Lohan released from house arrest after 35 days



Lindsay Lohan was freed from house arrest Wednesday morning, ending a drama filled 35 days and opening the next chapter in the troubled starlet's efforts to put her court troubles behind her. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Lohan's electronic monitoring equipment was removed shortly before 10am and she was removed from the jail system around 10:20am. Lohan is not entirely free. She still has to complete 480 hours of community service, complete an anti shoplifting class and comply with other terms of her release.

Morgue :- Her spokesman, Steve Honig, said Lohan is very focused on resuming her community service, which is being performed at a downtown Los Angeles women's shelter and will also require her to work at the county's morgue. Lohan, 24, was sentenced to four months in jail in May for violating her probation in a 2007 drunken driving case by taking a necklace from a jewelry store without permission earlier this year. She pleaded no contest to the theft and received no additional penalties, but will remain on probation for several more months. Lohan's shorter confinement was the result of jail overcrowding in Los Angeles' only women's jail and mandatory credits, but it was not without drama.

Out of the area:- Just days into her captivity, authorities were summoned to Lohan's home in the beachside community of Venice because her monitoring equipment reported her out of the area. The equipment had to be replaced because of a faulty battery in the actress' ankle monitor, and after officials learned that a houseguest had spilled a drink another piece of monitoring equipment. Lohan was summoned to court last week after probation officials told a judge the actress had tested positive for alcohol. Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner determined after reviewing Lohan's case file that the actress was no longer required to undergo random drug tests and that she had not been ordered by a previous judge to abstain from alcohol. Sautner did order the actress to stop hosting parties while serving house, telling her at one point, Don't give people a reason to hate you. Lohan has struggled to put a pair of 2007 drunken driving and drug arrests behind her. She was jailed twice and sent to rehab twice last year for failing to comply with the terms of her probation.

Theft:- She was accused of the necklace theft roughly three weeks after her release from rehab. She has said she wants to resume acting and remains a cast member of a biopic of the infamous New York Gotti crime family titled, Gotti In The Shadow of My Father. Shooting on the film is expected to begin later this year.

Princess Diana Newsweek Cover Sparks Controversy


Diana, Princess of Wales was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Their sons, Princes William and Henry (Harry), are second and third in line to the thrones of the United Kingdom and fifteen other Commonwealth Realms. A public figure from the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles. See Related Photos Princess Diana would have been 50 this July 1 if she hadn't been killed in that car accident in Paris in 1997. Princess Diana appears on the cover of Newsweek, digitally aged and Photoshopped next to her would be daughter in law Kate Middleton, which has caused some controversy. The deceased princess would have celebrated her 50th birthday on Friday and the magazine's "Diana at 50" cover story imagines what the princess would be like, if she hadn't died in a tragic car accident in 1997.

The article's introductory paragraph sums up the story, Diana at 50 Chilling with the Middletons. Tweeting from Davos. And still the people's princess. If not for that tragic night, what her life might look like now. In the article, Brown wrote that Diana probably would have moved to New York, gotten Botox and would be writing about her daily life to some 10 million Twitter . The cover of this week's issue boasts a computer generated image of an imagined 50 year old Diana superimposed into another photo to make it look as though she's strolling along with the daughter in law she never knew, Kate Middleton. The image is being called tacky,cheap, and creepy by outraged readers, Twitter followers and members of the press.


Brown has long been a provocateur, and she made a statement yesterday about the controversial cover and article, We wanted to bring the memory of Diana alive in a vivid image that transcends time and reflects my piece. While that is all well and good, the overwhelming response has been negative. This is completely offensive and inappropriate, one commenter wrote on the Newsweek website, expressing a common attitude toward the image And Twitter users have been even less kind. The Twitterverse exploded at the launch of the Newsweek cover, with angry posts pouring in from around the globe. Hashtags like proliferated, and one Twitter user commented, Vomit rises in the throat.


Tina Brown is no stranger to controversy, and her article was written from the perspective of one who had studied Diana, and knew her well. But the digitally altered image of Diana, mixed with the speculative tone of what Diana would have been doing had she not tragically died, does not sit well at all with readers. While it may be interesting to travel down the ,what if, path, the fact of the matter remains: Diana died in 1997 in a horrific car crash, during the prime of her life. Her two sons were robbed of their mother. And her death was a wrenching moment for the British and the world as a whole.

