Bruce Willis says his wife Emma Heming does not mind his onscreen kisses with beautiful actresses like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mary-Louise Parker.
Willis, 58, is starring with Zeta-Jones and Parker in action comedy "Red 2" and the actor believes he is lucky to get a chance to be romantic with women who he is not married to, reported Us magazine.
"I get to kiss two women in this film, which I seldom get to do in some of my other work. I get to kiss girls!," Willis said.
Willis has been married to Heming since 2009 and hasa one year old daughter, Mabel with her.
"I think I'm very fortunate. I get asked to do a lot of different kinds of things. Some of them include weapons, some of them include jokes, from time to time I get to make out with women that I'm not married to. How often does that happen?," he said.
Heming is good sport about his onscreen displays of affection.
"Nobody gets mad if you have to kiss someone every once in a while. You say, 'Look, it's right in the script. It says, 'Now (Bruce) kisses Mary-Louise Parker...Now (Bruce) kisses Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Veteran actress Manjula Vijayakumar, who had worked in more than 100 films in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, died in Chennai today due to a stomach injury. She was 59.
Manjula is survived by husband, actor Vijayakumar and three daughters who had also acted in Tamil films as heroines.
Manjula made her debut as a supporting actress in a 1969 film Shanthi Nilayam. She was seen in her first lead role in Rickshawkaran (1971).
In the late '80s, Manjula was seen in supporting roles. She has worked with the likes of NTR, Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, Kamal Hassan and Rajinikanth.
As the news of her demise spread, southern actors took to Twitter to mourn the loss of the late actress.
Actor Salman Khan was on Wednesday charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2002 hit-and-run case for which he can face a jail term upto 10 years.
Speaking about the case, well-known lawyer Majeed Memon, says, "Although this widely discussed case has been delayed for a fairly long time, the incident is 11 years old and therefore, in a criminal trial it becomes difficult to secure the evidence of relevant witnesses at such a belated stage. Some witnesses die, others change their residences over the years and become unavailable to the prosecution, thereby making it difficult to establish the case. In the instant case of Salman Khan, what needs to be found out is, as to who is responsible for this delay."
He went on to add, "The accused, Salman Khan, himself cannot exclusively be held responsible for this long delay. In criminal matters, the delay can be attributed to various factors including the procedural pendency of revisions and appeals even before the trial. In any case, such inordinate delay should be avoided in the best interest of truth and justice."
"Now that the charges in the case have been framed, it is an important milestone and it is expected that now the trial court will not delay in conducting and concluding this trial. Needless to say that non-availability of witnesses causes advantage to the accused in all trials, for which the accused cannot be faulted. The prosecution as required by law has to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt and if any doubt is left out, the benefit is necessarily extended to the accused," said Memon.

Whether you’ve woken up too late or have a last-minute party to primp for, you’re going to need these fast and fabulous make up tricks — little fixes that make a big impact.

1. Angelic eyes
The trick: Brighter eyes with one tool.
How: Work a little white eyeliner (preferably an iridescent white) onto the rim of the eye from the outside to the inner corner. It casts a glowing halo effect that is angelic.
2. Easy brow tweezing
The trick: Shape eyebrows for frame the face.
How: Using a slant tip tweezer, place the tweezers very close to the skin and swiftly pull the hair in the direction of the growth. Stand about a foot away from the mirror and alternate brows.
3. Wider eyes in one step
The trick: Eye flourish in a hurry.
How: If your time is tight, forget a complex eye make up look; swipe on two coats of mascara. Leaving your eyes mascara-free means your eyes have no frame and your look isn’t complete.
4. Speedy lips
The trick: Fast-track your pout with lip stain.
How: A stained look is much quicker to achieve than a fully made-up mouth. With a clean finger, pat lip stain into your lips so that the colour looks washed rather than opaque.
5. Shortest manicure
The trick: Gorgeous nails in 60 seconds flat.
How: Remove all polish, clean under your nails (with lemon juice, if you have it) and massage the thickest lotion you can find into your cuticles. Lip balm will suffice.
6. Pink lippy to fix flaws
The trick: For faking flawless skin.
How: To really perfect your complexion — no matter what your skin tone — wear lipstick in a warm pink. It distracts people’s eyes from blemishes and other imperfections.
7. Lipstick as a blush
The trick: Lipstick can double as a creamy textured blush.
How: Dab a clean finger onto lipstick and smile. Where the apples of your cheeks pop out blend on the colour, sweeping it up towards your temples.
8. Multi-purpose foundation
The trick: A hardworking make-up base.
How: Choose a mineral foundation for a covered yet natural finish; this means you can skip powder too. This type of base is great for all skin types, especially if you suffer from acne or have sensitive skin.


