Elton John
Famous music composer
and song writer Sir Elton John has been severely criticized for his remark that Lord Jesus was gay.

The 62 year old musician gave this remark on Jesus Christ in his new online interview on Parade.com as part of an article which will appear in the website’s sister weekend magazine. Now the “Rocket Man” hit maker is facing the wrath of fuming bloggers and ‘tweeters’.

According to the latest celebrity news, in his article, Elton John said, “I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.”

He added, “On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel.”

His remarks have led to a wave of criticism from everywhere specially from online critics.

One online user writes, “John is now the authority on Christ? Jesus Christ was as gay as Saddam Hussein is alive.”

A blogger rhardin tells Fox News’ 411 blog, “I will never listen to this man’s music again. How dare he speak of my Lord in such a disgraceful way. He should not speak on things he knows nothing about. I hope and pray that all Christians will take a stand on this one. Elton John’s lifestyle speaks for itself.”

Meanwhile, bobj72 tells TheDailyBeast.com, “While I have had some appreciation for Elton John’s music… he could not be further from the truth on this matter regarding Jesus. It is clearly stated in Leviticus 18:22, 23; that Christ sees homosexuality as an abomination.”

Everybody knows that Elton John is a supporter of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people but he should not make such a statement that hurts religious sentiments of people, just to strengthen his support to a separate section of people

Musician John Mayer is getting very frank about his past relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston. In a latest interview with Playboy, the rocker compared Jessica to a drug and said he still loves Jen.

The on and off boyfriend of Jessica, Mayer said, “That girl, for me, is a drug. And drugs aren’t good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me. Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say.”

John told Playboy about his relation with Jessica that “It was like napalm, sexual napalm.”

The 32 year old musician told the magazine that he felt addicted to the Jessica.

The rocker said, “There are people in the world who have the power to change our values. Have you ever been with a girl who made you want to quit the rest of your life?” he continued. “Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f****** snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f*** you, I would start selling all my shit just to keep f****** you.’”

Talking about his ex girlfriend Jennifer, Mayer said, “Yes, always. I’ll always be sorry that it didn’t last,” John said. “In some ways I wish I could be with her. But I can’t change the fact that I need to be 32.”

He told reporter, “I feel bad because people think ‘Heartbreak Warfare’ is about [Jen]. I want to go on record saying it’s not. That woman would never use heartbreak warfare. That woman was the most communicative, sweetest, kindest person. When people hear the record, I hope the songs make them think about their lives, not my life.”

He added, “We just have a regard for each other’s feelings that is pretty intense. It’s been a deep relationship, and it’s no longer taking place at all. Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?”

