Veteran actor Clint Eastwood has joined more than 100 Republicans in signing a legal brief addressed to the US Supreme Court to voice his opposition towards the ban of same-sex marriage.
	Six former governors, including Jon Huntsman of Utah and Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey, are also among those who signed the brief organized by AFER (American Foundation for Equal Rights), reported Ace Showbiz.
	The group is challenging California's Proposition 8 ban, which overturned same-sex marriage in 2012.
	"Gay marriage is actually in line with the Republican Party supporters' strong beliefs in family values, limited government and individual freedom.
	"It was better for children to grow up with married parents, and that legalizing same-sex marriage would ease couples' access to benefits and rights afforded to heterosexual couples but would pose no credible threat to religious freedom or to the institution of religious marriage," the brief states.

The Madras High Court will rehear after June a case relating to the certification of Tamil movie, the Vijay-starrer "Thuppakki".
	A division bench comprising justices R Banumathi and K K Sasidharan had earlier recalled its January 28 order directing the Centre to consider a plea for withdrawal of 'U' certificate to the already running film.

HC to rehear case on certification of 'Thuppaki' after June

Poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar and filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj have called on the Indian health ministry to re-invent their anti-smoking strategy with regard to films.
	"Films seem to be everyone's favourite whipping boy. This idea of having a caption on the screen every time an actor is seen smoking is immature and childish, and in fact futile.
	"More importantly, there should be stronger measures in place to ensure there are no cigarette shops near schools and colleges. The ban in public places needs to be enforced more strictly," Akhtar told PTI at a fundraiser here on Thursday in aid of the not-for-profit cancer hospital Tata Medical Centre.
	"Countries like the US have succeeded in making it so difficult to smoke in public that people have been forced to give up. Smoking on screen is not targeted in America, if the film demands it," he added.
	He was joined by wife and actress Shabana Azmi, who was the key narrator of a musical show titled 'Uff Yoo Maa', which helped raise nearly ...

Bollywood stars descended here to celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema and help raise nearly 150,000 pounds in aid of the Tata Medical Centre in Kolkata.
	Actresses Waheeda Rehman, Shabana Azmi and lyricist Javed Akhtar came together for a musical evening in aid of the not-for-profit cancer hospital based in West Bengal.
	"What drew me to this particular cause was that 50 per cent of the care at the Tata Medical Centre is intended for the under-privileged and those who can't afford the high costs of treatment. And, most importantly, this is not less care in any sense. It is the same for all classes," said Azmi.
	"I am always ready to be part of a good cause, especially cancer. It is important that there is greater awareness about it and maybe it is time to make films which reflect survivors as heroes," added Rehman.
	The event, branded 'Uff Yoo Maa!' in reference to a classic 1960s Bollywood song, included an exhibition of vintage film posters and medleys dating backing to the early ..
