The Vow : Can amnesia block
romance? Forget about it
A O SCOTT
NYT SYNDICATE
T the beginning of
The Vow – and again
at the end, in case
you had forgotten –
you are told that it
was “inspired by true events.”
There is always a lot of latitude
in such a claim, and no one
would accuse this mild, soggy
romance of excessive realism.
But a cautious desire to remain
somewhere in the neighborhood
of plausibility also robs the
movie, directed by Michael
Sucsy from a script with four
credited authors, of the opportunity to capitalise on the weirdness and extremity of its premise.
When we first meet them,
Paige and Leo – the dimply and
adorable Rachel McAdams and
the decisively chiseled Channing
Tatum – are an artsy young
married couple enjoying a
snowy evening in Chicago. Then
a car accident sends Paige
through the windshield and into
a coma, from which she emerges
even more adorable than ever
A
but also with amnesia. She does
not recognise Leo and cannot
remember anything of their four
years together, the highlights of
which (cute meeting at the
Department of Motor Vehicles;
hipster nuptials at the Art
Institute; discreet sexy snuggles
in their North Side loft) we have
already seen in flashbacks.
More unsettling is that Paige
seems to revert to an earlier
version of herself. When she
and Leo met, she was estranged
from her wealthy suburban
parents. She had dropped out
of law school to become a sculptor and dumped a skinny fiance
named
Jeremy
(Scott
Speedman). Now that old life
threatens to reclaim her. Mom
and Dad (Jessica Lange and
Sam Neill) are not crazy about
Leo, who runs a recording studio and spouts random bits of
rock ‘n’ roll trivia at the dinner
table, and Jeremy still carries a
torch. Paige, meanwhile, having lost her touch with clay,
lightens her hair and trades in
her bohemian garb for preppier
attire.
“She’s turned into this

with amnesia
sweater-set-wearing, mojitodrinking sorority girl,” Leo complains to a friend.
“Like a Stepford wife?”
“Yeah.”
But not really. The Vow leaves
the creepy implications of
Paige’s condition unexplored,
which is fine. But the movie’s
commitment to the blandest
possible presentation of its central problem starts to seem perverse after a while. This could
have been a rich, strange melodrama; a psychological thriller;
a horror movie; a dark comedy;
or any combination of these,
and scholarly viewers can
relieve the tedium by imagining
it remade by more daring filmmakers. Just think of what
Alfred Hitchcock or Pedro
Almodovar or Luis Bunuel or
John Waters could have done
with this material.
Never mind. The Vow is
designed for comfort, not shock.
But even by the standards of
commercial melodrama it’s a
pretty weak brew. McAdams
and Tatum have both done time
in the Nicholas Sparks school of
tragico-preposterous inspiration – she in The Notebook with
Ryan Gosling, he in Dear John
with Amanda Seyfried – and
they have the longing looks,
slow teardrops and lip trembles
down cold. When they are on
the screen together here, there
is enough physical charm and
emotional warmth to distract
Startalk
from the threadbare setting and
the paper-thin plot. But those
defects ultimately get in the way
of the stars and leave you wondering: Is this a romance about
neurological impairment or a
neurologically
impaired
romance?
The dialogue – in particular
Leo’s half-literate voice-over
narration – is atrocious. The secondary characters are less vivid
than the extras in an average
non-Super Bowl television commercial, with the notable exception of Lange, whose one longish
scene is the film’s only moment
of eccentric, unpredictable passion. Otherwise stuff just seems
to happen, and not much seems
to be at stake, which is odd given
that the movie’s ostensible subject is the complex interplay of
heart and brain.
The Vow ends up taking a proamnesia line, in two ways. First
by suggesting that memory loss
can be a great opportunity to
start fresh, re-examine options
and resolve long-standing
wardrobe issues, and also in its
exemplary commitment to its
own forgetability.
