Warner Bros. Pictures and Wide Frame films launched the official website of their forthcoming light hearted comedy Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? yesterday, at Novotel Hotel, Juhu.

"'I have my mom,'" agent Dave Baden recalled Rochette saying to him at the time. "'At this point, I know what to do, and I have my mother.'"

"She's been training for this all her life, so the only thing she needed to get to that next level was the strength she got from her mother," Baden said.

That strength, he said, is helping her pull through the Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, even though her mother is now gone.
Therese Rochette died Sunday of a heart attack in Vancouver at age 55, Canadian Olympic officials said. Joannie Rochette opted to stay in the games, and two days later stirred a crowd with a courageous performance that earned the third best score in the women's short program.

On Thursday, the 24-year-old will finish her drive for her first Olympic medal during the free skate program at Pacific Coliseum.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- The Canadian team of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir put together a flawless program Monday that was rewarded with a gold medal in Olympic ice dancing.Russian and Soviet skaters had dominated this event since it became a part of the Olympics in 1976, but Virtue and Moir broke through after finishing second and third in the world championships the last two years.

That gave them a point total for the three nights' work of 221.57.The only other winners of this event from outside Russia or the Soviet Union have been Britain's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in 1984 and France's Marina Arissina and Gwendal Peizerat eight years ago.

1952 – In Dhaka, East Pakistan (present Bangladesh) police open fire on a procession of students that was demanding the establishment of Bengali as the official language, killing four people and starting a country-wide protest which led to the recognition of Bengali as one of the national languages of Pakistan. The day was later declared as "International Mother Language Day" by UNESCO.

Bangla Language Day, popularly known as Ekushe (21) February, is one of the most significant days, not in Bangladesh only, but in human history because on that day the valiant Bangalee boys gave their lives to defend their sweet mother tongue, Bangla language. Over the centuries people gave their lives for love, faith, freedom, nation and the state. But on 21 February 1952, ever in history, a bunch of young Bangalee students gave their lives in a protest rally at the Dhaka university campus against the Pakistani authority’s attempt to impose Urdu (as the state language of Pakistan) over the 70 million Bangalees of East Bangla (then East Pakistan).

It's the overarching question here Saturday when Danica Patrick, who gained fame as a driver of sleek Indy-style cars, makes her debut driving 3,000-pound stock cars.With the full force of her promotional machine behind her, Patrick starts 12th Saturday in a 43-car race in the ARCA Series at the high-banked Daytona International Speedway.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- For a few minutes, at least, Danica Patrick had the fastest qualifying time for her Daytona debut. It didn't last very long. Patrick briefly held pole position early in Friday's ARCA qualifying session, eventually falling to 12th as other drivers posted faster speeds.

The IndyCar star will make her widely anticipated stock car debut today -- and, as her crew chief noted, at least she's starting close enough to the front to see the pace car.For fans and fellow competitors, it will be the first real chance to see whether Patrick has the potential to replicate her IndyCar success behind the wheel of a stock car.That helps, but there's really no way to simulate the tension of racing at high speeds in a tight pack or the complexities of working in the draft -- tailgating the car in front of you to avoid wind resistance -- to zigzag through the field.No. 3 returning: The famed No. 3 is returning to Daytona International Speedway, and without an Earnhardt behind the wheel.

Austin Dillon, a grandson of Richard Childress, is bringing one of NASCAR's most prominent numbers back to the sport's most storied track.

Dillon will race a black No. 3 in next week's Camping World Truck Series season opener at Daytona. He will be the second to drive a car with the number that essentially has been retired since Dale Earnhardt's death on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove a blue No. 3 Chevrolet in the Nationwide race in February 2002, and he took it to Victory Lane.

The 20-year-old Dillon knows the history of the number well, since he grew up watching the Earnhardts turn the 21/2 -mile, high-banked track into their personal stomping ground. The trucks are expected to be instrumental in mobilizing food and supplies in Haiti.

NASCAR team owner Roger Penske, chairman of Penske Corp., called the tragedy in Haiti "almost unimaginable.

