Johnny Depp Hit With Lawsuit After Bodyguards Tackled Disabled Woman at Concert

 An alleged incident involving Johnny Depp's bodyguards and a disabled woman at an Iggy Pop concert back in December 2011 has resulted in a lawsuit against the Hollywood actor. Claiming to have suffered "injuries to the extreme and outrageous humiliation" because of the incident, the woman identified as Jane Doe filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, April 16.

In the court documents, the woman dished that she attended the concert with her husband and was in her VIP seat when she was forcibly moved by Depp's bodyguards. She alleged that the guards were so rough in removing her from the VIP section that her shoes came off and her clothes became disheveled.

The woman, who claimed to be a medical professor at UC Irvine, went on to detail that the bodyguards also restrained her wrists and tried to rip her iPhone from her hands one finger at a time. The situation got worse when they handcuffed her and dragged her through the venue, causing her pants to fall off and "exposing her buttocks to the other Hollywood Palladium Theater patrons."

According to the woman, Depp was fully aware of what his security team was doing. In fact, she alleged that the Captain Jack Sparrow of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise was "supplying direct supervision and management of his security guards and directing their current and future actions."

Because of the scuffle, the woman claimed to have suffered severe injuries, including dislocated elbow, "cuts, bruising, scrapes, swelling, hyper-pigmentation and bleeding." She also said that the incident exacerbated her pre-existing condition. She allegedly has spondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia.

The woman is now seeking unspecified damages from Depp and the Hollywood Palladium for 12 causes of action, including negligence, assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and discriminatory practices in public accommodations.

Rihanna Shows Toned Body and Nipple in Vacation Pics

 Rihanna was having such a good time in Hawaii and she showed it in pictures. The Barbadian pop star shared photos of her island vacation including the ones where she was scantily clad in white bikini and when she was not wearing any top at all.

More than 150 pics were posted on her Facebook account on Monday, April 16 night, many of whom are of her and friends. The singer basked under the sun in so tiny a two piece that one of her nipples peeked out. In another photo, she flung off the bikini top while standing underneath a waterfall, covering the breasts with her right hand.

Last month, Rihanna admitted to Britain's Women's Fitness magazine that she likes to dress in sexy clothes. "The more I got naked, the more comfortable I felt," she said, adding "After a while, it was like, 'What's the worst that can happen?' I just started being a little more daring with it. It was just knowing my body ...is what it is under clothes or outside of clothes."

 Two more older women are linked to One Direction's Harry Styles. The 18-year-old reportedly asked 32-year-old "The Bachelorette" star Jillian Harris to go on a date although she later politely turned him down. Rihanna is the second woman whom Styles was interested in hooking up.

According Us Magazine, the British heartthrob ran into Harris in Los Angeles on April 2. He asked for her number but she was not interested in younger men.

Harris herself, when asked by Us about Styles, said, "I was super flattered!"

Styles is also interested in another cougar, Rihanna. The songstress was quoted as saying "Harry, yeah. I watch their videos and I remember thinking, 'Wow, he's a star.' He seems very sure. It seems, like, it's so natural to him." Styles responded on the flattery, "That is absolutely incredible. I'd love to hook up."

One Direction and Rihanna reportedly stay in the same hotel during their stay in Sydney, Australia. "The boys have been desperately trying to find her. They've been trying to work out what room she's in from her Twitter pictures of her view," a source said.

Styles has been linked to older women after the report that he went on a relationship with 32-year-old U.K. TV personality, Caroline Flack.

Amanda Bynes Caught on Camera Texting While Driving a Week After DUI Arrest

 Despite having just been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, Amanda Bynes might have not learned her lesson. On Thursday, April 12 night, the former Nickelodeon actress went out partying again and broke another law as she was photographed texting behind the wheels while trying to park her car outside a Los Angeles hotspot.

Seemingly too focused on the screen of her white iPhone, Bynes eventually backed over a curb in a red zone with her car. A photographer additionally spilled to PEOPLE that the 26-year-old starlet was "not even looking at the road." According to the photog, she even "went right through a stop sign." It should be noted that texting while driving is illegal in the state of California since 2009.

