London, Nov 29: The legend of "Bigfoot" is not only real, but the creature is a direct relative of man and had sex with human females 15,000 years ago, says a new study that used so-called real DNA samples.
Texan veterinarian-researcher Melba S. Ketchum and her firm DNA Diagnostics worked for five years, and concluded that the mythic Bigfoot is indeed a human hybrid that descended from human women who mated with men of "an unknown hominin species", the Daily Mail reported.
However, Ketchum has presented no evidence yet for her findings, nor has she had her work reviewed by peers, the daily said.
Ketchum said mitochondrial DNA in the samples, which she apparently obtained from leftover blueberry bagels eaten by a family of 10 bigfoots who lived in Michigan, show clear evidence of genetic mixing.
Scientists have demanded that Ketchum present her evidence but she has so far declined to make anything public.
If her study is proven, it would suggest two options for scientists -- one that Bigfoot did have sex with ancient human women 15,000 years ago, and created a half-human hybrid species which is currently hiding in North America, and another is that the samples are contaminated.
Ketchum said the US government should immediately recognise Bigfoot as "an indigenous people and immediately protect their human and Constitutional rights".

With speculations rife on Telangana decision from Centre especially even in the wake of home minister Sabita Indra Reddy's statement that she would expect a decision on Telangana on or before December 9, AICC in charge of AP affairs, Vayalar Ravi has stressed that centre could not say as to when it would make a decision on the issue. Vayalar Ravi told this to be a vernacular news channel in the state. Apparently, he has reportedly said that talks on Telangana issue would be carried out. It looked like Vayalar Ravi indirectly told home minister and others, who are hoping a statement on Telangana, that any statement would not be made in near future.
Mass Maharaaja Ravi Teja is just concentrating on completing the shoot of his films and getting them ready for release...

Tollywood actor Nani has completed giving dubbing for his forth coming big project, Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu. Directed by Gautam Menon in Telugu and Tamil versions, YVM has Nani in the lead in Telugu version while Jeeva in Tamil. However, heroine Samantha will play lead in both these versions. Recently, Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu (YVM) completed its shooting following which post production works began. This movie has high expectations from the public given it's a product of Gautam Menon who gave Ye Maya Chesave to Telugu audience and even silver screen life to Samantha for that matter.
YVM is also a classic romantic tale just like Gautam's other movies. However, there will undoubtedly be something unique in the story line and the screenplay. To know how YVM will be, one has to wait till December 14 as Yeto Vellipoindi Manasu would be released on that day. For now, enjoy the music of YVM composed by maestro Ilayaraja.

Hyderabad, Nov 26: Six people, including a week-old baby, were killed in a massive fire that broke out in sheds erected for a film shoot and later spread to a residential building at Poppalaguda on the city's outskirts, police said Monday.
Three others were injured in the tragedy Sunday night, one of the worst fire accidents in the city in recent times.
The incident occurred at Sriramnagar colony at Poppalaguda in Ranga Reddy district.
Two women and a week-old baby were among those killed. The building watchman died of suffocation after he was trapped in the lift.
After battling for nearly two hours, three fire tenders and fire fighting personnel managed to douse the flames, which had engulfed four floors of the apartment building.
According to police, plastic and other combustible material used for film shooting was dumped in a shed, which caught fire around 8.30 a.m.
Witnesses said that within a few minutes, flames and smoke engulfed the adjacent Baba Nivas apartment. The staircase close to the shed filled with thick smoke, making it impossible for residents to escape.
Locals and fire fighting personnel rescued some people from the other side of the building.
State Home Minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy, who rushed to the scene and supervised rescue and relief work, announced an inquiry into the cause of the fire. The blaze was suspected to have been caused by short circuit.
As locals complained that fire tenders reached late, causing the high casualty figure, the home minister explained that the delay was because fire station personnel took time to trace the locality.
She said awareness would be created among the fire services staff about the new residential areas on the city's periphery.
Speaking to the media here on Monday, he said the Suryapet meeting was only for saving the existence of TRS and not for Telangana. He said it was heinous that KCR was trying to gain from the martyrdom of innocent Telangana students and youth. He said even if Telangana was conceded, YSRCP would rule in both the states. He said KCR was frightened at the increasing influence of his party in the Telangana region and was struggling for his own existence. He said this was the reason why he was talking as he liked.
Reminding that TRS ministers were in the cabinet when Pulichintala decision was taken, Jitta has questioned why they had not opened their mouths then. He has also told that it was due to YSR that NIMS was started in Bibinagar and added that it would have become operational by now, if only YSR was alive.
Jitta has questioned KCR why he was not talking about Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and their Congress party. He has also questioned what happned to KCR's fight on Wakf land allotments. Reminding that it was already 3 years since YSR died, Jitta questioned who was stopping Telangana now.
Hyderabad,
Nov 26: TRS MP and former actress Vijaya Santi has made it clear that
she has no differences with the party chief K Chandrasekhara Rao.
Vijaya
Santi has not attended the Samara Bheri at Suryapet in Nalgonda
district on Sunday. Media reports said that differences sprouted between
the two and Vijaya Santi deliberately abstained from the meeting.
However
the MP said she could not attend the meeting as she has been suffering
from fever for the last two days. She said she has even informed KCR
about her condition and inability to attend the meeting.
Bollywood hot actress Sonakshi Sinha is rumored to be dating
with sports and celebrity manager Bunty Sachdeva. This man is
brother-in-law of actor Sohail Khan and also handles the endorsements
which are signed by Soankshi in recent times. Their relation was started
as a professional one and soon it take a personal route with common
interests finding a rare match. Now, Bunty is more than just a manager
to Sonkashi.
Although the actress is doing her level
best to keep this romantic relation as a secret hiding from media, the
one or other news is leaked quite often. Sona's daughter Shatrugan Sinha
may give an answer on this because when Sonakshi's dad has recently fell sick, it was Bunty who stood by the family.
