Hong Kong writer director Carol Lai returns with “The Second Woman”, a suspense drama revolving around the ever popular theme of sinister twins. The film receives a real boost from having popular and award winning actress Shu Qi (“Love”) in the two lead roles, with Shawn Yue (“Love in the Buff”) on hand as her understandably confused beau, plus support from Chen Shu, Zhang Nai Tian and Niu Meng Meng. Shu Qi plays Huibao, an understudy actress rehearsing for a new performance of the play “The Legend of Lady Plum Blossom” with her boyfriend Nan (Shawn Yue). When she is struck down by illness, her twin sister Huixiang (also Shu Qi) takes over in her place, delivering a superb performance and surprising everyone. This puts a great deal of tension on the relationship between the sisters, not least since Huibao starts to suspect that Huixiang might be making eyes at Nan behind her back.

The annual Time 100 issue names the people who most affect our world.
Indians who made it to the list are Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (3rd time), Sachin Tendulkar (1st time) and Chetan Bhagat (1st time).
Unfortunately Shah Rukh Khan (0 times) couldn't make it to the list. Preity Zinta (0 times) was also said to be in the running, but she couldn't make it either!
Interestingly, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a wild card entry into the Time 100 Alumnae list along with the likes of Condoleezza Rice, Sarah Palin, Alicia Keys and Serena Williams. What is interesting to note is that, where as Singh, Srk, Preity, Bhagat made (or didn't make) to the list through votes, The Time 100 alumnae list was exclusively chosen by the Time panel of judges choosing the ones from the previous lists who had made the most impact and had the highest influence on the world...
