Cheryl Cole moving back to her and ex Ashley's marital home

London, Aug 9 : Cheryl Cole is reportedly moving back to her marital home in Surrey she once shared with her ex-husband Ashley in a bid to rekindle her relationship with the womanising footballer.

Cheryl, 28, has already begun shifting her stuff back to 4million-pound Hurtmore House, and will start living there later this month.

However, a close friend said that the dear ones of the 'Girls Aloud' star are worried about her move following her tragic axing from 'X Factor'.

"All Cheryl's mates feel very wary of this move after the tough time she's had lately thanks to The X Factor," the Daily Star quoted the friend as saying.

"Cheryl thinks that she will never feel the same way about anyone else and that's driven her to make a swift decision.

"Nothing her friends say to her will change her mind.

Kareena not getting married soon: Karisma Kapoor

New Delhi, Aug 9: Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor Tuesday denied reports that her younger sister Kareena is set to tie the knot with beau Saif Ali Khan towards the end of 2012

"Kareena is not getting married anytime soon," Karisma said here.

Rumour mills have been abuzz with information that the couple - 'Saifeena' - is ready to settle down, and that their nuptials would happen at a palace in Bhopal in royal style. 

A report also said that Kareena's wedding trousseau would be designed by Ritu Kumar

But Karisma's denial proves otherwise.

The charismatic 37-year-old was here to promote skincare product Olay Total Effects, which she feels is the reason behind her "ageless beauty".

"When I started using this product in 2007, it was a life-changing experience. I strongly believe that if you look good, you feel good, and that's just what happened with me," said Karisma, who will be seen on the big screen once again soon.

The actress, who has done films like "Dil To Pagal Hai", "Biwi No.1" "Raja Hindustani", and "Zubeidaa", was last seen in "Mere Jeevan Saathi" which released in 2006.

Marilyn Monroe pornographic film auction fizzles

Buenos Aires, Aug 9 : The auction of one of only two known copies of a pornographic film purportedly featuring a young Marilyn Monroe fizzled in Buenos Aires because the bids did not meet or exceed the USD 500,000 set as the initial price.

The largest offer came from a private collector in Denver, who bid $280,000, but the amount did not satisfy the owner of the film, the auction promoter, Spaniard Mikel Barsa, told EFE.

"It's part of the game; now a negotiation will come in which the buyer will want to pay the lowest price and the seller will seek to get the highest" for the short movie, which allegedly was filmed in 1946 or 1947, he said.

The black-and-white film, about six minutes long, had been in the hands of a Spanish collector who recently died.

Upon going through his noteworthy film collection, the man's heirs discovered the unique tape and - after several months - made contact with Barsa, who already had sold the only other copy of the film that has surfaced to date.

When that first copy came to light in 1997, it sparked a huge controversy about its authenticity, with many people doubting that the actress in it was really Norma Jeane Baker (1926-62), who later came to be known as Marilyn Monroe.

Barsa said that although there are still people who doubt its authenticity, it has been proven - using FBI documents that were created when that agency investigated the film around the time it was produced - that the Hollywood icon is really the person who appears in it.

Upon announcing the auction last month, Barsa also said that the jewellery the actress wears in the film was also worn by her in other films and photographs made about the same time.

A firm representing Monroe's estate had threatened to sue Barsa if he sold the film, insisting that the girl seen in the piece was not Marilyn.

The first copy of the film was shown in 1997 on several occasions and marketed by several magazines, one of them the Spanish publication Interviu, before it was sold to a private collector in 2001 for $1.2 million.

'Tekken' - Nothing new in this martial arts film

By Satyen K.Bordoloi, Film: "Tekken"; Director: Dwight H. Little; Actors: Jon Foo, Kelly Overton and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa; 

After his master is murdered, a young martial arts exponent enters a contest, to fight seemingly undefeatable opponents and after almost losing emerges winner and kills the murderer with a little help from a beautiful female love interest, who also happens to be a contestant. How many times have you heard and seen this plot in cinema before? Here's one more addition - "Tekken". 

Of course, there are 'original' elements. Like it is not his master, it is the mother who's killed. A mother who also happens to teach him martial arts. And yes, it is a futuristic, 1984-styled city where messages like 'strength through order' blare out through loud speakers. You're not supposed to ask why in a city of the future they still have martial art games. Also, the law enforcers in the city are, well, clad in Ninja outfits. Ingenious, isn't it?

One has to admit though that this movie - adapted from Japanese Anime film of 1997 which was an adaptation of an arcade game - does not take itself seriously. It delivers its kicks, punches and explosions and like a nubile ninja gets out of your face before your eyes start drooping from its hackneyed plot. The film has very low ambitions and thus reaches it. 

What is a martial arts movie without its dosage of pretentious one-liners that young teens can hang on their walls. "Tekken" has its share. Sample this: 'If you can breathe, you can still fight. You lose only when you decide.' Touche. 

There are action junkies who, like little kids who love watching anything that moves, look forward to familiar films with a protagonist beating the crap out of everyone else. This film is exactly designed to cater to that segment of the audience - that is in large numbers worldwide. 

Thus for a film that is not looking to break new ground and instead tread on familiar ones and give audiences a 90-minute fantasy and action-filled escape, this one does quite a flawless job. Just for that it is worth a watch for fans of this genre. To watch, and immediately forget.

Demi Lovato appeals against drugs, alcohol

Actress-singer Demi Lovato has urged young fans to say no to drugs and alcohol.

"'Sober Is Sexy' is my new motto, and it couldn't be more true! All you need to have fun in life is a great attitude and good friends," Lovato said.

"I've made a commitment to myself to live a happy, healthy life the best way I know how and I want to spread the message that you don't need to do drink or do drugs to have fun," dailystar.co.uk quoted her as saying.

Lovato thinks a lot of people "start off experimenting with drugs and alcohol", just for fun.

"Often times this 'innocent fun' can lead to very serious issues like drunk driving, bad choices and in some cases - addiction. Addiction is a very serious disease, and it doesn't just go away," she said.

The 18-year-old was recently treated for emotional and physical issues in a rehabilitation centre.

"I've suffered from an eating disorder which is an addiction, and I will have to work on my recovery every day for the rest of my life. It's an ongoing battle but one that is well worth it, and I've never felt happier. Remember: 'Sober is Sexy! Trust me, you look a lot cuter sober than sloppy! Stay strong," she added.
