Hangover’ takes31 million dollar on first day:




LOS ANGELES: Raunchy comedy sequel “The Hangover Part II” got off to a roaring start at the North American box office taking in about dollar 31.7 million on its opening day, according to estimates by movie studio Warner Bros on Friday.

 The strong early start on Thursday put the movie on track to gross about dollar 110-dollar 125 million domestically for its five day run over the US Memorial Day long weekend, Hollywood box-office watchers said: That’s despite lukewarm reviews for the sequel, which reunites actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha in another mayhem-filled bachelor party.

Gaga's Judas track for her ex-boyfriend:


Lady Gaga says: That her controversial single 'Judas' is not a dig on religion, instead she is singing about an ex-boyfriend who betrayed her. 
 
 The Grammy winning singer's latest release was heavily criticised by religious groups for the Christian imagery used in its video, but the song is about her own heartbreak, said Gaga. The 25-year-old said the religious overtones hide a deep personal meaning as she is singing about a former lover, reported Contactmusic. 

 According to reports, the culprit is Luc Carl, whom Gaga has been dating on and off for the past year. Their split was announced just days after the release of 'Judas'. "And then I thought about the biblical implications and how Judas was the betrayer. And once I thought about what I wanted to do with the video, Judas didn't really betray Christ because he was part of the prophecy. We attack the idea by saying my ex betrayed me and this person haunts me, but I forgive them," Gaga added.

Mallika Sherawat turns down Obama:

 

 
 Mallika Sherawat: At the shoot of a fun song for 'Double Dhamaal', the self-proclaimed Hollywood star was sporting a rather passe look. With a short denim skirt with a pink top, a belt and colourful sandals, Mallika’s dress looked quite busy and screamed for attention but didn’t do justice to the oodles of weight she’s lost.

 Meanwhile, she is also creating waves for having turned down an invitation, of all places, to the White House. The reason being that she is to host a sunset cocktail party for her Hollywood release, 'Politics of Love' on Nikki Beach in Cannes. It was something that she had committed to months before. 

 Mallika, who was present at two earlier events with the US President Barack Obama, first met him during Obama’s Los Angeles visit for a fundraiser held at Sony Studios.The two then caught up at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
