Kristen Bell: Parents Can Push Your Buttons

With 'A Bad Moms Christmas' releasing in India on November 10, 2017, weve heard that fun and manic has doubled, thanks to the moms' moms. Them being an integral part of this movie, the filmmakers talked a lot with Mila, Kathryn and Kristen about casting their moms because they wanted their moms to share the same prototypes as them.

Kristen Bell enjoyed the process, "By introducing our mothers, you see why we are who we are and I think your parents can push your buttons".

Suzanne Todd, the producer, claims that they hit the casting lottery. "The nice thing for us is we had so many great actresses that wanted to be involved with A Bad Moms Christmas, as they had seen Bad Moms and loved the message. We felt like we had a wealth to pick from"

Singer Justin Bieber's mother to accompany him to India for Mumbai concert

In 2015, Justin Bieber had termed his relationship with his mother, Canadian author and film producer Patricia Mallette, as 'non existent'. He blamed their rocky relationship on his headline-making wild phase, which included an arrest. Last year, however, the 22-year-old pop star appeared to have made up with Pattie, who raised him single-handedly, with a Mother's Day wish.

Now, we hear, the Sorry hitmaker is bringing his mother to India to witness his Mumbai concert on May 10. Bieber's India jaunt is in support of his fourth album, Purpose.

"Pattie is also part of the touring entourage and the organisers (White Fox India) are curating a bespoke experience for the entire crew as soon as they set foot in India. Like him, she too is intrigued by Indian culture and traditions. There will be two different teams attending to individual requirements of the mother-son duo," says a source. Apart from making her stay comfortable, the organisers have proposed a tete-a-tete between Patricia and Twinkle Khanna, adds the source.

Pattie has authored inspirational books, one of which was a bestselling memoir titled Nowhere But Up (2012). Reportedly, her childhood was marred by sexual abuse and violence, starting as early as age three. She left home as a 16-year-old and gave birth to her superstar son a year later followed by a split with husband Jeremy Bieber a few months after that. Bieber, however, remains close to his dad.

Before Scooter Braun started managing Bieber's work, Pattie was his manager. She too dabbled in music. Later, she exposed her son to piano and guitar lessons, posting videos of her son's performances on YouTube, which eventually led him to become famous.

Well placed sources inform mid-day that White Fox India is in talks with British singer-songwriter Zayn Malik to come over as one of the special guests.

Emma Watson says she was scared her "Beauty and The Beast" co-star Dan Stevens would break her foot while practising for the film's iconic waltz sequence.

The 26-year-old actress says she was "slightly terrified" an accident might take place during the rehearsals of the titular song, reported FemaleFirst.

"Dan was essentially wearing steel-capped stilts. I was slightly terrified my foot was going to get broken or we were going to end up in a heap on the floor. So it had an extra edge to it," says Watson.

But the actress says it was a great way to develop a good working relationship with the actor, who plays Beast in the Bill Condon movie.

"It was actually a really good pre-film bonding. We got to know each other and learned to trust each other. I would recommend all couples go and dance together, stamp on each other's toes, be completely off-beat. It's perfect," says the actress.

Brisbane: Grammy Award-winning singer Adele has confirmed she is married to fiance Simon Konecki.

Adele confirmed the news at a concert here over the weekend, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The couple has been together since 2011 and they have a four-year-old son named Angelo.

"I was trying to remember how it was I felt at the beginning of the relationship that inspired that record," Adele told the crowd while sharing the story behind her hit song "Someone like you".

She added: "Because as bad as a break-up can be and as bitter and horrible and messy as it can be, that feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth, and I am addicted to that feeling. Obviously, I can't go through with those feelings because I'm married now."

She offered no other details about her marriage, but she reportedly exchanged vows with Konecki in a low-key ceremony after Christmas in front of family and close friends at her Los Angeles mansion. She even called Konecki her "husband" at Grammys last month.
