New Delhi, April 17: Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, who turns 35 today, has had an early celebration with her celebrity pals including Eva Longoria, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Richie and Kate Beckinsale.

New York, Apr. 17: In another step in its transformation from an online jumble of amateur videos to a destination for mainstream TV programs and movies, YouTube said Thursday that it had signed deals with Hollywood studios to showcase thousands of TV episodes and hundreds of movies on its Web site.

Google, which owns YouTube, said it might eventually bring another innovation to the site: payment for some premium content.

Here’s an example of strange things, which take place in the entertainment industry.
 
B-town’s favourite hero Hrithik Roshan, who you believed was perfect, was asked to lose the extra kilos for a commercial.

According to reports, the makers of clothing brand to be endorsed by Junior Roshan, wanted the actor to look more primed and best for an forthcoming ad, which is aimed at youth.   

The ad makers plowed ahead and asked Hrithik to lose weight and even get rid of the brawny look that he’s sporting for his upcoming home production ‘Kites’.

Finally, the time has come for ‘Colors’ TV channel to celebrate its success.

As per data provided by the TV rating agency TAM India, for the week ended April 11, Colors, a joint venture of Viacom and Network 18, has put back Star Plus as the top performer.

This’s the first time Star Plus tumbled from its No. 1 rank in almost nine years.

The channel, which holds the place of Star Plus, is Colors, which was launched less than a year ago.

Well-known film director Mani Ratnam was admitted to a private hospital early this morning after he complained of chest pain and giddiness.

Mani, who is in his early 50s, was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Apollo hospital in Chennai.

According to the hospital sources Mani had a slight discomfort in the heart.

The doctors have decided to keep Mani in the ICU for the next one week for observation.

All the family members and close friends of the director rushed to hospital on hearing about his condition.

Actor turned politician Sanjay Dutt has got another reason to be back in the news and perhaps again for all the wrong reasons.

It is learnt that an FIR has been lodged against Dutt for allegedly violating model code of conduct by making communal remarks in an election rally in Mau district. Giving this information,district police chief Ram Bharose said, "A case against Dutt was registered Tuesday night after he made communal remarks at a public meeting."

The FIR was registered against the SP General Secretary at Dakkhin Tola police station.
