Its been a while in the making but finally its been confirmed that a third installment to the popular Sci-Fi movie Ghost Busters. As a nice surprise it looks like the original cast members Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd will be returning to reprising their roles.
Harold Ramis (writer-actor) confirmed Murray was 100% featured in the up coming sequel even though they are yet to discuss the project with each other.
Ramis said:
“Gene [Stupnitsky] and Lee [Eisenberg ], both of whom I mentored, are now writing the new Ghostbusters.
“I’m consulting with them, as is Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman. Bill Murray is just waiting for the truckload of money to arrive to get him out of his office.”
Speaking about Murray, he added:-
“I haven’t talked to him about it. I want to talk to him about it eventually. I think we just need a script, because he’s the thorniest of the group.”
Shilpa Shetty may be taking up a major role within popular TV show Eastenders.
The Bollywood star is in talks with the BBC regarding joining the show in Albert Square later in the year as part of a new family due to be introduced.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant turned down a previous offer to appear in the show as Phil Mitchell’s love interest in 2007 so she could focus on her Bollywood career.
Now Shetty is planning to expand her UK career and working harder than ever! No doubt the move into her luxury £5 million home in Surrey with her partner Raj Kundra has something to do with it.
A family friend said:-
“springboard to long-term success in Britain”.
“She knows all about the show as it is a big hit in her homeland - and of course it is popular with a lot of Indians in the UK,” the source added. “Prime time exposure several times a week on mainstream English TV will do her career the world of good. All sorts of roles and deals could follow.”
The 33 year old doesnt look like she will be slowing time as she is also investigating other projects for consideration. Her agent Max Clifford said she is holding meetings with TV chiefs “on a range of projects”.
James Bond has been voted the most lethal lover in cinema history.
Not surprising though because not only does he put it about a bit by bedding 51 women over 22 films but many seem to end in a body bag -16 to be precise. It was Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) who started the trend after a fling with Sean Connery in Gold Finger she wound up covered in gold paint and dieing of skin suffocation.
Roger Moore was pretty deadly having over a quarter of his conquests bite the dust and George Lazenby even lost a wife. If you want to get it on with any of the James Bond’s then you best make it Timothy Dalton who must have been the safest 007 to sleep with as non of the women he seduced died unlike Pierce Brosnan who managed to get three of his lovers killed.
It turns out that Daniel Craig is the most dangerous Jame bond to get in bed with. He has only played the secret agent in two movies he has seen off three women!!
As most of us know, David Tennant is due to leave Doctor Who at the end of the current series this year and producers thought his final eposide on the show should be spectacular!
Its been arranged for many of the the old cast members to return such as Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman, Catherine Tate. Even John Simm will appear in last show reprising his role as the Master - Doctor Who’s nemisis.
Although expected, this episode will also see The Doctor regenerate into the eleventh Doctor Who - Matt Smith.
An insider said:
“This will be the most exciting episode Doctor Who have ever done. We really wanted to get all the companions back on board as a fitting send-off to David and of all the enemies for him to face in his final episode, it makes sense for The Master to be the main one”
“Getting Billie to agree is a real coup, but she loved working on the show so much it didn’t take much convincing.”
Well its probably been the most publicised fight against cancer but unfortunately Jade Goody died on Mothers day morning aged of 27 in her sleep at her home in Essex.
The X Big Brother star was diagnosed with cancer back in august 2008, it was only confirmed to be terminal last month after they had discovered that it had spread to her liver, bowel and groin. This lead to her rapid decline in health. She died in her sleep at her home in Essex.
Jackiey Budden confirmed:
“Jade died at 3.55am this morning. Family and friends would like privacy at last.”
She was very open to the press about her final months battling with the illness which unintentionally encouraged many young women to also get screened for cancer.
Her publicist Max Clifford said:
“I think she’s going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives.”
The main reason of course for her selling her story to newspaper and magazines was to secure the future of her young sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.
Clifford added:
“She was a very, very brave girl. And she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage.”

Jenson plays Betty’s best friend Christina McKinney in the US drama, so no doubt it will be an emotional departure. She is set to leave the show at the end of the current season.

Marvel have decided to push back the release dates for its up and coming super hero movies Thor & The Avengers to minimise clashing with others they are due to release in the next 2 years.
Thor’s was due to be released in July 16 2010 but has now been Re-arranged to June 17, 2011. The Avengers was originally planned to be released on July 15 2011 however has been moved to May 4Th 2012.
David Maisel, Marvel Studios chairman - said that the reason why The Avengers has been delayed for so long was to space out other ’solo’ superhero blockbusters Marvel plans to release before reunited the characters in the one big superhero film.
“[It] maximizes the visibility of our single-character-focused films, leading to the highly anticipated release of the multi-character The Avengers film in 2012,” he explained.
The plan was to bring out Marvel movies Iron Man 2 and Thor in 2010 and another three the next year The First Avenger: Captain America, Spider-Man 4, and The Avengers. However, it was felt that there wasn’t enough of a time lapse between First Avenger: Captain America and Spider-Man 4 before The Avengers came out, which is basically a team up of all the marvel heroes.
