London, Aug 19 (ANI): A Brit dog’s home is said to be facing a crisis, for it is being overwhelmed by the growing number of cats arriving there.
Staff at Battersea dogs’ home in London are desperately appealing for would-be owners to come forward to help with a “cat emergency”.
Battersea is world-renowned as a dogs’ home, but it is less well known that it also has a cattery, which is nearly at full capacity because fewer and fewer people are choosing to adopt a cat.
The number of cats being found a new owner is nine percent down, compared with this time last year, with only 1,174 cats having been rehomed by Battersea this year, compared to 1,290 cats by July in 2008.
And there has been a summer influx of kittens. Of the 145 cat pens, 143 are in use and there are a further 173 cats waiting to be admitted.
“We are having a cat emergency at Battersea – we have more cats than there are in the entire cattery waiting to come in,” the Daily Star quoted a spokeswoman for the home as saying.
Ros Davies, “cat rehomer” at the rescue centre, the full name of which is Battersea Dogs And Cats Home, said there is a huge range of cats and kittens looking for new homes.
“Summer is traditionally a busy time of the year for us because the warm weather usually means there are more kittens brought in,” she said.
“But this summer’s nine per cent drop in rehoming figures has taken us all by surprise.
“People might think of Battersea as more of a home for dogs than cats, but cats are just as important and need loving new homes, too,” she stated.
A RSPCA spokesman said: “We have seen an increase over the past year in the number of abandoned pets. We put that partly down to the recession. What we don’t want is for people to volunteer if they can’t look after an animal. People should not come forward on a whim as it is quite a commitment to look after an animal,” he added. (ANI)

Mumbai, Aug 17(ANI): In an innovative method of film promotion star cast of ‘Life Partner’ on Monday opted to sell tickets of the film at the ticket counter of a theatre in Mumbai.
It was an unusual sight for the movie buffs, who noticed Fardeen Khan, Tushhar kapoor, Prachi Desai and Genelia D’souza selling tickets at the ticket counter for their movie at the Gaiety theatre.
Due to swine flu scare, the Maharashtra Government had declared closure of all the theatres and multiplexes for three days and the release of movies like ‘Life Partner’ and ‘Kaminey’ was postponed from the scheduled Friday to Monday.
‘Life Partner’ producer Abbas of the Abbas-Mastan duo said that although they would have incurred loses due to the deferred release, they were still hopeful of making profit.
“Whatever response we received today from the public, it seems although we cannot incur the losses we had in these three crucial days, but I am sure we will manage to recover slowly,” said Abbas.
As soon as the news spread, chaos prevailed at the ticket counters with the fans trying to catch a glimpse of these and buy tickets from them.
Tusshar Kapoor said that as their film received good collections in other cities, they wanted the same from Mumbai.
“It has been written in the history of Bollywood that if the film is reported as flop, then even if Saturday is a major holiday, people will never go to watch it. The collections of our film almost tripled in few cities after it released. That is why we are here so that people of Mumbai can make our film equally successful like other cities,” said Tusshar Kapoor.
Scripted and Directed by Rumy Jaffery it is a romantic comedy and has Govinda in the lead. It is the story of two couples struggling with their life partners and lovers. (ANI)

London, August 14 (ANI): Farrah Fawcett’s best friend of 30 years, Alana Stewart, has slammed reports alleging that the late star’s long-time love Ryan O’Neal was with her because of her bank balance.
Stewart, who remained with the actress during her cancer battle, insisted Ryan is a “good guy”, adding he had more money than Fawcett.
“It’s almost like a joke frankly and anybody who knows them well knows that’s so not true,” The Daily Express quoted Stewart as saying.
“They were together over 30 years and frankly Ryan always had a lot more money than Farrah. He invested his money from day one very well.
“He was very loving with her those last few months and it was very clear that he was heartbroken. He was losing the love of his life. That’s the only reason he was there. I am a supporter of Ryan’s because I know how much he loved her and still does.
“Ryan is a complex guy but he’s a good guy and he’s got a good heart and he was very good to Farrah those last number of months.
As far as I’m concerned that’s really the end of the story,” she added. (ANI)

Washington, Aug 14 (ANI): Kanye West’s girlfriend Amber Rose insists she has no qualms about being dubbed a “bisexual freak stripper” because she has nothing to be ashamed of.
The model, who has rekindled her relationship with the hip-hop star after briefly splitting from him in February, insists she has always been.
The 26-year-old beauty insists she was always open with Kanye, 32, about her unconventional past.
“Yeah, they label me a bisexual freak stripper that f**ks Kanye on a daily basis. You know, ‘Amber Rose, the f***ing bisexual, dyke, freak, whatever the f**k.’ To answer that, I’m extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Complex magazine.
“Kanye knew my life, so when it was, ‘Oh Kanye, do you know she was a stripper, that she used to date girls?’ he was like, ‘Tell me something I don’t know!’ ” she added. (ANI)

