BIGG BOSS 7 BREAKING: Ajay Devgn Threatens To Boycott Viacom18 If Tanisha Not Evicted

Bigg Boss 7 is getting uglier each passing day. Thursday, November 28, 2013‘s episode saw a peaceful day inside the house. Love was overflowing amongst the housemates, but outside the house shocking new developments have happened.

He is a superstar, a non-controversial public figure, a gentleman and a caring family man. Yes, we are talking about Ajay Devgn, who is doing everything possible to get his wife, Kajol‘s sisterTanisha out of Bigg Boss 7.

From the word go, Tanisha never got any support from her family. It was widely reported earlier that Kajol and Tanuja are upset with Tanisha for choosing to participate in the controversial reality show. Tanisha still went ahead with her decision. What came as a surprise was – in spite of their disapproval, Tanuja and Kajol chose to be part of the audiovisual shown on the grand opening ofBigg Boss 7.

Bigg Boss 7 took off, and all was well until first two weeks. Tanisha was seen as the most balanced housemate, but all that impression collapsed in week three. Tanisha went to become bad from good, and gradually tarnished her entire image of being that “sweet girl”.

From being caught smoking on camera, to being caught with Armaan Kohli in intimate positions various times, and lastly, as reported by businessofcinema.com, caught semi-naked or naked in an awkward situation on camera with Armaan, witnessed by various crew members – Tanisha has entirely shattered her image, and has heavily upset Kajol, Ajay Devgn and Tanuja.

Over the last several weeks, Tanisha’s family has tried everything to make sure she is evicted. They spoke to Salman Khan, also the producers, along with the channel, they did everything – but all in vain.

On Day 72, when the housemates were assigned the Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa task, Armaan was upset with Tanisha for reasons best known to him. He then very unceremoniously and callously pulled off the stool on which Tanisha was seated, leaving her off balance. Tanisha later on Day 73again went back to Armaan, put her hands on his neck and thighs. Photos of this incident, which was aired on national television spread all over the internet – forums, social media and even on mobile phones.

Sources close to Ajay Devgn informed us that Ajay was very furious when he got to know about this. Today (Thursday, November 28, 2013), Devgn has sternly told the broadcasters to evict Tanisha at any cost. Ajay went a step ahead and told them that if Viacom18 is looking for any kind of association with the Devgns in near future, they will have to make sure that Colors, their network channel, evicts Tanisha from Bigg Boss 7. Sources further said that Devgn is very serious this time, and if his request is not met up, he may just not work with Viacom18 anymore.

As we file this report, a high level meeting is under way at Viacom18 office. The creative team, the production team and all concerned people are part of this meeting, where they are discussing on how to handle this situation. The challenge is this week is a “no elimination” week. Voting lines have been shut. One of the many suggestions that came up during this discussion was that Bigg Boss himself can evict one contestant, under a valid reason.

The team has not yet reached to any definite conclusion, and anything may happen. All the drama will be unfolded only on Saturday, November 30, 2013.

But, all we can say for now is that Tanisha’s family is really stressed, upset and ashamed with what Tanisha has been doing in Bigg Boss 7. Will there be an end to their ordeal? The mystery will only be solved this weekend.

OMG! Justin Bieber Leaves His Mark!

Justin Bieber has left his mark on several walls around the world and was keen to prove just what an expert graffiti artist he really is during the latest stop of his Believe Tour. Justin was seen spray painting a PacMan ghost style pink cartoon complete with black teeth and a single black eye for his throw up on a wall in Brisbane, Australia.

This ugly looking design was completed in the early hours of Wednesday morning post his first Aussie gig. The star was spotted with his entourage, who were also spray painting, in an outdoor area of his hotel at a wall near a basketball court.

It is unknown whether the area was a designated graffiti zone or Justin and his gang were illegally vandalizing the property.

According to a report in the Brisbane Times back in April, new laws, which were set to be passed this year, ask for a maximum penalty of up to seven years jail for graffiti vandals, making the state’s punishment the toughest in Australia.

A couple of hours ahead of his spray painting expedition on Wednesday morning, Justin had performed his first Believe concert in Brisbane. He had reportedly arrived back at his hotel about twenty minutes earlier and immediately unpacked his spray paints.

Justin also painted a picture of his home country Canada’s flag, but chose to turn the iconic maple leaf into a marijuana plant. He then spray painted a cartoon image of his dead hamster, accompanied by the words ‘RIP Pac’.

In Bogota, artists are given free reign to paint wherever they like, except government buildings, but it is unclear why police officers accompanied Justin on his excursion.