On Thursday night, Bynes was spotted hitting two hotspots, Chateau Marmont and Greystone Manor. Arriving at the latter venue before midnight, the "Easy A" actress was joined by a male friend. A witness told the publication, "She was behind the wheel of a black BMW. When Amanda saw the photographers, she tried to hide under her sweater as she entered the club. Amanda was in a good mood."

Bynes was arrested for DUI in West Hollywood on early Friday, April 6 morning. A statement from West Hollywood Sheriff's Department regarding her arrest detailed that the "Hairspray" actress collided with the right rear quarter panel of a police car when she tried to pass it. She was released without posting any bail later that day.

Asked how the female judge reacts after the news broke out the same day she appeared on the FOX reality series, Skylar Laine replied, "I'm sure Jennifer is handling things fine. She's Jennifer Lopez, she can do what she wants!"

Echoing the country music beauty's statement, Colton Dixon claimed the "On the Floor" hitmaker didn't show any negative attitude despite the divorce filing. "I didn't know that," so the 20-year-old said. "Yikes. Jennifer is a superstar. I never would have known from her attitude that news [on her divorce] was released today. She's such a class act. We all love Jennifer. She's so genuine, she's a very independent woman and she knows how to handle herself that way."

On Jennifer's much younger boyfriend Casper Smart, Skylar commented, "We've seen Casper." The country music beauty added, "I've never met him, but I've seen him. He wears sunglasses a lot. It's whatever she wants. I'm sure he's a nice guy. She looks taller than him which is kind of funny. Maybe it's her heels."

Jessica Sanchez also gushed on the couple's relationship, simply saying, "They're cute together." Meanwhile, Elise Testone admitted watching Jennifer and her boy-toy on "Dance Again" music video made her feel like she "was invading their personal space."

Still, she added, "But she's so beautiful, and I really do look up to her. I think she was rocking what she's got, and that's all you can do while you're here on Earth. If I looked like J.Lo, I would do that all the time!"

Phillip Phillips, on the other hand, enjoys watching the clip which is filled with steamy scenes as telling E! Online, "The video was mmm-mmm-good!" He added with laugh, "I wasn't complaining."

Marc Anthony filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez on Monday, April 9, but it's not until Wednesday, April 4 that the news broke out. The couple, who tied the knot on June 5, 2004 in a secret ceremony, has been separated since July 2011.

Prachi will be seen in “Bol Bachchan”, starring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan and “I Main Aur Main” that has John Abraham in the lead role. Both the films will release in June.

“It has been a long time that I waited to play my age on screen and be myself, play roles that are more like me. I guess ‘Bol Bachchan’ and ‘I Me Aur Main’ have given me that chance. This is the phase I am really enjoying,” she told reporters at the launch of a skin care product here Tuesday.

“I am in the experimenting phase. I am really liking the work I am doing now. It was something that I was waiting for. The kind of roles I play now were the ones I was looking forward to play,” the 23-year-old added.

Prachi launched sun protection Ultrasheer Complete UV Moisture by skincare brand Neutrogena.

“I know for sure that it’s going to be a fantastic film. I am looking forward to it because the story is completely different, the cast is completely different and I believe it is going to be even better than the first one,” she said.

Scarlett Johansson Reacts to the Using of Her Photo in Sex Shop Ads

 Scarlett Johansson doesn't let herself bothered by recent report that her sexy image has been used to advertise a sex shop near the border of Mexico. In a statement she released to E! News, the Black Widow of "The Avengers" simply said, "I applaud TMZ's, once again, award winning investigative journalism for securing the knowledge of my legions of Mexican fans."

The 27-year-old actress has unwittingly become the new face of porn after a photo of herself in a black bra, unbuttoned white shirt and tiny shorts graced the business cards of VIP, a Spanish-speaking adult store that is located in Calexico, California. Surrounding her image were Spanish text of the products the store sells, which include "DVD & VHS" and "lubricantes".

