Owen Wilson says his father suffers from Alzheimer’s
DALLAS — Dallas-born actor Owen Wilson says that while his father having Alzheimer’s disease is “a rough thing,” he also knows that there are things to be grateful for, including that his father is being cared for at home and has people around who love him. “It is a rough thing,” Wilson told the Dallas Morning News in his first public comment about his 74-year-old father’s illness. “It’s one of those things where if somebody had said 10 years ago, when my dad and I were joking around, having a putting match, that this is the position your dad’s going to be in, where he basically needs 24-hour care, you’d think, ‘Gosh, I won’t be able to handle that. That’s just not possible,’” Wilson said. The actor, who grew up in Dallas, added: “You just have to do your
best to deal with it. You’ve got no choice but to accept it. And then, you sort of still look for the things to be grateful for.” His father, Robert A. “Bob” Wilson, is a longtime Dallas executive. He took charge of Dallas’ public television affiliate, KERA, in 1967. He hired Jim Lehrer from the Dallas Times Herald and put him in charge of public affairs programming. That led to the creation of a local news program with Lehrer as host that became the forerunner of a national staple, “The News Hour With Jim Lehrer.” “For me and my brothers, there just wasn’t a bigger influence on us,” Owen Wilson, who has starred in movies including “Wedding Crashers,” told the newspaper. His brothers are actors Luke and Andrew Wilson. Owen Wilson plays a father in his new movie “No Escape,” a thriller about a businessman who unwittingly transports his wife and two young daughters into a country where the government is being toppled in a coup. Wilson, 46, said it’s a role he couldn’t have played without first becoming a father himself. He has two sons, ages 4½ and 1½. (ap)

Hugh Jackman brings Broadway to Australia
SYDNEY - Hollywood star Hugh Jackman revealed Monday he will return to the stage in a personal show in Australia inspired by his successful Broadway performances. The Australian, best known for his role of Wolverine in the “X-Men” movies, said “Broadway to Oz” would be an “intimate look at my life, the stuff that I love”. “It’s pretty much all about me,” the Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony Award winner told reporters in Sydney. “You are going to get to know the real me in that show. I will tell you what it’s like being in my shoes.” The show will be based on his 2011 Broadway show, “Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway” and will map his journey from Australia to Hollywood as well as pay tribute to classic musicals. “I’m a big lover of movie musicals,” Jackman said, naming “Singing in the Rain” as the greatest in that category. The 46-year-old said it had always been his intention to bring the Broadway show to Australia, saying “the end game for me was being here”. Featuring 150 dancers, musicians, singers and a choir, the show will tour Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in November and December. (afp)
Police probe Mel Gibson’s ‘angry tirade’ at Australian photographer
SYDNEY - Police were investigating claims on Monday that controversial Hollywood star Mel Gibson allegedly shoved and verbally abused an Australian photographer during an angry altercation. Kristi Miller, a news photographer with Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, said she had taken two pictures of Gibson leaving a cinema in the city with Rosalind Ross, 24, on Sunday evening when the actor aggressively confronted her.
“I took two frames and then I ran to get in front of them,” she told the newspaper. “I turned around with my back to them and ran forward and the next thing I knew he had shoved me in the back from behind.” Miller described the actor as “out of control” as he charged after her, spitting in her face and calling her a “dog”. “I was just shocked that I was being pushed, shoved in the back,” she claimed.
New South Wales police said they were investigating the incident but did not specify what, if any, charges were being pursued. “Police were told a man became involved in an altercation with a photographer. He allegedly pushed the photographer,” they said in statement to AFP. “We would urge anyone who might have witnessed the incident and is yet to speak to police to come forward.”
Gibson’s management in the United States denied any physical contact between the star of “Braveheart” and “Lethal Weapon” and the photographer. “There was no physical contact whatsoever with this photographer, who was harassing my client and his friend,” the actor’s representative, Alan Nierob, told the Telegraph in an email. Miller alleged Gibson, 59 continued to lash out at her until he was led away by an apologetic Ross.
“I thought he was going to punch me in the face,” Miller said, adding that Gibson was using offensive language. The Oscar winner, who is in Australia to direct World War II drama “Hacksaw Ridge”, has not been without controversy in recent years. In a high-profile case, he was caught on tape in 2006 making an anti-Semitic rant at a US sheriff’s deputy who had arrested him for drunken driving. (afp)

Tourists walked around Seminyak area in Bali Island. The rapid expansion of tourism in Bali has led the younger generation -who will inherit Balinese culture, to become ensnared in all forms of “pseudo-enjoyment”. The rate of growth of tourism in Bali is directly proportional to the amount of damage inflicted on Bali and its people.
Bali trapped by pseudo-enjoyment DENPASAR - The rapid expansion of tourism in Bali has led the younger generation -who will inherit Balinese culture, to become ensnared in all forms of “pseudo-enjoyment”. The rate of growth of tourism in Bali is directly proportional to the amount of damage inflicted on Bali and its people.
Weak regulations regarding the management of tourism have allowed a lot of grey areas in the law, that makes it easy for venture capitalists to make a profit at the expense of many. Tourism also invites all sorts of people to come to Bali, ranging from real estate investors to tuyul or evil spirits bearing wads of cash. Many fear that the uncontrolled expansion of tourism in Bali will mean that the next generation will no longer be Balinese. Prof. Sutjaya recently spoke of Bali’s position in the midst of tourism saying: “Bali has been wildly exploited. Unclear
regulations for the protecting of Bali, have caused tourism to be managed with an approach that prioritizes financial interests and allows for collusion. This is a bleak period of Balinese civilization,” he said mournfully. Sutjaya, former professor at Udayana University, said he would like to clear up the public mis-perception that has been implanted and which states that tourism has spurred the growth of Bali’s economy.
