Zubeidaa’s all-star cast for both screen and soundtrack brings together some of the biggest names in modern day Indian entertainment.

THIS is the tragic story of a princess (Karisma Kapoor in the title role), narrated through the eyes of Riyaz, the son who never knew her.

Directed by 66 year old Shyam Benegal and set in the backdrop of the formation of the republic of India, Zubeidaa is the daughter of Suleman Seth (Amrish Puri), who secretly takes part in the shooting of a film. Her father is horrified and hastily arranges for her to be married to Mehboob Alam. However, circumstances after the birth of her son mean the poor girl faces a bleak future.

Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst said that despite his recent outpourings of affection for Britney Spears, her life is too “out of control” for him to date her.

Durst posted several romantic messages on his band’s Web site last month about the pop singer, such as, “I have never felt this way.”

The 32-year-old said that when he met Spears, he thought, “Wow, this is just a very sweet Southern girl, just simple, you know, Southern girl,” he told “Access Hollywood” for an interview airing Monday.
