Saif Ali Khan, Abhay Deol in battle of the zombies
The fascination of Indian audiences with ghosts, spectres and ghouls will now be extended to zombies as two zom-coms -- Saif Ali Khan-produced "Go Goa Gone" and Abhay Deol-starrer "Shaadi of the Dead" -- are set to go on floor at the same time.
"Shor in the City" co-directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K.'s "Go Goa Gone" is about a bunch of youngsters out to have fun who get assailed by zombies while "Manorama 6 Feet Under" director Navdeep Singh's 'Shaadi..." is about an attack by zombies while a Punjabi wedding is on.
Both the projects take a lighter look at the cult of zombies.
Interestingly, both the projects want to get on with their respective zombie films on the floor immediately. Each one wants to be the first zombie film to hit the screens.
While Kunal Khemu, who plays the lead in "Go Goa Gone" feigns ignorance of the other project, "Shaadi..." producer Sid Jain says he's aware of the other project.
"More films will help widen the genre, so I'm happy someone else is attempting a zombie film. But I plan to make a series of zombie flicks. In fact, even before "Shaadi..." goes on the floors, we have planned the sequel 'Honeymoon Of The Dead'," he said.

“Remember this weekend the 405 Fwy is gonna be closed between the San Fernando Valley and the West Side!!” Fox News quoted Kardashian as tweeting on Friday.
The mistake is that the closure is in two weeks.
So the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star tried to correct her mistake, by tweeting: “Remember next weekend the 405 Fwy is gonna be closed between the San Fernando Valley and the West Side!!”
She got it wrong again.
Later Kardashian erased both initial Twitter messages and finally got it right: “Stay away from the 405 Fwy the weekend of July 16 and 17, it will be closed btwn the 10 Fwy and 101 Fwy North and South!”
The L.A.P.D. has also asked Lady Gaga, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore to tweet about the closure, being called “Carmageddon” in Los Angeles.

Being beauty queen is about having character: Sushmita Sen
"When I say character, I mean that a lot of women who come are very beautiful but some of them can do anything to achieve what they want. Such girls don't belong to I Am She," Sushmita told IANS in an interview.
The Wadhawan Lifestyle I Am She contest has been choosing India's official entry for the Miss Universe contest since last year. For 2010, Ushoshi Sengupta was the chosen one but couldn't win the title. Earlier, Femina Miss India title holders participated in the pageant.
This year, 20 candidates have been shortlisted. Before the names are finalised, Sushmita said, "We speak to them, we do background checking".
Sushmita, who became the first Indian woman to win the Miss Universe crown in 1994, added: "We don't send a girl to Miss Universe (competition) if we haven't done a proper background check because we don't want the girl to get disqualified on any grounds.
"The cases of women being married and not showing they are married or any other problem are on the rise. Being an international winner is about having character. You can be very beautiful, very tall, fit the bill in every aspect, but if you don't have a character, then there is a lesser chance of you getting selected."
Sushmita, 35, said candidates were learning and getting better.
"The whole idea of the franchise is to pick out from the global audience what it is that India needs to spruce up to win. If we continue to have support of our sponsors, the awareness will grow faster because it is not a free job - creating awareness is an expensive proposition, which we started last year," she said.
Next year, Sushmita plans to give extra global exposure to the finalists by taking them abroad for grooming sessions.
"Next year onwards a new chapter begins - the host countries will change. Only the main show will be held in India. The girls will be groomed in other countries. This way they will get basic international exposure even before going to the Miss Universe platform... it will help them not to get off balance when they reach the main pageant."
In 2000, Lara Dutta became the second Indian to win the prestigious title, but there has been no winner after that.
Asked why, Sushmita, who has acted in films like "Biwi No.1", "Main Hoon Na" and "Filhaal", said simply: "Awareness."
"Properties of cricket as a sport worked because they are sponsor-driven. The awareness is huge. My five-year plan is not only to win the Miss Universe for India again but also to create the kind of awareness where state-wise people cheer for their girl and once she becomes I AM She's Miss India, people cheer for the country. We need to start taking these girls seriously," she said.

