BRITNEY SPEARS

Britney Spears is making her comeback — again. First step: release a catchy single. And so, on Friday Britney’s song “Womanizer” finally hit airwaves, four days after its scheduled release and a week after a snippet was leaked.

The song is an upbeat if slightly repetitive electropop number lasting about 3:40. It comes off Spears’ album “Circus,” which is set to be released on her 27th birthday on Dec. 2. The song was produced by The Outsyders, a group based in Atlanta.

It has lyrics that include: “You say I’m crazy/ I got your crazy/You’re nothing but a womanizer” In the song’s chorus, Britney sings, “Boy, don’t try to front/I-I know just-just what you are/Womanizer, you’re a womanizer, baby.”

It remains to be seen what Britney’s fans think of the song, but it’s definitely catchy. In a snap judgment, the Los Angeles Times music blog Soundboard reached the conclusion that “Britney is back. She actually seems to be awake this time.”

THE LOVE GURU

Mike Myers was mad as hell. As a a comedian, he is thick-skinned enough to withstand jokes at his expense and even scathing attacks by critics. But the relentless campaign by the self-styled Hindu leader—leader Rajan Zed against his film The Love Guru had tipped the balance for Myers.
“There is one dude who lives in the desert and has a tiny congregation, who has not seen the film,” Myers said, earlier last week, referring to Zed who is based in Nevada “ And he still decided that potentially the film will hurt his feelings. When he sees the film, he will see that what Guru Pitka (Myer’s characterin The Love Guru) believes in is a fictional, mythical, non-denominational belief system.” The film and Guru Pitka’s teachings had nothing to do with Hinduism, Myers added, as he set out to promote the film.
The Hindu American Foundation—issued its own press release. Members of the group had attended a screening of the film in Minneapolis. The Love Guru, the release said, was vulgar, but definitely not Hinduphobic.
“The film was vulgar, crude and, in the opinion of many og out attendees, too often tasteless in its puerile choice of humor. Very few of the Hindus, viewing the film, however, found it overly anti-Hindu or mean-spirited, indeed no Hindu or Sanskrit terms beyond “ashram” are ever used in the film.”

TALKING TEDDY BEAR ROBOT TO GUIDE MOTORIST

Japanese scientists have come up with a new kind of GPS device: a talking teddy bear.

The robot bear, which stands one foot tall, is placed on the car dashboard to guide motorists on what roads they should take.

It can also point confused drivers in the right direction with the help of the six joints installed in its arms and neck.

Developed by robotics firm IX Research Corporation, the bear has an extra feature-it has been programmed to offer information about local landmarks when its head is rubbed.

However, the bear also has serious safety responsibilities.

Scientists have programmed it to say “ You haven’t been drinking, have you?” if it detects alcohol on a driver’s breath.

Sudden acceleration or breaking also results in the bear exclaiming, “ Watch out! “- a trait likely to infuriate motorists weary of criticism from back seat drivers.

The robotics firm hopes to have the new technology on the market in Japan next year.

However, further improvements are planned.

THE MAN BEHIND THE WHEEL

Known as a kind gentleman, Fisichella is an active fundraiser for the Great Osmond Street Children’s Hospital in London and a member of the F1 drivers’ charity football team. Being an Italian, football comes naturally to the AS Roma fan and he plays as a striker for the Nationale Pilote.
He can zip in a car at 350 kmph without batting an eyelid but the Capricorn has an acute phobia of spiders.
We are guessing Arachnophobia is not his favorite movie. Though if his favorite actors, Sharon Stone and Sylvester Stallone, were in it, the former Renault driver may just see it.
A great fan of comic capers, Fisichella’s current muse is every Italian’s dream girl, Monica Bellucci and he would not mind getting stuck in a lift with her.
Fisichella’s is least fond of curries but having joined a team that is co-owned by an Indian, we have a feeling that the Italian may just have a change of heart.
In Rome, where history sits at every corner, on January 14, 1973, Giancarlo Fisichella was born. A minikart champion in Italy at the age of 11, Fisi as he is fondly called made his way up from karting to Formula Three, even taking a detour in the Touring Car championship before finally finding his way to Formula one in 1995 as a Minardi test driver.

BOLLYWOOD IN THE YEAR 2007.

The year 2007 did not disappoint Bollywood audiences. One again, dream merchants came out with a slew of entertainers – action films like Risk, children’s’ cinema like Taare Zameen, hard hitting realistic flicks, Traffic signal, Gothic horror, laugh riots, thrillers, and some films even on sports.
And 2007 filled producers’ offers and continued the new innovations that came about in 2006.
2006 was the multiplex year and 2007 ‘s first half been commercially disappointing. But the second half commensurate that from the revenue point of view.
There were many flops in 2007, but there were as many hits too. So the overall picture is satisfying.
The cinema industrialists say 2007 has been a good year for this market and the trend shall continue in 2008.
The analysts’ further say with more corporatism entering in, this sector, film making, has tremendous opportunities in the year 2008. Because of corporatist’s entry the production and star costs have increased. Many small producers cannot afford this. It is a double-edged sword.
With the hardware (DVD) and the software market expanding, the home video sector is in full blossom now. The 2008 film making has a bright future.
The overall summary is like this, 2007 was fabulous for the domestic box office, and it should bring more joy to tinsel town.
