Partners
often depend on each other to take big decisions in life, and looks
like Sajid Khan alone has been calling the shots, when it comes to his
sweetheart Jacqueline Fernandez's professional life.<br /><br />
A source said that Sajid Khan, who is a judge of the dance reality show <i>Nach Baliye</i>, apparently ruled out Jacqueline Fernandez coming on the show to promote her movie <i>Race 2</i>. <br /><br />
A source said, "Initially, Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Deepika
Padukone, Anil Kapoor and Ameesha Patel were to come on the show. But
their dates were not matching, so finally it was just Jacqueline and
Deepika Padukone who were slotted to come."<br /><br />
However, Jacqueline Fernandez pulled out at the last moment and it was only Deepika Padukone who promoted the film on the show.<br /><br />
The source added, "Sajid didn't want Jacqueline to come on the show. It
was mutually decided between them that they shouldn't appear on the show
together."</div>

as a filmmaker, and I firmly believe that the pursuit of art and film
can change the world by promoting dialogue and acting as a catalyst for
change.”Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05362498051413841482noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919363219236721110.post-62045416343566011452013-01-24T01:55:00.001-08:002013-01-24T01:55:17.163-08:00Adele to perform at Oscars; baby name speculation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The <b>Queen of Soul </b> may not have sung Monday at <b>President Barack Obama</b> 's second inauguration, but <b>Aretha Franklin</b> 's famous hat made a repeat appearance.<br />
<br />
A miniature version of Franklin's gray-bowed creation was spotted with singers <b>John Mayer </b> and <b>Katy Perry</b>
, who sang at the Kids' Inaugural Concert on Saturday. Before the
festivities were under way, the fun-loving pop stars were caught on

inauguration in 2009.<br />

sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee" in 2009, and the blogosphere lit up with

Hot on the heels of the news that Vanessa Paradis is their new brand ambassador, comes the announcement that <a href="http://www.wwd.com/retail-news/mass-off-price/hm-to-show-during-paris-fashion-week-6651982">H&M will show at Paris Fashion Week!</a> It marks the first fashion show for the Swedish retailer in eight years.<br />
<br />
H&M will present 25 looks from its Autumn / Winter 2013-14 collection, designed by creative director, <strong>Ann-Sofie Johansson</strong>,
on February 27 during Paris Fashion Week. The show will be held at the
Musée Rodin, the location of previous catwalk shows for <b>Yves Saint Laurent</b> and <b>Dior</b>.<br />
"We felt excited about the collection and we really wanted to show it," said a spokesperson for the brand.<br />
<br />
It was way back in 2005 in New York when H&M last held a catwalk show. In November 2010, it hosted a one-off show for its Lanvin collaboration, enlisting <strong>Pixie Geldof</strong> and <strong>Dree Hemingway</strong> to model pieces from the collection.<br />
<br />
In other recent H&M news, Vanessa Paradis was recently named the new face of its Conscious Collection.
She models the ethical clothing range in a new campaign to promote the
Spring / Summer range, which includes a beautiful floral maxi dress, a
horse print dress with a flared skirt, and a bomber jacket.<br />
<br />
Earlier this month it was rumoured that Beyonce
could be fronting a new campaign for the Swedish retailer. The diva
star was spotted in the Bahamas in a photo shoot rumoured to be for
H&M. Busy times at H&M HQ! <br />

Director Luv Ranjan's love story <em>Akaash Vani</em> starring two not-so-popular faces will clash with Abbas-Mustan directed mega budget multistarrer <em>Race 2</em> when it hits screens Jan 25.<br />
We have it from a very reliable source that <em>Akaash Vani</em> producer Abhishek Pathak and director Ranjan took the decision to pitch their film directly against the <em>Race</em> franchise rather than coming a week earlier to avoid a clash.<br />
The earlier plan was to release <em>Akaash Vani</em> on Jan 18 when Sudhir Mishra's <em>Inkaar</em> was due. But when the core crew saw their end-product, they were confident of taking on the competition, although <em>Race 2</em>
was a formidable franchise with a showy lineup of stars including Saif
Ali Khan, Anil Kapoor, John Abraham and Deepika Padukone.<br />

