South Korea's President Lee Myung Bak will address the nation later this morning, to reassure the nation, as it faces its gravest crisis in years.

The televised address comes as a US-South Korean naval war games are being conducted off the troubled peninsula. Meanwhile, China's call for emergency talks on resolving the crisis has met with a cool response. South Korea has already said it's not interested, while the United States says it's important for China to use its influence to curb what it calls "Pyongyang's provocations."

London, Nov. 27: Shah Rukh Khan “is a professional guy” who will “definitely” honour a contract to appear at a Pakistani gala dinner in London on Sunday evening, organisers said today.
Whether the Bollywood superstar eventually keeps his promise to appear at the event being promoted by Prime TV, a Pakistani channel in the UK, remains to be seen in view of the attack mounted on him by the Shiv Sena.

“It is inappropriate for Khan to be part of the event when India is observing the second anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks,” the report in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna said.

Approached by The Telegraph, those selling tickets to the event called the Shiv Sena comment “unfortunate”.
But tickets were still being sold today with no indication that Shah Rukh has reconsidered his decision to make an appearance.
“He will come 110 per cent,” said a man from a call centre selling the tickets. “He will not come only if his plane crashes.”

The event, promoted as “a gala dinner with Shah Rukh Khan”, is due to be held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, one of London’s newer hotels located by the Thames a short distance from the Houses of Parliament.
“Platinum” seats are being offered for £176, “gold” for £141 and “silver” for £118, including value added tax.

Shah Rukh’s presence would certainly add a great deal of value to proceedings for diners would demand their money back were he not to appear.

A fashion show is promised on promotional posters but no mention is made of fundraising. However, given the floods in Pakistan, it would be odd if money was not raised on such an occasion for victims.

This is not the first occasion when the Sena has targeted Shah Rukh but the actor, who appeals as much to Pakistanis as he does to his Indian fans, could argue that November 26 is the right time to try and bring India and Pakistan closer together.
“He can help bridge the gap between the two sides,” one of the ticket sellers said.
Not everyone takes such a generous view of Prime TV’s intentions.
A senior executive on a rival television channel said: “They have been struggling to sell tickets but it is a money-making exercise. Shah Rukh will make a brief appearance for which he will be paid a fee. This kind of event will also attract a lot of girls wanting to meet him.”

A show business source told The Telegraph: “Shah Rukh does not come cheap – (his fee will be) not less than £30,000. The reason why it won’t be difficult for him to come is because he is filming in Germany. He can pop over. I can’t see him not coming because so many people have bought tickets. This is basically a ‘meet and greet’.

Police in California believe a Hollywood publicist, whose death has shocked the film industry, was most likely to have fallen victim to a contract killer.
          
Ronni Chasen, 64, was killed early on Tuesday morning while driving through Beverly Hills on her way home from a film premiere and party.
Detectives are working on the belief that Ms Chasen's killer, who may have been driving a sports utility vehicle or a truck, drove up beside her Mercedes and shot her through her passenger-side window.
Analysts have said that the location where Miss Chasen was shot, her high profile and the absence of any apparent robbery suggested that her killing was premeditated or even contracted.

Ronni Chasen, 64, was killed early on Tuesday morning while driving through Beverly Hills on her way home from a film premiere and party.

Analysts have said that the location where Miss Chasen was shot, her high profile and the absence of any apparent robbery suggested that her killing was premeditated or even contracted.

It has all the elements of a classic Hollywood thriller. A black Mercedes Benz with a broken driver’s side window is found late at night crashed into a lamp post on Sunset Blvd in Beverly Hills. Behind the wheel, police discover a 64-year-old female with five gunshots to the chest. Her purse on the passenger seat is untouched. Nothing appears to be stolen from the vehicle. Nobody, at least at this writing, has a clue what happened.
Of course, it also has all the elements of a really heartbreaking tragedy, especially to those who knew the woman in that car — veteran publicist Ronni Chasen — which turns out to be pretty much everybody in this town. Chasen was an institution in Hollywood, a fixture since the 1970s, when she moved to LA from her native New York to head publicity for American International Pictures. Over the years, she had many titles — serving as executive vp at Rogers & Cowan and a senior VP at MGM — but for the last 20, she ran her own agency, Chasen & Company, which, among other things, specialized in extremely effective Academy Award strategizing. Although her name was seldom evoked at the podium, her PR campaigns contributed to at least 150 Oscar nominations and wins for films like The Hurt Locker, Slumdog Millionaire, No Country For Old Men, Shakespeare in Love, and Driving Miss Daisy.
But beyond her professional credentials, Chasen was something of a personality, even for Hollywood. Her voice, for instance, was as unmistakable as it was endearing (sort of a cross between Fran Drescher and Mrs. Howell). She could be so charming — and persistent — it was nearly impossible for journalists to say no to her. And she clearly adored the film business. At an age when many of her contemporaries start retiring, she was still putting in appearances on red carpet lines (and always looking like a million bucks; she had to be the most perfectly coiffed publicist in town). In fact, late Monday night, when she was murdered, she was on her way home from the Burlesque premiere party at the W Hotel in Hollywood. According to ABC News, she called her office from her cell phone at 12:21 am, six minutes before she was shot, leaving a to-do list for herself for the following day on an answering machine.