Every now and then, the channel reportedly tries to erode the image of Power Star pawan kalyan. On 23rd November, the channel telecasted a programme on pawan kalyan's directors and their failures, working for the second time with pawan kalyan.
As per the channel, Bhemaneni Srinivasa Rao, Karunakaran,Puri Jagannadh
and SJ Surya gave the hits 'Suswagatham', 'Tholiprema', 'Badri',
'Khushi' respectively.
As per the channel's version, the second
ventures of above directors such as, 'Annavaram', 'Balu', 'Cameraman
Gangatho Rambabu' and 'Komaram Puli' could not do well. In fact,
'Annavaram' and 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' were proved to be above
average grossers at the box office. However, the channel mentioned them
as flop and average respectively.
WHY DID THE CHANNEL TELECAST THE PROGRAMME?: On the same day, pawan kalyan and Trivikram's new movie was launched. Trivikram is doing his second venture with pawan kalyan
in this movie. So, the channel has reportedly decided to tease the duo.
Perhaps, the hero and the director teach a lesson to the channel
through their movie, making it a hit.
Nalgonda,
Nov 20: Former Minister and Nalgonda MLA Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has
said that he had resigned his minister post for the sake of separate
Telangana State. However he has started singing a new song. He said he
would not join the YSR Congress, but launch a new party or a front.
Talking to the media here on Tuesday, he said he never called Sonia Gandhi an angel.
Referring
to the charge of TRS that he was a traitor of Telangana, he has
questioned if all those who do not join the TRS would be branded as
traitors. Reminding that he has quit the cabinet for Telangana,
Komatireddy has said he would announce his future course of action on
December 9 if Congress leadership does not announce its decision on
Telangana by then. He said he would plan his future after consulting
union minister Jaipal Reddy and state minister Jana Reddy.
Only
on Monday Komatireddy said their leader and MP Gutta Sukhinder Reddy
has decided to join the YSRCP and he and his brother and MP Rajagopal
Reddy would follow him. But he now says he was misquoted. TV channels
have shown the visuals and also telecast his exact dialogues. Still
Komatireddy has chosen to deny the news.
Telugu
actor Rajasekhar, known for playing dedicated and patriotic policeman
in most of his films, says he always looks forward to slip into the
khakee uniform on big screen.
"Most memorable roles in my
career have been those of a cop I've played in several of my films. I
don't discard my other films, but playing cop has always been special
because it gives me a sense of pride in the work I'm doing"," Rajasekhar
told.
Some of the films in which the actor donned the khakee uniform are "Ankusam", "Evadaithe Nakenti" and "Satyameva Jayate".
He won a Filmfare Award for best actor for his role in "Ankusam".
The
50-year-old, who debuted in 1985 with Telugu film "Vande Matharam",
will again be seen as a policeman in his wife Jeevitha's Telugu
directorial venture "Mahankali", an actioner.
Kajal, who is perhaps the most sought after heroine in the Telugu and Tamil industries down south, has always worked with the top directors and she considers herself to be lucky. Her recent film ‘Thuppaki’ is doing well both in Telugu and Tamil. This pretty lasso is happy for the success of the film, but very disappointed with the director A.R. Murugadoss. First, her role is not a prominent one in the movie and didn’t get any mileage for her out of the film. Second, she is not considered for the heroine role opposite Akshay Kumar in the Bollywood remake. A.R. Murugadoss is remaking the movie with Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra reprising the role of Kajal in the Hindi version. The film will go on to the sets this December.
Film industry must run on the values of ethics and principles but there are those rotten bugs in the circuit who bring bad name to the entire industry with their behavior. The sad part is, such people exist even in the top range also. Despite having money and everything, their basic character is cheap.
The reason for this discussion is after hearing about one producer. He is known as one of the top producers and recently his name came up due to a controversy. Anyways, it is heard that this producer has got the habit of womanizing and that is a common thing in industry but here is the difference.
It is heard that this producer uses a girl only once and never goes back to her. While that is one side, the worst part in him is, he doesn’t pay that girl. Basically, he simply applies the ‘use and throw’ formula on the girls. Using it in work is known but doing like this even on bed is something disgusting. Shame on this man!!
With the Komatireddy brothers – Bhongir MP K Rajagopal Reddy and Nalgonda MLA K Venkat Reddy, more or less disclosing their mind to quit the Congress and jump into the YSR Congress, they have started receiving brickbats from their detractors.
Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Palwai Goverdhan Reddy described the Komatireddy brothers as betrayers of Telangana.
“Late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy was dead against Telangana state. And his son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy also displayed his anti-Telangana stand. How can Komatireddy brothers who claim to be championing the Telangana cause join the YSR Congress?” he asked.
Palwai alleged that the Komatireddy brothers had amassed huge wealth with the patronage of YSR.
“Komatireddy brothers were interested only in money making and contracts, rather than Telangana. I have been predicting for a long time that they would leave the Congress party to join the Jagan camp,” he pointed out.
Kajal Agarwal, the actress who has been on cloud 9 with her recent super hit ‘Thupaki’, both in Telugu and Tamil says that she will never do any film that keeps the heads of her family members down. She also added that she wants to see all her films with her family members.
Well, she has to answer if she watched the hot kiss song on her from Chandamama along with family members.
Keeping that away, she said that she denied the opportunity to do the film ‘The Dirty Picture’ when she first got the offer of its remake, for only reason that she needs to do a couple of topless and bold scenes.
Not stopping at that she also added, “I have respect for Vidya Balan. She wouldn’t have done that role in ‘The Dirty Picture”.
Well, Kajal should know Vidya got huge fame in national level and also bagged awards for her performance in the film. Otherwise, we should understand that Kajal is envious of Vidya!
Though Tollywood and Telugu entertainment has been filled with many
north Indian and other regional beauties, finding a proper bunch of
Telugu girls is hard. Telugu ladies doing something bold and glamorous
is not seen naturally and that’s why the scarcity of seeing authentic
Telugu artists.