But during the next stop on his graffiti tour, Bieber found himself on the wrong side of the law when he once again tried the act out in Brazil. The pop star was charged with illegally scrawling graffiti on the wall of a £23 million hotel in Rio de Janiero.

Graffiti is a considered a crime of vandalism in Brazil which carries a jail sentence of between three months to one year

The evolution of the Apple logo

The man behind the apple. PHOTO: AFP

The history of Apple logo is very unique. When Steve Jobs coined the name of his company, he was in talks with Steve Wozniak about the name.

When Jobs uttered the name ‘Apple’, Wozniak laughed and said,

‘It’s a computer company, not a fruit store.’

The Newton Crest logo (1976)

In 1976, Ronald Wayne, who is the third co-founder of the Apple Company, designed its first logo. It showed Sir Isaac Newton, sitting beneath the very tree from which an apple had fallen to his head and he revolutionised the laws of gravity.

If you look carefully, the phrase on the outside border reads,

‘Newton… A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought… alone’

The Rainbow logo (1976-1998)

After the Newton Crest, Jobs decided to explore something new, something different, for the logo. Hence, he hired Rob Janoff as the designer to come up with something modern. Little did he know that the logo he planned to design would become the most iconic logo in corporate history.

For years, there have been rumours that Apple’s iconic logo, a stylised apple which is bitten on one side, was inspired by the death of Alan Turning, the groundbreaking mathematician and computer scientist, who committed suicide by eating a cyanide-laced apple in 1954.

Rob Janoff laughed these rumours away by saying,

“What a wonderful urban legend.”

According to him, the bite on the Apple logo was to really let people know that it was an apple and not a cherry. The bite also played along with the computer buffs at that time because it had a similar sound off to the word ‘byte’, a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunication.

The story behind the ‘rainbow coloured’ Apple logo was that Jobs wanted everyone to ‘think different(ly)’,

“He wanted the green on the top because there was a leaf there”, explained Janoff.

Jean-Louis Gassee, who was a former Apple executive and founder of Be Operating System (BeOS), says that,

“One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colours of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn’t dream of a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope and anarchy.”

This logo was active for 22 years, from 1976 to 1998, after which it was shut down because during the 80s, Apple had become like the ship which was about to go under and sink into the sea’s inky abyss. The rainbow logo was proving to be too expensive, and so it had to be shut down.

The Monochrome logo (1998 – Present)

One of the main reasons for coming up with the monochrome logo was that the new Mac computers were being manufactured with metal casing instead of the plastic one and the sight of a rainbow logo on a metal computer did not fit well. These new logos were then embossed on the original Mac and the Mac Power Book G3 as well. This logo has been active since 1998 till present day.

Source: Wikipedia

Eventually, this logo had its repercussions. In 1967, The Beatles started a new multimedia company named Apple Corps Ltd. When Jobs began his company, in 1976, his choice of the same title and logo created conflict between the two companies.

This resulted in a series of lawsuits and tension between the two companies. The issues ended with a huge settling offer which Apple Inc. had to pay to Apple Corps Ltd in 2007.

So why keep ‘Apple’ as a name?

In a press conference in 1981, Jobs was asked why he named the company ‘Apple’.

To this he replied simply,

“I like apples and love to eat them. But the main idea behind the apple was to bring simplicity to the people, in the most sophisticated way and that was it, nothing else.”

His vision for the next generation computer was so far ahead that it was mind boggling for everyone. No one could think that far into the future, but he did, and hence his most quoted saying is also the most fitting one for his own life.

So, while we worship some of the technological advances gifted to us by Apple, we never really knew how it came to be what it is today. Just the journey transitional journey of the logo shows how Apple has kept evolving- to date. If this journey of bending over backwards to maintain customer satisfaction continues, we will be very happy clients indeed.

Messi is the best, but I'd vote for Ronaldo"

Despite his firm belief "Messi is the best", Jorge Valdano claimed he "would vote for Ronaldo" to win the Balon d'Or. "Messi hasn't been out this season", Real Madrid's former director general explained.

In a statement given to Argentine radio station 'La Red', the former player also gave his opinion regarding Bayern Munich's current coach, Pep Guardiola: "He's not intuitive, but he has a formula and he's capable of creating a method and taking it to the next level. He is the link in a long chain, but 20 years separate Cruyff and Guardiola."

"You should try and copy Barcelona, but you need 20 years to do it," he argued.

