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 />

mental health is very<br />

close to my heart, it is<br />

something that I am<br />

H o roScope<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 />

- Hindustan Times<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 />
