Ranbir is much better actor than Imran: Aamir Khan
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is one such actor, who has never maintained the diplomacy tag on him. He has never bothered to call a spade a spade. He has not been partial to anyone during his more than two decade long career in Bollywood.
The seasoned actor has yet again proved that he is a thorough professional and does not spare family and friends too. This time, it was turn of his doting nephew Bollywood actor Imran Khan.
In a recent interview with Zoom, Aamir was asked to choose between Ranbir Kapoor and Imran as the better actor. Aamir could not be diplomatic here too and said that he loves Imran but as an actor Ranbir is the better one.
Well, it may hurt Imran but he should not forget the big compliment he received from his 'mamu'. Aamir said that Imran is a 'lambi race ka ghoda', which is no doubt a big compliment for him.
Aamir might have given a hint to Imran that he needs to work harder if he really wants to stay in competition in the industry. So, this is a genuine concern of his uncle for

SRK turns professor for KJo's 'Student Of The Year'
No one can imagine Karan Johar directing a movie, which does not have his close buddy Shah Rukh Khan in it. So, when he released the first look of his next film Student of the Year, everyone raised eyebrows as it does not show the credit of SRK.
Starting from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which was Karan’s directorial debut, King Khan was part of all his directorial projects, the latest being My Name Is Khan. So, Karan cannot give a miss to his buddy in his upcoming movie too that has some newcomers in main roles.
The first look showed the new faces Aaliya Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra. Everyone was taken aback by the absence of SRK.
However, the latest reports suggest that Shah Rukh will be definitely part of the project and he will turn professor for this movie. He has done it in 2000 for the movie Mohabbatein. Now, after more than 10 years, SRK will be seen in the same avatar of a professor, who is loved by his students.

Yeh Saali Kiss thrashes Mallika's 17 kisses record with 22 liplocks
Arunoday Singh and Aditi Rao thrash Mallika Sherawat's 17 kisses-Khwahish record. We are not sure if it's a record worth setting but Sudhir Mishra's next film, Yeh Saali Zindagi, includes 22 liplocks
Yeh Saali Zindagi might set a new record in celluloid smooching. Arunodoy Singh (last seen making violent love to Raima Sen in Vinay Shukla's Mirch) and Aditi Rao (Sonam Kapoor's bua in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6) are the couple in question.
"Aditi and Arunodoy play a young couple based in Delhi. They kiss every time they quarrel. And they quarrel a lot, " says Mishra.
Mishra's memory freezes the figure at "around 20 or 22". A kiss is a far more aesthetic and natural expression of love than hip-shaking, believes the director, who has in the past had to do away with kissing scenes because the actors in question were reluctant.
No such issues with Rao and Singh, though.
Singh comes from a political family. His

Australia take series after Brisbane victory
BRISBANE: Australia wrapped up a morale-boosting one-day series victory over England with two games to spare after a 51-run win in the fifth match at the Gabba on Sunday.

Vaccines can help after cholera starts: studies
WASHINGTON: Cholera today is more resilient than previous types, but as the world marks 50 years since the most recent strain surfaced, two studies this week suggest that vaccines can help even after an outbreak starts. One of the studies in this week's Public Library of Science (PLoS) Neglected Tropical Diseases journal analyzed data from Zimbabwe, India and Tanzania to see how many cases could have been preventable under differing response times, vaccine dosage and coverage area. In Zimbabwe, where a cholera outbreak began in August 2008 and lasted through July 2009, quick intervention could have saved many of the 4,288 lives lost.

Muddled Murray admits he forgot score
MELBOURNE: Britain's Andy Murray Friday got so wrapped up in his hard-fought Australian Open semi-final with David Ferrer that he forgot the score -- and saved a crucial set point without knowing it.
Murray said he hadn't realised he was a set point down in the second set, which he came back to win and level the match. The world number five finally took it in four sets, 4-6, 7-6 (7/2), 6-1, 7-6 (7/2).
Murray, 23, thought he was serving at 3-4 down, rather than 4-5, when he came up with an unplayable serve to deny Ferrer a break. He said he was stunned when he realised the Spaniard had been just one point from taking the set.

New Zealand never really challenged Pakistan's imposing 293 for seven, with Martin Guptill (39), Jamie How (24) Scott Styris (46) and Kane Williamson (42) all getting starts but leaving too many runs for the lower order to overhaul the total. Skipper Afridi also cleverly rotated his bowlers, who expertly changed their pace and angles, bowled to their fields and took wickets just as New Zealand's batsmen appeared set to push on. |

Why so many B-town hotties using abusive language?
Bollywood stars have been quite liberal in their movies these days with a lot of abusive language and cuss words being used by top leading stars as if it was something as natural as night and day.
There are recent Bollywood films like Kaminey, Yeh Saali Zindagi, No One Killed Jessica just to name a few where so many cuss words have been used by protagonists as if there was nothing as entertaining as these in our films.
Yet when it comes to analyzing these very movies where quite a lot of noticeable such words or phrases are used it seems almost strange that despite these very bold dialogues littered with such words these movies have done considerably well at the box office.
This goes on to say to a certain extent that probably the modern Indian audiences are quite comfortable with this language.
Now does that mean that certain cuss words have entered into the daily dialect of our society and somewhere down the line there is very little left to draw the line between what is considered to be acceptable and what not acceptable in

In contrast, those who ate more white meat have a decreased risk of dying, and in particular of dying from cancer.

New rooms discovered in Egyptian pyramid
PARIS: French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin unveiled in Paris on Thursday the existence of two hidden and so far unknown rooms in Egypt's Great Pyramid.
No one had ever suspected the existence of any such rooms. But in his many visits to Khufu’s king’s chamber, Houdin noticed that one stone element in the burial room was not supporting any weight and therefore had once been a passage.
According to funeral rites of ancient Egypt, kings would be buried with all their belongings in close proximity. In other pyramids these items are situated in a room adjacent to the burial room.
