The Jungle Book Mowgli to return to box office in 2016

Mowgli appears in a beautiful, lush jungle in a sneak peek video of Disney's new live-action and CGI film, The Jungle Book.

Newcomer Neel Sethi is playing the character, a boy raised by wolves who communicates with animals. Several actors are portraying CGI-animated characters, including Scarlett Johansson (Kaa, a python), Idris Elba (Shere Khan, an evil tiger), Bill Murray (Mowgli's friend Baloo, a bear), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera, a panther) Lupita Nyong'o (Raksha, a wolf and Mowgli's adoptive mother) and Christopher Walken (King Louie, an Orangutan).

A short clip was posted on Disney's Instagram page this weekend. It shows stunning jungle scenes—a river surrounded by vegetation and Mowgli standing on a mangled tree branch, covered in vines, in the middle of the jungle. Rustling ,or perhaps hissing, is also heard. A longer trailer is set to be released today Monday.

The Jungle Book, based on a collection of stories by British author Rudyard Kipling.

Jon Favreau is directing Disney's The Jungle Book, which is set for release on April 15, 2016.

Kingsley told E! in August at Disney's D23 convention:

"It is going to be a very different experience in that it's much more visceral. You feel the threat of the jungle, as well as the beauty of the jungle. You feel the power of those beasts as well as the story that they have to tell. You feel that there is something very muscular and vivid about those animals.

When the elephants came onto the screen, the audience gasped because they do look like a herd of elephants. You cannot imagine that that was created in a laboratory. It's almost impossible to believe that you're watching computer-generated images."

Singer and actress Liza Minnelli has cancelled two upcoming appearances in London and Sheffield.

Singer and actress Liza Minnelli has cancelled two upcoming appearances in London and Sheffield.

The US star has called off an event at the London Palladium on 20 September, when she was to have been interviewed on stage by Sir Bruce Forsyth.
Minnelli was also booked to give a similar talk at Sheffield City Hall on 22 September.
According to reports, the events were cancelled due to a dispute over money with their promoter, Rocco Buonvino.
The promoter has previously organised celebrity appearances in the UK by Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta and others.
"We have been advised by the promoters of An Evening with Liza Minnelli that the performance has been cancelled," the London Palladium said in a statement. "All tickets will be refunded."
Rocco Buonvino Productions and Minnelli's representatives have not responded to a request for a comment.
Minnelli, the daughter of Hollywood legend Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli, won an Academy Award for her role in 1972 film Cabaret.
She is one of a handful of stars to have won the so-called Egot - an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
In March, the 69-year-old was admitted to a drug and alcohol rehabilitation unit for treatment of substance abuse.
In promotional material issued when the shows were announced, Minnelli said she considered the UK to be "a second home".

Meet the most dedicated Kim Kardashian clone

 
Meet the most dedicated Kim Kardashian clone.
A transgender superfan of the buxom reality TV star has reportedly shelled out more than $100,000 to look like her favorite celebrity — and now she's on the hunt for her own Kanye West.
"I think Kim Kardashian is absolutely stunning, she is gorgeous," Thalia Almodovar, 28, told Barcroft TV. "I love the shape of her body. I think she is beautiful an
The New York City beauty said she's frequently mistaken for her idol after she got butt enhancement surgery and breast implants in 2009 and spent nearly $31,000 to match Kim K.'s wardrobe.
Almodovar, who was born male but started transitioning in high school, said she "embraced" the new attention from people confusing her with the famous "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star.
"I would get preferential treatment in clubs and restaurants. Walking down the street people would mob me for selfies. It was incredible," she said.
d I admire what she has accomplished."
She had fat transferred from liposuction to form her now-voluptuous bottom and uses a mobile app to find the best places to buy outfits similar to Kardashian's.
"Everything about Kim's attitude really resonates with me," she said. "I love my life, and I love being mistaken for Kim."
But being the carbon copy of the curvy socialite has its flaws. Men often can't see past their own obsessions with Kim, Almodovar said.

"Sometimes I am just not in the mood when guys just want to talk to me because I look like Kim without getting to know me," she said. "That annoys me."
"I had this guy that dated me only because he had an obsession with Kim and he thought that I look like her," she added. "It was like almost a fantasy."
But Almodovar is still holding out hope her Yeezy is just on the horizon.
"I'm single now so I'm on the lookout for my own Kanye," she said.

