Another Year !

The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months!


The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

Avatar rules as US box office

The combination of Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and other solid titles as well as Christmas landing on a Friday led to the highest-grossing weekend ever. Overall business came in at around $270 million, up 34 percent over the same timeframe last year and surpassing the previous high of $260.5 million set on July 18-20, 2008, when The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia! debuted.
Living up to its hype as the event picture of the season, Avatar was monolithic with $75.6 million, down a mere two percent from its opening. Though boosted by the Christmas holiday, it nonetheless broke the record for highest-grossing second weekend ever, edging out The Dark Knight's $75.2 million. The sci-fi adventure's 3D sites accounted for a 3D-record-setting $57.9 million of the weekend, and the picture posted another rousing performance in IMAX, which contributed an estimated $8.8 million of the weekend gross. In ten days, its tally stands at a whopping $212.7 million, including $158.7 million from 3D sites. It also continued to fly overseas, grossing $152 million and lifting its total to $410.9 million. That puts its worldwide haul at $623.6 million in less than two weeks.

Angelina Jolie Doubts "Fidelity Is Absolutely Essential For A Relationship"


With six beautiful children and millions in the bank genetically blessed couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie surely have a great life. But when it comes to their relationship they seem to have a very bohemian attitude to staying faithful to each other.

In an interview with a German women's magazine, Das Neue Jolie says, "I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards. Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other."

Angelina Jolie is known to be controversial and outspoken but her most recent comments are sure to provide many a tabloid cover!

Shruti Hassan - Siddharth in love

Legendary South India actor Kamal Haasan's pretty daughter Shruti Haasan, currenly juggling between her music in Chennai and going through scripts from Mumbai, is a frequest visitor of Hyderabad these days as this stunningly beautiful actress-singer-composer is making her Telugu debut opposite Siddharth.

Talking about her Telugu film being directed by National Award winning Prakash Rao (son of the legendary film-maker Raghavendra Rao), Shruti said that she is currently having fun learning Telugu, picking up the local language quite fast! She is already fluent in Tamil, English, Hindi and even knows a bit of German.

Meanwhile, the latest buzz in tinsel town suggests that Shruti Haasan and Siddharth are in love! It says that the duo has been spotted together many times.

“They look very comfortable with each other. Sid and Shruti have had many lunch and dinner meetings and even been arriving at parties to dance the night away. Apparently, Kamal knows about his daughter's love interest and has no problems with her relationship, despite the fact that she is still trying to make it big in movies and her affair might damage her career prospects. Kamal, it seems, likes Siddharth a lot and adores his acting," a source was quoted as saying.
