Posted: 25 May 2010 07:08 PM PDT

Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan were not in good terms but they are now. Everything changed after the news of Amitabh Bachchan's illness came out. Even Aamir Khan, who criticized him, went to see Amitabh Bachchan to Lilavati Hospital. After visiting Amitabh Bachchan and informed them of his health. He said:

“He didn't look ill, and is keeping very well now. I talked to Abhishek and he assured me that he will be discharged soon, and there is no need to worry. He just needs to pay attention on his diet now. To me he looked very relaxed; he had no breathing problem at all.”

Even before he visited, Aamir Khan regularly sent SMS to Abhishek Bachchan asking him of his father's health.

Aamir Khan criticized Amitabh Bachchan's acting in Black which fuelled serious controversy. Back then, media poured out reports of what they were writing about each other. Interestingly, everything stopped when Amitabh Bachchan appeared at the premiere of Imran Khan's debut movie,

Jaane Tu….Ya Jaane Na. Amitabh Bachchan even praised Imran Khan's acting and Aamir Khan's marketing skills. This sparked another rumor that Aamir Khan will direct Amitabh Bachchan in his second directorial but that was just another RUMOR!

Arsenal vs Newcastle United EPL 2008-09: Live Score and Updates

Arsenal takes on Newcastle United in their third premier league match of the season on 30 August 2008. The match will take place at the Arsenal home ground, Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will go into the match looking for a strong come back after last week's shocking defeat at Fulham, while Newcastle United will look to continue their good start in the season as Newcastle collected four points from first two matches of the season. Though Arsenal will have home advantage, Newcastle will be no less confident going into the match, considering the fact that Arsenal might be under pressure to play well before the home crowd.

Match: Arsenal vs Newcastle United, English Premier League 2008-2009

Date: 30 August 2008

Venue: Emirates Stadium

Kick off Time: 17:30 BST

Arsenal followed up the morale-denting 1-0 loss at Craven Cottage (Fulham home ground) last week with an excellent midweek Champions League encounter with Dutch club FC Twente whom Arsenal defeated 4-0 to confirm their Champions League group stage match spot. Now, the home fans will want Arsenal players replicate their last season's excellent performance against Newcastle United. Here, it is noteworthy that Gunners put nine goals in Newcastle net in last season's four meetings including two '3-0 victory' in premier league.

If Arsenal seeks confidence from their last season triumphs over Newcastle ahead of the match, then Newcastle United can relish the kind of start they have got this season. In fact, this is one of the best starts Newcastle managed to achieve in the last few seasons in premier league. After holding Manchester United to a 1-1 draw away at Old Trafford on the opening week, Kevin Keegan boys pulled off a 1-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers in their recent premier league match. Thus, they have achieved four points from two matches, while Arsenal remains a point behind Newcastle.

Arsenal started with a 1-0 unconvincing victory against recently promoted West Bromwich Albion at home in the season opener, but lost the track at Fulham. However, there is some good news for Arsenal ahead of the match. I have already mentioned the scintillating 4-0 victory over FC Twente. So, the Gunners are now full of confident to welcome Newcastle United.

Their confidence might have been doubled as their star midfielder Cesc Fabregas made a satisfactory return with Twente match and Arsenal midfield looked much more organized and creative in the match than it looked at Fulham. What is more important is that, Arsene Wenger does not need to worry for any new injury ahead of the Newcastle match. More good news to follow in the way as three key players: Club captain William Gallas, striker Theo Walcott and midfielder Samir Nasri- have recovered minor knocks they received in the win against Twente. Walcott and Galls recovered the knee problems, while Nasri got over a stomach bug that forced him out at the half time during the Twente match. Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that all the three players will be available for the home match against Newcastle United.

Guardian reported:

The trio had picked up minor injuries from the 4-0 win over FC Twente in midweek but the Gunners boss revealed that they are ready to play.

“There were doubts over Gallas, Walcott and Nasri but they are OK,” Wenger told the Arsenal website. “They are all available.

“It will be the same 18 as against Twente but I will rotate a little bit.”

However, Abou Diaby (thigh), Amaury Bischoff (groin), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and Eduardo da Silva will remain sidelined with injury. New signing Mikael Silvestre is less likely to get his debut match against Newcastle United as he is yet to recover fully from injury.

Newcastle United coach Kevin Keegan has a number of injury woes ahead of the match. Injury affected their attacking line up badly. Except Michael Owen, there is hardly any fit striker in Newcastle squad at this moment. Striker Obafemi Martins picked up an injury during their recent Carling Cup victory over Coventry and was replaced by Owen during the match. There are some other names in the injury list.

Sportbox reported:

However, Kevin Keegan is likely to need a role call on Saturday morning to see who is available to play as he has a host of injury problems to contend with.

Strikers Obafemi Martins, Mark Viduka, Shola Ameobi and Andy Carroll all missed the midweek Carling Cup win against Coventry City alongside midfielder Joey Barton and defender Claudio Cacapa.

Winger Damien Duff picked up a knock against Bolton and is a major doubt, while Alan Smith is still not fully-fit.

Still, there is good news for the Magpie fans as the club captain Michael Owen has been in excellent form recently. In fact, the English striker scored in every match since his return from injury. Owen will play as the lone striker against Arsenal. I think, Owen will be the player Arsenal must be careful about because the striker has the ability to break any defense in his day.

For Arsenal, the focus will be on Cesc Fabregas. I think, Emmanuel Adebayor will start in the match over Nicklas Bendtner. However, Cesc Fabregas will be the player Newcastle United needs to watch out for in the match. With his creativity and talent, the Spanish midfielder has the ability to turn the match in their favor.

Arsenal seems to have a slight edge over the visiting Newcastle. However, Newcastle's recent form would keep them confident in the match and they can come up with some good challenge for the home team. Arsenal, on the other hand, is also desperate to make a strong come back after the setback of last week. So, an interesting match seems to be waiting there at the Emirates stadium.

In a media event held in Tokyo, Microsoft announced to cut down 30% of its Xbox 360 retail prices. In this process, the company will be able to compete with its Japanese rivals Nintendo and Sony. The new price has been introduced from September 1, 2008.

Under this new pricing, currently, Japanese gamers will be able to buy the introductory level Xbox 360 Arcade model at a rate of 19,800 yen ($183). This is much less compared to Nintendo Wii or PlayStation 3.

Market analysts are already saying that by going below $200 Xbox 360 has become an attractive offer to the consumers and if Microsoft goes below the current price, then the product is open to the mass market.

On the other hand, Microsoft's Japan branch announced that the high end model such as Xbox 360 with 120 GB hard drive will be sold at 39,800 yen ($368). The company is also planning to launch a new model with 60 GB drive which will be priced $275 or 29800 yen.