Diana was, of course, a celebrity, but many of the comments from readers show an empathy and compassion for Diana's family members who still miss her. One reader weighed in on Newsweek's website: "Ugh this is SO tasteless let the poor woman RIP if I were any of her family members i'd be so offended and upset by this. It is quite interesting that while the cover has stirred up such passionate feelings, most people are less appalled to read about what Diana might be like at 50. So what does Brown say about a 50 year old Diana? For starters, she would have been married a couple more times, settled down in her favorite city New York, and would have a Facebook page and 10 million Twitter followers. There is no doubt she would have kept her chin taut with strategic Botox shots and her bare arms buff from the gym,Brown writes. And, Brown believes, Diana also would have found peace with Prince Charles: "I believe her best male friend in later years would have been, poignantly, her reviled first husband.

And how would Diana have dealt with the publicity surrounding her son's marriage? Brown thinks it would have gone like this Diana, rejoicing in her flawless Spencer pedigree, would have positioned herself as a firm defender of the Middletons against the palace snobs and ostentatiously made Carole Middleton, Kate's dynamic mother, her new BFF."

Actress Michelle Yeoh blacklisted, deported from Myanmar


Authorities in Myanmar have deported Hollywood actress Michelle Yeoh who plans to play pro democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in an upcoming film, an immigration official said on Tuesday.

Yeoh, a Malaysian known for playing Chinese spy Wai Lin alongside Pierce Brosnan in the 1997 James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" among other high profile roles, was detained on arrival at Yangon's international airport on June 22 and sent out of the country on the next flight.

"She was deported on the same day because she is on a blacklist," the official told Reuters, requesting anonymity because she was not authorised to talk to the media.

Yeoh, 48, has been in Thailand, Britain and France filming scenes for the film "The Lady", as Suu Kyi is known in Myanmar. The film is due to be released in October.

Suu Kyi, a Nobel laureate and figurehead of Myanmar's fight against military dictatorship, met Yeoh to discuss the film at her lakeside home in Yangon last December, three weeks after her release from a seven year stint of house arrest.

"The Lady" is a love story about Suu Kyi and her late British husband Michael Aris, and details their long separation while Suu Kyi was detained in 1989.

Aris was denied visas to visit Suu Kyi and was diagnosed with cancer in 1997. She refused to leave Myanmar to visit him, fearing the ruling junta would block her return. Aris died in 1999.

A dancer and actress known for performing her own stunts in action movies, Yeoh was nominated for a BAFTA award for best actress for her role in Ang Lee's 2000 box office hit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which won four Oscars.

Tom Hanks takes on recession in Larry Crowne


Thomas Jeffrey "Tom" Hanks Born in California, Tom Hanks grew up in what he calls a "fractured" family. His parents were pioneers in the development of marriage dissolution law in that state, and Tom moved around a lot, living with a succession of step families. No problems, no abuse, no alcoholism just a confused childhood. He had no acting experience in college and, in fact, credits the fact that he couldn't get cast in a college play with actually starting his career. He went downtown, auditioned for a community theater play, was invited by the director of that play to go to Cleveland, and there his acting career started. He met his second wife, actress Rita Wilson on the set of his television show Bosom Buddies. Tom Hanks is an American actor, producer, writer, and director. Hanks worked in television and family friendly comedies, gaining wide notice in 1988's Big, before achieving success as a dramatic actor in several notable roles, including Andrew Beckett in Philadelphia, the title role in Forrest Gump, Commander James A. Lovell in Apollo 13, Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan, Joe Fox in You've Got Mail, Chuck Noland in Cast Away, and voicing the character Woody in the Toy Story series.