Heroine script to be modified for pregnant Aishwarya Rai?
Close on the heels of the announcement that Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is pregnant, director Madhur Bhandarkar is now allegedly preparing to tone down the script of his upcoming movie ‘Heroine’. Ash has already started shooting as the main lead in the movie, and as her due date is somewhere in November 2011, the movie needs to be wrapped up soon.
While the ‘Raavan’ actress is determined to complete the project despite her pregnancy, the director is worried about the health of the actress. Some of the sources from the production unit have said that the movie involves a lot of emotional scenes and intense moments which could be harmful to Ash.
The director has opined that the heavy emotions and intense moments might affect the health of the actress in such a situation. Bhandarkar is now trying to make changes in the script of the movie in order to tone down the scenes bit.
Moreover, Ash is also supposed to do many intimate scenes, which the actress will not be refraining from. Earlier, the project was offered to Kareena Kapoor who had chickened out due to the intimate and intense scenes in the movie. The unit is now trying their best to finish the shooting of the movie before Aishwarya’s pregnancy becomes visible. The makers are just trying their best that the complexities and the dark drama of the movie does not affect Ash’s health.

Vidya Balan to play ‘Daayan’ in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next
Bollywood actress Vidya Balan will now be cast in the upcoming movie ‘Daayan’ which will be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. The director opted for Vidya despite ditching the actress for the sequel of the hit movie ‘Ishqiya’.
Vidya’s absence in the movie had shocked the industry as well as the actress. The ‘Hey Baby’ actress had received several appreciations for the movie, but was unfortunately not retained for the sequel.
Sources from the production unit had said that earlier actress Rani Mukherji was approached for the role, but had rejected the offer when she learnt that Emraan Hashmi was to play the lead role.
‘Daayan’ is a project which will be jointly made by Vishal and Ekta Kapoor. The makers are currently finalizing the cast of the movie. The story of the movie is about a man played by Emraan, who is in a relationship with three women and one of them is a witch (Daayan). This makes it obvious that the female role of the movie would indeed be challenging for the actress. Vidya and Bhardwaj had a long discussion over the script of the movie and the actress had reportedly loved it and is keen on doing the role. Vidya has loved the role but the problem of dates between the makers and the actress persists.

"There was so much money, but finding the right fit for me," Talbot said in an interview with TSN, like Jagr, also said that his heart was in Pittsburgh.
Talbot had a strong presence in the locker room getting Pittsburgh tough guy Marc-Andre Fleury (Notes) and Sidney Crosby (Notes), and forever known as a hero of the game in July 2009 Stanley Cup finals goal against the Penguins and Detroit Red Wings.
"I thought that I would never play for another team in my life [that] last year," said Talbot.