DiCaprio dislikes deodourants, avoids bathing
Nicki Minaj wants to have kids
LEONARDO DiCaprio reportedly refuses to use deodourants, while his girlfriend,
model Erin Heatherton, wants him to clean up and be hygiene-conscious. “Leo
has let his love for the environment take over his whole world and it’s killing his
love life, he only showers a couple of days a week to conserve water and he
considers deodourant to be unnatural,” showbizspy.com quoted a source as saying. “Erin loves him dearly but is starting to feel like Leo loves the environment
more than her. Erin has warned him to clean up his act and his hygiene. If not,
he may wind up chasing off the woman of his dreams,” added the source.
NICKI Minaj wants to have children within the next 10 years. The
singer is looking for the right man to settle down and start a family
with, and would like it to happen sooner rather than later. “In 2022, I’ll
definitely be married and I’ll definitely have my two children. I might
have three, but I do want at least one boy,” the 29-year-old said. Nicki
says she is keen to have a little boy because she has always been close
to her younger brother. “I’m so attached to my little brother and I felt
like that was my real son,” she added.

Destination review: Hong Kong
Travel
guide
HONG Kong, once a crown colony of the UK, offers a lot for tourists to see and do. The dual culture of this country with its Cantonese and British influence
makes it an unique experience. Ocean Park: One of Asia’s most popular theme parks, Ocean Park offers something for both kids and adults. Check out the
thrilling rollercoaster rides or be amazed with the exotic varieties of aquatic animals. The regular shows of the sea lions, dolphins and birds are a must see.
The highlight of a visit to the park is the cable car ride that links the lowland and headland offering an amazing view. Victoria Peak: The best way to check
out this scenic viewpoint is to take the Peak Tram that climbs 1,200 feet up to the highest point. Once up there, the view is simply breathtaking. Take a
look at the towering skyscrapers and the beautiful Hongkong skyline lit up at night. Disneyland: Whether you’re on holiday with a child or simply have a
love for all things to do with Disney, this amusement park is a must visit. A replica of the original one in the US, lose yourself in the legendary fairytale
kingdom. Relive your childhood fantasy! Stanley Market: If it’s bargain buys that you desire, than Stanley Market is for you. Get some amazing Chinese
replicas of your favourite designer goodies. From Fendi bags to rolex watches, they’re all available here at great prices. Giant Buddha: Get a slice of some
culture and visit Lantau island for the giant Buddha. The bronze statue is 34 metres high and took over 10 years to complete. There may be a long flight of
stairs going up to look at the statue, but it’s well worth it. One of the finest examples of Hong Kong’s rich culture.

Alpine interlude, just 80
minutes from Munich
RUSS JUSKALIAN
NYT SYNDICATE
HE absurd part wasn’t
sprinting, nearly naked,
through a frozen warren
of tunnels carved into the
dense snow on top of a
glacier. It was that I was
desperately trying to make it outside,
where the nighttime temperature was
minus five degrees Fahrenheit and
trillions of moonlit snowflakes were
swirling in the wind. By the second
step into this maelstrom on Zugspitze,
the highest peak in Germany, all feeling in my bare feet had vanished, but
salvation lay six metres ahead in the
billowing steam of an outdoor hot tub.
Just 80 minutes by train from
Munich, the German town of
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (population
26,000) is a wonderful spot to spend a
few days exploring the wintry beauty
of the Bavarian Alps. And with countless activities, and plenty of cute B&Bs
and traditional German gasthaeuser,
you need not spend the night, as I did,
more than 1,800 metres above the
town in an igloo.
Independent towns for centuries –
and still separated by a train station
and the Partnach river – Garmisch
and Partenkirchen were forcibly grafted together in 1935, under Hitler’s
orders, to host the next year’s Winter
Olympics. (Calling the town GaPa, or
GaP, is fine, but unless you’re prepared for a swift rejoinder, don’t
shorten it to Garmisch in front of an
older resident of Partenkirchen.)
