Shammi and Shashi Kapoor In Critical Condition !

They are known as the First Family of Bollywood and rightly so. We are indeed talking about the Kapoor family. On one hand, while their ‘latest entrant’ Ranbir Kapoor is going great guns, the two of the elderly lot (A.K.A yesteryears heartthrobs) Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor are not in the best of their health.

It was only last month that Shammi Kapoor (who was suffering from acute kidney failure) developed high fever, while he was still in hospital, and was admitted in the ICU. On the other hand, Shahsi Kapoor too got admitted in a city hospital. Reportedly, the common factor of them both is that, both the actors have requested their families to discharge them from their respective hospitals, so that they can spend some more time with their families. Reports also have it that both the doyens have strictly expressed their desires that not to be taken abroad for treatment.

We wishes both the Kapoors a speedy recovery.

‘4th Idiot’ in the making

Not exactly a sequel to Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ but just an inspiration of the movie. ‘ The 4th Idiot’ is a movie of course but not a feature film but an animated film that will entertain the kids and the adults alike.

Produced by Biswaroop Roy Chowdhary, ‘The 4th Idiot’ is an inspiration of the ‘3 Idiots’ but is completely a new story with new star cast, but the only thing that will be part of the new movie from the old one is, the voice accent of  ‘Chatur Ramalingam’, the nerd who tries to speak ‘shudh’ Hindi.

Further divulging in to details, the makers of the film say that the main character of the movie is an intelligent boy named ‘Pappu’ who studies in a school that is similar to Amir Khan’s school in ‘3 Idiots’, where students are highly innovative. The voice over for ‘Pappu’ is by Omi Vaidya who acted as ‘Chatur Ramalingam’.

Interestingly the producers have decided to premiere the movie at World Unity Convention Centre, Lucknow. They added saying what is not known to most of them is that the World’s largest school ‘The City Montessori School’ is in Lucknow. Now that’s even better news!

Sex and nudity in 'Fired'

A bare-backed female figure, with a slight curvature of her breast exposed to camera, holds a severed head of Rahul Bose in the poster of the upcoming horror movie Fired.

 

The film, starring Bose and British model Militza Radmilovic is learnt to have too much blood and gore with an added seasoning of sex and nudity. Militza has reportedly gone nude for a few scenes in the film and there is also a steamy sex scene (you’ll see it on the following pages) between the two.

 

Expectedly, the film, set to release in January 2010, got stuck with the Censor Board seeing red over too much of blood and nudity in its promos for TV.

Rahul Bose does not deny that there’s nudity in the film, but he says he’s against any type of censorship.

 

“I’m in favour of self censorship,” he says. Meanwhile, the blood splattered posters of the film, with Militza’s amply exposed cleavage, are grabbing a lot of eyes nowadays.

 

Don’t miss more of them on the following pages.

Pop legend Michael Jackson no more

Los Angeles: Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died on Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50.

The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorised to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 pm, Capt Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

His 1982 album Thriller — which included the blockbuster hits Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller — remains the biggest-selling album of all time, with more than 26 million copies.

He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves, his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove and tight, military-style jacket were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance.

As years went by, he became an increasingly freakish figure. His skin became lighter and his nose narrower. He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while traveling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.

In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003. He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him. The case took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble.

Actor Nitin Injured

Young actor Nitin while shooting for his latest film Drona, accidentally got injured on his face. The accident happened while an action sequence is being picturized at Ramoji Film City. Nitin who got hit by a broken tube light on the face and was left bleeding and the crew hurried him to Apollo Hospital. Doctors who treated Nitin said that the injuries are minor and there is nothing to be worried about.

These days Nitin has been concentrating too hard to make a mark as an action hero. He developed six pack abs and taking risks to bring the real look to his stunts. As a part of that risk he is now hospitalized. Hope his hard work pays off at least this time.

Mr. Ambani needs to be alert before investing into the Hollywood?

The Love Guru that is to be released in America this weekend is filmed around Indian stereotypes and its people. If the history of Indian characters is seen through the Indian movies then in most of the cases, the characters are portrayed as figures of funs. But soon, the things may change for Bollywood fraternity and they would be the objects of reverence as a major Indian entertainment company is on the cards to finance a new film company with Steven Spielberg.

According to media news Mr Spielberg and his partner David Geffen are in talks to make a new Hollywood film production company with Reliance Big Entertainment, a media group headed by Indian billionaire industrialist, Anil Ambani. Both Spielberg and Mr Geffen are one of the founders of Dream Works, which is a part of media group Viacom, however, it is expected that very soon they will disassociate them from the group.

In case, every thing goes well then Reliance Big Entertainment would pump $500 million in Hollywood. Reliance’s this move happened one month after Reliance signed series of bold production contract with George Clooney and Brad Pitt at the Cannes film festival. But Mr A Ambani needs to learn from the earlier experiences of other international investors who tried to make big image after investing heavily in Hollywood before making invest into the market. One media executive expressed his opinion for investing in Hollywood, “Hollywood has a long, distinguished record of eating up foreigners and then spitting them out.”

This trend of foreign investment in the Hollywood started in 1980s from the Japanese electronic that in order to increase the sales of it is betaformat equipments invested $ 3.4 bn to buy Columbia Pictures and its sister company Tri-star. The renamed Sony Pictures Entertainment under Jon Peters and Peter Guber the renowned producer from the fresh success of hit movies - Batman and Rain Man- produced many flopped films and finally after 5 years Sony wrote off the acquisition with $ 3 bn in losses.

After Sony it was Matsushita who MCA Universal - later renamed Universal Studios but failed same like as Sony, then after it Jean-Marie Messier, the flamboyant former chief of Vivendi, the French utility, invested in Hollywood buying Seagram, but his dream ended in failure as had to quit from the company’s board of directors and company. Hopefully, Ambani may be fortunate enough than his earlier predecessors.