Strauss-Kahn free from house arrest; charges stand
Former IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released without bail court Friday, freed from house arrest after prosecutors acknowledged that serious doubts about the credibility of the hotel housekeeper who accused him of sexual assault .
The charges include attempted rape, was not abandoned, but a relaxation of his conditions of bail reported that prosecutors do not believe the charges are bulletproof as they once were.
"It'sa great relief," said Strauss-Kahn Attorney, William Taylor. "It is very important in this country that people, especially the media to refrain from judgments until the facts are all in"
After his arrest, Mr. Strauss-Kahn, 62, resigned as leader of the IMF and saw their presidential ambitions in France seems to crumble. Who had been confined for a week for a luxury loft in New York with $ 6 million in cash and bonds.
32 years, hotel maid accused of Strauss-Kahn, chasing him through his luxury suite in May to try to make her pantyhose and forced her to perform oral sex. The authorities said they have forensic evidence of sexual encounter, but defense lawyers have said he was not forced.
The tour takes in the case of the woman came after prosecutors admitted that he had a history of being raped and beaten in her home country, Guinea to improve its asylum policy, prosecutors said in a letter to defense lawyers.
She also misrepresented what he did after the alleged assault - instead of running into a hallway and waiting for a supervisor, went to another room cleaned and then returned to clean up after Strauss-Kahn before telling your supervisor was attacked, prosecutors said.
He also misrepresented his income and said the child to another person as his own tax burden, they said.
Talk about the details of the credibility of the maid, and if his story stood up and accused oath, that rely heavily on his testimony.
Woman's lawyer, Ken Thompson, blow back of the court, the district attorney's office said it was withdrawing from the case because he was too scared to pursue it. He said he would come out publicly to tell stories, but did not specify when.
Thompson said the woman went to the prosecutor of the information that his asylum application was flawed, but it was exaggerated, because she was afraid she would be returned to Guinea. He says she came to America because she was a victim of female circumcision, and she worries for her daughter, now 15, would also be victims. He also said that she was raped by soldiers, but the attack did not occur as it was written in her application for asylum.
Thompson said that Strauss-Kahn battered woman's genitals, he tore a ligament in his shoulder and tore down and struggled to escape.
Investigators said they found traces of his sperm on his uniform.
"From day one, she described a violent sexual assault that Dominique Strauss-Kahn has committed against him," said Thompson. "She described repeated sexual abuse that prosecutors and for me, and never changed after a single thing about the meeting. "
Thompson also said that press reports saying his client was involved in a drug dealer is located.
The New York Times, citing unidentified law implementation officer, said the woman was saved on the phone with a man locked in the day, she made the allegations, if the press to discuss his case in court.
The newspaper said the man was arrested for possession of marijuana charges and had deposited cash in the bank account of the woman.
"Clearly this woman has made some mistakes, but that does not mean that there is a rape victim," said Thompson.
Strauss-Kahn came to court Friday morning in a Lexus SUV and walked with confidence granite steps with his wife, French journalist Anne Sinclair, at his side.
Following this consultation, has slowly abandoned the palace, his hand on his shoulder, smiling crowd gathered outside.
It was not returned his passport and he will still not be allowed to leave the country. His other lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said Mr. Strauss-Kahn would be free to travel to the U.S.
Prosecutors offered few details on the turn in the process. Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said further investigation led them forward.
"At the time this case came to the district attorney's office, we faced a credible allegation of sexual assault," she said, noting that prosecutors had immediately reported the alleged assault and had a "history of strong work."
Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus, the release of Strauss-Kahn said he would not rush to judge either way.
Illuzzi-Orbon said: "Although it is clear that the strength of the case has contributed significantly to the credibility questions about the complaint, we will move to distinguish the case at this time."
If the case falls apart, it could again shake up the race for the French presidency. Strauss-Kahn, a prominent socialist, was seen as a potential rival conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy, the leader in next year's elections - to the charges in New York, ashamed of his party and led to his resignation IMF.
"Those who know the Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is not surprised by this trend of events", one of his French lawyer, Leon Forster, LEF, told The Associated Press in Paris. "What has been accused of any relationship with his personality. It 'was something that was not credible."
New doubts about the accuser of Strauss-Kahn also revive speculation about a plot against Strauss-Kahn to disrupt his presidential possibilities. A few days after his arrest, according to a survey suggested that most of the French think Strauss-Kahn, who has always had a reputation as a womanizer and was dubbed "the great seducer," was the victim of a conspiracy.
Strauss-Kahn, was detained without bail for nearly a week after his arrest in May. His lawyers finally persuaded a judge to release him to accept everything - the conditions, including an ankle monitor, surveillance cameras and armed guards - and expensive. He was only allowed to leave the court, the weekly religious services and visits to doctors and lawyers.
Security measures have been estimated at $ 200 000 cost him a month, on top of the $ 50,000 a month to rent the town house in the neighborhood of the city of TriBeCa.
New York law, the judges' decisions based on factors such as guarantees on the character of the defendant, financial and criminal background, and the strength of the case - all designed to help assess the likelihood that a person has to flee if released.
Strauss-Kahn, is scheduled to return to court July 18.
The charges include attempted rape, was not abandoned, but a relaxation of his conditions of bail reported that prosecutors do not believe the charges are bulletproof as they once were.

