Lara Dutta has been roped in by Pizza Hut in the role played by Jessica Simpson elsewhere. The company is rolling out its brand across India with the help of its new Cheesy Bites pizza. “Cheesy Bites is a fun pizza and we wanted a fun campaign to promote it in India,” said Anup Jain, Marketing Manager. “Internationally the advertisement has been a big hit so we decided to give it a 'desi twist' with Lara."

Lara has recently returned from Cambodia where she had a holiday visiting the ancient temples of Angkor Wat. “People there are the nicest people I have ever interacted with,” she stated, “They’re simple, honest and hard working with great regard for tourists. The most beautiful sights are the temples dating back to as late as the 9th century – a timeless wonder to behold. The sense of awe looking up at such incredible beauty is almost indescribable.

Twitterverses: Ralph Macchio Passes Karate Kid Torch

15 June 2009 11:48 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

• The original king of wax-on, wax-off is awesomely humble. First Karate Kid Ralph Macchio offers Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith, his best as he prepares to start shooting the remake, and then he takes it a step further by making a My Cousin Vinny joke. "Just wrote young J Smith a good luck note as they head off 2 shoot. Felt very Obi-Wan to Skywalker. I'm no longer 1 of the '2 youts' haha." • People have been asking Ashton Kutcher to sound off on the elections in Iran and, to be honest, we're kind of glad he's only vaguely going there. "I think that truely the only people that can change things in Iran are the Iranians themselves and they seem to be speaking their minds...

Marisa vs. Miranda vs. Judy ~ 1992 Smackdown

31 May 2009 2:25 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

I regret to inform that I had to bow out of StinkyLulu's Supporting Actress Smackdown for 1992. I haven't participated in a long time and I had really hoped to. 1992's women offer a wealth of Oscar discussables and tropes: the wisecracking dame, the old biddy, the longsuffering spouse, the maligned winner, the nominee who maybe isn't being thanked for the performance she's nominated for but for her entire year, the Woody Allen player, Oscar's perceived anglophilia versus its perceived nationalism.

The nominees were:

Judy Davis, Husbands and WivesJoan Plowright, Enchanted AprilVanessa Redgrave, Howards EndMiranda Richardson, Damages

Marisa Tomei, My Cousin Vinny

My vote would have gone to Judy Davis (Husbands and Wives) and by quite a large margin. To drive the point home further, she is roughly tied with Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights) for my favorite supporting actress performance of the 1990s altogether. Unless you count Michelle's Catwoman (Batman Returns) as supporting.

You can take home the story of the most unlikely lawyer home in 1080p this August. My Cousin Vinny will be released on Blu-ray on August 4. We have no pricing details at this time, but you can take a look at the special features and cover art below. The film stars Joe Pesci, Rallph Macchio and Marisa Tomei, in her Oscar-winning role.

Two carefree pals (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield) traveling through Alabama are mistakenly arrested, and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a cousin who's a lawyer - Vincent Gambini (Joe Pesci, Lethal Weapon 3, Home Alone), a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who just passed his bar exam after his sixth try. Vinny's never been in court - or in Alabama - and when he arrives with his leather-clad girlfriend (Marisa Tomei in her Oscar winning Supporting Actress performance), to try his first case, it's a

Fox Suing Bollywood Film Studio For Allegedly Copying "My Cousin Vinny"

6 May 2009 2:48 AM, PDT | From icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news

20th Century Fox is suing a Bollywood production company for allegedly copying the 1992 comedy film "My Cousin Vinny."

The U.S. film studio has filed a suit at the Bombay High Court, accusing Br Films of copying the storyline and script of the American film to their "Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai" film.

Fox said that while they gave the Bollywood studio permission to use their film's idea for the basis of a new production, a Hindi remake was not allowed.

However, according to Br Films, their film was original because the characters and settings for their release were different, BBC reports.

Movie Bosses Sue Over Hindi My Cousin Vinny

6 May 2009 1:10 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Executives at 20th Century Fox have launched a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Bollywood filmmakers - accusing them of remaking 1992 film My Cousin Vinny without permission.

Fox bosses have filed a $1.9 million (£1.3 million) claim at India's Bombay High Court accusing officials at Br Films of producing an illegal remake of the Oscar-winning movie.

The legal papers state that Br Films had been granted permission to make a film based on the idea of the U.S. film - but rights for a Hindi-language remake had not been approved.

Fox chiefs claim the storyline of Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai (This Guy is Fearless) is identical to the original film and contains "substantial reproduction".

They are suing seeking damages and an injunction against the release of the Bollywood movie.

Officials at Br Films deny the claims.

Sanjay Dutt’s film may face copyright violation trouble?

3 May 2009 10:04 PM, PDT | From RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news

Just days back there was news about how Ravi Chopra is being sued by people at 20th Century Fox on the grounds of plagiarism and how Ravi’s under-production film Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai has many similarities to Fox’s Hollywood movie My Cousin Vinny Perhaps taking cue from it, now it seems now many other Hollywood studios are doing the same thing and trying to sabotage many Indian underproduction movies which bear similarities to their films from the west. The latest Bollywood film that is getting caught in the copyright violations imbroglio is the upcoming comic caper starring Sanjay Dutt and Amisha.

28 April 2009 12:29 AM, PDT | From BollywoodHungama | See recent BollywoodHungama news

Click above for more movie stills The film industry is abuzz with the news that Ravi Chopra's Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, starring Govinda, Lara Dutta and Sushmita Sen, is in deep trouble. Reportedly, 20th Century Fox has served a legal notice to Chopra for blatantly lifting the Hollywood film My Cousin Vinny and have demanded a compensation of Rs. 7 crores. True? Sanjay Bhutiani, the CEO of B.R. Films, doesn't deny the development. "We have the email correspondence by people in Los Angeles to make the film. We have it in writing," he says. But, reportedly, Fox is talking of plagiarism. "Well, our legal people are looking into it. We should be ready with a reply in a day or two," Bhutiani adds. With Hollywood studios issuing notices in trade magazines vis-à-vis the rights of their films, it's clear that they [the studios] are keeping a sharp eye on Bollywood.

'Ram' Dipping: Darren Aronofsky & Marisa Tomei on The Wrestler

21 April 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | From GreenCine | See recent GreenCine news

By Jeffrey M. Anderson

Darren Aronofsky, the director of mind-benders like Pi (1998), Requiem for a Dream (2000) and The Fountain (2006), and Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei, of My Cousin Vinny (1992), In the Bedroom (2001) and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) dropped by to discuss their latest film, The Wrestler, which is something of a departure for both of them. 

Mickey Rourke, winning rave notices for the film, stars as Randy 'The Ram' Robinson, a former superstar of 1980s still wrestling on a small-time circuit for tiny paychecks and little glory. Tomei plays Cassidy, a stripper, and his only true confidant over the years. (Both actors won San Francisco Film Critics Circle awards this week.) Rather than a high visual style, Aronofsky directs with a more documentary-like immediacy, and the result is an impressively rich character study, set in a unique, sad and fascinating world.

The Wrestler is now out on DVD.
