Hefner, 84, engaged to girlfriend, 24

Love knows no age barriers — and Playboy chief Hugh Hefner proves this. The 84-year-old has apparently got engaged to his 24-year-old girlfriend Crystal Harris.
Hefner posted on Twitter that he has gifted Harris a ring on Christmas eve, the tmz.Com reports. “After the movie (The Tourist) tonight (December 24), Crystal and I exchanged gifts. I gave Crystal a ring. A truly memorable

Christmas Eve,” he posted.
Hefner has married twice before. He first tied the knot with Mildred Williams, the marriage lasted from 1949 to 1959, and later with model-actress Kimberly Conrad with whom he split earlier this year. —IANS

Farrell is scared of spiders
London: He is known for his portrayal of tough gangsters but Hollywood heartthrob Colin Farrell says that he is not brave in real life and is scared of spiders and other insects.
The Irish actor, who plays a tough tattooed Russian in new movie The Way Back, does not mind snakes though, reported Contactmusic.
“To be honest with you, I’m a big girl’s blouse. I wouldn’t be into spiders and stuff. I wouldn’t be a fan of things with more than four legs. I get suspicious,” said the actor.
“Snakes I don’t mind. I wouldn’t like one wrapped around my neck or taking a lump out of me but I don’t mind them too much,” he added. Farrell stars with Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess and Saoirse Ronan in The Way Back, based on a true story about soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and endured a 4,000 mile trek to freedom in India. —PTI

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