It has some religion, a bit of politics and it’s set in the backdrop of a world shaking event, but for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan his latest venture is not so much about Islam post-9/11 as it is entertainment.
“The film is mainly entertainment,” Shah Rukh said in a lengthy interview with IANS over the phone from New York on a trip last week to promote his new film, My Name Is Khan (MNIK), releasing in the US Feb 12.
“If some issue is taken back home, I always tell people if they can take back a little more than an empty pack of popcorn, that’s interesting…that’s an added advantage to an entertaining film.”
Shah Rukh, who plays a Muslim Indian with Asperger’s syndrome living in the US, finding his marriage to a Hindu single mother (played by Kajol) crumbling post-9/11, wouldn’t agree that it’s the Islam angle that is grabbing the most attention in the US.
“A film normally deals with lots of issues, comedy, or it’s a tragedy or a serious film or a dramatic love story like …Khan is meant to be,” he said. “If one starts talking or deciding on issues before a whole film is seen, it’s kinda not right to do, specially as a filmmaker.
“Normally, a film is more than the sum of its parts. It’s not like it’s a love story, it’s got a Karan Johar touch to social cinema, it has an angle of religion, it also has a part of politics, it has a world-shaking incident as a backdrop, it also has a lot of sweet songs. It combines all that.
“To me as a filmmaker, or part of a film, any aspect of the film can only be decided once one has seen the whole film. But there’s no denying that there is an aspect of religion in the film.”
Nor would Shah Rukh look at this and other recent Bollywood films about the fate of Indian Muslims in the US post-9/11 as an effort to redress any negative images people may have formed about Islam over the last nine years.
“Films normally are for entertainment. One doesn’t really make a conscious decision to make a statement with it. Within entertainment, if a statement gets made, it’s really nice for a filmmaker.
“You know, maybe 3 Idiots talks about education, but it’s an entertaining film. Similarly Chak De! India talks about patriotism, but it’s a sports film.
“You can have issues related in a film, but when filmmakers of commercial proportions like Karan, myself and Kajol and all get together, it’s not to highlight an issue because it’s too expensive as a commercial venture to make a film about an issue and not entertain.”
To Shah Rukh, “the most interesting part of the fact as an actor is that I’m playing a character who’s got Asperger’s. It’s also not in any which way to show it in a light which is not nice…but for an actor that’s a great thing to do, you know, to play a (person with a) disorder like this which very few people know about.”
“Hopefully, I’ll be able to convince people about it when they see (the film). I don’t think at least commercial filmmakers from India really make a big-time film which is localised or even localised by an international issue,” he said.
“Commercial we will only know once the film releases,” said Shah Rukh when asked if MNIK isn’t one of Karan Johar’s least commercial offerings so far.
“…Yes, the only thing it has amiss is big set dance pieces, but we just felt with the disorder we were dealing with, it would look very unrealistic for the character Rizwan Khan to indulge in dancing of the order of we normally see in a Hindi film of Karan’s, or you might have seen earlier.
“Except for that, I think the venture is extremely commercial,” he said.
“In the last five years, there’s a whole paradigm shift as to what people accept as a commercial film,” Shah Rukh said describing it as “Karan’s evolution from making and keeping up with the trends of new commercial cinema in India and elsewhere”.
On professional challenges he faced during its filming, Shah Rukh said it was a “very difficult” character to play. “If I was to just put it simply, it’s very seldom that I’ve really gone ahead and played a character which exists in real life.
“And whenever you’re dealing with a disorder or a near…atypical situation, the first thought is that the sort of parameters you have to set that in no which way you are derogatory or deriding the disorder.
“You have to make the protagonist very proud of what it is. The second part is you have to come as close to reality in depicting that characterisation and so one had to study a lot and one does get worried…”
But a couple of people affected with the same disorder who were shown the film had told them “…it’s a great portrayal, it’s very close to someone with this kind of disorder”.
“Of course, having said that, I have taken a few cinematic liberties with it, because I’ve used three or four traits which may not exist simultaneously in one person and tried to create one character who has Asperger’s, called Rizwan Khan.”

Preity Zinta


Actress turned businesswoman Preity Zinta has moved ahead in her life after breakup with her boyfriend Ness Wadia. But now the only thing that bothers her, are the link-ups with co-stars and friends. Due to which none of her male friends wants to go out with her, she says.

Talking to the reporters Preity said, “I’m surrounded by celebrities who are constantly discussing their personal lives. I’m the same Preity Zinta I used to be. You won’t find me discussing my private life in detail. I’m in a very good space right now.”

Showing her dimples the actress added, “The only problem is any man whom I’m seen with in public is automatically linked with me. I’ve come to a place where none of my male friends wants to go out with me any more! I think I’ll just have to pick my date for the next public event through a contest!”

The co-owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab, Preity is now linked up with her own team cricketers.

Expressing her feeling on the linkups with own Cricket team’s members, she said, “Can you imagine, members of my own team! I’ve always maintained I’d never mix business and pleasure. Now that I’m getting fully into business, I’m narrowing my chances of finding a man. I know I’d never get into criminal activities, so maybe…”

Talking about her relation with ex-boyfriend Ness Wadia, Preity said, “The media has been trying to find awkwardness in our equation. Why should that be? We’re still good friends. We’re no longer seeing each other. We’re colleagues now.

“If ever I’m in a situation, I’m sure he’d watch my back, as I’d watch his. But would people let go of this fascination with the equation between me and Ness? It’s been one year since we broke up.”

Preity, who is spending most of her time outside Mumbai, said, “Whenever I’m not shooting I’m out of the country. Don’t get me wrong. I love Mumbai to death. But tell me what can an actor do in the city if she isn’t working? I can’t go out partying. I can’t even take a jog. What do I do on a Sunday? I can’t even go out.

She also said, “Now (after the Ness episode) it’s become worse. I can’t go out with any guy. If I do I’ve to beg some women to come along, otherwise the guy and I get linked up. I can’t handle it any more.”

Well last year was not good for Preity from personal and professional front as she broke up with long time boyfriend and her IPL team Kings XI Punjab did nothing good. So, we can just pray that 2010 will bring happiness in her life.

Leslie Kenton
Famous beauty expert Leslie Kenton has revealed in her new memoir “Love Affair” that she was raped by her own father when she was 11 and that the secret incest lasted until she was 13.

According to website reports, four years ago, Kenton first contemplated writing about her childhood and “Love Affair” in which she gave full account of the horrors and the secret incest relation.