Beginning at about 9 a.m. ET Thursday, the country's largest financial institutions will endure a large-scale coordinated cyberattack, the likes of which we've never seen.
Good thing it's just a drill.
About 50 institutions -- including banks like JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) and Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) -- will participate in the exercise, called "Quantum Dawn 2." Several government agencies, including the U.S. Treasury, will observe the drill.
The idea is to simulate what would happen if hackers penetrated certain systems in financial companies and agencies. If breached, infections could, in theory impact the entire gamut of the sector from exchanges to brokerages to insurance companies.
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), a trade group, will orchestrate the exercise. The simulated attack will run from 9 a.m. to about 3 p.m. today, crunching about two and a half days worth of faux attacks those hours. No real systems or accounts will be impacted during the simulation.

To take part in the drills, each of the participating institutions will be running software developed by Cyber Strategies, a Northfield, Vt., firm that specializes in making cyber exercise software for financial institutions.
Karl Schimmeck, SIFMA's vice president of financial services operations, declined to share specifics of what exactly the simulated threats would look like, but similar drills in the past have looked like a giant, computerized version of roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons.
Mandiant: Cyber espionage is the new normal
An employee sitting at his desk might get a prompt saying, "this bank is having integrity issues with money," or "you cant make trades over this technical system." The employee then might role-play talking to an FBI agent -- likely an actual one enlisted to help with the drill, said Dave Aitel, CEO of the security firm Immunity, who formerly worked as a research scientist for the National Security Agency.
Institutions will have the opportunity to practice sharing information with one another during the drill to help navigate through the threats, Schimmeck said.

The financial sector is hoping to prepare itself for a massive, disruptive attack -- a growing concern lately, as "hacktivists," organized cybercriminals and government-spnosored attacks become increasingly large and successful. Though still a far-off doomsday scenario, some security industry experts say the financial sector is vulnerable to cyber-terrorists aiming to damage the U.S. economy.
In a digitized world, every sector needs to worry about cyber breaches, but the financial sector is in a "uniquely bad position," said Aitel. That's because banks and other financial institutions have to do deal with money flows in real time, with markets hanging in the balance.
"Our industry has been the target of many attacks over the past year, and it's important that we stay one step ahead," said Schimmeck.
SIFMA said that Thursday's drills attracted twice the number of financial institutions that participated in first Quantum Dawn exercise, held in 2011.
Though some skeptical security experts dismissed Quantum Dawn as a PR stunt, SIFMA said the first run was useful in uncovering flaws in the industry's cyberattack protocols. The trade group found that banks were largely good at sharing information with one another, but bad at making real-time critical decisions for mitigating the threats.
This time around, banks are hoping to improve their performance and discover new vulnerabilities.
"The banks won't answer all of their questions," said Aitel. "But they will learn more about what kinds of questions they need to ask."

Where are the video bloggers raising questions about Samsung's decline?
Fanny Schlatter, 18, with bandaged thigh and burned-out Galaxy S3
FORTUNE -- Did you miss the report Monday about the Samsung Galaxy S3 that caught fire in the pants pocket of a Swiss teenager, sending out shoulder-high flames and inflicting second- and third-degree burns on her right thigh?
I'm not surprised. These things can happen in any device powered by lithium-ion batteries, and the news of such incidents tends to fly under the radar.
Unless, of course, the device that catches fire is made by Apple (AAPL). Then -- whether it's an iPod in Japan, a MacBook in California or an iPhone in Finland -- the Internet lights up like a Christmas tree and doomsday pundits start weighing in.
Take, for example, this Your Gadget Guide video from last March titled "Apple iPhone 5 Catches Fire - Apple Going Downhill?




Paul Bhattacharjee was in a production at the Royal Court Theatre
The body of an actor who appeared in the James Bond film Casino Royale has been found.
Paul Bhattacharjee, 53, was last seen leaving the Royal Court theatre in London's Sloane Square on 10 July.
His body was found at Splash Point cliffs in Seaford, East Sussex, on 12 July. It was confirmed on Wednesday that it was the actor.
Next of kin have been informed. Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious.
The actor, from Redbridge, north-east London, was said to be in good spirits when he was last seen but after sending a text message to his girlfriend at 21:00 BST, no-one heard from him and an appeal was launched.
The Met was contacted on Wednesday morning by Sussex Police who said a body matching his description had been found last week.

There are 66,134 cash machines in operation across the UK - an all-time high - yet they have changed little since they first appeared on the High Street in 1967.
As payment methods move digital, so cash machines will need to develop from the terminals that we have all become used to, experts say.
The main challenge comes from the smartphone. Mobile banking allows customers to check balances, organise transfers, make swift payments between friends in restaurants or pay the local tradesman.
The answer from the industry, it appears, is to make the cash machine more like a smartphone.
A recent cash machine jamboree in London featured a host of prototype terminals that had the look, and feel, of oversized smartphones or tablet computer.
