Rs 300 crore riding on Shahrukh Khan....

 
After Bollywood Flicks like Kites and Raavan, which were high on star quotient, failed to do well at the expectant box office this year, all eyes are now on Bollywood’s King Shahrukh Khan. According to Bollywood critics, A whopping amount of Rs 300 crore is riding on his shoulders! The buzz in the trade is that Reliance Big Pictures has bought the rights.
A leading distributor says, “Shah Rukh rocks. He is still one of the top three stars in this country. His film guarantees good returns. Yes, Reliance Big Pictures has bought Don 2 for an amount which is definitely more than Rs 100 crore. But I think that Shah Rukh’s deal with Eros International on Ra.One could be a funding proposal, which implies that Shah Rukh can still sell the film to other buyers.”
Phew! That’s a lot of money riding on one single man, imagine the pressure!

Cameron Diaz and A-Rod on a LOVE BOAT...!!!

 Apparently Cameron Diaz and A-Rod aren’t taking a break after all!
The two spent yesterday afternoon lounging on a boat in Biscayne Bay in Miami.
It looks like they were having some deep and intimate conversations! We wonder what they were talking about…

Former bad girl has QUITE the history with The Law...!

Good lord! This girl has gone and really EFFED herself!

Former Bad Girls Club castmember Catya Washington is in big trouble following her November arrest for gun and drug posession charges, and has been stuck behind bars since that day because she could not afford her $500,000 bail!
However, she has since managed to come up with the funds and was released yesterday, but now she's already chosen to waive her right to a preliminary hearing, and will be due in court on December 13th.
On top of THAT, she has ANOTHER preliminary hearing that she plans to attend scheduled the following day, December 14th, regarding previous offenses that include charges of aggravated assault, robbery, conspiracy, theft and related counts!
And if that's not enough, she is expected in community court in April for a summary trial related to a fighting charge she received in July!
ClASSy with a capital C, indeed!
We imagine that we won't be seeing that one on any more reality TV for quiiite some time!
Actions have consequences, bb! And you seem to be consistently failing to keep that in mind!

NYPD wants you too, Charlie!

We previously reported that New York City detectives were looking to question Denise Richards about the events that occurred at The Plaza Hotel last month, but authorities have contacted Charlie Sheen's rep to interview him as well.
Charlie's lawyer, Yale Galanter, will not say whether Charlie is available to be interviewed. All he said that that detectives reached out to the TV star's manager, Mark Burg.
Galanter will be speaking with authories again after Thanksgiving and will then determine whether he, Charlie, or both will fly to NYC for an interview.

Jake Gyllenhaal will swim with walruses...!!!

What a cool guy!
Jake Gyllenhaal has decided to celebrate his 30th birthday by swimming with walruses in the arctic circle!
Jake said that he decided to do this because he wanted to do something completely different…also that it terrified him! Aww!
"The only reason I'm doing it is I wanted to do something that absolutely terrified me - killer whales and walruses and freezing cold water? That seems absolutely terrifying."
Wow! Sounds exciting!
Jake will not be leaving his twenties behind until December 19th, but he says that he is excited to start this new decade of his life!
Happy Birthday bb! We are sure it will be great!

That many people bought Bush's book?

Wow!
George W. Bush has reportedly sold more than 1.1 million copies of his memoir, Decision Points, 135,000 of which were e-books!
Stranger things -like the popularity of sparkling vampires - have happened, we guess.

Guess Who's Thinking About Moving To El Lay?!

Thank the heavens! Let the invasion begin!
It looks as though The Situation may not be the only Jersey Shore castmember relocating permanently on the West Side, because multiple sources are confirming that both JWoww and our most beloved Snooki Snickers are separately considering taking on El Lay full-time!
According to insiders, JWoww has received "lots of offers for modeling contracts and endorsements" based in the city of angels, and is currently on the hunt for an apartment so she can further pursue her options!
Meanwhile, friends close to Snooks allege that the guidette also thinks it's time to leave the east coast behind!
They reveal:

"We were talking at her birthday party, and she said she just thought Los Angeles was a more mellow, cool place to live. She obviously loves home, but she feels California would be better because of the people. She's kind of ready to get away New Jersey and make a change."

