London, Feb 13: King of Pop Michael Jackson, whose ever-changing looks have always been a subject of speculation, has once again hit the headlines with reports suggesting that his nose may soon fall off due to a skin-ravaging infection.

MRSA expert Mark Enright, a professor at Imperial College London, says that Jackson's skin has a `Staph' infection, which has made his skin immune to any antibiotic medication.

And therefore, his skin problem is aggravating with each passing day, leaving his nose in jeopardy.

Washington, Feb 13: British singer Pete Doherty has revealed he had to scrap plans of a duet with troubled singer Amy Winehouse because his producer warned him against collaborating with her.

Doherty rehearsed the track 1939 Returning with the Rehab singer, and even made a primary recording of her vocals for the tune.

New Delhi, Feb 13 : Beyonce Knowles has revealed that she kept her wedding to rapper Jay-Z secret because she wanted to `cherish' the commitment of marriage rather than the big day itself.

"I think that people can put way too much emphasis on the day. It''s just so temporary and it goes away in a second. And then you have this commitment you made, and I don''t know if people cherish it as much as they should," she said.

Beyonce, who tied the knot with Jay-Z in a secret ceremony last April, has admitted that she never wanted a big wedding because she likes to keep it personal, reports China Daily.

Ram Leela, the traditional folk theatre, is a very key element in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's forthcoming Delhi 6. But when the director set out looking for a group that specialises in Ram Leela, he found that there were no groups that were actually carrying forward the tradition of Ram Leela any more.

Rakeysh swore that he would not do away with these essential scenes and did a search for people who could fit into the roles of Ram, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman. "He found Ram in Sagar University, Sita in Allahabad, Laxman in Ujjain and Hanuman in Varanasi and then got all of them together and rehearsed for almost three months to put up the jhalkis of Ram Leela," an insider says.

Washington, Feb 12 : Chris Brown's former blind stepfather Donnelle Hawkins has denied that he ever physically abused the singer's mother, but admitted that he regretted threatening to shoot himself because that might have had a bad effect on Brown.

"We were together as a family (but) some things happened, where I felt our relationship was slipping away - that I was losing her (Brown''s mother)," Contactmusic quoted Hawkins as telling in American show Access Hollywood.

"I made a foolish attempt by getting the gun (sic) and threatening to shoot myself. It wasn''t a suicide attempt," he added.
