WTF was she thinking?!
Despite her reputation as a man of means, Arun Nayar will be getting paid big $$$$ from his soon-to-be ex-wife, Elizabeth Hurley. When the couple wed in 2007, the did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement, so he will get a large chunk of her £13million fortune.
"A pre-nup would have been a deal-breaker for Arun. He has his pride," claims a source.
But some people think he won't get too much!
"He would be very unlikely to get half Miss Hurley’s fortune because her assets were mainly acquired before their marriage," said London divorce lawyer Ayesha Vardag.
Something tells us that he may demand to be kept in the lifestyle he's become accustomed!

After making a bit of a splash back in 2002 in his feature film debut in 8 Mile (a film which won him an Academy Award for Best Song), Eminem is finally returning to the big screen. Deadline is reporting that Em has signed on to star in a boxing film being produced by Dreamworks. Eminem‘s new film is titled Southpaw:
reamWorks has made a preemptive acquisition of Southpaw, a pitch for a star vehicle for Eminem (Marshall Mathers) that will be written by Sons of Anarchy creator/exec producer Kurt Sutter. Like in Eminem’s 2002 screen starring debut 8 Mile, Southpaw will be fueled by the struggles that inform Eminem’s music and mirror his life. Eminem will play a fast-rising welterweight boxer who brawls his way to the title, only to see his world crash down around him due to tragedy. The movie is about his fight to reclaim past glory … The film will be produced by Eminem’s Shady Films’ managers and producing partners Paul Rosenberg and Stuart Parr, and Alan and Peter Riche of Riche Productions. The deal comes as Eminem’s comeback album, Recovery, just got 10 Grammy Awards nominations … Sutter will begin writing immediately, and he will complete a draft by February, before he and his Anarchy writers begin to plot the fourth season of the series. “There is a rich story her that references his own experience, and I was honored to be able to continue a relationship that began with 8 Mile,” Snider told me. She’ll steer the project with DreamWorks co-president Mark Sourian.
Well it’s about damn time! I totally understand why Em has not taken on any movie roles in the past 8 years considering all the hardships he’s been thru but it is really great news that he is ready to act again. I loved his performance in 8 Mile and I am really anxious to see if he’s got it inside him to bring the skills again. What do y’all think … are you excited to see Eminem on the big screen again?

For weeks, The Oprah Winfrey Show has been teasing a big trip to Australia for an entire audience full of fans and while the audience members arrived in Oz earlier this week, Oprah Winfrey herself only just got there yesterday. Believe it or not, this visit to Australia is Oprah‘s first ever … and she, apparently, plans to make the most of her visit:
Finally fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting Australia, talk show host Oprah Winfrey is savouring every moment of her trip. The media mogul is touring around the country as part of her ‘Ultimate Australian Adventure’ for an upcoming episode of her show. In it’s 25th and final season, Oprah surprised her studio audience earlier this year with a fully-paid 8-day trip Down Under as part of the final. The plane taking the 300 lucky viewers was initially supposed to be flown by John Travolta but the recent birth of his son Benjamin led them travel on a plane flown by a non-celebrity pilot. Oprah, 56, travelled on her private jet with her constant companion and best friend Gayle King in tow. Yesterday Oprah visited Uluru (Ayers Rock) where she met with the natives and took a liking to two Anangu Aboriginal children. Completely unaware that they were being hoisted up by a billionaire, the two youngsters seemed in awe with all of the attention and fanfare that travels with Ms Winfrey. Oprah has immersed herself in the culture and even cuddled up to a baby koala bear called Elvis during a trip to Hamilton Island Wildlife Part in Whitsundays. After viewing the rock she addressed a media pack that had gathered at the site. ‘I think the word awesome applies… it strikes awe in your soul when you see it,’ she said. She said she will definitely visit the rock again. ‘Me being here is a way of paying respects to the Aboriginal people and showing respect for the land and their culture and all that this rock means to them and the continent and to the world,’ she said. Two episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show will be filmed at the Sydney Opera House next week, with about 12,000 Australians expected to watch the filming live. A third episode will feature her guests’ travel experiences at some of Australia’s top tourist destinations. Oprah later took time out to dance on the beach with Aussie chef Curtis Stone who was cooking up some traditional Australian fare – a barbecue of course.
I absolutely cannot believe that Oprah has never been to Oz before … but, it sounds like her first visit is going to be AMAZING! I am dying to get my buns down to Australia and I know I’ll get there hopefully some time soon … but I’m deffo gonna wait until Her Oprahness leaves ;) Aussies, Oprah Winfrey is all yours for now … what do you plan to do with her?

Some movie trailers, like the first for this summer's hit "Inception," reveal absolutely nothing about the film but leave viewers with an unquenchable thirst to see it. Other trailers, like the one just released for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's action-thriller "Faster," basically leave viewers feeling like they've just watched the entire movie in the span of two-and-a-half minutes. But, as the "Faster" trailer illustrates, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
The clip shows Johnson's character Driver -- who's fresh off a 10-year prison sentence and looking to avenge his brother's murder -- methodically blowing away most of his bro's killers (there are like 10) while being pursued by a soon-to-be-retired cop (Billy Bob Thornton), a young Abercrombie-model-looking hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and Shannon from "Lost" (Maggie Grace).
Sure, the trailer probably shouldn't have shown (or implied) some of those killings, but we're going to go out on a limb and say that the feature film will contain a few great death scenes, as well as some twists, not depicted in the clip.
After all, the trailer never really shows Johnson at his best, which is when he's pummeling baddies with his fists rather than shooting at them with a puny gun that certainly isn't as strong as his tree-trunk arms. So what if we know that a few characters bite the big one ahead of time? Thanks to Johnson, we're willing bet that "Faster" will still pack one heck of a punch when it drives into theaters on November 24.
What do you think of the trailer for "Faster"? Too revealing? Not revealing enough? Just right? Tell us in the comments!
Earlier today, the mother of the actress who voices Dora the Explorer, Caitlin Sanchez, sent us a press release and audio file in response to what she considered to be an attack on her daughter's reputation by Nickelodeon.
A spokesperson from Nickelodeon has contacted us with their response, which is as follows:
"The conversation in question with the Nickelodeon press department was in specific reference to public and PR appearances. It was clearly not about portraying the voice of the character for the television show. The Nickelodeon statement we released last week is unquestionably accurate."
For those who haven't seen it, here's the statement that Nickelodeon released last week:
"Unfortunately, Caitlin's voice changed and she was no longer able to portray the Dora character, as happened with the actress who originated the role. Caitlin's contract was extensively negotiated through her agent and in compliance with her union. She was well-compensated for her work and for personal appearances. We have enjoyed working with Caitlin on Dora the Explorer these past three years, and we did in fact offer her a contract for other work with us."
Looks like both sides are standing firm with their positions. Guess we'll see how this progresses.
Have U chosen a side yet? Are U on Team Dora or Team Nickelodeon?
