Trumpeter Ben Cauley, a member of the Stax Records group the Bar-Kays and the only survivor of the 1967 plane crash that killed most of his bandmates and Stax star Otis Redding, has died in Memphis. He was 67.
	Cauley's eldest daughter, Chekita Cauley-Campbell, said her father died late Monday at Methodist South Hospital. His death was first reported by The Commercial Appeal.
	While he has long been known as the sole survivor of the crash that killed Redding, Cauley was a survivor in many other ways.
	He had struggled with health issues for years, including a stroke he suffered in 1989, but he persevered through all of it and continued to play his trumpet.
	"He was just a real humble, debonair gentleman," Cauley-Campbell said. "He really loved his music. His music was really his life. He breathed music."
	Cauley was playing with the Bar-Kays while still attending high school at Booker T Washington High School in Memphis, his daughter said. When he was a senior he would be picked up at

Singer Ariana Grande says getting over ex-boyfriend Big Sean wasn't that hard.
	The 22-year-old "Problem" hitmaker, who split from the 28-year-old rapper in April after eight months of dating, is still friends with him, reported V magazine.
	"I'm good at making the best out of something. It also wasn't that hard for me, because we were friends. So it's chill," Grande said.
	The singer has since moved on with back-up dancer Ricky Alvarez, but doesn't want her relationships to overshadow her career.
	"I would prefer to be referred to as just Ariana. But then some people were being like, what a hypocrite, because now she has a new boyfriend. But they're still missing the point. It doesn't matter whether I'm on my own or not. Whatever I decide to do with my body, with my heart, and with my life, I can still be my own person," she said.

Actor Daniel Craig has been revealed as the booziest ever James Bond, after drinking 20 units of alcohol per movie.
	Ian Fleming's secret agent has always enjoyed his drinks, but according to a new study, the "Skyfall" star's version of 007 consumes far more alcohol than his predecessors, reported Daily Mirror.
	A study by The Grocer has shown that with an average of 20 units per movie over his appearances in "Quantom of Solace", "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall", Craig's Bond is well ahead of Pierce Brosnan (12), Sean Connery and Roger Moore (11 each).

"Fifty Shades of Grey" producer Dana Brunetti says that the movie's team is nowhere near casting, despite rumours that Henry Cavill is being eyed to play Dakota Johnson's new boss in the sequel.

	About the rumours, Brunetti said, "It's so insane. Somebody posts something on some obscure blog and then it gets picked up by something a little less obscure and it keeps going. Fans are starting the news by saying things like (the Cavill casting)."

A Bengali film "Babar Naam Gandhiji", about Mahatma Gandhi and modern society through the eyes of street boy, is set to hit the screens.
	The film is based around the boy named Kencho, who has an encounter with the Father of the Nation through a currency note with Gandhi ji's photo on it. The curious boy is adopted by an NGO and is taught the ideals of Gandhi ji.
	The film is being directed by Pavel. The role of the teacher of the boy is being played by leading Bengali actor Parambrata.
	"For us, Gandhiji has long ceased to exist beyond currency notes. We are ignorant about what he stood for and his renouncement of material comfort. The film, through the eyes of an innocent boy will seek to revisit Gandhi and modern society. It's a child's way of looking at ourselves," Parambrata said.
	Pavel maintains his film is not modelled on Rajkumar Hirani's hit Bollywood film "Lage Raho Munna Bhai".
	Asked what prompted him to take up the subject, the debutant director said, "Gandhi ji would ...

Actor Ranbir Kapoor may be going through a rough phase in his career but he hopes his former girlfriend, actress Deepika Padukone brings good luck for him and their upcoming film "Tamasha" does well.

	The movie centers on a young black man who visits his white girlfriend's family estate, reported Variety.

	Known more for his comedic talents, Peele, who was nominated for an Emmy for his Comedy Central comedy sketch show "Key & Peele", has tried his hands at darker material in the past, including a recurring role on the first season of the FX drama "Fargo".

Ali Salem, a famed Egyptian satirical writer whose works include one of the Arab world's most popular comedic plays, died in his home in Cairo of natural causes, Egypt's state-run Middle East News Agency said.
	The writer was 79 when he passed away yesterday.
	Salem's writings include 15 books and 25 plays. His most famous work was "School of the Troublemakers," a 1971 comedic play about a class of riotous teenagers reformed by a female teacher.
	Salem courted controversy by visiting Israel in 1994, travelling by himself without even telling his wife or three daughters. He drove a car across the border after Israel and the Palestinians signed the 1993 Oslo peace agreements.
	He said he had been thinking about visiting the country since late President Anwar Sadat made the trip in 1977, leading to Egypt's becoming the first Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel, in 1979.