The two sides of town have distinct
personalities, best sampled on foot.
Partenkirchen is the older of the two,
dating to AD 15, when it was a Roman
town called Partanum. Today, the village is centred on the quiet, cobblestoned Ludwigstrasse, said to trace a
branch of the ancient Via Claudia
Augusta between Venice and
Augsburg. The narrow street is lined
with historic buildings in the Bavarian
gasthaus style: three or four floors,
swept open wooden shutters, and
street-facing facades painted in pastel-hued imagery of religious, pastoral
and regional scenes.
In the morning, you’ll see older residents in earth-tone country wear
walking their dogs, and younger
tourists, head-to-toe in fluorescent ski
clothes, looking for the bus stop to the
mountain. If you wander off
Ludwigstrasse – down streets like
Sonnenbergstrasse and Faukenstrasse
– you’ll find splendid examples of
regional country homes, with overhanging roofs and heavy, woodenbeam construction. In your imagination – and probably in a few of the
homes – there may be an alphorn or
two, and a yodeller.
The Garmisch district is livelier and
more apres-ski oriented. At its centre
is a pedestrian lane, Am Kurpark,
running between the squares of
Richard
Strauss
Platz
and
Marienplatz. Here, international
brands bump up against quirky bars,
restaurants serving everything and
historic buildings like the 16th-century Zum Polz’n Kaspar House, a former
private residence now maintained by
the city. When Partenkirchen is headed to bed, the party in Garmisch is
just getting started at Pub 33, Peaches
or one of the temporary stands.
The big draw to GaPa is everything
you can do outside. The chairlifts are
a short walk, or a five-minute bus or
train ride, from any part of town. For
downhill skiers, the Garmisch-Classic
area has trails best suited for begin-

ners and intermediates. But when the
infamous Kandahar run isn’t closed
for a major race, experts can pause for
incredible views before charging the
black trail nearly 915 vertical metres
to the valley.
The nearby Zugspitze area offers the
otherworldly experience of skiing on a
glacial plateau, situated in the upper
cirque of Germany’s tallest massif,

nearly 2,750 metres above sea level.
The view from the piste is hills of snow
devoid of trees, encircled by a razor’sedge crown of near-vertical, rocky
peaks – all of it, on many days, poking
above the clouds. If you have the
equipment and experience to venture
safely off-piste, there are lift-served
open bowls and powder to play in.
For everyone else, GaPa has endless
territory to explore on foot, snowshoe
or cross-country skis, whether
through alpine or conifer forests or
across the snow-blanketed meadows
leading to the villages of Grainau and
Eibsee.
The brave should look into a local
sledding run, or rodelbahn. A typical
route can be five kilometres long and
descend 460 metres on a twisting, tree-
lined trail. Local ski shops will rent
sturdy runner sleds to anyone. But it’s
probably worth making sure your travel – and injury – insurance is up to
date. Most crashes are harmless, but
minor fractures are common enough.
One thing nobody should skip is a
hike through the Partnachklamm, or
Partnach Gorge. The trail winds along
the floor of a narrow, river-carved valley – only metres wide in places. Huge
icicles and ice flows line the walls in
winter, some cascading over 30
metres from the top of the limestone
walls to the river below. If it reminds
you of a scene from The Neverending
Story, that’s because the story’s
author, Michael Ende, grew up here.
Food and night life in GaPa are dominated by Bavarian fare and bars. The
Fraundorfer
Gasthaus
in
Partenkirchen, which also rents out
rooms, is a quirky mix of history and
kitsch. The ground floor is a restaurant, with long communal tables and
with walls crowded with photos,
antlers and fasnacht masks. Over a
dinner of Schweinshaxe on a recent
night, families chatted in a variety of
languages, an accordion player quietly
yodelled and a dozen men, in or
around their ninth decade, sat at their
stammtisch, or regular’s table, in lederhosen, knee-length socks and fedoras.
