Selena Gomez 'terrified' to trust Justin Bieber?

London: Singer Selena Gomez is reportedly "terrified" about trusting ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber again after the pair were seen getting close.

The 23-year-old "Same Old Love" hitmaker is not sure Bieber, 21, will be "exclusive" with her, reported Female First.

"Selena is still in love with Justin, but as exciting as it is for them to be back together, she's terrified to trust her heart again because he's hurt her so many times," a source said.

"Justin has this belief that Selena's cool with him hooking up with other women and that they don't need to be exclusive. She may say it's OK, but in reality it tears her apart to know he's seeing other girls."

'San Andreas' built to entertain, not traumatise: Director

New Delhi: "San Andreas" director Brad Peyton says that as a filmmaker he is sensitive towards the recent Nepal earthquake, but his forthcoming action-adventure-disaster film, about a devastating quake, is "built to entertain first" and not to traumatise people.

"San Andreas", which will hit Indian screens in Hindi and English on May 29, tells the story of a search and rescue helicopter pilot Ray (Dwayne Johnson) who must navigate through the destruction from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save his daughter after the San Andreas fault line triggers an earthquake of magnitude 9. 

"I feel like we respected the subject matter, we respected (the fact that) a sensitive earthquake had happened... and as a filmmaker, I'm very sensitive to that. I don't want to, you know, make this a traumatic event for people,” Peyton said in a statement, about the fact that the film is releasing barely a month after the Nepal catastrophe.

The director says his movie tells “an entertaining story”.

“I'm here to scare you in some ways, but in a very safe environment and again the focus is on the characters of this world and this story. So it's a sensitive subject matter because it's real, but I think our movie is a built to entertain first. 

"And second of all, the tone of the movie is actually very sensitive to the fact that earthquakes are real," Peyton added.

The film also stars Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario and Paul Giamatti -- apart from Johnson.
 

I am a fan of Tom Hanks: Al Pacino

London: Al Pacino has revealed he has once written a fan mail to Tom Hanks. Pacino, 75, who takes on a role a little out of his comfort zone with "Danny Collins", said he liked the script because it reminded him of the kind of movie that Hanks would get involved with, reported Contactmusic.

"I like the idea that Danny was someone who was a bit fragile in a way. Tom Hanks, who I'm a big fan of, I think he's a great actor - I've written him fan mail - I thought this is an opportunity for me to play my first Tom Hanks role. It's inspiring, it inspired me," Pacino said.

The film is a biographical movie about an up and coming musician inspired by John Lennon, who later receives a letter from his hero some 40 years after it was actually written.

The actor admitted that while playing the role his confidence was sometimes lacking.

"When a director really wants you to play this part, you have to say, 'Okay already, alright, I'll do it!' I did that with 'The Godfather', believe it or not'... I didn't know what he saw in me as Michael Corleone but he was so adamant," he added. "Danny Collins" will hit theatres on May 29.

We all go through periods of being happy or sad, but certain people are just happy or angry or what have you. Riley is one of those happy kids," he added.
