Makeups, Breakups, and Foam Fingers: Miley and Liam's Relationship Timeline

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were one of Young Hollywood's power couples, and after four tumultuous years, they've finally called it quits for good. Don't hold your breath for another reconciliation this time, since Liam seems to have already moved on. From a meeting that was literally out of a Nicholas Sparks novel to the haircut that changed everything and the twerk that was the final nail in the coffin. we're taking a look back at all the ups and downs in the Miley and Liam saga with this handy timeline.
June 2009: Miley and Liam film The Last Song, which is the setting for their first kiss. Unless you're already married or have no soul, it's apparently impossible not to fall in love on the set of a Nicholas Sparks movie.
September 2009: The two are caught in the middle of said kiss and confirm that they are dating.
March 2010: The couple make their red carpet debut at the premiere for The Last Song. She is clearly excited to show him off to the world.
August 2010: Miley and Liam split for the first time. And so the roller coaster begins.
September 2010: They make up and start dating again.
November 2010: Kaput again! The world feels yanked around. The tabloids are happy.
April 2011: They're a couple once again. Could they be in it for the long haul this time? For a while the answered seemed to be yes because they're able to avoid drama for a year, and then...
May 2012: They're engaged! Things are looking really promising now, until...
August 2012: Miley cuts off all her hair, and the downward spiral begins.
December 2012: The couple are still going strong, as they're seen on a romantic vacation in Costa Rica.
January 2013: Rumors of another breakup start circulating after Miley is seen without her engagement ring. The couple will not be photographed together for the next five months, during which Miley starts to twerk more and wear clothes less.
June 2013: The couple are finally photographed together on a date night. Will this finally put all the breakup rumors to rest?
August 2013: Miley supports Liam at his Paranoia premiere, and they still look like a happy couple. But don't get too excited.
August 2013: Miley gives her infamous twerking performance at the MTV VMAs. It may have been the performance of her life, but it spelled death for her and Liam. He is reportedly "shocked" and "embarrassed" by her performance, and it doesn't look like the couple will be able to recover.
September 2013: And so it ends. The couple officially confirm that they called off their engagement, and Liam is caught kissing Mexican singer Eiza Gonzalez the very next day. Miley even unfollows Liam on Twitter, so you know they must be over for good.
Let's try to remember them in happier days:

Cate Blanchett's Directorial Debut Could Be Brilliant

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MAY 10:  Cate Blanchett speaks with Sydney Theatre Company Artistic Director, Andrew Upton during the launch of 'Suncorp Twenties', a new theatre ticketing initiative on May 10, 2013 in Sydney, Australia.  (Photo by Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images)
Cate Blanchett is, without a doubt, one of the great actors of our time. She's been delivering powerful performances for the past 20 years, with her roles in films like The Aviator, Elizabeth, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button just a few on a long list of great works. We were so excited to learn that the amazing Aussie talent is getting ready to go behind the camera, as she'll be making her directorial debut with an adaptation of the bestselling novel The Dinner. Here are a few reasons we're expecting very big things from this project.

