Aishwarya Rai Bachchan takes Aaradhya Bachchan out to a Kids’ Park

Actress Aishwarya Rai took her two-year-old daughter Aaradhya Bachchan to a kids’ fun play park in Mumbai. Also accompanying the duo was Aishwarya’s father and mother.

Aaradhya Bachchan didn’t seem too excited and stuck to her mother’s lap despite a lot of fun games around her. The mother-daughter duo was spotted bonding with a family that had a son about Aaradhya’s age.

Finally the shy Aaradhya Bachchan stepped out of Aishwarya Rai’s lap and joined in the fun and frolic.

The little one has been Aishwarya’s top priority ever since her birth on November 16, 2011. So much so that Ash has put on the backburner her acting career just to be around Aaradhya in her growing up years.

Whenever Aishwarya Rai goes abroad, Aaradhya convoys her. Recently, the duo was spotted at the airport arriving from a vacation in Dubai (see photos here).

Hrithik Roshan Announces Divorce From Wife Sussanne

They are Bollywood’s golden couple or should we say they 'were'. Who would have thought that the blissfully married Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne would get a divorce? Married in 2000, Hrithik and Sussanne have one of the most stunning love stories Bollywood has ever seen.

The dazzling couple met in the filmiest way possible. Hrithik set his eyes on the beautiful Sussanne at a traffic signal and it was love at first sight for him. He asked her out on Valentine’s Day and they have been a couple ever since. Hrithik even went down on one knee at Mumbai’s Juhu beach to propose to Sussanne. All of this happened before Hrithik was a superstar and the nation’s heartthrob. Sigh! On a chat show, Hrithik even admitted that he had seen Sussanne play in their building compound and was infatuated with her ever since he was 12 years old.

But alas, all of this has come to an end! Though the reason is not clear, we hear that supposedly Sussanne was bored of her husband of 13 years who was too busy working and obsessing over his good looks. Some say that Sussanne’s growing closeness to actor Arjun Rampal was the final nail in the coffin. Another reason cited by the rumour mills is the growing friction between Sussanne and Pinky Roshan (Hrithik’s mother). Sussanne wanted to move out of the house they shared with the in-laws, whereas Hrithik was not sure about that.

Both Hrithik and Sussanne have released statements to the media saying that the decision is mutual. Hrithik who is out of the country now also updated his status on Facebook saying that Sussanne is and always will be the love of his life.

"Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17 year relationship. This is a very trying time for the entire family and I request the media and the people to grant us our privacy at this time," revealed the Bollywood star.

"I do not wish this news to disempower my fans and the people about the institution of marriage in any way. I am a firm believer in this institution and respect and honour it at the highest level," he added.

He updated on his Facebook as "This is my greatest tribute to love. Sussanne is and always will be the love of my life for the rest of my life. If her smiles are brighter without me my love for her must accomplish that. Unconditional. "

We are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping against hope that the couple reunites.

Family Funeral Planned For Paul Walker - ‘Fast & Furious’ Crew Invited

On Dec. 10, Paul’s family made arrangements for his funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. The cemetery picked up Paul’s remains on Dec. 9 after his autopsy last week, a source at the Los Angeles County Coroner told the paper.

“All of the funeral details are still being worked out,” but a service is being planned for this weekend. The insider adds that Paul’s 15-year-old daughter, Meadow Walker, is doing “as well as can be expected. She is a little lost right now and is spending a lot of time with her close friends.”

We hope that Paul’s daughter and the rest of his family will find some peace once they lastly lay him to rest. Sources connected with Paul's family tell that their biggest concern is Paul's 15-year-old daughter Meadow, who is reasonably having a difficult time. They don't want a bunch of strangers surrounding the girl, because she needs to feel comfortable to grieve.

So the funeral will be by invitation only, and Paul felt the folks on the "Fast & Furious" cast and crew were close relatives. He was with them a lot and bonded with most of them.

But a photoshoot for Vogue has given her accurately the shot in the arm that she needs at exactly the time that she needs it.

Texas Life-Size Gingerbread House Sets New Guinness Record

The world’s largest gingerbread house has been erected on Texas A&M Traditions Club grounds, in Bryan, Texas. The 39,201.8 cubic-foot house set a Guinness World Record this year, and is helping raise funds for a local trauma center. It measures 60 feet by 42 feet and its tallest point rises 20.11 feet.

The idea for the house first came to Bill Horton, managing director of the Traditions Club, in September 2012. He was watching a Food Network special on gingerbread houses at the time. At first he thought he could get the house done by November, but soon understood that it would take a lot more work. That’s when the project got postponed to this year.

“Everybody got excited that we were trying to do this,” he said. Ninety percent of all the raw materials were donated – from lumber to electrical supplies to constituents. Lots of people volunteered too. Club members, bakers and locals joined hands to create the home.

Visitor fees are $2 for children and $3 for adults. Several people have made generous donations too, raising the total collections to $150,000 in the first week.

If you’re watching your weight this Christmas, you probably don’t want to make a trip to this house. The 36 million-calorie structure is bound to rekindle your cravings!