"As for the competition, in Punjabi they say, <em>Chidiyaan naal jo baaz ladavaan taan Govind Singh naam dharaavan</em>

<strong>MUMBAI: Salman Khan rules the roost, as far as Bollywood is
concerned. That much is by now common knowledge. What’s a revelation is
just how ‘Dabangg’ our macho superstar can be, and just how much he can
get away with!</strong></div>
<br />
We had reported how amazingly star-studded
the launch of the third season of the CCL was. And now we have
exclusive pictures of all the action that look place on stage, where a
host of Bollywood superstars enthralled the crowds with their incredible
performances.<br />
<br />
The third edition of Celebrity Cricket League will
start from February 9 onwards. The launch of the League was an
absolutely splendid event, which saw the who’s who of Hindi, Tamil,
Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali and Bhojpuri film industry.<br />
<br />
The
performances that raised the temperatures were most certainly those of
the sexy Bong bombshell Bipasha Basu and the astoundingly pretty Katrina
Kaif. This event saw no dearth of glamour or high power entertainment.
Katrina performed to her uber sexy, sizzling song ‘Chikni Chameli’
moves, while her “good friend” Salman Khan went all out thrusting to the
beats of ‘Dabangg 2’ for his performance.<br />
<br />
Salman was even seen on
stage accompanied by Riteish Deshmukh, Suniel Shetty and Aftab
Shivdasani. The ‘Dabangg’ dude took their trip and was seen ribbing each
one of them about their on-field performance. When asked why he himself
didn’t become part of any of the celebrity cricket teams, Salman
quipped in his inimitable style: “That’s because I wanted to give others
a chance! No but seriously, I’m not a great cricket player. I didn’t
want to bring down the performance of any team by being part of the
team. It’s better if I attend the matches as a spectator, rather than a
player.”<br />
<br />
Bipasha Basu along with the Aussie cricketer Andrew
Symonds was the most dazzling performer of the evening. The event was
hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Ayushmann Khurrana , and both these young
men both enthralled the audiences with their wit and charm.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05362498051413841482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919363219236721110.post-84145380055805560982013-01-23T07:54:00.000-08:002013-01-23T07:54:01.853-08:00What made Deepika Padukone cry on Ram Leela sets<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Deepika Padukone allegedly broke down on the sets of the movie <em>Ram Leela,</em> after being handed a ‘difficult scene'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to the sources, the 27-year-old actress had an anxiety
attack during the shoot, and no one knew what hit her when she started
crying and telling the crew she wouldn’t be able to do the scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known to extract the deepest of emotions
from his actors, apparently sat down with her for a heartwarming chat,
once she broke down in tears.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The source further said that Bhansali postponed the shoot for Padukone, and the next day she delivered a stunner on the sets.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>MUMBAI: If anything brings back memories of the era gone by,
it most certainly was Priyanka Chopra’s attire at the music launch of
her refurbished film ‘Deewana Main Deewana’ in Andheri, Mumbai.</strong></div>
<br />
Priyanka
Chopra seems to have gone back in time, very literally, with her look
at the film’s music launch. ‘Deewana Main Deewana’ is a film that was
shelved and remade recently. ‘Deewana Main Deewana’ stars Govinda,
Priyanka Chopra, Kader Khan, Prem Chopra, Johnny Lever and Shakti
Kapoor, and is directed by K. C. Bokadia.<br />
<br />
Priyanka seems to have
taken the fate of the film to heart, for she was seen in a very outdated
white anarkali outfit, and her hair and makeup matched her foray back
in time. A long side plait of hair and garish makeup completed her look,
and reminded us of the pre-makeover Priyanka. Remember that young
beauty pageant winner who entered Bollywood all those years ago? That
frumpy, not-so-well-dressed, slightly pudgy one?<br />
<br />
Priyanka was
accompanied at the music launch by the cast and crew of the film, and by
Ila Arun (also disastrously dressed in a bandhini-esque salwar outfit).
Johnny Lever was also spotted on stage, launching the film’s music. The
film’s hero though, Govinda was conspicuous by his absence.<br />
We
certainly hope Priyanka’s digression from her usually perfectly turned
out self is a one-time affair. God forbid the early 2000’s Priyanka is
back! That would be such a shame indeed, for we absolutely love
Priyanka’s usual sense of sophisticated style! Armani, Gucci, Prada and
Versace et al!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05362498051413841482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919363219236721110.post-67395634839997384922013-01-23T03:02:00.002-08:002013-01-23T03:02:43.204-08:00BOX OFFICE: Salman Khan’s ‘Dabangg 2’ Is Officially a Blockbuster<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>MUMBAI: Released on 21st December, 2012, Salman Khan’s latest
film ‘Dabangg 2’ has once again proved which tiger roars mighty at the
ticket windows. Also featuring Sonakshi Sinha, Arbaaz Khan, Malaika
Arora Khan, Vinod Khanna, Prakash Raj, and Deepak Dobriyal, the film
officially falls in the category of a blockbuster.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
‘Dabangg 2’ did a phenomenal business of close to <strong>Rs 210 million (Rs 21 crore)</strong>
net on Day 1 – a non holiday. This is only second to that other big
super-hit of Salman Khan: ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ which had raked in a bumper Rs
320 million (Rs 32 crore) on opening day. To be fair, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ did
release on a big holiday, and the gap in margin can be attributed to
this fact.<br />
<br />
By it sixth day, ‘Dabangg 2′ had well crossed the Rs 1
billion (Rs 100 crore) net mark. Incidentally this milestone was crossed
on Salman Khan’s birthday which may have worked out as quite a gift for
the actor. The total first week collections of the film were in the
range of <strong>Rs 1.08 billion (Rs 108 crore) </strong>net.<br />
<br />
In its second week ‘Dabangg 2’ garnered approximately <strong>Rs 360 million (Rs 36 crore)</strong> net. The two-week total was pegged at a whopping <strong>Rs 1.44 billion (Rs 144 crore)</strong> net.<br />
<br />
Including the third weekend figure of <strong>Rs 80 million (Rs 8 crore)</strong> net the film has officially crossed the 150 crore mark.<br />

