USTIN Bieber is back from the Bahamas! The 19-year-old singer stepped out in L.A. last night for a business dinner at Brentwood eatery Toscana with manager Scooter Braun and the Chief Executive Officer of Universal Records Lucian Grainge. The Biebs shared a photo from the trio’s meeting with the caption, “3 bosses.” In the pic, the “Boyfriend” singer flashes a giant smile while wearing a black baseball hat and a studded black shirt. J.B. also puts his arms around Braun and Grainge during the photo op. “#Repost - Great dinner tonight with @justinbieber and Mr. Grainge,” Braun also shared with the same Instagram photo. After their business dinner, Bieber was hounded by paparazzi while leaving the restaurant and heading to his van (and yes, again with the subtle crotch grabbing!). But surprisingly, Bieber was in the mood to answer some of the paps questions! One pap asked Bieber about his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, to which he answered, “Selena’s great. She’s great.” When asked about working with Miley Cyrus on their new song “Twerk,” he said, “She is great. She is great.” The final question? A pap asked Bieber who he’s working with next. “I’m going to collaborate with the world,” he answered. COuRTESy EO
than highlighting social issues. They said that most of the shots for the serial was recorded outdoor. The serial will be from 90 to 120 episodes in which 4 are already recorded and further recording will be taped upon popularity of these episodes, they added. The artists said local talents will be given chance to perform in these episodes. They said that they have presented a similar 26 episodes serial “Dusri Dunya” in 2001 which was well appreciated as it was aired
Twitter. However, Riddhi and Siddhi have rubbished claims that they called the actress mentally disturbed and insisted whatever is being said about them is untrue. “We are shocked to see this accusation from her. We would never stoop down to talk about anyone this way. We were glad that Kalki was sporting our garment on ramp as we think she is one of the best dressed style icon in Bollywood,” the duo said. “It was primarily a jewellery show and not a clothing one. She was supposed to walk with jewellery designers,” they added. The duo are miffed with Kalki for dragging them into this without checking the facts. “We do not need such kind of publicity by putting someone else down. The least Kalki could have done was to ask her agent to call us before putting matter on twitter,” Riddhi commented. “We need an officially apology on Twitter and other media about the same as she has been responsible for defaming us for no reason,” the duo said.

T looks like Trouble With the Curve star Clint Eastwood may be having a bit of trouble with his marriage. The 83-year-old Hollywood legend and Dina Eastwood, his wife of 17 years, have separated, Us Weekly reports. When E! News reached out for confirmation, the Oscar winner’s manager, Leonard Hirshan, said he “knows nothing about this. Clint is shooting a picture right now, unavailable to reach, he doesn’t have a press agent and that’s all I can tell you.” A source, however, does confirm that the couple has been living apart for some time. Clint and Dina, 48, mar-
ried in March 1996 and welcomed their daughter, Morgan, 9 months later. Dina, a former TV news anchor, costarred with Morgan on the E! reality series Mrs. Eastwood & Company in 2012. COuRTESy EO
anurag Kashyap looking at possible jail time i
T seems there is more trouble in store for ‘Bombay Velvet’. First it was the film’s budget that shot up by Rs 23 crore, thanks to the sinking INR and now the director has landed in legal tangles with the Service Tax Department. Anurag Kashyap will now have to leave the Sri Lanka shoot and fly down to Mumbai on September 3. With the director away, the shooting schedule, which was supposed to go on till November end, might suffer a setback and the film’s budget can further shoot up too. A team of officials from the Service Tax Department went to Kashyap’s Yari Road office on
August 26 and carried out a detailed investigation between 2 pm and 10.30 pm. A source close to the development told TOI, “He is guilty of Service Tax evasion to the tune of Rs 55 lakh. He should have paid this amount last year. Discrepancies have been noted in his private accounts.” Based on the irregularities found, the director was summoned to appear before the Service Tax Commission, which is headed by R Shekhar, on August 27. However, Kashyap sent his representative instead. On August 28 his bank accounts were frozen. According to sources, he has now asked time till Septem-
ber 3. Deputy Commissioner of Service Tax Department, SameerWankhede, who also visited the office for a brief super-
vision, said, “Yes, a case has been booked against Anurag. We are carrying out further investigations.” Explaining how a filmmaker can flout Service
Tax, the source explained, “There can be many ways he can cheat. For one, he can sell the film to a studio /corporate, charge Service Tax from them, and not pay the same to the government. It is a very serious offence.” A Service Tax official (on request of anonymity) said, “Section 89 of the Finance Act says that if you have not paid your service tax to the tune of Rs 50 lakh for a period of six months, the defaulter can face imprisonment for a period of seven years and it is a nonbailable offence. As of now, we have detected that Anurag has defaulted on over Rs 50 lakh. Probe is on.” COuRTESy TOI
