Tiger Woods: Opens mouth in front of Media

Posted by Nafiz Tahmid

Tiger Woods is ready is ready to talk about his "disgusting behavior."
Tiger Woods acknowledged “living a lie,” saying he alone was responsible for the sex scandal that caused his downfall and that no one in his inner circle was aware of his misdeeds. “It was all me. I’m the one who did it. I’m the one who acted the way I acted. No one knew what was going on when it was going on,” Woods told The Golf Channel in one of two interviews Sunday night. A second one was aired on ESPN. “I’m sure if more people would have known in my inner circle, they would have stopped it or tried to put a stop to it. But I kept it all to myself,” he said.
In a revealing interview with Kelly Tilghman of the Golf Channel, Woods says that he's spent 45 days in treatment and is ready to return to the game that made him famous."I hurt so many people by my own reckless attitude and behavior," said Woods.  "I tried to stop and I couldn't stop. It was horrific." 
But he did admit being nervous about how he’ll be received when he returns to golf next month at the Masters.
Woods plans to end more than four months of seclusion and play at Augusta National, one of the most tightly controlled environments in golf.

JIM CARREY DEBUTS HIS ADORABLE NEW GRANDSON — PICTURE!

Posted by Nafiz Tahmid

The Hollywood actor, JIM CARREY 47, became a first time grandpa when his daughter Jane, 22, gave birth to a 7lbs 11oz baby boy on Friday in Los Angeles.

FUNNYMAN Jim Carrey debuted his grandson over the weekend.


Jane — who fronts rock group The Jane Carrey Band — and her husband, Blood Money singer Alex ‘Nitro’ Santana, have named their new arrival Jackson Riley Santana.

Jim revealed his daughter was about to give birth on Twitter last week.

“Something beautiful is right around the corner,” he wrote Thursday.

And on Friday he posted, “Right around the corner!”

When Jane announced her happy news last July, Jim — who split from Jane’s mother, his first wife Melissa Womer, in 1995 — predicted his daughter would be a fantastic parent.

“Jane is going to be a great mom,” he said at the time.

The Yes Man actor’s long-term girlfriend Jenny McCarthy recently admitted she couldn’t wait to become a grandmother to Jane’s baby.

“I think I’m going to be the awesome grandma, the world’s best is what I say,” said Jenny, who has a seven-year-old son Evan from a previous relationship.

HISTORY OF BOLLYWOOD CINEMA

Posted by Nafiz Tahmid

Bollywood the greatest movie industry. Placed after the Hollywood. Bollywood has a memorable history behind today's industry. The Lumiere Brothers in 1899 introduced soundless movie clips to India which inspired Dadasaheb Phalke in 1913 to be the first Indian director to produce a soundless Indian film called Raja Harishchandra. The film had subtitles in both Hindi and English. The industry soon took off and the 1920s saw the rise of several film directors trying their hand at making silent Indian movies. It was in 1931 when the first sound film Alam Ara was produced and its success inspired directors in South India and various other parts of India like Bengal to also start producing films in these regions. Gradually the rest of India joined in the bollywood race and films started to be produced with political and social themes of the era. The name bollywood was inspired by Hollywood and Bombay(Mumbai)being at the heart of Indian film production.

In 1932 Bombay hosted the first Indian film festival and this inspired the Indian directors to produce better films with directors like Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen introducing Indian films to the world cinematic audiences. Gradually colour films were produced and the director K.Asif directed the classic film Mughal-E-Azam which was based on the life of the great Mughal Emperor Akbar and his son Salim (Jehangir). Film actors like Raj Kapoor, Dalip Kumar, Manoj Kumar and actresses like Nargis, Vyjantimala and Saira Banu became household names in the 1960s. Not only the film actors but the playback singers who sang the songs for these films like Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi became popular all around the world.

Events in Indian history were reflected in Bollywood films and the Independence of India from Britain and the resulting partition of India and Pakistan and its effects were shown in patriotic films like Shaheed which was directed by Ramesh Sehgal. Subjects of poverty of the rural Indians and the power of family values was the subject of the film 'Mother India' starring the actress Nargis. This film made by Mehmoob Khan was an outright success and broke all box office records in India. The film industry was the ideal media not only to entertain but to educate the masses about all sorts of issues that affected India and its people.

The 1980s brought in films with lots of violence and Amitabh Bachan became the 'angry young man' fighting injustices against corrupt leaders and politicians. Films were churned out in large numbers with over 800 films being produced in this period. Gradually themes changed and family issues and social values were brought back again into the Indian films. Films showing the lives of Indians living abroad and how they coped in Western societies were brougt into the Bollywood scene. Many people recognised such issues and the Bollywood industry gained even more popularity in the US and Britain with Shahrukh Khan acquiring the title of King Khan' with his ever increasing popularity.