Anderson.<br />
<br />
A source said: 'Tracy has Kim doing 20 minutes of cardio,
followed by toning, then another 15 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of
dancing. Kim's also cut gluten and sugar from her diet.'
<br />
Another friend added to Closer magazine: 'She jokes her sex life is cardio enough some days.'
<br />
Meanwhile, Kanye is said to be concerned over Kim's plans for
their offspring to appear on her family's reality TV show, 'Keeping Up
with the Kardashains' as he wants to keep their baby as private as
possible.<br />
<br />
A source added: 'He's asked her to call meetings with E! TV over
the baby being on the show. She's asked him to compromise, but he
doesn't seem to be backing down.'

<b> <span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;">Arnold Schwarzenegger</span></span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white;"> has apparently confirmed that he will appear in <i>Terminator 5</i>.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
During a press junket in London yesterday (January 22), which was attended by <a href="http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=36267">Empire</a>, the actor mentioned the sequel in a list of his upcoming projects. Schwarzenegger is in the UK to promote his new movie <i>The Last Stand</i>, which opens tomorrow (January 24).<br />
<br />
Later that day, in a video webchat with <i>The Sun</i>, Schwarzenegger gave an update on the sequel's progress. He explained: "They're writing right now <i>Terminator 5</i>.
There have been some writers on it for the last year-and-a-half and
they could not pull it off. We have told them over and over that they
are going in the wrong direction, now they've finally got rid of those
writers and they've got new really quality writers. Now they're going in
the right direction."<br />