But here is one girl who seems to be ready to break the shackles. Her name is Madhoo and she is a noted singer. She has come up with a private video album and one of her numbers has been getting a good response across the web. It is not only Madhoo’s sensuous voice but also her native sex appeal which adds to it.
So far it has been ‘Hai Rabba’ Smitha who is the native Telugu hotshot and local pop diva. But it looks like one more name has joined that list in the form of Madhoo. Click the link below and enjoy this sensation folks-

Nandamuri Balakrishna who was on a signing spree till few months back has applied brakes suddenly and since past few months not one announcement has been made about his films. However, inside talk is that Balayya has begun to focus on his 100th film but with few hiccups.
Buzz is that Balayya is keen to remake the black and white classic ‘Narthanashala’ as his 100th film but since it is a mythological film, there are a lot of budget tensions attached to it. But still it is heard that Balayya wants to materialize it but they might be taking a safer route. And there is a wide belief that such budgeted films should be handled by brains like Rajamouli.
Sometime back, Rajamouli had revealed about his dream of doing a film on Mahabharata so the makers of ‘Narthanasala’ are approaching him for directing. But since Rajamouli is busy with his own projects they might request him to at least take care of the script and screenplay departments. Whether he will accept this or not remains to be seen.
Hyderabad,
Nov 19: Unidentified people set afire six cars near the Andhra Pradesh
High Court early Monday, police said. The arson attack took place when
the situation in the old city was returning to normal after violent
incidents Friday.
Police said cars parked in the Ghansi
Bazar area near the high court premises were set ablaze by some youths
who came on motorcycles. Police have retrieved the footage of the
arsonists from closed circuit cameras installed in the area and were
trying to identify them.
The footage showed a youth
pouring petrol on a car and setting it afire before fleeing on a
motorcycle with his accomplice. The attack was recorded 3.20 a.m.
Police
suspect it to be an attempt to incite violence in the old city, which
witnessed a series of attacks and clashes in the past two weeks over a
temple abutting the historic Charminar monument. As many as 10 people
were injured and many vehicles were set afire during the violence near
Charminar Friday.
The communally-sensitive area was
simmering over alleged expansion of the temple abutting the Charminar in
violation of court orders.
Accusing the Congress
government of colluding with communal forces, its ally
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) last week withdrew support to it.
Chief
Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy Monday reviewed the law and order
situation with Director General of Police Dinesh Reddy and other top
police officials.
Big butt is a healthy sign
London,
Nov 19: Men get heart attacks by watching shapely butts of women. Some
made a forward march in their careers with their backs turned to the
front. Socialite and US reality TV star Kim Kardashian is more famous by
her hind than anything else. Even actress Jennifer Lopez's hind is more
talked about, than her other exceptional talents.
Apart
form the sensation it might cause, a heavy posterior is a sign of good
health, a new research suggests. The extra padding on the backside and
thighs could even help to protect against disease.
Researchers
have conducted studies on health effects of fat stores in different
parts of human body, particularly around hips and thighs. Lead
researcher Konstantinos Manolopoulos of the University of Oxford,
England says that body's fat distribution was quite important for one's
health. His new article summarizes a body research showing that such hip
and thigh fat can help to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart
diseases. In an article researchers of Harvard published the results of
their study in the scientific journal 'Cell Metabolism', they said
popular pear shape producing a large derriere in women may actually be
protecting them against Type 2 diabetes because their bodies make better
use of Insulin. Researcher Dr. Ronald Kahn said he was surprised to
learn the fat in the rear was healthy. He said, “I think it points to a
special aspect of fat where we need to do more research.”
Dr. Kahn thinks that this was great and could lead to finding another drug that might help develop a big hind.
Hyderabad, Nov 19: “Time and trouble will tame a wise statesman, but an arrogant politician is uncontrollable by any earthly force”
Once
again, as his penchant for deadlines, Telangana Rashtra Samithi
president K Chandrasekhar Rao predicted the fall of Kiran Kumar Reddy
Regime in 10-15 days.
This time around his Nostradamus act
may not be inasmuch ugly as it appears or may not turn out to be as
ridiculous as his earlier deadlines, for there are a good number of
Congress legislators looking to cross fences or eager to convert their
affiliations to secure their future.
The only factor that
might make this latest prediction of KCR to turn out to be as grotesque
as his earlier such numerous deadlines is that there are not enough
fence sitters who wanted to face an immediate election in case the
government falls. Hence, it is highly likely that the Government might
survive the scare of no confidence motion.
To say that KCR
sprang a surprise by doing another act of Nostradamus may not be
without reason since the irrepressible lot within the Congress is far
less to make up for numbers that would make it mandatory for a transfer
of power, thus any attempt to oust the Government would only lead to an
election. And, none, including the TDP, is prepared for it as any
immediacy in polls would be perilous to every contender for power, owing
to his/her own set of woes.
Talking about KCR’s penchant
for deadlines, it is surprising that KCR, somehow, stopped setting
deadlines on Telangana, the bread and butter issue of his politics, the
catalyst agenda of his evolution as a politician and instead he began to
set deadlines on the future of other parties and even on the survival
of the governments. A unique change indicating how fast the politicians
adapt to situations.
It is surprising or uncanny that not setting anymore deadlines have become a doctrinaire choice or forced option for him.
Or
it appears so, for he knows the Congress would not toe his line on the
statehood issue and it has firmly driven a point(or is it “Signal”) in
no nonsensical way during his so called confabulations with its think
tanks in New Delhi that he could not have the Telangana state on
platter before 2014 Assembly elections. Or has he at last realized that
there is a great risk in crying wolf one time too more?
On
the sidelines of above deadline over the future of Kiran’s government,
KCR also juxtaposed subtly some more messages like TRS is not an
‘obstructing association” to prevent anybody’s padayatra and BJP would
continue in the TJAC as he is unclear as of now on his future plans
vis-à-vis electoral understandings with other parties.