How Jennifer Lawrence Can Take Her Career To A Whole 'Nother Level

2013 Film Independent Spirit Awards at Santa Monica Beach - Arrivals    Featuring: Jennifer Lawrence  Where: Los Angeles, California, United States  When: 23 Feb 2013  Credit: FayesVision/WENN.com
Earlier this year Jennifer Lawrence took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Tiffany in the critically-acclaimed film Silver Linings Playbook. She is now the second-youngest Best Actress winner and the youngest person to ever receive two Oscar nominations for Best Actress. Suffice it to say, she’s doing just fine and really doesn’t need our help. In her next few films we’ll see her re-teaming with her Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell, and of course the rest of The Hunger Games films are headed our way. But if J-Law wants to take her career to a whole ‘nother level, we can think of a few directors who might be able to make that happen.
 Derek Cianfrance (The Place Beyond The Pines, Blue Valentine)
Okay first of all, a movie with Cianfrance almost automatically means a movie with Ryan Gosling. Can you imagine the scenes d’amour in this one? Exactly. Lawrence’s role in Winter’s Bone showed critics and audiences that she can do gritty, and she can do indie. We’d love to see her get back to some of that—but with a little bit of romantic intensity – by teaming up with Cianfrance. Plus, again, it's important to stress: that Gosling/Lawrence love scene would be all kinds of insane.
Sofia Coppola (The Bling Ring, Lost In Translation, Marie Antoinette)
In the upcoming period piece Serena, Lawrence will work with award-winning director Susanna Bier. We’d like to see her team up with more women behind the camera, and we think Sofia Coppola could really cook up a great role for her. Actresses like Scarlett Johansson, Kirsten Dunst, and Emma Watson have benefited greatly from being in her films, and we can easily see Lawrence transforming into one of her fascinating characters.
Lee Daniels (The Butler, Precious)
Okay, even we’re a little scared about this mash-up. In fact, we respectfully request that Jennifer Lawrence not make any movies with Lee Daniels for at least another five to seven years. Daniels is no joke — his films are often beyond gritty, beyond intense, and most of us still feel like we should go hide in a corner and peek through our fingers during the majority of his sex scenes. But he’s definitely the go-to guy if you want to do a film that makes you pretty much unrecognizable as an actress. Folks like Halle Berry, Mo’Nique, Nicole Kidman, and Zac Efron have him to thank for certain big moments in their careers. If Lawrence ever gets tired of looking like America’s sweetheart, this would be the route to go.

Tina Fey suffered wardrobe malfunction at Emmys


Los Angeles: Actress-writer Tina Fey suffered malfunction when she went to accept her award for best writing for a comedy series at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards here.
Fey along with Tracey Wigfield received the award for the show "30 Rock", but before she went to give her acceptance speech her loose dress ended up exposing her breast, reports hollywoodlife.com.
The 43-year-old was dressed in a cobalt blue Narcisco Rodriguez halter gown. The flowing gown showed off her curves.

Victoria Beckham partners with Skype to tell fashion journey


London: Victoria Beckham has teamed up with web video chat service Skype to tell her fashion journey in a new format.
The designer will allow fans a brand new insight into her creative process via the web video chat service and give audiences the opportunity to engage directly with her and her design team, reported Contactmusic.
A launch has been confirmed for this Autumn and the company said they are thrilled about their new partnership.
The company post read, "In just five short years, Victoria Beckham and her team have built a hugely successful international fashion brand. A journey which Skype is proud to have played a part in enabling.
"Skype will bring the story of a driven designer and businesswoman to life in a groundbreaking storytelling format, as well as offer inspiration to fashion enthusiasts, aspiring creatives and entrepreneurs.

This is the first move into fashion by Skype and the new venture comes after Victoria revealed she often uses its video services to conduct importance conference calls. 

The Vampire Syllabus: You Can't Matriculate Without Seeing 'Near Dark'

For urban creatures of the night — I'm referring here to Eighties club kids — The Hunger was the be-all and end-all. It so captured the sexuality of the post-punk zeitgeist, it put director Tony Scott on the map. But there's another flick for vamp majors obsessed with a complete education, from another director you may have heard of, Kathryn Bigelow.
The characters of Near Dark are the poor relations of Scott's upper-class predators. But they have something The Hunger completely passes over: American-outlaw-blue-collar hotness. The film quietly seethes with a swagger that can only be described as Western. It is wild, unkempt, brutal and appealing, an intergenerational drawing match over sex and supremacy. It is sexy, down to the bone, pure Cowboy Punk.
Jenny Wright and Adrian Pasdar play out an undead Romeo and Juliet story so scorching you won't know where to look first. She's lonely, she turns him, but her posse is pissed. They reluctantly take in the small town boy, and careen through the desert in an RV with blackened windows, part man cave, part coffin, on a sociopathic Kerouac road trip.
You can certainly rent it. But I suggest a permanent download.


