Dabangg continues to perform well

Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha starrer Dabangg creates history. Initially, Dabangg makers thought that the movie would appeal only to the masses, but much to their surprise, the movie even tapped the class audience.

Dabangg created history in Indian cinema collecting 106.24 crore in the 1st 10 days – that’s mind boggling. And not surprising if these numbers are for Salman Khan.

Till recently, Arbaaz Khan and Salman Khan extremely busy promoting Dabangg and now they’re starting to celebrate the success of Dabangg

Arbaaz Khan said, “We’ve going to celebrate and party soon for Dabangg success. It’s still unplanned and we would invite all out friends and colleagues to share our happiness”.

The film collected approx. Rs. 3.15 crore on Monday, taking the 10-day total to approximately Rs. 107.65 crore net.

With Anjaana Anjaani getting pushed ahead by one week, the Dabangg wave is expected to spill over to the third weekend as well.

Dabangg should stand at a total of Rs. 115 crore to Rs. 117 crore net at the end of Week 2, if it continues the momentum on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Superbus to be unveiled in Germany

What we first believed to be just an engineering exercise is slowly gaining speed and turning into a project which just might change the world as we know it.

The Superbus project, an endeavor meant to create the perfect means of mass transportation, capable of traveling at speeds of 250 km/h (155 mph), is set to be officially presented by Delft University of Technology in Germany.

The vehicle is already being tested by Dutch inventor Wubbo Ockels and his team of engineers and students. The last test, conducted at Lelystad in the Netherlands, saw the vehicle reach a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

The vehicle is being financially backed by the Dutch government which, according to The Telegraph, already invested a considerable amount of money into the development of the Superbus. The goal is to have the vehicle on the roads in the Netherlands as soon as possible.

Capable of traveling at speeds on dedicated stretches of road the Superbus can seat 23 people. It is built on an aluminum frame wrapped in carbon fiber and features an innovative, variable ground clearance, which allows it to lower itself to a distance of only 7 cm for better aerodynamics while speeding.

The Superbus uses 750 sensors to detect everything from passengers not wearing their seatbelts to objects on the road. It uses electric motors powered by lithium polymer batteries, which give the bus a range of 210 km (130 miles) and a peak output of 600 kW for one minute (804 hp).

The interior of the Superbus is expected to be similar to the comfort offered by the business class in an aircraft.

Fish talk to each other, researcher finds

The undersea world isn't as quiet as we thought, according to a New Zealand researcher who found fish can "talk" to each other.

Fish communicate with noises including grunts, chirps and pops, University of Auckland marine scientist Shahriman Ghazali has discovered according to newspaper reports Wednesday.

"All fish can hear, but not all can make sound -- pops and other sounds made by vibrating their swim bladder, a muscle they can contract," Ghazali told the New Zealand Herald.

Fish are believed to communicate with each other for different reasons, including attracting mates, scaring off predators or orienting themselves.

The gurnard species has a wide vocal repertoire and keeps up a constant chatter, Ghazali found after studying different species of fish placed into tanks.

On the other hand, cod usually kept silent, except when they were spawning.

"The hyopothesis is that they are using sound as a synchronisation so that the male and female release their eggs at the same time for fertilisation," he said.

Some reef fish, such as the damselfish, made sounds to attempt to scare off threatening fish and even divers, he said.

But anyone hoping to strike up a conversation with their pet goldfish is out of luck.

"Goldfish have excellent hearing, but excellent hearing doesn't associate with vocalisation -- they don't make any sound whatsoever," Ghazali said.

He was to present his findings to the New Zealand Marine Sciences Society conference on Wednesday.

Amazing jellyfish lake in Philippines

Philippines boasts of a lake full of jellyfish, offering to people from around the world a recreational spot.

With the sun’s first rays, Jellyfish Lake, located 550 miles east of the Philippines in the island nation of Palau, comes alive. As the sky brightens in the east, the golden jellies turn and swim toward a solar beacon.

Jellyfish Lake is one of the famous tourist attractions on the Pacific island of Eil Malk in Palau. This type of jellyfish is not dangerous for humans and tourists like to swim among them. Jellyfish Lake is one of Palau's most famous dive sites.

It is notable for the millions of golden jellyfish which migrate horizontally across the lake daily. Jellyfish lake is around 12,000 years old.

Women change 104 hairstyles during lifetime

Researchers found the typical female will have her hair layered, shortened or coloured twice a year between the ages of 13 and 65 – or 104 times in her life.

The main reasons for a shift in style are "boredom'" with their current look or the end of a relationship.

It also emerged the average female tries out three different colours over the years, while one in four experiments with up to five shades.

The statistics were uncovered in a report commissioned by award-winning hairdresser Andrew Collinge.

He said: "Women have always used their hair as a way of altering their appearance as it often has the greatest impact visually.

"My feeling is that women are changing their looks little and often rather than dramatic changes.

"For example, you can add modern texture without altering the length just by adding some layers or by drying and styling differently – think Jennifer Aniston.

"Hopefully, with the help and advice of their hairdresser they are making these smaller changes to a style which already suits them – hence reaching almost 100 styles.

"This could also be the impact of trends from the catwalk or celebrities, inspiring women to change their hair in the same way they may adopt a fashion trend.

"In my salons we certainly see women bringing in pictures of the latest look which inspires them."

The study of 3,000 women revealed 44 per cent changed their hair style or colour simply because they were bored, while 61 per cent admit they 'just wanted a change'.