It's like a two-for-one deal!
We'd love our gurls out here on a permanent basis! The West Coast wants you, bbs!

THG Presents: The 10 Biggest Turkeys of 2010

Happy Thanksgiving to all from The Hollywood Gossip!
What would this holiday be without family, food, football and reflection upon the things we appreciate most ... in the case of THG, that means some of the bird-brained celebs we've had the privilege of covering in the past year.
Without further ado, THG's Top 10 Turkeys of '10 ...

We may rename this the Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award.

10. Barack Obama. The good will and immense popularity enjoyed by the President at the start of his White House term eroded fast, leaving in its wake a deeply polarized electorate and a Congress destined for partisan gridlock.

9. Jake Pavelka. Lame stints on The Bachelorette, The Bachelor and DWTS were enough to overcook this turkey, but his televised breakup special with fake fiancee Vienna Girardi was the year's reality TV douchepocalypse.
8. The Kardashians. Sure, they're harmless, but there's so darn many of these girls. Mix in a hearty helping of Scott Disick and we're just burned out.
7. LeBron James. The NBA's best player, who has never won a title, made this summer all about him and his decision on where to play next year. A "decision" that marked the most absurd, narcissistic, self-serving stunts in sports history.
6. Spencer Pratt. He's fallen off from 2008's Top Turkey status, but he's got staying power. Faking a divorce, getting married for a third time in as many years, blowing through $10 million and turning into a mountain man? Impressive.
5. Dancing With the Stars voters. Bristol Palin? Seriously people?
4. Lindsay Lohan. The definition of train wreck. Second only to ...
3. Charlie Sheen. His violent altercation with wife Brooke Mueller last Christmas combined with Capri Anderson dalliances this fall? Quite a year for Charlie.
2. Mel Gibson. Why? Just listen to his rants. Wow.
1. Tiger Woods. Today, or more accurately early tomorrow morning, is the anniversary of Tiger's car (and image) crash, following a blowout with Elin Nordegren, who learned of his affair with Rachel Uchitel and took a 9-iron to his face.
The months that followed revealed additional mistresses, worried voicemails, nasty text messages, sordid fantasies, ridiculous rumors and bad golf. It's a scandal that may never be equaled, and certainly worthy of Top Turkey billing.

If nothing else ... Tiger Woods' Thanksgiving can't be worse than last year's.

Michael Lohan: Lindsay Wasn't Fired, She Quit!

Michael Lohan is slamming the director of Inferno, Matthew Wilder, for lying about firing Lindsay from the lead role in his upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.
Celebuzz talked to Michael who claims that, in no uncertain terms, "Lindsay left Inferno. Wilder can shove it up his butt. She didn't want to do that movie."
"He's full of it. He was trying to ride our coattails."

ADVENTURES OF MILO: Today's task? Defend daughter's name!

Lindsay Lohan's highly-anticipated lead role in Inferno had been in limbo after failing drug tests, spending a few weeks in jail and landing in rehab indefinitely.
This caused shooting to be delayed, at which point Wilder said he let Lohan go and replaced her with Malin Akerman. It made sense ... but MiLo's crying foul.
"She doesn't need to do a movie like that," Michael Lohan said. "Give me a break. What a great thing to do for a girl that's going through recovery."
"Put her in a position to act in a position where she's a drug addict. Real genius, and he cares, right? Come on. Biggest hypocrite on the planet."
"If he wants to say he fired my daughter, let him say to to my face."
Your move, Wilder.

Ke$ha Ain't Going Nowhere!

She doesn't have the best singing voice around - as evidenced by this AMA performance - but Ke$ha has a message for critics in the latest issue of Complex: She ain't going nowhere!
And while she's sticking around the music business, she might as well do so on roller skates...

In an interview with Complex, Ke$ha touches on everything from being turned on by pocket change to being compared to Lady Gaga. Read a few excerpts below:

What turns you on that people would find bizarre?
A bag full of quarters.

Is there a specific type of beard that you're into?
I like the rugged, mountain-man beard, personally. I won't discriminate, but my favorite kind of beard is one that could potentially be a homeless beard. Like, you actually have to discover if they're un-groomed for a reason. I like a really unkempt beard.

