New York (ANI): Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, made a grand opening with 330 million dollars in global ticket sales over the weekend. The seventh Potter movie generated an estimated 125.1 million dollars in North America making it into No. 1 there, reports the New York Times.

It was the second-biggest domestic opening for the Harry Potter franchise; adjusting for higher ticket prices, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire sold 127.4 million dollars over its first three days in November 2005. The strong results reflect a yearlong, full-court press by Warner’s global marketing chief, Sue Kroll, to position Deathly Hallows as a must-see event for children and adults alike.

The advertising campaign played up the sophisticated, darker elements of the plot. Harry and pals are now grown up, for instance, and the good-versus-evil battle is intensifying as the story line reaches its climax. The marketing materials also injected some edge into the franchise by taking risks like identifying the film only by the letters HP7 and splattering posters and billboards with what looked like blood; one poster depicted the Hogwarts castle in flames.

It paid off: about 25 percent of the North American audience for “Deathly Hallows” was in the 18-to-34-year-old demographic, according to Dan Fellman, Warner’s president of domestic distribution. Fellman noted that “Deathly Hallows,” which earned positive reviews, beat “Alice in Wonderland” to become the top opening movie in Imax history. “No other franchise has been able to age and expand the audience this way,” Fellman said.

However, this is not just the end of Tony Parker’s infidelity story. Now, a 19-year-old British model named Sophia Egeler has come out claiming that Parker tried to seduce her also and went up to the extent of sending half naked pictures of him along with some sultry messages. You can imagine to which level he can go when he added to the photo asking if she wanted a sexier photo of him to get closer to him.

Few days back, Parker said that he did not have any kind of physical relationship
with Erin Berry, who he sent around hundred very personal text messages. Now, Sophia’s disclosure indicates that Tony was never a committed husband at all. It was just carrying the tag of a celebrity wife like Eva Longaria!

The young model claimed that she met the NBA basketball star in London at an Ultimate Fighting show at the O2 Arena. She informed that Tony started approaching her since they met and despite of her refusal he followed her. Later, they partied at Whisky Mist till 1 am and when she wanted to leave he kept asking her to stay with him and enjoy the night at his home. Sophia said that at that time, she was not aware that Tony was Eva Longaria’s hubby. She also added that Tony stopped sending messages to her when media started reporting about his divorce with Eva.

Well, Eva will no longer repent on her decision after this latest disclosure of the model. It seems that Tony can’t be loyal to any woman because he was doing the same thing with Erin too!

New York, (ANI): Naomi Campbell's former agent has claimed having evidence to prove that the supermodel was aware of her role as a principal in Moodform Mission, the fragrance company that produced Campbell's perfume.

White sued Campbell for 10 million dollars for backing out of the perfume deal and eating her commission. In a taped conversation from July 11, 2006, Campbell's manager, Bruno Michel, calls White "partner" and says that they had talked about commissions '20,000 times,' reports the New York Post. However, Campbell's countersuit claimed that White misrepresented her role in the fragrance company.

White's lawyer said that the tape supports their case that Campbell knew of White's role. Campbell's rep said, "The allegation is unequivocally denied."

London, (ANI): Christina Aguilera has revealed that she is coping well after her split from Jordan Bratman. The singer, who is mother to two-year-old son Max, insisted that she is looking towards a 'new chapter' in her life.

“I’m doing good - really, really good. Sometimes change is necessary,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying in a US chat show. “I’m entering a whole different chapter in my life now with the movie, and my son, and being a mother - the next evolution in my life. And it feels good - it feels really good,” she said.

Christina also said she has been relying on old friendships to get over the split, including with her former Mickey Mouse Club castmate Justin Timberlake.

“I’d say the Mouseketeer who I keep in touch with the most is Justin Timberlake,” the Dirrty singer said. “I just went and supported him at a charity event that he was doing out in Vegas, and he’s just, you know, how can you not love Justin? He’s such a charismatic, amazing guy,” she said.

Washington (ANI): Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given 150,000 dollars in recognition of National Adoption Day. The day celebrates adoptive families and draws awareness to the 100,000 plus children still in need of adoptive families.

