Bollywood stars kick off 12th Int’l Indian film academy events
By Charmaine Noronha
TORONTO (AP) – Some of Bollywood’s biggest stars gathered in Toronto on Thursday to kick off the 12th International Indian Film Academy weekend – held for the first time on North American soil.
A group of Bollywood dancers descended on Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York hotel to launch the three-day extravaganza of film, music and fashion that culminates Saturday in the academy’s awards ceremony, often described as the Indian Oscars.
“I am thrilled to be a part of yet another IIFA,” ”Slumdog Millionaire” actor Anil Kapoor said at a press conference. “It is an event that I look forward to every single year, and I could not be happier that they have chosen Toronto as the host city for this year’s celebrations.”
IIFA organizers have taken the awards ceremony around the world in a bid to expose the genre to more audiences and open up trade markets.
Holding the star-studded event in Toronto is a strategic move as India’s cinematic royalty makes a bid for a piece of the North American box office. Held previously in Amsterdam, Sri Lanka, Macau, London, Malaysia, Dubai, Singapore, Bangkok and Johannesburg, IIFA is capitalizing on the already huge Bollywood following in Toronto, which has an estimated population of nearly 700,000 South Asians.
More than 200 filmmakers and stars are expected in Canada from India and overseas, including three generations of the famed Kapoor clan headed by patriarch Raj Kapoor, the Deol dynasty including Dharmendra and his sons Sunny and Bobby, superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and bombshell actress Priyanka Chopra.
The Toronto International Film Festival Bell Lightbox – the flagship theater of the Toronto film fest – will host a salute to the Kapoor dynasty on Sunday when the clan is expected to walk a red carpet and discuss their storied career.
Singer Sonu Nigam will take the stage Friday for an IIFA concert with Grammy-nominated singer Jermaine Jackson to pay a tribute to his brother Michael Jackson, who had a huge fan following in India. The concert will commemorate the second anniversary of Jackson’s death.
“When we first (arrived in) California, we were most entertained every Saturday by Bollywood movies,” said Jackson. “We were watching you from day one, as we were on the journey to becoming The Jackson Five. We loved the dance, the costumes, the entertainment, the set designs. It’s what inspired us a great deal as well.”
But it’s the awards bash that will be the hot ticket of the weekend.
The multimillion-dollar show is being billed as the biggest production in the film academy’s history. IIFA organizers estimate the elaborate staging involves between 800 and 1,000 performers, crew, designers, production managers, and talent, and the broadcast of it will be watched by 700 million viewers around the world.
Toronto has been gearing up for the IIFA awards for weeks with various Bollywood-related events, and stars have been flying into the city since last week.
Several films will be making their international premieres over the weekend, including “Double Dhamaal,” starring starring Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Ashish Chowdhry, Javed Jaffery, Sanjay Dutt, Mallika Sherawat and Kangana Ranaut.
When tickets for the awards ceremony went on sale in January, all 16,000 of the 22,000 tickets available to the public sold out in minutes_eight minutes to be exact.
And it’s a mutually beneficial event for Toronto. Ontario premiere Dalton McGuinty lured the IIFA to the city by pledging $12.25 million (12 million Canadian dollars) and this weekend’s festival – held at a cost of $28.6 million (28 million Canadian dollars) shared by IIFA, sponsors and the province – is expected to draw 40,000 to 50,000 tourists to various events throughout Toronto.
Bollywood spends a reported $127 million producing movies abroad every year, and Toronto is hoping to get a piece of that. Trade between Ontario and India amounted to $1.53 billion in 2009.
“We celebrate the year of Indian and Canada coming together,” said Indian Consul General Preeti Saran. “We see immense growth opportunities between the two countries.”
Jackson doc’s lawyers to see ‘This Is It’ footage
By Linda Deutsch, Special Correspondent
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Sony Pictures Entertainment has agreed to provide a private screening for Dr. Conrad Murray and his defense attorneys to view some 100 hours of raw footage of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for his “This Is It” concert.
