Demi Moore praised by daughter for career sacrifice

Demi Moore and ex-hubby Bruce Willis’ daughter Rumer has credited her star mom for making a huge sacrifice by abandoning her movie career to care for her children.

Moore, 46, chucked Hollywood career in the late 1990s to look after her three daughters, and became a full-time single mother after she split with the ‘Armageddon’ star in 1998.

And now, her 21-year-old daughter Rumer, the eldest of Moore`s three children, has praised her mum for putting her kids before her career.

"I didn`t realise until I got older. She was at the peak of her career and she left to take care of us, and that`s the reason me and my sisters are as grounded as we are,” the Daily Express quoted her as having told Glamour magazine.

“It was an incredible decision that many other people would not have made. Otherwise we might have been a little bit crazier, so thanks, Mum!" added Rumer.

Jordan, Peter Andre file divorce papers

Jordan, aka Katie Price, and singer Peter Andre have officially put an end to their four-year marriage by filing papers for divorce.Peter was said to have made the move first. But when the glamour girl found out she reportedly wanted to beat the ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker to court and allegedly called her team of attorneys to take action as well.

"It`s quite sad really and nothing more than a petty snipe from Ms Price,” the Sun quoted a family lawyer as saying.

“It`s her way of saying, ``I am not allowing you to divorce me - instead I am going to divorce you.``

"It`s just a way of sticking your fingers up at your ex through legal process. It`s about emotion - nothing else," the lawyer added.

A pal of Peter said: "Peter isn`t really asking for any money or property from Katie, but there are a few pieces of furniture that he wants back. What he wants most is his gym equipment.

"The financial agreement is almost there, but they`ve still got to thrash out custody issues."

Uber-cool Salman wins hearts as he chucks starry airs

Call him a bad boy for his weird antics and volatile rage but Salman Khan can be a real gentleman when he wants to be. The actor, who is otherwise infamous for making producers pay through their nose, left filmmaker Vipul Shah of ‘London Dreams’ pleasantly surprised after he went out of his way to assist the crew of the film.

It so happened that while shooting certain sequences of ‘London Dreams’ in Punjab, the unit members realised that Sallu’s costumes had not arrived. The star was ready to go for his scene but the crewmembers were much too scared to inform him about the incident. But to their surprise when Sallu was told about the gross negligence he was anything but angry.

To everyone’s surprise, Sallu offered to get the costume for his scene. He had to be dressed as a bandmaster for the scene and he went on a look out for the outfit in Punjab.

Confirming the news a source said, “When the production team told him about the problem and he stepped forward to bail them out. He asked the production team to get him addresses of traditional Indian bands located nearby. After he got the list, he arranged for cars to head to those places. Everybody was wondering what he was up to. Salman visited the band offices and took them by surprise when he told them that he wanted to borrow one uniform from them. He gave them his measurements”.

What’s more is that the locals were more than willing to help him out. After a frantic search, Salman got his size and hurried back to the sets. The filmmakers were relieved that they could resume shooting and it was all thanks to the uber-cool Salman.
