Don’t let the gorgeous face and sexy physique fool you — Megan Fox is no ditz. In fact, the 28-year-old actress gets a kick out of folks who think she is.
“I would say most people assume that I’m not very smart or educated or earnest because I have this image that I’m sort of narcissistic, chasing attention, and wanting people to like me,” Fox said for the April cover story in Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.
It makes me laugh because I’ve done plenty of interviews and when you read the article from beginning to end you can see that I’m not your typical music video model,” she added.
Fox did appear in Eminem and Rihanna’s 2010 music video for “Love the Way You Lie,” but she still considers herself a serious thespian although her acting skills have come into question in the past.
Besides her most recent starring role in 2014’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” her acting creds include two “Transformers” flicks, romantic comedies like “This is 40,” and the horror film “Jennifer’s Body.”
The people whose opinions matter liked it, so I’m OK with that,” Fox said about director Quentin Tarantino, who praised her performance in the Karyn Kusama-directed thriller also starring Amanda Seyfried saying, “‘I really liked ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ you were really good in that.'”
Just as she treats the feedback received from her work, Fox has never been one to really give people’s opinions of her much weight.
“I never liked school as I don’t do well with authority figures putting boundaries on me, so it’s always something I’ve acted against,” she told the mag out April 1.
Fox’s upbringing in general was filled with what she felt were constraints on the ability to be her true self.
Dubai: The Burj Khalifa’s record as the world’s tallest building is well known. Not so well known is its connection with India. Indians own the most number of apartments in the building, which has more than 160 stories and a height of over 828 metres. BR Shetty, an Indian industrialist based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), paid United Arab Emirates dirham (AED) 45 million in 2005 to buy the entire 100th floor. BK Modi, a Singaporebased businessman, Rizwan Sajan, chairman of real estate company Danube Group, and Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, to name but three, are other Indians or people of Indian origin who own apartments in Burj Khalifa.
Last year, building materials supplier, Danube Group launched a project to develop 175 townhouses at Al Furjan — a residential hub in Dubai — by 2016. The three- and four-bedroom houses, with a built-up area of 2,500-3,000 square feet, have prices starting at AED 2.5 million (1 AED = Rs 17.01). The entire project was sold out on the very first day. The largest number of buyers was again that of Indians. Indians have long been flocking to the UAE for jobs. They form the largest number of expatriates in the Gulf (in Dubai alone, 30% of the population are Indians). But in recent years, they have also — as the cases of Burj Khalifa and Danube illustrate — been buying property by the hordes in Dubai, one of the seven federates of UAE.

Indians now are the largest non-Arab investors in Dubai real estate in terms of value and volumes, according to Dubai Government Land Department (see India Shining). They have invested AED 44 billion in Dubai’s real estate market in the last three years, including AED 18.1 billion in 2014, according to Dubai Land Department data. “Many Indians consider Dubai as their second home. Property prices in Dubai are cheaper than the corresponding places in India or other international cities,” said Rizwan Sajan, chairman of Danube Group. The average price of an apartment in prime locations in Mumbai is Rs 6 crore whereas the corresponding price for a posh apartment or villa in Dubai is AED 2 million to AED 3 million, or Rs 3.4 crore to Rs 5.1 crore.
Even in an upscale location like Dubai Marina, whose expansive waterfront is packed with idling yachts, property prices are cheaper than in many Indian cities. Or, for that matter, London. Properties in London cost three to four times more than in Dubai. It is no wonder then that a number of developers in India such as Sobha Group and Danube are developing prime property in Downtown Dubai and Dubai Studio City.
Most of the buyers are typically Indians. “70% of the investors in our first two projects are working Asian expatriates, especially from India and Pakistan, because they saw a good investment opportunity,” said Sajan. Indians in Dubai, particularly from the middle class, buy property for pretty much the same reason as most people working in places far from home do: it makes sense to own a property than pay rent for one. The rents in Dubai pinch: ranging from AED 80,000 to AED 1,00,000 a year for a one-bedroom apartment in some of the premium properties, rising by up to 8% a year. Buying makes sense: a decent, spacious property in an upscale locality typically costs about AED 1 million.
A recent survey by Bayut.com, an online property portal, showed that the majority of Indians living in Dubai planned to buy an apartment rather than a villa or a townhouse. About 60.8% of Indians surveyed in the study said they have been looking to buy a house for the past three months. Of this lot, 82.86% said they are interested in buying apartments. Only 13.71% of Indians showed an interest in buying villas. The search for townhouses was limited to just 1.71% Indians.
At Burj Khalifa, the buyers are not just the affluent. In fact, the number of investors buying apartments through home loans in the tower had doubled in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, according to authorities. Even so, the most sought-after localities happen to be the toniest in Dubai — Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah Lake Towers. According to Luxhabitat, a Dubai-based real estate brokerage firm, the maximum number of properties above AED 5 million were sold in Downtown Dubai followed by Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.