When contacted by TMZ, the store manager seemingly had no idea that the ripping off of the image might lead to a problem. "What does it have to do with the business card? I don't know who Scarlett Johansson is," he said before explaining, "The owner ordered cards from a company and said we need something with a girl on the card and the company did it."

'Glee' 3.16 Preview: Disco Time and Brittana's Sex Tape

 Disco music will be played at the McKinley High hall in the next episode of "Glee". Apparently sharing a similar taste with Sue Sylvester, Will Schuester will take the New Directions kids to go back in time and embrace the songs from an older generation.

Not happy with Mr. Schuester's idea, Mercedes and friends yell, "Disco sucks." They, somehow, will soon change her opinion and launch into performances of such Bee Gees songs as "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" under the disco ball.

The disco theme aside, Santana is worried about a possible leaked sex tape featuring her and Brittany, but the blonde cheerleader seemingly does not share the anxiety at all.

Mahie Gill is Mona Darling in ‘Zanjeer’ remake

 Bindu’s iconic ‘Mona Darling’ act in “Zanjeer” in 1973 is now being taken over by Mahie Gill, who admits the role is challenging but says she will pull it off.

Ajit had played the arch-villain Teja in the original; for the remake, Prakash Raj has been roped in. Southern actor Ram Charan Teja, son of superstar Chiranjeevi, will step into Amitabh Bahchan’s shoes to play the Angry Young Man.

“I was initially apprehensive about doing the part. I wondered if I’d be able to carry it off. It was director Apoorva Lakhia who convinced me. Now I’m very excited. To recreate the original vamp ‘Mona Darling’ of the 1970s for today’s audience is a challenge. And most of my scenes are with Prakash Raj who is a very good actor. I think I’ll be able to pull it off,” said Mahie, who recently wowed audiences with her bold avatar in “Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster”.

The culture of an overweight seductress went out with Bindu. While Bindu got away with slit dresses and body stockings in “Zanjeer”, Mahie, we are told, would be doing some heavy duty lovemaking scenes with Prakash Raj and would also need to get into better shape for a bikini.

“We definitely want Mahie’s Mona Darling to go beyond Binduji. If Binduji became synonymous with the character in the 1970s, we want people to shout ‘Mona Darling’ at Mahie when she steps out,” said Amit Mehra, son of Prakash Mehra who had produced and directed the Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Zanjeer”. He was speaking on behalf of the film’s producers – Reliance Entertainment, Adai Mehra Productions and Flying Turtle Films.

“Those times, when the first ‘Zanjeer’ was made, were different. Today, being sexy doesn’t mean performing a cabaret in a slit dress. Mahie will have to be seen performing more horizontal acts with Prakash Raj. And she’ll definitely be seen a bikini,” he added.

Both Mahie and Prakash Raj, who is rather bulky, have been asked to shed kilos urgently.

Mahie’s weight is not the only thing that goes from Bindu’s Mona Darling act. The sizzling Asha Bhosle number “Diljalon ka dil jala ke” has also been done away with. Mahie was apparently most keen to dance to Bindu’s number.

“We’re doing an entirely new hip and slick club song for Mahie to dance to. With due respects to Helenji and Binduji, cabarets are no longer a part of popular nightclub culture,” said Mehra.

Priyanka not yet confirmed for ‘Zanjeer’ remake – Apoorva Lakhia

 The leading lady for the remake of 1973 film “Zanjeer” is yet to be finalised, says director Apoorva Lakhia, putting rest to rumours that Priyanka Chopra has already been cast. He also says that he is yet to approach Amitabh Bachchan to play a part in the film.

“Priyanka Chopra is not yet confirmed. We have not yet decided on that. However, we are starting the film’s shoot from May 13. The scenes of the lead actor will be shot,” Lakhia, who will direct the project, told IANS.

The lead hero in the remake will be essayed by southern superstar Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja, who will step into the shoes of Amitabh for the remake.

While rumours are rife that Amitabh will be seen in a cameo in the remake, Lakhia says he hasn’t approached the megastar yet. However, he will do that soon.

