Posted: 19 Aug 2009 09:00 AM PDT Your mobile can tell who your friends are - The cellphone in your pocket can reveal who are your real friends, and how you interact with them, according to a five-year-long study. The study has opened new possibilities for social scientists, epidemiologists, and other researchers to understand how people connect and interact socially. Nathan Eagle of the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico and his colleagues Sandy Pentland of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and David Lazer of Northeastern University in Boston handed out cellphones to 94 volunteers at MIT. The phones were modified with software that logged the volunteers'' calls, and used Bluetooth to detect when another of the phones was close by. They looked for simple patterns in the logs of calls and times when phones were close together, and found that it was possible to predict who the volunteers would identify as their friends with 95 per cent accuracy. For example, being nearby on campus during work hours meant little, but if two phones were close together for several hours on a Saturday evening their owners were likely to be friends. "You can think of it as a behavioural signature," New Scientist quoted Eagle as saying. The scientists could also link the phone data to the volunteers'' satisfaction at work. They found that people who reported themselves to be less satisfied were less likely to have friends in close proximity, and more likely to call friends during work hours. The phones proved more accurate than the volunteers themselves at measuring how much time they spent physically near to others. It was found that people typically overestimated how much time they spent close to friends, and underestimated how much time they spent with more casual contacts. Although some of these findings may sound obvious, the study has offered an important proof of principle - the gadgets we carry day-to-day can accurately record the nuances of our relationships. Using cellphones for social science research could replace interviews, which are laborious and sometimes unreliable, to find out about people''s lives. The cellphone approach may also have immediately practical applications such as helping epidemiologists predict how swine flu will spread from person to person. The study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

If Hugh Hefner's girlie magazine for men came to India, as is feared, who would be the 'most wanted' Indian subjects for a cover? indiatimes.com ran an online poll that revealed Mallika Sherawat, Katrina Kaif and Sherlyn Chopra would be the top three. Read why these girls were chosen over the rest of Bollywood's hotties to be, well, desi bunnies.... Mallika Sherawat (1st place) Mallika has moved her base to LA and guess it's helping as the actress' popularity on the basis of her sex appeal is at its peak. The actress who isn't seen in Bollywood these days topped the poll with 20 per cent surfers voting she had the greatest potential to pose for the cover. Mallika's curvaceous body would look great on the cover was the reason behind her votes. Katrina Kaif (2nd place) The gorgeous Katrina followed Mallika closely with 14 per cent votes. Katrina comes across as a demure beauty; to see her going bold would be interesting was the opinion of her voters. The actress' popularity in Hindi films also contributed to her second position. Sherlyn Chopra (3rd place) Sherlyn, who will be seen in Aditya Chopra's forthcoming film Dil Bole Hadippa, secured her place in the top three as she won 12 per cent votes in the poll. Sherlyn was voted for her perfect body and confidence. Surfers even labelled Sherlyn as the 'Carmen Electra' of Bollywood. Bipasha Basu (4th place) Bipasha came in fourth in the poll by winning 9 per cent votes. Bipasha Basu's raw sensuality would make for the perfect cover was the common opinion. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (5th place) Ash managed to get herself in the fifth position as 8 per cent fans voted for the former Miss World as a potential playmate. The actress representing India abroad and her being the perfect Indian beauty worked in her favour. Priyanka & Celina (6th place) Priyanka Chopra and Celina Jaitly shared the sixth place in the poll as both got 5 per cent votes each. Priyanka is a bit too skinny, while Celina is not much in the news and thus not hot enough, was the complaint and the reason for their sixth place standing in the poll. Deepika, Kareena, Shilpa, Sushmita, Lara, Minissha, Kangna (7th place) All the above actresses got 3 per cent votes each and thus ranked seventh. They won't make for a great cover was the common opinion. Shriya, Sonam, Neha (8th place) Sonam Kapoor, Neha Dhupia and Shriya Saran came in the 8th place as they garnered 2 per cent votes each. Most of their admirers believed they looked better in Indian clothes so it would be difficult to visualise them as sexy covergirls. Carmen Electra, Pamela Anderson, Naomi Campbell, Denise Richards, Anna Nicole Smith, Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford are women who have dazzled on the cover of this American adult magazine before. Kaminey making a killing overseas Posted: 19 Aug 2009 08:58 AM PDT Exceeding the expectations of the distributors and exhibitors, the Vishal Bhardwaj-directed Kaminey grossed nearly $7 million worldwide including Pakistan in its three days of release, though its release in Mumbai was delayed by a few days because of the swine flu threat. There are hopes that Kaminey could become the second highest grossing Bollywood film so far this year