New UK to feature couples having sex in a box

Wellington: A new television show is all set to feature couples having sex in a sound-proof, opaque box in a studio, complete with an audience.
In the show, `sex box`, intended to `reclaim sex from pornography`, the couples will be quizzed on their sex lives by a panel of experts after they emerge from the box, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Host Mariella Frostrup , 50, told a UK publication that she hoped the show would spark a "mature, intelligent discussion about sex in Britain today".
She said that the sex we see on screen, in magazines and increasingly online bears little relation to the real experiences of real people, but this will be a frank conversation about an essential element in all our lives.
The panel of experts will include relationship adviser Tracey Cox, sex columnist Dan Savage and author Phillip Hodson.

"I reached out to her and asked if I could come and be a part of her project and she was kind enough to invite me out there. And we did some work together," aceshowbiz.com quoted Drake as saying.

The rapper then went on praising the "Single ladies" singer.

"I believe strongly in her talent and her position in our generation. I think she`s one of the biggest stars






Still Just Being Miley: Cyrus Gets A New 'Rolling Stone' Tattoo

Miley Cyrus
It seems like lately there's been more Miley Cyrus antics to report every day. This time, Cyrus kept her clothes on for a change, and instead celebrated her first Rolling Stone cover the old fashioned way. How? By getting a tattoo, of course! The singer got the name of the magazine tatooed on the bottom of her feet, and revealed the ink via her Instagram account, with the caption "#rattatattat @RollingStone".
However, we can't help but wonder why the singer chose this particular location for her latest tatoo - after all, won't the ink get worn away after one too many nights of dancing? Also, does anyone else think that her decision to replace the "s" in "Stone" with a dollar sign is some sort of shout out to fellow pop star Ke$ha?

'New Girl' Recap: It's Like 'Mean Girls,' But With More Cat Murder (Season 3, Episode 2)