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation donated the funds to SOS Children’s Villages-USA, an organization that plays a pivotal role in providing loving, stable homes for foster children whose biological families are unable to properly tend to their needs.

“I am truly thankful that Angelina and Brad understand the power of family – the kind of stable family that SOS holds as an essential part of healthy child development,” Fox News quoted CEO of SOS Children’s Villages, Heather Paul, as saying. “Angelina and Brad know that children’s need for a family is universal,” Paul added.

Does Eric Johnson, a former NFL player, but now unemployed, have the moolah to purchase that extravagant engagement ring for Jessica Simpson? The ring is designed by Neil Lane, is a five carat ruby, with “old European cut” diamonds on the side which are approximately two carats each. When diamond is the order of the day, why ruby?

Critics are a little skeptical about the marriage. In a bid to sound normal and happy Jessica Simpson got engaged to one time NFL player Eric Johnson. He last played for the New Orleans Saints back in 2008. Johnson split from his wife earlier this year.

The question which plagues us all is – Did Jessica Simpson get engaged because her ex-husband did? Rumors suggest that she is still not over Nick and is in a state of depression. People close to Jessica are reported to be a little worried as she is going for a marriage that too without a pre-nup agreement.

Ever since it was announced, Excel Entertainment and Aamir Khan Productions' film starring Aamir Khan and directed by Reema Kagti has been in the news. There were speculations all the while as to who the lucky two heroines would be who would be paired opposite Aamir in this suspense flick. Now the suspense (pun intended) is over and it's none other than Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor who have been signed on for this ambitious project.

This is the first time that Aamir, Rani and Kareena will be starring in the same film and it's indeed a casting coup for sure. It may be recalled that Rani starred opposite Aamir early in her career in the smash-hit Ghulam and was even part of the historical Mangal Pandey -The Rising. Bebo meanwhile was Aamir's co-star in last year's blockbuster 3 Idiots.

Now with the trio coming together for this project, things are only going to get hotter in the days to come.

Bollywood celebrities on the television screens is a very usual sight but how about viewing Hollywood stars on your Indian Televisions?

'Bigg Boss 4' is trying hard to attract the eye balls of the Hollywood audience to its reality show. Earlier, it was the Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson who entered the 'Bigg Boss 4' house for three days as a guest and now it can be the Rambo, Sylvester Stallone.

Surprised? Well, according to the sources close to the show, 'Bigg Boss' is planning to get Stallone on the show. The Hollywood star, who has already made a special appearance in the Akshay Kumar starer movie Kambakkht Ishq might be seen on Colors reality show 'Bigg Boss 4'.

Since, Stallone is very popular in India, the TRP ratings of the show will surely soar high on his entry. But will Stallone agree to the offer is the question that still stands strong. However, if he agrees to the offer one can wonder what amount will he quote to enter the house after Pamela Anderson charging an amount of 2.5 crores for her short stay in the Bigg house.

However, there is buzz that Dolly Bindra is likely to enter 'Bigg Boss 4' house again after the entry of Sameer Soni. Looks like there are Bigg TRP's waiting for 'Bigg Boss' house.

Kim Kardashian finally has a man in her life, and that too, a hot one! The American socialite and celebrity has been spotted with Gabriel Aubry. If the name is not ringing a bell in your ears well Gabriel is Halle Berry’s ex, and it is not too long ago that he’d announced his saddening break-up with her.

And this time around, we don’t expect the age gap to play spoilsport between the newly dating couple. 34- year-old Gabriel had been dating Halle, ten years his senior, for a long time. It was earlier this year that he’d confessed splitting with Halle as he could not cope up the differences which resulted due to their age-gap.

But then, Gabriel so far has seemed to be a no-strings-attached guy. Having fathered a daughter with Halle, named Nahla, he had not intended to marry Halle ever. So what is it with Kim? Any guesses? We guess this is yet another romance for the French-Canadian model.

The duo went for the LA Lakers match few days back. And when it is sports, we know how fascinated sportsmen have been for her romantic life. She’s been hooked to names like Reggie Bush and Miles Austin in the past.

Guess she thought of a different category of men this time and picked on,