London, Aug 13 (ANI): A huge new UFO mystery has started after a string of sightings of bright orange lights in the night skies over East Anglia were spotted.
The dazzling light shows have bewitched and intrigued eyewitnesses all over Norfolk and as far south as Ipswich, Suffolk.
John Young, 43, of Sprowston, near Norwich, who was stunned when he woke up at about 3.30am and looked out of the window, grabbed his camera after spotting a strange shining light on August 5.
“I glanced out of my bedroom window to see a bright light in the sky, much like a star except slightly larger in appearance and considerably brighter,” the Telegraph quoted Young as saying.
“It didn’t move but when I played it back on my computer I was surprised to see the object was a perfect sphere with a hole in the middle.
“You can even see it appears to rotate clockwise for maybe 20 seconds then anti-clockwise for the next and so forth.
“I’m perplexed as to what I saw. Maybe there’s a simple explanation but I haven’t a clue what it was,” he said.
Young had spoken out after dozens of mysterious orange lights were spotted all over Norfolk, including Norwich, Dereham, Downham Market, Holkham and Caister.
Andrew Goodchild, 42, a helicopter pilot, was baffled by an unidentified orange light he saw over Norwich just before 10pm on August 2.
Goodchild, who has flown since 1991, said he initially thought it was a low-flying chopper but quickly realised the light was unusual.
Malcolm Vicary, of Old Catton, Norwich, said he was also intrigued by the suspected UFO that night.
“At first I thought it was a hot air balloon because of the orange glow,” Vicary said.
“It suddenly changed direction for a short distance then resumed its original course.
“The orange glow then went out. It then started to descend quite fast in the direction of St Faith’s, very close to Norwich airport.
“I’m sure it wasn’t an aircraft because there were no navigation lights or sound,” he added.
Other witnesses to the bright light were Dennis Sayer, of Dereham and his wife.
“Me and the wife spotted an orange light passing our house here in Dereham from the Windsor Park area at about 11.15 on Monday night,” Sayer said.
“We were looking out from a bedroom window and it was coming from the Norwich area heading toward Fakenham/Wells way.
“It did not appear to be going that fast – about the speed of a helicopter or less.
“I tried taking a picture of it with my mobile but the light was not bright enough.
“It was orange and pulsing and what looked like other coloured lights within it, but the main colour was orange,” he added. (ANI)

It had to happen, and it has happened. When there are three famous Bollywood stars that are franchisee owners of three of the main teams in the IPL, i.e. Shah Rukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta, a convergence between the films and cricket had to be arrived. And it has arrived. These three super stars have decided that they would be on the hunt for a new Bollywood starlet from amongst the spectators who come to watch the matches of the IPL.
This decision would really send the camerapersons covering the IPL matches in South Africa into a tizzy, as there would be a load of glamour and oomph on display with loads of attitude and array of designer ware. After all, when would the pretty girls from South Africa be they of the Indian origin or the South African origin get a chance to act in a film in Bollywood. As it is South Africa is a venue, which has been quite popular with our Hindi film industry as a preferred locale, and Sanjay Dutt is a star that is the most popular of the Indian film stars in South Africa.
These three stars would have a lot of watching to do, and they have not retracted, but have decided to watch all the matches to find out that elusive face. After all, who does not want to unleash one’s own discovery into the world of Hindi cinema, a protege always warms the cockles of the heart. The person who would be finally selected would be entitled to a role in a Hindi film, 50000 Rands in cash, a business class trip to India and a whole truckload of other prizes. The whole idea behind going in for searches of these kinds is to get a fresh face without the trappings of grooming for a space in Bollywood.
The focus of the search of the face would be to find out if it has an attitude and appearance and the arena of the cricket ground has been chosen as it would indeed be difficult to maintain a demeanor through out a match and natural expression would come into play, and it is this natural expression that would even mesmerize a stranger is being aspired for, through this quest. The trio would select 50 winners from each one of the eight venues hosting IPL matches in South Africa. Those who emerge winner would be shown on the big screen during the second five-minute break.
Each venue would have one finalist, so in all there would be eight finalists from whom one lucky person would be selected and honored at the final match in the Wanderers in Johannesburg on 24 May 2009.
Wonder why services of Mandira Bedi are not being requisitioned for this endeavor, as she literally hangs out amongst the crowd with her mike in hand?

Washington, Apr 24 (ANI): Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has revealed that she never asks her dad Billy Ray for advice on her love life, as he is rarely sympathetic about it.
Cyrus, 16, who had split from Jonas Brothers star Nick Jonas last year, and is currently dating model/musician Justin Gaston, says that she keeps her relationship woes to herself, as her dad is of no help.
“Dad just doesn’t get it. He’s just like, ‘Suck it up and get over it! You’ll find another one! There’s more fish in the sea and he wasn’t that good-looking anyway!’ He actually did say that once,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Hello magazine.
“He’s a harsh man to my boyfriends. He’s usually cool with them when they’re with me… But once it’s over – once they dump me or I dump them – then he’s always down for bashing them,” she added. (ANI)

