What's common between Naomi Watts, Princess Diana?
London: Actress Naomi Watts, who is essaying the titular role in
`Diana`, shares a sense of humour similar as the late Princess of
Wales, who tragically died in a car crash in Paris in 1997."Regarding
similarities between Naomi and Diana - they both like to tell dirty
jokes," femalefirst.co.uk quoted director Oliver Hirschbiegel as saying.
Watts agrees with the director. According to her, Diana used to also like telling jokes at the start of her day."Yes,
why not? A good dirty joke, every now and then. Early in the morning,
(on set) before conquering the day! Diana used to do that too, that`s
true," she said.
The 44-year-old hopes that people will
concentrate on the elements which relate her to Diana rather than what
makes them different.
Watts has been earlier been a part of films like `Tank Girl`, `Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering` and `Sleepwalkers`.

Jessie J. Is Killing Music
Fans of Jessie J classics like ‘Do It Like A Dude’ and ‘Price Tag’ should go crash a different party immediately. Park your wondering if the song is more over-produced…or over-sung?
Never mind that this track is essentially a cover of ‘It’s My Party (And I’ll Cry If I Want To)’ that adds nothing while draining the original like an out-of-ideas pop vampire.
And, just take in the fact that this video packs more product placement than a Michael Bay movie. Credit where credit’s due: that Beats by Dre ‘Pill’ speaker (which Jessie endorses in real life) shines in its supporting role.
Hard to believe this hot mess comes from the same Swarovski-coated lips that once opined:

Bow Down: No One Will Ever Be Able To Out-Diva Mariah Carey
Dislocated Shoulders Can’t Stop Her Diva
A little while back Mariah dislocated her shoulder on the set of a video. Rather than cancel some of her upcoming appearances, she started rocking these insane blinged-out, feather-clad arm slings everywhere because that’s what divas do.
Sometimes She Gets Married At Disney World
Only Mariah would hit up Disney World after-hours for a vow renewal ceremony like no other. This year she and hubby Nick Cannon celebrated five years of wedded bliss (and the second birthdays of their adorable twins) with a wedding at the happiest place on Earth.
Even Her Instagram Account Is Blinged Out
Have you ever just scrolled through someone’s Instagram photos without really paying attention, and still been blinded by all the diamond necklaces, butterfly rings, and studded stilettos? No? Then you haven’t been to @mariahcarey before.
She Was The Best Thing To Happen To Her Husband’s Show
Mariah recently made a guest appearance on her husband’s MTV show Wild ‘N Out, and shut the whole thing down. During a skit in which Nick was supposed to hit on another woman, Mrs. Cannon came on the scene and totally stole the show. The moment was epic, her tube top was epic, and the whole thing was hilarious.
Her Christmas Comes But Twice A Year
Winter Snowstorm Nemo might have gotten some folks down, but not The Diva. She literally used the storm as an excuse to celebrate Christmas in February. When she shared this video on Twitter, some folks thought she’d kind of lost it (we all remember the post-Glitter meltdown), but in reality this is just a true diva gone wild. Not everyone can get away with these kind of antics, but it’s Mimi’s world and we need to learn how to live in it.

Angelina Jolie, Steve Martin and others to receive The Academy's Governors Awards
Beverly Hills, California: The Board of Governors of the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present Honorary Awards to
Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin and Piero Tosi, and the Jean Hersholt
Humanitarian Award to Angelina Jolie. All four awards will be presented
at the Academy’s 5th Annual Governors Awards on Saturday, November 16,
at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center.
“The Governors Awards pay tribute to individuals who’ve made indelible contributions in their respective fields,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “We couldn’t be more excited for this year’s honorees and look forward to bringing their peers and colleagues together to celebrate their extraordinary achievements.”
Martin, who got his start in television, is a versatile actor, writer, comedian and musician who began to display the breadth of his big-screen talent as the screenwriter and star of the 1977 Oscar nominated short film `The Absent-Minded Waiter.` He wrote and starred in `Three Amigos`, `Roxanne` `The Pink Panther` series and `Shopgirl` which he adapted from his critically acclaimed book of the same name.
He also is a three-time host of the Oscars, most recently in 2010 with Alec Baldwin.
Jolie, who won an Oscar for her supporting performance in `Girl, Interrupted,` has been an impassioned advocate for humanitarian causes, traveling widely to promote organizations and social justice efforts such as the Prevent Sexual Violence Initiative. Her dedication to these causes has also shaped her work in films that tackle global humanitarian issues including `A Mighty Heart` and her feature film directorial debut `In the Land of Blood and Honey.`
The Honorary Award, an Oscar statuette, is given “to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”
The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, also an Oscar statuette, is given “to an individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry.”

