Google to Roll Out Pay-Per-View Movies on YouTube

Recently, Google launched a free movie channel service that comes with a catalogue offering 400 movies on YouTube. Now the company is set to offer blockbuster Hollywood movies that will be available with pay-per-view subscription service. It turned out that YouTube is negotiating with a few leading Hollywood studios.


It looks like YouTube has almost the same plans that were introduced by Hulu Plus Ad service for streaming TV shows. As a matter of fact, users will be provided with an opportunity to stream full movies that can be available free from Google ads or with them. The new service will be available in the U.S. and it is expected it will come to the rest of the world.

It will be possible to stream new movies on YouTube in case they are released on DVD also they will be available by means of Amazon plus Apple’s iTunes service.

It is known that Google tries keeping pace of other services when it comes to the distribution of multimedia. It seems like Google is going to make distribution of games as well as games big. Nowadays YouTube is renting out some independent movie titles. So in case it is possible to stream HD movies via YouTube, users will win this situation. But still we have to wait for an official confirmation from Google.

The "Bad Romance" hitmaker, who has overspent by more than two million pounds on the North American leg of her 'Monster Ball' tour, says she is not in the industry for the money, reports fashion.ie. 

"I spent every dollar I made on my music, my art. Every dollar. I don't wait to get budgets from the label. I do it on my own. I don't want it in my hand," she said.

Big B harassed by follower on his blog

Amitabh Bachchan was probably the first most sincere celebrity blogger in Bollywood who used the platform to connect with his fans and update them on his activities, thoughts and interact with them regularly. No wonder then that he had innumerable followers who would start their day with reading what the revered Big B had to say.

But apparently there was one errant follower who used the ability to comment on the blog to vent out his negativity. He would leave derogatory remarks that would cross the line of decency and were abusive. Big B mentions in his blog, "There is a serious effort by a member that writes and comments on this blog to use language and expression that is abusive, filthy and utterly disgusting." The unrelenting person would even send messages that were downright vulgar on Big B's phone and provoked the star to take corrective measures.

Amitabh Bachchan reported the matter to the authorities and now any attempt from this miscreant would come under legal cyber space action.

Paris Hilton- A Teacher Or A Veterinarian?

Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton is always making headlines for her skin show or holidaying naked at a yacht or changing boyfriends like clothes but you will be shocked to know that she would have opted teaching as the profession if she was not famous. 


The 29-year old beauty is known for her reality shows, sex tapes and creating successful fragrances but do you think Hilton would have suited in the role of a teacher? It’s really a doubt.

"I have basically done everything but if I wasn`t in the position I am in now I would love to be a nursery school teacher because I love kids," the beauty was quoted as saying.

"Or I would love to be a veterinarian because I love animals. That would be a dream for me.”

Well, a good option indeed for Hilton but imagine how wonderful it would have been if she was your teacher.

Kristen Bell Joins Indie Ballet Black Comedy



Having successfully established herself as a comedic actress in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Kristen Bell is next set to star in the indie ballet black comedy Dance of the Mirlitons, from young screenwriter and director Evan Greenberg.  The story, which Greenberg conceptualized in middle school and finalized while attending NYU, centers on "an ambitious, slightly overweight ballerina with an overbearing mother (Bell) who will stop at nothing to become a star.  The girl enters a "Mean Girls"-type environment when she has to prove her worth in class."

The project was picked up by Warner Independent after landing on the 2005 Blacklist (Hollywood's unofficial list of the top ten unproduced screenplays) alongside Juno and Lars and the Real Girl, but lost traction when the studio division closed down in 2008.  It took Greenberg "a few years" to reacquire the rights to the script, but "once I got the rights back, it was about [finding] the right partner.

Arjun amicably exits Don 2

The news floating for the past week has now been officially confirmed. Arjun Rampal will no longer be part of the cast for the much talked, much-awaited Farhan Akhtar directed Don 2. Earlier today, confirming the news, Arjun Rampal tweeted, "Hey Guys, Yes it is true won't be part of Don 2. Wish the team all the success I am sure it will be a super film".

