Deepika slams the Censor Board
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has objected to the use of the word “virgin” in one of the dialogues of Finding Fanny. The film's lead actress Deepika Padukone slams the Censor Board saying its guidelines are inconsistent. “I don't think their request is valid. There is no system. Every six months the rules keep changing... There is no consistency to what is being said and done,” the 28-year-old said. She feels while judging a film, it's important to see everything in the context of a particular scene or a film. “They should see it in the context of the scene and the film, you can't just pick put one word and say, ‘Oh, we are not allowing this word.' Give us a reason why you are not allowing us to show certain things,” Deepika added.

Actor George Clooney will don the director's hat for Hack Attack, a film based on a British phone hacking scandal.

Kelly recalls traumatic times
Actress-model Kelly Brook has opened up about experiencing “horrific” and “traumatic” times during her growing up days. She grew up in Kent, South East England. Brook has revealed that although she enjoyed some aspects of growing up, she used to dread the weekends as a child as it meant going to the local pub with her parents who often got too drunk, resulting in regular fights. “I used to dread the weekends growing up. Sunday was the pub day. We used to have a roast dinner and every other Sunday it would be burnt,” she was quoted as saying. “My parents would spend too long in the pub, come home p****d and eat the burnt lunch. Then there would be a fight and the police would be called,” she added. Brook also mentioned one occasion when the police took her father, who died from cancer in 2007, away kicking and screaming.