Other places to eat Bavarian food
include Zum Wildschuetz, which
stands out for its take on Bavarian
game meats like oxen and deer.
Towering above everything is the
jagged peak of Zugspitze, topping out
at 2,962 metres. There are two ways
up from GaPa: a cogwheel train,
which passes through a 5-kilometre
tunnel up the mountain, or an aerial
tramway from Eibsee, which ascends
nearly 1,950 metres in 10 minutes,
making it the world’s tallest singlesection lift of its kind. The 39-euro fee
for the ride up includes access to the
Zugspitze ski lifts, so you might as
well hit the glacier’s slopes while
you’re there.

RK Narayan's Guide comes to Indian stage in theatrical avatar
Books
guide
FORTY-FOUR years after RK Narayan's literary milestone, Guide, the love story of tour guide Raju and dancer Rosy, was made into a Broadway musical with a score
set by maestro Ravi Shankar, the novel will be brought to the Indian stage in an adaptation by Amitabh Shrivastava.The novel breaks conventions by probing extramarital romance as its theme, director of the play Sanjoy K Roy said. In 1968, the Guide was adapted into a Broadway play by Harvey Breit and Patricia Rinehart
and was staged at Hudson Theatre. The play starred Zia Mohyeddin, a Pakistani actor, in the lead as Raju. The novel, set in Narayan's fictional town Malgudi, fetched
the writer a Sahitya Akademi award in 1960. It was made also into a hit movie in 1965 starring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman. The Indian adaptation, a tribute to Narayan, will commemorate the movie by including four popular tracks from it with contemporary flavour. Composer Anil Shrinivasan, a Chennai-based pianist,
is setting the music for the play. "The play is a dramatised version of the book. The movie was a rather romanticised version. We will recreate the authenticity of the
what RK Narayan wrote. We will try to bring out what actually happened between Raju and Rosy and the relationship between man and his ego," Roy said.
Shrivastava and the team had started work on the play two-and-a-half years ago after acquiring the rights to dramatise the play from Narayan's family foundation.
"It was beautiful revisiting the book. He is one of the greatest writers and his story-telling is so simple," Roy said. "I am using four popular tracks from the movie
with a contemporary flavour," Anil Shrinivasan said. "The tunes remain the same because we have grown up with the songs," the composer said. The play, produced Ritu Saigal of the Deva Fine Arts Society and Teamworks Production, will be presented by Jaypee Greens. It will be choreographed by Gilles Chuyen.
A SCENE FROM GUIDE.
Animals as muses, symbols & moral teachers
EDWARD ROTHSTEIN
NYT SYNDICATE
HEN Odysseus, disguised as a beggar,
returned home after 20
years of war and wandering, his aged dog,
Argos, knew him instantly.
“Infested with ticks, half dead with
neglect” and lacking the strength even to
drag himself toward his master, Argos
thumped his tail, nuzzled low and
dropped his ears in grateful recognition.
Then the “dark shadow of death closed
down on Argos’ eyes.”
That is one of the encounters evoked at
an enchanting exhibition at the Morgan
Library & Museum that opened recently.
It was also one of the examples that an
assistant curator at the Morgan, Clara
Drummond, said inspired her to comb
through the Morgan’s collection for other
moments of recognition and interaction
between animals and humans.
The show she created, “In the
Company of Animals: Art, Literature,
and Music at the Morgan,” is so literate
and gracious that you don’t immediately
realise just how startling its objects are
and how haunting its theme is. And its
range really is as wide as the Morgan’s
collection, examining how artists, writers
and composers “used animals to think
and create.”