An Indian businessman in the UAE who owns 27 residences in Burj Khalifa said Indians are investing in the UAE because it is very difficult to invest or do business in India, especially in Kerala. “There are trade union problems, shortage of labour and even restrictions on using land. So instead of attracting trouble by investing in India, we find peace of mind and reasonable return of investments in the UAE,” he said, requesting anonymity

Megashare.
There has been romantic speculation surrounding Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna for absolutely yonks, and with neither party coming forward to deny the rumours AND sources claiming that Leo was so besotted with RiRi that he even gave her her own ‘smoking room’ in his house, we thought that this was one love that was well and truly blossoming.
However, the Bajan beauty has finally broken her silence on the gossip and although she didn’t explicitly mention the gorge Leo by name, she did seem to massively hint that she was still very much single and looking for love.
Speaking as she promo’ed her new film ‘Home’, the 27-year-old said when asked about the hunky actor: “Stay off the blogs, they will screw you every time.”
She then went on to add: “I’m looking for a man who could tolerate my schedule. Someone man enough to do that and not get scared, because I don’t have a lot of time to offer.”
The Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, is set to name her second royal baby Alice, if bets made by the public are anything to go by. According to William Hill, the bookmakers have seen a fresh wave of punters believing that Prince William and Kate’s second baby will be called Alice.
The name is a traditional one in the British royal family and has been thrown around in recent weeks as a popular choice.
Bookmakers noted that a group of royal fans in Tunbridge, Kent have placed a large amount of bets on the name Alice, causing them to slash the odds to 4/1. Competing company Ladbrokes have also cut the odds to 3/1.
We have seen a significant number of bets, particularly from the Tunbridge area – you have to think there is a good reason for the gamble,” a statement from William Hill revealed.
One person wagered approximately £300 on the name, meaning it would cost bookies over £4,500 if the royal baby did turn out to be called Alice.
The pretty name would give a nod to Queen Victoria’s second daughter, Alice Maud Mary. The late royal was famous for her compassionate nature and relentless advocacy of women’s rights – two qualities that would be encouraged in a modern monarch.
William and Kate themselves do not know the gender of their second child, but with Kate’s April due date fast approaching, the majority of punters are betting that the Duchess will have a daughter. Over 70 per cent of William Hill customers are backing a baby girl.
Elizabeth is proving to be the second most popular name with odds at 9/2, followed by Charlotte at 11/2 and Victoria at 12/1. The front-runner for a boy’s name is Arthur at 20/1.
Kate recently revealed that she was due in “mid-to-late April” and if she does give birth near the Queen’s birthday on 21 April, Elizabeth would make for a fitting choice.
Whatever they choose to name their little Prince or Princess, William and Kate will take joy in the fact that their second child will be born just days within their fourth-wedding anniversary, which falls on 29 April.
In a remark that could land him in trouble, Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Tuesday allegedly advised the agitating nurses that they should not stage hunger strike in the sun because it will make them ‘dark’ and ‘ruin their marital prospects’.
“When we met the Chief Minister over our demands at Ponda today, he said the girls should not sit on hunger strike in hot sun as their complexion will become dark and they will not find a good bridegroom,” said Anusha Sawant, one of the nurses.
“The comment was unwarranted. We expect the CM to meet our demands if he is really worried about us,” she said.
Parsekar was not available for reaction.
Hajipur(Bihar), Apr 1 (PTI) Union Minister Giriraj Singh has again kicked up a major row with racist remarks, wondering if Congress would have accepted Sonia Gandhi’s leadership if she was not white-skinned, a statement condemned by the party which asked the Prime Minister to dismiss him and apologise to the nation.
“Had Rajiv Gandhi married a Nigerian woman and if she was not a white-skinned woman, would the Congress have then accepted her leadership?,” he told journalists yesterday.
Various women leaders also attacked Singh, who is minister of state for micro, small and medium enterprises, saying it reflected his racial mindset and attitude towards women.
The Minister, who had courted controversies in the past with remarks during Lok Sabha elections like people opposed to Narendra Modi can go to Pakistan, also mocked Rahul Gandhi’s absence from the political scene and likened it to the “missing Malaysian airliner”.
“Imagine a situation, if Congress was in power instead of us and had Rahul been the Prime Minister, and if for some reason, the PM had disappeared for more than 47 days.
“Absence of Congress Vice President is similar to that of the missing Malaysian airliner that still has not been located. The same way the Congress leader was not present in the budget session. No one in Congress is ready to speak. This is unfortunate for the Congress and a joke for the country,” he said.
When asked about his controversial comments, Singh, who was in Delhi today, refused to comment. As his remarks snowballed into a major controversy, the BJP leader said if his comments have hurt Gandhi, he regretted them.
