AP movie theaters to have 5 shows per day!

Going by the grapevine in Tollywood, The Government is all set to issue a G.O. which allows all the theaters in the state to screen 5 shows per day. This facility comes with a condition that any theater screening 5 shows should allot 2 out of it to small budget movies. Several small producers had been requesting for this for a long time. And now it looks like it will be materializing very soon.
On the other hand, the G.O regarding the hike in ticket prices is also expected from Government very soon. The G.O was supposed to come in to force from Sankranthi but Government put it on hold due to resistance from several small producers.

Elizabeth Banks: ‘Women Should Not Be Expected To Bounce Back’ After Pregnancy

Will we ever move on from our obsession with “post-baby bodies”? Elizabeth Banks certainly hopes so.
The actress’ remark that she’s “really a mom” now that she has two children made headlines last week. But that story overshadowed another interview in which the “Hunger Games” star talks about the experience of being a mom.
Banks’ episode of the “WTF” podcast went online on Jan. 14, and in it, she tells host Marc Maron about her decision to use a surrogate for her two children. “The fact that we were able to have our own children, despite the fact that my womb basically doesn’t work, is amazing to me,” she says.
Then, after Maron jokes about a time he was surprised to see her “really up and out” after she told him she had just had a baby and before he knew the circumstances, she takes the opportunity to discuss the pressure women feel to “bounce back” after pregnancy:
“I like to believe that if I had carried my own baby, I would have bounced back. But who knows? And by the way, it’s such a horrible — women should not be expected to bounce back … it’s a, I think, a true disservice what’s going on right now with all these celebrity moms … first of all, I just want to remind people that celebrities generally are genetically superior human beings on a certain level anyway … they’re mostly thin, you know, they got trainers, they work out, they’ve got money, they’ve got the ability, you know, and they are normally genetically predisposed to being thin people anyway, so like these women who are holding up, you know, certain people as their benchmark after they’ve had a child, like just go be with your kid for a minute … don’t get to the gym right away. It’s alright. This is not how it’s supposed to be, everybody. Calm down.”
Banks is hardly the first woman to address the unrealistic expectations placed on new moms, famous or not. Last summer, Hilary Duff responded to criticism of how she looked in a bikini months after giving birth to her son, telling “In Touch,” “This is how it goes for most women — the weight doesn’t fall off overnight.”
And, here on HuffPost Parents, blogger Devon Corneal railed against this pervasive problem as well, defending all moms who don’t lose weight immediately: “These are mothers, not blow-up dolls who deflate upon popping out a new life. Let’s give them a little respect.”

Kate Middleton’s Spray Tans Hinted At Her Pregnancy: REPORT

While we spent most of the weekend occupied with the Presidential Inauguration, we found a sliver of time to fixate on this tidbit: Kate Middleton spray tans.
We shouldn’t be too surprised, really, seeing as the duchess’ sister, Pippa, has a well-publicized problem with over-bronzing herself. But we always saw Kate as the more natural of the two…
Alas, according to the Daily Mail, Catherine “usually likes just enough to give herself a little glow before a public appearance.” In fact, it was this propensity for faux glows that gave her pregnancy away: according to a “mole with the St. Tropez tan” company, Kate abruptly cancelled a series of at-home tanning appointments beginning in October, a giveaway that she was expecting. (Medical experts have warned against spray tanning while pregnant due to the active chemicals in the tanner.)
Luckily her beautician didn’t spill the news, nor did Kate’s pale visage give the secret away. But now we all know that she’s pregnant… and that she uses spray tanning like her oft-orange sister.
Read more of the gossip at DailyMail.co.uk and examine the evidence yourself. Does Kate seem to have lost that tanner glow over the last few months?

Freida Pinto named Sexiest Indian Chick

The US edition of men’s magazine GQ has come under fire for including a series of ‘racist’ categories for its ’100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century’ list.
The poll for the magazine’s latest edition included categories like ‘Sexiest Chinese Chick’, ‘Sexiest Indian Chick’ and ‘Sexiest Pregnant Sri Lankan’, reported Daily Mail.Critics have slammed the glossy for suggesting some women “are only attractive in the context of their own ethnicity”.
GQ, which stands for Gentleman’s Quarterly, published the list this week in its US edition with R&B superstar Beyonce emblazoned on the front cover under the title ‘Miss Millennium’.
‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star Freida Pinto was crowned ‘Hottest Indian Chick’, while ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ actress Zhang Ziyi was named ‘Hottest Chinese Chick’. They named British rapper M.I.A ‘Hottest Pregnant Sri Lankan’.
There is no mention of Beyonce’s African-American heritage, Mila Kunis’ Ukranian roots or Kim Kardashian’s Armenian ancestry.
By calling out certain women’s ethnicity and not others, what they’re implying is that these women are not beautiful simply because they’re beautiful; they’re only attractive within the context of their own ethnicity,” said Professor Ruth C White, from Seattle University’s Department of Anthropology, Sociology, and Social Work.

