Tamil superstar Dhanush, who is married to Rajnikanth's, says being the son-in-law of the iconic actor has not helped or affected him.
	Dhanush got married to Rajnikanth's daughter Aishwarya in 2004.
	"Being his son-in-law doesn't do anything to me actually. I have always done my own work. It (his name) neither helped me nor affected me," Dhanush said in an interview here.
	He says it's not worth comparing his work with his father-in-law as their styles of working are quite different.
	"My choice of films are different. My method of acting is completely different from his. So there is no room for comparison. And comparing a 20-25 films old guy with an icon is absolutely rubbish," he said.
	Dhanush is entering Bollywood with 'Raanjhanaa', but has not discussed about the film with his father-in-law. "To be very honest he has been very busy with his work while I've been with mine. We haven't spoken about this film yet," he said, adding he never discusses work with his dad-in-law.

Singer Peter Andre is glad his children aren't spoiled.
	The 40-year-old 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker, who has two children, Junior, seven, and Princess Tiaamii, five, with ex-wife Katie Price, says he works hard to ensure his offspring understand the value of money, reported Contactmusic.
	"The important thing is, they're not brats. They're very polite and they know where to draw the line. Yes, they can be cheeky, as all kids are, but they're good children. They know money doesn't grow on trees," he said.
	Andre said he was careless with his own fortune when he hit the big time as a musician, once purchasing himself a lavish car, and he hopes Junior and Tiaamii don't follow in his footsteps.
	"I didn't save. I was irresponsible. I didn't care. My dad once said to me, 'One day you're going to learn that you need to respect money and respect what you've got.'
	I bought a black convertible BMW M3 in Beverly Hills. I remember driving it out of the showroom and feeling on top of the world. .

	"I am very, very surprised she would attempt to hurt herself. I feel very sad, not only for Paris - because she must be in a very agitated and depressed state - but also for Michael's mother, Katherine, who has been doing a pretty good job looking after those kids," the 54-year-old former child actor said.

Paris Jackson reportedly 'hates' pop sensation Justin Bieber because he failed to respond to messages from several young female fans, who threatened to harm themselves.

	Meanwhile, Paris is likely to stay in a treatment facility to undergo intense therapy for the next few

'The Hurt Locker' star Jeremy Renner says he hasn't always been cool and used to get teased for not being part of the surfer crowd when he was younger.
	The 42-year-old actor might be one of the most in-demand action stars in Hollywood now, but things weren't always so easy for him growing up, reported Contactmusic.
	"I grew up in California and Hawaii, but I don't surf or smoke weed, so everybody considered me a weirdo, which I probably am," he said.
	'The Avengers' star is very secretive about his love life, and he said he would rather be committed to his film roles than a woman until he's sure she's the right one for him.
	"I'm married to my career and for now that's the only kind of commitment I'm planning to have ... Coming from a family with many divorces, I vowed not to make the same mistakes," he said.

'Glee' star Matthew Morrison is hoping to join forces with his new music label boss Adam Levine and record a pop song.

Actor Henry Cavill, who was the runner-up for James Bond's role, says Daniel Craig was a far better choice than him.
	The 'Man of Steel' actor was upset at missing out on the part after getting down to the final audition but said 45-year-old Daniel, who has portrayed the iconic charter in 'Casino Royale', 'Quantum of Solace' and 'Skyfall', has been fantastic in the role, reported Contactmusic.
	"When I wasn't selected for Bond, I was very disappointed.
I'd turned down a leading role in '300' because it was down to Daniel Craig and me, and auditioning for Bond took all my focus.
	"The choice was between a younger Bond and one closer to his 40s, which is to say, Daniel Craig. But I've seen what Daniel did and I think the Bond producers made the right choice. He's fantastic," Cavill said.
	Cavill has since landed the role of Superman, a part he missed out on when he auditioned for the 2006 movie 'Superman Returns', for 'Man of Steel', and is hoping he can afford to be more selective when