Recent Indian film directors like Deepa Mehta have approached subjects which are considered taboo like female sexuality, racism and class divisions in India with films like Fire, Water and Earth. It has inspired Indians living in Western countries to direct films with a different take on life and the result has been Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding and Gurinder Chada's Bride and Prejudice and Bend it like Beckam.

Today the Bollywood film industry is the largest film industry in the world. In June 2007 Yorkshire hosted the International Indian Film Academy Awards (Bollywood Oscars) an event watched by 500 million people in 110 countries around th globe. The latest Indian films have become a lot slicker and are technically better than their previous counterparts. The film 'Krish' and the remake of 'Don' have used this technology very effectively and gradually Bollywood is improving itself to be able to compete on the world stage. Story lines could be improved a lot more and unnecessary drama reduced to make the films appear credible but meanwhile the songs, the elaborate costumes and sets, the dances, the emotions and drama give Bollywood the entertainment value that make its audiences come back for more and more.

HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD

Posted by Nafiz Tahmid

Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., situated west-northwest of Downtown. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonym for the American film and television industry. Today much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as Burbank and the West side, but significant ancillary industries (such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies) remain in Hollywood.
Many historic Hollywood theaters are used as venues to premiere major theatrical releases, and host the Academy Awards. It is a popular destination for nightlife and tourism, and home to the Walk of Fame.
Modern Hollywood
On January 22, 1947, the first commercial TV station west of the Mississippi River, KTLA, began operating in Hollywood. In December of that year, the first Hollywood movie production was made for TV, The Public Prosecutor. And in the 1950s, music recording studios and offices began moving into Hollywood. Other businesses, however, continued to migrate to different parts of the Los Angeles area, primarily to Burbank. Much of the movie industry remained in Hollywood, although the district's outward appearance changed. In 1952, CBS built CBS Television City on the corner of Fairfax Avenue and Beverly Boulevard on the former site of Gilmore Stadium. CBS's expansion into the Fairfax District pushed the unofficial boundary of Hollywood further south than it had been. CBS's slogan for the shows taped there was "From Television City in Hollywood..." The famous Capitol Records building on Vine Street just north of Hollywood Boulevard was built in 1956. It is a recording studio not open to the public, but its unique circular design looks like a stack of old 45rpm vinyl records. The now derelect lot at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Serrano Avenue was once the site of the illustrious Hollywood Professional School whose alumni reads like a Hollywood who's who of household "names".
The Hollywood Walk of Fame was created in 1958 and the first star was placed in 1960 as a tribute to artists working in the entertainment industry. Honorees receive a star based on career and lifetime achievements in motion pictures, live theater, radio, television, and/or music, as well as their charitable and civic contributions.
In 1985, the Hollywood Boulevard commercial and entertainment district was officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places protecting important buildings and ensuring that the significance of Hollywood's past would always be a part of its future. In June 1999, the long-awaited Hollywood extension of the Metro Red Line subway opened, running from Downtown Los Angeles to the Valley, with stops on Hollywood Boulevard at Western Avenue, at Vine Street and at Highland Avenue.
The Kodak Theatre, which opened in 2001 on Hollywood Boulevard at Highland Avenue, where the historic Hollywood Hotel once stood, has become the new home of the Oscars.
While motion picture production still occurs within the Hollywood district, most major studios are actually located elsewhere in the Los Angeles region. Paramount Studios is the only major studio still physically located within Hollywood. Other studios in the district include the aforementioned Jim Henson (formerly Chaplin) Studios, Sunset Gower Studios, and Raleigh Studios. Several local broadcasters such as KTLA also maintain studios there, while ABC still has a studio facility on Hollywood's east side; but most of that network's programming is now produced out of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. The Los Angeles ABC affiliate, KABC also moved to a new studio in Glendale, California.

In 2002, a number of Hollywood citizens began a campaign for the district to secede from Los Angeles and become, as it had been a century earlier, its own incorporated municipality. Secession supporters argued that the needs of their community were being ignored by the leaders of Los Angeles. In June of that year, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors placed secession referendums for both Hollywood and the Valley on the ballots for a "citywide election." To pass, they required the approval of a majority of voters in the proposed new municipality as well as a majority of voters in all of Los Angeles. In the November election, both referendums failed by wide margins in the citywide vote.