“If Soniaji and Rahulji have been hurt by my remarks, I express my regret,” he said even as he maintained that his remarks were “off the record” and suggested that media was blowing it out of proportion.
But a furious Congress was unrelenting in its attack.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi must dismiss such a minister and apologise to the nation, an AICC statement said.
The statement, issued by Randeep Singh Surjewala, Incharge Communications of AICC, said the party “strongly deprecates and condemns the intemperate and distasteful remarks…bordering on insanity”.
“It appears that continuous quest to appease Prime Minister has made him lose his balance. Such remarks are reflective of lack of moral fibre in BJP and its cadre,” the party said.
“I think Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kept him in the cabinet only to make such statements and probably BJP does not have a better leader for Bihar,” senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh said.
Another Congress leader Manish Tewari said it was for Modi to reflect as to what kind of “elements and bizarre creatures” are there in his government. .
Ethelbari(WB), Apr 1 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today stressed on development of tourism in north Bengal and said the government would take steps in the direction.
Banerjee, who inaugurated a total 45 projects for the region at a programme at Ethelbari in Alipurduar district, said the government would sanction Rs 400 crore for the development of Dooars.
She mentioned scenic spots like Suntalikhola and Mouchuki, where stress would be given for tourism.
“Development is most important so that all of you live in peace. Let there be no riots, no clashes, no violence,” she said.
Inaugurating a slew of projects, Banerjee said the government was contemplating distributing 20 lakh cycles for students – both girls and boys across the state. The cycles would be distributed among poor students irrespective of whether they belonged to tribal or SC/ST sections.
She announced distribution of 900 cycles among girl students and an enhanced stipend of Rs 750 yearly for the 14,000 girls under Kanyashri project in Alipurduar district.
Banerjee also announced 35 kg of rice for workers in tea gardens at Rs 2 per kg and monthly allowance of Rs 1,500 if the garden is closed for over three months.
She also laid the foundation of the Rs 50 crore integrated Alipurduar collectorate building, inaugurated krishak bazars in various areas, a drinking water project at Falakata and a police station at Shamuktala among others.
Chennai, Apr 1 (PTI) Archrivals AIADMK and DMK were today involved in an exchange of words in the Tamil Nadu Assembly over Chief Minister O Panneerselvam’s reference to the 2G-spectrum allocation scam, culminating in the opposition party staging a walkout.
Heated scenes were witnessed after Panneerselvam, who was replying to the debate on Budget presented by him last week, made some remarks about the scam, in which DMK leaders Kanimozhi and former Telecom Minister A Raja are accused.
The DMK members, led by their floor leader M K Stalin, vociferously opposed Panneerselvam’s remarks and wanted the Speaker P Dhanapal to expunge the remark.
However, Dhanapal did not heed to their demand, prompting the DMK legislators to troupe out of the House.
The Chief Minister was responding to senior DMK leader Durai Murugan extensively relying on CAG reports to question the government’s performance on various sectors during the debate on the Budget, and pointed out that it was the CAG report which pegged the 2G spectrum allocation loss at Rs 1.76 lakh crore.
Seeking to rub salt into DMK’s wounds, Pannneerselvam said that his government had not been dragged to the court over any findings by the CAG, in an apparent reference to Kanimozhi and Raja attending court hearings in this matter.

New Delhi, Apr 1 (PTI) Budget carrier SpiceJet has made a part payment of its dues to the state-run Airports Authority of India (AAI) and also signed an agreement with aircraft leasing firm BBAM to settle out of court the dispute over Boeing rentals.
“SpiceJet has paid a part payment of Rs 25 crore to the Airports Authority of India towards the dues it had accumulated due to the cash crunch last year,” sources told PTI here today.
The AAI received the part payment of around Rs 300 crore dues yesterday, they said.
Meanwhile, the airline said that aircraft leasing firm BBAM has agreed in-principle to settle out of court the dispute over aircraft rentals.
“SpiceJet has entered into an in-principle understanding with its five lessors managed by BBAM Aircraft Leasing and Finance with regard to five aircraft operated by the company,” SpiceJet said in a regulatory filing today.
Under the understanding, the lessors have agreed to suspend court proceedings, including winding these up, and the de-registration process of aircraft, subject to SpiceJet satisfying the terms of settlement and parties executing definitive agreements, the airline said.
SpiceJet was dragged to court by several aircraft leasing firms including BBAM after it had failed to pay rentals for some of its Boeing 737 aircraft due to financial crunch last year.
A single judge bench of the high court had on March 19 directed the DGCA to de-register six Boeing 737 aircraft given to the carrier.
But on March 23, another of its lessors Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd decided to withdraw the court proceedings and de-registration process of aircraft after the parties reached an agreement on the issue.
Currently, the budget carrier has a fleet of 32 aircraft, of which 27 are Boeing 737 and the rest Bombardier Q400s. The airline plans to add seven more such planes between this month and May.