Lady Antebellum's second album, "Need You Now," crashes in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 481,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the biggest debut sales week for any album since Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" bowed atop the list with 701,000 in November, and the best for a country album since Taylor Swift's "Fearless" opened at No. 1 on the Billboard with 592,000 copies in Nov. 2008.Lady Antebellum's self-titled first album debuted and peaked at No. 4 with 43,000 in its opening week back in May of 2008. This week, in the set's 94th week on the chart, it climbs one spot to No. 15 with 31,000 (up 32%).
The eye-popping sum racked by Lady A's "Need You Now" is also the biggest opening week for an album released in January since the Game's "The Documentary" bowed with 587,000 at No. 1 in 2005. Traditionally, January isn't packed with albums that earn blockbuster debut weeks, as most of the big guns come out in time for the busy November-December holiday shopping season. But for the Capitol Nashville set, all the stars have seemingly aligned.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Peyton Manning is about to become the best quarterback in the NFL over the past 30 years. I know that may ruffle feathers from San Francisco to New England, but hear me out.
The topic of Manning's place in history has heated up in the wake of the Colts punching their ticket to another Super Bowl. While everyone agrees Manning already is among the NFL's greatest QBs and that his stature will only improve if he gets an a second Lombardi Trophy, few are ready to take the big leap I am. Here are the reasons I think Manning, with a win Sunday, will cement his place as the best to play the game in my lifetime.

The only two men who really challenge Manning, again assuming he wins Sunday, are Joe Montana and Tom Brady. Both were incredible leaders who put up astounding numbers at times while seemingly willing their teams to multiple Super Bowl titles. Montana may have been the most clutch performer ever; his postseason success is almost unprecedented. He did, however, play in an era before the advent of free agency and the salary cap. That's not his fault, of course, but it does help explain why he accomplished what he did, benefitting from immensely talented rosters that other teams couldn't raid.

I had the chance to play with Brady and never played with any other quarterback who was even close to his skill level. But Brady's injury, and Manning's continued dominance, have me thinking Peyton Manning is the better quarterback. He used to have issues with 3-4 defenses -- that is why his playoff record hasn't been sterling -- but he appears to have figured it out, shredding both blitz-heavy schemes and 3-4s at an amazing rate this year. The scary thing is he really appears to be getting better. That means there is a chance two or three years from now this subject is not even up for discussion.

The 'We Are The World' remake is in full force. DimeWars research staff has counted up to 80 different celebrities participating in the event. But this inevitably leads to an interesting question. Where will the money go? One of Lionel Richie's managers was recently asked that very question:All my executives and staff that are here are working for nothing," said Randy Phillips, the CEO of AEG Live and Richie's manager. (AEG Live underwrote much of the operational costs for the recording of the track, as did Visa.) "No one's making any money. This is strictly a charitable event. We want as much as possible, if it's 99 percent, to go to charity. That's what we want to happen here. What we're going to do is we've formed a charitable foundation called the "We Are the World" Foundation LLC. The money will go [to the foundation] as a pit stop, and then it will be distributed. There's a board that's going to decide where it goes," he said. "And on that board is Quincy and ['Crash' director] Paul Haggis and Luis Alberto Moreno, who runs the [Inter-American] Development Bank.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Dr. Conrad Murray expects to surrender to Los Angeles authorities this week on charges relating to the death of Michael Jackson, his lawyer said Tuesday.
"Dr. Murray is more than ready to surrender and answer to any charges," attorney Ed Chernoff said.
Prosecutors have not announced any charges, however, and Murray has not been told how or where he should surrender, according to Miranda Sevcik, spokeswoman for Murray's legal team.
Murray traveled to Los Angeles from his home in Houston, Texas, last week in anticipation of possible charges, which he expects to be announced within 24 to 48 hours, Sevick said.
Murray was hired to be Jackson's personal physician last spring as the entertainer prepared for his comeback concerts set for London, England, starting in July.
The doctor told Los Angeles Police investigators that he was with Jackson through the early morning hours of June 25 in an effort to help the pop star fall asleep, according to a police affidavit.Murray told investigators he had given Jackson three anti-anxiety drugs to help him sleep in the hours before he stopped breathing, a police affidavit said.
Murray had been treating Jackson for insomnia for six weeks at the time of the singer's death. He told investigators he gave Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol, the generic name for Diprivan, diluted with the anesthetic lidocaine every night via an intravenous drip.
Murray told police he was worried that Jackson was becoming addicted to the drug and tried to wean him off it.
During the two nights before Jackson's death, Murray said, he put together combinations of other drugs that succeeded in helping Jackson sleep.