The
statement that TRS will not prevent anybody’s Padayatra assumes
significance, when YS Sharmila is all set to enter Telangana in a few
days from now. Similarly his nod to allow BJP to continue to be part of
TJAC assumes importance as not very long ago he anointed a communal tag
to BJP and vowed to maintain a distance from it.
Is he
designing a strategy to knit an alliance among the YSRCP, the BJP and
the TRS? If that is the motif, it may practically prove to be futile
exercise. The amalgamation of anti-Kiran or anti-congress forces doesn’t
mean their absorption of agendas into one another. The YSR Congress has
almost shaken its hands with Majlis-e-Ittehaadul Muslimeen. But he may
be nursing an ambition to sail with the BJP, if the situation warrants
and if the latter appears stronger in the days to come.
On
the sidelines of the above, the Chieftain of TRS also embarked upon
taming some elements among TJAC who nursed ambitions to tame KCR on
running the affairs of Telangana movement. And he did tame them the way
only he can do. In doing so he once again proved that he is the “Master”
of Telangana politics and would not hesitate to crush uncompromisingly
anyone who tries to replace him from that position.
KCR’s
pronouncement that ‘nobody’s padayatra would be interrupted’ is seen
more as a diktat handed out to Telangana JAC convener Prof M Kodandaram,
who is badly bruised over his feeble attempt to protest the entry of
CBN into Telangana region and also for trying to deal Telangana movement
against the whims of KCR.
After his feeble attempt and
KCR’s subtle message that TRS is not an “Obstructing Association”,
Kodandaram would now remain silent and suffer in humility rather than to
hold futile demonstrations before Telangana antagonists. In
anticipation of the adherence to the orders of the vanguard of Telangana
politics, poor Kodandaram is allowed or permitted to participate in the
‘Samarabheri’ meet at Suryapet on November 23 and ‘deeksha divas’ on
November 29 as a gesture of superciliousness.
With one
shrewd move, KCR made Kodandaram to be more apologetic than assertive
and prevailed over him on who the boss is when it comes to championing
the politics on Telangana issue. He sent a clear message to Kodandaram
and his ilk in TJAC that he doesn’t need anybody to dictate him or
impress upon him on how to deal with the politics of Telangana
movement.
He might allow JACs and Kodandarams and other
Telangana protagonists to announce agendas, but they would remain just
customary pronouncements.
KCR did it in 12 years many a time and continues to do so uncompromisingly.
No earthly force can tame this arrogant politician.
Hyderabad, Nov 17: Telangana employees’ leader Srinivasa Goud who was being ignored by the TRS Chief K Chandrasekhara Rao has expressed his anguish. Goud who played a key role in the Sakala Janula Samme was not invited by KCR when he met the political JAC chief Prof Kodandaram on Friday. Talking to the media on Saturday, Goud said this had hurt some of the people. He has pragmatically said he did not understand if not inviting him was also part of a strategy or happened because of some persons. He has said he would however play a key role in the movement and fight for telangana
Ever since top model Nargis Fakhri was roped as a female lead opposite Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor in the film Rockstar, rumormongers have started speculating that the two were having an affair. Even after several months after the release of the film, these link-up reports kept on appearing in the media very often. Nargis Fakhri upset with the rumors, decided to put an end to speculations. Clarifying the reports, the actress said,"Ranbir and Me had a wonderful friendship during the shooting of Rockstar. Being a top model in US, I have always worked with the hottest men in the world but I have never ever slept with any of them. When I introduced one of my Australian friend to Ranbir, she immediately said 'He is freaking handsome' and couldn't believe that we weren't having an affair." The hottie declares she is open to have an affair with the person she falls in love. "I'm not averse to have an affair, but hot men mean nothing to me. I will only have an affair with the one whom I love," she stresses.
According to sources Akkineni
Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya’s under shoot film "Autonagar Surya"
shooting has been stopped.The film has completed most of its shooting
part except couple of songs.Now the RR Movies Banner is facing the financial
troubles, because of that only they are not released the movie
Damarukam so far.The same banner producing the films Damarukam and
Autonagar Surya.
So, now due to the financial crunch ‘Autonagar Surya’ shooting is
stopped.Naga Chaitanya’s one film is also not released in this year.As
per the reports the shooting of the film might be resumed based on
Damarukam movie profits, if Damarukam fails then we have to wait and see how Autonagar Surya will be completed.
So both father and son movies are in trouble now and Damarukam got the new release date on November 23rd, which is also not yet confirmed exactly.

well at the box office. Directed by Parasuram, the music for this movie
was composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
Shiv Sena chief, Bal Thackeray passed away at 3.33 pm today at the age of 85, leaving millions of his followers in distress. The tiger that ruled Mumbai for more than 45 years is no more. His funeral rites procession will start on Sunday at 10 am and cremation will takes place at 3 pm. Thackeray lost his life due to a lung and pancreatic ailment. Thackeray has been suffering from breathlessness and constipation since July this year and was kept under constant medical supervision with a team of doctors stationed at his residence. On Wednesday, his health deteriorated and after two days he showed signs of responding well to the treatment, but unfortunately he left this world forever. Bal Thackeray started his career as a cartoonist in English Daily and later started his own journal. He then entered politics by announcing Shiv Sena in 1966 and emerged as the most charismatic mass leader Maharashtra has ever witnessed. He is survived by his wife Mina, Sons Uddhav and Jaidev.
Shiva Sena leaders appealed to followers and Maharashtra people to stay calm and maintain peace, while speaking at Bal Thackeray's Matoshree residence, where he breathed his last. Around 20,000 cops and central forces are deployed all around Mumbai to control any untoward incidents.
For the first time, a state minister has dubbed for a role in a Tollywood movie and colleagues are going all out to portray Kiran Kumar as a hero of the people.
Supporters of Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy are trying their best to ensure that their `propaganda' film ‘Operation Duryodhan 2’ becomes a hit.
