London, May 16 (ANI): Katy Perry and Russell Brand are planning a small wedding focusing solely on their love for one another rather than having a ‘drunk fest’.
They will fly their select guests to a secret location for seven days of celebrations, it has emerged.

The couple has sent out save-the-date cards to friends and family for their wedding.
The henna-inspired hand-shaped invites, complete with diamond engagement ring, and hints at an exotic location.
Guests have only been told to keep the week of October 18 free for their nuptials – and they”d better bring their passport.
The text reads: “Save the Week, For the Wedding of Katy & Russell. You will be contacted soon with more information.”
“The wedding will be small. I always have a ton of people around me and I think the people that are going to share this moment with us are the people we want to integrate into each others” lives,” News of the World quoted Katy, 25, as saying.
“We don”t want it to be a drunk fest of people, just one night and then forgetting about it. We want it to be about the love,” she added. (ANI)
London, May 16 (ANI): Universal Music Group International, the world”s largest music company, has said that piracy cannot be stopped.

“Are you going to stop piracy? No you”re not,” the BBC News quoted him, as saying.

He added: “We”ve got markets like Spain and Italy, where [people say] ”You buy music? What are you doing buying music when you can get it for free?”

Washington, Sept 10 (ANI): Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has come out in defense of her decision to not to support Chris Brown, after the star slammed the TV titan for siding with ex-girlfriend Rihanna following the bust-up.
After Brown’s beating of Rihanna in February (09), Winfrey dedicated an episode of her hit daytime talkshow to the topic of domestic abuse and also advised the ‘Umbrella’ singer against the Brown.
However, Brown hit out at Winfrey insisting he had helped the media mogul out in the past.
He said, “I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This (abuse) is a problem’, but it was a slap in my face. I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘OK, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”
In an interview to Access Hollywood, Winfrey backed up her decision not to defend Brown, insisting that although she was grateful for his help during the opening of her African girls school, she does not condone domestic violence in any way.
“So this is what happened; Chris Brown did my show several years ago, I think it was 2007. Fun, fun time and afterward he said, ‘If there’s anything ever I can do for you then let me know.’ I almost never take anybody up on that… But my girls at the Academy in Africa love Chris Brown, love, love, love, love, love Chris Brown,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

He said: “It’s up to the judge if he gets let out of the country or not. I’m not worried at all. He wants to be here. It’s just up to what he’s going through with his court case right now.
“He’s asked for forgiveness. If Christ can forgive him, so can we. People make mistakes, but he’s a wonderful performer.” (ANI)

Washington, September 1 (ANI): Singer Chris Brown has said that reports on the net claiming he has forgotten what happened the night he assaulted his ex-girlfriend/singer Rihanna are false.
The Kiss Kiss hitmaker has called reports based on a clip of an interview with Larry King misleading.
“There have been reports on the Internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight,” People magazine quoted him as saying.
He said: “That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like four or five times – and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.
“The first four times – or however many times it was – I gave the same answer – which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, ‘Do you remember doing it?’ and I said, ‘No.’
“Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything. But it was and still is a blur.
“And yes, I still can’t believe it happened because it is not me or who I am, nor is what happened like anything I have ever done before.
“As I have said several times previously, I am ashamed of and sorry for what happened that night and I wish I could relive that moment and change things, but I can’t. I take full responsibility for my actions.
“What I have to do now is to prove to the world that this was an isolated incident and that is not who I am, and I intend to do so by my behavior now and in the future.”
Brown has been ordered 180 days community labour and five years probation for assaulting Rihanna. (ANI)
