    SPL82611_027

    Steven Spielberg will make a TV documentary about the rebuilding of New York’s World Trade Center.

    The Science Channel will air the six-part documentary series in 2011 under the title Rebuilding Ground Zero. The twin towers at the site were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks.

    The series will make use of 3-D, time-lapse photography and other high-tech devices. It will seek to not only focus on the building effort but to honour the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the attacks.

    A 541m-high skyscraper is being rebuilt at the site, which has also doubled as a memorial landmark for the victims and their families. The skyscraper’s completion date is 2013. The series will also explore how the events around 911 affected the lives of New Yorkers.

    Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, “The rebuilding effort at Ground Zero is a compelling story of remembrance and renewal. The fact that Steven Spielberg – one of the great film-makers of our time – will produce a documentary on it ensures that the story will be brought to life for people around the world for generations to come.”

  • Rachel Weisz: Being a mum is just delicious

    SPL98940_012

    Actress Rachel Weisz has revealed that she is the happiest she has ever been since becoming a mum, and described motherhood as “just delicious”.

    The 39-year-old Oscar-winner, who has a three-year-old son Henry Chance with her director fiancé Darren Aronofsky, said: “It’s amazing and I’ve never been happier in my life. Being a mum is just delicious, and Henry is so scrumptious I could just eat him up.”

    The British actress, who plays a mother who falls apart after the murder of her daughter in new movie The Lovely Bones, said becoming a mother has made her more efficient.

    She said: “I’m sure a lot of mums say this but, oddly enough, I find I can get a lot more done since I had Henry.

    “You become better at managing your time. Suddenly, in 45 minutes, you can get twice as much done as you once did.”

    But despite her joy at becoming a mum, Weisz confessed that the demands of being a mother have made her want to pull her hair out at times.

    She said: “I think one of the things that mums aren’t allowed to talk about enough to one another… is the times when you’re pulling your hair out at home with the kids. Those moments when everything is crashing in and you just feel like you’re going to scream…”

    She added: “Because, even though children are the most precious things in the world, they are also set to test us. I think women are already stretched and pressured to be perfect and it kind of drives me crazy.”

  • Michael Jackson Will Forged

    Randy Jackson is saying that Michael Jackson’s will is a fake. Rumors persist that the King of Pop did not sign his will which was dated July 7, 2002 as the late singer was apparently across the country in New York and the document alludes to Los Angeles. Randy says that he can prove that Michael was in New York on that day, protesting against Sony exec Tommy Mottola as he was prejudice against African American artists. The lawyer for the Jackson estate, Howard Weitzman claims that witnesses to the will were present when Michael signed it but he would not verify if it was in LA.
