Akshay Kumar bowls for England in 'Patiala House' Watch online Trailer mp3 songs and wallpaper

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 07:27 PM PST


Akshay Kumar plays a pace bowler who wants to play for English cricket team but faces stiff opposition from his father Rishi Kapoor in Patiala House.

Director Nikhil Advani has put behind him the debacle of Chandni Chowk To China and has taken a leap to Southall, London, in his latest film Patiala House. The movie stars Akshay as a talented bowler who gets a chance to play for the English team. But his father, a stiff-upper-lipped patriot, is too proud an Indian to let his son play for the Brits.

So, our hero is stuck in a dilemma. Should he stick to the humdrum existence of running the family shop in Southall or should he follow his dreams.

The movie also stars Anushka Sharma and Dimple Kapadia.

Catch the film's first trailer below:

Aishwarya Rai might sue Elle

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 06:56 PM PST


Aishwarya Rai seems to have taken a serious note of the public outcry over her preternaturally fairer image on the cover of Elle magazine.

The actress hasn't taken kindly the apparent doctoring of her image in which her skin has been made paler to give her a Caucasian appearance. And reports say that she might even consider suing the magazine if indeed it is proved beyond doubt that her skin was made fairer.

Lately, Ash has been occupied with her father's illness and hasn't been very forthcoming in her reaction towards the controversy.

But sources close to her are quoted as saying that she's shocked that leading magazines still resort to racist prejudice while pitching models and actresses on their covers.

Aamir Khan wanted to play an 18-year-old in 'Dhobi Ghat'

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 06:41 PM PST


At 45, Aamir Khan is still game for playing an 18-year-old. Well, such was the irresistible charm of the character that his wife Kiran Rao had penned in her directorial debut Dhobi Ghat.

When Aamir heard the script, he was so bowled over by it that he wanted to act in it. And he wanted to play the role of an 18-year-old dhobi. But the role eventually went to Prateik Babbar.

"When I heard all the characters, I really liked Prateik's character and wanted to do that. But the character requires someone who looks 18-19 years old. So to prove it to Kiran that I can look that young, I did 3 Idiots. But she still didn't agree. Thankfully she gave me some role in her film," Aamir said while promoting the film at Andheri.

The media persons were surely surprised to see Aamir at the do because earlier at the unveiling of the first look of the film, his wife Kiran Rao had said that she wants Aamir to stay away from the promotions so that limelight is not taken away from the movie.

"I was never meant to be away from the promotions of the film. I'm very proud of the film and I'm part of it, since I'm the producer and have also acted in it. Even Kiran can't keep me away from it," Aamir said.

Set to release on January 21, Dhobi Ghat also stars Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra, Kitu Gidwani and Nafisa Khan. It tells the story of four characters in downtown Mumbai. Though each comes from a different class of society, their lives are subtly intertwined.

[ItzToday.com] David Beckham to face sex scandal ­accuser in court

[ItzToday.com] David Beckham to face sex scandal ­accuser in court


David Beckham to face sex scandal ­accuser in court

Posted: 26 Dec 2010 10:36 PM PST

David Beckham to face sex scandal ­accuser in courtLondon, Dec 26 (IANS) Football star David Beckham, who has been accused of bedding a sex worker, will face the woman in a US court hearing within the next few weeks, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Beckham was due to give a formal statement in the case before Christmas. But his attorneys managed to have the hearing postponed until after his family festivities with wife Victoria and their three young sons.

Beckham, 35, launched his 16 million pounds legal action against hooker Irma Nici, 25, and German-owned US magazine In Touch over an article in which she claimed he hired her and a "curvy brunette" for sex romps at New York's Le Parker Meridien ­Hotel in 2007.

Bosnian-born Nici is ­counter-suing the former England star for a million dollars, claiming he caused her "emotional and ­physical pain and distress".

She alleges a writ server hired by Beckham's legal team chased and harassed her so severely she ended up in a hospital cardiac unit ­suffering intense chest pains.

Now, as a result of her counter-suit, he will be ordered to give his deposition - the US equivalent of swearing an affidavit - at a private hearing within the next month.

Unlike the British legal system, Nici will be allowed to fire ­questions at the football star about their ­alleged ­liaison.

Nici's lawyer Paul Jensen has ­revealed he may unveil the mystery brunette, who would also be allowed to grill Beckham.

An LA Galaxy team mate said: "David will have his own lawyers present, of course. But he's still ­angry and fearful that he may be forced to divulge matters about his private life. This whole case has become a thorn in his side. I'm not saying he regrets suing the magazine and this woman, but I don't think he realised how ­intensely personal the ­pre-trial ­system can be over here."

