Lil Wayne And Christian Milian We're Not Breaking Up

Lil Wayne and Christina Milian have broken up, but not professionally.

The couple announced their split this week, using the standard “our-schedules-make-it-difficult” reason, but we’re told one thing is clear … she’s not leaving Young Money — because it benefits both of them.

Christina has an album due out later this year, and neither wants to derail it.

This wouldn’t be the first time Christina worked with an ex. After divorcing The Dream, she continued with him on her music career.

Man Pretending To Be Gully Bop's Manager Gets 18 Months In Prison!

Gully Bop

A man who scammed a Canadian stage show promoter out of $300,000 by pretending to be the road manager of dancehall artist Robert ‘Gully Bop’ Malcolm was sentenced to 18 months after making restitution.

Kimauly Bull, 38, a resident of Tiverton Road in Kingston, pleaded guilty to two counts of obtaining money by means of false pretence when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court in St Andrew, yesterday.

Reports are that Bull, purporting to be Gully Bop’s road manager, arranged with the complainant to have Gully Bop perform at shows in Canada in June.

The complainant sent CAD$1,240 and CAD $2,480, via Western Union, on March 17 and 18, respectively, as part payments for the artist to perform.

Efforts were subsequently made by the complainant to contact the accused, but to no avail.

The matter was then reported to the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency and Bull was arrested and charged.

Prior to sentencing, Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey told attorney Vincent Wellesley “the dimension of what his client has done is so vast. I believe five years in prison is enough.”

“I think he was just being a thief,” Pusey said.

“Although he made restitution, I should send a message to those who defy. Anybody have any dreams of doing it must remember Pusey,” she said.

Bull was subsequently sentenced to 18 months on both counts of obtaining money by means of false pretence to run concurrently.

What is 'Katti Batti' team hiding?

There's more to "Katti Batti" than romance and comedy, but it's all in hiding!

'Katti Batti' co-stars Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan

The Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan-starrer, releasing on Friday, has been widely promoted. But the makers as well as the actors have mentioned the fact that the film has more depth it than what meets the eye from the promos and the trailers.

But they are perhaps hiding it.

Kangana has, in fact, even stated how her character in the film is one of the toughest role that she has played -- leaving many to wonder what it is.

A spokesperson for the film confirmed that there is indeed something more to the film, and said: "Like everybody has been saying that 'Katti Batti' is more than just a rom-com, it’s for the audience to come and discover it themselves."

Ranveer Singh: I will wait all my life for Deepika Padukone

Pune: Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh says he is willing to wait for his rumoured girlfriend and 'Bajirao Mastani' co-star Deepika Padukone for a lifetime.

"She is so beautiful that I would wait all my life for her," Ranveer said at a promotional event of "Bajirao Mastani" yesterday in Pune where Deepika was also present.

When asked whether she too would be willing to wait for a lifetime for him, Deepika says, "What? You have to ask him in what context he said that. Wait at a restaurant... or..."

The 30-year-old actor said it was just a joke before adding, "It was one of those random, smart, wisecracks which I cracked by saying 'she is so beautiful that I will wait all my life for her'. You guys waited since morning for us. So if you ask me I would say she is so gorgeous that I would wait for her all my life."

To this, Deepika interrupted saying, "I don't understand English at this point."

Deepika, who has earlier worked with Ranveer in "Ram Leela" and will next be seen with him in "Bajirao Mastani", says that she has not seen any change in him as a person.

"As a person I think he is the same... same energy and same enthusiasm, same protectiveness and same warmth. As a person he has not changed," the 29-year-old actress said.

However, she feels that as an actor Ranveer has grown a lot. "As an actor he has grown tremendously after 'Band Baaja Baarat'. 'Ram Leela' was a defining point in his career. He can do a film like 'Band Baaja Baarat', 'Lootera', 'Ram Leela', 'Dil Dhadakane Do', he plays different kind of characters convincingly on screen," she said.