“I have not approached Mr. Bachchan yet. But I will soon approach him. It would be great if he could show his presence in the film,” said Lakhia, who has worked with Big B in films like “Shootout At Lokhandwala”, “Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost” and “Ek Ajnabee”.

He considers it is “duty” to approach Big B for the “Zanjeer” remake, but says it is upto the veteran to agree to the project or not.

“I would approach him for all obvious reasons. Who does not want to cast Mr. Bachchan in their film,” said Lakhia.

The original “Zanjeer”, also featured Jaya Bhaduri and Pran in key roles. It played a vital role in shaping Amitabh’s career by not just catapulting him to fame, but also by giving him the title of “angry young man” at that time.

The remake of “Zanjeer” is being produced by first-timer Amit Mehra.

'Hunger Games' Beats 'American Reunion' and 'Titanic 3D' on Box Office

 "The Hunger Games" continues its victorious run on the North American box office. Defending its champion title for three weeks in a row, the famous novel-adapted movie rakes in an estimated $33.5 million this weekend. Dropping only 43% from last week, the survival sci-fi pic collects a total domestic cume of $302.8 million in only 17 days after being released in the U.S. theaters.

Landing on the runner-up spot is "American Reunion", which takes in around $21.5 million on its opening weekend. The latest movie of the "American Pie" series scores a "B+" CinemaScore, while attracting mostly older moviegoers which make up 60% of the ticket buyers.

Though "Reunion", which is made with a budget of $50 million, marks the smallest opening in the "Pie" franchise, Universal Pictures is satisfied enough with the result. The studio's president of domestic distribution Nikki Rocco says, "We're very happy with the worldwide result for 'American Reunion'. Based on the cost, this is going to be a very successful endeavor for Universal."

Another newcomer this week is the 3D re-release of phenomenal 1997 film "Titanic". Opening on the third place, the James Cameron movie collects an estimated $17.3 million. The result, however, is smaller than recent 3D re-release movies, such as "The Lion King" 3D ($30.2 million), "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" 3D ($22.5 million), and "Beauty and the Beast (1991)" 3D (17.8 million).

Megan Colligan, Paramount Pictures president of domestic distribution, hopes that "Titanic" 3D could raise its grossing from good word of mouth. "There's something very special about seeing it again on the big screen," says Colligan. "It's an experience."

Greek myth epic "Wrath of the Titans" drops to the fourth place this weekend. Falling 55% from last week, the $150 million fantasy film collects approximately $15 million for a total cume of $58.8 million after two weeks playing in cinemas. So far, the film couldn't best its predecessor, 2010's "Clash of the Titans", which bagged $110.2 million in only 10 days.

Rounding up the top five is Tarsem Singh's Snow White film "Mirror Mirror" which grabs $11 million, dropping a mild 39% from last week. On its second weekend, the family movie takes in a total domestic cume of $36.4 million, which still doesn't match its $85 million budget. 

Top Ten Movies at Box Office for April 6-8:

1. "The Hunger Games" - $33.5 million
2. "American Reunion" - $21.5 million
3. "Titanic" 3D - $17.3 million
4. "Wrath of the Titans" - $15 million
5. "Mirror Mirror" - $11 million
6. "21 Jump Street" - $10.2 million
7. "The Lorax" - $5 million
8. "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" - $975,000
9. "John Carter" - $820,000
10. "Safe House" - $581,000

Amanda Bynes Spotted at Tow Yard After Jail Release

Amanda Bynes doesn't waste time in getting her car back after she was released from jail. On Friday, April 6, the former host of Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show" was spotted showing up at a tow yard in Los Angeles to pick up the BMW she allegedly crashed into a cop car earlier in the morning.

Hiding her eyes behind dark sunglasses, 26-year-old Bynes still donned the same outfit that she wore during her DUI arrest and when she left the police station, a black blazer and mini skirt. One of her photos, which made their way out via TMZ, displays her sitting on a bench with a bottle of water near her. The gossip site noted that the former child actress was "clearly suffering from a painful hangover".

Bynes got herself arrested in West Hollywood at 3 A.M. Friday morning after sideswiping a police car when attempting to pass it. She was immediately pulled over and was taken into custody after the officer found out that she had been drinking. Booked at West Hollywood Sheriff's Station, she was reportedly released on $5,000 bail.

