Madonna has filed an appeal in Malawi's High Court

April,4,09
Madonna has filed an appeal in Malawi's High Court, challenging a judge's ruling that prevents her from adopting a second child from the African country.

The singer was denied her request for an interim adoption of 4-year-old Mercy James on Friday, five days after making her application official.

The attempt was reportedly rejected because of a requirement that prospective parents be resident in the country for 18 to 24 months prior to an adoption.

But the 50-year-old is determined to fight the ruling and lodged an appeal in the capital city of Lilongwe, just hours after her application was turned down.

Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula says, "I just filed the notice of appeal this afternoon on instructions from my client."

The star's bid to add James, whose 18-year-old mother died days after childbirth, to her family and take her to the U.S. has not been without controversy -- the move was met with hostility from human rights groups, who insisted the tot should remain in her homeland.

The hitmaker adopted her son David Banda, 3, from the country in 2006 but the arrangement was not finalized until 2008, following two years of legal wrangling.

She also has an 8-year-old son, Rocco, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, and a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship.

April,2,09
Bond movie actors Gemma Arterton and Mads Mikkelsen are to star in mythological epic Clash of the Titans.

British actress Arterton, who played Agent Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace, said she is "really excited" about her role of demi-goddess Io.

Danish star Mikkelsen, who portrayed villain Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, will play a warrior called Draco.

The movie, which is a new version of the 1981 original, is due to begin filming later this month.

'Brilliant woman'

Speaking at the recent Empire Awards in London, Arterton explained that her character is the protector of the film's lead figure, Perseus, who will be played by Sam Worthington.

"She's like the guardian angel and she's really great - a really brilliant woman, even though she's a goddess," added the actress.

Arterton is also appearing in British director Richard Curtis's latest film The Boat That Rocked, which is due to open in UK cinemas today.

The original version of Clash of the Titans starred the late Sir Laurence Olivier and Dame Maggie Smith, and used stop motion animation techniques to bring mythological monsters to life.

Natalie Cole has been inundated with offers of kidneys from fans

April,2,09

Singer Natalie Cole has been inundated with offers of kidneys from fans after she revealed on American television that she needed a transplant.

The daughter of Nat King Cole told Larry King she was facing a lifetime of dialysis after both her kidneys failed following treatment for hepatitis C.

While still live on air, King was able to present Cole with a pile of emails from viewers offering their own organs.

Cole, appearing stunned, said: "There are some great human beings out there."

Aggressive treatment

The 59-year-old singer was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 2008. At the time, she said she was ready to "meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination".

Cole attributes her hepatitis C to years of drug use. The performer was addicted to heroin, LSD and cocaine before going into rehab in 1984. Sharing needles is one of the ways the disease can be passed on.

The singer underwent an aggressive treatment of chemotherapy and weeks afterwards she said: "I couldn't breathe. Literally, my kidneys stopped functioning.

"They stopped processing the fluid that was starting to build up in my body."

The singer told Larry King "dialysis is keeping me alive". She makes three trips a week for three-and-a-half hour treatments to clean her blood.

'Amazing' offers

King handed her a sheaf of papers saying: "These are all e-mails from dozens of people offering to be tested to see if they can match, who want to give you a kidney.

The overwhelmed singer called the offers "amazing" saying: "I always felt that it was just so strange to solicit to strangers for a kidney.

"But people are really great. There are some great human beings out there. That's all I can say" she added.

Attempts to find a donor match within her family have been unsuccessful.

The singer is determined to keep touring despite her illness. She collected two Grammy awards this year giving her a career total of ten wins.

She said on the Larry King show that if a living donor was found, she would try and delay the operation until the end of the year because of current work commitments.

"It is not a life and death situation," she claimed.

Katrina Kaif for slum kids ,

April,2,09
Amidst the fashion razzmatazz that’s been gripping tinsel town lately, Katrina Kaif took some time out from her busy schedule to be with slum kids of Dharavi. Dressed casually in jeans and T-shirt, the actress mingled with these children at Nature’s Park in Dharavi, Mumbai. She was there on behalf of ‘Being Human’ organization which is an initiative of Salman Khan Foundation.

This particular organization works for the underprivileged kids who dwell in slums. Katrina being a representative of ‘Being Human’ wore the T-shirt of the same name. At a time when media is speculating about the trouble in the Sallu-Kat paradise, such a gesture by the kind-hearted Katrina must have zipped up many mouths.
The absence of Salman, however, was something unexpected. Nevertheless, the charming Katrina made Sunday morning for the kids a day to remember as she met and talked to them personally. Children, too, were happy after seeing their favourite actress and they even got her autograph.

Dharavi is not only India’s but also Asia’s largest slum and ‘Being Human’ NGO sponsored by Salman Khan Foundation tries to do its bit by helping the downtrodden in this particular area.

Kat and Salman may have ups and downs in their relationship, but they definitely complement each other. And Katrina’s presence at Dharavi showed that she is supportive of her beau’s benevolent deeds and acts.

Miley Cyrus plans to be back on the big screen,

April,1,09

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Miley Cyrus plans to be back on the big screen, and soon. Hannah Montana? Not likely after her latest film.