Are you tired of the comparisons people draw between you, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry?
I actually think that's cool. Out of that group of chicks, I'm the new bitch on the block, so I'm still getting used to being compared to some of the biggest pop stars in the world, but I don't take any offense to it. That just means people know my records.

 

Rihanna Wants (Male) Kids With Matt Kemp

Is Rihanna ready to settle down?
In the December issue of Interview, Kanye West interviews the singer, who is much happier these days, and hints that motherhood may be on the horizon.
"It could be a year from now," she said. Seriously?

MOTHER-TO-BE: Rihanna is, just not anytime soon ... probably.

Of course, "It could be 10 years from now. Whenever is right, I don't really plan the age," Rihanna tells the magazine. "I mean, I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I think about kids. Whenever the time is right, I'll just know."
This much is certain: the pop star has found a great match in L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp in January, and wants an all-male household with him.
"If I had a girl, she'd probably be really rebellious," the singer laughs, alluding to her Good Girl Gone Bad ways. "She would be like a bundle of karma."
As for where she would raise her brood, Rihanna says she "would love to bring them up in Barbados," though her job may prevent that from happening.
"I can't live that far away from everything now, without kids," she explains. "I certainly couldn't raise kids and [have a career] with the schedule I have."
She's 22, fortunately, so she's got time.

Amber Portwood's Baby Now Indiana's Problem

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood's daughter is now a ward of the state of Indiana, meaning her guardianship is determined by a judge and government agency.
It's the latest, most dramatic development yet in the ongoing saga of the MTV star, whose troubled, often violent life has played out on the popular MTV show.
Portwood and former fiance Gary Shirley appeared in an Anderson, Ind., courtroom Tuesday for an emergency child placement hearing concerning Leah.

It's official. Indiana has wrested control of Leah from Amber.

As the Department of Child Services assesses Leah's living situation, Leah, 2, remains under the state's control, even though she is staying with Shirley.
The Indiana Department of Child Services also supervised Amber Portwood's most recent visit with Leah at Gary's house, taking place Tuesday after court.
Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley declined to comment outside court.
Gary and Amber, whose violent altercations (which are basically one-sided, with him taking the pounding) appeared extremely friendly toward each other.
DCS will monitor Amber's progress in the wake of her felony battery charges, and determine if Gary's home is suitable for Leah to remain in permanently.
DCS has been probing Leah's living situation at Shirley's house and asked for changes that Shirley will comply with, one source close to the matter said.
Under Indiana law, if a child is found to be a "child in need of services" (CHINS) the child then becomes a ward of the state, which happened in this case.
Portwood gave Leah to Shirley recently, believing the toddler would be better off with him right now, given the demons she's battling. It was for the best.
Hopefully Clinton Yunker is there to comfort her in this tough time.

Michael Brea: Charged with Gruesome Murder

Michael Brea has officially been charged with as gruesome a crime as one can commit.
The small-time actor was discovered inside his Brooklyn apartment yesterday morning, covered in blood, clutching a bible and standing near the bathroom where police found his 55-year old mother's dead body. Reports indicate Yannick Brea had severe cuts on her head, countering sources who originally claimed she was decapitated.
Police had to subdue Michael with a taser.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told The Associated Press that officers found the 31-year old actor - who appeared in Step-Up 3D - "in a bedroom... with a 3-foot sword."

After undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at a Brooklyn hospital, Brea was arrested on charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

UPDATE: Neighbors tell The New York Daily News they heard Brea screaming at his mother "Sinner! Sinner! You never accepted Jesus!" around the time of the alleged attack.

Kate Gosselin Now Home-Schooling Troubled Kids

Jon and Kate Gosselin's troubled kids Collin and Alexis are reportedly "doing a lot better" since their surprising, recent expulsion from private school.
The six-year-olds were booted out of their Pennsylvania school and are currently being home-schooled by their famous (and controversial) mom.
Kate was forced to take over after Collin and Alexis' rage issues, including incidents of violence and bullying, continued to spiral out of control.

BEFORE THE RAGE: Collin and Alexis is simpler times.