E! News, however, claimed that the Marianne Bryant of "Easy A" was not required to pay the bond when she was released from jail. It noted that the actress, who sports a pink hair in her mug shot, was only issued a citation. Upon her release, she kept her head down and didn't give any response to the reporters as she made her way into a passenger seat of an awaiting car.

Donald Trump Needs to Stop Being Focused on Genitals, Jenna Talackova's Attorney Says

 Donald Trump's latest comment about Jenna Talackova in an interview for "20/20" has invited sneer from the transgender beauty queen's attorney. After Donald told Barbara Walters that Jenna's name, if put together, sounds like genital, Gloria Allred said that the owner of Miss Universe Organization had to stop "being focused on genitals".

"With all due respect to Mr. Trump, he really needs to stop being focused on genitals, his or anyone else's," Gloria told the show's host during the TV interview. With Jenna sitting next to her, the famous Hollywood lawyer further stated, "This world does not revolve around his penis or anyone else's genitalia."

When asked why she took on Jenna's case, Gloria pointed out, "What happened to Jenna is very, very important." She went on explaining, "The Miss Universe competition had the rule that a contestant had to be a naturally born female. That is a rule that is blatantly discriminatory."

23-year-old Jenna was selected among 65 finalists for 2012 Miss Universe Canada. She, however, was disqualified after organizers found out she had undergone surgery to become a woman. The decision was later reversed, and she is welcomed to compete "provided she meets the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada and the standards established by other international competitions."

During the "20/20" interview, Donald explained about the reversal of the decision. "We looked at the laws of Canada, and we looked at the laws of the United States, and every country is different, but it was obvious to us that she was entitled to compete," he said. He, however, also noted that he wondered if there was an ulterior motive behind the first letters of Jenna's name, "JennaTal".

That isn't the first time Donald made any reference to genital when weighing in on Jenna's controversy. After Gloria said that Jenna "did not ask Mr. Trump to prove that he is a naturally-born man", he told TMZ, "I think Gloria Allred would be very, very, very, very impressed [with my penis]. I think she would have a whole new image of Donald Trump."

Robert Pattinson Can't Handle Uma Thurman's Seduction in First 'Bel Ami' Clip

 Robert Pattinson gets really steamy with Uma Thurman in the first clip for "Bel Ami". Rob's Georges Duroy is sexually teased by the older lady while they discuss the merit of changing Georges' name into something "memorable." The two start to indulge themselves in a heavy kissing session that leads them to bed.

George is a penniless soldier who gains power by seducing the wives of French socialites while traveling through 1890s Paris. Using his wits and power of seduction, he moves from prostitute's embrace to passionate tryst with wealthy beauties who inhabit where sex is power and celebrity is an obsession, and where politics and media jostle for influence.

An adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's classic novel, "Bel Ami" is directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod. The period drama was premiered at the 62nd annual Berlin International Film Festival to somewhat mixed reviews from critics. Last March, the film was officially acquired by Magnolia Pictures, which has set June 8 as the day when the movie hits the U.S. theaters.

Joining Rob and Uma in the cast ensemble are Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, Colm Meaney, Philip Glenister, Holliday Grainger and James Lance.

Kate Winslet Appalled by Her American Accent in 'Titanic'

 Although her portrayal as Rose DeWitt Bukater in "Titanic" landed her multiple nominations and won some as Best Actress, Kate Winslet doesn't think she did a good job for the role. Watching back the movie for its 3-D release, the actress chastises herself as saying, "My American accent is appalling!"

Talking to PEOPLE, the "Mildred Pierce" leading lady continues sharing her thoughts, "Here we are 15 years on, and I've learnt so much more, not just about myself but the job that I do and the world of film, and I look at myself in Titanic and I wish I could bring all this knowledge that I now have into that."

In a separate interview with CNN, she furthermore criticized her accent, "It sounds terribly self indulgent but actors do tend to be very self-critical. I have a hard time watching any of my performances, but watching 'Titanic' I was just like 'Oh God, I want to do that again'." To MTV, she added, "[It] could've been much better. My acting could've been a lot better."