Speculating about the project's time frame, Schwarzenegger added: "I
think this year the script will be finished and we will be able to go
into pre-production."<br />
<br />
Earlier this month (January 2013), it was revealed that <i>Avatar</i> executive producer <b>Laeta Kalogridis</b> has been <a href="http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/avatar-executive-producer-to-write-new-terminator/294802">hired</a> to co-write the new <i>Terminator</i> movie with Patrick Lussier, writer-director of <i>Drive Angry</i> and <i>Dracula 2000</i>. The project is being steered by <i>Zero Dark Thirty</i> producer Megan Ellison, who owns the rights to the <i>Terminator</i> franchise, and her brother David, CEO of Skydance Productions, makers of <i>Star Trek Into Darkness</i> and <i>Jack Reacher</i>.<br />
<br />
Schwarzenegger played the cyborg assassin in three films released
between 1984 and 2003, but sat out the last instalment, 2009's <i>Terminator Salvation</i>, which starred <b>Christian Bale</b> and Sam Worthington.

Jessica Chastain finds awards shows "humbling".<br />
<br />
The
actress stars in Zero Dark Thirty, which has already earned her a
Golden Globe award for best actress and an Oscar nomination in the same
category.<br />
<br />
The 35-year-old landed her first big role in 2011 film
The Debt and despite her very sudden rise to fame, she keeps her feet
firmly on the ground.<br />
<br />
"There's nothing more humbling or grounding,
no matter how much attention you get in LA at an awards show, to be on
the stage in front of 900 people - you have to bring it to that moment
fully, and if you don't, they'll let you know," she smiled to <b></b>BBC News.<br />
<br />
"It's
incredible. My movies have only been out for two years and to think of
what's happened in the past two years. Every day I kind of stop and
think, 'What's happened in my life?'"<br />
Zero Dark Thirty sees
Jessica take on the role of CIA agent Maya who assists in the capture of
al-Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden.<br />
<br />
The redheaded star is excited about the film's potential to empower women.<br />
<br />
"For
a long time I was hearing that studios didn't want to make films with
female leads because they didn't think they would make any money," she
explained. "Maybe this is showing a new trend - audiences are interested
in everyone's story, not just the story of the few."<br />
<br />
Zero Dark Thirty is also up for a best picture at next month's Academy Awards.<br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span></b>The United States Marine Corps band initially confirmed that the
Destiny's Child singer lip-synched her impressive rendition of The
Star-Spangled Banner.<br />
The news, revealed by The Times and confirmed by ABC News, was also
confirmed by a spokesperson for the band on their Washington blog:"We
don't know why Beyoncé decided to use pre-recorded music. <br />
<br />
"All music (for inaugural ceremonies) is prerecorded as a matter of
course, and that's something we've done for years and years."<br />

According to The Guardian, they added: "The band played live for the

Beyoncé's performance."<br />
<br />
However later, Captain Gregory Wolf, a spokesman for the Marine
Corps, confirmed that while the musicians did indeed mime the national
anthem as requested, "no-one in the Marine Band is in a position to
assess whether it was live or prerecorded".<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>It’s pouring sequels in Bollywood’s backyard. In a bid to
cash in on franchises that have brought in box office numbers,
production houses continue to play the sequel game.</strong></span></div>
<br />
Picture this: Salman Khan’s <i>Dabangg 2 </i>did better business than the first part; Shah Rukh Khan’s <i>Don 2</i> managed an improvement in numbers over its earlier version. Ajay Devgn’s <i>Golmaal 3</i> is a bigger hit than <i>Golmaal</i> and <i>Golmaal Returns</i>; Hrithik Roshan’s <i>Krrish </i>grew in stature; Abhishek Bachchan is a <i>Dhoom</i> regular and Emraan Hashmi’s <i>Jannat 2</i> put him in the super star league.<br />
<br />
According to a <strong><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/10-sequels-to-release-this-year/articleshow/18131444.cms" target="_blank">report </a></strong>in
TOI, in a bid to emulate the success formula perfected by makers like
Mahesh Bhatt, Farhan Akhtar and Rohit Shetty, others too are engaging in
the sequel game. A trade source brought to our notice that this year
alone, Bollywood will see 10 sequels being released.<br />
<br />

