Woman killed as Bruce Jenner crashes car in US paparazzi chase
LOS ANGELES - Olympic decathlon star and former stepfather to the Kardashian clan Bruce Jenner was involved in a car crash Saturday that killed one and injured several others, though he was unharmed, TMZ reported. The deadly accident took place on the Pacific Coast Highway in the Los Angeles metro area while Jenner was being chased by paparazzi, according to the gossip news website. The 65-year-old has Americans’ rapt attention amid talk that he is soon to come out as transgender. Jenner was driving a large SUV and was being trailed by at least five paparazzi when he collided with a white car that then swerved into oncoming traffic, TMZ reported. The
driver of the white car died. Citing unnamed law enforcement sources, TMZ said four vehicles were involved in the crash and that eight people were injured. Jenner was pictured at the scene standing upright with no obvious injuries and was driven away in a police cruiser following the accident. People magazine, a trusted conduit for Hollywood publicists, has reported that the motivational speak-

er turned reality TV star would open up on his gender in a forthcoming interview with ABC News. Jenner became an American sports hero when he set a world record with his Montreal decathlon victory in 1976. But it was through his marriage to the former Kris Kardashian that he once again became a household name in the reality TV series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” in which he appeared as the sometimes bemused stepfather of her flamboyant daughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe, and their younger girls Kendall and Kylie. The couple recently divorced. Speculation that Jenner is undergoing a sex change has been rich fodder for supermarket tabloids for months. Paparazzi photos from Los Angeles have captured him with shaved limbs, long hair worn in a ponytail and what appears to be a sports bra under a T-shirt. In late January, Jenner was seen emerging from a Beverly Hills clinic with a bandage around neck, presumably after surgery to flatten his Adam’s apple. (afp)
Brad Pitt to star in Robert Zemeckis romantic thriller
NEW YORK — Brad Pitt will star in a romantic thriller to be directed by Robert Zemeckis for Paramount Pictures. The studio announced the untitled film on Friday, revealing scant details of the plot but calling it a “sweeping” epic. The screenplay is by Steven Knight, who
penned “Eastern Promises” and recently directed the acclaimed indie “Locke.” The film marks a continued run of live-action dramas for Zemeckis, the director of “Forrest Gump,” the “Back to the Future” films and “Cast Away.” After a series of animated movies last
decade, Zemeckis made 2012’s “Flight” with Denzel Washington and is currently in post-production on “The Walk,” about high-wire artist Philippe Petit. Pitt recently finished shooting “By the Sea” with his wife Angelina Jolie, who also directed the marital drama. (ap)
‘Birdman’ filmmaker wins top prize at Directors Guild Awards
LOS ANGELES - After taking top honors from the acting and producing guilds, the film about a washed-up Hollywood actor played by Michael Keaton won the top prize at the Directors Guild Awards. “Birdman” writer-director Alejandro Inarritu was honored at Saturday’s ceremony with the prize for outstanding directional achievement for a feature film, giving Inarritu and possibly “Birdman” an edge ahead of the Academy Awards. “If this is considered a great film, it has nothing to do with me,” said Inarritu speaking about the difficulties of making movies as he accepted his award. “It is a miracle.” The guild dispenses awards to directors in TV and movie categories in what’s customarily a final calling for the film that goes on to win the best director trophy and possibly best picture at the Oscars. Inarritu flew past Richard Linklater (“Boyhood”), Wes Anderson (“The Grand Budapest Hotel”), Morten Tyldum (“The Imitation Game”) and Clint Eastwood (“American Sniper”) to win the film directing trophy. They’ll face off again Feb. 22 for the best director Oscar, except for Eastwood who was not nominated. Instead, “Foxcatcher” filmmaker Bennett Miller is up for that honor at the Academy Awards. Several of the evening’s prizes went to female directors: Jill Soloway for the TV comedy “Transparent,” Lisa Cholodenko for the TV movie/

DENPASAR – The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali noted that Bali’s economy grew 6.72 percent in 2014. This figure is a slight increase from the figures of 2013 that showed a 6.69 percent economic growth. The inflation rate reached 8.43 percent at the end of last year, and the delayed absorption of the local government budget was alleged to have contributed to the slowdown in the economic growth of the Island of the Gods. “In the fields of business, the service sector and social activities there was a 12.43 percent increase. While administration increased 10.75 percent and education service, 10.58 percent. Public expenditure for official travel in November caused a decrease in the absorption of both the national and regional budgets from IDR 5.2 trillion in 2013 to IDR 4.53 trillion in 2014.
Therefore, if this years budget can be absorbed earlier it would be a great stimulus for much needed economic growth”, said Panusunan Siregar, Head of BPS Bali, According to Siregar, the highest growth occurred in the field of health services and social activities accounting for 12.43 percent and in the field of business with Bali’s food and beverage as well as accommodations
contributing 23.08. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries accounted for 14.64 percent, with transportation and warehousing contributing 9.08 percent to the economy. “The provision of accommodations as well as food and beverage increased the most from the previous year at a rate of 1.27 percent. This was followed by the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors
that grew by 0.72 percent. And finally wholesale and retail trade and motor-vehicle repairs that grew by 0.63 percent”, he explained. It was mentioned the elevated growth seen in the accommodation and food and beverage sectors was clearly due to the 15 percent increase in tourist arrivals to Bali last year. “Between the third and fourth quarters of 2014, Bali’s economy grew by 1.83 percent, compared to the 7.88 percent growth seen in the fourth quarter of 2013”, he said. He explained, that in terms of spending, the cumulative economic growth of Bali in the fourth quarter
of 2014 reached 6.72 percent but did not occur in all sectors. Government expenditure and changes in inventory were reflected in this decline. The 7.36 contraction of government consumption expenditure has been a hallmark over the past five years, and is likely a result of the new policy issued by the government that prohibits meetings from taking place in hotels. “At the same time this contraction also caused a decline in the National and Provincial budgetary absorption from IDR 5.20 trillion in 2013 to IDR 4.53 trillion in 2014”, he concluded.