after Love Aaj Kal . "The numbers could have been a few notch higher had the film opened in Mumbai on August 14," said Lokesh Dhar, the vice-president of UTV Motion Pictures (USA). "Usually Mumbai shows the way in deciding a film's fate but here the city had to wait for the film for several days. Meanwhile, the buzz Kaminey had created elsewhere was reaching the city with the people becoming even hungrier to see it." "As it is the film is a blast," he added. "It is nice to see a film getting excellent reviews turning into a box-office hit." Prime-time shows for the film in major cities such as New York, Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco and Los Angles went full throughout the weekend, according to producer and distributor UTV. The huge opening for Kaminey and the lingering support for the hit Love Aaj Kal delivered a fatal blow to the Govinda starring comedy Life Partner that made less than $100,000 on both sides of the Atlantic. Some people may wonder why Life Partner went against Kaminey, a distributor said. But distributors believe they have no choice in releasing their smaller films the same week as big budget glossy films are released. There is a bottleneck because of the long hiatus caused by the conflict between the producers and exhibitors in India. Kaminey, which reportedly cost $8 million, grossed a hefty $726,834 in 82 location in America and Canada . It was less than stellar in the United Kingdom where it made $183,000 in three days. It lost quite a bit of steam in that territory because of the mandatory 15-plus certificates that limited family audience's support for the movie. But in the UAE it grossed an impressive $413,000 and in Pakistan, a healthy $100,000. UTV says that the film is doing steady business in the weekdays, especially in the United Kingdom. The film has performed as if is a star-driven vehicle and Shahid Kapoor has suddenly jumped into the A list artists. Even though Priyanka Chopra has a meaty role in the film, it is far smaller compared to that of Shahid who plays twins with the opposing temperaments. In New York-New Jersey area viewers were heard telling their friends not to miss the film. "It is amazing to see India making a sophisticated thrillers," said one grad student. An elderly man said he was going to recommend the film to his friends. "I liked Omkara but it was too dark and depressing," he said. "This film has dark moments too but on the whole, it is a film that thrills and uplifts you.". A businessman echoed his thoughts. "It is very difficult to categorise this film," he said. "To call it a mere thriller does not do it justice. But seeing it the second time makes a lot of sense. It is a very entertaining but complex film.' - source - http://movies.rediff.com Elesh can't support me: Rakhi Sawant Posted: 19 Aug 2009 08:57 AM PDT Rakhi Sawant may have gone through the entire pre-shaadi sham by playing the head-to-toe covered, soft-spoken coy Indian bride in Rakhi Ka Swayamvar but she clearly couldn't keep up with the bhartiya naari image for long. Now, as the shooting of her second reality show based on parenting starts today with Rakhi and her 'fiancé' Elesh Parujanwala playing mother and father respectively, the vociferous Rakhi startlingly admits that babies and household chores bore her to death. Also, she says she will marry Elesh only when he becomes financially self-sufficient. "I've a migraine problem. When a child cries, I get a severe headache. I don't know how I'll manage for a month with a stranger's child. On top of that I've to cook on the show. I can't cook to save my life," she says. Ask her how she will cope when she has her own kids and Rakhi replies, "Apna bachcha to har koi paal leta hai, jaanwar bhi. I don't know how I'll cope. I think I'm going to lose my cool completely. So far people have only seen the good Rakhi Sawant. Now they'll see the real me. I can't even use makeup. Can you imagine Rakhi Sawant without makeup?" She quickly says that she'll marry Elesh only when he becomes economically self sufficient. "It's my life and a decision like marriage should be left to me only. Elesh may be the best person in the world but he may not be the best person for me. I don't want him to be another Abhishek Awasthi in my life. Yes, we're engaged. I like him a lot. But how can I hand over my life to someone who isn't earning a proper living? That's why we're going on another reality show to see whether we're really as compatible as we seemed on Rakhi Ka Swayamvar. I didn't get enough time with him on that show. You and I saw his best face. Now I want to see the real Elesh. I want to marry a man who can support me. When we go to a restaurant he should pay the bill, not me. In India, wives are supposed to be looked after by husbands, not vice versa. He has seen how I live. I don't want him to come and stay in my house I want to live in his house. I will wait for him to afford a house," she adds. In her typical drama queen mode, she bursts into tears and says, "Mere dil mein bahut taqleef hai. Will Elesh be able to support me financially? I don't want him to be known as Rakhi Sawant's husband. Mujhe waqt chahiye. I feel I'm stuck in a stormy ocean. I can't climb the cross just to please the public. He has nothing of his own in Mumbai, not even a home. He needs time to settle down. In the meanwhile people are spreading dirty rumours about me. Ek insaan kitna bardaasht kare?" Coming back to what she calls the beginning of her good days, Rakhi adds, "I know Elesh is a decent guy. But is that enough? Abhishek Awasthi was so decent but he was always known as Rakhi's boyfriend."

