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.

STRIPPER WARS


It seems that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are welcoming 2008 with a bitter fight- the tow are planning to launch their own chains of Las Vega strip clubs.
Britney, who is annoyed with the hotel heiress for flirting with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, has been in secret talks about a 312 crore project to open her chain of strip clubs across the Sin city.
However, after learning about the pop star’s plans, Paris has decided to beat Spears to the punch by opening her own chain of strip clubs in Las Vegas.
Britney was excited about this project for months and is really upset with Paris that things have come to this. And that’s even before she heard Paris has been partying with Kevin.
Britney has always thought of stripping as a bit like art- as a skill.
So when Vegas based developers approached her about investing money into three exclusive strip joints, which she wants to call Toxic Heaven, she jumped at the chance.

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.