But according to documents filed in court Thursday they won’t be allowed to make public statements about what they see.
A stipulation reached by both sides said that Murray and his lawyers will have access to 21 boxes containing audio-visual recordings of Jackson’s rehearsals which became the basis for a concert movie after his death.
Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the superstar’s death on June 25, 2009, from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives. His trial begins in September.
The issue arose when Murray’s prosecutors announced they planned to show jurors excerpts from the theatrically released concert movie, “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” to show Jackson was in good health in the days before his death.
The defense wants to show otherwise. Those lawyers contend scenes showing Jackson in frail health during rehearsals may have been edited out of the movie.
They said there are more than 100 hours of footage from which the movie was derived. Jackson was rehearsing for a planned concert in London when he died. The movie was issued posthumously.
Sony resisted the defense request at first and the company’s lawyer, Gary Bostwick, said he was concerned the material would leak out and go viral on the Internet.
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said at a previous hearing that access to any footage would come with restrictions to prevent it from being disseminated on the Internet and elsewhere.
“If Michael Jackson materials are just out there, there could be amazing consequences for Sony and the Jackson estate,” the judge said. “I’m not inclined to order that they just turn them over.”
The parties later reached agreement.
“Sony has agreed to allow Dr. Murray and his counsel to inspect and view the materials in question at a location to be designated by Sony Pictures Entertainment,” the stipulation said.
After the viewing, it said, lawyers will prepare a log of segments they want to obtain for use in Murray’s case.
It specified that neither Murray nor his agents or attorneys will make any public statements about “the content or nature of the materials, their storage, their location or their quality.”
The only issue left for the judge to resolve is who will pay the costs of personnel required for the viewing and copying of segments designated by the defense..
A hearing on the issue is scheduled for Friday but lawyers for both sides indicated in the papers they will ask for the matter to be continued to July 27.
Prosecutors urge reality TV producer’s extradition
By Anthony McCartney, Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to ignore efforts by a reality television producer charged with killing his wife in Mexico to present testimony from his 6-year-old daughter to fight extradition.
A prosecution brief filed Thursday calls Bruce Beresford-Redman’s efforts to call his daughter as a witness during an upcoming extradition hearing an effort to distract the court from overwhelming evidence that he killed his wife.
Lawyers for the former “Survivor” producer have introduced statements from the couple’s 6-year-old daughter into their opposition paperwork, and said at a news conference on Tuesday they hope to call her as a witness.
In an interview with a therapist, the girl stated that she did not witness any violence in their parents’ hotel room at a swank Cancun resort during their April 2010 vacation. The interview was requested by Beresford-Redman’s attorneys.
“The fugitive relies primarily on a lawyer-driven interview of his 6-year-old daughter, which fails to distance him from the incriminating facts,” the brief states. They also cite that the therapist has treated Beresford-Redman and met him up to a dozen times.
They also state that the girl’s statements contradict other statements by her father, including one to a hotel clerk who called to inform that other guests complained about loud noise coming from the family’s room the night Monica Beresford-Redman was apparently killed.
The producer told the clerk he and his wife had been fighting and that it wouldn’t happen again, although his daughter said she recalled them playing a loud game. Tourists in an adjacent room described the noise as coming from a woman who sounded like she was in distress.
Monica Beresford-Redman’s body was found in a sewage cistern days later.
The U.S. government’s brief states that Beresford-Redman is not allowed to call witnesses during the proceeding, and that much of the evidence he seeks to enter is inadmissible.
They also state Beresford-Redman’s other criticisms of the case – that Mexican investigators “rushed to judgment” and that Cancun is rife with corruption – are not supported by evidence and should not be considered by the court.
“Finally, in his efforts to attack the police work of the Mexican authorities, the fugitive tries to indict the entire Mexican judicial system, alleging corruption,” the filing states. “These arguments, which are inadmissible in the extradition context, nonetheless fail to detract from the mass of evidence pointing towards his guilt.”
A call to a spokesman for Beresford-Redman’s attorneys was not immediately returned Thursday.
