Sarah Jessica Parker fends off pressures of life by 'not discussing married life'

London, August 4 : Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that she and her actor husband Matthew Broderick keep the pressures of life at bay by choosing not to discuss their marriage.

“We don’t talk about our marriage a lot, which is probably wise,” the Daily Mail quoted the 46-year-old ‘Sex And The City’ star as admitting to Marie Claire magazine.

“There are so many other things in our lives that take precedence over the splitting of the atom of our marriage,” she added.

Lea Michele names Julia Roberts as top choice for 'Glee' cameo

London, August 4 : Lea Michele has revealed that Julia Roberts is the dream guest star she would like to have for a cameo role in her show ‘Glee’.

Michele, who plays a talented high school student Rachel Berry in the hit US musical series, hopes the ‘Pretty Woman’ actress will be the next famous face to do a cameo in the show after Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears.

Although the leading lady of ‘Glee’ hopes that Roberts will be next in line, she however admits that she would be “dumbstruck” if she ever had to share a scene with the Oscar winning actress.

“We may not be able to work together because I would get so dumbstruck. There are a few people that I would get like that with. Even now I am getting tongue-tied just thinking about it. I would be a wreck if she were actually standing in front of me,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“It is just too much to think about. It is weird for me when I find myself talking to people that I have watched on the television or in movies all my life. I do get a little starstruck,” she added.

Katy Perry misses out on topping U.S. pop chart high five

Washington, Aug 4 : Katy Perry is said to have missed out on making history after her hit ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)’ failed to climb up from the second spot.

Perry, 26, had made her mark on the Billboard Pop Songs Chart when she became the first  artist to reach the top spot with five singles from the same album earlier this week, Contactmusic reported.

But she has been unable to match that success on the mainstream countdown, which will be released on August 4.

Had she toppled Lmfao’s Party Rock Anthem, Perry would have been one of only two artists to land five number ones from one album.

'I Am Kalam' gives message without preaching

By Subhash K. Jha,Film: "I Am Kalam"; Cast: Harsh Mayar, Hussan Saad, Pitobash, Gulshan Grover and Beatrice Ordeix; Director: Nila Madab Panda;

The boy is a dreamer. One look at the former President of India A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on television and Chotu decides to call himself Kalam. Kalam believes every child has the right to education. 

Without the least display of pity or preachiness, debutant director Nila Madab Panda creates a world of infinite hope and minuscule joys for his precocious unlettered but smart protagonist Chotu. 

The wispy but firm-handed narration weaves through Chotu's relationships with various characters in his life… his uncle, the dhaba owner Bhatti, which is played with endearing warmth by Gulshan Grover, the jealous Bachchan-crazy recruit at the dhaba Laptan (Pitobash, natural in his unsophisticated meanness), the free-spirited French tourist Lucy (Betarice ordeix), and above all, Chotu's rapport with the Rajasthani royalty Ranvijay Singh (Husaan Saad), a kind lonely aristocrat boy who eagerly befriends Chotu to share his luxurious but solitary life with.

The shared moments between Chotu and his motley crew of compelling characters are tender and genuine. The characters are never slotted or allowed to become stereotypical. They convey a kind of free-flowing casualness that makes them real and yet dramatic in a subtle way.

The film's social message of education-for-all is underlined but never italicized. It's left to the boy protagonist Harsh Mayar to bring out the theme's inherent message without making the plot heavy or didactic. 

Mayar with his unassuming swagger and artless smile brings to the film a rare intelligence and humour. National award, did they say? The boy deserves much more.

The first-time director tends to over-simplify the complexities of the plot towards the end when in a quest for a flashy climax he collects all the characters at an extremely manufactured crisis point.

But the clumsiness of some episodes doesn't take away from the film's intrinsic warmth and gentleness. The narration glides through Chotu-Kalam's adventures with ease and fluency creating the fantasy-driven hopeless world of an underprivileged child without pity of sentimentality.

The last shot shows the 'prince' and the 'pauper' traveling happily together in the same school bus. Socialism has arrived. Abdul Kalam must be smiling at this Utopian dream of finale. But then isn't that what cinema does? Offer hope, create a dream world and exchange the harsh reality of the outside world with a magical alternative.

"I Am Kalam" does all of this. Must be watched for its sincere effort to carry forward the world of the child with the same mellow maturity of vision as the recent "Stanley Ka Dabba" and "Chillar Party".