Here are drawings by Rubens and
Delacroix; a watercolour of the famous
19th-century giraffe, Zarafa (who walked
550 miles, from Marseille to Paris); a
Peanuts cartoon strip by Charles M
Schulz; a 19th-century children’s board
game; a Mesopotamian cylindrical seal
from the fourth millennium BC; scores
by Haydn and Debussy; and a 15th-century image of the zodiac. And although
the exhibition is roughly divided into categories – animals as muses, symbols,
companions, talking creatures and moral
teachers – notice is served from the start
by a quote from Jorge Luis Borges: There
is “no classification of the Universe that
is not arbitrary and full of conjectures.”
So, here too, all categories, we are
assured, are “fluid.”
That particularly applies to the human
and the animal. We cannot help seeing
one as a reflection of the other. A female
elephant named Hansken that had been
taken to Amsterdam in 1637 was probably the one sketched here by Rembrandt,
whose black chalk image rippled folds of
flesh over the exotic creature. But the
alert expression of the elephant’s eyes, as
if startled by some sudden thought, could
also have come from one of Rembrandt’s
portraits; the elephant has glints of the
human about her. Hansken, we read,
may have even had some experience in
impersonation: She was trained to dance
in circles, fence with a sword and put on
a hat and take it off.
Another kind of human sentiment –
tender, melancholic, vulnerable – can be
found in the eyes of a young rabbit in one
of John James Audubon’s studies here.
On the drawing’s verso, we are told,
Audubon wrote that he created the work
“during one of the days of deepest sorrow
I have felt in my life.” That morning, his
daughter-in-law Eliza had died.
W
Maria Sibylla Merian’s ‘Black Tegu Lizard’.
Nicolas Huet’s study of a giraffe, Zarafa.
This projection of the human into the
animal – or is it more a discovery? –
becomes more apparent in talking animals who are, as the text points outs,
“creatures in the original sense of the
word, marvellous creations of the human
imagination.” This includes Nick Bottom
from A Midsummer Night’s Dream,who
was magically given a donkey’s head; he
is shown here in a charcoal image by
Odilon Redon.
In the case of Babar (the subject of a
previous Morgan exhibition) or Winniethe-Pooh, the combination of human
character and animal body evokes the
state of childhood, where aspects of both
worlds merge with bewildering, shapeshifting ease. There is a charming drawing here by EH Shepard, the English
illustrator of Winnie-the-Pooh and Wind
in the Willows, sent in tribute to the US
actress Ruth Draper after a 1949 performance. Pooh leads his fellow creatures (including Eeyore, Toad and
Badger) to the actress’ door with a declaration of admirashun. Could such a delegation’s sincerity ever be in doubt?
‘In the Company of
Animals: Art, Literature, and
Music at the Morgan,’ is so literate
and gracious that you don’t immediately
realise just how startling its objects are and
how haunting its theme is. Its range really
is as wide as the Morgan’s collection,
examining how artists, writers and
composers “used animals to
think and create”
Sometimes, in such images, we
read innocence into the animal world,
almost as if we were glimpsing creatures
cavorting in Eden before the Fall. Except
that these simulacra of animal-like childhood also show just how far from paradise we really are. Schulz’s Snoopy may
be a dog, but he is often the most knowing of the comic strip’s characters and is
seen here on his doghouse roof with a
typewriter, working on his novel. (Each
draft begins with the words, “It was a
dark and stormy night ...” which, we are
informed, were taken from Edward
Bulwer-Lytton’s 1830 novel Paul
Clifford.)
The show will not permit us simply to
embrace a Romantic, pastoral landscape
full of peaceful creatures far more natural than venal humanity. That fantasy is
now generally left for the terrain of
human infants, whose cribs are lined
with stuffed animals. More often, here,
we find the opposite. Animals are partly
seen as human because they reflect us at
our worst.
We even glimpse the moment of trans-
formation
from innocent into more
fearsome animal life in Duerer’s famous
1504 engraving Adam and Eve. Just as
Eve is accepting the forbidden fruit from
the serpent, in the distance an ibex
stands perched on another kind of
precipice. And at Eve’s feet are animals
representing humours and temperaments, now doomed to be forever off kilter: the elk (melancholic gloom); the rabbit (sanguine sensuality); the cat (choleric cruelty); and the ox (phlegmatic sluggishness).