His hearing had been scheduled for July 12, but attorneys are now requesting that it be held on Aug. 4.
TV pitchman arrested after missing appearance
PHOENIX (AP) – Federal authorities have arrested a Phoenix-based TV pitchman who failed to show for his arraignment.
Donald Lapre is charged with running a nationwide scheme to sell essentially worthless Internet-based businesses.
A grand jury indicted him on 41 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and promotional money laundering. He’s accused of encouraging people to sell worthless vitamins through a company called “The Greatest Vitamin in the World.”
The government says at least 220,000 people were defrauded of nearly $52 million.
An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for the 46-year-old Lapre after he was a no-show at his arraignment. The U.S. Marshals Service says deputies arrested him Thursday night in Tempe. No other details were released.
It’s not immediately clear whether Lapre has a lawyer yet.
Bay: Megan Fox remark led to ‘Transformers’ firing
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Michael Bay says Steven Spielberg demanded he dismiss Megan Fox from the third “Transformers” film after she compared Bay to Hitler.
Bay tells GQ magazine in an article appearing in its July issue that Spielberg, who is an executive producer on the film, told the director to “fire her right now” after Fox made the Hitler remarks to a British magazine last year.
Fox told the magazine before production began on the third “Transformers” installment that Bay “wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is.”
The 25-year-old actress was replaced by Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” which opens next week.
Paramount confirmed Tuesday that Bay made the comments to GQ but did not elaborate.
New George Clooney movie to open Venice Festival
VENICE, Italy (AP) – George Clooney’s highly anticipated new movie about a U.S. presidential campaign will open this year’s Venice Film Festival.
“The Ides of March” stars Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Festival organizers said Wednesday that the movie will be competing for the coveted Golden Lion award. The film will have its world premiere screening on Aug. 31 following the festival’s opening ceremony.
The festival runs through Sept.10.
The Oscar-winning Clooney has often attended the Venice film fest. The Hollywood star has a villa on Lake Como and an Italian girlfriend.
‘Mad Men’ star Jon Hamm signs new 3-year contract
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Don Draper is getting job security and a raise.
Jon Hamm, who plays 1960s advertising executive Draper on AMC’s “Mad Men,” has signed a new contract with series studio Lionsgate Television Group. Hamm’s publicist, Slate PR, said Tuesday that the deal keeps him with the show for three more years.
The actor will receive a substantial raise for the upcoming fifth season. By the contract’s final year, he’ll earn more than $250,000 an episode, Variety.com reported, citing unidentified sources.
Hamm had been signed through season six of “Mad Men.” The new deal keeps him on board through the seventh season.
Series creator Matthew Weiner signed a contract in March for a sixth season and a possible seventh. Weiner’s protracted negotiations delayed the show’s return from this year to early 2012.
Tattoo artist settles over design in ‘Hangover II’
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) – The tattoo artist who sued over Ed Helms’ tattoo in “The Hangover Part II” has settled his lawsuit over the design, which resembles the facial ink the artist created for Mike Tyson.
Warner Bros. spokesman Paul McGuire said Monday that the movie studio and S. Victor Whitmill amicably resolved their dispute. McGuire declined to discuss the case further.
In the movie, Helms’ character, Stu, wakes up in a Bangkok bathtub with a facial tattoo.
Whitmill claimed the filmmakers ripped off the design that he tattooed on Tyson in 2003 in Las Vegas. Whitmill now lives near Waynesville in south-central Missouri.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in St. Louis tried to block the film’s release, but a judge ruled just two days before the film’s May 26 debut that it could open as scheduled.
Tyson, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, had a small role in the first “Hangover” film in 2009 and also appears in the sequel.
Marilyn Monroe dress is auctioned for $4.6 million
By Lynn Elber, Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Marilyn Monroe dress that flirted revealingly with a gust of New York subway air in “The Seven Year Itch” fetched a record $4.6 million at an auction of film memorabilia.