NEW GIRL:  Jess (Zooey Deschanel) tries to impress a clique of teachers at her new school in the "Jacooz" episode of NEW GIRL airing Tuesday, Sept. 24 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. ©2013 Fox Broadcasting Co.  Cr: Jennifer Clasen/FOX
Coming off of last week's Season 3 premiere of New Girl, which finally put to rest the will-they-won't-they of Jess and Nick's sexual tensioned filled relationship (they're officially together, everyone), Tuesday's "Nerd" episode got back to the usual sticky situations that those loft friends so often get themselves into.
Plots: Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) figuratively time warp back to high school and have to figure out how to fit in with the "cool kids" that are Jess' new teacher colleagues, Schmidt (Max Greenfield) still has to decide if he wants to be with Elizabeth (Merritt Wever — congrats on your Emmy) or CeCe (Hannah Simone), and  Winston (Lamorne Morris) vies for the heart of his lovely Daisy (Brenda Song).
Once a Nerd, Always a NerdIn the A-plot of "Nerds," Jess frets that she's not fitting in with her fellow teachers at her new job (side note: when did Jess get a new job?). Nick, being the kind-hearted but misguided person that he is, offers to help Jess mingle with the hip teachers that she so desperately wants to be friends with. The "cool" teachers, who definitely would have been the popular and mean kids in high school, pick on Jess until Nick pulls out a few tricks (offering them school supplies and endless free booze) to buy their friendship. Unfortunately, Jess ends up trying too hard to impress them (she stands in a toilet and sings for them and then breaks into her boss' backyard while they ditch her), but good ol' Nick Miller comes to the rescue. He lets Jess know that he would have noticed her in high school (d'aww), and then they get it on in the teachers' lounge.
This plot was actually pretty endearing. Yes, it was incredibly painful and awkward to watch Jess be bullied by the mean crew, but her "old man" (the name that Nick wants her to call him) was there to save the day. He may have a habit of messing everything up, but he cares enough about Jess to realize when he's being a total dud and needs to clean up his mess.
Ladies' ManMeanwhile, Schmidt tries to balance his two relationships since he still hasn't broken up with one of them. In the classic two-date situation, Schmidt must figure out a way to keep CeCe and Elizabeth away from each other at a work party. His Schmidt-hating coworker keeps on trying to ruin things for him (she's jealous of his new office), but somehow he pulls off the whole scheme. Elizabeth walks off believing that CeCe is catering the event, and CeCe thinks that Elizabeth works at the company. Ladies, you're not as smart as I thought you were. Well, I take that back — Elizabeth, you're not as smart as I thought you were.
Oh, Schmidt, you poor idiot — decide between Elizabeth and CeCe already! Everyone knows how this situation is going to turn out: Schmidt finally gets caught and then both of the ladies dump him (and probably cause him physical harm). Either that or they all turn to polygamy (hey, it could happen).
Cat LadyThe third plot of this episode involves Winston pet-sitting Daisy's cat Ferguson (because of course that would be the cat's name). Thinking that Daisy wants to take things further since she's trusting him with her cat, Winston adorably asks Daisy to be his girlfriend. Daisy says yes, but it's apparent that there's an unknown man in her shower (in other words, she's sleeping with someone else). To get back at Daisy, Winston feebly attempts to kill her cat, but comes to terms with being a person with a soul and decides to let Ferguson live. When Daisy comes to pick up Ferguson, Winston officially dumps her and refuses to let her keep the cat (because both him and Ferguson "deserve better").
Does anyone else remember when Winston used to be the too-cool-for-school archetype in New Girl? When did he become the guy who's ferociously bad at pranks, wears a sweatshirt as pants, and spends a whole episode trying to kill a cat? Whenever it happened, it looks like the writers aren't turning back now. They've found Winston's niche and they're sticking with it, just like they have with all of the other main characters: Jess is eccentric, Nick is a bumbling fool with (mostly) good intentions, Schmidt is neurotic, and Winston, well, Winston isn't quite right in the head. God bless them all.
Some of the Best Moments and Lines from This Week's New Girl Episode
- "Did you say that cats are obsessed with your nipples?" - CeCe to Schmidt
- The fact that two of the mean teachers are Angela Kinsey (Angela from The Office) and Dreama Walker (June from Don't Trust the B— in Apartment 23) and that they take liquid ecstasy.
- "Leave it to me to fix it." - Nick to Jess (I've never felt more scared for Jess' life).
- Nick thinks half of a ripped dollar equals 50 cents.
- "My heart is a two-man bike and I want you in the rear." - Winston's ideal way to ask Daisy to be his girlfriend
- The boys sing/shout "I Believe I Can Fly" to wake up hungover Jess.
- "Now I'm no plumber, but I'm 99 percent sure there was a guy in her shower." - Winston to Nick
- The ways Winston tries to kill the cat: strangle it with a rope, whack it with a bat, bludgeon it with a shovel, beat it with a hammer, and smother it with a pillow.
- The fact that Elizabeth might be more sexually adventurous than Schmidt (she's down for all sorts of fantasy situations).
What did you think of the episode? How far do you think Schmidt's love triange is going to last?

Watch Justin Long Facebook Stalk Evan Rachel Wood in the Trailer for 'A Case of You'

 
Facebook stalking is a time-honored tradition designed to make us feel better about ourselves and research blind dates before we actually have to spend time getting to know them. Everyone's done it, even if they don't want to admit that they have. It makes sense, then, that Hollywood would eventually pick up on such a popular habit, and use it as the key plot device in a romantic comedy. That's right: there is actually going to be a movie about Facebook stalking.
A Case of You centers around Sam (Justin Long, who is also a co-writer and co-producer), a shy, awkward writer who strikes up a conversation with a pretty barista named Birdie (Evan Rachel Wood) and then proceeds to woo her using the information on her Facebook profile to turn himself into the perfect man. Somewhere between being a terrible rock climber and posing as a guitar player, Sam's scheme works and Birdie falls in love with him. Only, he now has to deal with the moral dilemma of making the girl of his dreams fall in love with a false version of himself. Oh, and Peter Dinklage is there, stealing the trailer with blonde highlights and an impossible-to-pronounce name.
A Case of You
Based on the trailer, A Case of You will either raise some interesting questions about dating in the Internet age, or, more likely, it will be another sappy, quirky rom com about allowing love to bring happiness and meaning into your life. Unfortunately for Wood, who is an extremely talented actress, the character of Birdie appears to be yet another Manic Pixie Dream Girl, as we can tell from her unusal name to the unflattering striped blazer she wears with a bowler hat. Although, the writers do get some credit for not going overboard on the twee-factor and having her learn the banjo or didgeridoo. It's a shame — the concept behind the film is interesting, and we'd love to see a film which didn't bury it underneath so much quirk.
A Case of You will be released in theaters, on iTunes and On Demand on November 6.

