French police briefly detained a 16-year-old boy who posted an unauthorised translation of the latest Harry Potter book online "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" on the internet.

Police has shut down the site where the boy posted the translation. Marie Leroy-Lena, spokeswoman of Rowling and Gallimard Jeunesse ( the publishing house), said official Harry Potter translator Jean-Francois Menard is still working on ...

It’s such a loving picture to see our macho and romantic hero’s playing a role of doting fathers of Bollywood in real life. When we see them on screen chasing heroines, singing songs and doing dishum-dishum, we always stay curious to know what they are like at home with their kids and family. Now, it’s not like old days, where big stars kids were kept away from media and limelight, treated like a big celebrity. I think things have  changed and bollywood dads are getting bolder and are not afraid of getting out of those closed doors of their homes and spend some quality time with their kids in public, doing stuff what an ordinary father would do. Recently, ...

Didn’t I and Dolly Bindra said !! Raja Chaudhary, husband of TV star Shweta Tiwari is a cheap and a very big nautanki.

In my previous post I have mentioned what he did to actress Dolly Bindra. And now when Shweta has left him, he is regretting and wants her back in his life. I hope Shweta don’t fall for his tricks and devdas avtar. B’coz “kutte ki pooch barah mahine nali mein rakho, phir bhi tadhi ki tadhi hi rahti hai”. Once again he has shown his true colours in public. Last ...

As I’ve said before both the ladies, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif are gorgeous and elegant with charismatic smile. And I don’t have to repeat myself again & again that how much Lara has worked on herself and is doing wonders on the screen. You can look at the picture and decide what a stunner she was on the Koffee with Karan? But for the first time, I couldn’t take my eyes off from Lara’s strappy sandals, they were gorgeous.  Katrina, I don’t know, she is good and gorgeous, but when it comes to acting, I think she always looks like a lost babe on the screen. Little bit of fakeness is always attached to her. But she is a real ...