A more sedate outfit worn by Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot race scene of “My Fair Lady” drew a $3.7 million bid at the sale of nearly 600 Hollywood costumes and props collected by film star Debbie Reynolds.
The buyers, who were not identified, also paid a sum to the auction house and other fees, according to auction publicity firm Nancy Seltzer & Associates. That brought the total price to more than $5.6 million for the Monroe costume and $4.5 million for the black-and-white gown worn by Hepburn.
The total was $22.8 million, according to auction house Profiles in History.
“I’m thrilled beyond words. This first auction shows that our great stars were loved by the world,” Reynolds said. She plans to part with more with items later this year.
In filmmaker Billy Wilder’s “The Seven Year Itch,” Monroe’s character cooled off by standing over a subway grate to catch the breeze as a train sped underneath – which sent her dress north and exposed a shocking amount of leg and undergarment for a 1955 movie.
The costume’s price set two records, according to Profiles in History: It surpassed the $1.26 million paid for the dress Monroe wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy, and it became the most expensive film costume sold.
That honor had belonged to Hepburn’s black dress from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which sold for $923,000, the auction house said.
More modest but still impressive bids at Saturday’s auction in Beverly Hills and online included $540,000 for a Grace Kelly costume from “To Catch a Thief,” $140,000 for a guitar used by Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” and $100,000 for a “Cleopatra” headdress that adorned Elizabeth Taylor.
Reynolds, 79, started collecting four decades ago at auctions held by major film studios, including MGM and Fox, and eventually acquired 3,500-plus items.
The auction meant the end of a dream for Reynolds, who starred as a teenager with Gene Kelly in “Singin’ in the Rain” and was an Oscar nominee for “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.”
Reynolds’ combined casino-hotel and memorabilia museum in Las Vegas closed and she had planned to relocate the museum to Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Last year, Reynolds’ son, Todd Fisher, said the project had to file for bankruptcy protection and the collection would be sold to satisfy creditors.
Reynolds, who still performs in nightclubs and theaters and remains the petite, pretty blonde who captured Kelly’s heart in their 1952 musical, expressed regret in an interview last week. But she looked on the bright side as well.
“I won’t have so many children to take care of,” she said, “so I won’t have quite so much responsibility and I can rest a little more.”
More items are to be auctioned in December.
Woody Allen finalizes cast for ‘The Bop Decameron’
NEW YORK (AP) – Woody Allen has finalized the cast for his next film, “The Bop Decameron.”
The comedy is to begin production July 11 in Rome. It will be the first time the director will be shooting there.
“The Bop Decameron” will star Roberto Benigni (beh-NEEN’-yee), Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz and Judy Davis.
Allen will also play a role, his first since 2006’s “Scoop.”
Allen’s “Midnight in Paris,” currently in release, has earned $21.8 million at the box office.
Playtime resumes for ‘Toy Story’ in cartoon short
By David Germain, Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Woody the cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and their “Toy Story” pals are back on the big-screen in a new adventure.
The voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Michael Keaton, Joan Cusack and other stars are featured in a “Toy Story” short film that runs before the Pixar Animation sequel “Cars 2,” which debuts in U.S. theaters Friday.
“Toy Story: Hawaiian Vacation” has Hanks’ Woody, Allen’s Buzz, Cusack’s Jessie the cowgirl and the other toys coming up with a scheme to give doll sweethearts Ken and Barbie (Keaton and Jodi Benson) the trip of their dreams.
After lending his voice to the franchise’s three blockbuster feature-length films, Hanks says he’ll keep coming back to do the voice of Woody whenever Disney-owned Pixar wants to do more with the “Toy Story” characters.
“Are those people some brand of genius that you can’t really begin to fathom?” Hanks said of Pixar, whose 11 feature-length animated films have all been critical and commercial successes. “As long as I don’t develop a smoker’s cough, yeah, I’m there. Whatever they need. There’s only one Woody, and it’s me.”
Along with winning six of the 10 Academy Awards for feature-length animation since that category was added, Pixar has earned 10 Oscar nominations for its short films, winning three.