Nici's attorney has also filed a ­motion to dismiss Beckham's case against her, which will be heard at Los Angeles Superior Court Feb 16.

Jensen insisted: "Even his own lawyers don't expect to win this ­litigation. California law does not ­allow public figures like David ­Beckham to stifle free speech."

The future doesn't look all bleak for Beckham, however.

He could be asked to captain a Great Britain team at the 2012 Olympics in London. Organising committee chairman Seb Coe and Prince William are said to be "100 percent" behind the idea, which could provide Beckham with the ­ultimate swansong to his career, reports dailystar.co.uk.


Susan Boyle says 2010 best year ever for me

Posted: 26 Dec 2010 10:32 PM PST

Susan Boyle says 2010 best year ever for meLondon, Dec 26 (IANS) If 2009 made her a star, Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle says 2010 is the year she came of age.

What could be termed a fairytale rise to fame, in 2010, "Britain's Got Talent" winner Boyle met the Pope, smashed world records for music sales, performed to millions around the world and even got a cherished diamond bracelet from ­music moghul Simon Cowell, reports mirror.co.uk.

"It's been an absolutely fantastic 12 months. The year 2009 had been the best of my life and I never thought it possible to top it - but 2010 did just that," said the 49-year-old.

"This past year has been my growing-up time. I know there's still a long way to go in my journey but I hope to prove to people that dreams don't have an expiry date," she added.

Not bad for a woman who, just 18 months ago, was living in a council house in ­Blackburn, West Lothian, with her cat ­Pebbles.


Halle Berry cancels daughter's meeting with Sidney Poitier

Posted: 26 Dec 2010 10:29 PM PST

Halle Berry cancels daughter's meeting with Sidney PoitierLondon, Dec 26 (IANS) Oscar-award winning actress Halle Berry was forced to postpone a meeting between her daughter Nahla and her acting hero Sidney Poitier after paparazzi ruined the special get-together.

The actress arranged to spend time with the Oscar winner earlier this month as part of a photoshoot and an interview and she thought it would be nice for her daughter to meet the man who had meant so much to her while she was growing up, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

But when photographers learnt about the top secret meeting and showed up outside Poitier's Beverly Hills home, they terrified the two-year-old and she had to be led away in tears by a nanny.

"Sidney is part of our history. He's a legend, and one day I knew she (Nahla) would thank me for allowing her to be in his presence," said Berry.

"I was supposed to come over for Thanksgiving this year... I have to bring my daughter back. She has to have this experience," she added.


Veena Malik says I wanted to do mischievous things on 'Bigg Boss 4'

Posted: 26 Dec 2010 10:01 PM PST

Veena Malik says I wanted to do mischievous things on Bigg Boss 4Mumbai, Dec 26 (IANS) Veena Malik's intimacy with Ashmit Patel in the "Bigg Boss" house set the TRPs soaring, but it wasn't enough for her as the controversial Pakistani beauty says she wanted to be more naughty on the reality show, but decided otherwise.

"Ash-mit is a sweetheart. He's my buddy. If there was anything more between us, I'm bold enough to admit it. But there's nothing beyond friendship between us," Veena, who is single and is waiting for her prince charming, said in an interview.

"Trust me, I wanted to do a lot of mischievous things on 'Bigg Boss'. But I restrained myself. I never thought of a Bollywood career. It will be a matter of great pride for me if anyone will think I fit in among the Indian beauties. Pamela Anderson told me I'm a warrior. So I'd like to do an action-comedy role in Bollywood," she added.

Excerpts from an interview:

Q: Veena Malik, what are you all about?

A: Ha ha. This is me! It isn't an act. This is the way I am. You saw me on 'Bigg Boss' - how could I keep up an act for such a long time? The fact that the people in India have liked me so much, makes me so happy.

Q: You recently came into the limelight with an outburst of controversies. What have you set out to achieve in your life?

A: (Thinks) I've never planned anything in my life. By god's grace people gave me so much love over here. Trust me, I'm honoured. This is my achievement…that people in India gave me love. Right now I'll go back to Lahore to do a show for a leading news channel. I came here with a message of peace and love.

Q: You've a very Indian name.

A: Yes (laughs), I am glad I am called Veena. People often wonder whether I am a Pakistani or a Hindustani. When I started my career in Pakistan, people thought I was an Indian girl.

Q: You have performed comic roles in Pakistani films? What plans for Bollywood?

A: Trust me, I wanted to do a lot of mishchievous things on 'Bigg Boss'. But I restrained myself. I never thought of a Bollywood career. There are so many beautiful actresses here and I am their fan. It will be a matter of great pride for me if anyone will think I fit in among the Indian beauties. Pamela Anderson told me I'm a warrior. So I'd like to do an action-comedy role in Bollywood.

