Jang-Geo Group reporters, anchors termed agents of Israel, Russia, India
GILGIT: The ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on Monday came under severe attack in the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly from the opposition benches for unleashing a relentless assault on the Jang Media Group for “attempting to dislodge the government”.

Bipasha agrees to lock lips and hot scenes!
While it is known that Bipasha Basu has been signed for Hollywood film Singularity with Josh Hartnett. The big news is that she will shoot for some hot scenes with her hot co-star kissing.
The actress, who flew off for Roland Joffe's 35 million dollar shoot last week admits, there will be kissing and lovemaking scenes in the film, and that she's comfortable doing them.
Bips argument is, "If I can do kissing scenes in India then why not for a Hollywood film? I have only kissed John (Abraham) and Ranbir (Kapoor) in Bachna Ae Haseeno - though I tried to wriggle out of that."
Singularity is a passionate love story about an Indian bodyguard and a British soldier set apart in two time zones.
The actress however has some entirely different worries, "I am a bit unnerved about working with a Hollywood team for the
Golmaal 3 vs. Action Replayy: And the winner is...
Aishwarya Rai, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, etc. etc- we had loads of stars fighting it out this Diwali as two big and promising flicks hit the theatres together. While Action Replayy came with a baggage of retro feel, Golmaal 3 ushered in lots of chuckles and guffaws.
But who has won the box office war? Though, it's too early to declare the final result, if the initial reports are anything to go by, then, certainly, Action Replayy has been licking dust amidst the giggling Golmaal crew.
Golmaal 3 promises laughter and a 'paisa vasool' entertainment despite being mindless and stupid at times. So, the public (smeared heavily in Diwali colours) are flocking in with their tub of over-priced popcorns munching on to every one-liner thrown in by Shreyas, Ajay, Tusshar and the likes. With Johny Lever and Mithun Chakravarthy joining the wagon wheel, the starry ensemble of G3 has only got bigger.
Action Replayy, on the other hand, has failed to lure the spectators. The 70s world has, surely, not been an enticing invitation and the threadbare storyline and mediocre performance has marred the

Bhansali's Guzaarish in a plagiarism conflict
With only days left for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish to hit the theaters it seems that the movie has run into a bit of a copyright storm of its own. As we all know by now the movie deals with the moral and emotional implications of euthanasia and mercy killing. The movie stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles.
Recently a noted novelist Dayanand Raajan accused the writer of Guzaarish for lifting the core theme of his new book for the plot of the movie.
Dayanand said that Guzaarish has a striking similarity to the plot line and characters of his movie and it seems like a complete rip off. Dayanand also said that he read his new novel to some Bollywood personalities and the writer of Guzaarish must have lifted his idea through a common friend.
The makers of Guzaarish have been served with a seven-day notice period after which Dayanand will go to
