September 3, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New York, September 3 (ANI): Daniel Craig’s macho image may have suffered a setback after the actor reportedly demanded all time security while he prepares for his Broadway debut.

The James Bond star was said to have asked for personal security as he shares the stage with co-star Hugh Jackman in “A Steady Rain.”

“Everybody thinks it’s funny because the truth is, Daniel rarely gets approached by the public in the street and at restaurants-especially now that he has the huge handlebar moustache for this role,” the New York Post quoted a production source as saying.

Another Broadway insider said, “Security and secrecy around the show are so tight that Jackman and Craig are rehearsing at a secret location outside the city.”

The much-awaited drama is set to have previews next week and will open on September 29. (ANI)

Sir Sean Connery wins multi-million pound court fight over loaned gems

March 18, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, March 18 (ANI): Sir Sean Connery has won a multi-million pound legal battle over loaned gems to a late friend.

The 78-year-old had lent 4 million dollars to French-Swiss friend Jean-Ren in 1972, and in exchange received shares, diamonds and property as collateral.

The former James Bond star was accused of making a huge profit from selling the assets when Ren failed to repay the money and passed away in 2002.

Ren’s son Christian filed a lawsuit against the Hollywood veteran claiming Connery received far more than his original investment from the sale of the security, which he claimed, now stood at 50 million dollars as compared to 10 million dollars in the past.

Judges in Geneva, Switzerland, however, recently ruled there was no case for the actor to answer.

“I am pleased to announce the Tribunal of First Instance of the Republique and Canton of Geneva has entirely found in favour of Sir Sean and Lady Connery and has declared the demand the petition of the son of Jean-Ren Canela totally inadmissible,” Contactmusic quoted his agent Nancy Seltzer as saying.