The Three Best Players I Played With At Liverpool – Steven Gerrard

More excerpts of Steven Gerrard’s autobiography titled ‘My Story’ have been published. In the latest excerpts, Gerrad reveals that the three greatest players to line-up beside him for Liverpool were Xabi Alonso, Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres.
The former Liverpool and England captain also revealed how disgruntled he was by former teammate El Hadji Diouf’s on and off the field antics.

The LA Galaxy midfielder also revealed in his new book that his first instinct told him Mario Balotelli would be a ‘failure’ at Liverpool. The Daily Mail UK published parts of the book.
ON THE BEST AND WORST PLAYERS HE PLAYED WITH AT LIVERPOOL
“I had seen a staggering number of new signings walk into the Liverpool training ground. I watched every single one of their first training sessions with close attention, wondering whether we’d bought a star or another dud, a king or a prat, a Xabi Alonso or an El Hadji Diouf, a Luis Suarez or a Mario Balotelli.
“Three players stand out in my time at Liverpool. They all speak Spanish. Each of them unleashes a wave of emotion in me and in every Liverpool supporter: Fernando Torres. Xabi Alonso. Luis Suarez.

El Hadji Diouf felt the brunt of Gerrard in his new book

“It was clear Alonso was royalty after our first training session together in August 2004, and Rafa Benitez, who had been so clever to buy him in the first place, was equally stupid to sell him to Real Madrid five years later. He was, by some distance, the best central midfielder I ever played alongside.”
BAD DECISION TO SELL XABI ALONSO
“It was a disastrous decision to sell Alonso, and especially for just £30million — which looks a snip now when you reflect on all he has achieved subsequently, both at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and with Spain, winning the Euros and the World Cup. I blame Rafa entirely for the loss of Alonso. He could still have been playing for Liverpool six or seven years after he left in 2009.”

Gerrard and Alonso had five great years for Liverpool

SUAREZ AND TORRES WERE GREAT PLAYERS
“I think more about the special players we lost — Alonso, Torres and Suarez — than the terrible signings with which we got lumbered.
“Suarez, who ran and pressed and fought for the ball and ran again — while producing extraordinary moves and sublime goals. There was a sustained period when playing with Luis was like being under a magical spell. He blew me away with his talent.
“Fernando came the closest to matching Luis. I had two years with Fernando when he made me feel invincible. I always knew where he was, where he was going to move next. I’m not a natural No 10 but, for a couple of years, Fernando helped me become one. I had my best season then, as a No 10, and that was down to Fernando in 2007-08.

Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres

“But, ultimately, Luis stands out. I would have loved to have played with Luis when I was a lot younger, and peaking, as we could have been phenomenal together for years. That’s my only tinge of regret with Suarez.
“Here’s an example of what he did for me. On March 13, 2012 I scored a hat-trick at Anfield against Everton. It was the first hat-trick in 30 years of Merseyside derbies, since Ian Rush scored three at Goodison Park in 1982. It was made even better by the selfless magic Suarez sprinkled over me that night. Luis is no saint — and I’m not sure he would have done the same for Daniel Sturridge. There was always a little bit of needling rivalry between Sturridge and Suarez.

Suarez and Sturridge needed each other

“But when it came to me, especially against Everton, Luis went out of his way. He helped Liverpool – and me – play like kings.
“All the people who revile Suarez, never having met him, might be surprised if they had the chance to benefit from his unselfish willingness to sacrifice himself for his team. He will run himself into the ground. He scores goals. He creates goals. He’s hard and horrible to play against. He’s right up for it. You’ve got a chance of beating anyone in the world with Luis Suarez in your team.”
“Not every Liverpool signing worked out like that.”

EL HADJI DIOUF ANGERED GERRARD
“Of the bad ones, I don’t really want to waste time thinking about El Hadji Diouf but it’s worth highlighting his wasted seasons at Liverpool as an example of how it can all go wrong.
“Gerard Houllier, a very good manager and a usually wise judge of character, signed Diouf in the summer of 2002. Gerard bought Diouf for £10m from Lens – solely on the recommendation of his former assistant, Patrice Bergues, who had coached Diouf there.
“I understood why Gerard rushed through the signing, but he did not really know Diouf as a person. He was one of three new signings which were meant to turn Liverpool into Premier League champions.
“We had finished as runners-up to Manchester United the season before and a combination of Diouf, Salif Diao and Bruno Cheyrou was supposed to drive us to the title. It was probably the biggest waste of £18m in Liverpool’s history.