A similar allegorical spirit is evident in
a 19th-century playing board called
British and Foreign Animals: A New
Game, Moral, Instructive and Amusing.
It has no words, just pictures of animals
on which the player lands. The board
declares it is “designed to allure the
minds of youth to an acquaintance with
the wonders of nature.”
But such wonders are clearly representations of the human. The game board
View of the new exhibit, ‘In The Company of Animals: Art, Literature,
and Music at the Morgan.’
Eugene Delacroix’s ‘Royal Tiger’.
begins with the lowly jackal and ends
with the regal lion: an evolutionary
progress of sorts. Land on the horse and
you get to “spin again, for a ride on one of
these noble animals.” Land on the jackal
and you face disgrace: Such creatures
“follow armies, in hopes of being furnished with a banquet by disease or battle.”
This is also the language of fables. “Sly
as a fox,” “gentle as a lamb,” “hungry like
a wolf,” the exhibition points out, are
phrases showing how often we “interpret
animal behaviour in human terms” and
“draw moral conclusions.” The earliestknown version of the life and fables of
Aesop is displayed here: a 10th or 11th
century manuscript from Italy.
Often, too, such fables are dark. We see
a first edition of Orwell’s Animal Farm
with the original subtitle, “A Fairy Story.”
Its portrait of what the author called “the
progress of the Russian Soviets and their
two dictators” would have been found
less offensive, he wrote, “if the predominant caste in the fable were not pigs.”
But animal archetypes are not arbitrary; fables can become ludicrous if they
mismatch temperament and creature. A
letter from Edgar Allan Poe that specified
revisions to his poem The Raven is
accompanied by a panel informing us
that initially, in thinking of an animal
“capable of speech” for his poem
Nevermore!, Poe considered using a parrot.
So animals as humans? Humans with
animal failings? Nature as brutish and as
pastoral? Aspects of all of these come
together in the peculiarly human preoccupation with pets, which probably
would not be as intense if it weren’t for
the mixture of fear and recognition, selfishness and devotion in the relationship.
In 1843 Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s
Dog Flush (to whom she wrote a nearlove poem) was abducted and held for
ransom. She writes of his return: “Oh,
and if you had seen him, when he came
home & threw himself into my arms ... in
that dumb inarticulate ecstasy which is
so affecting.” A cynic about such ecstasy
might respond with another example
here: the 18th-century British statesman
Horace Walpole, who, it is pointed out,
may have “felt more affection for his pets
than for many of his friends.”
His cat Selima, spotting a goldfish in a
Chinese porcelain tub, reached down to
catch it and drowned. Thomas Gray
wrote an elegiac tribute in a 1757 manuscript on display, “On the Death of a
Favourite Cat, Drown’d in a China-Tub
of Gold-Fishes.” Gray even provided a
moral:
Not all that tempts your wandering
eyes
And heedless hearts, is lawful prize;
Nor all that glisters gold.
But much here is, elegantly providing
insight and pleasure. And we see, in its
fine print, that the show has practiced
what it preached, embodying what it displays.
The exhibition,we read, “is supported
by a generous gift from Tina Santi
Flaherty in honour of her faithful companions Jackie, a white Labrador retriever, and Scarlett, a King Charles spaniel.”

with flour

an unidentified

doused her with white
powder at her own
perfume launch in
West Hollywood
TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK
IM Kardashian was left
humiliated when she was
attacked with flour on the red
carpet at her own perfume
launch. The 30-year-old reality star was covered in the cooking ingredient after an unidentified Asian woman
pelted her at the launch of True Refection
at The London Hotel in West Hollywood.
Kim arrived dressed-to-the-nines,
wearing a black blazer, leather trousers
and a bright blue blouse, but within minutes she looked more like a dowdy housewife after a kitchen mishap.
