FridayMoviez News Desk: Victoria And David Beckham’s latest coup!

It was impossible for Victoria Beckham to look bad in any photo, even when she was pregnant.  Miss Posh of the “Spice Girls” fame, had been trying to keep a low profile & not be photographed in her delicate condition, but thanks to her hubby, footballer David Beckham, it was recently front and center for all to see!

The soccer star had uploaded a photo to Facebook of his wife sunbathing on Thursday writing, "Took this pic of Victoria while she wasn't looking....she looks amazing! So close now to the baby being born!" 

Ironically, this occurred days after the former Spice Girl told Women's Wear Daily that she didn't want to expose her baby bump on magazine covers like some of her pregnant predecessors including Demi Moore and Britney Spears.

Later, shortly after Victoria gave birth yesterday morning, Sunday, 10^th June, proud dad David announced the name of his much awaited daughter also on his Facebook page.

The footballer, who was with Victoria at the Cedars Sinai Medical Centre hospital, wrote: "I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter ‘Harper Seven’ Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx"

The couple are already parents to three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6.  This is the baby girl that they always wanted!

Speaking of the joy of their new arrival, a source revealed that David has been "crying with joy. They are all so happy."

Congratulations to David and Victoria!

FridayMoviez News Desk: Hollywood’s Weekend Bad News...

It’s a widely-known rule of thumb by Hollywood insiders that the best time to release bad news is just before—or during—a holiday weekend. The news dump, as it’s called, is ideal for lessening the impact of a potentially large story because the public is likely not paying as much attention to their regular news feeds due to celebrations and vacations.

This 4th of July weekend has proven to be no different, as two such stories were released Friday.

1.       Maria Shriver files for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger:

The former first lady of California waited nearly two months after announcing her separation from Schwarzenegger, who revealed he’d fathered an illegitimate child with the couple’s household employee during his and Shriver’s 25-year marriage. Shriver, who is asking for joint custody of the couple’s underage sons Patrick and Christopher, signed the divorce documents June 18, but waited until the Friday before the Independence Day weekend to file time with the Los Angeles Superior Court.

2.        Linda Evangelista names Salma Hayek’s husband Francois-Henri Pinault as the father of her son:

The supermodel named Hayek’s French billionaire husband, the CEO at fashion company PPR, as the father of her four-year-old son, Augustin James Evangelista (who’s the same age as Pinault’s daughter, Valentina, with Hayek) in Manhattan court Thursday. Evangelista filed a petition seeking child support from Pinault after years of denying reports that he was the father. One might conclude that information obtained from Evangelista's Thursday day court appearance, perhaps knowingly wouldn't have appeared in the news until Friday.

FridayMoviez News Desk: “Cars 2” Tops Weekend Box-Office!

To the surprise of no one, a Pixar picture topped the box office in its debut weekend.

“Cars 2”, or as someone called it: “Finally, a Pixar movie that won’t make you violently sob in front of your children!”, weathered some surprisingly savage reviews to still debut with $68 million over the weekend.

The big question mark, aside from the obvious ‘how will the movie play?’, remains its 3D screens.

The film played 38% 3D, which makes sense considering the demographic and Disney seems to have played it smart by booking plenty of 2D screens since families with very young children are that much less willing to shell out the extra money for glasses that their kids won’t wear.

Alas, the film, no matter how successful, will start bleeding screens as soon as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II” needs 3D screens on July 15th.

“Cars 2” took most of its 3D screens from “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (which has now made more money overseas that any other movie save “Titanic” and “Avatar”) and “Kung Fu Panda 2” (which crossed $150 million this weekend, as it races towards $500 million overseas).

So “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” will take away its IMAX screens from “Cars 2” and                  “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II” will start the 3D screen-theft process in just three weeks. Point being, even in its apparent 3D caution, Pixar/Disney may just have sacrificed long term play-ability for short-term cash flow.

Joy (?) of Parenthood

Celebrities are not just loved, admired, adored for their roles in the movies, but people want to know their favourite colour, car, their family, relationship status, etc… It’s like, it is not their life; it is people’s life. Aishwarya Rai  Bachchan is one such person who is always surrounded by questions. Who is her current boyfriend? When will she get married? To whom? Where is the wedding? What is she wearing?  One would have thought this curiosity will die down now that she is married. But No! She was not even married for a month and rumours of her expecting a child started surfacing. Now finally it is officially out that this beauty and her prince charming Abhishek are expecting a child.

The news about Abhi-Ash expecting their first baby has sent a wave of excitement among people. So now new questions will circle this family- Whether it will be a girl or a boy? One child or twins? Will the baby get mom’s eyes and dad’s height? Will the baby act or not act? The Bachchan family is being pestered with these and many such questions. Interesting part though is there have been many celebrity moms before but none of them received so much of attention. The baby is definitely going to enter this world with a spotlight always on him/her.

Friday Moviez News Desk: Winner of Sidney Film Festival!

THIS year's Sydney Film Festival concluded yesterday 19^th June ’11, awarding its $60,000 Sydney Film Prize to Iranian film “A Separation”.

Artistic director Clare Stewart ended her fifth and final festival with justifiable pride, and ahead of budget. The Sydney Film Prize was also established by Stewart.

The $60,000 prize is a boon for any filmmaker, though the commercial constraints on selecting 12 varied films within the prize's vision remain considerable.

The prize looks for films that demonstrate "emotional power and resonance; are audacious, cutting-edge, courageous; and go beyond the usual treatment of the subject matter".

"In our final deliberations we found two very different films about the relationships between men and women came closest to fitting these criteria," Chinese filmmaker Chen Kaige said, on behalf of the jury.

A Separation "looks beneath the surface of relations between men and women in Iran in a way that raises questions about law, freedom and feminine and masculine honour. It is a courageous film, successfully executed."

The jury also commended Egyptian film Cairo 678 "for its courage in using a popular form of cinema to successfully communicate the frustration and anger of women in Egypt with sexual harassment, and their determination to change this".

Among other winners, “Life In Movement”, the documentary about Tanja Liedtke, the artistic director of the Sydney Dance Company who died tragically aged 29, won the $10,000 documentary prize. Pauline Chan's Chinese-Australian co-production, “33 Postcards”, a Sydney drama starring Zhu Lin and Guy Pearce, won the $5000 award for films with a multicultural perspective. Dario Russo, creator of the Italian Spiderman web series, won the $5000 Peter Rasmussen Innovation Award, the Dendy Award for Best Live Action Short went to Anthony Maras's “The Palace”; the Rouben Mamoulian Award for Best Director went to Craig Irvin and Ashley Harris's “Tethered”; and the winner of the Yoram Gross Animation Award was “Nullarbor” written and directed by Alister Lockhart and Patrick Sarell.

This is another step forward for a festival still re-establishing itself on the global film circuit.