Jackson will be interred Aug. 29, which would have been his 51st birthday, in an intimate morning service for family and friends in the expansive cemetery's Great Mausoleum, according to a statement from the family publicist. The pop singer's remains will be placed in a crypt in the Holly Terrace section of the mausoleum, a massive building that is the final resting place for stars from film's golden age, such as Jean Harlow, Carole Lombard and Clark Gable. Jackson, who spent lavishly on antiques and fancy reproductions, is to be placed in an area decorated by sculptures and bronzes of American icons, including George Washington, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt on a property that has replicas of Michelangelo statues and a stained glass window depicting the "Last Supper." The funeral announcement capped two months of rumors that began even before Jackson's gold-plated casket was rolled into Staples Center on July 7 for a televised memorial. That day began with a service at Forest Lawn but ended without a burial or interment. One report had his body stored in a crypt owned by Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., and there was widespread speculation that an elaborate grave -- and ultimately, a Graceland-style museum -- would be constructed at the entertainer's Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-jackson-glendale19-2009aug19,0,7850682.story Dil Bol Hadippa release date to be fixed in accordance with Rani's rashi Posted: 19 Aug 2009 08:52 AM PDT Rani Mukerji is going through a slump, and she may have her stars to blame for it. Apparently, they haven't been aligned in her favour for two years now. And who can fight destiny? Certainly not her boyfriend, Aditya Chopra, who has decided to schedule the release of her film Dil Bole Hadippa after September 9. For that's when her unfavourable period ends. After flops like Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Rani only has Dil Bole Hadippa in her kitty. She has been confined to Aditya Chopra's production house, Yash Raj Films, and refrains from working with other banners. Hence, Dil Bole Hadippa is critical for her career. A source close to the actress said, "She is going through an unfortunate period in her rashi for two years. It ends on September 9. Adi wanted to release the film by the end of August or the first week of September. Now, the film has been postponed to the second week of September." Aditya Chopra has apparently been told that it would be better if he takes Rani's stars into consideration. Yash Raj Films, which had taken a beating at the box-office with their earlier films, has finally bounced back with New York. Why take a chance and tempt fate? Hence, he is wisely mulling over the wait. After all, the wait might be worth it. Hrithik Roshan's life changing experience with 'Guzaarish' Posted: 19 Aug 2009 08:52 AM PDT Actor Hrithik Roshan had a life changing experience while preparing for his role in of a paraplegic in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Guzaarish". The actor, who met with people suffering from the disorder while working on his role, came across some young, talented people who were left incapacitated due to paraplegia. The experience has left a deep impact on the actor's mind and he has decided to help them monetarily as well as through any other means possible, a source close to Hrithik said. "Hrithik is taking his role very seriously and has been reading up on paraplegia and watching videos to understand and study their mannerisms and behaviour. "In fact, he even visited several people affected by the disease to get a first hand account of their experiences," the source said. The first schedule of the film is already in progress.
