Pop star Christina Aguilera's duet with late singer Whitney Houston's hologram on the season finale of US talent show "The Voice" has been scrapped.
	Aguilera had already recorded the duet with the image of the deceased star.
	Pat Houston, the executor of Whitney's estate, said the hologram in its present form is simply too low-tech for the family to allow it appear on a primetime broadcast, reported Entertainment Tonight.

Speaking about the sexism that she has experienced in showbiz, actress-singer Jennifer Lopez says women are expected to be more well-behaved than men or they earn a monikar of being a diva.
	Lopez says there have been times when she has struggled to voice her opinion and at times she was made to feel that she was acting difficult whereas boys would get away with things far worse.
	"I've always been fascinated by how much more well behaved we have to be than men. I did get a moniker of being a diva, which I don't deserve.
	"We are not allowed to have certain opinions or be a certain way, or be passionate," she said during an actresses roundtable with the Hollywood Reporter.
	Despite her star influence, Lopez said she still feels "sometimes crippled to voice (her) opinion," due to the industry's boys club.

Naseeruddin Shah feels Anurag Kashyap's "greed" to work with stars and make a big-budget movie made him shift his focus from niche films he was doing to direct "Bombay Velvet".
	Kashyap started his career with much acclaimed "Black Friday" and went on to helm projects like "Dev D", "Gulaal", "Gangs of Wasseypur", "Ugly", which were not exactly blockbusters but helped the director get a devoted audience base.
	Shah says he fails to understand why filmmakers like Kashyap all of sudden feel the need to do away with the cinema they believe in for a star-driven project.
	When asked if it was pressure which drove Kashyap to make the Ranbir Kapoor-Anushka Sharma starrer, Shah said, "No pressure, it was greed which drove Anurag Kashyap to make that wretched film 'Bombay Velvet'. It has happened to them all.
	"They claim they need a wider audience. Why do you suddenly need a wider audience? When you started off you didn't need a wider audience. You were catering the niche. Now why do you need .
