TUNIS, Tunisia – Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi has gone on state television to say he is assuming power in Tunisia. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Tunisia's president declared a state of emergency Friday and announced that he would fire his government as thousands of protesters mobbed the capital to demand his ouster. Tunisian air space was closed, gunfire rang out in Tunis, and police beat any protesters they could grab. President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was facing his toughest challenge yet in 23 years of repressive rule after weeks of anti-government riots across the North African nation. Protesters thronged the capital, fueled by pent-up anger at high unemployment and at a leadership many see as controlling and corrupt. Marching through the city, they demanded Ben Ali's resignation and some even climbed onto the roof of the Interior Ministry — a symbol of his iron-fiste

Amongst all the Deol films which have released post 'Apne', 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' clearly has the biggest hype of them all. The film should finally break the bad patch that Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol have been going through for years now. Still, there is a little regret though. Though quantitatively the promotion of the film is all over, qualitatively it isn't enjoying similar attention as the first theatrical promo did. Beyond that promo, rest of the song, dance and dialogues routine isn't as impressive. This is what would be the differentiating factor between a good and a very good start though it would be surprising if the film opens lesser than 60%-70% range. One thing is for sure though that the film would have a better start in single screen theaters, and that too primarily in interiors, when compared to multiplexes. However, since the release is supposed to be massive, the opening numbers should turn out to be good. 'Turning 30!!!

Tension prevailed near Karthi’s house in Chennai on Wednesday as hundreds staged an agitation protesting his role of a pickpocket named Rocket Raja in his forthcoming film ‘Siruthai’. The agitators alleged that Rocket Raja is the name of a leader belonging to a caste outfit and naming the character after their leader was an attempt to defame him. They carried placards and raised slogans against Karthi. They demanded that objectionable dialogues, if any, be removed from the movie and that the name of the character be changed. Following this, they were taken into custody by the police and security was tightened at Krishna Street in T Nagar, where Karthi resides. Produced by Studio Green and directed by Siva, ‘Siruthai’ is a remake of Telugu blockbuster ‘Vikramarkudu’. The actor is playing a dual role for the first time, that of a petty thief and a police officer.

About the much-discussed patch up with Shah Rukh Khan, Farah says shyly, "We hugged at the awards function. When I went backstage for my media bytes his van was parked right there. His spot boy saw me and opened his van's door. So naturally I just popped my head in." Even earlier at another awards function last week Shah Rukh had invited Farah to meet her backstage. "That time I couldn't. This time I did," says Farah. At the same awards function Farah took her renewed friendship with Sanjay Leela Bhansali (SLB) to another level. They had fallen out during the Friday feud over Saawariya and Om Shanti Om . But had begun the process of reconciliation last year. At the awards function on Tuesday, SLB and Farah got a chance to bond under very peculiar circumstances. They were both stranded on stage waiting for their awards when, like two shipwrecked soldiers deserted on an island, SLB and Farah struck up a muffled conversation. Laughs Fara
