With Entertainment Weekly (EW)'s Comic-Con preview hitting the newsstands, a brand new photo of "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" has been unraveled by the magazine. It is the first official picture from the upcoming video game adaptation, and it features Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan, a sixth-century Persian prince.
Accompanying the photo, EW included a piece of its interview with the leading actor. "I'm tired of taking myself so seriously," the 28-year-old Academy Awards nominee talked about doing his own stunts, like sword-fighting, climbing walls, and jumping off of buildings. "It's nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, 'Actors don't normally do this.' "
Back in 2008, set photos of the actor had surfaced. Taken from the Moroccan set of the movie, the pictures display topless Gyllenhaal dressed in a full Prince of Persia's costume, while holding hands with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon. There, he is seen sporting a scruffy look with new long hairdo.
Based on Ubisoft Montreal's 2003 video game of the same name, "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" follows Dastan, a street urchin in 6th century Persia who after showing valor in battle, is adopted by the king as his heir. Now as the fate of the world is in jeopardy, he must join forces with Tamina, a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
Directed by "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" helmer Mike Newell, the Walt Disney's feature project is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Joining Jake Gyllenhaal in the cast are Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina. The action adventure movie is set to be released in the U.S. May 28, 2010.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

The cover shot shows the 16-year-old actress/singer wearing low-cut leather black outfits that shows off her black bra covering her breasts.

The particular photo shows her wearing black dress combined with knee-high black boots. She is pictured lying her back on a table while seductively starring to the camera.
In an interview with the publication, Miley talks about her new clothing line with Max Azria for Wal-Mart. She says, "The jeans are my favorite part of the entire line. Because, like, literally this is going to be good for, like, Middle America, and it will be great for kids that really want to be in fashion but that don't have it available."
Also sharing about the pressure of living a life under the spotlight, the Disney star tells ELLE, "It's hard for all of us. There are so many people that could be using you. So me and Nick and Demi, we don't need anything from each other. We got our own thing going on," when referring to her friendship with Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato.

But as much as I can say that, and mean it, I do know that God is good, and I don't know that as much as we feel, and we do, that we need Michael here with us, God must have needed him far more. Michael, I love you and I told you that many times, so I'm at peace with that."