Another 25 per cent did it to "reinvent" themselves while 38 per cent did it to feel more confident.

Sixteen per cent opted for a new cut or colour to mark a milestone birthday while 15 per cent treated themselves to a new look before or after giving birth.

Almost a third of women change styles or dye their hair following a relationship break-up or divorce, while 17 per cent did it to conceal grey hairs.

But the change is not always for the better, with almost three quarters of women admitting they regretted at least one of their hairstyles in the past.

Twelve per cent said they changed styles because they were getting too old to carry off their old look.

The study also found long hair with a fringe is the most popular hairstyle with 69 per cent adopting this look at some point in their lives.

Two thirds have styled their hair into a bob while 61 per cent have gone with long layers.

Short hair with a fringe, long curls and a perm are also popular choice of cuts over the years.

Dark brown is the colour of choice for 56 per cent of women who have modelled this tint, followed by a dark honey blonde hue.

Fifty-eight per cent also admitted they were planning to change their current style in the near future while 56 per cent said they would seek the advice of their hairdresser before taking the plunge.

The study also found one in ten women have even sported ten or more hues over their adult life.

Andrew Collinge added: "With our modern, everyday stresses and hectic lifestyles, often a restyle or a new colour is an effective and easy way to boost a woman's confidence.

"Also a new hair style can help a woman through a life-changing event, either by making them feel better about themselves after breaking up with a partner, or to celebrate reaching a big birthday."

Oksana Grigorieva Said She Got Restraining Order Before Mel Gibson Did

TMZ has learned it was Oksana Grigorieva who got a domestic violence restraining order against Mel Gibson, and not vice versa ... and she claims the actor was violent toward her.

We've learned Oksana's lawyers went to the family law court in downtown L.A. last Monday for an emergency hearing, and told the judge that Mel allegedly got violent with her -- two sources say Oksana claimed Mel was "extremely violent."

Sources tell TMZ the judge issued a restraining order prohibiting Mel from having any contact with Oksana. We're told the next day, Mel's lawyers went back to court and got the order modified so Mel could see their daughter.

We're told Mel also got a restraining order against Oksana, but only with respect to prohibiting her from releasing certain information.

A source connected with Mel Gibson scoffed at Oksana's allegations, claiming the alleged incidents occurred this past January and she traveled with him afterwards -- all over the world. As the source put it, "In these cases, when somebody cries wolf, the judge is mandated to assume there's a wolf, until a full hearing can be held."

A source connected with Oksana confirms the alleged violent incidents occurred in January, but added, "There were other acts after January that were not physical but still constituted domestic violence."

No more Mr. Nice Judges on 'So You Think You Can Dance'

Just when we were starting to think they were the nicest people on reality TV, the "So You Think You Can Dance" judges got a little feisty on Thursday night.

In Dallas, they accused Haylee, a girl who was trying out in memory of her late father, of having a "stank face" when she dances. "Stank face" got one more chance to loosen up, but in the end, she didn't make the cut. But stank face was Baryshnikov compared to the guy who auditioned on skates, aka "Scooter Rocket." Scooter Rocket described his style as "scooter style" and called "scooter rocket" "a way of seeing the world." Huh? Were we the only ones who had no idea what he was talking about? The judges actually laughed in his face and did not back down when Scooter tried to draw a connection between his style and the economy.

"This has nothing to do with the economy," guest judge Tyce Diorio said. Our thoughts exactly! Nigel even compared Scooter to "Clay Aiken's younger brother" — ouch!

Things picked up a bit with Nicole — and by up, we mean way up. Nicole had her hair piled high in a Marge Simpson-style bun, which oddly enough became a liability for her in the competition. Tyce went so far as to say she had the kind of talent that "comes along every 100 years" — but later, they needed to her perform again WITHOUT the bun to make a decision. Who knew that hair had such an effect on a person's dancing? Nigel got in another good line at the expense of Deroccius, whose routine to Britney Spears' "Toxic" was straight out of our step aerobics class. "You might make the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders," but you're not right for this show, he reasoned. Please, Nigel — we really don't want to see Deroccius in a miniskirt. Next up, a real-life Mafia princess. Gorgeous Marcella, the daughter of a convicted mobster, revealed that guys were too scared to date her in high school, even though she's a dead ringer for Shakira. We actually loved her audition, but the judges sent her to choreography, saying she needed to find her "passion" or Fuggedaboutit (yes, there were mobster jokes aplenty). Guest judge Toni Redpath got pretty hot and heavy over Jordan, a former addict who is now five years' clean. "You're not traditionally handsome, but your energy is sexy. I want to crawl over the table," she cooed. Down, girl!

Unfortunately for Toni — who is Scarlett Johansson's lookalike — Jordan had no ballroom dancing ability whatsoever. On to Tennessee, where the judges got even snarkier. Two Amish-looking BFFs did a Flamenco dance right out of the fourth-grade talent show, leading Nigel to quip, "You make dead people seem like party animals." All in all, 122 contestants made it to Vegas, a number that will be boiled down to five guys and five girls. Sarah, the "big dancer" from last week, is already out. Another guy from Queens, N.Y., "danced for his life" and now he's in. Ida, whose mother wasn't allowed to dance in Iran, is still in, but looks like there's trouble ahead for her next week. And a guy with painful scoliosis didn't make the cut but will appear on the show with his "crew" at some point.