London, Apr 24 (ANI): Jade Goody’s life and death is to be the subject of a musical, according to one of her closest friends.
It has emerged that producers are searching for an actress to play the former Big Brother star, reports The Telegraph.
Goody died last month aged 27 after losing her battle with cervical cancer.
According to Danny Hayward, who runs a photographic agency and was one of the best men at Goody’s wedding, the musical would premiere this year.
“One of the various projects we’ve got in the pipeline is a musical we’ve got coming out in about four months’ time and it is going to be the story of her life, and we’re going to be on the search for who is going to play Jade,” he told ITN On.
“Her dream as a little girl was to be in a musical, so obviously when she passed away it felt fitting to do something like this,” he added.
Choreographer Victoria Hayward said of the casting process:
“Obviously there is nobody else in this world quite like Jade, but hopefully we’ll have a panel not only of creative experts but people that were close to Jade, to pick somebody who is able to dance, to sing – because Jade could sing, she had a fabulous voice – and to act, and also to have that extra special sparkle that she had.”
The plans were announced at a book launch celebrating the posthumous publication of Goody’s autobiography. (ANI)

It seems the quota of worries for the creative director of widely acclaimed film TAARE ZAMEEN PAR is not over. Amole Gupte, who had written TZP, is now facing problems finding a big star for his next film SAPNO KO GINTE GINTE
Amole, who is responsible for writing the much appreciated plotline of TZP, is finding it hard to convince a big star to do his film. The film which is on the lines of his earlier script assumes importance since Amole will don the director’s hat for the first time.
Amole was earlier scheduled to direct TAARE ZAMEEN PAR but was later replaced by producer Aamir Khan when he decided to act and direct the film himself. Many have seen this as the precursor of the fallout between Aamir and him.
Now, waiting for his next film to take-off, Amole maintains, ”I am waiting for a big star to agree to do my film. Unless that happens, I cannot go ahead with my project.”
Well, for now the master craftsman may not be writing, but he’s for sure enjoying his cameo act in Vishal Bharadwaj’s upcoming film KAMINEY.

Child star Rubina Ali may have gained an overnight stardom with Oscar winner SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, but 9 year-old slum kid isn’t having the best of the times as it should have been. Infact the girl is trapped in a new dilemma.
If the current reports are to be believed than it is being stated that British tabloids have accused the father of Rubina Ali of allegedly trying to sell her off for a whopping sum of Rs 20 million. The tabloids claim to have done a sting operation against the father. In a bid to escape poverty and life in the slum father Rafiq Qureshi and an uncle had put Rubina up for adoption to the tabloid’s undercover reporters posing as a wealthy family from Saudi Arabia. However Rafiq denied the claim and said that he had gone to meet an Arabian sheikh to discuss about an ad film and had no plans to sell off his daughter.
Reportedly Rubina’s real mother Khurshid, who separated from her husband eight years ago, claimed that Rubina’s future is in danger if she remains with Rafiq. She even approached the police for that matter. The other day Khurshid arrived at Bandra’s Gharib Nagar slums where Rubina lives, and abused everyone. She tried to attack Rubina’s stepmum Munni, but others intervened. Meanwhile, Rafiq’s relatives arrived and tried to convince the media how loving a father Rafiq was and why Rubina should live only with him. Later the police recorded the statements of Khurshid, Rafiq and Rubina.
It is being said that Rubina’s statement did not match with that of Rafiq’s. While on camera she maintained her father’s statement. But off camera she held that when her father asked if she would like to go to Saudi Arabia she was quite gung-ho about it. And all set to go to Saudi.
Well all we can say is that Rubina’s life is not as ordinary as that of slum kid anymore.

Mumbai, April 21 (IANS) He is known for making designer films, but Karan Johar recently shot some key sequences of his ‘My Name Is Khan’ in a slum here with ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ kid Tanay Cheda.
Karan said Tanay, who played the ‘middle’ Jamal in the multiple Oscar-winning film, made Shah Rukh Khan’s childhood look convincing for the film.
The director chose him to play young Shah Rukh because of not only his facial likeness to the star but also Tanay’s instant connectivity with the Mumbai slums and thereafter the Western audience.
‘Tanay is exceptionally talented. He was able to imbibe Shah Rukh’s character traits and use them to make SRK’s childhood look convincing,’ said Karan.
The scenes with Tanay were shot in Borivali along with actress Zarina Wahab, who plays Shah Rukh’s mother in the movie. The director now intends to cast Tanay as junior SRK whenever required, much in the way that Master Mayur played the young Amitabh Bachchan in a series of films.
Though the take-off point for ‘My Name Is Khan’ is 9/11, not a single shot is taken in New York. The film is set in Los Angeles and San Francisco – two of the most expensive cities in the US for shooting.
While Karan Johar’s production of Rensil de Silva’s Kareena Kapoor-Saif Ali Khan film on terrorism will have Philadelphia masquerading as New York, his own directorial take on terrorism and the isolation of the working-class Muslim has gone to two US cities.
Karan shot in LA earlier this year and leaves for San Francisco in May for a 40-day schedule.
