| Film on Benazir: Bollywood proposes, Zardari disposes
ISLAMABAD: Slain former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto's husband Asif Ali Zardari has shot down a Bollywood proposal to make a film on the life of his wife.
The film was supposed to be co-produced by filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and Karachi-based Skies Unlimited Films with veteran actress Shabana Azmi playing Bhutto.
Bhatt, who was waiting to get the nod from Bhutto's family, was reportedly banking on Naheed Khan, the late premier's close aide, for getting his proposal cleared.
Naheed Khan's sister Aneela Khan is a producer with Skies Unlimited and was to assist Bhatt on the project.
Bhatt, who planned to base the film on the revised edition of Bhutto's book Daughter of the East , wanted to sign a formal contract with Zardari for the movie rights of the book and was sure Naheed could get the clearance for him, The News reported on Tuesday.
21 years on - freedom for Kenny Richey
Being released into the American society might has drawn a different response from the judiciary.This just demonstrates how far left the centre point of reference in his country has become. Idolisation of suspected child killers, appeasing muslim extremists and bomb plotters , allowing marriage betwen girly men, indoctrination of our school children into the supposed "horrors" of the alledged global warming. It's all very depressing, but very typical of a far left agenda. .
MOVIE REVIEW: 'Vantage Point' is diverting but ludicrous
The assassination of an American president is examined from multiple angles in "Vantage Point," a fast-paced thriller whose gimmicky narrative helps disguise the foolishness at its center. Still, audiences looking for rapid-fire thrills could do worse than this star-heavy debut from first-time feature director Pete Travis and first-time screenwriter Barry Levy. President Ashton (William Hurt) is attending an anti-terrorist summit in Spain when he's gunned down by a hidden sniper. Minutes later the platform from which he was to have addressed a vast throng explodes. "Vantage Point" examines the same 12 minutes of chaos from eight different points of view. By fracturing the narrative, breaking it down into a jigsaw puzzle, the filmmakers hope to deliver an added dimension of suspense.
NBC's 'ER' Fills Rx for Liberal Preachiness with New Episode, Old ...
Gloria Reuben raised more than a few eyebrows in 2000 when she went from the front lines of NBC's acclaimed "ER" to the back line of Tina Turner's rock 'n' roll tour.

Reuben, who won accolades for her groundbreaking portrayal of Jeanie Boulet, a physician's assistant grappling with an HIV diagnosis, returns to the role Thursday night.

Yahoo, MSN Brands Could Both Survive A Microsoft Buyout
Microsoft would be better off continuing to offer both Yahoo and MSN sites to maximize traffic and ad dollars, says Jonathan Hurd, director of Altman Vilandrie & Co., a business consulting firm. "This deal is really about advertising and monetizing eyeballs," he said. "You want to see both of these brands continuing, so they don't lose any of these users." Combining Yahoo and MSN services such as finance, real estate, video, travel, e-mail and instant messaging would be a tough but potentially rewarding process, says Shahid Khan, a partner for IBB Consulting Group. "There would be a lot of redundancy there," he said. "It would take two to three years to get it done." Yahoo ranked as the Web's top property in the U.S. in December, with more than 183 million visitors to its sites, according to comScore Networks.

Two more sentenced in Murrieta 'Fight Club' case
Parents, teach your sons to be nice to others, to think about their long term plans. Its obvious the parents of these gangmembers just didn't care. Bo wrote on Feb 23, 2008 10:14 AM:It's very refreshing to see the justice system reconize a gang as a gang regardless of race, location, or family financial status. Railroad Engineered wrote on Feb 23, 2008 10:31 AM:25 years for first degree burglary. first degree burglary is eaither at night,or with a weapon. 25 years this is outragous. 19 years for the same deal. no one is hurt you don't even know if they threatend anyone with the guns or just had them on their persons. Gang cercumstance is just crap,this is a bunch of dumb kids doing really stupid stuff. This behavior dose not warrant those kinds of sentence's.