Leslie told reporters, “My friend Gail Rebuck, who was my first editor and is now the chairman of Random House, told me, ‘You need to write a memoir.’ I said, ‘Gail, I can’t. No one would believe it, and the tabloids would go wild.’ And Gail said, ‘Who cares? This book will be the bridge between what you have done before and the work you will do afterwards.’”

The beauty guru is considered as the priestess of the real beauty movement for decades. She advocated high-raw, high-vegetable diets and detoxifying, way back in the 70’s. She had created the Origins range and imported the skincare tablet Imedeen to Britain. Leslie has made her brilliant present from a murkier past.

Talking about the book, Kenton said: “It ripped me to shreds”.

In the book she has wrote about the summer of 1952, when she met her father Stanley on his dance tour, sharing his hotel room, sleeping back to back. He was heavy drinker and Kenton who was just 10 was trying to control her dad. He was, in many ways, treating her as a substitute for his wife Violet. One night the final boundary was crossed and he raped his daughter. It was the beginning of an incestuous relationship that lasted until she was 13.

Throwing light on their relation Kenton said, “I believe he tried his best to resist touching me. Then, drowning in a sea of alcohol, he would come to my bed, only to deny the next morning that he’d been there. This was not cynical. Stanley had become so skilled in keeping secrets he could hide his guiltiest one even from himself.”

Kenton who did not blame her father for incestuous relationship said, “He was born into guilt. As a child, he was taught by his mother, ‘There’s something wrong with you, Stanley.’ From talking to relatives, Leslie has learnt of a highly dysfunctional family with a history of manipulation, neglect and bizarre cult-like rituals.”

“I do not know how to express the damage that a family like this does. This is a disease that’s passed on. Some people survive it and others are deeply damaged.”

According to Kenton she thinks that her father experienced a condition known as dissociative identity disorder, involving selective amnesia, which she also developed as she blocked out the incest.

While working on the book, Kenton retreated to her rambling house perched atop an extinct volcano on New Zealand’s South Island.

Kenton dedicated her book “Love Affair” to her father. In the tribute she has written, “For Stanley, with all my love”.

AR Rahman Receiving the Grammy Award


Famous Bollywood music composer A.R Rahman has won two Grammy Awards for his song ‘Jai Ho’ of the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. First Oscar and now Grammy Awards, Rahman has told the world that Bollywood is no less than Hollywood.

The 44 year old Indian composer won the awards at the dazzling 52nd Annual Grammy awards ceremony in Los Angeles. He won two Grammy in the Best Compilation Soundtrack for a motion picture and the Best Motion Picture Song categories. Excited but humble, Rahman said, “This is insane, god is great again”.

This was the special moment for Rahman, as he was nominated first time in Grammy Awards and won 2 awards together. Though, Grammy Awards are familiar with many legendry Indian classical musicians like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Zakir Jussain, Vikku Vinayak and Vishvamohan Bhatt who had already won the Grammy in the past. But this was the first time when any Bollywood musician won the prestigious Grammy Awards.

Rahman’s song ‘Jai Ho’, sung by Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Vijay Prakash and Rahman, became an international hit last year. Steve Jordan for ‘Cadillac Records,’ Quentin Tarantino for ‘Inglourious Basterds’ gave tough competition to Rahman in best soundtrack category.

In the best song category Rahman faced competition from international Crooner Bruce Springsteen for his song ‘The Wrestler’. But outshining all the competitors, Rahman walked away with both the Grammy Awards.

Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone

Imagine what will happen when Ranbir’s ‘best friend’ Katrina Kaif accidentally bumps into his ex Deepika Padukone. Recently at a shoot, both these girls exchanged cold stares even before Katrina walked out. Both of them were not in the mood of acknowledging each other. Apparently, Ranbir Kapoor became close friends with Katrina Kaif when he was dating Deepika.

On Wednesday, Dips was busy with a magazine photo shoot in the Mehboob Studio open area. An eyewitness who was watching all this says, “Deepika had come with Farhan Akhtar for her photo shoot. Somewhere around late afternoon, Deepika was giving her solo shots in the garden area of the studio. While Deepika was doing her last minute touch-up, there was pin drop silence and all eyes swiveled to the entrance. It was Katrina Kaif, who had accidentally walked in, thinking it was the venue where she was called for the shoot. She was dressed in a short white skirt and a pink tee, Katrnia walked in and froze for a second. Deepika, who was standing some distance away, saw her. Both had a few seconds of eye contact, and Katrina immediately took a U-turn and walked away.”

