities Disney has with Lucasfilm on the kid's channel citing its successful roll out of Marvel shows on the channel toward a younger male demographic.
