Imran Khan upset as Aamir plays down his success!

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 06:31:07 +0000

Mumbai: ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ may be doing good business at the Box Office, but the film has caused a rift between Imran and his mamu Aamir, it seems. According to the latest buzz, Imran is really upset about the fact that Aamir did not like his latest flick, also starring Sonam Kapoor.

Reports reveal that Aamir, on hearing that the movie was doing reasonably well at the Box Office, told Imran, “Imran, you`re lucky!” And that’s perhaps what irked nephew Imran even more as he didn’t take the remark in good fortitude.

Imran retorted, “It’s not luck, maamu. We all have worked very hard on the movie.”

However, the young heartthrob still maintains that such a response from Aamir was pretty much expected. “Criticism runs in our blood. So a postmortem of every movie we do is a must. I’m sure if maamu has seen the whole film, he’ll have a few more things to tell me – all negative! But that’s just maamu for you,” said the actor

Aladin’s team will repaint the damaged portions of the walls where their posters had been put up

The protest against Aladin posters being put up on the graffiti wall painted for the Wall Project, on Senapati Bapat Marg, has now led Aladin’s team to rectify their mistake. The posters were pulled off, but the wall had already been damaged.

So, director Sujoy Gosh, music directors Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani and the lead pair Ritesh Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez have decided to repaint the wall where the movie posters were put up. The team will paint the wall today.

The posters were immediately removed when the complaint from concerned citizens reached the producers. Director Sujoy Ghosh commented on the incident, “We don’t know who put up the posters on these walls.

I completely agree that it was wrong. It is unfortunate that our film posters were put up there. We thought that we should make up for the damage. Then one of the guys in the team suggested that we should repaint the walls and Vishal agreed as well.”

Sujoy also apologised for the mistake, “We are sorry for the inconvenience. If I had it my way, this would never have happened.”

Bipasha Basu gets cornered

Being beautiful may not always work in your favour. This ringed true for Bipasha while she was shooting for her film LAMHAA in Kashmir.

It so happened that during her shoot in Kashmir the security around her was so tight that she was completely surrounded by the men in uniform. With the beauty surrounded by the men, the situation became a bit intimidating for the actress and her discomfiture was quite vivid in her expression.

Sensing the predicament of his actress, the producer of the film Bunty Walia came to Bips rescue and ordered the security to leave her alone.

Speaking about the incident, Walia says, “Actually, it was after a long time that a full fledged shooting of such a large scale was happening in Kashmir. So, the crowds used to gather whenever we went out to shoot. Consequently our security was also beefed up to deal with the swelling crowds that used to throng the sets. On this particular day, when Bipasha was surrounded by security men, I could sense her discomfort at this heightened security blanket around her and had to intervene. Finally, the actress breathed a sigh of relief when the security around her was relaxed.”

LAMHAA is one of the few films that has been shot in Kashmir over the years and is slated to release early next year.

Miley Cyrus had a special guest in the audience at her concert at the Staples Center Tuesday night – her Last Song costar and real-life boyfriend, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth!

That’s right: BOYFRIEND! A source confirmed that the two have been dating now for almost five months and Tuesday night was their debut as a serious couple. They had no problem showing off their PDA at Miley’s super after-show bash at Katsuya, where people say they were very “lovey-dovey.”

Two noticeably absent friends of tween super star were her bestieMandy Jiroux and ex-bf Justin Gaston. Mandy had a concert of her own to play with her band The Beach Girl5 and Justin decided to sulk out there instead of going to Miley’s gig.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to see our ex smooching with someone twice as handsome and five times more successful than us either. That’s a heartbreaker!

We smell a movie in the future!

Did U buy Dan Brown’s latest?

Support the Fair Market Value Bill!

admin — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:51:24 +0000

Over the past few years a number of TV show creators have brought suit against major studios in cases where the studios have sold TV series to companies owned by the studios themselves. The reason for the suits is simple – because of self-dealing, these shows have been sold for far less money than they could have brought in had they been offered for sale on the open market.

We WGA members who wrote for the series M*A*S*H (let’s call it MASH) are all too familiar with this practice. Many years ago the program, one of the most successful in the history of television, was sold by Fox TV to FX, a cable channel owned by Fox. Since writers receive cable residuals based on the re-use sales price, the MASH writers clearly paid a steep price for Fox’s self dealing when the studio sold the show to FX.

Now something might actually be done to prevent such sales in the future. California Senate Bill 1765, introduced by SAG member Senator Sheila Kuehl, would prohibit these self-dealing sales.

Please support Senate Bill 1765, the Fair Market Value Bill. And here’s one way you can do that -click here to automatically send emails to the authors of the bill thanking them for their support and for standing up for writers and other workers in the entertainment industry.

Thanks for helping the Teamsters and the WGA support this important legislation.