Ben Affleck will do good as Batman: Stan Lee
Los Angeles: Comic book legend Stan Lee is sure that actor Ben
Affleck will do a brilliant job in the role of Batman in `Man Of Steel`.
"He`s a good actor and I wish him all the luck in the world. He`ll probably do a good job as Batman," contactmusic.com quoted Lee as saying.
Fans of the film don`t seem to support the casting, and they have even launched an online petition in order to force the filmmakers to look for a different actor to essay the part.

Bollywood Updates
Bigg Boss 7: Salman Khan drops a bomb, says would not want my kids to watch the show!
Mumbai: In a recent interview with a reputed newspaper,
Bollywood actor and Bigg Boss host Salman Khan said that he would not
want his kids to watch such obnoxious stuff on TV.
While talking about the fights on the show, Salman said that he does not like contestants going overboard with fights.
"I don`t like it at all. I just feel that there is always somebody younger and somebody older who is watching the show. So, if I am a parent, I would not want my kids to watch such obnoxious stuff on TV. I understand when contestants get into genuine fights inside the house, but don`t appreciate it when they fight only to create noise and get publicity,"
Salman was quoted as saying.
While the show is promoted as a family show, the content aired on it — right from the cat fights to the language used — is far from it.
And now with the host of the show himself confessing that he would not want his kids to watch something like that, it`s time the audiences gave it a second thought.
After rom-com ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’, Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Phata Poster Nikhla Hero’ comes across as a simple childlike Hindi film that now is a rarity. The film starring Shahid Kapoor and Ileana D’Cruz is one of its kinds because the audiences have now matured and expect more than what has already been delivered.
Santoshi’s previous film- ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’- had laughter elements scattered across the film evenly. But that’s not the case with ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’, where the audiences are left to wonder whether to laugh or cry!
That’s certainly doesn’t mean that the film isn’t worth a laughter. A number of thoroughly entertaining comic sequences are sporadically placed in the film. Nonetheless, some clichéd filmi scenes peppered on the top somewhat dilute the true essence of the film.
The story is about a small town mother’s aspirations and her dream to see her son becoming an honest police officer. Savitri (Padmini Kolhapure) wants her son Vishwas (Shahid Kapoor) to join the police force. But her son is a wannabe actor who cannot think of anything beyond films.
Savitri, raises her son with great difficulties and instils good values in him. She doesn’t want him to indulge in anything that is unethical. But her son has other plans.
The acting ka keeda in him tempts him to opt for a different route to build a career- yes a career in films. He dreams of becoming a superstar.
The wannabe actor gives a miss to his enrolment in the Mumbai police for his Bollywood aspirations. His chance encounter with real goondas while he is wearing a fake Police uniform helps him meet his ladylove Kajal (Ileana D’Cruz).
Kajal, who is a socially responsible young woman, is stumped by Vishwas’s daredevilry as he accidentally becomes a catalyst in rescuing an innocent girl from the clutches of the goondas.
And the silsila of Kajal’s misunderstanding continues. In the meanwhile, Vishwas gets the shock of his life when he is informed of his mother’s arrival to the city. And the troubled son looks for ways to keep pretending to be a Police Officer.
But how long will Vishwas be able to keep his mother’s Vishwas in him intact. The remaining part of the film answers the question.
Coming to the acting- ‘Phata Poster Nikhla Hero’ is an out and out Shahid Kapoor film. The actor delivers applause worthy performance in the film which has him in the limelight from the start to finish. ‘Barfi!’ girl Ileana has very little screen space yet manages to impress. And ‘fabulous’ is the word for veteran Padmini Kolhapure.
The songs in the film are a treat to the ears. The picturisation of the song ‘Mere Bina Tu’ will certainly remind you of ‘Tu Jaane Na’ featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif from Santoshi’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’. And the song ‘Main Rang Sharbaton Ka’ by Atif Aslam and Chinmayi Sripada is truly melodious.
PPNH in totality doesn’t have too much to offer apart from Shahid’s flawless performance. The screenplay was good but the story failed to hold the attention of the audiences.
The first half of the film promises sheer entertainment. But the film goes flat in the latter half. Santoshi’s idea was good but perhaps he failed to implement it well.
If you want to take your kids for a movie, then ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ is definitely a good choice this weekend. And even otherwise if you still want to watch the film, do not go with great expectations.