So says the 16-year-old tween phenom, whose alter ego brings her secret double life as a pop star to theaters April 10 with Hannah Montana: The Movie.

The film reveals Hannah Montana's identity to the world in a way Cyrus says is "very clever" and diminishes the chances of a sequel — but doesn't dampen the future of the popular Disney TV show.

The film follows last year's sold-out Cyrus-Montana concert tour and her Best of Both Worlds Concert 3D movie, which grossed more than $60 million, a rare hit for a concert film.

"I don't know if I would do another (Hannah Montana) film, but I would love to do another season," said Cyrus, who's signed up for a third and says she's interested in a fourth. "That would be what we would all agree on."

Cyrus also seems to agree with the idea of a jump to Hollywood: She's planning to spend the summer working on a film written by Nights in Rodanthe and The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks. But this is no adaptation of a bestselling romantic novel — instead, Sparks went directly to the screenplay this time, and did so with Cyrus in mind for the part.

Other than the title, The Last Song, neither Sparks nor Cyrus are giving away any plot points. But Cyrus hints at a role that will put her acting chops to the test.

"I've always been lucky to play parts that relate to me, and this doesn't at all," she said. "I have my issues, but not as bad as this chick. So I'm happy to play someone that's just kind of out there and not someone that I'm like."

Like anyone else, Cyrus is waiting to see whether she's "a good actress or not, or if I'm just good at playing myself.

"So," she added, "We'll see how that goes."

Will that affect her status as a role model for young girls? Not any more than her feelings on the glamorous life she's chosen: Asked what kids should do if they're torn between pursuing an acting dream or going to college, Cyrus responds with her usual unfiltered candor.

"I say 'do it,'" she said, laughing as if she knew what kind of trouble she was causing for herself. "Be a freak. Go to Hollywood."

Nicholas sparks has created a new role for miley cyrus

April,1,09
The celebrated novelist wrote The Last Song with the teen sensation in mind - and now she's set to star in the film.

Cyrus tells WENN, "Nicholas Sparks wrote the movie The Last Song for me and you never hear that the movie is written before the book. He wrote it with me in mind.

"I've always been lucky to play parts that relate to me and this doesn't at all. I have my issues but not as bad as this chick (in the movie), so I'm happy to play someone that's just kind of out there and not someone I like, so I can actually see if I'm a good actress or not.

"So we'll see how that goes!"

Cyrus will play a rebellious teenager sent to spend the summer with her estranged father in the film, which will mark Julie Anne Robinson's big film directorial debu.

Nicole Kidman has proved to be a blessing for Rubina Ali

April,1,09

Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman has proved to be a blessing for Slumdog Millionaire kid Rubina Ali. The nine-year-old has been paid more than what she got for working in Slumdog for a drinks commercial with Nicole. At least that is what Rubina’s father Rafiq Ali has claimed. Rafiq had reportedly gone on record saying the money Rubina received for doing the commercial with Nicole was more than what the makers of the multiple Oscar-winning film paid her. “The people of Slumdog Millionaire haven’t kept their promises, despite all the media attention they have received. We have no information about the supposed trust fund. Even the £ 21 (about Rs 1,470)- a- month stipend that they were giving for Rubina’s studies has stopped,” Rafiq told British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
Meanwhile, Nicole’s co- star in the advertisement Arjun Rampal has gifted the Hollywood stunner a sari specially designed for her by Tarun Tahiliani. Nicole was reportedly touched and happy with the gift. For those who came in late, Arjun and Nicole had been shooting for five days for the ad, which has been directed by Shekhar Kapur. In fact, Arjun’s wife Meher Jessia too gifted her a Tarun Tahiliani sari. It is sheer Italian metallic chiffon with tiny Swarovski crystals attached to it.

Mallika Sherawat now News of California

April,1,09

Mallika Sherawat, once known for making bold statements and wearing bolder clothes, has been terribly missed.
The bold, courageous beauty had shied away from the Indian media and prefers to be seen with the Chings-&-Changs and Yin-&-Yangs. Well, this time round it’s California, that Mallika is shining in. She showed up at a fund-raising, wine-testing luncheon in Malibu, a few days ago and created quite a stir with her trademark deep neck. The actress, we hear, was auctioned, and the winning bidder got to spend a day with her — you know the usual lunch, photo-shoots et al. Of course the money ($1400) went towards charity. Maan gaye Mallika-e-Sherawat.

The ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ hitmaker, who recently got married to businessman Matthew Robinson in Malibu, was tearful while her father accompanied her towards her Matthew.

“I started crying when I walked down the aisle with my dad John. I’d made sure I had waterproof mascara, because I cry when I’m happy. I felt so at peace and felt no fear. Even when Matt and I were taking our vows we were whispering, ‘This just feels so natural, like it was meant to be,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

Even Natasha’s husband Matthew was oozing with overwhelming emotions on his big day.

“It wasn’t until I saw Natasha come down the aisle with her proud papa that I started to breathe heavily,” he said.

“She was stunning, absolutely beautiful. It was quite a sight; I didn’t expect it to be that overwhelming,” he added.