 Tom Hanks has always enjoyed a challenge. After all, his break out role came playing a woman in TV's Bosom Buddies. He co starred with a volleyball in Cast Away and played a gay man with AIDS in Philadelphia at a time (1993) when playing gay in Hollywood was thought to be a career killer. So, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the Hollywood star is bringing out his newest movie, Larry Crowne about a man who loses his job due to the recession, at a time when so many people are out of work. To heighten the risk, Hanks not only stars in the movie, he directed it and co wrote the screenplay with "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" writer Nia Vardalos. Making "Larry Crowne" a box office hit will be a challenge to say the least, especially during the summer when movie theaters are filled with big budget, effects filled films like Transformers: Dark of the Moon. But Hanks feels that he and his movie, which co stars Julia Roberts, are up to the challenge, and he thinks "Larry Crowne" has one key secret for its potential success. It's not about loss, so much as about hope for the future. He said that he was competing in a marketplace in which the thing he might have going for them is the true battle against cynicism. Hanks plays the title character who is fired from a Walmart like store where he's worked for decades. Divorced, with a mortgage and a gas guzzling SUV, he enrolls in college to start over, taking classes taught by a teacher,Julia Roberts with her own problems. He sells his house, rides a scooter to save money and works at a diner to make ends meet. Yet rather than being depressed about things, he's got this amazing new forceful presence in his life and he can honestly say.
But to people in the real world struggling with unemployment, a film like "Larry Crowne" may not be the type of escapism they want to see even with its lighter tones and characters played by comedian Cedric the Entertainer and former "That 70s Show" sitcom star Wilmer Valderrama. Last year, writer/director John Wells released a feature film he wrote and directed, "The Company Men," about how three men deal with joblessness, how it affects their families and their status in the community. "Company Men" starred Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner and had an estimated, low budget of $15 million. Still, it grossed only $4.4 million in U.S. ticket sales hardly a hit. To be fair, it was a rather dark drama. Vardalos said that despite the subject matter, "Larry Crowne" is not a "downer" movie. She told that This was an uplifting movie and it's not out of the realm of the ordinary and also said It's what can happen if you keep your heart open. And Hanks is quick to point out that very often when people step out of one life situation and into another, they find the change can be very life affirming. Hanks said that That actually  happened in the real world and it's also a glamorous. There can be little argument that when Hanks spies a challenge, he responds pretty well himself. After all, that gay role in "Philadelphia" the one that could've been a career killer earned him an Oscar. And it wasn't his last.

Kate Middleton related to author Jane Austen


Prince William's bride Kate Middleton is a distant relative of novelist Jane Austen, according to genealogy website Ancestry.com. Ancestry.com said that the new Duchess of Cambridge and the author of "Pride and Prejudice" are 11th cousins, six times removed due to their 15th century common ancestor Henry Percy, who was the 2nd Earl of Northumberland. The family history research group said the connection was fitting given Austen's many female characters who fall in love with, or aspire to marry, men of higher rank. Middleton, 29, a commoner with no aristocratic background, married Prince William second in line to the throne in April after a nine year romance. She is now formally known as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

"Finding this connection between the Duchess of Cambridge and Jane Austen is very exciting since, in many ways, Catherine is the modern Jane Austen heroine: a middle class girl marrying the future King of England," said Anastasia Harman, lead family historian for Ancestry.com. "Jane Austen may have written about happily ever after but it seems Catherine has found a nonfiction hero to spend her life with far past the epilogue," Harman added. Born in England in 1775, Jane Austen is one of the best known novelists and social satirists in the world with works like "Sense and Sensibility", "Emma" and "Persuasion." She never married.

Hema, who is looking forward to her upcoming film 'Buddha Hoga Tera Baap', will be seen alongside megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
 
The actress said the dream girl tag was given by people and the media. They just started calling me a dream girl. That's how it happened. But every girl today is a dream girl acting itself is about dreams. Dharmendra, her husband, also seemed to be mighty pleased when asked about his continuing He Man image in the Indian entertainment industry. Every boy today in a He Man. They are conscious of their health. So they all are he men. You people gave me this tag and I am very thankful for this. It continues because of your support and well wishes, the Sholay actor said.

Emma Stone looks sexy and flawless in a red and white striped bikini and looks like a total bombshell on the July cover of Vanity Fair but don't get used to it. She usually wear a one piece. she was nervous for the cover shoot. In a playful mood, the up and coming star jokes that her only vices are sugar, wine, and black tar heroin! That's pretty much it, the heroin, the sugar, and the wine nothing too crazy.She also gives a really funny interview where she speaks about how she functions in day to day life. “I think I’m a Type A personality who’s trying to convince herself she’s Type B”, she revealed. Emma, you’re on the cover of Vanity Fair. That’s Type “Star”.

Dubbed in French, the trailer, which seems to have been filmed from a screening room, shows lead actor Tom Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa, running from a burning building which looks to be the DIFC and jumping off a speeding car in Satwa. TheFilmStage website says the trailer was planned to be shown for the first time in front of US audiences at screenings of Transformers Dark of the Moon. The storyline appears to begin with the Kremlin being blown up, and Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt being briefed on a mission obviously not disclosed in the trailer by British actor Tom Wilkinson, whose involvement in the film until now had not been revealed. The usual deadpan comedy lines are thrown in for good measure. In one scene Cruise is handed a gadget by Simon Pegg, who explains they are testing a glove that can help Cruise climb buildings. It has different colours on the fingertips.
Burj Khalifa 
Mission Impossible newbie Jeremy Renner’s line concludes the 2min 21second trailer. “You’re not gonna make it,” to which Tom replies “You’re not helping,” before he launches from the side of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The team filmed at Dubai Creek, the Burj Khalifa, DIFC, Emirates Towers, in the streets of Satwa and on a mock up of the Burj Khalifa at the International Media Production Zone.

