00:00Gwyneth Paltrow pandemonium at Dubai Mall, screen legend Ben Kingsley and a Prada suit,
00:11a slightly nostalgic Salman Khan and his buddy Aamir, Macy Gray gets even weirder and why
00:16Lindsay Lohan has made her mark on this year's Dubai International Film Festival. This is
00:21your weekly wrap with Tabloid.
00:23The last time Tabloid spoke to Macy Gray aka Scooby Doo, which was what she asked to be
00:28called that day, the I Try singer insisted on a 15 minute chat about the world's roller
00:33coasters. This year ahead of her show at Dubai's Irish Village, things didn't improve much.
00:38In the space of about 5 minutes we managed to cover her not very good acceptance speech
00:42at the Grammy Awards, the people she hacked off at the Grammy Awards and the disappointment
00:46of not getting a love scene with either Matthew McConaughey or Zac Efron in her latest movie
00:51The Paperboy.
00:52Ben Kingsley, that's Sir Ben Kingsley to us, sorry Ben, wasn't in town for the Dubai Film
00:57Fest as you might expect but instead for a snooty dinner, SBK was happy to be in the
01:02sun rather than the Oxford should snow and spilled the beans on his latest role in Iron
01:06Man 3 alongside Robert Downey Jr.
01:09They allow me to play such amazing games in front of the camera. I can't give too much
01:13away but I was allowed to go crazy with Robert Downey Jr. You can go crazy knowing that it's
01:19not going to be exploited. It's all going to go towards telling a wonderful story to
01:24throw an audience.
01:25Meanwhile, as Kingsley talked at length about his powder blue Prada suit, Gwyneth stood
01:29on stage and promoted a Hugo Boss perfume. Oh, and managed a few autographs. It's a tough
01:35life being a resident of Tinseltown, hey?
01:37In other news, Katy Perry, Usher and Chris Brown are all packed and ready to perform
01:42at the World Parachuting Champs in the coming days with Perry having packed a few little
01:46numbers designed by Dubai's very own Fern O'Neil who also revealed this week that he's
01:50designing for Heidi Klum in town to film Germany's next top model.
01:55Cate Blanchett, Colin Firth, Cuba Gooding Jr, Kevin Spacey, Rooney Mara and others arrive
02:00over the weekend for the 9th edition of the star-studded Dubai International Film Festival.
02:06Chairman Abdul Hamid Jumma even caught up with the very together Lindsay Lohan while
02:11on his travels who said the 26-year-old has plans to head to Dubai when she has a break
02:16from filming, adding, she really had a positive effect on me. The pending assault charges
02:21against her aside, obviously.
02:23There's plenty of music and films to relax with this weekend. In Abu Dhabi, electronic
02:28dance music is celebrated at Creamfields with David Guetta and Armin van Buuren headlining
02:32on Friday. While in Dubai, there's the jazzy sounds of Al Jarreau at Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
02:37Over to Manjusha for the latest in Bollywood.
02:41After seven years, actor Salman Khan made his stage comeback last Sunday with his dance
02:46song spectacle Ahlan Bollywood at Dubai Festival City. The Dabangg star's return was triumphant
02:51as he performed on stage for a good 50 minutes in a three-hour-plus show. His well-rehearsed
02:56dance moves were a welcome antidote to what we witnessed at the press conference the day
03:00before. To put it mildly, Khan was in a funny mood and a technical glitch where he couldn't
03:05hear any of our questions from the press pack didn't help either.
03:11Who said two Khans can't be friends? On the set of Dabangg 2, Amir, who's riding high
03:23after the success of his thriller Talash, paid his friend Salman a visit. Insiders claim
03:28the two were in a nostalgic mood as they spoke about their joint film Andaz Apna Apna Days.
03:34India's biggest Hollywood expert, Frida Pinto, will be on jury duty at the Dubai International
03:39Film Festival this week. The Trishna star will evaluate the short film competition
03:43in the Moher Arab, the Moher Asia Africa and the Moher Emirati categories. She'll be joined
03:49by Emirati filmmaker Naila Al-Khaja and film critic Mark Adams.
03:53Gear up for a concert featuring the old and new singers. Talents including Asha Bonsley,
03:58Atif Aslam, Himesh Reshamia, Abida Parveen and Gulam Ali will be in Dubai for the grand
04:03finale of Indo-Pak singing contest Surkshetra on December 20 at Dubai World Trade Center.
04:09At the movies, there's Keira Knightley's unique take on period drama in Anna Karenina, Brad
04:13Pitt plays a mobster in Killing Them Softly and Akshay Kumar returns to the franchise
04:18which has served him so well in Killadi 786.
04:22And that's your weekly wrap.