Apart from recovering their Rs 5-crore investment, they want the maximum number of people to see the film, which showcases the capabilities of their leader. The aim is to expose his detractors within and outside the party.
Apparently for the first time, a state minister, E. Pratap Reddy, has dubbed for his role. “Pratap Reddy likes to complete any given task with perfection; so to give a realistic touch to his character, he preferred to dub for himself,” says producer Surender Reddy.
The minister is actually portraying the character of Kiran Kumar Reddy and the political thriller will be showcasing the various schemes initiat ed by the CM and his “zero tolerance” towards corruption. In the film the CM appoints his friend and fire-brand CBI officer (Jagapathi Babu) who busts various scams and sends the culprits to jail.
“Some Congress leaders have funded this project to show Kiran Kumar Reddy in a good light and highlight his determination to eradicate corruption,” says a source.
Some of the characters of the film reportedly remind one of leaders like APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Jagan Mohan Reddy.
“The film also shows the recent plans to unseat the CM,“ the source adds.
No Cabinet has shown so much interest in a Telugu potboiler and Kiran Kumar and his colleagues will apparently be watching the film soon.
‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu’ was supposed to be a veiled promotion of the late YSR as an able leader.
Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Paisa’ is expected to showcase the rise of Jagan Mohan Reddy as a politician and a businessman. The film ends with him becoming the Chief Minister.
Vishnu Manchu’s film ‘Assembly Rowdy’ has been “designed” to glorify Jagan Mohan Reddy who will be shown coming out of jail and ruling the roost in the Assembly.
The death of dentist Savita Halappanavar due to the refusal of doctors at the Galway University Hospital to terminate her pregnancy and save her life has angered the Indian community in Ireland.
Savita’s family, including her husband, Pravin Halappanavar are heading for Ireland to join the agitation to be launched by the Indian community there on Friday, demanding action against the dotors responsible for her death.
“It is unfortunate that no government official from either India or Ireland has contacted Savita’s husband or any of us after her death. While political outfits and the Indian community across Ireland are protesting the doctors’ negligence, neither the Karnataka government nor the Centre have bothered to contact us. We want both the state and Union governments to take up this issue very seriously and give us justice,’’ said Savita’s father, Andanappa Yalgi, in Belgaum.
“The authorities in Ireland should realise that abortion may be illegal for Catholics in Ireland but not for Indians staying there. The doctors did not act professionally when it came to saving the life of a healthy woman. Due to their own set of rules, both the mother and her unborn child died miserably,’’ Mr Yalgi added angrily.
Both the Halappanavar and Yalgi families have been flooded with sympathetic messages and visits by well wishers shocked by the manner of Savita’s death in Ireland. While her husband, who had brought her body to India for cremation, had planned to stay for a while more, the Indian community in Ireland is insisting that he rush back to help them intensify their agitation.
Savita’s family is waiting for the results of the investigation into her death before taking legal action against the doctors.
Protests were held in London outside the Irish embassy and in Cork too.
Independent expert to probe Savita’s death
The Opposition parties in Ireland, Labour and Socialist parties, have called for another protest outside the Irish Parliament and outside Irish embassies across the world on Saturday to force the government led by Prime Minister Enda Kenny to introduce proper legislation on the issue.
The Opposition members also forced the Irish government to hold a debate on Savita’s death in the Dail, the Parliament.
Irish health minister James Reilly told Parliament that two investigations arey underway and a coroner’s inquest will also take place.
“Savita’s death has highlighted the need to deal with the legacy of the X case. I have never received so many letters, emails and phone calls,” Labour MP Gerald Nash said

Nov 16: Activists of Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti and Madiga
Students Federation have tried to raid the house of the Telangana
Political JAC chief Prof. Kodandaram in Tarnaka on Friday, protesting
against his reported remarks against Minister Dr. J Geeta Reddy. They
have demanded that a case under SC, ST Atrocities Act should be
registered against him. Police stopped the activists when they tried to
barge into Kodandaram's house and arrested them. A heavy police posse
was posted at the place to prevent further escalation of tension.
It
was reported that Kodandaram has said he did not understand how Geeta
Reddy was born to Eswari Bai who was a great fighter for Telangana

Hyderabad, Nov 16: Violence broke out once again near Charminar in the old city of Hyderabad Friday over a temple row.
At least seven people were injured in stone pelting by an unruly mob, and baton charge by police.
Teargas
shells were also fired by the police to disperse the mob, which set
afire four vehicles and damaged several other vehicles, witnesses said.
Trouble
broke out soon after Friday prayers at the historic Mecca Masjid when a
large number of people coming out of the mosque tried to proceed
towards Charminar to offer 'salam' at a religious symbol abutting the
monument.
Policemen and paramilitary personnel, however, stopped them by setting up barricades.
Raising
slogans against the police and demanding that restrictions be lifted,
the protestors started pelting stones at policemen and attacking
vehicles and shops.
The police resorted to baton charge
and fired several teargas shells to disperse the mob, which was pelting
stones from three sides of the Charminar.
Police said the situation has since been brought under control.
Additional reinforcements were rushed to sensitive areas around Charminar.
Home
Minister Sabita Indra Reddy reviewed the situation with top police
officials. She appealed to people to cooperate in maintaining peace.
The
communally sensitive old city had been witnessing sporadic incidents of
violence for the last two weeks following a row over the Bhagylakshmi
Temple abutting Charminar, which symbolizes the historic city.
Muslim
groups have been opposing attempts to expand the temple on the ground
that it was illegal and had marred the beauty of the 400-year-old
monument.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court Nov 5 had ordered status quo as on Oct 30.
However,
the erection of a canopy over the temple structure, in alleged
violation of the court orders last Sunday, triggered violent protests.
The government claimed that it was allowed only to implement court orders.