Dust storm 
In Satwa men in goggles, ski masks, bandanas and neck scarves attempted to keep sand from their eyes as giant fans whipped up a dust storm for Cruise to shoot a scene from the roof of a BMW. This scene appears in the trailer as the car flies up into the air and comes crashing down just narrowly missing his head. While in town, Cruise also paid non working visits to Dubai’s indoor ski slope, Ski Dubai, and was hosted by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who showed the Hollywood actor how to hold a falcon. Filming at Dubai International Financial Centre had the entire business district closed for two days while explosion scenes were shot. Cruise was captured in action racing through the main ‘Gate’ building of the complex as the debris closely followed by a lucky few fans. But Cruise drew the biggest crowds when he hung from the Burj Khalifa. Lucky visitors to the viewing gallery of the world’s tallest tower took snaps and video as the actor, famous for doing his own stunts, ran suspended around the circumference of the building, which reaches over 800 metres into the sky. The film is scheduled for release in December and is expected to feature at the Dubai International Film Festival that month.

Bollywood embraces both these passions at the IIFA Rocks event


The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) is dedicated to reaching out to millions of fans around the world to promote Indian cinema. Under the guidance of Wizcraft International Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., IIFA tirelessly showcases the wealth of talent Indian Cinema has to offer, to the world. The premier vehicle that puts Indian cinema in the world spotlight is the annual IIFA Weekend and Awards event. In 2011.

Fashion, films, music and glamour came together on the sidelines of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards at the IIFA Rocks event on Friday. As Bollywood siren Bipasha Basu summed it up nicely "You can't take the music out of the Indians. There's music in our films, there has to be music in our fashion too."

Perhaps this is what led her to walk the ramp wearing celebrated Indian couturier Sabyasachi and dancing to the hits of Shankar Ehsaan Loy. It also spelt a triumphant return for Dabangg sensation Sonakshi Sinha, who was literally unknown when she promoted the film at last year's awards ceremony in Sri Lanka. Wearing a short Alexander McQueen dress, Sinha said she was still reeling from all the affection she was receiving from her fans in Toronto. "This is my first time that I have been nominated in IIFAs. The feeling was wonderful, especially when people started chanting Tere Mast Mast Nain," said Sinha.

But she wasn't in the modern avatar for too long. An effective show stopper for designer Vikram Phadnis, Sinha returned to her familiar on screen role wearing a rich ethnic ensemble.

Cameron Diaz stars in 'Bad Teacher'


Cameron Michelle Diaz is an American actress and former model. She became famous during the 1990s with roles in the movies The Mask, My Best Friend's Wedding, and There's Something About Mary. Other high profile movie credits include the two Charlie's Angels movies and voicing the character Princess Fiona for the Shrek series. Cameron Diaz, a gorgeous Hollywood actress with a reputation for being a great sport when it comes to doing physical comedy. "Bad Teacher" is exactly the one joke movie that you probably expect it to be, but there are enough variations and shadings of that one joke to sustain its brief running time just barely.  Cameron Diaz plays a bad teacher. She secretly sips airline size booze bottles during class, doesn't bother to learn her students' names and figures that showing them movies about education like "Stand and Deliver" and "Dangerous Minds" is just as good as educating them herself. Because you see, she's not teaching English at a suburban Chicago middle school for the deeply rewarding experience of shaping young minds. She just needs enough cash for a boob job, which she thinks will help her land a rich husband. In "Bad Teacher," Diaz plays a self absorbed middle school teacher killing time until she finds herself a rich husband. Diaz's real life ex boyfriend Justin Timberlake plays Scott, the quirky substitute teacher with family money on whom Elizabeth preys. Lucy Punch plays Amy, her perky nemesis, a fellow teacher who catches the eye of Timberlake's character, while Phyllis Smith portrays Lynn, a shy co worker eager to be Elizabeth's friend and Jason Segel plays Russell, the gym teacher who sees Elizabeth the gold digger for who she is but still wants to date her.

"I was reading the script and 30 pages in, I was like: 'I can't do this. This woman is so horrible, there is no way to redeem her,'" Diaz recalled. "And I was going on the assumption it was like every other Hollywood script. You do horrible things for the first half of the movie and then you spend the second half of the movie trying to apologize for it and make her a good person everybody likes. Nope. Got to the end and it was like she's still a bitch and she doesn't apologize for nothing and I was like, 'I have to play her.' She really was just so much fun to play. I really wanted her to be blunt. I didn't want any charm or charisma or maybe a woman trying not to hurt somebody's feelings. I wanted her to be like an unmovable rock."


