Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl

Bollywood confection “Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl,” a colorfully busy splash of romantic comedy nonsense that won’t fool any seasoned moviegoer with its bad-boy-taming schematics.

The title is something of a head-scratcher, because we don’t learn hunky star Ranveer Singh’s character’s real name until the last moments, after he’s played a variety of swindling smooth talkers under various names, opposite a wealthy party girl (Parineeti Chopra), a chic executive (Dipannita Sharma) and a widowed fabric shop owner (Aditi Sharma).

When the vengeance-minded women find one another, they track down Singh’s scammer to a beach resort in Goa, where they attempt to get their cash back with an elaborate scam using a fast-talking saleswoman (Anushka Sharma) as beautiful bait.

One’s diminishing interest in the nuts and bolts of cheating a cheat can be forgiven when the sheer star wattage of the peppy cast is in close-up overdrive. Combined with the usual bursts of candy-colored song and dance, director Maneesh Sharma has made a glossy magazine spread come to life more than an original tale of girl retribution.

The Time Machine

Back in July of 2001, Hotline’s Media Monitor featured then Time Magazine White House correspondent Jay Carney. Now that he’s White House Press Secretary and we thought we’d provide a look back at his interview.

Where’s your hometown? What was it like growing up there?

I’m a rare Washington, D.C. native. Born at Georgetown Hospital. Grew up in the Virginia ‘burbs, though. Was an odd place in some ways, very transitory. The D.C. suburbs lack a sense of identity, though politics was a bigger deal here than in most hometowns of course. In 1974, I think it was, I remember finding a discarded strand of audio tape along the curb of my street — probably from an 8-track — and being convinced I had stumbled across the missing minutes of the Watergate tapes. I was 9.

What was the last book you read?

Not counting political and history books, “Death in Summer” by William Trevor. Trevor is brilliant, though very spare and bleak. John McCain recommended him to me on his trip to Vietnam a year ago. “Blindness” by Jose Saramago before that. Am now re-reading “Love in the Time of Cholera,” which I came across recently. Extremely romantic, but not soft. Garcia Marquez’ prose is muscular, potent stuff.

Who’s your favorite musician/band?

Without question, the greatest rock and roll band in the history of the world is Guided By Voices, Dayton, Ohio’s gift to American culture. The older stuff — from the mid-90s — is best. If you love melodic, lo-fi pop with a touch of lyrical genius, go buy “Bee Thousand,” “Propeller” or “Alien Lanes.”

What’s your favorite color?

I’m with Tapper. Who has a favorite color at 36?

What’s your favorite place to shop?

Starbucks. And Olsson’s.

What’s your favorite restaurant in Washington?

Zuki Moon, maybe. Or Ten Penh. Most frequented: Burrito Brothers. What’s your favorite food? Used to think I could live on humus and pita. Not anymore. Now I think it’s Vietnamese clay pot caramel pork.

How did you end up in journalism?

Thought I was a “writer” in high school. Got involved in college journalism, for a magazine instead of the school paper. Then fell into studying Russian and the Soviet Union in college and decided I wanted to go to Moscow as a reporter. Graduated in 1987 — perfect timing.

Out of everything you’ve covered, what’s been your favorite story?

The collapse of the Soviet Union. My entire three years in Moscow, from 1990-1993, bifurcated by the failed coup of August 1991. Every day was a journalist’s dream.

What’s the best thing about your job?/What’s the worst thing about your job?

Best: getting paid to talk to people, read a lot and then write about it all. Worst: realization that your story is next week’s fish wrap. (Does anyone wrap fish in newsprint anymore?)

Does Bush have a nickname for you?

Jay-boy during the campaign. More recently Carni (pronounced Car-neye).

What did you do to pass the time during Campaign 2000?

Hang out, eat and drink with the Bush Press Bubble — a great group of folks.

What’s your most embarrassing on-the-job moment? (Or as embarrassing as you’d like to reveal?)

