00:00
In entertainment this week, Metallica book another date with Abu Dhabi, Jordi Foster
00:10
and Mel Gibson turn out to be really good friends, and Beyonce soars from high to low
00:15
in the space of a few hours.
00:17
This is your weekly wrap with Tabloid.
00:20
Beyonce sang the US national anthem at Barack Obama's inauguration on Monday, or did she?
00:25
Tuesday was marked by rave reviews for the singer's performance of the Star Spangled
00:29
Banner, but by next day, questions were being asked whether she lip-synched or not.
00:34
A spokesperson for the band that accompanied her rendition said a pre-recorded version
00:38
of the song was used, but did not say outright that Beyonce mined.
00:42
The singer herself has yet to comment.
00:44
Maybe she is busy preparing a pre-recorded statement.
00:47
Mel Gibson is once again at the centre of controversy after it was rumoured that he
00:51
may be the father of Jordi Foster's children.
00:54
Such paternity claims were made in the aftermath of Foster's speech at the Golden Globes where
00:58
she thanked Gibson for his support.
01:01
It was a fashionable week over in Paris where the intricate and high-priced Haute Couture
01:05
collections began with shows by Chanel, Armani and Raf Simons for Christian Dior.
01:09
Speaking of Dior, its former designer John Galliano appears to be on the comeback trail
01:14
after his sacking for anti-Semitic remarks, with Oscar de la Renta inviting Galliano to
01:19
work in his studio for a few weeks.
01:21
Plenty of musical dates for Your Diary were announced this week, with the biggest being
01:25
the return of Metallica to the capital on April 19.
01:28
They performed a sold-out show at the same venue, Deux Arena, in November 2011.
01:33
Also performing in the coming weeks are crooner Julio Iglesias, who takes the stage at Dubai
01:38
World Trade Centre on March 21, and Indian Sufi singer Kailash Kher and Pakistani singers
01:43
Ali Azmat and Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan perform at the same venue on Feb 8.
01:48
In Bollywood, hunk John Abraham won us over with his charm and reminded us again that
01:52
he's not just a pretty face, but his battle is yet to be won.
01:56
There was a time when I tried to get away from that tag, but now I just don't bother.
02:01
Last year, just when I thought I had escaped, I won the tag of sexiest man alive.
02:05
Like somebody close to me once said, as far as John Abraham is concerned, you may be 30,
02:10
40 or 50, this tag of being attractive is always going to stay, said Abraham.
02:15
And no, he did not have his reaching for our tissues here.
02:17
Tabloid has learned that Feb is going to see the who's who of Bollywood descend upon Dubai.
02:22
Salman Khan will kick off the star-studded Celebrity Cricket League third season in Dubai
02:25
on Feb 23, accompanied by cheerleaders Chitrangada Singh, Nargis Fakhri and Kangana Ranaut.
02:31
Action of a different kind will unfold at the Great Women Awards on Feb 7.
02:35
Actresses Karishma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Urmila Matondkar are just some of the names
02:40
to attend the red carpet call.
02:41
At the recent Filmfare Awards, Ranbir Kapoor's Barfi and Vidya Balan's Kahani continued
02:46
with their winning streaks and scoped major awards including Best Actor and Best Actress.
02:51
Kamal Haasan's ambitious Tamil-language spy thriller Vishwaroopam will not release in
02:54
the UAE this weekend as scheduled.
02:57
The film is still under review and official at the National Media Council, told Tabloid.
03:02
In South Indian state Tamil Nadu, the thriller has been banned for two weeks following protests
03:06
staged by several Muslim groups who feared that their community was wrongly depicted
03:10
in the film.
03:11
In response, the actor has issued a statement saying,
03:14
I am not only hurt by these accusations of denigrating a community, but my sensibilities
03:18
are truly insulted.
03:20
At cinemas this weekend, Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin battle Sean Penn's baddie in
03:24
Gangster Squad, while Jessica Chastain takes on Osama Bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty.
03:29
Bollywood Thriller Race 2, starring Deepika Padukone, John Abraham and Saif Ali Khan screens
03:34
with a promise from the cast, it'll be bigger and better than Race.
03:38
And that's your weekly wrap.
03:41
Thanks for watching.
03:42
We'll see you next time.