How about her on-screen love interest Leonardo Dicaprio? According to James Cameron, the actor also had a tough time watching it. "We had a good reminisce and, of course, he was guffawing at what a kid he was in the movie. I think he hadn't seen it in a while and seeing it on a big screen, he was literally just snorting into his hands at one point," he opened up.

The British actor even revealed that the Spidey attire is something that was very uncomfortable to wear.

"It's made of something that is designed to make you irritated," Garfield shared while appearing on the Tuesday, March 3 edition of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". He added, "I don't know what the material name is, but that's the description underneath."

Furthermore, the actor who dates his on-screen girlfriend Emma Stone in real life admitted that he actually wore nothing but his birth suit under the superhero getup. "It's just me," he claimed. As Ellen DeGeneres asked if he felt naked, the actor replied, "Yeah. It's the worst."

"One of the first nights we were out in location in downtown L.A. in a parking structure and I knew there were paparazzi taking terrible, unflattering shots of my, you know, everything," he continued. "Knowing that your keister is being shot from many different angles makes you very uncomfortable."

During the chat, Garfield also dished on how he bulked his body up for his role as the web-slinger. He opened up that he worked out "like a literal crazy person" to prepare himself for the role of a lifetime.

"It was a life change," he added. "I get frustrated with those Men's Health magazines. It's like, 'In five minutes you'll be as fit as fiddle if you just follow those three simple steps and only eat cucumbers.' This was hard work. I wouldn't be able to do it without someone."

Garfiled will portray Peter Parker a.k.a Spider-Man in the upcoming Marc Webb-directed superhero movie which is slated for a July 3 release in the U.S. In addition to Stone, he will be joined by Rhys Ifans, Sally Field, Martin Sheen and Denis Leary.

Katy Perry to Get $6.5 Million Marital Home in Russell Brand Split

 Katy Perry will get to keep the house she shared with estranged husband Russell Brand during their marriage as part of their divorce agreement. A quitclaim deed filed by Brand in Los Angeles has been obtained by E!, and it uncovered that the "Arthur" actor has surrendered all rights to their $6.5-million Hollywood Hills mansion.

The exes bought the 3-acre Mediterranean-style property in June 2011. It has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and boasts a swimming pool, a pub, a huge home theater, a study and a guest house. Per the deed, the 36-year-old comedian gave his portion of the house's ownership to the 27-year-old singer for "no monetary consideration."

Perry and Brand got married in October 2010. After 14 months of marriage, Brand filed for divorce in December 2011. While the two reportedly did not sign a prenuptial agreement, the "Rock of Ages" star was said refusing to take money from the "Part of Me" singer.

In February 2012, the pair declared that they "have entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party." Shortly thereafter, a Los Angeles judge finalized their divorce by signing off the judgment. The twosome will be legally single again in July.

Lack of strong script delaying third ‘Munna Bhai’ – Hirani

 Director Rajkumar Hirani, who has delivered superhits like “Munnabhai M.B.B.S.”, “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, says the third film in the series has been delayed by the lack of a strong script.

“We have always wanted to make the third film but it is getting delayed because it shouldn’t look like we are making it only to encash it,” said Hirani.

The third instalment was named “Munna Bhai Chale Amerika”, but it was shelved. Now the new movie in the franchise is said to be called “Munna Bhai Ki Aatma Katha”.

“We want the third to be better than the previous two. So, it is getting delayed because script-wise it still needs to be strong…but we will definitely make the third film,” the 49-year-old said.

He spoke on the sidelines of a festival to celebrate producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s three decades in the film industry.

Hirani confirms that actors Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, who played Munna and Circuit in the earlier two films respectively, will continue playing the primary characters.

“Sanju is Munnabhai, I can’t imagine anybody else as Munnabhai. Sanju and Arshad as Munna, Circuit,” he said.

Sanjay says being a part of “Munna Bhai” changed his life for good.