Teens to Watch Out for: Tavi Gevinson

TORONTO, ON - SEPTEMBER 07:  Actress Tavi Gevinson of 'Enough Said' poses at the Guess Portrait Studio during 2013 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2013 in Toronto, Canada.  (Photo by Jeff Vespa/WireImage)
You can envy her, but Gevinson’s success in the blogging world and her eventual twitter fame and opportunity to gallivant with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars didn’t drop into her lap one night. 

For the better part of three years Gevinson worked on her fashion blog Style Rookie, started when she was a pre-teen. As she grew older and was faced with those issues everyone experiences when beginning high school and maturing as teenagers, she couldn’t find a website that truly catered to the actual, real lives of people her age.
“I felt like there wasn’t a magazine or website for teenagers that spoke to me or had the kind of stuff I’d be interested in reading, and I knew I couldn’t be the only one,” she said.
Topics covered on rookie.com include anything from sex, religion and feminism, to body image and bullying.
“These things were becoming relevant in the lives of the people around me, my friends and other girls,” Gevinson says.
The online zine has grown from 30-40 writers to about 80 currently and for Gevinson, the route to a print publication, Rookie Yearbook, was a natural one.
“There were certain fashion magazines that I collected every issue for years, so I think just a selfish part of me wanted that,” she said. “I also think that we attract the kind of readers who appreciate that — who like being crafty and really give a lot of value to their favorite movies and books.”
But like rookie.com, the Yearbook is very much about the writing.
“There were just so many pieces on the site that I felt ‘these can’t just exist in pixels, and float around cyberspace,’ they needed to be documented in this more tangible way.”
Rookie Yearbook One, which came out last September, was the first in what Gevinson hopes will be a four-part series. Her knowledge from the initial publishing experience has helped her and her team this time around, allowing her to take a more hands-on part of the process. Also differing from the first, the second edition will be a bit more gender-neutral both in design and content.
And, although rookie.com is aimed towards teenage girls, that doesn’t stop some guys from taking a peek at it every once in a while.
“I’ve been very happy to get a number of emails from guys being like, ‘I never understood why girls felt that way or felt offended by that and now I do’,” said Gevinson. “Some guys are like, ‘I like this even though I’m a guy and I relate to it’...because ultimately we’re all people.”
Even if she could use a little more sleep some days, Gevinson’s drive is fueled by her readers.

“Girls will say ‘this helped me when I was feeling suicidally depressed’ or a few girls have said ‘that one article your writer penned has helped me get over an eating disorder or convinced me to get help’...that’s the most you can hope for with something like this. That’s really the most gratifying part,” she says.
When the going gets tough for Gevinson, like it does for all high schoolers, she reflects back on TV star Rashida Jones' words from one Rookie interview: “it doesn’t get better, but you get better.”
“You never get to a point when things are totally fine and you have to let yourself mess up,” she says.

