Ahead of the Curve: Weekly pop culture calendarJamie Foxx is returning to the silver screen this month, with Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” — and he’s returning to the small screen, too, with a hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live.” In other exciting news: Ne-Yo will make his "SNL" debut as the musical guest. Here's what else you shouldn't miss this week: Anne Hathaway: Babies on the brainAnne Hathaway wants a baby — like, really. The actress is on two new magazine covers, thanks in part to her buzzy role as Fantine in this year’s adaptation of “Les Miserables.” She’s featured solo on Vogue, while part of a group for The Hollywood Reporter. The one thing both interviews have in common? How much Hathaway has decided she wants a child with her husband, Adam Schulman.

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, who play vampire Edward Cullen and werewolf Jacob Black, respectively, dropped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to promote "Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” which covers the second half of the last book in Stephenie Meyer's series. During the interview, set to air Friday, DeGeneres asked how they plan to capitalize on the franchise's success after the final film is released on November 16. Pattinson said he has some ideas for where his character can go next. Civil Wars tour canceled over ‘irreconcilable differences’Joy Williams and John Paul White of The Civil Wars have announced that they're facing an internal struggle of their own.