Mahesh Bhatt says, “Blockbuster mentality has taken over, where
numbers are everything. The market compels you to deliver hits. We (
Vishesh Films) have created franchises like <i>Raaz</i>, <i>Murder</i>, <i>Jannat</i>
which have thrill, erotica and great music. It is difficult to create a
brand and once you do it, you are ensured a minimum return on judgment
day. The cow that gives you milk is the dearest of the flock.”<br />
<br />
Rohit Shetty, whose <i>Golmaal </i>series is a huge success, plans to keep the franchise alive. He is also working on the script of <i>Singham 2</i>. Says the filmmaker, “You can never have enough of a good thing. Wherever I go, I’m asked when will I make <i>Golmaal 4</i> and the <i>Singham</i> sequel. Obviously, public taste dictates box-office trends.”<br />
<br />
Producer Rohan Sippy, who is planning a sequel to <i>Bluffmaster </i>says,
“Sequels need to surprise the audience. Few years back, the trend
wasn’t popular. Today it is. I will however not make a sequel just to
cash in on the success of the original. If you can make a sequel like <i>Munnabhai’s</i>, then its fine.”<br />
Bhatt adds, “Sequels have a recall value, so marketing one seems
safer. But at the same time, these films stand the risk of not living up
to the audience’s expectations. Even Francis Ford Coppola had to deal
with huge expectations when<i> Godfather</i> sequels were compared to the<br />

<br />
<span class="dateline">Park City, Utah – </span>The Sundance
Film Festival is supposed to be an indie film orgy for the masses, where
little known filmmakers can be seen and heard, and film lovers from all
walks of life can descend on Park City for 10 days of intense movie --
and movie star -- watching.<br />
<br />
But despite founder Robert Redford’s claims last year that Sundance
is for the “99 percenters,” it turns out those with bulging bank
accounts have priority. Because even if you have purchased a ticket for a
particular screening at the festival, you can still get bumped from
your seat for someone who purchased a pricey festival package.<br />
<br />
One Sundance attendee learned this the hard way after turning up to
Saturday’s late night screening of Daniel Radcliffe’s “Kill Your
Darlings” with a $15 screening ticket purchased ahead of the festival in
hand.<br />
<br />
“I spent $60 on a cab fare, and a further $10 at the concession stand
and arrived well in advance of the 15-minute requirement ahead of the
film’s start time,” Elissa – a New Yorker who flew in for the festival
and preferred to withhold her full name – told FOX411’s Pop Tarts
column. “All that only to be turned away because pass holders hold
priority at Sundance. At least 25 other ticket holders were also turned
down at the door, which was very disappointing. I never expected
Sundance to be like that.”<br />
<br />
It turns out a top-tier All Access package can be purchased for a
cool $3,000 and provides one, well, all access for the first five days
of the festival. The same All Access pass can be purchased for the
second, slightly less hectic half of the festival for another
$2,500. According to the Sundance website, all such packages this year
are sold out.<br />
<br />
All Access passes don’t require the holder to buy individual tickets,
or even reserve a space in advance – they are simply required to arrive
at the theater at least 30 minutes before the start time to gain
priority, and must be seated 15 minutes prior to guarantee their seats.<br />
<br />
In Elissa’s case, she claims festival volunteers were apologetic, but
instructed her to read the “fine print.” Yet there is no such
disclaimer on the back of Sundance tickets, which state simply that the
ticket holder “must be seated 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start
time or seat may be forfeited.”<br />
The Fine Print section on the Sundance website outlines more
information, including that “quantities are limited” and that they “do
not guarantee ticket availability for any participants.” However, it is
not clear that even if you buy a ticket, your entry may be barred.<br />
<br />
A worker in the theater’s box office said that with regards to this
particular screening of “Kill Your Darlings,” way more pass holders
showed up than were anticipated, so they offered a refund to those who
were not able to be seated. It was also confirmed that festival pass
holders do have priority because the passes are the “most expensive item
you can hold.”<br />
A rep for Sundance also addressed the issue, telling us that “an
unprecedented number of Festival pass holders showed up for the
screening” which required them to turn away some ticketholders and the
wait list.<br />
<br />
“Ticketholders were given options of receiving refunds or vouchers
for other screenings, and we've added a screening of ‘Kill Your
Darlings’ on Tuesday, for which (those) ticket holders are guaranteed
admission,” continued the rep. “We do our very best to predict pass
holder attendance across the 700 plus Festival screenings, based on
historical and ticketing data, and incidences such as Saturday night's
screening rarely occur."<br />
<br />
But even the alleged rare occasion has some shaking their head at the
protocol coming from the not-for-profit Sundance Institute, and the
associated self-governing film festival.<br />
“It is perhaps a reaction to the financial pressures, and the need to
maintain sponsorship at a high level. But they should remember their
independent spirit and balance the needs of individuals versus
corporations,” noted independent movie producer Mark Joseph, adding that
he was surprised to learn about the ticket protocol.<br />
<br />
And Dan Gainor, VP of the Media Research Center, said he has attended
the festival many times and experienced the “bumping” protocol
first-hand when package holders show up in droves.<br />
“There is no doubt that the big names of the cinema rule the show.
Celebrity visits, movie sessions and star-watching dominate the
program,” he said. “It is still indie, but it has become part of the
Hollywood establishment.<br />
However, others are less disturbed about All Access ticket holders
getting priority and simply put it down to the nature of the beast.<br />
<br />
“The fact that Sundance would cater to such influencers only seems to
honor the work of the independent filmmaker,” said Utah media
strategist Scott Lazerson. “After coming to Sundance for ten years in a
row, I have never been denied entry to a film – other than times I stood
in the waitlist line. But I would gladly give up my seat if it meant a
potential distribution deal.”<br />
And according to Glenn Selig of the Publicity Agency, the growing
popularity of the Redford-founded festival – even to the point where not
everyone’s tickets can be honored – is part of what has given rise to
the whole indie film fest circuit.<br />
<br />
“If Sundance attracts a ‘who’s who’ type of audience, it aids the
filmmakers and their films. The primary purpose of Sundance is to give
exposure to indie filmmakers,” he said. “The upside is the popularity of
Sundance and the frustration some feel about being unable to attend has
paved the way for more film festivals around the country.”</div>

