00:00In tabloid land this week, we found out Psy is coming, and then he wasn't, and chatted

00:10to OneRepublicanDeepPurple, and we got ready for a little event called the Oscars.

00:15This is your weekly wrap for tabloid.

00:17Hearing that Psy, he of gangnam style, is coming to Dubai was a big deal.

00:21Then hearing he may not be coming was a big let down, or for 54% of the nearly 3,000 people

00:26polled on golfnews.com, a big relief.

00:29The South Korean was a big name at the new MyMusicX festival due to take place next month,

00:33but on Wednesday he tweeted,

00:35To fans in Dubai, there is some wrong information being reported.

00:38I will not be in Dubai March 28th, but look forward to coming soon!

00:43At the time of filming, the organisers told us they were looking into the matter.

00:46At least some of the stars who had made a date for Dubai followed through, with OneRepublic

00:50delivering a fantastic opening for the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival.

00:54I love jazz.

00:56I love jazz.

00:57I've gone to jazz concerts and jazz shows almost my whole life.

01:01Playing jazz for a living would be a dream job.

01:04If I didn't have the job that I have, then I would be very happy, because it would mean

01:08I'd be a lot better at piano or whatever, and you're still getting to play music for

01:14a living, and it's a lot of fun.

01:16Performing this weekend are The Script and Deep Purple, who told us they won't be playing

01:20any new music on Thursday because they don't want rubbish videos of it going up on YouTube.

01:24It's the 21st century guys, deal with it.

01:26Within five minutes, the whole world will have some tinny, horrible, emaciated version

01:32of it, and it'll be a complete waste of time.

01:35Fans of the 90s British movement Britpop will head to Media City to see the newly reformed

01:40Stone Roses.

01:41Snoop Dogg, or Lion as he likes to be called nowadays, is having a love affair with a gulf.

01:46After wearing a kandoura on stage during his New Year's Eve concert here, he decided to

01:50team up with Saudi designer Hatem Al Akil and wear one in his latest video, although

01:54his accessories we're not too sure of.

01:57Also happening in Dubai this weekend, and the next, are the Dubai Tennis Championships.

02:01We met up with a few of the women's stars before the tournament, including Serena Williams

02:04who went buyer shopping, and Victoria Azarenka who took a tour of the Dubai airport's new

02:08Concourse 3.

02:10And we assure you, our reporters are very nice and had nothing to do with those two

02:13stars pulling out of the tournament later.

02:16We also spent time with the lovely Anna Ivanovic, who had an afternoon learning about modern

02:20Middle Eastern art.

02:22Biba fans in the region can rejoice as the teen star, newly single remember, has added

02:27an extra date to his time here.

02:29He's now due to play Muska Oman on May 6th as part of his Believe Tour.

02:33He performs in Dubai May 4th.

02:35In international celebrity news, Fergie is finally pregnant, after what feels like years

02:39of rumours every time she ate a Big Mac.

02:41Congrats to her and baby daddy Josh Duhamel.

02:44And Rihanna has turned to designing clothes and makeup.

02:47She launched her well-received collection for British high street chain River Island

02:50at London Fashion Week.

02:52It will be in stores in the UAE on March 5th.

02:54And on Wednesday, announced a partnership with Canadian makeup brand MAC.

02:58Well, we all know they make great concealers and Rihanna's clearly a person who knows

03:01all about that.

03:02Of course, there's really only one event we should be talking about this weekend,

03:06the Oscars.

03:07Hollywood's biggest night takes place on Sunday in Los Angeles, which means for us

03:11a very early morning.

03:13Join me and the team from 2am Monday morning as we live vlog the red carpet and the show.

03:18Deliveries of coffee and donuts will be welcomed.

03:21Ahead of the awards, the buzz is high for Daniel Day-Lewis to win the Best Actor award,

03:25although Lincoln, in which he stars, has lost some momentum heading into the final stretch,

03:29with Argo looking likely to take the Best Picture prize.

03:32Best Actress is a race between Jessica Chastain, a supporting actress Oscar winner last year,

03:37and Jennifer Lawrence, a Best Actress nominee two years ago.

03:40Let's not forget the other nominees in that category, which includes a nine-year-old,

03:44say it with me, Quevenzaneh Wallace, and an 85-year-old, Emmanuel Riva, the oldest and

03:50youngest nominees in that category ever.

03:52It's going to be interesting, and not just because we were hoping for some actual laughs

03:55this time, courtesy of host Seth MacFarlane.

03:58Now over to Manju for this week's Bollywood news.

04:02In the world of Bollywood, guess who's making a cameo in Vidya Balan's next Kanchakkar?

04:06Beefcake Sanjay Dutt, that's who.

04:09Balan couldn't keep her excitement in check as she described Dutt as the first superstar

04:13that she ever met.

04:14We have worked together in Parinita and I still remember when we were doing the first

04:18scene.

04:19I was very nervous when I had to do the shot with Sanjay, who's so tall and well-built.

04:23But he has a kindest and most gentle face.

04:26He was so helpful and I'll never forget that.

04:28For me, the first superstar will always be Sanjay Dutt.

04:32Catch the comedy Kanchakkar in June.

04:34After playing a ruthless pimp in Agnipath, Rishi Kapoor is all set to play a deadly gangster.

04:39In director Nikhil Adwani's next, the legendary actor will take on the role of the notorious

04:43underworld king Dawood Ibrahim.

04:45Ace choreographer Farah Khan has created some special moves as a part of a promotional campaign

04:50for the upcoming Indian Premier League.

04:53And she hopes her superstar friend and Kolkata Knight Riders team owner Shah Rukh Khan will

04:57dance to those steps in the stadium as his team hits a 6 out of 4.

05:01For those wondering, the song is called Dil Jumping Japak.

05:05Close your home, gear up for some fun cricketing action at the Dubai International Stadium

05:09on Saturday as Celebrity Cricket League players fight it out in Season 3.

05:18seen cheering from the sidelines.

05:41Set in the early 2000s in Trouble, Gujarat, the film which opened to great reviews is

05:46gritty, real and not synthetic.

05:52love with a mortal.