Kim’s back and hair was covered in the
substance, which was later determined as
cooking flour.
The website reports that after the
attack, Kim, who arrived at the hotel with
her mother Kris Jenner, was ushered into
a private room where she removed her
doused jacket and brushed the flour off
the rest of her outfit and long brunette
locks. The reality starlet opted to go back
to the event following the fracas, and the
assailant was arrested by police who were
called to the scene. The fire department
was also called to the scene to inspect the
substance, which after several minutes
they determined as cooking flour.
After she returned to the event Kim
laughed off the ordeal and even made a
joke in light of the incident. “That proba-

bly is the craziest, unexpected and weird
thing that ever happened to me,’ she told
E! Online. “Like I said to my makeup
artist, I wanted more powder and that’s a
whole lot of translucent powder right
there.”
According to E! Online, the woman ran
off after she threw the flour, but didn’t get
very far when Kim’s representation intercepted her and held onto her before security took over. Kim has not pressed
charges over the incident and the unidentified woman has been released, according to a press release from the Los
Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Moments before the assailant launched
their attack, Kim was blissfully unaware
of what was to come, happily posing for
pictures and doing interviews with the
press. The attack may have quite possibly
have come from a protester opposing
Kim’s love affair with fur.
In November Kim was the target of a
PETA campaign.
Kim’s little sister, Khloe, immediately
took to her Twitter account to express
both her outrage and praise for her sister’s dignified reaction after the flour pelting.
She wrote: ‘I’m proud of how Kim handled the situation.’
She then later added in defence, “I wish
I was with my sister tonight. I bet you that
woman wouldn’t have dared tried a
thing...”
Mel Gibson puts sprawling
Costa Rica retreat up for sale
REUTERS
CTOR-DIRECTOR Mel Gibson is
putting his sprawling hilltop compound in Costa Rica up for sale, with
a $29.75 million asking price.
The Oscar-winning Braveheart director,
who has suffered a series of public embarrassments in recent years after a decades-long
reign as a top box office star, is selling the
500-acre compound to downsize his real
estate portfolio following his divorce.
Christie’s International Real Estate, the luxury real estate firm, was set to announce the
offering.
Gibson’s Pacific coast compound, on Playa
Barrigona on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula
just south of the Nicaragua border, boasts
three hilltop homes, the largest of which has
seven bedrooms, with soaring ocean and
A
39
jungle views.
Each villa on the former cattle ranch is outfitted with native Costa Rican woods and
Italian and Spanish tiles and features multiple
veranda's and a private pool.
“The property is expansive, meticulously
maintained, and ultimately private,” said Rick
Moeser, Christie’s real estate senior vice president for the Southeast, Caribbean, Central
and South America.
“With its multiple homes and outbuildings,
this is the ideal family retreat,” Moeser added
of the pristine property that includes an
expansive beach.
Gibson, 56, has seven children from his long
marriage which ended in divorce in 2009
after his drunk driving arrest in Malibu. He
also has one child with Russian pianist
Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he had an
acrimonious breakup. The star and his large
extended family had used the estate frequently before the troubles in his personal
life. He reportedly retreated to the holiday
home during his legal troubles with
Grigorieva. Gibson was also photographed with her there in 2009, shortly before his wife filed for divorce.
Over the years the actor has owned
lavish properties in Malibu,
Australia, Montana, Connecticut,
and even a private island in Fiji.
Since his legal troubles and a
well-publicised
anti-Semitic
remarks made during his drunk
driving arrest, Gibson’s acting roles
have diminished. He had a starring
role in the Jodie Foster film The Beaver
last year, and his next project is Get the
Gringo, which he also co-wrote and is due out
later this year.
Victoria longs
for a break
TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK
W
ITH a joint fortune of £165million, David and
Victoria Beckham can clearly afford a holiday.
But according to Victoria, she has not managed
to have a break with her husband for the past
three years.