She is very talented and entire TV circuit got shocked by her wit, humor and intelligence when she did the program 'Colors' being a kid. Even the top anchors like Suma have got tensed if their career will be in question mark with this new sensation. But eventually Swathy got call from big screen and thus showcased her talent there. She even proved successful there by winning awards for the films like Subramaniapuram in Tamil. Swathy is a very well known name in Tollywood and Kollywood. But still, she cannot be matched with main stream glamor dolls.
She has been reserved in okaying the subjects. She wanted to do only meaty roles and the portrayals those really project her talent. But Tollywood, that sees a heroine only as sex doll couldn't accommodate Swathy in the roles she wished. Although she did very notable roles in films like Asta Chemma, she did not get even such kind of roles subsequently.
Hero Sunil is married long back but now he is getting ready to marry Isha Chawla. You will be mistaken if you think it is real. The pair had romanced in the film ‘Poola Rangadu’ and now they are pairing up once again to entertain the audience. The Bollywood hit ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ is being remade in Telugu.
The film was titled as ‘Radha Krishnulu’ earlier but now it has been confirmed as ‘Mr Pellikoduku’. Sunil will be marrying Isha in this film. This is directed by Devi Prasad and it is made under the banner of Mega Supergood Films.
Hyderabad, Nov 15: The BJP State President G Kishan Reddy on Thursday held the MIM responsible for the tension that prevailed in the old city during the past one week.
Speaking to the media here, Kishan Reddy has made it clear that Rashtreeya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) had no links with the clashes that have taken place in the old city, resulting in tense situation. MIM party has created panic in the public with its midnight dharna, he alleged.
Alleging that the MIM was working with an agenda to expand its gundaism throughout the state, he charged the Party with working with a conspiracy so that the Muslims would not develop. The BJP was exposing the gundasim of MIM from time to time.
He strongly criticized other political parties for keeping mum on the issue of Bhagya Laxmi temple issue. He questioned as to why the GHMC Mayor, who belongs to the MIM, has not resigned to the post even after MIM withdrew its support to the Congress government.
On Wednesday night, the actors went to visit Thackeray, who is reportedly in critical condition.
"Balasaheb Thackeray: a fighter all his life, fights his life! Prayers needed now! Yes both Abhishek and me were injured with cuts, but are fine and back home... the doctors at Matoshree attended on us," Amitabh tweeted.
Amitabh recalled the time when he was recovering in hospital after his near fatal accident on the sets of 1983 film "Coolie", and Thackeray had come to see him.
"When I was flown in to Mumbai from Bangalore in semi-conscious state after 'Coolie' accident, it was his ambulance that took me to Breach Candy Hospital," Amitabh said.
"When I fought for my life after 'Coolie' accident, he came to visit me in hospital, with a cartoon he had drawn Yamraj defeated! Yamraj God of Death, defeated by me... wish I was as proficient a cartoonist as he, I would wish to draw that for him," added Big B.
The 70-year-old says Thackeray has always treated him like family.
"When Jaya and I married, he (Bal Thackeray) called us to his house... and the rituals that were conducted was of the 'bahu' coming home! From that day on he always treated us as family," he said.
Amitabh also revealed how Thackeray supported him while the actor reeled under the Bofors Scandal accusations.
"When the Bofors Scandal accusations on us were at its peak, he called me home and asked 'tell me the truth, are you involved?' When I said 'No!', he said 'Then do not worry about anything. I am with you. You are an actor, go do what you are best at'," he added.
The death of Savita Halappanavar must be the subject of an independent public inquiry, said C.V.R. Prasad, a surgeon who is a close friend of 31-year-old Savita and her husband Praveen.
Prasad, an orthopaedic surgeon at the Merlin Park Hospital in Galway, said such an inquiry must be taken out of the hands of the Health Service Executive (HSE) or University Hospital Galway, Irish Times reported Thursday.
Halappanavar arrived Oct 21 with back pain at Galway University Hospital where she was found to be miscarrying at 17 weeks. She died of septicaemia Oct 28.
Her death has sparked outrage in India.
Prasad, who visited Savita in hospital before she died, said: "Any inquiry should be public. That is the way it should be, it should not be conducted by the HSE or the hospital. It should be independent. I hope that might save the life of another women. This should never happen to another woman. Religion and medicine should never mix."
Savita's husband Pravin, an engineer at Boston Scientific in Galway, described how she asked several times over a three-day period that the pregnancy be terminated. She was in terrible pain and was miscarrying.
He said the request was refused by medical staff who said they could not do anything because there was still a foetal heartbeat. He said they were told that this was the law and that "this is a Catholic country".
He was quoted as saying that she spent over three days "in agony" until the foetal heartbeat stopped.
The dead foetus was removed, but Savita's condition deteriorated and she died.
The HSE said that an independent external expert in obstetrics and gynaecology would be appointed to strengthen the incident management team it has asked to investigate the circumstances of the death.
The team would liaise with Pravin.
"The process of incident review seeks to ascertain the facts relating to the incident, draw conclusions and make recommendations in relation to any steps that may need to be taken to prevent a similar incident occurring again."
Namitha is not getting any film chances excepting few guest appearances in films like Simha these days. She has confined herself to TV channels in Tamil Nadu in recent times. Kolywood reports say that she has decided to take membership of the BJP and try her luck.
As Namitha is a popular star in Tamil Nadu, BJP has reportedly offered a star status in the party also. Namita knows Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi personally and it was under his guidance that she was preparing to join BJP, say these reports. Namitha hails from Gujarat and was Miss Surat in 1998. She has acted in several Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi films. She has entered Tollywood pairing with Aryan Rajesh in 'Sontham'. She made Bollywood entry through 'Love Ke Chakkar Mein'.
Hyderabad,
Nov 14: The Congress High Command which has given a long rope to the
Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy is reported to have decided to replace
him, as a fallout of the MIM's decision to part company with the
Congress.
Reports say that the Congress which has
obtained the resignation of Kiran on an earlier occasion when dissidence
was at its peak is likely to accept now.
According to
information, the Chief Minister was called to New Delhi for seeking his
explanation on the latest political turn, before taking a final decision
on easing him out. Kiran is likely to leave for Hyderabad today or
tomorrow to face the final judgment.
