In a recent interview, the usually tight-lipped actor Priyanka Chopra opened up about her relationship status. And not just that, she even accepted being in a very committed relationship in the past year.

There is no stopping our very own global sensation Priyanka Chopra. She became a household name abroad with her stellar act as Alex Parrish in Quantico and wowed fans even more in the hit franchise Baywatch. With two more Hollywood films in her kitty currently, her transition from Bollywood to Hollywood has been nothing but smooth.

In a recent interview with Filmfare, the usually tight-lipped actor opened up about her relationship status. And not just that, she even accepted being in a very committed relationship in the past year. Here’s what she said, ” Right now, I’m single. Of course, I’ve been double ya! What do you think I’m a saint? But recently, I’ve been single. Let’s just say that! I’ve been single after a really really long time. I get a lot of attention. But I don’t know what to do with it. Of course, I like it. I’m a girl and I’m vain.”

Also, when the Baywatch actor was asked if she dated anyone in America, the actor responded in the affirmative. She also specified that it wasn’t any of her Quantico co-stars because all of them are married. And on being further probed if she found anyone interesting in the past year, Priyanka said, “No, I haven’t. I’m a serial monogamist. I was in a very committed relationship. But since almost a year, I’ve been single. I’ve met a bunch of people. I’ve gone out with people. I let someone woo me but no… My mind hasn’t exploded, not yet!” (IndianExpress)

As a result of the hacking, the verification tick on Abhishek's Twitter account vanished, and his cover photograph featured a missile that read "Ayyildiz Tim" in chalk.

Abhishek's profile also had several tweets in Turkish.

Twitter said in an official post: "Our teams are working to resolve an issue affecting a small number of Indian users. We will notify affected account holders directly. Reminder: do not click on links in DMs coming from unknown accounts."

On Tuesday, it emerged that the Twitter accounts of Anupam, RSS leader and BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav and senior Indian journalist and Member of Parliament Swapan Dasgupta were hacked.

After his account was restored, Anupam sent out an advisory to his followers.

"To everyone on Twitter: Please don't open any link sent on your direct messages, however genuine they appear. That is the tool hackers are using to hack into your account. Please share this message with as many people as you can. Thanks." (IANS)

Quincy Jones, the legendary music producer behind Michael Jackson, says that the late King of Pop plagiarized some of his hits.

"I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs," Jones said in an interview full of eyebrow-raising comments published Tuesday by Vulture, the culture site of New York magazine.

"The notes don't lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come," the 84-year-old music veteran said.

He specifically cited "Billie Jean" -- a signature song off the Jones-produced "Thriller," the top-selling album of all times.

Jones suggested similarities between the song and disco queen Donna Summer's "State of Independence," which was also produced by Jones and released several months earlier in 1982.

Few listeners would immediately associate the two songs, although both open and are built on unusually lengthy synthesized bass lines.

Jones also said Jackson was "greedy" and should have given partial writing credit to keyboardist Greg Phillinganes for his song "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

Jones' allegations run against prevailing public perceptions of Jackson, who died in 2009 and is often viewed as a tortured soul with little financial acumen as he amassed wealth.

The producer voiced sympathy over Jackson's personal issues, saying he had raised concern to the singer over his plastic surgery and blamed abuse by the singer's father for the King of Pop's poor self-image.

Jones has remained active as an octogenarian, recently launching the Qwest TV video streaming service for jazz, but has also made a stream of headline-grabbing comments with a generous sprinkling of profanity.

In a recent interview with GQ magazine, he said he had 22 girlfriends around the world, spoke 26 languages and had undergone a cutting-edge treatment in Sweden to help him live to 110.

"I think he was secretly in love with the sitter. She is a very pretty lady.

"It's pretty audacious, with the light under the chin, which focuses you on the head. As a bit of painting it stands on its own anyway, without any of the other stories," he added.

The painting is expected to sell for around £250,000 ($347,000, 282,000 euros) when it goes on sale jointly in London and Lagos on February 28, but Okri argued that its worth was more than financial.

"It gives us a glimpse of an important African reconfiguration of the art of portraiture," he said.

"It's going to start a fire, start a debate. Never have they given proper due to African painters. This is the perfect work to start" to ask why, he added. (   AFP)

Kathmandu: The Supreme Court has paved the way for businessman Ajaya Raj Sumargi to recover around Rs 2.25 billion that the Nepal Ras­tra Bank had frozen earlier. A sin­gle bench of justice Tej Bahadur KC issued an interim order on Tuesday in the name of the bank to desist from implementing its earlier deci­sion to withhold the amount. “The legal reasons put forth by the bank to withhold the fund were not transpar­ent, and hence this order is issued to allow the petitioner to withdraw the money,” reads the order.

The court has also summoned both plaintiffs and defendants on February 14. Sumargi and Subas Chandra Poudel had filed a writ at the Supreme Court last Sunday on behalf of the Nepal Satellite Telecom Company, arguing that the bank’s decision to withhold the funds had damaged the company and had asked for immediate release of the funds.
