Indianos protestam em frente à casa de ator de 'Quem quer ser um milionário?'

"Quem quer ser um milionário?" tem dado o que falar - literalmente! Depois de faturar o Globo de Ouro de Melhor Filme e ser indicado ao Oscar, o longa dirigido por Danny Boyle tem enfrentado protestos na Índia, onde se passa a história. Nesta quinta-feira, 22, dezenas de pessoas se reuniram em frente à casa de um dos astros da história, o ator Anil Kapoor, em Mumbai (foto ao lado). Os manifestantes reclamam do título do filme, que em inglês é "Slumdog Millionaire", algo como "Vira-lata Milionário" ou "Favelado Milionário".

"Sou pobre, mas não quero que se refiram a mim como um cachorro", disse Rekha Dhamji, que participava do protesto, segundo o site Faded Youth. Algumas pessoas exibiam cartazes com dizeres como "Pobreza à venda" e "Eu não sou um cachorro". De acordo com o site, Nicholas Almeida, que organizou a manifestação, planeja, ainda, entrar na Justiça para que o nome original do longa seja alterado.

"Quem quer ser um milionário" é uma adaptação de "Sua resposta vale um bilhão", livro do indiano Vikas Swarup que conta a história de um menino que vive nos guetos de Mumbai e que ganha uma bolada milionária em um programa de televisão. Os produtores do show, porém, alegam que um menino inculto como ele só pode ter trapaceado e se recusam a pagar o prêmio.

Freida Pinto's Man Left Behind After "Slumdog" Fame

The star of Slumdog Millionaire has been hiding a secret husband whom she ditched after the film became a hit, it was claimed today.
Freida Pinto, 24, is said to have married Rohan Antao at a ceremony in Goa in December 2007 but last month ended their relationship. The couple were previously thought only to have been engaged.
Pinto, a model who landed her first film role with Slumdog Millionaire, is expected to attend the Oscar ceremony on Sunday night but without her former partner whom she met at college.

Matilda Ledger Designated The Owner Of Heath's Potential Oscar

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — If Heath Ledger is named best supporting actor at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony, his daughter, 3-year-old Matilda Rose Ledger, will become the owner of the Oscar statuette.
But it won't really be hers until her 18th birthday on Oct. 28, 2023 _ and even then, only if she signs a contract.
Matilda, daughter of the late Ledger and actress Michelle Williams, has been designated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as the eventual owner of her father's Oscar, should he win for his portrayal of the Joker in "The Dark Knight."
The actor died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs last year at the age of 28.
But Ledger's nomination, and his daughter's young age, led to one of the trickiest situations the academy has dealt with in its eight decades of awarding posthumous Oscars.
"It's complicated, because there are two different questions that have to be answered," says Bruce Davis, executive director of the academy. "First, we have to decide who gets the job of accepting the award onstage on the night of the ceremony. And then there's the question of the eventual disposition of the posthumous statuette, which may not stay with the person who accepts it."

In Ledger's case, says Davis, the second question was the hardest to answer.
Academy tradition calls for a posthumous statuette to go to the spouse, or, if there is no living spouse, to the oldest child. Ledger wasn't married, and Matilda is his only child.

Tameka Raymond Leaves Hospital in Brazil

"She left the hospital on Monday night," Mirtes Bogea, a spokeswoman for the Sirio-Libanes Hospital, tells PEOPLE. "We do not have any more information about her condition." Usher's rep had no comment.Ellen Dasptry, a spokeswoman for plastic surgeon Silvio Sterman, who was to perform the "simple liposuction," said last week that Raymond, 38, suffered a cardiac arrest while being anesthetized for the procedure at Sao Paulo's Sao Rafael Hospital. Less than a minute later, Raymond was revived with heart massage and placed in an induced coma before being moved to the intensive-care unit, said Dasptry. She was then transferred to Sirio-Libanes Hospital, considered one of the best in Brazil, according to Dasptry.

Duffy Wins Big at the Brit Awards

It was singer Duffy's night at the Britain's top music awards Wednesday as she took home three honors, including best album for Rockferry, at the 2009 Brit Awards. "I cannot tell you what this means after five years," the Welsh-born songstress told the crowd at London's Earl's Court arena. Duffy also won awards for best female and best breakthrough artist. She topped off the night with a barnstorming version of her song, "Warwick Avenue," backed by a small orchestra. She found herself onstage so often she even quipped, "I'm starting to recognize your faces," to those around her. At the awards – the British version of the Grammys – Kings of Leon were tapped as best international group, and their Only by the Night won for best international album. Kanye West was named best international male. He wasn't at the show but said in a video message: "Barack is the best inter-racial male. I am fine with being the best international male." "I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry took home the prize for best international female. To kick off the show at London's Earl's Court arena, U2 showcased their new single, "Get On Your Boots" from their upcoming album. The Pet Shop Boys, who were honored with the outstanding contribution to music award, wrapped up the night by performing a medley of their hits – accompanied by Brandon Flowers from The Killers and Lady Gaga.

First Photos of Tiger Woods's Son!

Just 10 days old, Charlie Axel Woods has made his international media debut – with the son of golf champ Tiger Woods appearing on his dad's Web site. In all, there are five photographs now published on Golf.com of Charlie and the family, who are all shown, in various stages, kissing the new arrival. Even the family dogs get into the picture. Charlie was born Feb. 8, which prompted his proud father to post on his Web site: "Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts." Sister Sam Alexis was born in 2007 – and, if these new photos are any indication, isn't shy about showing her love for her new little brother. Speaking for himself, Sam and wife Elin Nordegren when Charlie arrived, Woods also said, "Elin, Sam and I are very excited for the new baby to arrive, although that's when the real lack of sleep begins."