Congress leaders close to Kiran are stating that the Chief Minister had done no wrong to invite the wrath of the MIM.
Even
an independent observer like noted educationist and MLC Prof. K
Nageswar has stated that MIM has been indulging in land grabbing and
blackmailing in the garb of protection of minority rights. Congress
insiders are stating that the Chief Minister has acted as per law and
the charges of harassment of the Muslim community by the MIM MP
Asaduddin Owaisi were totally baseless. They say that Owaisi wants cases
against those who had indulged in criminal acts be withdrawn and Kiran
had not obliged him. Likewise, the Bhagya Lakshmi temple issue was also
blown out of proportion by the MIM say leaders close to the Chief
Minister.
Bhagya Lakshmi temple authorities had put a
canopy round it. The charge of the MIM is that behind that canopy, they
were expanding the temple, endangering the heritage monument Charminar
abutting it. Bhagya Lakshmi temple authorities are stating that they
covered the temple only to offer protection to the devotees from sun and
dust on the busy road. However, high court has already issued orders
directing the temple authorities to maintain status quo. This means that
no construction or expansion activity would be allowed. Then why should
the MIM be worried, question Kiran supporters.
Another
issue MIM chose to raise was the arrest of the party MLAs. The MLAs were
arrested to defuse tension in the old city and were released in the
evening. No cases were registered against them. Then why should Owaisi
become so angry, question pro-Kiran Congress leaders.
However,
Congress leadership is considering the rage of Owaisi as the rage of
Muslims. But Kiran supporters say that Owaisi represents only a small
Muslim community of the old city and not the entire Muslim population of
the state. Excepting in the old city of Hyderabad, his party has not
won any election anywhere else. So they feel that it was a misconception
that Owaisi was the leader or savior of the entire Muslim community.
Muslims
have always been a major vote bank for the Congress, except for a brief
period after the demolition of the Babri Masjid. However, as no other
party was as secular as Congress, they have once again started reposing
their trust in the party. TDP which initially gained the trust of the
Muslim community, lost it after Chandra Babu Naidu chose to support the
BJP and the NDA. Naidu is still making amends to it.
While
Kiran baiters are sure that he would be replaced now, his supporters
are still hopeful that he would explain the situation to the High
Command and be able to retain his position.
Naresh, Sharmila Mandre's 'Kevvu Keka' under Devi Prasad direction started its regular shooting in Hyderabad. The film is progressing in Sarathi Studios where important scenes are canned on lead pair. Devi Prasad who earlier did 'Blade Babji' with Naresh says this will be even bigger hit than the earlier one.Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, MS.Narayana, Ali and others are starring in the film. Chinni Charan and Beems are the music directors.
Bollywood actress Vidya Balan who created sensation in the film industry and entire country with her movie ‘The Dirty Picture’ is now getting ready to be married with UTV head Siddharth Roy Kapur in December 2012. Vidhya and Siddharth are dating since two years. Siddharth who is already got married has filed for divorce which has been settled down. Vidya Balan will take a break from her shooting of Raj kumar Gupta’s movie ‘Ghanchakkar’and Siddharth has also planned to take break in December for their marriage. Now the couple also planned for Caribbean Islands for a honeymoon after the marriage.
Usually there is a talk that film directors tend to enjoy heroines a lot
and the much abused term ‘casting couch’ is quite commonly referred.
But according to a recent survey the HR managers of top notch companies
are reportedly enjoying their sex life more than directors in terms of
variety and quantity.
Well, getting a role in cinema for a girl is like lottery but if someone tries with one or two HR managers, job is guarantee. That way, the survey has revealed that pretty girls are tracking HR managers through Facebook and other social networking sites and trapping them with their sexual charms.
They are working in that company for 6 months and disappearing. It is heard that they are not even reachable for that HR manager and jumping into other companies at better positions through the same formula. Some of the boys who have been noticing this trend are now opting for HR as specialization in MBA. Talk about win-win situation folks

Hyderabad,
Nov 13: Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, president of the YSR Congress and
Asaduddin Owaisi, supremo of the MIM appear to be setting their sights
on the capturing the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.
So
far MIM and Congress have been sharing spoils in the corporation. The
two have been taking the Mayoral post by turns. Now with the changed
situation after MIM withdrew support to Congress both in the state and
at the center, protesting against Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy’s
attitude towards the Muslims, now there is every chance of the YSRCP and
MIM joining hands in the GHMC.
It is learnt that YSRCP
has already started poaching Congress corporators. Five corporators have
already joined the YSRCP. Of these, while four were Congress men, one
belonged to the TDP. It is learnt that 15 to 20 Congress corporators
were in touch with the YSR Congress and might join the party any
minute.
Several Congress corporators are dissatisfied
with the way they were being ignored by the party MLAs and MPs when
approached for developmental works in their areas. These corporators
were reportedly planning to join the YSRCP, say sources. These
corporators were stating that some MLAs, Ministers and MLCs had written
complaints against them to the Chief Minister. The corporators were also
angry with the Ministers, MLAs and MLCs as they were opposing
allocation of Rs. 1 crore as development fund for their divisions. It is
their complaint that the MLAs, Ministers and MLCs were opposing release
of these funds as they did not want them gain influence in their
division by implementing developmental works.
Congress
won 55 of the 155 divisions. However after four corporators left the
party, the strength came down to 51. Sitaphal Mandi corporator Vijaya
Kumar who quit the Congress has become a prominent leader of the YSRCP.
He was made Greater Hyderabad in charge. Later S Harsha Vardhan
(Habsiguda). G Suryanarayana Reddy (Suraram Colony) and Singireddy
Dhanapal Reddy (Cherlapalli) have also joined the YSRCP. TDP corporator D
Surekha (R K Puram) has also joined the YSRCP along with her husband.
They complain that MLAs do not want them to grow in stature, fearing
that they would become a competition to them in getting party tickets
during the assembly elections.