Gerrard’s latest book

“We finished the season in fifth place and Diouf had sealed his place at the top of the list of Liverpool signings I liked least.
“It seemed to me that Diouf had no real interest in football and that he cared nothing about Liverpool. For example, the way he spat a huge globule of gunky phlegm at a Celtic fan in a UEFA Cup match at Parkhead in March 2003 summed up his contemptuous and spiteful demeanour.
BALOTELLI WAS NOT DIOUF BUT HE WAS NOT A STRONG CHARACTER
“A few people have since asked me if I saw any comparison between Diouf and Mario Balotelli – and I’ve always said no. I’ve got respect for Balotelli; I’ve got none for Diouf.
“Balotelli can be endearing sometimes — and that’s never a trait that you would associate with Diouf. The only positive aspect of the otherwise ugly signing of Diouf is that he worked hard on the pitch. He always wanted the ball, and he never hid.
“But after a while I decided Diouf simply wasn’t your usual footballer. It seemed to me as if football got in the way of his social life.
“At least Balotelli could still make me smile sometimes, I have a small hope that, one day, his career might work out and he can prove his potential on a regular basis.
HOW LIVERPOOL SIGNED BALOTELLI
“In my last season, Brendan Rodgers came to me at Melwood one day in mid-August. We had a chat on the training pitch. He said, ‘You know we’ve missed out on a couple of signings. I’m basically left with no option but to have a bit of a gamble.’
“Brendan paused before he spoke again: ‘The gamble is Mario Balotelli.’ My instant reaction was, ‘Uh-oh.’
“I’d never met Balotelli but I’d heard all the stories about the indoor fireworks and Jose Mourinho describing him as an ‘unmanageable’ player. I could see that, in the right mood, he was a quality footballer but the rest of his career seemed like a spectacular waste of talent. That was my opinion of Balotelli.
“But I also had to admit that, when he played for Italy, he seemed able to switch on his gift like he was snapping on a bright light. When he scored the winner against England in the 2014 World Cup a month earlier he showed all the movement which made him so difficult to mark at his best. I told Brendan that, up close to him on the pitch, you could see that he was a big, powerful guy.
“Brendan must have sensed my underlying reservations because he spoke a little more about why he thought it could be worth the risk. Brendan implied that Balotelli didn’t have anywhere else to go — and it seemed as if Liverpool would be Balotelli’s last chance to shine at a major club.
“He would be offered a strict contract. Any bad behaviour would be punished.

Gerrad and Balotelli in 2014

“I reminded myself that I had always allowed every new player to come into the club with a clean slate. Balotelli’s reputation tested that resolve but I tried my best to be open-minded. He made an immediate impression when we were doing work on our defensive set pieces and Balotelli said to Brendan: ‘I don’t mark on corners. I can’t.’
“I nearly fell into the goalpost. I was thinking, ‘What are you? Six foot three, and one of the strongest men I’ve ever seen on a football pitch? And you can’t mark on a corner?’
“Brendan was very firm. He said to Balotelli: ‘Well, you can now – and if you can’t then you’re going to learn.’
“That was the first conflict between Brendan and Balotelli, on day one, but the manager stood up to Mario really well. From that point, Balotelli started marking on corners.
“He made his Liverpool debut on August 31, 2014 away to Tottenham, and he did well. We won 3-0. He wasn’t outstanding but he worked hard and even looked like a team player. It would not last.
“Daniel Sturridge was injured 10 days later, while training with England. He would be out for many weeks.
“Suddenly the Mario gamble was in jeopardy – because I knew that Balotelli would simply not put in the work we needed from a lone striker.
“Everything became more tangled and more difficult. Away to Basel in the Champions League, Balotelli started the game and he was hopeless.
“After his promising debut against Tottenham he had lapsed in training and the subsequent games. His demeanour was very poor. I made up my mind pretty quickly after that about Balotelli.
“There was no friction between us. We got on fine. I still tried to help him and I kept looking for chances to praise him.
“But I could see Mourinho had been right when he said Balotelli is unmanageable. He is very talented with the potential to be world class, but he’ll never get there because of his mentality and the people around him.
“Balotelli’s always late, he always wants attention, he says the wrong things on social media.For me, he doesn’t work hard enough on a daily basis. You’re always fighting a losing battle with Balotelli.
“He does too many things wrong.
