Actor Zoe Kravitz says she has had  to "pull" her friend Cara Delevingne away from people on  night-outs because of the model-turned-actor's fiery temper.
The "Big Little Lies" star says loves hanging out with  Delevingne but admits that her temper can get them into  trouble, reports Vogue magazine.
"Cara? That girl is the bomb. She's fiery, she might be  more fiery than I am. I've had to pull her off people," says  Kravitz.
The 28-year-old actor says she can also get a little  angry, which sometimes offends fans.
"I have a fiery side. I can be confrontational. Like,  it's nice to meet you but if I'm having a bad day or I'm  eating a burrito on my way back from the gym and you're not  aware of my space and not treating me like a real person,  then, 'No, I don't want a photo with you' doesn't mean I'm an  a******," she says.

Fergie says pop diva Beyonce  inspires her performance in every possible way.
The "Big Girls Don't Cry" singer says her music is quite  different from that of Beyonce's and there should be no  comparisons, reports Entertainment Tonight.
"(My album) is completely different than Beyonce's  ('Lemonade'), but absolutely, she's an inspiration to me in  all areas. Performance, drive, balance - I mean, she is the  Queen B. How can you not be inspired by her?" says Fergie.
The 42-year-old singer says she took hints and tips from  Beyonce when she released her own visual album 'Double  Dutchess'.
"Beyonce, of course, paving the way, Justin Bieber doing  his version, having Parris (Goebel) choreograph and all the  dancers... It keeps it interesting. It used to be, back in the  day, you'd do one video, because you're waiting for a video  channel to play that video, but now, on cell phones,  everywhere, in iPic (theatres), you can go see everything, so  why not make it a visual feast and a visual

Former censor board chief Pahlaj  Nihalani believes he was removed from the top post because of  lobbying  not in favour of the Central Board of Film  Certification (CBFC) but against him.
To bolster his argument, Nihalani said no objections were  raised now when the board asked directors to make cuts in  their films.
"Even after my exit, the functioning of the CBFC is still  the same; films are still getting cuts as the guidelines are  the same even today. But there is no noise about the number of  cuts and no one is calling the CBFC 'sanskari' today," he  said, referring to allegations of moral policing that he faced  while he held the office.
"The lobbying was against me and not the CBFC," Nihalani  told PTI.
The government last month replaced Nihalani with  songwriter-adman Prasoon Joshi.
According to the reports, under the chairmanship of  Joshi, the makers of "Love Sonia" were asked to make 45 cuts  in the film starring Freida Pinto and Richa Chadha. The board  reportedly ...

Shah Rukh Khan may have learnt  acting nuances from Barry John but the acting guru said he  does not want to take any credit for creating the superstar.
In an session at the Jagran Film Festival here, John  said, "I didn't create Shah Rukh Khan and I take no credit for  that."
When asked why does he feel that way, specially since  Shah Rukh trained under him in the 80s before he attained  stardom, Barry said in an interview, "It's a fact. We came  together, we worked in theatre together for a while. It was  mostly enjoyable and beneficial to both of us. But then he  moved on, he is on another planet now. I don't have any  communication with him."
Barry has been a teacher to several Bollywood stars  including Manoj Bajpayee, Frieda Pinto, Richa Chadha, Arjun  Kapoor, Varun Dhawan among others.
Barry says the young actors today have different  aspirations but there is nothing wrong in that.
"We dislike change. We love the status quo. Change  implies insecurity. But it is a fact that the

Legendary director Mel Brooks  said Hollywood today cannot think of making a film like 1974's  "Blazing Saddles" as the people have become "stupidly  politically correct".
The 91-year-old filmmaker discussed the culture of being  politically correct and said that it is slowly leading to the  death of comedy, reports Variety.
"No, no, I mean maybe 'Young Frankenstein'. Maybe a few.  But never 'Blazing Saddles', because we have become stupidly  politically correct, which is the death of comedy," Brooks  said in a recent BBC Radio 4 interview.
The director emphasised that comedy has to walk a fine  line when trying to create laughter, without hurting the  sentiments of people belonging to different ethnicities.
Citing example of the Holocaust, he said, "I personally  would never touch gas chambers or the death of children or  Jews at the hands of the Nazis. Everything else is okay."
Containing numerous racial slurs, "Blazing Saddles" was a  Western spoof about an African-American sheriff
