2014 gave many gems to adore like Queen, Finding Fanny and Haider, but for every good film there’s a Humshakals, It’s Entertainment and Action Jackson. With every editorial on the new changes in Bollywood, there’s the inexplicable popularity of duds that have Ajay Devgn loudly zipping up his trousers or Saif running around London like a dog. It’s baffling that films like Bang Bang or Kick work, but the modest failure of Humshakals had us filled with glee, maybe next year the audiences will finally give up on Sajid Khan. This year’s Razzies features some repeat offenders (looking at you Jackky!) and some newbies who should know better.

"The Biggest Loser" returns for Season 15 with a new theme, "Second Chances," a celebrity contestant, and some exciting new twists.
For the first time in "Biggest Loser" history, the trainers, Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince got to sit in on casting sessions and help pick the Season 15 contestants. They will also have a brand new "trainer save" at weigh-ins. Each of the three trainers will get to save one eliminated contestant along the way.
As was revealed earlier in the summer, "American Idol" Season 2 winner and Grammy nominee, Ruben Studdard, is getting his second chance at reality competition show fame -- and a new lease on life -- as the first ever celebrity contestant on "The Biggest Loser."
Other contestants include Olympic weight lifter Holley Mangold, who hopes the show will help whip her into fighting shape for the 2016 Olympic games, and Rachel Frederickson, a former nationally ranked...

Mumbai: Renowned film maker Manoj Kumar is eying a comeback in Bollywood with a film titled ‘DNA Report’. He is wielding the megaphone after over two long decades. His debut venture Clerk failed to impress movie lovers in 89. He informs, “I haven’t been able to make any film because of my back problem. But now my script is ready. It’s a film called DNA Report. It’s about how a man becomes a victim of a DNA test when he has never had any emotional or physical relationship with a woman. Then how does the DNA report say he’s the father of the woman’s child? This is a subject I’ve never been into.”
Says Manoj Kumar regretfully, “I don’t have the comfort of working with Manoj Kumar the actor anymore. He is capable of telling home truths in.

Whoa! Blossom and Joey Russo are back, but they're not hanging out with Six this time around. Mayim Bialik and Joey Lawrence, who played the beloved '90s characters on "Blossom," are appearing in an Old Navy ad to promote the company's spring line, "Old Navy Bee Bots."
In the commercial, Bialik pops up in one of her famous floral hats, while Joey appears as a "Bee Bot," and utters his catchphrase, "Whoa!"
"Blossom" aired on NBC from 1991-1995, with Bialik starring as the titular teenager living with her two brothers (Lawrence and Michael Stoyanov) and father (Ted Wass).
Though the show is long over, both Bialik and Lawrence have continued with their TV careers: Bialik is now a series regular on CBS hit "The Big Bang Theory" and Lawrence stars on ABC Family's "Melissa & Joey," opposite fellow famous '90s face Melissa Joan Hart.

Manoj Kumar; already miffed with Farah Khan over the Om Shanti Om controversy, has been rubbed in the wrong way by her again. She commented on Manoj Kumar’s film, Clerk, and called it a ‘treasure chest of ham scenes’.
Manoj Kumar was upset over her remarks and felt that she is successful and has the right to have her own opinion. But just because she is successful, if she thinks she has become a master, she should think again.
He thinks she should learn to spell choreography and take a look at choreographers of the old era. He also feels that filmmakers nowadays copy old films and.

Farah Khan has rubbed veteran actor Manoj Kumar the wrong way again. After a raging controversy, which triggered off when she showcased Manoj Kumar in a poor light in Om Shanti Om, a few weeks ago, Farah made a statement in the media that she rated Manoj Kumar.s film, Clerk as .a treasure chest of ham scenes..Reacting angrily to Farah.s statement, Manoj Kumar said, .Ham means pig. I am still a student of cinema. Farah is bubbly and successful and she is entitled to her opinion. I wish her well but those who think that they have become masters (after becoming successful) are wrong. Go back and take a look at the choreographers who ruled the roost in my era. I think Farah should first learn to spell choreography. Keeping the same background and repeating the same shots is not choreography. It means that a...