It was not surprising at all considering their history. A close source revealed, “Although Ranbir and Deepika are not seeing each other anymore, the latter still has issues with Katrina. It was the growing friendship between Katrina and Ranbir which marked an end to her relationship.” When asked Katrina and Deepika about this incident they were both unavailable for the comment.

Paathshaala Movie Poster
Paathshaala Exclusive Photo Gallery
Synopsis of  “Paathshaala” Movie:


Teaching is a noble profession.

But does it hold true today? Hasn’t education succumbed to modernization as everything else, which is ruled by commercialization and consumerism in this age of rat-race? We read in the newspapers about students being bogged down under study pressures, parents burdened with fees hikes, teachers punishing students inhumanly, some students even dying in such cases or some committing suicides… what state of affairs have we brought our education system to?

Paathshala tries to answer many such questions related to the sanctity of today’s education system. It sheds light on the shortcomings and wrong doings in today’s schools where the high morals and basic ethics associated with the teaching profession seem to have taken a back seat. It’s shameful that even schooling has fallen prey to the pressures of competition and the vices of money-making mantra. Paathshala attempts to challenge such notions that threaten our children’s future and thus our society.

The story begins with a new English Teacher Rahul Prakash Udyavar( Shahid Kapoor) joining Swaraswati Vidya Mandir school, situated in the outskirts of Mumbai Suburbs. Though he strikes instant rapport with students and teachers alike, he realizes that there is something amiss in the school. Slowly his doubts prove true as the School Manager- Sharma (Saurbh Shukla) makes many monetary obligations compulsory on the parents in the name of extracurricular activities. He goes to the extent of punishing the students inhumanly when the new unjustified demands of the school are not fulfilled by the parents.

When Rahul Udyawar unifies the teachers (Ayesha Takia, Sushant Singh, Kurush Deboo) against the atrocities of school management, the Principal Aditya Sahay (Nana Patekar) defends the management decision. This comes as a shocker to the teachers as Mr. Sahay is known for his dedication as an educationist for last 32 years which has built the school’s high reputation.

The situation becomes graver as school management becomes overambitious with its growth and involves media planners in the extracurricular activities. This demands the involvement of students in TV reality shows and many other media PR activities used for building up the school image in public which starts reflecting on the students’ stress levels. The pressure on young minds increases incredibly leading to unexpected and grim consequences.

Caught in the web of commercialization and internal rebellion, the school’s situation becomes so explosive that it finally becomes a national issue.

Paathshala challenges the increasing immoralities and unethical practices in our education system. It analyses intricately the relationship between students, teachers and the education system with sensitivity and sensibility… It reflects the true spirit of an education system.

Kolkata Knight Riders have exhausted their quota of foreign cricketers but they would have loved to have Pakistani players in their ranks, co-owner of the IPL franchisee Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan said today.
“We did have a number of them in the first IPL and in the second, no Pakistani player was allowed to play. This year, we don’t have any more slot left. But if we had and they are made available legally, we would have loved to have them,” the actor said.
“We had one slot this year and we took Shane Bond, because we needed a fast bowler. We would have loved to have any player from any country which would boost our team,” Shah Rukh said.
Lamenting the snub that the Pakistani player received in the January 19 auction, Shah Rukh Khan said they should have been welcomed.
“If there was any issue, that could have been solved in a fairly, nice manner. I believe my country stands for democracy and goodness and we should invite everyone.
“I never involve myself in politics — in films or in sports. We are a wonderful democratic, happy an secular country and that’’s how it should be,” he said.

Rann Film Review





Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Manisha Koirala, Rajat Kapoor, Gul Panag, Raima Sen

Director: Ram Gopal Varma

Producer: Madhu Mantena, Sheetal Vinod Talwar

Rating: 3.5/5

After giving many flop films, Ramgopal Varma seems to be bouncing back with his new release Rann’. Rann is a serious movie which exposes media, industrialists and politician’s connections. It also discloses media giants’ game that how they sensationalize simple news for popularity and ratings.

Written by Rohit Banawlikar ‘Rann’ is a social drama which is woven around the founder of a private news channel 24/7, Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) who is a hardcore upholder of journalistic ethics. Vijay’s struggling channel is looked after by his son Jay Malik (Sudeep). Jay considers her father’s news channel purely as a business enterprise that must make profits to survive.

Vijay’s rival Amrish Kakkar (Mohnish Bahl) who was once his employee is gaining profits by making the news sensational.

The twist in the story comes when corrupt politician, Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal), a Prime Minister position aspirant, decides to use the channel 24/7 for his own advantage by using Vijay’s son-in-law Navin (Rajat Kapoor).