The expulsion was a wake-up call for Kate, who is working to get their behavioral issues under control and providea more structured environment at home.
"The two kids are doing a lot better. It seems like they are happier now that they are receiving more attention to meet their needs," a source told Radar.
"Both Collin and Alexis are happy they are enjoying spending more time with their mother and also with (their dog) Shoka now that he has returned."
Kate and Jon Gosselin are on the same page when it comes to Collin and Alexis' structure for schoolwork and are directly addressing behavioral issues.
Jon and Kate hope that the troubled pair can even return to the same school next year to rejoin their brothers and sisters if things keep improving.
The kids' issues sparked fresh criticism over whether living their lives on TLC TV shows is hurting their development and causing behavioral woes.
Jon certainly believes it does, pleading with Kate to end it.
TLC and Kate have no such intentions of pulling the plug.
They're putting their differences aside now, though: "Jon and Kate are working to share time with the kids at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's."

Lily Allen: Engaged to Sam Cooper?

Is Lily Allen engaged to her boyfriend, Sam Cooper?
That's the rumor going around, just weeks after tragically losing her baby six months into her pregnancy. Now magazine claims Cooper popped the question.
A friend of Allen's told the publication: "Everyone's so proud of Lily. She's made a list of how to get through what can only be described as a horrible tragedy."

Engaged or not, Lily Allen and Sam Cooper sure are happy.

"This is the most awful situation in the world and she's aware that nothing can take away the hurt she feels at losing her and Sam's baby."
"Last week, Sam told Lily he can't live without her and wants to go ahead with the wedding plans. This has given her a major boost."
So are they getting married or not?
Allen, who was also admitted to the hospital with a blood condition shortly after losing her first child, has said that she needs "time to heal."
"He's been very supportive but he's hurting like hell as too, so they had a long heart-to-heart and have planned a holiday somewhere quiet."
They added: "Lily's a fighter and says if she can get through this, she can get through anything." So basically, we have no clue if she is.
Either way, we wish the singer the best.

Kat Von D Loses Cat, Home in Fire

Kat Von D's life just went up in smoke.
The outspoken tattoo artist is mourning the loss of her cat Valentine, whom she lost in a house fire. "R.I.P. my little Valentine," she tweeted Sunday.
That's so sad, not to mention scary. The L.A. Fire department was called and arrived at 11:23 p.m. Sunday to battle what was a very strong blaze.

The cause of Kat Von D's house fire is still under investigation.

"Fire fighters encountered heavy fire with extreme smoke but they were able to knock down the fire," the captain said. "There was no one home."
"My house burned down last night with my cat inside," Von D, who has been dating Jesse James since August, explained early Monday morning.
"Finally get to sleep away the rest of today. Hope tomorrow is gentler," the L.A. Ink star said. "To gain everything, you must lose everything."
Good to see she's staying strong through this.

Angelina Jolie Will NOT Celebrate Thanksgiving!

Millions will delight in Thanksgiving festivities tomorrow. Angelina Jolie is not one of them, electing not to commemorate the genocide of Native Americans.
"Angelina Jolie absolutely hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans," a friend of the actress tells PopEater.
Valid point, but pumpkin pie just tastes so good ...

NO THANKS-GIVING: Angelina Jolie is not a fan!

"To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style," the friend says. "[Jolie] doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder."
Not sure how many of us toast to murder at the dinner table on this day, but she prefers to think of herself as a citizen of the world, not just America.
Always extremely sensitive to suffering throughout the world, she's going to great lengths to make sure the Jolie-Pitt brood doesn't honor it here.
"Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday," an insider reports.
While Brad Pitt recently told Extra, "We'll whip up a turkey somewhere," a family friend tells me, "If Brad wants turkey, he'll have to cook it himself."
Well, that would likely be the case whether they observe the day or not. Dude is so annoying when he eats, you know she makes him do the work.

Willow Palin Lambasts Media, Praises Bristol

Willow Palin is not happy with the media. Must run in the family.
A week after her big sister, Bristol Palin, apologized for Willow's use of a gay slur on Facebook, the 16-year-old spawn of Sarah is sounding off solo.
In a statement to E!, Willow goes off on Facebook haters, scandalous "lies" in Life & Style and Bristol's run to the Dancing With the Stars finale.

Bristol, Sarah, Trig and Willow Palin with He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.