So many to choose from. I actually was the anchor for a pilot episode of a Hotline television show about six or seven years ago. I was appalling at it. Another time, in 1990 or ’91, I was having an ear piece put in when I was in Moscow and overheard Robin MacNeil or Jim Lehrer say, incredulously, “How old is this guy, 15?”

Do you have a prediction for the WH 2004 matchup?

McCain-Gore. (Despite solid approval ratings, Bush decides not to run for re-election, takes MLB commissioner job instead).

And finally, we’re ending this feature with a question posed by the last interviewee. This one’s from Newsweek’s Howard Fineman. Is there a political TV show you would refuse to do? If so, which one?

Given some of the shows I have done already, I don’t think anyone would believe me if I drew the line now.

Brooke Hogan

Brooke Hogan

Just when you thought that Hulk Hogan's family could not get any creepier or more desperately seeking attention, Brooke Hogan nude for a campaign for PETA-like forms and proves that Yes, indeed, they can.
The reality TV "Star" took it all off and occurred in a dog cage as a part of the Women In cages, a PETA benefit exhibition in Miami, Florida. Then she brought her parents to see. Hulk blocked his daughter body parts in a few pictures circulating on the web, but most pathetic is how D-grade career of the actress/singer of the wannabe.

While other stars take all off for PETA campaign, "I'd rather go naked than wear fur", it was Hogan's unofficial.

PETA said:

The photoshoot that took part in Brooke Hogan was not a PETA-sponsored event. However, we are grateful to Brooke for participation in the photographic exhibition in Miami, for which the proceeds of the photos go to PETA's lifesaving programs.

Yes, don't want to even PETA that D-grade Association. In her show, Hogan was always trying to capitalize on her father's name and drive the reform process of women who did the blonde, big boobs, fake tan thing better. She has always been the poor man Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, but now the latter is just downright shameful.

Will they ever enter the dream?

There must be a point at which they are honest with themselves. She seemed good enough on Hogan Knows Best, but that was six years ago. There comes a time where one has to wonder whether they are famous because people like them or because people laugh at them. Unfortunately, for her, it seems the last.

Mean for her is like shooting fish in a barrel, but come on. There is a certain point which must be clear with himself and Brooke is still fooling himself if she thinks she is a "Star".

English Premier League

English Premier League

Roy Keane is clearly biased. But when it comes to the pre-season prognosticating, the former captain of Manchester United has arrived at a rather sensible conclusion.

United, he crowed earlier this week, will not only win the Premier League, they do so comfortable. "Of all the teams," he said, "If a the balance right, I think it is United."

It's hard to argue with him. The Red Devils are, after all, the Reigning champions — winners of four of the last five English titles. And while many of their closest rivals now take their summer transfer company close, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson are tinkering six weeks ago.

Phil Jones was acquired to stabilize the defense and the midfield; Ashley Young was bought a creative presence and the threat of set pieces; David de Gea was bought to replace former goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. All three are intended to address perceived points of vulnerability in the team; all three have their best years still of them.

United's biggest challenge in 2011-12 comes from their local rivals, ambitious, and rich Manchester City. Third place finishers improved last season, the Sky Blues what was already a very good side by poaching left-back Gael Clichy of arsenal and the landing of another world class offensive player in Sergio Aguero. They also did a good piece of enterprises in signing Stefan Savic of Partizan Belgrade some defensive cover.

The United city rivalry is one that will probably be the next few years of top flight of English football. United will always on or near the top of the mountain, while Ferguson remains responsible and the purchasing power of the city ensures that they will be frontrunners to sign some of the world's best players going forward.

Outside the Manchester teams will race to the "top four" filling and earn lucrative Champions League football one of the more compelling story lines of the upcoming season. Look for Liverpool to vastly improve on their seventh and sixth-place finishes the past two campaigns and, if they somehow able to keep the objectives, once a run on the title.

Since Kenny Dalglish took over as manager last January, been transformed a Liverpool club. Of course, they have also released as a contending team, with new owner Fenway Sports Group investing heavily in the team. Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez were acquired in the winter transfer window, and even more of an impact this season, and Dalglish midfielders Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam, winger Stewart Downing added and left-back Jose Enrique during the summer.

