Storyline :<br />
After marrying successful Parisian writer Henry Gauthier-Villars, known commonly<br />
as "Willy" (Dominic West), Gabrielle Colette (Keira Knightley) is transplanted from<br />
her childhood home in rural France to the intellectual and artistic splendor of Paris.<br />
Soon after, Willy convinces Colette to ghostwrite for him. Colette, in turn, pens a<br />
semi-autobiographical novel about a witty and brazen country girl named Claudine,<br />
sparking a bestseller and a cultural sensation. After its success, Colette and Willy<br />
become the talk of Paris and their adventures inspire additional Claudine novels.<br />
Colette's fight over creative ownership and gender roles drives her to overcome<br />
societal constraints, revolutionizing literature, fashion and sexual expression. -IMDb<br />
DeepikaPadukone and<br />
Ranveer Singh make a<br />
formidable power duo in<br />
Bollywood. While the two<br />
continue to flourish in<br />
their respective careers,<br />
they are coming together<br />
for a new advertisement,<br />
their first project together<br />
after their wedding last<br />
year.According to a report<br />
in Mint, the couple will<br />
star in an ad for an electronics<br />
brand. They will<br />
replace Amitabh<br />
Bachchan, who was previously<br />
the face of the<br />
brand.<br />
Meanwhile, Deepika<br />
and Ranveer were in<br />
London last week for the<br />
inauguration of her wax<br />
statue at Madame<br />
Tussauds museum.<br />
Ranveer on Friday posted<br />
several photographs of<br />
himself with Deepika's<br />
wax statue. In one of the<br />
pictures, he can be seen<br />
with Deepika and her wax<br />
model.<br />
On getting the wax statue,<br />
Deepika had earlier<br />
said: "After I got a call<br />
from Madame Tussauds, I<br />
thought 'What is the purpose<br />
of this, why are we<br />
doing this, or what is it<br />
that my fans will remember<br />
me for, remember my<br />
figure for, what is it that I<br />
would like to leave<br />
behind', and the cause of<br />

close to my heart, it is<br />

ArieS<br />
(March 21 - April 20) : Watch for spending<br />
far too much time on an issue that you're<br />
imagining might happen as it can cut into<br />
real life in challenging ways. Besides, chances run high<br />
that it will blow over. It can be important to avoid jumping<br />
to conclusions or into commitments. As long as you<br />
keep things fun and light without huge expectations.<br />
tAUrUS<br />
(April 21 - May 21) : A Mercury-Jupiter<br />
square challenges you to think in bigger<br />
terms than usual, and this means you're considering<br />
new ideas and plans. This influence can be useful<br />
as a mental exercise, but some self-control and common<br />
sense are necessary to keep things real. Today is<br />
favorable for connecting with others and ideas.<br />
GeMini<br />
(May 22 - June 21) : Consider that your<br />
understanding of a situation is not yet complete.<br />
You may not be agreeing with someone<br />
on your long-term plans, and while this should be<br />
addressed, try not to put too much weight into it at the<br />
moment. Today is useful for making contacts along the<br />
lines of business, money, and resources, however.<br />
cAncer<br />
(June 22 - July 23) : There is a tendency to<br />
blow things out of proportion or to<br />
overstate you. Communications ruler,<br />
Mercury, forms a challenging square with extravagant<br />
Jupiter, pointing to possible misjudgments. Their conflict<br />
can otherwise stir up some incredible enthusiasm<br />
and good ideas which shouldn't be discounted.<br />
leo<br />
(July 24 - Aug. 23) : You may want to<br />
make big promises to make someone<br />
happy, but it's best to keep things real today. Aim<br />
instead to stretch your imagination and consider new<br />
possibilities. Someone who's worth your time won't<br />
need you to go overboard. Besides, the Moon spends<br />
the day in your sector of rest and privacy, pointing to<br />
the need to relax and de-stress.<br />
VirGo<br />
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) : It's a time for seeing<br />
things you missed in the past, but that are<br />
