Language no barrier for bilingual rapper Pitbull
MIAMI - During an early afternoon in Miami in January, over drinks with two local radio program directors, the conversation turned to rapper Pitbull. "He should come over and join us," said one, and impulsively picked up his cell phone and dialed. No more than 20 minutes later, there was Armando Christian Perez, aka Pitbull -- sans entourage or management -- chilling over martinis in a nearly empty restaurant overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Algerian independence film headlines Doha festival
DOHA - Stars including Salma Hayek, Freida Pinto and Kevin Spacey descended on Qatar this week for the second annual Doha Tribeca Film Festival, the Middle East branch of the celebrated New York event. Headlining the festival is French-Algerian director Rachid Bouchareb's action-thriller "Outside the Law," set against the backdrop of the Algerian struggle for independence from France after World War Two. The film set off protests at Cannes where it was screened earlier this year.
Russell Brand gets namesake bullock from animal group
NEW DELHI - Actor and long-time animal rights defender Russell Brand and wife singer Katy Perry received an unusual wedding gift on Friday from two animal rights groups in India -- a bullock named after Brand. The two were married at an exclusive resort in Rajasthan last week.
Jim Loach film debut follows in father's footsteps
ROME - Jim Loach made his debut as a film-maker in Rome Saturday, following in his father Ken's footsteps with the grim, real-life story of thousands of children deported from Britain to Australia until 1970. "Oranges and Sunshine," presented at the Rome film festival, brings to the big screen a little-known dark chapter in British history -- the shipping of tens of thousands of poor children to former colonies where many suffered abuse.
Brandy dances to new tune for girl who needs heart
LOS ANGELES - She is wowing fans on the reality TV contest "Dancing With the Stars" but behind the scenes this week, singer/actress Brandy has been in a more important competition. She is racing against time to help save the life of a teenager who needs a heart transplant. Brandy, who gained fame as chart topping R&B singer and actress on the TV show "Moesha," has been raising awareness and money for 16-year-old Jessica Harris, who suffers from a congenital heart defect. Known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the condition can be fatal.
New Zealand law passed to keep Hobbit amid protests
WELLINGTON - The New Zealand government on Friday passed legislation clearing the way for two "Hobbit" films to be made in the country despite stiff protest by opposition lawmakers who said it was a "day of shame." The government's decision to rush through amended labor laws, part of the deal made with Warner Bros. Pictures to keep director Peter Jackson's lucrative project in his native New Zealand, has split public opinion.
Gandolfini, Leo probe troubled marriage in "Rileys"
NEW YORK - It stars Kristen Stewart but is a far cry from her teen romance "Twilight" movies, and for adult audiences heading to see "Welcome to the Rileys" when it debuts in theaters on Friday, that may be a good thing. In a moviegoing era when producers are aiming big-budget fare mostly at teen audiences, adults are finding two few dramas dealing with topics more familiar to them than falling in love with vampires. In fact, that is what drew co-stars James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo to the dark film drama.
Anna Nicole Smith boyfriend convicted in drug trial
LOS ANGELES - Anna Nicole Smith's former boyfriend and a doctor were convicted on Thursday of helping to keep the former Playboy model supplied with painkillers and other prescription drugs before her death. But after a two month trial, a Los Angeles jury acquitted a second doctor on all charges in what was seen by the defense as a victory for physicians who treat patients with chronic pain.
"Saw 3D" set for killer opening at box office
LOS ANGELES - Rival studios are doging the extra-dimensional buzz saw of "Saw 3D" at the North American box office this weekend. Halloween crowds have been titillated by a new "Saw" picture annually since 2004, but the Lionsgate torture series has been losing its edge in recent years.
Ahead of D.C. rally, Stewart's influence blooms
NEW YORK - President Barack Obama's election led many political pundits to predict the popularity of American satirist Jon Stewart would wane. After all, mocking Republicans was his bread and butter. But two years later with the nation just days away from an election expected to shift the balance of power in Washington, Stewart and his Comedy Central stable mate Stephen Colbert are growing ever more successful.
