We never expected any storyline but even the presenation is not of some decent level. In parts, the movie may appeal to some sections of the audience, but overall it is a big letdown. The actor-director is probably expecting the star power, glamor and Hollywood to work here but the concoction fails miserably.
The leading lady Kareena Kapoor is okay and looks hot and sexy whenever required. Javed Jaffery and Boman Irani are wasted.
The movie is watchable only if you are a fan of Akki or Bebo. Otherwise give it a pass.

The display will illustrate how tastes have changed over the decade, with the clean-cut Shadows and Dave Clark Five giving way to the psychedelia of Pink Floyd and the androgynous appeal of David Bowie.
The exhibition will include a photograph of Hendrix during a visit to London in 1967, and a series of pictures of the Beatles shot for the cover of Boyfriend magazine in 1963, both taken by the photographer Fiona Adams.
Cecil Beaton’s portrait of Scott Walker is another image on public display for the first time.
There will also be a rare group shot captioned ‘Million Dollar Poppets’ in which female stars Cilla Black and Lulu pose alongside Marianne Faithfull and Elkie Brooks, amongst others.
“This exhibition will show how, in the 1960s, music changed the world - and how Britain was the central axis of new popular culture,” the Telegraph quoted Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery, as saying.

The girls, many of whom were models, actresses or Playboy centrefolds, could fetch nearly 50,000 dollars per night for sex, while Fleiss’ girls only got about 10,000 dollars per night.

It seems that he stayed in the park later than his normal stay and when bears were becoming more aggressive. Perhaps, this led to bears attacking them.

Under the terms of the bargain, he is likely to serve no jail time and will instead do six months community service and placed on probation.
But the recommended sentence has not been met with favour by domestic violence campaigners, who say that it sends out the wrong message and may discourage women reporting violence.
“It is letting him off the hook. What they are doing is letting him off easy. I do not know what it accomplishes. It is laughable,” the Daily Express quoted Roslyn Muraskin, professor of criminal justice and director of the Long Island Women’s Institute, as saying.
“It will discourage people coming forward. It is revolving justice - you get a slap on the wrist and let back on the streets. It is not proper justice, it is a joke.
“It is typical (of the US justice system). They do not pay a great deal of attention to women who are the victims of domestic violence. When people get killed, that is when they pay attention,” the author of ‘It’s A Crime: Women and Justice’ stated.
“There are so many deterrents preventing women coming forward,” Retha Fielding, of the US National Domestic Violence Hotline, added.
UK-based campaign groups also warned that “ineffective, low” sentencing does not protect vulnerable women.
But charities welcomed the publicity surrounding the case.
“We welcome the clear message that this sends around the world that domestic violence is unacceptable and perpetrators can and should be convicted,” Deborah McIlveen, spokeswoman for Women’s Aid, said.
“Domestic violence is a serious crime that affects one woman in four during her lifetime. This case has highlighted the fact that domestic violence affects all parts of our society,” Sandra Horley, chief executive of Refuge, voiced her opinion.

“What message have we sent to the people of Darfur? Only that they are completely dispensable,” the Daily Express quoted Farrow as saying.
Farrow, 64, explained that Darfur had dropped out of the worldwide political agenda since humanitarian agencies were expelled from the region.
She urged that world leaders should do more to tackle the situation.
“After the expulsion of the humanitarians, Darfur simply slipped from the news,” she said.
“Great Britain and the United States could certainly do more. We haven’t heard anything recently from Gordon Brown, or anyone really. We have heard very little from President Obama since he was elected, except to deny the findings of his special envoy, who seemed to diminish the conflict.
“President Obama, my president of whom I am extremely proud, has not been so active on Darfur as we hoped he would be. I hope that ‘yes we can’ - we can help the people of Darfur.
“Undeniably, genocide has occurred and is occurring in Darfur. The question is, and it is a defining moment for all of us: ‘What do we do about it? Is it ok to simply watch?’ It is unacceptable to watch this level of humanitarian disaster.”
“I think there is no political will because it is not in any national interest except those in the neighbourhood. It is I think without precedent for a world to get involved in a regional conflict unless there is a national interest. That is sad and I don’t know if we can continue with that concept.
“It serves no one to have a collapsed state. If we are seeing Darfur become more and more like Somalia and if, indeed, we are supposedly fighting the war on terror and the idea of international terrorism is one that strikes a chord, then that’s a national interest - a compelling one - for all nations to get involved,” she added.