vital to complete the picture but do keep in mind that<br />
there is even more to the story. There can be some restlessness<br />
stirred today, and this can lead you to interesting<br />
places but could also lead you astray. It may be better<br />
not to make or rely on promises now.<br />
extremely passionate<br />
about.<br />
"I said that's it, I would<br />
like for my fans when they<br />
see my figure I hope it<br />
reminds them of someone<br />
who did something for the<br />
cause of mental illness,<br />
who worked towards creating<br />
awareness and destigmatising<br />
mental illness.<br />
"I hope that it gives<br />
people a sense of upliftment<br />
and a sense of hope.<br />
I hope that message<br />
comes through."<br />

liBrA<br />
(Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) : A project may need a<br />
second look, and you could need to<br />
reassess how much time and energy it<br />
needs. With work or your health, you could have a<br />
sense that you have so many things to do that you don't<br />
know where to begin. Making or relying on promises is<br />
not wise with Mercury square Jupiter today.<br />
Scorpio<br />
(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) : Watch for a tendency<br />
to exaggerate or jump to quick<br />
conclusions, whether you're doing<br />
this or someone in your life is making far too<br />
much of a situation than it deserves. You may<br />
not have the energy or time to put a plan into<br />
motion yet, so do your best to be patient.<br />
SAGittAriUS<br />
(Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) : Due to retrograde<br />
Mercury forming a square to your ruler,<br />
Jupiter, making it even more vital than usual<br />
to consider the practical sides of a situation before you<br />
throw yourself into it. Mind you, sound energy is with you<br />
for feeling stronger through family or intimate relationships,<br />
and it makes sense to focus on these positive.<br />
cApricorn<br />
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) : A partner can be<br />
encouraging, whether this is a direct<br />
or indirect influence. While your default may be<br />
to go it alone, the benefits of a friend, partner, or<br />
support system are unmistakable today. Mental<br />
restlessness can challenge you to rethink a matter<br />
now, but could also lead to mistakes.<br />
AQUAriUS<br />
(Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) : Optimism is fun<br />
and motivating, but too much can<br />
lead you to take on more than you can reasonably<br />
handle--this is something to watch with this<br />
aspect. It does encourage you to think up possibilities<br />
that you might not consider on another<br />
day, so keep your ear to the ground today and<br />
don't immediately discount hunches.<br />
piSceS<br />
(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) : This influence might<br />
also generate so much confidence or optimism<br />
that you take on too many projects that you<br />
can't complete later when energy and motivation levels<br />
out. You are ambitious these days, but you need to<br />
remind yourself of your usual limits. Also today, you<br />
can feel more confident about a relationship.<br />
paris Jackson resting at Home<br />
Following Hospitalization<br />
Paris had an accident on Sunday morning<br />
that required medical treatment. Paris<br />
Jackson is "doing fine" after slamming a<br />
report that she attempted suicide on<br />
Saturday, a source tells PEOPLE.<br />
Earlier Saturday, TMZthis link opens in<br />
a new tab reported that the 20-year-old<br />
daughter of the late Michael Jackson was<br />
placed on a 5150 hold following a hospitalization<br />
for a suicide attempt. (Police,<br />
social workers and other mental health<br />
professionals have the authority to use a<br />
5150 hold if a person is considered a danger<br />
to themselves or others or is gravely<br />
disabled.)<br />
"At about 7:28 a.m., officers responded<br />
to the 7200 block of Hillside for an ambulance<br />
attempt suicide. The victim was<br />
transported to a local hospital," Tony Im,<br />
a public information officer with the Los<br />
Angeles Police Department, told PEOPLE.<br />