Three young sons, a baby girl and a fashion brand beloved
by the A list would appear to have left her with her hands too
full even to go shopping very often.
Looking gaunt, 37-year-old Victoria said she had been left
exhausted by eight-month-old daughter Harper’s sleepless
nights. And David, 36, said it had been years since the couple had watched anything other than children’s movies.
However, their comments, to American Vogue, would
seem to be slightly far-fetched as the family have, in fact,
managed to get some respite over the past few years.
They are frequently pictured on the beach in the exclusive
Californian resort of Malibu. And in December 2010 they
were pictured on holiday in northern California with close
friend Gordon Ramsay and his family.
In June of that year they enjoyed a holiday in St Tropez,
while in spring 2009 they relaxed at George Clooney’s
Italian villa on Lake Como.
With Victoria’s family and fashion work leaving little time
to go shopping, she buys most things over the internet. “It
doesn’t stop,” she said. “There’s a lot to get done in not a lot
of time. It’s quite intense.”
Recently a source close to Victoria said of her holiday
remarks, “Victoria was talking about the last time she had a
holiday just with David alone.”

Too soon to judge
Sonam: Dhanush
IANS
OUTHERN star Dhanush has teamed
up with Sonam Kapoor for his
Bollywood debut Raanjhanaa and says
it is too early for him to judge the acting
abilities of his co-star.
“I think it’s really too soon for me to judge what
kind of an actress Sonam is. I’ll have to work
with her and then probably I’ll know
better,” the 28-year-old said at the
Radio Mirchi Music awards.
“Right now, as far as I am concerned, she has a very expressive
face and I am sure she is capable
of much more than she has
already done,” he added.
In Raanjhanaa, both
Dhanush and Sonam play
characters from Varanasi
who are currently studying
in Delhi.
Meanwhile, the Kolaveri
Di man had composed a
Sachin Tendulkar anthem
and says it feels great now that
he has got his 100th international
century.
“There is nothing new that I can
say about the Master. The song
was aired a month ago and it has
got 5 million clicks. Now that he
has also got his 100th century,
it’s really great,” said Dhanush.
Dhanush is currently in
Mumbai working on dubbing
of the Hindi version of his wife
Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s directorial debut 3.

“Action films are
high on stunts, spectacle
and grandeur. I would want
the spectacle in the action
film as well as a very good
character-driven plot and
a good story”
CTOR Emraan
Hashmi, who
started his
career with
an action
film titled Footpath
and moved on to
romance and drama,
says he would love to
go back to the genre,
provided he gets a film
with a strong story and
character.
“I would want a character-driven action film,”
Emraan said.
“Generally action-driven films are
low on story. I personally would like to do
films where from point A to point Z there is a welletched character and a good script. Definitely if it’s
an action film, it has to be a good script,” he
added.
The 32-year-old feels it’s important for action
filmmakers to strike the right balance between
the stunts and story.
“Action films are high on stunts, spectacle
and grandeur and that’s the way it should be.
But I would want the best of both worlds. I
would want the grandeur, I would want
the spectacle in the action film and as
well as a very good character-driven
plot and a good story,” he added.
The actor spoke on the sidelines
of the music launch of his next film
Jannat 2. Directed by Kunal
Deshmukh, Jannat 2 also features Esha Gupta, Randeep
Hooda and Imran Zahid.
He will also be seen with his
The Dirty Picture co-star Vidya
Balan once again in a comedy film
titled Ghanchakkar. Emraan is confident
that the film will break the mould about the genre.
“Ghanchakkar is just a comedy film because
there are certain pre-conceived notions about
comedy and this film will break all of those.
“At the same time, you will tickle your funny
bone watching the film. It’s a hilarious film
with some thrilling moments,” Emraan
said.
Besides Jannat 2, Emraan is currently
busy will multiple projects like Raaz 3D
and Shanghai.
