The Packers dominated football throughout much of 1960s.Lombardi died in 1970 at age 57, and since 1971, the trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winner has been named the Vince Lombardi Trophy.ESPN said current plans call for the movie to be released around the professional football championship games in 2012.</div> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:23:11 EDT http://www.filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=13870 Media reports that Tiger Woods is working with his swing coach Hank Haney have leading golfers talking of a possible return to action for the world number one.The websites of the Golf Channel and Golf Digest have both reported that Woods was seen working with Haney on a driving range in Florida over the weekend, which has led to speculation that his return could be on the horizon."It's certainly going to be interesting to see not just how he plays but just how he handles the whole situation," Britain's Rory McIlroy said on Tuesday at the Doral course in Miami, where the WGC-CA Championship will take place this week."I think everyone is excited to see him just get back out on to the golf course and play golf and from the reports I've heard, he seems to be swinging it well and as good as he ever was.Woods, who said he was taking an "indefinite break" from the game last December, has only spoken publicly once since and he left it wide open on when he would return.The first major of the year is the Masters at Augusta on April 8 and if Woods were to return for that event he would likely pick a March tournament to get into the groove.The Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and the private Tavistock Cup, both close to Woods' home in the Orlando area, would appear to be ideal occasions but there has been no indication that Woods is considering entering."It will be exciting the next few weeks, whenever he comes back, I know a lot of people are saying Tavistock or Bay Hill," McIlroy said. "It would be nice to see him back."Woods has won six times at Bay Hill including last year's event but while such a return might be logical, no-one has any idea whether it is actually going to materialize."I don't know what's going to happen, how the reaction will be," said Britain's Paul Casey."You know, golf is here. Golf will always be here, waiting. So we will see what happens when he does return."

Her painting  Thoughts has been accepted by a reputed international art auction house. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to Sridevi’s favourite charity.At the moment, Sridevi is in unwilling to talk about her passion for painting. However, her husband, Boney Kapoor confirms the news and says, “Yes, Sri’s painting has been accepted for an auction by a well-known international art house.The auction will take  place in April and all the money that Sri gets from it will be donated.” Incidentally, this is the first time that the now reclusive actress has made her paintings public.“Only two friends, Salman Khan, after he was released from the Jodhpur jail, and fashion designer Manish Malhotra, have been gifted a painting each by her. She has been painting religiously for some time now,” says her proud husband.Boney says his wife spends 4-5 hours a day painting. “It is generally in the evening. After she has finished with household duties and is done with our daughters’ homework, Sri locks herself away to paint,” adds Boney.“After me and the kids, painting is her main passion. Now her paintings have reached a level of professionalism where they can fetch a handsome price.”Where does this new passion leave Sridevi’s  plans to return to acting? Boney replies, “Sri has been acting since the age of four. She is the only child artiste to have reached the number one position in Hindi films.  She will return to acting only when something special comes her way.” Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:27:43 EDT http://www.filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=13872 Troubled rapper DMX was arrested in Arizona on Tuesday for violating his probation by regularly using illegal drugs during the last nine months, authorities said.The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, told a probation officer that he used cocaine and was not complying with the terms of his treatment plan, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told Reuters.He faces five counts of violating probation.Simmons was booked into a Phoenix jail late Tuesday afternoon and was isolated from other inmates, sheriff's officials said."We would hope that he is finally sent to prison," Arpaio said.

But it's just a shame about the weed, because I did love it,' he said.Anti-drugs activist Debra Bell took exception to the remarks, insisting the singer's comments are irresponsible.'Does he really know what he's saying? This drug causes huge damage to children and their families,' she said. Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:34:45 EDT http://www.filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=13876  The executive director of the film academy said Tuesday that Farrah Fawcett wasn't included in the Academy Awards' In Memoriam segment because the actress was better known as a TV star.It was a difficult decision for the committee that assembles the segment to omit Fawcett, said Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences executive director Bruce Davis, who added that he's not surprised some fans and family members are upset.Fawcett's family issued a statement through a publicist Tuesday saying they were "deeply saddened" and "bereft with this exclusion of such an international icon who inspired so many for so many reasons."Davis said the academy committee debated about including Fawcett and Gene Barry, a longtime TV actor who died in December at age 90, in the memorial segment but ultimately omitted both.Davis and his colleagues thought that while the two actors appeared in movies, they were better known for their "remarkable television work" and would be more appropriately honored by the television academy at the Emmy Awards.The group "was kind of figuring that probably the Farrah Fawcett and Gene Barry omissions would be the ones we'd get the most comments on," he said. He acknowledged that he "did get one letter about Miss Fawcett."The academy director said "an unusual number of extremely distinguished screenwriters" died this year, and the academy tried to honor many of them in the short memorial segment."In every category, you're going to miss some wonderful people," said Davis, who has helped assemble Oscar's In Memoriam montage since it began in 1993.When asked why Michael Jackson was included when actors were left out, Davis explained that Jackson had appeared in a popular theatrical film recently. Fawcett and Jackson both died on June 25."Think of all the blogging we would have gotten if we had left him out!" he said.Still, he said he understands that the Fawcett and Barry omissions sting."There's nothing you can say to people, particularly to family members, within a day or two of the show that helps at all," Davis said. "They tend to be surprised and hurt, and we understand that and we're sorry for it."

I will give them options and they will decide, which one to use in the film,' said Akon.Produced by 'Red Chilies Entertainment', 'Ra.One' will see Shah Rukh playing a superhero.Asked if he is planning to do more work with Indian music directors, he said: 'You will see me doing more things in India soon.'The singer insists he finds African entertainment culture quite similar to what he sees in India.'You know the tradition in Africa is not different from India. There is same type of entertainment going on, the difference is only in language. I always wanted to expand my horizon, explore and enjoy,' said Akon who will soon go on a world tour.He is looking forward to performances in India as well.'The world tour is coming soon and India is one of my biggest market so I will do number of shows here,' said Akon.The singer dedicated two lines from his song 'Beautiful' to actress Kareena Kapoor, who was present at the event.

On July 22, last year, it was reported that Rajeev Khandelwal was in a serious relationship with Manjiri Kamtikar, who works for an ad agency. The couple will now take their relationship to the next level.The wedding is slated for December 2010. The engagement will take place in May. While the marriage will be a big bash, to be held most probarbly in Mumbai, the engagement will be a low-key affair outside Mumbai.Rajeev and Manjiri’s parents had met briefly in Mumbai, before they had a long chat in Ooty recently and decided that their kids should legalise their relationship. Interestingly, that meeting was incidental. Rajeev had hosted a surprise party for his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary (February 28) to which he invited Manjiri’s parents too.Her parents were not aware of the cause of the celebration, until they reached the venue (a hotel). A source says, “There was a campfire and lovely music by a professional pianist. The setting was just perfect for something very romantic to happen.”Confirming the news, Rajeev said, “Yes, Manjiri and I will have a ring ceremony in May. I am very happy today. And I still remember that day when I went up to her parents a few hours before you guys printed the details about her and told them that I love their daughter.It seems just like yesterday. For me, Manjiri is the most beautiful girl. She is the epitome of today’s woman who has her head firmly on her shoulders.”His fiancée-to-be, Manjiri, added, “I’ve known Rajeev since quite some time now. We are very familiar with each other’s virtues and flaws. In fact, we balance each other’s weak points. We match each other perfectly.”We wish the well-matched couple lots of luck.