"At the time this case came to the district attorney's office, we faced a credible allegation of sexual assault," she said, noting that prosecutors had immediately reported the alleged assault and had a "history of strong work."
Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus, the release of Strauss-Kahn said he would not rush to judge either way.
Illuzzi-Orbon said: "Although it is clear that the strength of the case has contributed significantly to the credibility questions about the complaint, we will move to distinguish the case at this time."
If the case falls apart, it could again shake up the race for the French presidency. Strauss-Kahn, a prominent socialist, was seen as a potential rival conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy, the leader in next year's elections - to the charges in New York, ashamed of his party and led to his resignation IMF.
"Those who know the Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is not surprised by this trend of events", one of his French lawyer, Leon Forster, LEF, told The Associated Press in Paris. "What has been accused of any relationship with his personality. It 'was something that was not credible."
New doubts about the accuser of Strauss-Kahn also revive speculation about a plot against Strauss-Kahn to disrupt his presidential possibilities. A few days after his arrest, according to a survey suggested that most of the French think Strauss-Kahn, who has always had a reputation as a womanizer and was dubbed "the great seducer," was the victim of a conspiracy.
Strauss-Kahn, was detained without bail for nearly a week after his arrest in May. His lawyers finally persuaded a judge to release him to accept everything - the conditions, including an ankle monitor, surveillance cameras and armed guards - and expensive. He was only allowed to leave the court, the weekly religious services and visits to doctors and lawyers.
Security measures have been estimated at $ 200 000 cost him a month, on top of the $ 50,000 a month to rent the town house in the neighborhood of the city of TriBeCa.
New York law, the judges' decisions based on factors such as guarantees on the character of the defendant, financial and criminal background, and the strength of the case - all designed to help assess the likelihood that a person has to flee if released.
Strauss-Kahn, is scheduled to return to court July 18.
The best tea I've ever tasted, without sugar.
I met Mann, again, awhile ago for High Tea. It was my first time and I'm a real sucka for tea. Apparently, I don't drink coffee. I remembered dunking on loads of coffee when I was 15 till 16. After I left secondary school, I just stopped. 'Arteastiq' is located inside Meritus Madarin Gallery Mall, Level 4. The ambience was so relaxing.. I felt like as though no one was rushing for time.
I absolutely love the presentation of the tea that was served to me. Mann ordered Lychee Tea and I ordered Pear Tea. A set of Pear Tea was SGD$11. As you can see in the picture below, it comes with a cup, what it seems to me that looks like an experimental glass pot if we wanna re-fill the drinks in our cup, choosing between waffle biscuits or dark chocolate bars and a shot of sugar rush. I ordered an additional cake called 'Adam' which is actually an apple cake. Side-track: I have no idea what's the relation between an 'Adam' and apple cake. But, oh wells. *giggles* The apple cake was SGD$8.50. Mann is a hardcore tea lover, just like me! But she win me already.. She manage to gulp down 2 rounds of her Lychee Tea!
My fiance knows me best. I'm a tortoise eater. I love and enjoy conversations in between my meal. I will take my own sweet time to eat and finish up my food/drinks. I will have an uneasy stomach if I were to consume too fast. Oh, back to the Pear Tea... It was delicious! Yes.. They take some time to prepare your order because they brew it fresh! I didn't know what to order and I wanted to try lemongrass but the word 'lemon' made me hated the drink even before I could taste it. So, I ordered Pear Tea, which was stated as a 'Must Try' tea in the menu. It turned out to be so heavenly.. In addition to that, I love the fact that the Pear Tea is sugar-free tasty! I didn't pour in the shot of sugar rush and I could taste the pear flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. It was my thirst quencher for the day and I really loved it!
The Pear Tea tasted super duper good in its own!
Of course, if you're interested to check out the place, chill, hang out till late, etc. You might wanna check out this place out! Thanks to Mann for arranging the reservation and all...
Mann was so sweet! She got me a hand cream. It was so unexpected, I had no presents for her!
Thank you so much, Mann!

Dust of the Damned by Peter BrandvoldOn sale January 3, 2012
A novel about werewolves, ghouls, and cowboys, all fighting for their piece of the
American frontier.
The Hell’s Angels are a gang of werewolves who have escaped from Hellsgarde Federal Penitentiary. They were the ones who tore the Confederates into submission at Gettysburg for Lincoln, thus ending the Civil War. Now they’ve headed West—to join the legions of other ghouls…
Armed with an arsenal of weapons, the deadliest being Marshal Angel Coffin, notorious ghoulhunter Uriah Zane must stop the hordes of shapeshifting creatures pushing west. Together, Zane and Coffin must stop the werebeasts from attaining final dominion over the earth—with humans as their servants...
Normally I don't seek out - well, ANY of these kinds of novels individually (cowboy novels, urban fantasy type novels, alternate history novels) - and yet, combine them together and color me intrigued.
The Shape of Desire by Sharon ShinnOn sale April 3, 2012
From national bestselling author Sharon Shinn—an original contemporary fantasy in which love and loyalty are tested at every turn.
For fifteen years Maria Devane has been desperately, passionately in love with Dante Romano. But despite loving him with all of her heart and soul, Maria knows that Dante can never give all of himself back—at least not all the time. Every month, Dante shifts shape, becoming a wild animal, and leaving Maria alone. Since the beginning, she has kept his secret, knowing that their love is worth the danger. But when a string of brutal attacks occur in local parks during the times when Dante is in animal form, Maria is forced to consider whether the lies she’s been telling about her life have become lies she’s also telling herself…
I don't need to read past the author's name Sharon Shinn to know I'll be picking this one up, and even with what might be a more urban fantasy setting, I'm still in.
