London, April 30 (ANI): Uma Thurman has admitted that she’s struggling to juggle her film career with being a mum.

The ‘Kill Bill’ star, who has two children from her former marriage to Ethan Hawke – daughter Maya, 11, and eight-year-old son Levon, has spoken out about how motherhood has affected her movie-making plans.

Thurman revealed that she almost quit acting to look after her kids – but vowed to keep ‘fighting’ to preserve her Hollywood career.

“I love and adore being a mother. It”s the greatest gift I”ve ever been given. Having children flips the game from being about you to about what you can create in a home and what your responsibilities are,” the Daily Star quoted her as telling Candis magazine.

“I”ve thought about quitting acting, but I love what I do so much – it”s the big conundrum of my life. So I”m fighting to keep my foot in the business, be creative and stimulated, and still take care of my children,” she added. (ANI)

David Carradine – Lady Boys – David Carradine murdered by Lady Boys

Washington: Kill Bill star David Carradine was murdered by gender-bender hookers, the actor’s movie producer pal has claimed. David Winters, who produced three of the actor’s less-known martial arts movies, insists that he was the victim of Bangkok’s Lady Boys, reports Contactmusic.

He tells America’s Globe, “David Carradine was murdered… I strongly believe Lady Boys are responsible. Lady Boys operate in pairs. David would not have stood a chance. They can be very brutal.”

Going by his belief, Winters is now calling for authorities to release hotel surveillance video. He says, “I want to see those tapes. My suspicion is they’ve already been doctored.”

A retired FBI agent, who has been hired by the Globe to look into the matter, agrees with Winters’ theory. Ted Gunderson says, “I believe he (Carradine) met two Lady Boys in the hotel bar… They are flirtatious, desperate for money and would have zeroed in on a celebrity like Carradine.”

Carradine’s naked body was found bound and hanging in a closet in a Bangkok, Thailand hotel room on 4 June (09).

Vivica A. Fox not interested in becoming ‘sugarmama’ to young suitors

April 15, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, Apr 15 (ANI): Vivica A. Fox has never hidden her liking for young men, but the actress has set an age limit for her potential suitors, because she does not want to become a “sugarmama”.

The ‘Kill Bill’ star has admitted that she prefers dating younger men, and even flaunts her skills as an experienced seductress as host of new U.S. TV show ‘The Cougar’.

In the show, the 47-year-old actress helps an older woman find love with a younger man.

Fox has now confessed that her twenty-something suitors should be well established in their professional lives before she agrees to a date.

This is because she won’t like to pay the bill when on a date.

“You have to realise when they’re 27 and younger, you go from going from a ‘cougar’ to a ‘sugarmama’ and that’s the number one rule: ‘We don’t do sugarmama,’” Contactmusic quoted her as saying. (ANI)
