Angelina Jolie to quit acting

Actress Angelina Jolie is considering giving up acting to focus on her home and children.

The Mr and Mrs. Smith star, who raises six kids with partner Brad Pitt, said: "It (acting) is not the most important thing in my life. Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I'm very, very grateful, it's a fun job."

"It's a luxury... But I don't think I'll do it much longer. Because I have a happy home... I got back from work last night and everybody was playing music and dancing, and I suddenly found myself dancing around with a bunch of little fun crazy people," she added.

The actress has several projects lined up including a big-screen adaptation of Patricia Cornwell's popular Kay Scarpetta novels. So far she has completed filming The Tourist with Johnny Depp. Source: Hindustan times

Aishwarya Rai depressed for that!..

Mani Ratnam’s highly awaited film ‘Raavan’ hit the theatres worldwide, the female protagonist of the film, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan isolated herself from the public. She is reluctant to face the media due to constant controversy surrounding the film and its star casts. ‘Raavan’ was highly criticized by the critics and Abhishek Bachchan was targeted for his bad show.

“It is to be noted that Ash has not made any public appearance after the film and her PR machinery has been asked to remain silent regarding her whereabouts. This is to avoid any uncomfortable questions from the media,” a source reportedly said.

“The former Miss World was extremely excited before the release of the film since she played the heroine in both Hindi and Tamil versions. Ash thought that she and her husband Abhishek would win accolades from all quarters. But the output was different and this has depressed her a lot,” the source added.

Even Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was showing his anger over the poor editing which spoiled Abhishek’s character, “Lot of merited film edited out, causing inconsistent performance and narrative. Abhishek's erratic behavior was due to symbolic 10 heads visually appearing and each giving him different attitudes to adopt for a situation, he would then finally shake them off and decide,” he said.

Past is past, we hope Aishwarya soon come out of the depression and delivers many more blockbuster with Abhishek.Source: BM
