David Lynch’s exit from Showtime’s revival of Twin Peaks turned out to be just another plot twist. The drama’s co-creator is back in the fold. Showtime conf irmed Saturday that Lynch is back and will direct new episodes of the series, which originally aired on ABC in the early 1990s. Showtime President David Nevins said Lynch and partner Mark Frost will even make more episodes than the nine originally planned. Lynch tweeted late Friday that “the rumors are not what they seem” and that he was involved again. It’s not clear what rumors he referred to. Lynch tweeted in early April that he was leaving the Twin Peaks reboot because Showtime was not providing enough money. Terms of his return were not disclosed.

Sylvester Stallone, the artist, eschews Cannes this year for his exhibit at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nice.

Beyonce paid a visit to Haiti to see the progress made since an earthquake devastated the country five years ago. Sophie Boutaud de la Combe, spokesman for the United Nations’ Haiti mission, said Saturday that Beyonce also was able to “meet some of the people who were affected by” by the 2010 disaster in the Caribbean country. De la Combe said the American singer, a 20-time Grammy winner, visited Haiti with Valerie Amos, the U.N.’s humanitarian affairs chief and emergency relief coordinator. Official estimates say the 2010 quake, which shattered Haiti’s capital and surrounding areas, killed as many as 300,000 people.

Last year at the Cannes Film Festival, Sylvester Stallone was rumbling down the Croisette in a tank to promote The Expendables 3 . This year, Stallone is on the French Riviera, but for a completely different reason — his artwork. Although Stallone is best known for his action films, he’s also a painter, and he presented his creations Saturday at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nice, France. The exhibit includes a piece titled Finding Rocky, featuring perhaps the most famous character he has ever played. Stallone said the character was an early inspiration, but now other things spark his interest. “There is no way you can’t be affected by what you see on the television, by what you see on the street, and so it definitely sinks into the work, too,” he said. But Stallone said he doesn’t think too deeply about the message his art is conveying. “My art isn’t one that educates, you know; it’s not making social statements, it’s not drawing conclusions, it’s not declaring what is right, it is not political,” he said. “It’s just one man’s struggle and success and all emotions you go along in life, ups and downs.”