Q: What's the status of your relationship with Ashmit Patel?

A: Ash-mit is very important to me. Believe me, he gave me tremendous emotional support. But let me tell you, all the gossip linking me with Hrishant Goswami and Ashmit is untrue. Hrishant wasn't even a friend. I admire him for being a goodlooking man. I'm the kind of woman who can never go by without complimenting a goodlooking man. I liked him. But that's it.

As for Ash-mit, he's a sweetheart. He's my buddy. If there was anything more between us, I'm bold enough to admit it. But there's nothing beyond friendship between us. 'Agar hamari zindagi rahi to hum phir milenge'.

Q: So, who's the special man in your life?

A: Right now I'm single waiting. I am waiting anxious for that special entry in my life by someone special.

Q: Do you regret your expose on your former cricketer boyfriend Mohammad Asif?

A: I don't want to go into too many details. But I will say this. I went out of my way for him. Whatever he did or said about me about our personal relationship, I didn't mind. But what he did with the emotions of thousands of cricket lovers by cheating crores, I couldn't tolerate that. I'd have never opened my mouth about what he did to me on a personal level. But I can't forgive him for what he did to the country. Even today I stand by my expose.

Q: What are your plans now?

A: Please believe me, I did't go on 'Bigg Boss' for the money. The prize money is meaningless to me. Allah ka diya hua mere paas bahut kuch hai. I am a woman of plenty. I came to India and 'Bigg Boss' to spread the message of love. It was being said before me that artistes from across the border had no acceptance or support in India. I've disproved that. I'll always be happy to return to India any time. My visa expires now in a few days. So I've to return to Pakistan. But I'll be back soon.

"It would be a story on the growth of the brothers and the problems that arise because of their independent understanding and working of the business empire of the father, a split within them and so on," he added.

Also starring Jaya Bachchan, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor, the movie was the highest grossing Indian film in the overseas market.

An active blogger, Amitabh has now left his decision for the Part II on the fans' discretion.

"I tell him I shall run a reaction to this on my blog and seek information on its feasibility. So what does everyone feel? Yes or no? (sic)... Tel me tell me tell me...no," he wrote.


Vidya Balan says glad youth are no longer armchair activists

Vidya Balan says glad youth are no longer armchair activistsNew Delhi, Dec 27 (IANS) "No One Killed Jessica" actress Vidya Balan says she feels glad that today's youth are not just clear about their opinions but know how to voice them and drive the government to act - as was seen in the Jessica Lall murder case.

"I think it's very interesting that youth are voicing their opinion on issues and willing to participate through blogs, SMSes and even social networking sites. And the media has helped youth a lot in mobilising public opinion. I am glad youth are not armchair activists saying justice should be meted out. Youth of today say, 'We can be part of the process to make sure justice is given'. It's wonderful," Vidya told IANS in an interview.

The 32-year-old has a vivid recollection of youth participation during the over-a-decade-long legal battle following the murder of model Jessica Lall, who was shot dead by Manu Sharma, the son of a Haryana politician in 1999.

"Back then all of us felt very strongly about it. I remember college students were incensed by what had happened. I am talking about the time a little later than 1999... the case was still going...and there was a fervour across the country. Sitting in Mumbai, people were doing signature campaigns and everyone felt involved in some ways. So it's nice to see youth have force," she said.

In Rajkumar Gupta's "No One Killed Jessica", releasing Jan 7, Vidya will be seen essaying the role of Sabrina Lall, Jessica's sister who fought day in and day out to get justice for her younger sister. After living the part in the reel, she hopes no one goes through the experience in real life.

"I would not want anyone to go through any legal battle for so long because the legality aside, it is emotionally draining. I do think that the verdict reassured my faith in the judicial system of the country, but, again, as a citizen I wish justice had been meted out earlier than it was," said Vidya, who has teamed up with Rani Mukerji in the film.

Vidya never got a chance to meet Sabrina Lall in person before or during the shooting of the film.

"Rajkumar Gupta was very clear that all I needed to know was the facts of the case. He wanted me to chart out an emotional journey of Sabrina on my own. Also, we didn't want to misuse her kindness because she was kind enough to go through our script and give her consent to our film. Sabrina's emotional journey is the core of the film. But, yes, it is a feature film...it is about stirring people's emotions," she said.

Does she hope the film will inspire youth to be more vocal?

"I have never thought how inspirational could the film be for viewers. If it happens to inspire, great! But we have not set out to make the film for that purpose. What really inspired us was the spirit of Sabrina... spirit of all those people who played a role in the case," Vidya added.