"Today I am focusing on a special event - Bristol and Mark [Ballas]'s appearance in the Dancing With the Stars finals. Nothing will take away how proud we are of Bristol and her grit and determination that got her this far," says Willow Palin.
Then her attention turned to the "ridiculous" reports, namely a Life & Style story painting the wild child as a crazy, vodka-chugging drug dealer.
"It is disappointing to see people claim they know me to sell stories," she said.
"As for people accusing me of being at a party over a year ago, the accusations are ridiculous. The same people saying this were also the ones attacking my family on Facebook. Unfortunately some people have learned that there are publications that will pay money for stories, no matter how misleading."
"Nevertheless, I recognize that my family has been given a great honor and privilege to make a difference in this country, and even though I am just 16, more is expected of me," she continues. "That being said, I say this to Bristol and Mark (with a hat tip to Lady Gaga) - Just Dance!"
Awwww.
Notice she left out the bit about slinging dope in a Target parking lot. Eh eh? Just kidding. We're sure that didn't happen. Actually we're not sure, it very well may have. But you can't trust anything that Life & Style says either.

David Arquette: One Wild and Craaaazy Guy!

David Arquette has not lost it, people.
The actor may have been out partying all of last weekend and may have placed some misguided phone calls to Howard Stern, but the recently-separated actor explained why during an appearance on Lopez Tonight yesterday: that's just who he is.

"I've always been a wild man," he told the host. "My nickname was 'David Good Times.' I like running around, having fun... I like meeting people. I did that privately for a long time because I wasn't ever going out. Now, I'm in the nightclub business. I'm going out."
The modest actor also said he didn't care at all about what tabloids wrote.
"I am a fun-loving, great person," Arquette said. "I refuse to let these magazines vilify me, make me a demon. I am one of the best people you'll ever meet."

Tiger Woods: Creepin' on Random Hoes!

They say a Tiger can't change his stripes. Well, a year after Tiger Woods' infamous Thanksgiving weekend car wreck, which revealed his affair with Rachel Uchitel and ignited a mammoth sex scandal, the golfer is up to his old tricks.
No, not Joslyn James and Devon James. But similar tricks.
"He's seeing random girls, creeping around in a low-key way," Us Weekly quotes an alleged Tiger insider as saying. "I don't think you can call it 'dating.'"

PROWLIN'! Tiger is supposedly in the hunt (for tail) once again.

So basically, dude's on the prowl for cocktail waitresses all over Florida, but it's hard to call it dating when you get kicked out of the house at 6:30 a.m.
Oddly, this bogus report goes on to reveal Tiger's actual plans for Thursday one paragraph later: "The kids and his mom will join him for Thanksgiving."
His ex-wife Elin Nordegren, meanwhile, is "not dating, but is in great spirits," the source adds. Well, that's good to hear ... $110 million has to help.

Jennifer Grey Reflects on "Unbelievable" Dancing With the Stars Win

After having four neck surgeries and waging a fight against cancer, Jennifer Grey "didn't even think about winning" when Dancing With the Stars began.
When she was handed the Mirror Ball trophy Tuesday, the health woes the 50-year-old battled made it even sweeter. "This is so unbelievable," she said.
"I feel so grateful, so blessed, that I had this opportunity. I don't know that there's any experience that will ever be anything like this again."

Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough are this season's champions.

Grey's title was effectively sealed 10 minutes before the big reveal, when lightning rod finalist Bristol Palin was named the season's third-place finisher.
It came down to Jennifer and Kyle Massey, who she bested with two perfect scores Monday, and whose fan support wasn't expected to match Bristol's.
After weeks of debate about Palin's staying power thanks to an active fan base, in the end it was not quite enough to deny Jennifer what was hers.
Kyle Massey and partner Lacey Schwimmer knew it too.
"We didn't think we'd make it past the first week, so to make it to the finals and to place second behind Jennifer and Derek, who got perfect scores, means we were pretty close to perfection," Massey said after the show.
"Jennifer deserved to win. America got it right."
With partner Hough's help, Grey slowly made her way around the ballroom after the show to talk to the press with a ruptured disc in her lower back.
She sustained that Monday, and in between performances last night, Grey was in pain. An ice pack was strategically tucked into her dancing pants.
Grey credited her husband, actor Clark Gregg, and their 8-year-old daughter, Stella, for their undying support of her ballroom "immersion course."
"I've done nothing but sleep and take care of my injuries. They have been so amazing," says Grey. "My husband has been taking care of everything and my daughter has become so much more self-sufficient. It's been great for everyone."
"I found out my husband can cook!"
Sounds like a win-win to us!

