Freida Pinto opposite James Franco in Rise of the Apes

Freida Pinto has been out of films ever since the multiple Oscar winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. The actress is recently approached for one of the most prestigious and coveted international projects.

The hot lass has been approached to star opposite James Franco of ‘Freaks and Geeks’ fame in the prequel of ‘Planet of the Apes’. Freida will play the character of Caroline, a primatologist while Franco will be seen as a scientist who becomes a crucial figure in the war between humans and apes.

‘Planet of the Apes’ is set in present day San Francisco. The film deals with the aftermath of man’s experiments with genetic engineering which lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

If all turns out well, the film which is to be directed by Rupert Wyatt will go on floors next month and release by June 24, 2011.

Meghna Naidu made pregnant

Bollywood hottie Meghna Naidu turned furious and has just lodged a complaint to the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell in Mumbai about a hacker who made her ‘pregnant’.

Sources say that a hacker had hacked Naidu’s Gmail account and chatted with her friends, falsely claiming that the actress “was pregnant from a fling with a guy whose name she couldn’t remember” and that she “needed advice”.

However, when the impersonator chatted with Naidu’s publicist, the PR specialist smelled something fishy. “PRs specialize in understanding the psyche of their clients. I take special efforts and time to comprehend how each client thinks, feels, behaves and talks. This person on chat had a subtle devilish sarcasm, and as I know Meghna, she’s cool and clear, but hardly sarcastic,” said her publicist.

However, when sources contacted the actress, she confirmed said, “I was paranoid when I checked my Google chats. This imposter had been chatting with a lot my friends and claimed I was pregnant out of a fling. To add to this craziness, he wrote, I’d forgotten the name of the guy who made me pregnant. All this bogus talk was insane and scary. We complained at the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell. Sadly and strangely, the cops there didn’t seem to be much interested about my case. I hope they are able to track the hacker”.

Liev Schreiber loved Watts love scene

Hollywood actor Liev Schreiber loved the love making scene between his partner Naomi Watts and Samuel L Jackson in their new movie.

Liev who has two children - Alexander, two, and 16-month-old Samuel - with Watts described the intimate encounter between his long-term partner and Jackson in new movie "Mother and Child" as "smoking hot".

Speaking about visiting Schreiber at the New York theatre where he is starring in a production of "A View from the Bridge", Jackson said: "When I walked into the dressing room that was the first thing Liev talked about. He said, ‘That was so great the way you set it up, your clothes were on, but it was smoking hot’".

The 61-year-old actor also admitted he was delighted that Watts’ aggressive character took charge during the scene.

"Fortunately, she was the one in charge. So it worked out great. I didn`t have to go through the normal things you go through when you have a lovemaking scene," he said.