When quizzed about Messi, Valdano said this: "Injuries are never welcome but if we consider things in terms of the the World Cup, this one probably has been." Valdano went on to say that Messi "needed rest and wasn't going to get the chance in the run up to the World Cup," adding that the "break will help him reach the World Cup in tip top condition."

"Messi might lose the Balon d'Or, but he hasn't been in action since the end of last season. Ronaldo will take full advantage of the fact; he's a competitive guy, a perfectionist and very ambitious. It's great that Messi has been put to the test. Between the two of t

Ancelotti: "We're on a good run, I'm happy right now"

Carlo Ancelotti offered his analysis of the win against Galatasaray: "We played very well in the second half whilst a man short. We played with courage and character. Playing with ten is not easy and they all worked well. The match became more complicated following Sergio's red card and I expect to see him back for the round of 16".

The Italian coach highlighted the team's form: "We're on a good run, we are scoring lots of goals and playing well. We need to keep the momentum going. I'm happy right now".

Real Madrid showed their best football in the second half, despite playing with ten men. Ancelotti highlighted the reaction following the sending off: "We were not so good in the first half, we weren't quick enough. We had chances with Bale, but it was not easy to play because of the positioning of the wide defenders, who weren't very far forward. After the red card the match changed. The team reacted very well; the squad has a lot of quality". About Ronaldo's absence, he said: "It is quite different without Cristiano. His absence encourages others to do more".

Ancelotti had to replace Jesé when the team went a man down: "I'm a little sad because I needed to change Jesé, who is in a very good form, but I needed to put a defender on". The coach revealed what he said to Jesé and Ramos: "To Jesé I just said that I needed to do it because Ramos did not need to take that risk, he just had to get the other side of him. Just like when we conceded the goal, the danger was in behind".

The Italian praised the way that Casemiro played and spoke about the opportunities that he will have with Khedira out: "Casemiro did very well defensively. He played aggressively and recovered balls well. He did lose some balls trying long passes. He has the same chance as the others to play. Following Khedira's problem, Alonso and Illarra played very well the other day. Casemiro did well today and we're going to get Modric back. We do well without Khedira too".

Regarding Bale and his best position, Ancelotti was clear: "He is more dangerous and more comfortable on the right because when he comes inside he has the chance to shoot. In the second half he played more in the centre and he did very well". Finally, when asked which team he thought would finish second in the group, he said: "At this point I think Juventus have the best chance of finishing second".

Record-breaking Bayern can do double-treble and five things we learned from the Champions League this week

The groups, in places, are done and dusted as the big guns racked up big wins but some intriguing results elsewhere leave it all to play for

COMMENTBy Peter Staunton
The 'Group of Death' is still no closer to offering two sure candidates to qualify although Arsenal look a safe bet at this stage after beating Marseille again. Dortmund's win over Napoli means the Italians have to pull out all the stops against the Gunners on matchday six. 

Barcelona were chastened away at Ajax while Milan kept the pressure up by ending Celtic's hopes. Porto contrived to drop points to group whipping boys Austria Vienna and Atletico were also pegged back by Zenit. 

Chelsea's surrender at Basel keeps Murat Yakin's team in with a shout but Schalke, after drawing at Steaua Bucharest, will feel it was an opportunity missed. Meanwhile, there is no stopping Bayern Munich, who broke yet another record against CSKA Moscow before Manchester City eased onto 12 points with a victory against Viktoria Plzen. 

Juventus finally got going with a win against Copenhagen as Real Madrid's victory over Galatasaray went a long way towards helping the Old Lady to the last 16. 

Manchester United, thanks to a commanding win over Bayer Leverkusen, are safely there and Shakhtar Donetsk could yet join them after overcoming Real Sociedad. 

Late drama decided Group C on the night as Paris St-Germain snatched the three points against Olympiakos while Benfica did the same to Anderlecht. 

Here are this week's talking points:

In-demand Forster exposed on the big stage

Celtic, last summer, lost Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama - two of their most important players - to clubs in the English Premier League. They managed to hold on to highly-regarded goalkeeper Fraser Forster through one more transfer window at least, delivering a huge boost to their Champions League prospects in the process. 

While Forster has acquitted himself well enough between the sticks to merit an England cap, there is no doubt that his major flaws have been exposed this season. 

If his calamitous intervention for Aberdeen's goal at the weekend wasn't bad enough, he compounded that error with a poor display against Milan on Tuesday night which cost the Bhoys their last 16 chances. Forster is among the best shot-stoppers in the competition, no doubt about that, but his skills as a goalkeeper who commands his box are practically non-existent. 