If it all comes together — and there is no guarantee that it will — Champions League football will be back at Anfield a year from now.

Completion of the Premier League upper echelon are last season's runner up. Chelsea, which is a whopping nine points adrift of United ended in 2010-11, so far have unusually quiet in the current transfer period been and actually made new manager Andre Villas-Boas their signing of the summer.

There Was always a degree of risks for the move, such as the 33-year-old Villas-Boas had only two seasons in Portuguese football (one with Académica de Coimbra) and one with Porto, where he won the league, the Cup and Europa League managed before you the high-profile switch Stamford Bridge.

But this player-powered Chelsea side seems to have a fresh voice in the locker room every few years, and the charismatic Villas-Boas — personally cared by Jose Mourinho — is entrusted to them.

Fantasy team buy/sell

Sale: Nani The Manchester United winger had a warm start last season for cooling significantly after Christmas. This is a crucial point in his career, so look to him for his best campaign as a professional football player so far. Fifteen goals is a reasonable projection, and he will be a handful also helps.

Laurent Koscielny and Sebastien Squillaci sell: Arsenal central defensive link (as long as the injury-prone Thomas Vermaelen offside) in some abbreviated Championship sides wouldn't get, and it is a point of weakness that the Gunners far away from the top-four will keep this season.

Download music

In the light of the European Commission (EC) answer to a question on the iTunes store blackout Malta, Maltese MEP Simon Busuttil intends to push the Commission further on the matter, by a more simple question regarding a possible violation of the internal market.

 

Dr. Busuttil had noted that although iTunes a predominantly online music platform where many European consumers legally buy and download music is, it is not available to consumers in Malta. Legal obstacles, in particular local laws relating to intellectual property, are often cited as reasons '' prevents them from their service in Malta.

 

The Member had asked whether the Commission could rely in competition law to force them to make their services available in Malta, platforms such as iTunes be found to enjoy a dominant position on the market with regard to legal music downloads and purchases from the internet.

 

He had also asked about the Maltese law on intellectual property and whether it constitutes an obstacle to the EU's internal market for the purposes of online download platforms such as iTunes.

 

In its reply, the Commission has found that in previous anti-trust proceedings regarding Apple's agreements with the major record companies for the iTunes store in Europe, no infringement of the prohibition of agreements restricting competition wrongly article had identified.

 

The article, that abuse of a dominant position prohibits, would only apply to Apple proved dominant in the first place, the Commission said.

 

"Although Apple's iTunes might be the most popular online music provider in Europe, it is not clear that a company, including Apple, a dominant position in this stage has reached since electronic access to digitized music is still in development and a large number of platforms similar services can."

 

In any case, the Commission continues to closely monitor the developments in the field of Apple commercial policy in order to ensure compliance with the competition rules of the European Union.

 

Dr. Busuttil had to answer the second question, the Commission said that intellectual property rights are recognized and awarded by each Member State shall, within their respective territories. Maltese law does not differ from the laws of other Member States in this respect.

 

"The rights of the involved in a music download, for example, the rights of record producers, composers, songwriters, singers, musicians and such, are important to our creative industries and for the livelihood and employment with makers."

 

Licenses these rights in a way that takes full advantage of the benefits of the internal market for the creators and consumers, should also be encouraged, the Commission said.

 

For this reason, the Commission will present a proposal concerning the governance and transparency of collective licensing before the end of this year. The proposal will contribute to creating a level playing field and a reliable legal framework for the licensing of rights to platforms such as iTunes. It will also strive to promote the development of multi-territory licensing for European consumers.

 

However, the EC noted that not all online services seek their services across borders and that reasons other than intellectual property a role to play in their decisions.

 

In the light of this reply intend Dr. Busuttil a more specific question to ask whether the Commission considers that it is fine for Maltese consumers are excluded from the purchase and download music from iTunes, or that it considers this to be contrary to the internal market.