Taylor Swift touched down in the UK yesterday — with pals saying it’s for a “showdown” with Harry Styles.<br />
<br />
The "You Belong With Me" singer racked up the air miles in her private jet to fly in to Luton airport around noon.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
Taylor, 23, who hasn’t seen 18-year-old Harry since they broke up, was
then driven to a London hotel — near where the One Direction star has a
house.<br />
<br />
A source said: “Taylor flew to Luton and then travelled to London
yesterday — and there’s talk of a meeting with Harry being on the cards.<br />
<br />
“She has no obvious reason or promo duties in London this week.<br />
<br />
“Harry has just got back from a small tour in Japan with the band and now has four days off.<br />
<br />
“Out of all the hotels there are in London, Taylor has opted for one close to Harry’s house.”<br />

<br />
Arnold Schwarzenegger may have dug himself a massive hole over the past
few years between the love child scandal and the hardball negotiations
during preliminary divorce talks, but he’s apparently still trying to
gain leverage and propel himself back to where he once was. At least
that’s what the former Governor of California told a German publication
during a recent interview for his film <i>The Last Stand</i>.
<br /><br />
Speaking to <a href="http://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/kino/arnold-schwarzenegger/das-kino-comeback-des-jahres-28195128.bild.html">Bild</a>,
Schwarzenegger said he and his wife Maria Shriver have cooled it on the
fighting, and he’s still hoping they’ll get back together because he
loves her. Over the past few months, the estranged spouses have been
spotted out and about a few times running errands or doing things with
their children. Those excursions don’t necessarily mean getting back
together is imminent, but considering most divorcing couples don’t even
want to be in the same room to work out property arrangements, there is
definitely a better chance here than usual.
<br /><br />
In the end, it will probably come down to how hard Arnold is willing to
fight. He’s the one who screwed up. He should be putting every ounce
of strength and every one of his resources into showing his family how
frightfully sorry he is about straying. It’s going to take a Herculean
effort to win back their trust. Luckily for Arnold, he’s certainly no
stranger to Herculean feats.
<br /><br />
We’ll keep you updated.