Greater Hyderabad Congress
president and minister Danam Nagender has sensed the impending threat
and started trouble shooting operations. He is likely to hold a meeting
of the party corporators and try to contain further erosion of the party
base in the city.
It is also learnt that three more MLAs were in touch with Jagan and they would join the YSRCP during Sharmila’s yatra.
Red
hot Richa has all the qualities to be the top heroine in the industry.
However for some reason opportunities are just slipping away from her
hands for no fault of her. Even when she is sincerely trying to make use
of the offers that come her way, Lady Luck seems to be knocking them
off out of her hands.
Recently she lost out 'Courier Boy
Kalyan' to Yami Gautam. Richa lost out even Bunny's 'Iddaru Ammayilatho'
in the last minute. Poor Richa is left only with Mass Raja Raviteja's
Sir Ostara. Fans and industry sources can not but feel sorry for Richa.
Rumors are part & parcel of any actors life and the people in show big needs to learn how to handle them, or else they end up making headlines for few more wrong reasons. Amala Paul seems to be finding difficult to stay calm while interacting with the mediapersons. During Amala's recent interview to a news daily, the Reporter asked her to clarify the reports of her love affair with Tamil director Vijay (Nanna and Shiva Thandavam fame). All of a sudden the actress lost her cool and shot back,"Is there nothing to ask, other than love affairs? There is limit for everything. I think, In my case the border has been crossed. I had already given clarification regarding this rumors several times. Other than professional relationship, there is nothing between Me and the Director Vijay". Amala is playing the role of an arrogant lady in Ram Charan's Nayak and in Allu Arjun's Iddarammayilatho, she will seen as a brahmin girl. The success of these two flicks is crucial if she wishes to have a long career in Telugu Film Industry.
The
search is finally over!!! It all started with Abhinaya initially and
then considering the bilingual connectivity the idea was dropped, and
then literally every name was discussed to pair opposite Nithin in
“Courier Boy Kalyan”...the search never ended.
The
director Premsai former associate to Director Prabhu Deva always had an
idea, he wanted Yami Gautham to play the lead, but she was too busy
...the delay in shooting C.B.K, came as a blessing in disguise, Yami
finished her current commitements and nodded her head to Premsai to pair
opposite Nithin ....now the “Vicky the Donor” girl is flexing her toes
to dance to singer Karthik's tunes…charming boy Karthik has composed a
few melodies that puts this film into a Rom -Com - Musical.

Hyderabad,
Nov 12: Kakinada-based Sri Peetham head Swamy Paripoornananda on Monday
threatened to go on indefinite fast, unless the Government came out
with an explanation as to why he has been arrested by the police.
Swamy
Paripoornananda has been arrested Monday morning when he participated
in a rally on way to the Bhagyalakshmi temple at Charminar, to perform
pooja and offer harathi to the Goddess. It may be recalled that tense
situation was prevailing at the Temple during the past few days, with
the MIM objecting to extend the Bhagyalakshmi temple. The Swamy has been
lodged in Kanchenbagh police Station.
Speaking the media
at the Police station this evening, the Swamy asked whether people have
no right to offer harathi to the Goddess and Gods. He demanded an
explanation from the Government as to why he has been arrested and put
in police station. If the Government did not come up with such an
explanation, he would go on indefinite fast, he added.
Hyderabad,
Nov 11: All India Malis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has decided to
withdraw support to the Congress government headed by Kiran Kumar Reddy
in Andhra Pradesh. The party president and Parliament Member Asaduddin
Owaisi has also announced on Monday that the party has decided to
withdraw support to the UPA government at the Centre.
Addressing
media after a meeting of his party's politburo here, he said the reason
for the decision was Kiran Kumar Reddy government's support to the
Sangh Parivar and help to BJP to strengthen itself in and around
Hyderabad. He has alleged that the Congress government was 'licking the
feet' of Sangh Parivar and harassing the Muslim community. He said he
has already faxed a letter to the President of India, and meet him
latter. He said he was also writing to the governor about withdrawal of
support to the state government. When asked if his party would support a
no-confidence motion against the government, he said that was not his
party's priority now. The priority was to make the government come down
and amend its follies.
Owaisi said Muslims in the state
started facing troubles after Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy died and K
Rosaiah took over as the Chief Minister. He said he did not think that
the government of Kiran Kumar Reddy was secular. If Kiran was thinking
that no one was observing him like the proverbial cat closing its eyes
while drinking milk he was wrong. He said people were observing his
actions.
Claiming that MIM and Muslim voters have played a
key role in bringing Congress to power 2004 and 2009 elections, Owaisi
has said during the past 3 years there were raids on Muslims in
Siddipet, Miryalaguda, Sangareddy and Adoni. Instead of doing justice to
the victims, he said Kiran government has arrested innocent Muslims. In
Sangareddy, though it was a common knowledge that the local MLA was
responsible for the communal riots, Muslim youth were targeted. He said
none involved in the riots was arrested because the riots were organized
by the local MLA.
Owaisi said even in cases like Sabji
Mandi, Madannapet riots and the latest incidents concerning the
extension of Bhagya Lakshmi temple abutting the historic Charminar,
Kiran government chose to side with the Sangh Parivar. He has charged
the government of disconnecting the telephones of MIM MLAs apart from
arresting them unnecessarily. He has also charged that all the local
Urdu TV cable connections were snapped to block his press conference. He
has thanked the Telugu TV channels for telecasting his press conference
live.
Owaisi said in several parts of the state,
particularly in Srikakulam, cattle meant for sacrifice on the occasion
of Bakrid were seized by the authorities at the instance of Sangh
Parivar.
He said though he has about harassment of Muslims to the Chief Minister several times, he has not responded.
When
asked if he would now ally with the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan
Reddy, Owaisi has admitted that Jagan was his friend. He has also said
that Kiran was also once his good friend. He said he has however chosen
to act this way.