BOLLYWOOD UPDATES

Salman's hit-and-run case: Court rejects activist's plea


Mumbai: A sessions court today rejected the plea of a social activist seeking to intervene in the 2002 hit-and-run case allegedly involving actor Salman Khan to help the prosecution in the trial.
Judge S D Deshpande ruled that only an aggrieved party, complainant or witness had a right to intervene.
In this case, the applicant, Santosh Daundkar, was neither a witness, complainant nor an aggrieved party. Hence, he could not be allowed to intervene, the court said.
The court also rejected Daundkar`s another plea seeking transfer of his complaint from magistrate court to sessions court about perjury action against Salman and police for allegedly producing wrong witnesses in this case, as a result of which the trial was delayed.
The judge held that he had no jurisdiction to transfer the complaint. He asked the applicant to approach a higher court or the Principal Judge of Sessions Court in this regard.
On Salman`s plea for a direction to media to report true and fair proceedings of the 2002 hit-and-run case, the court deferred its order till October 15 saying the Bombay High Court was seized of this matter.
The court said that Salman had already moved the High Court by filing a defamation and civil suit against some media channels for allegedly not correctly reporting the proceedings of the case. As the matter was pending in High Court, the sessions court did not give any ruling on the actor`s plea.
The judge observed the high court had already given an interim ruling that the media should provide a fair and objective reporting in the case involving the film star.
Salman`s lawyer Shrikant Shivade argued that the media was biased against the actor and was not reporting correctly the court proceedings.
This had tarnished the image of Salman in the eyes of public, he alleged and urged the media be directed to report true and fair proceedings in the case.
On October 15, the court would hear Salman`s lawyer and prosecution on whether the trial should begin afresh or evidence adduced earlier by the Magistrate should be considered by the sessions court.
Daundkar`s lawyers Aditya Pratap and Abha Singh argued that their client wanted to intervene in this case in public interest to help the prosecution.
They said section 301(1) of CrPc allowed Daundkar to intervene in the matter to help the prosecution. The lawyers cited three Supreme Court judgements to support their arguments.
On the other hand, Salman`s lawyer argued that Daundkar was a third party and could not intervene in the case. He cited nine judgements to argue his case.
The prosecutor said he had no objection if Daundkar and his lawyers helped the prosecution. However, they had no right to examine the witnesses, he said.
The court, however, rejected Daundkar`s plea saying that he was not an aggrieved party and was not concerned with the case.
Hence, he had no right to intervene at this stage. But after the evidence is recorded, he may at the end of the trial urge the court to allow him intervene.
As regards Daundkar`s plea for perjury action against Salman and police, his lawyers said that the Magistrate`s court at Bandra was inquiring into the matter.
The lawyers argued that the inquiry should now be conducted by the sessions court because the hit-and-run case has been transferred from Magistrate`s court to sessions court after it was held that the charge of culpable homicide was made out against the actor.
The court rejected this plea also as the judge held that he was not empowered to decide this.

Anushka Sharma dismisses rumours of 'longest kiss' with Aamir Khan


Reports about the sizzling kiss shared by Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma in the upcoming movie ‘P.K.’ has been refuted by the actress.
According to a popular national daily, Anushka has countered the rumours doing rounds in the Tinsel Town about the supposedly longest ever kiss in Bollywood history.
The diva quipped that ‘P.K.’ has a lot more to offer in terms of a movie, but a ‘record breaking’ kiss is not one of them.
“Firstly I don’t think any of us actually sat and timed all the legendary kisses of world cinema. Plus people like Raj Kumar Hirani and Aamir Khan are far too credible and accomplished to indulge in such a publicity stunt for their film,” the star was quoted.
The movie which is being directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is his second venture with the perfectionist Aamir Khan. ‘Three Idiots’, his previous venture which also starred Sharman Joshi, Madhavan and Kareena Kapoor was a phenomenon breaking all Box Office records.
Anushka, in her 5 years of filmdom, has had a dream debut with Shah Rukh Khan and also worked with greats like Yash Chopra and Vishal Bharadwaj. Her films have all been appreciated by the critics, and her career seems to be blossoming. Her next two projects are with the illustrious Rajkumar Hirani and Anurag Kashyap.
Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma, with or without the kiss, are bound to sizzle on screen and the audience eagerly wait to watch the duo come together.