Arjun Rampal

Unlike many associations in Bollywood, where partings aren't on a very pleasant note, Arjun's exit from the film is on very cordial terms with his director. Apparently, Arjun and Farhan developed creative differences regarding the script and the role, and so decided it was best to part ways.

Congrats Sreeram Chandra

Top five breakups in Bollywood

5.Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh Chhote Nawab and Amrita Singh married for decent time and with two kids, unfortunately could not have been stronger. Saif had a shaky start to his career, then Kal Ho Na Ho happened and of course the famous Hum Tum. Saif got his first solo hit in the latter and said goodbye to Amrita. Sources claimed that he even withdrew all the money from their joint account just days before dropping the bombshell. Saif and Kareena are amongst most talked about couple these days.


4.Abhishek Bachchan and Karishma Kapoor was publicly declared as the Bachchan bahu at Amitabh Bachchan’s 60th birthday. However before anyone could say ‘Karisma Kapoor-Bachchan’ it was announced to the media that it was all over. Sources revealed that Jaya Bachchan was not in favor and that was that. It seems, had to tread very carefully because her daughter Shweta is married to Karisma’s father Randhir Kapoor’s nephew Nikhil Nanda. Abhishek and Karishma did a film together “Haan mainebhi pyaar kiya hai” which turned out to be a disaster, just like their relationship. 

3. Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor One of the most publicized break-up in bollywood. This one came as a shock to most people. After all, Kareena and Shahid had been seeing each other for the last three-odd years. Too much has been written about why and how it all happened. Soon enough Kareena was seeing Saif and Shahid is busy with Vidya Balan and later Priyanka Chopra.


2. Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Salman began to date Aishwarya after acting with her in 1999's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. Rumors already existed then that Salman Khan had physically abused a former girlfriend, Pakistani actress Somy Ali. However, Aishwarya, madly in Salman’s love, dared to ignore that. After ample amount of controversies, Salman and Ash broke-up. Ash is proud to be a Bachchan Bahu and Salman is having a good time with Katrina as girl friend. 


1. Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha Undoubtedly, Rekha and Amitabh is the most talked about couple in Bollywood till date. Starting from ” Do Anjane” this electrifying pair have appeared in “Alaap“, “Imaan Dharm“, “Khoon pasina“, ” Ganga ki saugandh“, “Muqaddar ka sikandar“,” Mr Natwar Lal“,” Suhaag“, “Ram Balram“, and Silsila. Well Silsila ended their pairing together and film was not commercially successful inspite of the propaganda that it was based on their real life story.

Toy Story 3 to hit $400 million!

How rare is the $400 million dollar movie?


This question seems particularly apropos considering that Disney/Pixar’s “Toy Story 3” is on the verge of reaching this historic milestone.  Through Tuesday, August 3, the 3-D animated juggernaut has earned $391.5 million in domestic revenue.  So let's break down the time line: with just over $5 million this past weekend and mid-weeks in the $1 million range it will most certainly reach $400 million during the week of August 9.

It’s astonishing to think that in the history of cinema that only 10 (yes you read it correctly, 10) films have ever crossed that milestone.  It’s also notable that six of those instances occurred in the last decade.

This statistic was shocking even to me, a jaded and long-term observer of box office trends and stats.  Just ten films out of the countless thousands of films released throughout the years.  Of course increased ticket prices have made this milestone possible, but it’s still no less of an achievement given the level of competition that exists in the overall entertainment universe.

Here is the list of the current members of the $400 million club:

Avatar -  $749.7 million
Titanic -  $600.8 million
The Dark Knight -  $533.3 million
Star Wars -  $460.9 million
Shrek 2 -  $436.7 million
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial -  $434.9 million
Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace -  $431.1 million
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest -  $423.3 million
Spider-Man -  $403.7 million
Transfomers: Revenge of the Fallen -  $402.1 million

The 'Poker Face' hitmaker has received nods in Best Pop Video, Best Dance Music Video, Best Female Video, Best Choreography and Best Collaboration, among others.