According to the recent updates of                 Bollywood news,
Kareena Kapoor is lucky to have upcoming films under production ventures with all the four major Khans of the Bollywood.
This most hot, talented and fitness freak actress, Kareena Kapoor is proving to be the luckiest actress among all the actresses in B-Town for being working with every Khan of tinsel town.
Bebo is ruling the roost after two back-to-back successes with the biggest blockbusters, “3 idiots” and now expectedly “Golmaal 3”.

Sequels, as anyone schooled in Hollywood knows, are difficult to pull off. The dilemma — how much of the first should find its way into the next? — has confounded many creative minds in this town, so it was probably too much to hope that Michael Caine could beat the odds, though he's made a career of doing just that. "The Elephant to Hollywood," a follow-up to the actor's popular 1992 autobiography, comes lumbering along as more addendum than memoir, more rehash than new dish, but served up with enough warmth and charm that you may be fine with leftovers.
Eighteen years ago, in "What's It All About?," Caine took his first cut at how a hardscrabble childhood in the South London project called the Elephant and Castle (thus the book's title) turned into an unexpectedly successful, sometimes brilliant career. He was nearing 60 at the time, thought his acting days were behind him, and the light and lively look back in that book was entertaining, brisk and quickly turned into a bestseller.

Then came the surprise of the next 18 years, into which Caine packed 35 more films, an occasional turn on TV, earned an Oscar for "The Cider House Rules" in 2000 and a nomination for "The Quiet American" in 2003. Despite his impressive work of recent times with a new generation of actors and directors, however, it is the distant past that still preoccupies him in "The Elephant to Hollywood."

She may consider herself new in Hollywood, but her curves need no introduction. After all, as a Playboy model-turned-actor, Kelly Brook has ruled the fantasy meter of most men ever since her debut in Tinselville. Considered one of the sexiest women in showbiz, the curvy star’s unapologetic about her sex symbol tag. “My fans love my curves and, I think, me too.”

The actress is also quite candid when it comes to confessing her love for all the male attention she gets. “I like it when they come to see me outside studios or events just to have a glimpse of me. It reminds me that there are lots of people who care for you. Your ups and downs affect them too. So I love all those gazes,” she adds.

Right now though, Kelly’s not looking for love. “I don’t want to think about it right now. I’ve just been through a roller-coaster relationship a few months back.” Personally, she may be enjoying her single space, but professionally she’s excited about the positive response her recent Alexandra Aja directed 3D film has been drawing.

“This one’s my first true Hollywood film; the character I play in it is close to the real me,” she says. The actor’s hopeful of working in Bollywood someday. “I’d love to do a film here. But it really depends on the script,” she says. As for visiting India, she’s just waiting for an invitation. “I’d love to come…guys, call me to India,” she signs off.

As per a deal signed in LA recently, the leading production houses in bollywood and hollywood have come together with a view to promote joint production and commercial cooperation. Under the terms of the deal signed by both the parties, hollywood and bollywood will now be coordinating at a higher level with a view to attain stronger ties in the field of production, distribution, technology and content protection.
It is to be mentioned here that a key objective for this agreement will be that the Indian producers can avail benefits from the 20-25 per cent tax incentives Hollywood producers get in Los Angeles.
Rajiv Dalal, India head of the Motion Picture Association (MPA) said that the Indian industry is now looking forward to a constant commercial cooperation with the US film industry on joint investment and co-productions.
Moreover, Dalal also mentioned the fact that it is expected to increase economic development and job growth in both nations. Considering the fact that there are close to 4.2 million people working in the film industries in the two countries, the deal will be beneficial to both the countries.