Asked about an awkward, but hilarious sex scene Diaz has with Timberlake, in which both of their characters are fully clothed, Diaz joked: "Our objective was to create the least sexy sex scene ever put on film to show the total lack of chemistry between these two people. And I think we succeeded." Despite the fact they broke up in 2006, Diaz said she and Timberlake remain friends and share a similar sense of humor. of course, there's Justin Timberlake, Diaz's real life ex boyfriend. He plays a proper and preppy substitute who comes from old money but teaches because he truly believes in all that stuff about the children being our future. He may not get a chance to let loose with the kind of charisma he's shown on "Saturday Night Live" or in movies like "The Social Network," but it's always a pleasure seeing him toy with his pop star image.

Oprah gets honorary degree from S.African university


Oprah Winfrey is an American television host, actress, producer, and philanthropist, best known for her self titled, multi award winning talk show, which has become the highest rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century,the greatest black philanthropist in American history and was for a time the world's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood. Credited with creating a more intimate confessional form of media communication,she is thought to have popularized and revolutionized the tabloid talk show genre pioneered by Phil Donahue,which a Yale study claims broke 20th century taboos and allowed LGBT people to enter the mainstream. criticized for unleashing confession culture, promoting controversial self help ideas,and an emotion centered approach,she is often praised for overcoming adversity to become a benefactor to others.

Oprah Winfrey accepted an honorary degree from a central South African university infamous for troubled race relations. She accepted the degree from a South African university that has been called a model of reconciliation for its response to a racist student video that shocked the nation. Winfrey came to a school where five years ago, four white students made a video humiliating black housekeeping staff they are shown eating a stew the students had mimed spiking with urine and expressing opposition to integrating the historically white University of the Free State. Jonathan Jansen, who in 2009 became the university's first black rector, called for the four to be forgiven and rehabilitated. Jansen withstood accusations he was conceding too much to racists as he led the university, the students and the cleaners in a closely watched discussion of the role forgiveness could play in post apartheid South Africa. In a campus ceremony earlier this year, the students' public apology was accepted by the cleaners.

After receiving her honorary education doctorate Friday, Winfrey called five cleaners to the stage and pronounced them heroes. Winfrey said she had approached Jansen after reading about his work, and accepted an invitation to come to speak to students. University officials decided to make it a grand event. A roar from hundreds of people gathered outside first alerted those inside the university auditorium that Winfrey was about to enter for a ceremony for one that offered as much pomp, circumstance, song and dance as a full class's graduation. She threw her arms out with joy when told she was now a member of the university family a "Kovsie." Other moments moved her to tears. She kneeled on a padded stool to have her degree bestowed, flashing red stiletto heels to the cheering audience of all races.

The event brought international media to normally quiet Bloemfontein, the farming center where the century old, 31,000 student university is based. Susan Mshumpela, a 37 year old Bloemfontein native, came to the ceremony proudly dressed in the black robes she wore when she accepted her MBA from Free State last year. Mshumpela, operations manager for an agency that helps small businesses, said she hoped Winfrey's visit would give her alma mater a chance to tell the world about its strengths. "The eyes of the world are here," she said. "I don't think a person of her stature could just accept an honorary degree from just any university. She would want to be associated with a university of stature."

Nadipha Jacobs, a black student, says the university is growing more tolerant.Chantell De Reuck, a white graduate student strolling across campus Friday with her friend Jacobs, said the divides that are healing weren't just along racial lines. When she arrived as an undergraduate in 1999, she was among only six English speaking students in a dorm dominated by Afrikaners, descendants of early Dutch settlers who speak Afrikaans. The English students stuck together then. Not now, De Reuck said.

De Reuck said black and white students at the university can connect to Winfrey's personal story of early years of struggle and abuse, and find inspiration in her current success.Winfrey is a frequent visitor to South Africa, where she opened a school in 2007 dedicated to giving bright young women of all races opportunities in a society where they are handicapped by conservative traditions as well as the poor schools that are a legacy of apartheid. Her school's first class just graduated, overcoming early setbacks that included a scandal over a dormitory supervisor accused of trying to kiss and fondle students. The supervisor was acquitted of sexual assault charges last year. In a passage that the citation accompanying Winfrey's honorary doctorate, the 152nd awarded by the university, said Winfrey "has truly become a South African. She did so because she believed that there was important work to be done here, and she wanted to be part of what Nelson Mandela and others had begun.Previous recipients of Free State honorary degrees include anti apartheid icons Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Winfrey's visit overlapped with that of another famous Chicagoan Michelle Obama, wife of the U.S. president.
