MUMBAI, India (AP) — A diamond heist, a Bollywood dance routine and Mike Tyson make an unlikely combination.
But the former heavyweight boxing champion is set to groove to Indian pop music in a promotional video for “Fool and Final,” an upcoming Bollywood comedy, the film’s media consultant said yesterday.
Tyson, 40, will shoot the promo in India, said N. Chattani, who is in charge of publicity for the movie’s producer, Firoze Nadiadwala.
“It’s finalised,” Chattani said. “Tyson will be shooting the music promo with the entire cast.”
Why Tyson? Aside from instant publicity, action hero Sunny Deol stars as a boxer in the film, directed by Ahmed Khan.
“The movie is a laugh riot, and the filmmakers thought Tyson would be great in the promo,” Chattani said.NEW YORK (AP) — Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has listed Eddie Murphy’s name on the birth certificate of her infant daughter, her publicist said yesterday.
The 31-year-old Brown, known as Scary Spice when she was in the megahit group of the ‘90s, gave birth to the child April 3 in Santa Monica, California.
Brown’s publicist, Nadine Bibi, didn’t immediately respond yesterday to an e-mail from The Associated Press asking for details.
Arnold Robinson, a spokesman for Murphy, declined comment.
Brown has said ex-boyfriend Murphy is the father. The 46-year-old “Dreamgirls” star has said he isn’t sure, while Brown has said there is “absolutely no question that Eddie is the father.”
Murphy has five children from his marriage to Nicole Mitchell Murphy.STATESBORO, Georgia (AP) — A woman who claims Chris Rock is the father of her child is withdrawing a lawsuit filed last month in Georgia and will refile it in New York, according to a published report.
Kali Bowyer claims the 42-year-old actor-comedian is the father of a child she had 13 years ago. The lawsuit filed in Bulloch County asked for child support, medical coverage and attorney fees.
Bowyer told the Statesboro Herald on Thursday she decided to refile the lawsuit in New York after consulting with her attorney, Brett Kimmel.
Bowyer claims she and Rock “were friends and we spent time together”.
Rock and his wife, Malaak, have been married for ten years. They have two young children and live in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
