Filmfare Awards 2008
Jo Wood is no longer with Ronnie Wood
Ronnie Wood's wife has decided to end her 23-year marriage after learning about his relationship with an eighteen-year-old Russian bargirl. Jo Wood left a furious message on the 61-year-old's phone over his hook-up with Moscow-born cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova. They had such a strong marriage. He's thrown it all away with his stupid behaviour.
Family and friends spent the weekend comforting blonde ex-model Jo after she made her heartbreaking decision. "Jo has been through the mill. She thought he was only drinking buddies with the girl and she was hanging around him for free drinks. "Now everything has surfaced about how they met and Jo has hit rock bottom," the source added.
Angelina Jolie's twins photographs worth $11m
They may be just a day old, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins are already worth 11 million dollars, what with a paper shelving out that kind of money for their first picture. The 'Tomb Raider' actress delivered a boy named Knox Leon and a girl called Vivienne Marcheline yesterday at a maternity clinic in Nice on the French Riviera.
And the golden couple of Hollywood has already sold the first photograph of the baby celebrities to a US paper for a whopping 11 million US dollars. Gynaecologist Michel Sussmann said that 33-year-old actress and the twins were in the pink of health. "Everything went smoothly. The children are doing very well, the mother is doing very well and the father is doing very well,'' The Daily Telegraph quoted Sussmann, as telling AFP.
Though Pitt had already attended the birth by caesarean of their daughter Shiloh, Sussman said that he "was very calm and was not at all disturbed'' by the operation. When the babies arrived he was very euphoric'' and Jolie had a "blinding smile." Both Pitt and Jolie top the list of highest paid Hollywood stars, making 10-20 million dollars a film.
Relationship worsens between Saif and 'Jab we Met' director Imtiaz Ali
It seems that all is well between Saif Ali Khan and director Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame. The director, who is currently directing Saif's maiden home production, it seems is being constantly plagued by the chhote nawab's say on everything related to the film. According to sources, Saif is making sure that he butts into every department of the film, which is fine as he is the producer. But he seems to have crossed some invisible line and that is believed to raise the hackles of Imtiaz. They have already had a few run ins or differences of opinion, to out it mildly. One can only hope that the cool weather in London and Kareena Kapoor's presence might help to bring down the tension during the film's shooting. As all would remember, Saif had signed in Imtiaz right after Jab We Met as he was very impressed by him. He wanted him to direct the first film for his production house. The director, too was very happy about the prospect but he wanted Deepika to act in the film. Saif agreed then, but regretted later. He admitted to the media that he wished he had put his foot down and insisted on being cast opposite Kareena. It's just another way of ensuring that Bebo and he get to spend time with each other. As of now, Bebo is right next to Saif in London. Maybe she would help the two men see sense.
Long and Much awaited Mehbooba film released
The week that went by was one of those rare weeks which saw only one film releasing. The film was Afzal Khan's long in waiting Mehbooba. The film did not have a very encouraging response from the box office. It opened to collections as low 20 to 30 per cent in most areas. In multiplexes it had even few takers. But outside the Mumbai region, in the Hindi heartland, the film is believed to have done slightly better. But Abbas Tyrewala's Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane continued to bring cheer to the box office. Its dream run continued, specially at the multiplexes where it recorded collections of about 90 per cent. It is truly on its way to join and maybe overtake, films like Jodha Akbar, Race, Jaanat, the big hits of this year. It's not really going to make much of a difference to his fate now as he has already signed some good films with top banners, Harman Baweja's debut vehicle, Love Story 2050 continues to be a non starter even in the second week, with no improvement in ticket sales. The previous week's Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee, has failed to connect with the audiences and hence there is no magic or love happening here. The film, directed by Kunal Kohli, is not happening. Next week promises some excitement in the form of Aziz Mirza's Kismat Konnection, starring Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan. And then, there is underworld drama by Ram Gopal Verma, Contract. There could not have been two films more different in genre and outlook than these two. While Mirza's film has known faces in the form of Shahid and Vidya, Ramu is going ahead with new faces and it remains to be seen if both manage to shake the box office.
