Former soccer star David Beckham claims James Bond influenced his new swimwear range.
	Beckham, 39, who has launched his first collection of swimming trunks for the high street brand, said Sean Connery in the first ever Bond film of 1962 inspired him to create the new line, reported Contactmusic.
	"Sean Connery in 'Dr No' was definitely on the reference board when we started. Old bond movies were a big reference. I have a great relationship with H&M and we're always looking for something else we can be successful in.
	"The bodywear range has been great since the launch in 2012, so when the swimwear idea came up, we were all over it. The board shorts are something I think will go down well - everyone likes a comfortable pair of shorts. Not everybody likes the tight ones," he said.
	Beckham, who has children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 11, Cruz, nine, and two-year-old daughter Harper with his wife Victoria, said board shorts are a big part of the collection.
	"I've never been allowed to ...

He was the prince who helped make the Rolling Stones as rich as kings.
	Prince Rupert Loewenstein, the band's former business manager, helped the Stones churn their musical talent into mountains of gold. He died Tuesday at age 80 in a London hospital after suffering from Parkinson's disease, friend Hugo Vickers said today.
	The Oxford-educated aristocrat-whose full name was Prince Rupert Ludwig Ferdinand zu Loewenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg - advised the Stones for almost four decades beginning in 1968.
	He was introduced to Mick Jagger by a mutual friend at a time when the Stones were eager to extricate themselves from their relationship with American manager Allen Klein.
	"Rupert was a merchant banker, very pukka, trustworthy," Keith Richards said in his autobiography "Life" - and he proved invaluable to the band.
	Loewenstein saw the Stones through their labyrinthine legal dispute with Klein, masterminded their year of tax exile in the south of France in the 1970s and oversaw their .

Stiff competition among technology giants for a share of the burgeoning online music streaming market has given traditional record companies a much-needed boost, a top Universal executive said today.
	Industry behemoths such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are increasingly seeking to provide for tech-savvy consumers willing to pay to stream their favourite tunes.
	With legal music downloads declining, this is a shot in the arm for the record companies representing major artists, Max Hole of Universal told a conference in Singapore.
	"In the past a lot of the tech companies were not very respectful of music," Hole, who heads Universal Music Group's international business, told the Music Matters conference.
	"Now the competition for eyeballs for their services and attention is really game-changing.
	"You've got real competition between all the tech giants, and they are very interested in us as owners of music."

Frenchman Julien Columeau came to Pakistan at the age of 30 as a humanitarian worker - but a knack for languages and love for books have made him one of the country's most innovative Urdu novelists.
	Writing mainly historical fiction with a prose described as vivid and forceful, critics say that Columeau, now 41, has injected fresh life into a scene considered to have grown stale.
	His works have featured at the country's most prominent literature festivals with three novels published and more in the pipeline.
	Originally from Marseilles, Columeau left France to study Hindi in India in 1993, but quickly grew disillusioned with the "clerical" form of the language he was being made to learn, and switched to Urdu two years later.
	"I learnt it on my own - by then I was conversant in Hindi so there was a book which was about how to transliterate Urdu to Hindi," he told AFP.
	"Then I was practising my reading. After about one year I was able to read books," he said.
	He later moved to ...

     Judge V M Mohite asked Tiwari to furnish a cash bond of Rs 20,000.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha says it is the quality of a role that attracts her towards a project and not the clothes that she is required to wear in the film.
	The 26-year-old actress has often been at the receiving end of the critics for her ethnic look in films like ''R... Rajkumar', 'Dabangg' and 'Rowdy Rathore' among others.
	Sonakshi, who reunites with her 'Rowdy Rathore' co-star Akshay Kumar in the upcoming film 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty', will be seen playing an urban girl, which is quite different from her village belle avatars.
	The A R Murugadoss directed film is slated June 6.
	Sonakshi, however, says clothes are the least important thing when it comes to accepting a film.
	"I never see the clothes that I am going to wear in a film over the role and character that I play. This character happened to be an urban girl and I liked the script and role when I saw the Tamil film. It was different and intelligent and that is why I signed for it," Sonakshi said.
