Sherlock star Cumberbatch ties the knot
Sherlock Holmes star Benedict Cumberbatch married pregnant fiancee Sophie Hunter on Saturday, according to British media, with British actress Keira Knightley among the stars joining the celebrations.
Cumberbatch, 38, who has been nominated for his depiction of World War II codebreaker Alan Turing in “The Imitation Game”, wed theatre director Hunter, 36, at a ceremony attended by close friends and family on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, according the
Daily Telegraph. Other guests at St Peter & St Paul Church were reported to include actors Tom Hiddleston and Martin Freeman. Photographers snapped the couple leaving the ceremony in a classic Jaguar car, but many fans were left disappointed after waiting in
the rain for a glimpse of the newlyweds. The couple announced their engagement in The Times newspaper’s births, deaths and marriages in November. Cumberbatch is currently working on a new series of BBC’s popular Sherlock adaptation. (afp)

Bon Jovi performs intimate set in Kenneth Cole store NEW YORK — Most of the time when you hear a Bon Jovi song in a store, it’s playing over a loudspeaker. But Thursday night, around 100 lucky fans were treated to seeing the New Jerseyborn rocker perform a bunch of his hits during an intimate acoustic set inside a Kenneth Cole store in Soho. The performance, as New York Fashion Week began, was part of Common Thread, an initiative Jon Bon Jovi started with Cole that provides a platform for the new designers and musicians. “Despite all the social media and the ability for people
to have a voice, it’s so hard for them to find an audience for that voice,” Cole told The Associated Press on Thursday. “So tonight is kind of the two of them coming together, and that’s what the common thread.” Before the show, the 52year old musician expressed his feeling that while the technology for making music has gotten simpler, he sees no substitute for raw performance as the true measure of talent. “You can have all the bells and whistles of production these days, and these guys that are out there singing on
the Grammys with auto-tune. I always used to say, ‘I’m going to hand you my guitar, sing me something, and I want to see you play it.’ This is that night, so we’ll have a little bit of fun and give back,” Bon Jovi said. As for the set, the singer opened with “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” and included his megahits Livin’ On A Prayer,” and ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive,” before announcing up-and-coming artist Cole Redding. Other performers included country artist Rodney Atkins and singer-songwriter, Rose Falcon. (ap)
BEIJING — The son of actor Jackie Chan apologized to the public Saturday and asked for a second chance following his release from a six-month jail sentence for allowing people to use marijuana in his apartment. Jaycee Chan, 32, said at a news conference that he was rededicating himself to his family and entertainment business career. He said he had “no reason, no excuse” for the behavior that led to his arrest in August alongside Taiwanese actor Ko Kai and others. “After this correction by the justice system, I have changed my outlook on life and my values,” Chan said. Chan and Ko tested positive for marijuana, and police seized more than 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of the drug from his Beijing apartment. He could have been sentenced to up to three years, but was shown leniency by the court for having come clean with his law breaking. Chan’s news conference was broadcast live on Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, il-

Hong Kong actor Jaycee Chan bows his head as he arrives for a news conference at a hotel in Beijing, Saturday, Feb. 14, 2015. lustrating the propaganda value Beijing hopes to gain from the high-profile case amid a sweeping anti-drugs crackdown. Over the first half of last year, Beijing saw a 53-percent rise in drug investigations in the city to more than 1,800 cases. More than 8,400 suspects have been detained during that time, an increase of 79 percent over the same period last year.
Chan, whose mother is former Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-jiao, was raised in Los Angeles and has appeared in about 20 films, most of them low-budget Hong Kong and mainland Chinese productions. Jackie Chan has publicly apologized for his son’s drug use and pledged to work with him on his recovery. The incident was sensitive for him because of his status as a Chinese anti-drugs ambassador and deputy to the national legislature’s main consultative body. Jaycee Chan said his father did not intervene on his behalf and that he received no special treatment in prison, where conditions were “quite harsh.” Speaking slowly in a quiet voice, he said he’d first encountered marijuana eight years earlier on a trip to the Netherlands, but only became a regular user about two years ago. “I’m very ashamed that I haven’t been a good role model,” Chan said. “I want to start again, but I know that it’s the mass media that will decide.” (ap)