His trepidation in coming for the corner which led to Kaka's opener was typical but it was initially obscured by Celtic's poor marking. Nonetheless, it was down to the goalkeeper to claim the ball. Forster's decision to stay rooted to his line for Mario Balotelli's goal was hardly confidence-inspiring either. 

Forster, and indeed Celtic, have a big-money Premier League move in mind but any interested parties watching closely in the Champions League campaign will now be well aware of his deficiencies. 

Meek Porto lacking Moutinho quality

It feels like every season we laud Porto for their ability to sell their best players yet retain their supremacy in Portugal and competitiveness in Europe. This campaign, though, has brought with it the realisation that the Portuguese champions have finally been caught short. 

Their Estadio do Dragao has witnessed the dullest, most insipid football from any home team in the Champions League with attendances dwindling throughout the group stage as Porto's chances of qualification regress. Just over 24,000 rattled around the cavernous arena on Tuesday as Paulo Fonseca's side meekly surrendered a lead to Austria Vienna before rescuing an undeserved point. They would rather have been anywhere else. 

It was, perhaps, the worst display of a very ordinary season. James Rodriguez and Joao Moutinho were the latest two to wave goodbye in exchange for enormous fees but there has been little spark in their absence. While Juan Quintero has flickered in place of his compatriot James, there simply has been no-one capable of replicating the play of Portugal international Moutinho. 

Without him, Porto truly are a mediocre outfit. Three home games have yielded one point with only Austria Vienna beaten on the road. While it is still mathematically possible that they could qualify for the knockouts, a visit to the Vicente Calderon against Atletico Madrid is the last fixture they would wish for. 

Record-breaking Bayern can do double-treble

Bayern went to CSKA Moscow, were scarcely troubled and came away with the three points. It was their 10th win in a row in the Champions League, breaking the record set by Barcelona in the 2002-03 season. 

Since the uncharacteristic slip-up at home to Arsenal in March, no team has bested Bayern and only three teams have even managed a goal. Credit, then, to CSKA and Manchester City for even managing that feat. 

Coach Pep Guardiola humbly parries the dues to Jupp Heynckes for Bayern's record run but there's no doubting now the Catalan's impact at what was already the world's most dominant football team. 

At the weekend they blew away their nearest domestic challengers, during the week they put 15 points on the board in the Champions League group stages. They've dealt with, and are currently still dealing with, injuries to major players, meaning competing teams cannot even count on that bit of luck on the day to go in their favour against Bayern. 

If anyone, in any competition, is going to beat them even in one match, then an awful lot will have to go wrong for Bayern. 

Simply, they are untouchable. A double-treble is not out of the question.

Isco shows why he's better for Madrid than Ozil

It was a good matchday for Arsenal as they put themselves three points clear in Group F thanks to a pair of goals from Jack Wilshere. On the night, however, one man in red again flattered to deceive. Mesut Ozil was beneath the standard expected of him as a player with a valuation of some €50 million despite one tidy assist. 

He took a tame penalty, easily saved by Steve Mandanda, and missed another great opportunity to add to his modest Gunners goal tally. 

The early-season excitement over the German has worn off and Arsenal fans are left with the reality of the player Real Madrid discarded. Tentative, occasionally indecisive, peripheral. 

Meanwhile, at the Bernabeu, the man charged with replacing Ozil had a stormer. Isco was immense as los Blancos eased past Galatasaray. He was on hand to provide chances for his team-mates at will and scored a clever clinching goal for his side late on. 

The Spain international has had his difficulties since his move from Malaga but Madrid were right to jettison Ozil to make way for him. Time will tell on Isco. He is a player of genuine quality and remains superior to the man who joined Arsenal - a club beneath Madrid's standing and ambition. 

Uefa gets the outcome it planned for

As things stand, six of the eight group leaders heading into the last round of fixtures were top seeds at the start of the Champions League draw. Atletico Madrid and Paris St-Germain are the exceptions but they are hardly surprise packages. Elsewhere, it was straightforward for the pot one teams. 

As you would expect. 

I pointed out ahead of the group stage draw that Uefa has constructed a mechanism which delivers, season after season, the traditional elite teams to the knockout rounds. The pot one clubs representing the national associations with multiple entrants avoid strong teams from their own domestic league meaning that their wheels are greased before a ball has been kicked. 

Moreover, the current coefficient system helps teams who were impressive in Europe up to five seasons prior. Hardly an indicator of current quality. 

No matter for Uefa and the traditional teams who command the biggest share of television revenue. The status quo has been upheld; more ranking points snaffled for next season and beyond. The closed shop continues.