'Hamara Bajaj' to remain with Bajaj, rules HC; John Abraham loses out


Mumbai: In a blow to actor John Abraham, the Bombay High Court has restrained his production house from using `Hamara Bajaj`, a popular tagline associated with an auto firm, as the title of his next movie.
Bajaj Auto Ltd had approached the court against JA Entertainment Pvt Ltd after it learnt Abraham`s production house proposed to make a movie by the name `Hamara Bajaj`.
While ruling in favour of the Pune-based two-wheeler giant on September 21, Justice S J Kathawala granted a permanent injunction, restraining JA Entertainment from using `Hamara Bajaj` as title or anywhere in the movie.
The auto company used `Hamara Bajaj` in advertisements featuring its popular scooter brand `Chetak`. Production of the Chetak stopped in 2009, but the tagline has consistently featured in Bajaj`s corporate campaigns and is identified closely with it.
Abraham`s production firm had earlier clarified that `Hamara Bajaj` was only a working title of the film – starring Ayushmann Khurana and Yami Gautam - to be directed by Shoojit Sircar.

Playing Asaram Bapu means lot of work: Arjun Rampal


Mumbai: Director Prakash Jha has reportedly decided to make a film called ‘Satsang’, which is said to be inspired by spiritual guru Asaram Bapu.
It is being speculated that either Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal or Manoj Bajpayee will play the lead role.
When asked at an event here about the movie, Arjun said: "I got to know about this news today morning only through newspapers. I don`t know about it."
"I think, I will have to work a lot to play Asaram Bapu (Laughs)...mujhe bahut mehnat karni padegi Asaram Bapu banne ke liye," he added in a lighter vein.
Reportedly ‘Satsang’ will also throw light on the recent controversy surrounding Asaram who has been booked under various sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Indian Penal Code after a 16-year-old alleged that he raped her.

'Bigg Boss 7' diaries day 10: Tanishaa Mukerji, VJ Andy and Shilpa Agnihotri made to do 100 sit-ups!


It’s day 10 of Bigg Boss 7 and the people are breaking rules and playing politics already
The day starts with Bigg Boss announcing the second edition of the luxury budget task for the heaven-mates.
According to the announcement, heaven-mates will have to take over the task of counting the minutes and the Jahannum wasis will now get a chance to distract them.
Ratan and Elli complain
Armaan Kohli and Shilpa Agnihotri are the first ones to go to perform the task. On the other side, Pratyusha Banerjee and Gauhar Khan try their best to distract them by singing on the top of their voice. Elli Avram and Ratan Rajput having performed the task throughout the night appear to be weary and exhausted. In a random conversation, Elli tells Apurva Agnihotri and Gauhar about the kind of husband she wants in her life and what qualities she is looking for in a man.
While the heaven-mates are busy with the task, Ratan and Elli bring up the topic of the task results that were announced the other day. Elli and Ratan felt that it was unfair to term them the weakest players in the task and they also felt that Kamya Punjabi ‘s suggestion of choosing the best performer through a chit process is also not correct, further revolting against it.
100 situps for Gauhar, Shilpa and Tanishaa
Later in the day, when everybody is busy performing the task, the Warden makes an announcement warning Gauhar, Shilpa, Tanishaa Mukerji and VJ Andy to talk in Hindi and avoid the usage of English words. She also adds that there wont be any further warnings, it would lead to punishment directly. Even after the warning, the housemates fail to follow the rules and are subjected to a punishment by Bigg Boss. Shilpa, Tanishaa and Andy are found guilty and are asked to do 100 sit-ups.
Bigg Boss introduces a twist in the swap
Meanwhile – Gauhar , Kushal Tandon, Ratan and Pratyusha are trying their best to distract people on the other side. Even after several trials, the heaven-mates are not able to get the time right and lose points. Hell-mates rejoice every time the heaven-mates go wrong and are credited with a point . Later in the day, Bigg Boss asks Tanishaa to come to the confession room and asks her to unanimously decide two names from the heaven-side they want to save from the swap. After much discussion, they decide to save Anita and struggle with the second name. Armaan and Anita have an argument over this and Anita gets annoyed because of Armaan’s attitude.
After Tanishaa announces two names,Bigg Boss brings in a new twist to surprise everyone. He announces an activity that will take place between the two nominated contestants and the one who wins will be saved from the swap.
After lights go off, Sangram Singh is seen discussing about the hell-mates and how they are being cunning in their own space.