Lee DeWyze seems like a very nice guy and certainly possess a lot of music talent. But these numbers speak for themselves:

Kanye West Goes on Insane Concert Rant, Possibly Compares Matt Lauer to Child Abuser

Kanye West is out of his mind.
The rapper went on a VINTAGE Kanye rant last night in his New York concert, going off on everything from Taylor Swift and George W. Bush to the Today show.
Of the VMA debacle, he said "If I wasn't drunk, I woulda been on stage longer," then accused Swift of milking it, saying she "rode and rode" the wave of publicity.

Regarding the former President, West said his post-Katrina criticism of George Bush was "a BLATANT truth" ... then lambasted the media for demonizing Bush.
He also brought up the Today show drama again, reiterating his belief that Matt Lauer sabotaged him and ran a clip from his Q&A with Kanye out of context:
"Matt Lauer's not a bad guy I'm sure, but if you're a child being abused by a parent ... or a girl being abused by your boyfriend ... the greatest win that you could ever have is for that person to hit you in public. You SEE! YOU SEE! I TOLD YOU!"

Bristol Palin's DWTS Secret Weapon: Prayer

Bristol Palin finished third on the Dancing with the Stars finale.
Considering the scrutiny and controversy she fought through - not to mention her lack of experience dancing - it's pretty darn impressive for the 20-year-old.
Her secret to overcoming all that adversity? Prayer.

Palin, who fell just short behind Kyle Massey and winner Jennifer Grey on last night's finale, drew ire from some fans for advancing despite relatively low scores.
"It is faith that got me through this, just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we'll get through this," she said.
"Just persevere, have confidence, and be willing to go try new things," she said, asked what she'll take away from this. "I've grown so much as a person."

Police to Question Denise Richards Over Alleged Charlie Sheen Harrassment

Even in divorce, Denise Richards can't get away from the mayhem Charlie Sheen leaves in his drunken wake.
Because the actor's ex-wife was actually present at dinner on the night Sheen allegedly went ballistic and eventually threatened the life of Capri Anderson - the porn star has said Richards left when she saw the evening turning into a night of "floozies" - police have contacted the actress.
Richards was also sleeping in the Plaza Hotel room across from her ex when cops arrived on the scene. She reportedly entered at some point and could have spotted evidence to be used in an investigation.

Two women, half a man.

Sources tell TMZ Denise plans to "fully cooperate."

Meanwhile, a police spokesman spoke to E! News and gave some background on just what the NYPD is looking into, based on charges Anderson has brought against her one-time date.

"She decided a month later the crime that was completed was harassment," the spokesman said. "She said he was shouting at her, knocking things off in the hotel room, acting irrational. She voluntarily locked herself in the bathroom and was not held against her will. She was not a victim of assault. She was not imprisoned in the hotel room."

Why didn't police initially investigate the events?

"When we responded, she didn't file a police report. She never said she felt in danger. Mr. Sheen voluntarily went to the hospital were he underwent a psychiatric evaluation."

Cops will also speak to Sheen about the incident at some point over the next couple days.

Perhaps an English teacher could do the same. This crazy dude needs serious grammar help!

Christy Martin, Boxing Legend, Accuses Husband of Shooting and Stabbing Her

Christy Martin is a boxing legend, the first female in her sport to cover Sports Illustrated. But now this brawler is truly in for the fight of her life...
... against both death and her husband.

Martin, who once appeared on the undercard of a Mike Tyson match, is recovering in a Florida hospital after being shot and stabbed yesterday.

While details are still coming in, TMZ reports the boxer stumbled out of her home after the incident, flagged down a car and was taken to get care by a passing motorist. Despite her injuries, Martin told authorities the man behind the attack was her 66-year-old husband and trainer, James Martin.

Police are now on the hunt for the man who made the mistake of thinking Christy Martin could be knocked out so easily.