]]>A report published by Gender & Society says that in the world of Disney, falling in heterosexual love can break a spell, save Christmas, change laws, stop wars and even, in the case of The Little Mermaid, cause an individual to give up her personal identity.
The article says that while such dramatic plot twists may keep kids glued to television and movie theatre screens, they also elevate heterosexuality to powerful, magical heights.
These findings challenge the notion that such movies are without sexual content.
The determinations could even help to explain why multiple prior ethnographic studies suggest that children understand the normativity of heterosexuality by the time they enter elementary school, relegating homosexuality to the abnormal, unusual and unexpected, necessitating explanation.
Karin Martin and Emily Kazyak, who jointly authored the study, say: “The media are an important avenue of children’s sexual socialization because young children are immersed in media-rich worlds.”
For their study, the researchers analysed all G-rated movies released or rereleased between 1990 and 2005, which had grossed more than $100 million in the US.
Three trained research assistants extracted story lines, images, scenes, songs and dialogue that addressed anything about sexuality, including depictions of bodies, kissing, jokes, romance, weddings, dating, love, where babies come from, and pregnancy.
The researchers used a qualitative software program to inductively code the text describing the material.
The analysis found that the films “depict a rich and pervasive heterosexual landscape,” despite the assumption that children’s media are free of sexual content.
The movies repeatedly mark relationships between opposite sex lead characters as special and magical.
“Characters in love are surrounded by music, flowers, candles, magic, fire, balloons, fancy dresses, dim lights, dancing and elaborate dinners. Fireflies, butterflies, sunsets, wind and the beauty and power of nature often provide the setting for—and a link to the naturalness of—hetero-romantic love,” the researchers observed.
According to the researchers, their analysis has also determined that heterosexuality is construed through depictions of overtly feminised women and masculine males, with the male characters spending much of their time longingly gazing at the former. Toys and other products tied to the films later reinforce the images, they add.
They researchers say that such heavily gendered depictions and glorified portrayals of heterosexual relationships appear to maintain old ideals presented in 19th century Brothers Grimm fairy tales, many of which inspired Disney films.
A previous study by Western Illinois University’s Lori Baker-Sperry and University of Central Florida’s Liz Grauerholz, which explored the extent to which “feminine beauty” is highlighted in fairy tales, showed that attention to female attractiveness had likely become more prevalent over the past century, with beauty in fairy tales most often associated with “being white, economically privileged and virtuous.”
“We suggest that this emphasis on a feminine beauty ideal may operate as a normative social control for girls and women,” the researchers added.
Taken together, the observations made during the two studies indicate that children are frequently exposed to powerful, influential media messages concerning both attractiveness and sexuality.
Martin and Kazyak conclude: “Both ordinary and exceptional constructions of heterosexuality work to normalize its status because it becomes difficult to imagine anything other than this form of social relationship or anyone outside of these bonds.”

Lucier would then fly with the women and drive them to Brooks’ home.
“[Brooks] would say, ‘You ought to have a glass of wine, that’s part of the procedure,’” said District Attorney Robert Morgenthau.
According to the prosecutors, women aged 18 to 30, were “incapacitated” by the drinks.

The 44-year-old songtress, who has battled heroin and cocaine addictions, appeared pale and gaunt while hanging out in the market, reported the Sun. In August 2007 she promised she had “taken care of my eating disorder”.
However since then her weight has gone up and down frequently and she’s had to deny claims of surgery. Earlier this year, she told Elle magazine: “If I could get a gastric band I would! “I’ve heard it’s a lot of vomiting and a pain in the ass, but it’s still easier than a diet.
“I did go to see a Hollywood doctor about it. I wasn’t desperate, I just knew I had to do something. He said ‘no’. “I might have been fat, but I wasn’t that fat. I tried lipo on my stomach after that. It was horrible and it didn’t work,” she added.

Klum and Seal have been exchanging vows with themed ceremonies every year since their own 2005 nuptials.
“Do it big or don’t do it at all. We’re always having a party… It was so quiet the first time and we want to have a party for everybody. We went to the Maldives and had another wedding on a private island,” the Daily Express quoted Cannon as saying.
“We’re going to get married every single year in a different location. You’ve got to do it different every single year, different every time, themed weddings, all of that,” he added.

]]>While the couple had earlier said that they did talk about being moms, they have finally decided that they are happier being cool aunts.
“I don’t think we’re going to have kids. We have animals, and we love them. And, you know, we are brand new aunts. Her brother and his wife just had a baby girl who’s a month old now, and it’s fun to be a part of that,” People magazine quoted DeGeneres as telling AOL Television.
After tying the knot last summer, DeGeneres said: “It’s something we would never take lightly and just say, ‘That would be fun.’ It’s a lot of work and we recognize that. In a way, we want to be selfish because we love our life, but we know how much that adds to it.”
And, since then, DeGeneres, 51, and de Rossi, 36, who have crusaded for gay marriage, prefer focussing on their relationship rather than having children.
“It’s just a huge responsibility, and I don’t know that that’s something we want to take on. We’re very happily married without children,” said DeGeneres.

“Being in a boy band, I’m very aware of keeping myself in shape, and it makes you a little bit vain!” Contactmusic quoted him as telling Britain’s Closer magazine.
“I work out with a personal trainer every day in the gym, and I don’t eat carbs. I eat plenty of protein like beef, chicken and veg, and absolutely no chips, rice or potatoes. I’m in the best shape of my life,” he added.
The father-of-three- further revealed the tough aspect of his job, adding: “I miss the kids terribly when I’m away touring, it’s the toughest thing about my job. Not being there to put them to bed or collect them from school.
“But while I’m not planning on having more, I’d be over the moon if we got a surprise addition to the family.”

And a mass of surgery scars were thought to be the legacy of at least 13 cosmetic operations”.