Some of those short cartoons have preceded other Pixar feature films on the big-screen, reviving a sense of the serial entertainment that Hollywood provided at cinemas in its early years.
“We really believe in the short film,” said Pixar’s creative mastermind, John Lasseter, who received a special Oscar for 1995’s “Toy Story,” the first computer-animated feature film. “One, in the case of these, it just kind of keeps new animation of our favorite characters going. Secondly, for us internally, it’s a great way for us to let younger artists take the next step up in their career to try directing.”
The new “Toy Story” short is directed by Gary Rydstrom, a seven-time Oscar winner for sound or sound-effects editing on such movies as “Titanic,” ”Jurassic Park” and “Saving Private Ryan.” A veteran sound designer on Pixar films, Rydstrom previously directed the company’s Oscar-nominated 2006 animated short “Lifted.”
Lasseter, who also directed “Toy Story 2,” ”A Bug’s Life,” ”Cars” and “Cars 2,” said short cartoons allow him and the Pixar crew to keep in touch with characters they have come to consider friends.
Pixar has crafted short films for television and home video reprising characters from “Cars,” ”The Incredibles,” ”Up” and other feature hits.
“We’ll come up with great ideas, little gags and stuff that are really fun, that are not necessarily appropriate story-wise for a feature film,” Lasseter said. “But they’re really fantastic for a short film where you would love to see the characters again.”

SAG and AFTRA Convene Formal Discussions to Create One Union
Silver Spring, MD – Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists convened this weekend for the first, formal face-to-face discussions between the AFTRA New Union Committee and the SAG Merger Task Force at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The two groups, comprised of members including actors, performers, recording artists and broadcast professionals, met together as the Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA Group for One Union (G1) to facilitate the creation of one successor union to represent all of the members of AFTRA and Screen Actors Guild.
The G1 established a series of work groups to discuss six key areas that rank-and-file members identified as important during the Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA Presidents’ Forum for One Union nationwide Listening Tour. The six workgroups are:
* Governance and Structure
* Finance and Dues
* Collective Bargaining
* Pension, Health and Retirement
* Operations and Staff

‘Bold’ wins 4 Emmys as TV’s soap selection slims
By Beth Harris
LAS VEGAS (AP) – “The Bold and the Beautiful” won four trophies – including drama series honors for the third consecutive year – at the Daytime Emmys, which will have two fewer soap operas to celebrate next year.
The ABC shows “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are leaving the air after more than 40 years because of declining ratings. Their departures mean just four daytime dramas will remain.
Brittany Allen of “All My Children” earned the show’s final Daytime Emmy on Sunday night, for younger actress in a drama series. She is no longer playing the role of Marisa Chandler.
“My heart breaks for all these people that this is not going to be a part of their lives,” she said backstage. “Having just gone through something like this, I survived. It was scary, but change is a good thing and it opens the door for new opportunities.”
Bradley Bell, executive producer of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” isn’t ready to write off soaps despite their dwindling ranks and fewer viewers.
“It’s never going to be like it once was,” he said backstage. “There is a future for soaps. It’s going to be cost-cutting and reinventing, but it’s going to be a future and a great future.”
Presenter Debbi Morgan of “All My Children” noted her show’s impending demise, saying, “To all the fans, we move on, but you will forever be missed, and as the song goes, sometimes it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.”
Former soap star Shemar Moore saluted Susan Lucci, whose Erica Kane character ruled “All My Children” for years. Lucci won a single Daytime Emmy during her long career as a daytime diva.
“Daytime is just not going to be the same without you,” he said.
Lucci, who presented with Moore, replied, “Daytime television is alive and well, and look at all the talent in this building.”
The 38th annual ceremony aired live on CBS from the Las Vegas Hilton was a bittersweet affair. Joining the two soaps on their way out are talk show host Regis Philbin, “Today” personality Meredith Vieira, and daytime queen Oprah Winfrey, who wasn’t present for a tribute to her recently concluded 25 years on the air.