HBO has confirmed that the<br />
first two episodes of the eighth<br />
and final season of "Game of<br />
Thrones" will be slightly shorter<br />
than the rest.<br />
The final six episodes of the<br />
megahit show were originally<br />
rumored to be 90 minutes long<br />
each, but it's now clear that only<br />
the last four episodes will be<br />
longer than the show's usual<br />
runtime. The cabler also<br />
revealed the debut dates for<br />
each of the last episodes, the<br />
Hrithik roshan still practices every<br />
day to control stammering<br />
Actor Hrithik Roshan revealed how he<br />
overcame stammering. The actor said he<br />
faced the issue till 2012 and even now,<br />
he practices every day to overcome the<br />
speech impediment.<br />
"I'd practise every day to overcome the<br />
speech issue, I still do for an hour at<br />
least so that I can control the secondary<br />
actions like twitching and all. The unacceptability<br />
to stammering was not only<br />
bothersome in my childhood but prevailed<br />
till 2012, long after I had become<br />
a film star," Hrithik Roshan told<br />
Mumbai Mirror.He added that he still<br />
talks to himself for an hour so that he<br />
does not stammer while speaking to<br />
people.<br />
On the work front, there is no update<br />
on Hrithik's upcoming project Super 30<br />
yet, which will see the actor play a<br />
Patna-based mathematician Anand<br />
Kumar, who trains 30 deserving, economically<br />
backward students for the<br />
entrance exams of IIT each year with<br />
commendable success rate.<br />
The film was to be helmed by<br />
VikasBahl but after his name cropped<br />
up in the #MeToo India campaign, the<br />
maker distanced himself from the project.<br />
Other than Super 30, Hrithik is<br />
shooting for a film alongside Tiger<br />
Shroff. The Siddharth P Malhotra directorial<br />
is said to be an action drama. On<br />
first of which premieres on<br />
April 14. Earlier this month,<br />
HBOreleased a dramatic trailer<br />
for the final season, in which<br />
fans were given a glimpse into<br />
the epic battles and drama to<br />
come. Former HBO chief<br />
Richard Plepler, who stepped<br />
down from his role in February<br />
amid the fallout from the<br />
AT&T-Time Warner merger,<br />
told Variety that the episodes<br />
are closer to "six movies" than<br />
television episodes, and that<br />
showrunners David Benioff<br />
and D.B. Weiss had exceeded<br />
expectations with the final<br />
product.<br />
"They knew the bar was high.<br />
They've exceeded the bar,"<br />
Plepler said. I've watched them<br />
twice without any CGI and I'm<br />
in awe. Everybody's in for an<br />
extraordinary treat of storytelling<br />
and of magical, magical<br />
production."<br />

the actor's birthday last year, Rakesh<br />
Roshan had announced that Krrish 4<br />
Reps for Paris and the Jackson Estate<br />
couldn't be reached immediately for comment,<br />
but Paris slammed TMZ's report via<br />
twitter.<br />
Hours earlier, Paris responded to people<br />
who have shamed her for not publicly<br />
coming to the defense of her father. The<br />
daughter of the late pop star explained in<br />
a tweet on Friday that it was "not her role"<br />
to defend Michael in the wake of the sexual<br />
molestation allegations made by Wade<br />
Robson and James Safechuck in HBO's<br />
bombshell documentary.<br />
Paris also commended her cousin Taj<br />
Jackson, 45, for standing up for her father<br />
and said that all she was trying to do was<br />
keep the peace amid the controversy.<br />
Though a source recently told PEOPLE<br />
that Paris "hasn't seen" the explosive documentary,<br />
she has appeared to have a relatively<br />
laidback perspective on the situation<br />
since the allegations resurfaced.<br />
Days after its broadcast premiere, she<br />
alluded to Leaving Neverland in a series of<br />
tweets that came in response to reports<br />
that she was worried about how the film<br />
and allegations against her father would<br />
affect her career. While she did not directly<br />
mention the documentary, she<br />
appeared to refer to it as "tabloids and<br />
lies."<br />
