Harry Potter's Weasley twins: 'Haggling at Hong Kong markets helps with the jet lag'

Posted: 15 Jul 2011 03:00 AM PDT

The final instalment of the Harry Potter movie franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," opened this week in Hong Kong and the Weasley twins flew into town for the occasion.

We met with the 25-year-old twin actors James and Oliver Phelps who play Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter film series.

The boys wouldn't tell us on the record about the hilariously terrible pranks they play on the other stars of "Harry Potter" but they did divulge which stars' roles they would like to take over as well as some cheeky ways to get over jet lag.

Hong Kong's "Little Tony" is about to face his toughest acting gig yet: playing Harry Lee Kuan Yew in the movie "1965."

According to AsiaOne, Tony Leung Chiu Wai will play the role of hard-talking, take-no-prisoners, former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew (LKY).

The movie will be jointly-produced by Homerun pictures and We Pictures, and directed jointly by Hong Kong's Peter Chan and Singapore's Lee Thean-jeen.

Masterchef cooks up a storm above the Dalai Lama's head

The Dalai Lama's a fairly popular man in Australia. Thousands travel to see him whenever he speaks. But apart from being snubbed by the prime minister during his Australian visit, his guest appearance on "Masterchef" has caused a stir.

First, the Herald-Sun promoted the show by digitally-altering a photograph to show the "Masterchef" judges, including celebrity chef Matt Preston, pouring spaghetti over the Dalai Lama's head. Then a contestant on the show refused to address him by his title, "Your Holiness."

Bollywood relationships: A dummy’s guide to who’s whose

As someone who's lived on the fringes of Bollywood, I'm often asked by people who are fascinated by it to verify if Mumbai's leading hunk is indeed shticking it to his current leading lady.

I could be sitting in a fine dining eatery. In Madrid. About to delve in to a salmon lightly braised in lemon-dill sauce, when a Hermes and Pucci-clad heiress will get that slightly manic look that I instantly recognize, and ask me straight out if Ranbir Kapoor (who's reported to have more ex-lover notches on his belt than Carla Bruni,) is really, really having it off with X, Y or Z co-star.

Let's face it, as a subject of study Bollywood has never been as kitschy cool and coolly kitsch as it is right now.
