David Letterman made a surprise visit to Martin Short and Steve Martin's A Very Stupid Conversation stage show Friday night in San Antonio, and the former Late Show host used the opportunity to gleefully mock beleaguered presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Making his first onstage appearance since retiring with an epic blowout on May 20th, a bearded Letterman expressed regret that his Late Show departure just missed Trump's candidacy, which would have been perfect fodder for late night television.
"I retired and… I had no regrets. None. I was happy.

As the time of Sanjay Dutt's release from jail approaches, those close to him including his wife have spread the word that he'd soon be available again to work in films. However, Mrs. Maanyata Dutt has apparently instructed Sanjay Dutt's marketing team to let it be known to producers that the post-incarcerated actor won't be available to play negative roles. Hence the news that Dutt is opting out of Karan Johar's Shuddhi when in fact, he was never offered the role. A friend of the Dutt family reveals, "Sanju opting out of Shuddhi is the actor's family's way of letting the world know he won't do negative roles. His image building machinery won't allow him. Sanju was never offered Shuddhi." As Sanjay prepares for post-release, positive roles are being whipped for the actor by 3 friendly directors Raj Kumar Hirani, Umesh Shukla and Sanjay Gupta who have scripts ready for Dutt.

Although Jurassic World doesn’t come out until next summer, you might sense its release date coming ever closer, just like Dr. Ian Malcolm could feel the T-rex before it came back for a second snack. To help hold fans over, a viral site has been launched that focuses on Masrani, the company that acquired International Genetic Technologies and successfully opened Jurassic World on Isla Nublar.
A fictional company that will play a key role in Jurassic World, Masrani is run by CEO Simon Sanjay (played by Irrfan Khan). Originally a telecommunications company, Masrani expanded its reach into the oil field where profits skyrocketed, eventually allowing Simon to buy International Genetic Technologies after Dr. John Hammond died in 1998. Having control of InGen, Simon built the Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar, the destination droves of moviegoers will visit next June via their local big screens.
