Gibson's kids terrorise neighborhoods (Go To Top)

      New York: It seems Hollywood actor Mel Gibson's neighbors are horrified with his kids, for the locals have branded them as the 'terrors of Malibu'. Gibson's neighbors were particularly pissed after the actor and his wife, Robyn, let some of their seven children roam the beach suburb absolutely unsupervised, where they apparently created havoc. One local told the New York Post that Gibson's kids, a daughter, 26, and six sons ranging in age from 7 to 24, "are the holy terrors of Malibu. They do whatever they want". According to a story repeated by neighbors, Gibson's high-school sons tried to buy two kayaks from a surf shop and demanded the store put them on credit. But after they were refused credit by the store, the kids reportedly threw a fit. "They got very angry and started shouting, 'Don't you know who we are?'" the kids said. However, staffers at Zuma Jay's and the Malibu Surf Shack, the two kayak stores in Malibu, said that they don't recall any such incident.

      Washington: Harry Potter's fans have finally received the announcement they have been patiently waiting for. Warner Brothers have announced that the 6th installment of the enormously popular fantasy series will hit theaters on November 21, 2008. According to E!online, the 6th film in the series titled 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' will coincide with Thanksgiving celebrations, and the production house is hoping that it will rope in millions just like the earlier Potter flicks. Though it's a rather long wait for Potter fans to watch the 6th saga, the 5th film 'Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix' will hit the theatres in July 2007. Presumably the core players in the Potter films, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, will return as, respectively, Harry, Ron and Hermione for the 6th film in the series. The 672-page Half-Blood Prince hit shelves last summer and sold a whopping 6.9 million copies its first day in U.S. bookstores. The story, which picks up with Harry in his sixth year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, focuses on the crisis Lord Voldemort and his followers pose as they challenge the authority of the Ministry of Magic. At the same time, Harry struggles to determine the identity of the half-blood prince, the mysterious owner of a book of magic that aids him as he discovers more details about Voldemort's dark past.

Aniston weddding plan crashes (Go To Top)

     London: Jennifer Aniston, who had expected her relationship with actor Vince Vaughn to culminate into marriage one day, has reportedly been left heartbroken after the couple's rumoured wedding plans crashed. According to Femalefirst, the actress, who has been dating her 'Break Up' co-star for a year, had her hopes of a wedding dashed when the Wedding Crasher star ruled out the prospect of them ever tying the knot. Following a romantic Mexican break, Vaughn has reportedly distanced himself from the 37 year old ex-wife of Brad Pitt. "Talk of marriage or engagement is complete hogwash. Vince appears to have gone distant, and Jen is looking no further than a day at a time. There have been rumours of an engagement, even claims they married in secret. But those stories are without foundation," a source told Britain's Star magazine. "Jen expected so much from this relationship but they are struggling to overcome these problems," the source added. Now with Vince shooting in South Dakota and Jen living in Los Angeles, it's apparent that the pair are spending most of their time apart. "After everything Jen has been through, she feels let down that Vince hasn't yet - after all this time - made his mind up about her," said the source.

Most men want Brad Pitt's body  (Go To Top)

      London: If you thought that only women are worried to death about their appearance think again, as men are becoming just as worried as women about how they look, with nine out of ten being unhappy with their bodies. And blokes feeling the pressure to look trim say they want to look like Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt. Almost half of men admitted dieting in the survey of 3,000 by Men's Fitness magazine. One in ten admitted trying controversial slimming pills to shed the pounds. Two-thirds of the blokes asked said they wanted a flatter stomach. "Men seemed to be particularly worried about their waists," Michael Donlevy, the magazine's deputy editor, was quoted by the Daily Mail, as saying. "Thinness equals youth and as we live longer we want to look younger. Men pick up their girlfriends' and wives' magazines and see the pressure that they are under. It has really grown over the last decade," he added. Experts have warned that an increasing number of men are succumbing to eating disorders, and it's women's fault. Phillip Hodson, of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, said women's success at work means men have to work harder to succeed.
