| Aishwarya Rai Bachchan pregnant Posted: 22 Jun 2011 08:25 AM PDT  This will be the first child for Rai and her husband Abhishek Bachchan. — Reuters file pic "I am going to become a grandfather Aishwarya expecting. So happy and thrilled!!!" Bachchan said, confirming the subject of weeks of speculation. Rai, 37, a former Miss World, has been married to actor Abhishek Bachchan for more than four years and the star couple had been fending off pregnancy rumors in the past year. Yesterday, Rai's media manager confirmed the pregnancy but did not give more details. Rai, who often features on "most beautiful" lists, has worked in several Hollywood and Bollywood films but has taken on noticeably fewer projects recently. She has no films under production but has signed up to filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar's "Heroine," which was announced at the Cannes Film Festival in May. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
| Rowling set to unveil new Harry Potter venture Posted: 22 Jun 2011 05:40 AM PDT  Rowling's publicist has said the new venture would not involve a new book. — Reuters file pic Having announced a new website, the British author has kept its contents a closely guarded secret, giving previews to just a handful of the biggest fan sites who have been sworn to silence. All will be revealed tomorrow, with a countdown clock linked to the website indicating that it will go live at noon London time (1800 Malaysian time). "The owls are gathering ... Find out why soon" is all the link says. What many Potter fans would like most would be an eighth novel to follow on from the seventh and "final" instalment "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" published in 2007. But Rowling's publicist has already made clear that it would not involve a new book. The seven-novel series has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, and, along with the blockbuster movie franchise, turned Rowling into the world's wealthiest writer. Other options on the website include a social networking fan site, an online game or the launch of the novels as ebooks. The announcement comes just a few weeks ahead of the theatrical release on July 15 of the eighth and final Harry Potter film which will be shown in 3D. The seven movies released so far have grossed US$6.4 billion (RM19.4 billion) in ticket sales. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