“From my career, my daily life to my image, everything has changed because of ‘Munna Bhai’, it’s so important,” the 52-year-old said here at the event.

“It is a memorable film, a memorable role. Actors very rarely get a chance to do such a role and I think I am lucky,” he added.

In the 2003 film “Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.”, Sanjay played a faux medical student, who has a different, endearing way of treating people.

In the second film “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, he played a faux professor, and the movie became popular for Sanjay’s ‘Gandhigiri’ — his practice of using non-violent methods to solve people’s personal problems.

Sanjay is currently shooting for “Race 2″, “Zilla Ghaziabad”, “S.O.S.- Son of Sardar” and “Department.”

Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan war of words continues

 Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan don’t seem to be ready to bury the hatchet yet, to go by their comments at two different events Monday.

Business tycoon Mukesh Ambani and his wife Neeta organised a gala event last week to honour Sachin Tendulkar for scoring his 100th ton and invited several Bollywood stars, cricketers and politicians.

From Aamir Khan to Salman to Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai – all big names from the film industry were present, but SRK was conspicuous by his absence.

At the party, praising Sachin, Salman said: “I hope record ye toot jaye…koi na koi isse tod de…main Aamir ka record bahut der se todney ki koshish kar raha hoon…toot hi nahin raha hai…

“Sachin ke record todna mushkil hi nahin namumkin hai…aur ye Don nahin main bol raha hoon. Aur bol bhi sakta hoon kyonki mera father (Salim Khan) ne likhi hai ye picture. Rights toh unhi ke paas ahin. Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) ne ki thi ye picture.”

Reacting to this, Shah Rukh told reporters Monday: “I get numb by the kind of stories I keep hearing about myself. I try not to take them seriously or comment about them.”

SRK was speaking at the unveiling of customer campaign for season five of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Asked about this, Salman explained that his father wrote that line for Amitabh Bachchan and that he has every right to use it.

“Yes, I made the right comments. My father did not take any objection on that,” he told reporters Monday while announcing his association with yatra.com

Chris Hemsworth Discusses How Thor Returns to Earth in 'Avengers'

Chris Hemsworth has opened up about how Thor returns to Earth to save mankind in "The Avengers". The actor, who will reprise his role as the God of Thunder in the superhero ensemble film, revealed that his hammer-wielding character is summoned from Asgard by his father Odin to stop Loki from creating madness on Earth.

"Thor has conveniently come back to Earth briefly because Odin summons dark powers from the universe and it's very costly," said Hemsworth as quoted by Comic Book Movie. "He's come back to retrieve Loki, who's running madness on Earth and causing a lot of chaos. He also has some questions of his own he wants answered like, 'How did this happen and where did I and my brother go wrong?' "

Hemsworth went on discussing what differs his character in "Thor" and that in "Avengers". He explained, "In 'Thor' my character learned a whole lot about humility and gained a new respect for humans because they were able to help him discover who he needed to become in order to earn his powers back."

"I also think he feels very protective of humans now because of his relationship with Jane," so the Australian actor added. "Joining The Avengers team is also tricky because he has a personal investment in that his brother Loki is the one who's causing the chaos and he fears that the others may just want to kill him instead of just stopping him and taking away his powers."

During the chat, Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios' president of production, also dished on Hemsworth's significance in the upcoming movie. He said, "The reason we cast Chris Hemsworth is we didn't want Thor to just be a one dimensional Adonis-like character."

"What makes a character a Marvel character is that you can relate to them and recognize your own flaws and struggles in the character's flaws and struggles," Feige explained. "In 'Thor' the character has to learn the lesson of humility and Chris was able to bring that in a very likeable way, despite the fact that he comes from another world."

Hemsworth will be joined by Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson who will reprise their roles as Captain America, Iron Man, Loki, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Nick Fury respectively. Mark Ruffalo also supports the movie by starring as Bruce Banner a.k.a The Hulk.

Organized by S.H.I.E.L.D., all the famous superheroes must team up to defeat an enemy no single hero could ever withstand. Before opening wide in the U.S. on May 4, the superhero movie is scheduled to close the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival in New York on April 28.