Navin who wants to be No 1 industrialist persuades Jay to make a deal with Pandey. The climax of the film is filled with great dialogues and powerful performance from Big B.

Performances of all the actors are good. Amitabh Bachchan has done full justice with his character and his dialogue delivery is quite impressive. Another actor who made his mark is Sudeep. Ritesh Deshmukh is nice in his role. But his part as investigator looks a bit confusing in the film.

Paresh Rawal, who enters in Ramu’s camp after a long gap, has delivered tremendous performance in a negative role. Rajat Kapoor is flawless. Mohnish Bahl too has given a wonderful performance.

Other actors like Neetu Chandra, Gul Panag, Nina Kulkarni, Simone Singh and Suchitra Krishnamoorthy are average. Rajpal Yadav has done a good job of adding some funny touch to a serious movie.

The strength of the film is its strong story and powerful performance. Solid dialogues are one more plus point of the film. The cinematography of Amit Roy is quite noticeable. Direction of RGV is amazing as usual. Background score of the film is impressive and music is good.

The movie gets heavy at some points which can causes boredom. There is no masala in the film so people who like light-hearted and fun-filled cinema might not appreciate the film much.

Ishqiya


‘Ishqiya’ has created buzz due to its intense scenes and foul language. But surprisingly, the film got ‘A’ certificate from Indian film sensor board without any cuts!
Director of the film Abhishek Choubey told reporters, “Frankly, I expected I’d be asked for some kind of an explanation for the language and content and why they were necessary. I had gone prepared with dossiers on every graphic word and shot. To my surprise I wasn’t asked for any explanation. I was given an ‘Adults’ certificate with no cuts at all. I guess it’s a sign of how far censorship has come in our country.”
Though censor board apparently had some problems related to the language and some scenes but finally saw the reasons. And later on they passed the film.
Director Abhishek explained, “I never claimed the film was for children. The content is adult. So I’ve no problem with the ‘A’ certificate. I feel the profile of the audience is changing swiftly.”
Abhishek also added that the language is not as strong as people think. “It’s not about creating shock value. It’s the way these people in the small North Indian towns live their life.”
Produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj, ‘Ishqiya’ has stars like Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan in the lead roles.

Anil Kapoor

Renowned Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has got enthusiastic reviews from the American media for his act in the drama series ‘24’. Anil wants to show his act to his family back home but the shy actor couldn’t express his whish to the producers of the show.

The 50 year old actor had promised his family in Mumbai that he would bring back four episodes of ‘24’ which premiered in New York. But he couldn’t fulfill his promise.

Anil said, “I had promised them. And I’m sure Fox would’ve given the episodes to me. In fact, they gave the first four episodes to every journalist beforehand with a secrecy clause. So I could’ve easily asked because my daughters Sonam and Rhea and my brother Sanjay were all keen to see my television debut. But I just couldn’t ask. I was too shy. Can you believe it?”

Now the only way Sonam and his family can see Anil’s debut on ‘24’ is if they download the episodes from the internet.

Anil told reporters, “I believe the episodes can be downloaded. Also ‘24’ is telecast on our channel AXN. But a few months late. I think episodes featuring me would be telecast much sooner.”

The actor, in fact, is making efforts to bring the series to Indian viewers simultaneously with the rest of the world.

Talking about his television debut in America, Anil said, “It was overwhelming. I had made sure that the Indian media was also invited on the red carpet. The impact of my appearance on ‘24’ is yet to be gauged. But I guess the show will add Asian eyeballs to the already-popular series.”

He also said, “See, you’ve to understand television in the US is not the same thing as television in India. There’re big stars on American television who actually refuse to do movies.”

Adding one more feather in his cap, the fine actor was also invited on the prestigious “Today Show”, he said, “You see, ‘24’ is a series by Fox. And the ‘Today Show’ is on a rival channel NBC. No actor from a Fox show is ever invited on the ‘Today Show’. I guess I was an exception because after ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ I’m seen to represent the Indian diaspora in the West. It’s a humbling place to be in.”

The American media is totally impressed by the Indian actor, the Los Angeles Times wrote about his role, “The most promising this season is Omar Hassan (Anil Kapoor), president of the Islamic Republic of Kamistan, who is negotiating a peace treaty with US president Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones). He’s regal and decent,” wrote the Los Angeles Times.

And other Entertainment Weekly said, “The dapper Hassan …played by the wonderful Anil Kapoor, who really should go by the name of Fantastic Sam because of his incredible head of hair…”

The veteran actor is not only busy with international projects but he has many projects back home as well. So, you can say that Anil is currently at the peak of his career.