Manoj Bajpai all set for Hollywood

Actor Manoj Bajpai, who garnered critical acclaim for his potrayal of a ganglord in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, has received several acting offers from abroad, courtesy filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. “I have received offers…I am going through a script. It has come from an American independent filmmaker and not from any studio.
I would love to do an international film,” Bajpai told PTI. “I think somewhere Anurag Kashyap is my ticket to international films. I keep pestering him to get me scripts. I have got offers and that came through Anurag,” the actor told. “I remember telling Tabu that if I get to one scene in Oscar winning director Ang Lee’s film I will do it.
As I believe life is short I don’t know when I will get next chance,” he said. “I did ‘Veer Zaara’ for Yash Chopra. I did the film thinking when will I get opportunity to get directed by Yash Chopra…so I did it purely for him. It was just to get an experience of working with him. But at the same time one should feel the urge to do the film,” Bajpayee said.

Shakeela back to Direct a Family Movie

Shakeela, who was the star of B-grade super hit Malayalam films, is back but says that she is here to direct and not to act in movies. She also clarified that her directorial venture would be a clean movie.
In 1990s and early 2000, she was hugely popular among movie buffs for her sensuous roles in many blockbusters.
Talking about her directorial venture “Neelakurinji”, Shakeela  clarified: “Please don’t expect the film that I am going to direct same as the films that I acted in. This is about pain of a woman and it is not a glamorous film either.”
She was here to participate in the ‘muhurat’ of her directorial debut “Neelakurinji”. The title is inspired by the flower neelakurinji that blooms once in 12 years.
My film would be one which could be seen by all,” Shakeela, 40, told reporters.She acted in more than 50 films in all southern languages and filled the gap left by Silk Smitha for a few years. “Kinnarathumbikal” was one of her all-time hits.She hopes to rope in her favourite actor Dileep to do a guest appearance in her directorial debut.

Music magazine NME’s nominations were decided by fans voting online, and the winners will be announced at The Troxy in east London on February 27.
“When I first heard it was four things, I thought, ‘Ooh, blimey! That’s very nice!’” Stones lead singer Mick Jagger said.”It’s funny, because when we were rehearsing at Wembley Arena last year, it was where we used to do the NME Pollwinners,” he said, referring to concerts the magazine staged in the 1960s featuring acts voted on by NME readers.
“We remembered, it was the first time we ever played ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’, at one of those Pollwinners concerts!”Nominated three times was another comeback king David Bowie, who took the music world by surprise earlier this month by releasing his first new music in a decade and promising a studio album in March.
“All the early plaudits will go to Haim, Tame Impala, M.I.A. and the legendary Rolling Stones … but it’s testament to the exquisite taste of the NME audience that artists as wide ranged as Frank Ocean, Jake Bugg, Pussy Riot and David Bowie are recognised too,” said NME editor Mike Williams.
Russian punk band Pussy Riot were shortlisted in the music moment of the year category for a protest against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow’s main cathedral that landed some of them in jail.Rounding out the category was Bowie’s comeback, the Olympic Games opening ceremony, The Stone Roses reuniting to play Heaton Park in Manchester and Green Day’s secret set at the Reading Festival.

SVSC vs Nayak 2nd Week Box Office Report

While Venkatesh-Mahesh Babu’s ‘Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu’ and Ram Charan’s Naayak are doing almost equal business in AP but there is too much of difference in overseas collections. While Naayak collected $ 471,300 [Rs 2.53 cr], SVSC raked $ 1,548,709 [Rs 8.31 cr] alone in USA. Means, SVSC is doing 3 times better business to Naayak.
Reason is overseas spectators mostly go to cinema with their families. So, they prefer class and family entertainers rather than mass and masala movies. Another reason is Mahesh and Venky have heavy market value compared to Charan.
If Naayak would have released in any other season without a film like SVSC, then Ram Charan would have done extremely awesome business but SVSC has considerably halted its run in Overseas. So, congrats to Srikanth Addala and his team.