Hazel Keech first to exit 'Bigg Boss-Saath 7' house
New Delhi: British-Indian actress Hazel Keech Saturday became
the first celebrity to get evicted from the house of reality television
show `Bigg Boss-Saath 7` after spending just six days there. She says
she will treasure the experience for the rest of her life.
"`Bigg Boss` has been a great experience and I will treasure it for rest of my life," Hazel said in a statement.
The 26-year-old was placed in the hell section of the house, and she had befriended everyone there.
Hazel maintained a low profile on the show, but she participated actively in the `wheel task` on the show. Despite her language barrier, the actress was seen taking much effort in learning to talk in Hindi.
"It was quite easy for me to adapt to the place in spite of the limitations and it fortunately worked well for me. I met new people, made friends and also learnt that it is very important to have a positive energy when you are in the house," she added.
The actress is known for sharing screen space with actor and host of the show Salman Khan in the movie `Bodyguard`. Before she had entered `Bigg Boss`, she had said in an interview that she will try to adjust with everyone in the house.
"I am not the kind of person who can have an agenda or try to be anyone else, who I am not. I will try and adjust and do the best which I can," she had said.
Now the `Bigg Boss-Saath 7` house is left with 14 contestants, who will struggle to survive inside the house surrounded by as many as 72 cameras.

Bollywood has no stories to tell: John Abraham
New Delhi: John Abraham, who has been propagating off-beat and
"sensible" films in a space full of masala entertainment, believes that
Bollywood currently lacks "sensible" stories to tell.
"We lack stories. We have no stories to tell. We put five songs with five comedy scenes and say it`s done," John told reporters in an interview.
That`s one reason why the 40-year-old is loving and enjoying every bit of his new role as a film producer. Thanks to it, he is being able to serve the audience with eclectic movies - the entertaining "Vicky Donor" and the engaging "Madras Cafe".
"I love the role of a producer because I make the kind of films which I want to make. I make sensible films. I think `Vicky Donor` and `Madras Cafe` are examples enough about the cinema which I want to propagate," he said.
John, who has been in the film industry for a decade, is all for a healthy mix of genres at the box office.
"While we keep making formula films, as a producer and an actor, I want to say let`s make sensible films which the audience will accept. I want to thank them for accepting a film like `Madras Cafe`," he said of his movie, which focusses on the Sri Lankan civil war.
In fact, now John, a former supermodel, himself is open to the idea of producing a masala film.
"I`d love to produce a big masala film, and I will make sure that you are genuinely entertained by it," he said.
As an actor, he admits it has been "important to be a part of commercial films and to entertain people".
"At the end of the day, people want to laugh and enjoy. But if I am doing a `Race 2`, `Housefull 2`, `Dostana 2` or a `Welcome Back`, it is important that I make sure that a `Madras Cafe` is also made.
"John Abraham is known to do a mix of films. If I do a `New York`, I will do a `Kabul Express` as well. It is important to balance it out," John added.
He says it`s been fun to be a part of true blue Bollywood entertainers.
"I don`t regret it. They are fun. I am not condescending towards them, but it is good to have a balance of both. I love slapstick comedy. The best case in point is `Chennai Express`. I am sure I will enjoy it. But I feel it is interesting to make a `Madras Cafe`," he said.
Irrespective of the genre, the story line is prime.
"I feel that only a good story line can get you respect. Commercial is a by-product, you will make money... but a good story line will get you respect," said John.

'Krrish 3' is Hrithik's career best: Vivek Oberoi
Mumbai: Actor Vivek Oberoi says Hrithik Roshan, who features in a
triple role in `Krrish 3`, has delivered his career`s best performance
in the sci-fi movie.
"`Krrish 3` is one of Hrithik Roshan`s career`s best performance," Vivek said here in an interview.
"To play three characters - Krishna, Krrish and Rohit and to play them so differently in one film...especially there are scenes where they (Hrithik`s characters in the film) are talking to each other and the performances are so beautifully done that they look like different people...It is an outstanding performance," added Vivek.
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, `Krrish 3` is the third film in the franchise that began with `Koi Mil Gaya` in 2003. It also features Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut.
Vivek even recalls an incident when during the dubbing of the film, he became teary eyed after watching Hrithik`s performance in one of the scenes from the movie.
"When I was dubbing for the film, there was a very emotional scene of Rohit, being played by Hrithik in the film and his performance and emotion in that scene was so deep, so beautiful that it touched my heart deeply. I was choked in that moment," recalled the 37-year-old.
"I couldn`t speak, there were tears in my eyes. I remember stopping the dubbing (in between), came out and called up Hrithik and said,` I love you man, what a performance`," he added.
"So to all the fans of Hrithik out there, I would like to say watch out for `Krrish 3`. It is probably the best performance of his career as yet," Vivek said.
