`Good Will Hunting` actress Minnie Driver says her five-year-old son Henry thinks that his mother is a princess.

The Hollywood star is still disappointed with the cancellation of her 2009 TV series `The Riches`.
“It just kills me. It kills me because ideas like that don`t come around very often. It was (on hiatus) during the US writers` strike and there was no support when we came back,” she said.
“Everybody had been watching reality television for nine months. When we came back on the air, there was no big campaign to remind people of our presence.
I was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for that. I feel like it wasn`t a pile of rubbish that was meant to be discarded,” she added.

The `Salt` actress continued saying that she had to haul the boards in a garbage bag to Universal herself.
The mum-of-six also insisted that she has a huge responsibility to get the picture right because she loves Zamperini, who taught her that resilience and strength of the human spirit is an extraordinary thing in dark times. (ANI)
The Shiv Sena is eyeing the south Mumbai constituency by fielding BJP sitting MLA Mangal Prabhat Lodha’s son Abhinandan Lodha who is a Shiv Sena candidate. Congress MP Milind Deora has won the Lok Sabha election twice from South Mumbai which is considered as one of the high profile area of the city.
Since majority of the population of this area belongs to Gujarati, Marwari and Marathi community hence Sena is fielding Lodha to challenge Deora.

Abhinandhan Lodha is an able candidate hence he is likely to contest from south Mumbai.”
Most of the voters in south Mumbai constituency belong to Gujarati, Marwadi and Marathi communities. Abhinandan Lodha can attract Gujarati and Marwadi voters and win their confidence. Abhinandhan can give a tough fight to Milind Deora in the south Mumbai constituency.
Nobody is willing to question Mangal Prabhat Lodha because of his strong financial status. The party is searching for some financial heavy weight candidate and Abhinandhan fits the bill. Mangal Prabhat Lodha is the founder of the renowned Lodha Group a real estate firm.

sanjayQuestioning the repeated parole given to actor Sanjay Dutt who is serving a six-year term in a Pune jail, the Bombay High Court said, “What is the point of rules and regulations if a convict can enjoy 105 days outside the jail?”
Hearing a Public Interest Litigation or PIL against the actor’s parole, the court also observed that the state government “would not have shown this diligence in cases where convict is a common man” and added that the state “should exercise its discretionary powers properly and should not discriminate.”
The court’s remarks came a day after the Centre asked the Maharashtra government to explain why the 54-year-old actor, who is serving a six-year jail term in a 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, has been given the special privilege of parole thrice in the nine months he has been in jail.
Mr. Dutt was convicted by the Supreme Court for illegal possession of arms and was sentenced to six years of imprisonment. He had earlier served 18 months. He surrendered before a Mumbai court in May to serve the remaining term.
The actor has been out on parole since December 21 and was to return to the Yerawada Jail in Pune on February 21. Reports said his parole was extended again till March 21 on his request to be with his wife Manyata, who is said to be unwell, and his twin children.
Earlier, Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil had said the state government will investigate allegations that the actor was being provided alcohol in jail.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Tuesday said the construction of Chhatrapati Shivaji memorial off the Arabian Sea will be completed in three years.
The work of erecting statues and memorial of other noted personalities like Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj in Kolhapur, B R Ambedkar in Mumbai and former chief minister late Marotrao Kannamwar in Vidarbha would also be completed in stipulated time period, he said while replying to supplementary demands in the Legislative Assembly.
“It is true that the work on erecting the statue of Shivaji Maharaj was delayed due to security and environmental issues. But we will complete the project in three years,” Pawar said.
The government passed Rs 1,370 crore of supplementary demands after discussion here in the Assembly.
The issue was raised by Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Eknath Khadse, who lamented that nothing much has taken place after announcement of establishment of memorials.
“We are not against the memorials of tall personalities. But the government has failed to complete them. The government makes on budgetary provisions for the statues and memorials but what has happened to the statue of Shivaji Maharaj, Savitribai Phule statue, Dr Ambedkar memorial promised by the government?” Khadse asked.
MNS leader Bala Nandgaokar supported Khadse’s views and demanded that the statue of late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray be erected at the gates of the Assembly.
“Balasaheb was one of the biggest leaders of Maharashtra and I have been demanding to build his statue at Vidhan Bhavan gates,” Nandgaokar said.
