"But even then there are many juicy revelations that will never see the light of day because we simply don't have the time to show them. "Put it this way,

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is a poet too

London, July 11 (ANI): There's more to Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's creative aspects than just acting, the teenage heartthrob is also a published poet, it has emerged. Four poems written by the 19-year-old actor have been published in an underground fashion magazine, under the pen name Jacob Gershon.

It's the kind of thing I look back on and just think, 'Ahhh!'" the Telegraph quoted Radcliffe as saying.

Subhash K. Jha speaks about Short Kut - The Con Is On

Image
Short Kut - The Con Is On was not a bad film to begin with. It was probably a terrific idea for a comedy of misguided zeal. A hammy actor Arshad Warsi who steals a struggling scriptwriter Akshaye Khanna's zabardast plot and becomes a superstar. Wah kya brat hai ! So what we looking at here, finally? A tacky takeaway pizza with the toppings toppling over the edge into ambit of the abysmal . In the absence of motivated mirth, the comedy just plunges out of control navigated, as it is, entirely by the considerable comic capabilities of Arshad Warsi. Warsi plays that nightmare of every entertainment industry. A....gulp , choke, splutter.... Ham!! Hamming doesn't come naturally to Warsi. He can go effortlessly over the top. Here he must put a strain and a groan into what he does effortlessly. Not an easy thing to do, when everything in the film works against you, including the direction which seems to be done over the monitor without any outward or inward sign of any monitoring a

Russell Brand 'politely' refuses Lindsay Lohan's advances

English comedian Russell Brand is said to have politely refused the advances made on him by 'Mean Girls' star Lindsay Lohan.