The big day for Amitabh, ShahRukh and Salman…

I don’t remember there being a more ‘event’ful day in Bollywood over the past few days… You remember what all was lined up for today, don’t you? Well for those who don’t, then it’s Amitabh Bachchan’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!!! Though the birthday isn’t all that happy because of his mother’s illness, but the ‘angry young man’ of the industry has just turned 65!!!
Though there isn’t a strand of gray hair on his head (wonder how many times does he dye his hair in a week!), age is taking its toll on AB Sr.
With the serious illness that loomed on his head last year this time, the whole country had mourned and prayed for him… and this year, we pray for his mom’s health… she’s supposed to be in a critical condition and is currently hospitalized…
Though the 65-year-old man might not celebrate today, the two Khans will! You guessed it right people.. It’s ShahRukh and Salman Khan eating into each other’s celebrations as SRK celebrates the launch of his book ‘SRK – Still Reading Khan’ and Salman dances away to glory in the Jaaneman bash!!!

Is Lily Allen Engaged?!

Although she once said that she had no plans to get married, reports are surfacing that Lily Allen is engaged to her boyfriend Sam Cooper.
A friend of the singer said:

"Everyone's so proud of Lily. She's made a list of how to get through what can only be described as a horrible tragedy. This is the most awful situation in the world and she's aware that nothing can take away the hurt she feels at losing her and Sam's baby.
Last week, Sam told Lily he can't live without her and wants to go ahead with the wedding plans. It was always the plan that they'd marry at some point but this has given her a major boost.
Lily's been in a dark place but she's slowly rebuilding from the shock. She told Sam she needs time to heal but she's not letting herself die of a broken heart.
He's been very supportive but he's hurting like hell as too, so they had a long heart-to-heart and have planned a holiday somewhere quiet.
Lily's a fighter and says if she can get through this, she can get through anything.

We hope she takes the time she needs to heal. If this is true, we wish her the best of luck!

29 Trapped miners died in New Zealand....

As 29 trapped miners have remained underground since Friday brought on by massive gas explosion in Greymouth, New Zealand, friends and family learned on Monday that the miners could not have survived a second explosion.
And now the town is devastated!
About 200 people attended a vigil for the miners, including Opposition leader Phil Goff, Greymouth Mayor Tony Kokshoorn and Pike River chief executive Peter Whittall. Daniel Rockhouse, who was rescued from the mine on Friday, also attended.
Pope Benedict XVI also sent his regards. He expressed condolences and sympathy for the tragic event and remembered the men in a special way in his prayers. He invoked a blessing to give people courage and strength.
As Pike River Coal chief Whittall told families about the second explosion, they were inconsolable.
Kokshoorn said:

"They told us there was a massive explosion and there was no way there were any survivors. We thought we were going to get some good news.
They just dropped to the floor. It's anger, as simple as that. It's just gut-wrenching. This is our darkest hour."

So sad. Our thoughts go out to the families.

Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene: Happy as Ever!

Following the announcement by Demi Lovato that she's seeking treatment for an abundance of personal issues, Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene have found themselves under unexpected fire.
Fans of the 18-year old singer initially jumped to unfortunate conclusions and blamed Demi's ex for dating Greene so soon after he and Lovato broke up. The criticism has since died down, allowing these two to focus on their relationship.
Which, sources confirm, is going extremely well.

Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas: Coffee today, a ring tomorrow?!?

E! News quotes a friend that says Ashley's parents have met Joe and simply adore him. Look for this couple to spend the holidays together.

"They are happy as ever right now," says the pal.

And, hey, no signs yet that Greene is corrupting Jonas in any way. So that's good.

Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win?

Does Jennifer Grey deserve it because of the physical ailments she's overcome and the high scores she's consistently produced, week in and week out?
Does unheralded, charismatic Kyle Massey get the nod thanks to the rare blend of technical merit and fun he and Lacey Schwimmer bring to the table?
Does Bristol Palin deserve it because ... well, presumably people have some reason for stuffing the virtual ballot box for Sarah's daughter each Monday.
Who should win Dancing With the Stars this evening?

The real (and possibly rigged, depending on who you believe) votes are cast, but THG's poll is open! Weigh in and watch the results along with us later ...
