Social media abuse at its best. Adding fuel to fire, Selena Gomez participated in social media drama that led Justin Bieber, to leave Instagram. The Canadian singer had 77.9 million Instagram followers.  He recently posted a series of photos with Sofia Richie, 17, daughter of Lionel Richie, with whom he is allegedly in a relationship. This of course didn’t sit well with Selena who made her opinion public and caused even more controversy around the misunderstood Canadian star. Bieber has been a victim of online abuse and is now only using Twitter and Facebook. Robert Downey Jr is reportedly teaming up with True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto for a drama on HBO. Nic Pizzolatto is on board to pen the script, while the 51-year-old Iron Man actor will star in the project. World renowned author Paulo Coelho has always been a staunch supporter of Shah Rukh Khan. Last year, Paulo Coelho was vocal about the fact that he felt Shah Rukh Khan deserved an Oscar for his performance in My Name Is Khan. Readers may know that, only last week, Shah Rukh Khan was detained at the Los Angeles airport by US immigration department officials. To which, Paulo Coelho tweeted “It also happens in the masterpiece ‘My name is Khan’. @iamsrk , we know that life imitates art”. The European Film Academy (EFA) has announced its 15-title shortlist of contenders for this year’s Best European Documentary award, a group that includes festival darlings, personal essays and celebrity profiles. Fire at Sea, Gianfranco Rosi’s look at the refugee crisis in Europe, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival this year, is the early favorite to take the EFA best documentary honor, but the film faces some stiff competition in a category that has often proved difficult to handicap. Among the other non-fiction titles in the running are Marianna Economou’s The Longest Run, a look at two teen refugees stranded in a Greek prison; Becoming Zlatan, Fredrik and Magnus Gertten’s portrait of Swedish soccer superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic; and A German Life, an up-close look at Brunhilde Pomsel, the 105-year-old woman who was once the secretary of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. The best European documentary of 2016 will be announced at the European Film Awards in Wroclaw, Poland on Dec. 10. The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2016 commenced from August 11 and will continue till August 21. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan received top honours at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2016.  Mohenjo Daro box office collection day 4: Hrithik Roshan film earns Rs 40.9 crore. Boasting a soundtrack by Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman and a star turn by ace dancer and top Bollywood talent Hrithik Roshan, the film puts a love story at the core of a tale set in 2016 BC — a love-struck village man woos a priest’s comely daughter as a villainous despot threatens to destroy the mighty ancient Indus Valley metropolis. David Ayer’s much-debated Suicide Squad may have stayed No. 1 in its second outing, but the true hero of the late summer box-office barbecue was Sausage Party, which came in ahead of predictions to score the best opening for an R-rated comedy in at least a year with $33.6 million from 3,103 theaters.
