You should not comment on people you don't know: Lindsay Lohan

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has hit back at American actress Rosie O' Donnell's claims of her being incapable of playing the screen icon Elizabeth Taylor. 

O'Donnell had earlier said that Lohan, who will revive the late actress in the TV movie "Liz and Dick", is not in the right frame of mind to work, reported Contactmusic.

 However, Lohan, 25, feels the chat show host does not know her well enough to make such a statement. "It's funny that someone you don't know at all can say something so intrusive and so knowing. You know, I did one of my first interviews with her when I was little.

I was so excited," she said. The "Freaky Friday" actress was officially signed on to play the role of the Hollywood legend and said she would prove her critics wrong and fully commit to the project. "I know that I'm great.

I know Liz Taylor really well. I'm really lucky to be able to do this role and I just want to honour her the way that she should be honoured, because she's helped a lot of people in her life. I'm going to do the best that I can do with the role and I'm very excited to do it," said Lohan.

Movie Review : Tezz

Movie Review : Tezz

(U/A; Action thriller)

Dir: Priyadarshan

Cast: Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Sameera Reddy, Kangna Ranaut, Zayed Khan

For a thriller that created more buzz for an item number than for its action, you know what to expect. And you don’t even have to wait too long…. barely a few minutes into the film and Mallika Sherawat pops up to do her Laila act. Over and done with the song, as you wait for the action to unfold, there’s another coming along… Ajay Devgn and Kangna Ranaut break into a romantic number. Never mind that there’s a bomb ticking away on a train, lives of 500 passengers are at stake and time is fast running out.

In a bid to infuse the melodrama bits into Tezz, scant attention has been paid to the plot that keeps going off the track. What’s most vital in a thriller is the frenetic pace with which things have to move. There has to be that visible sense of urgency. But this is missing, as an assortment of characters get tossed around doing their own bits. And most importantly there is no one keeping tabs on the time elapsed, these guys seem to be in no tearing hurry.

The plot revolves around Akash (Devgn) who is an engineer but an illegal immigrant in London. Finding himself on the wrong side of the law, he is taken to task. But he decides to take revenge along with his accomplices Adil (Zayed Khan) and Megha (Sameera Reddy) by planting a bomb on a train. He is not a terrorist but is simply a victim of circumstances. Now how many illegal immigrants get caught and go around planting bombs to seek revenge? The premise itself is far from intriguing. Akash also wants to make some cool millions by asking for a ransom to live happily ever after with wife Nikita (Kangna Ranaut).

South star Mohan Lal may be the director’s buddy but looks out of place as a cop. There is also Boman Irani as the railway traffic in-charge and Anil Kapoor as the counter terrorism chief who is pulled back into the job moments after his retirement speech and exclaims, “Woh English filmein bahut dekhta hoga” when the perpetrator leaves him befuddled. Just in case if you thought that the makers weren’t!

What catches your attention are the sequences featuring Sameera in a raft and later speeding on a bike (yup… you read it right it is Sam, no less) with the cops tailing her. And then Zayed resorts to some parkour stunts with Anil trying to keep pace with him. These two moments apart, what you also remember are the deeply-stained teeth of Devgn and the different shades of orange that Kangna’s hairdo has.

Eva Mendes glows with meat-free diet

Actress Eva Mendes says the secret to her flawless skin is her meat-free diet. She only eats fish to keep her skin healthy.

She also drinks three litres of water a day to stay hydrated. "I eat a lot of fish. I haven't eaten any meat at all for several years now and I've noticed that my skin looks a lot better and much healthier," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

But she has other beauty mantras too. "I believe beauty starts from within, so I exercise, eat well and drink three litres of water a day. It all begins with hydration," she added.

The 38-year-old even limits the amount of time she spends in the shower to conserve water. "Taking a five-minute shower always helps the environment. Plus it's a great way to make sure I'm out of the house sooner therefore always running on time," she said.

'The Avengers' is incredibly smart

Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson 

Director: Joss Whedon 

Comic book fans who've kept their eyes peeled to the Internet for every scrap of news since the film was first announced, will be delighted to know that The Avengers more than lives up to their tall expectations. The truth, in fact, is that even if you're unfamiliar with the Marvel universe and the back-story of these superheroes, you're still likely to find yourself cheering for the sheer spectacle that's up on screen. 

After successfully introducing movie-goers to Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor in previous films, the decision to get all these big guns firing as one was brave to say the least…given that each of them inhabits a different space, and comes with his own set of quirks and characteristics. But writer-director Joss Whedon, a lifelong Marvel fan, recognizes that challenge clearly, and uses exactly that to form the basis of his story – in order to come together to fight a common enemy, these superheroes must first sort out their own egos and differences. 

That enemy, by the way, is Loki, the Asgardian demi-god who you might remember, was banished from the heavens at the end of Thor for his propensity to create inter-galactic mischief. The Avengers opens with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) stealing the Tesseract, a powerful energy source, with which he intends to open a portal to space to summon an alien army to help him enslave all mankind. 

In response, Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), director of international peacekeeping agency SHIELD, gathers his best men: billionaire industrialist Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), supersoldier Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris Evans), god of thunder and Loki's brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth), ace scientist and Hulk alter-ego Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), along with slinky Russian spy Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and expert marksman Clint Barton aka Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Together they must work as a team to thwart Loki's world-ending scheme…but there's that small matter of fighting amongst each other to resolve first. 

Director Joss Whedon maintains a cracking pace, switching deftly between spectacular action sequences, and witty interaction scenes between the characters. Expectedly, Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man gets the best lines here, especially his clever putdowns to the others – to the red-caped Thor he asks, "Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?", while to Banner he says: "I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster." 

It's particularly remarkable how Whedon ensures that the story remains rooted in the characters, without ever compromising on the punch-ups and the adrenaline-pumping set-pieces. The film's third act for one, a thrilling alien-bashing finale on the streets of Manhattan, is pure fanboy wet-dream. 

The performances are top-notch across the board, particularly from Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk far more sympathetically than in the two previous films that starred Eric Bana and Edward Norton as the angry green fellow. Ruffalo nails the almost precarious relationship between Dr Banner and his alter ego, and delivers plenty spontaneous laughs. 

In the end, The Avengers isn't just an ultimate spectacle, but also incredibly smart and surprisingly humorous. I'm going with four out of five for The Avengers. It raises the stakes for comic-book movies hereon… Batman and Spider-man, are you listening? 

Rating: 4 / 5
