Ameesha’s grandmother passes away
It is a time of mourning in the Patel household as actress Ameesha’s grandmother Susheela breathed her last yesterday night after suffering a prolonged illness. Ameesha was very close to her grandmom and would spend a lot of quality time with her and having no more of her in the actress’ life, is a huge loss for Ameesha whose equation with her parents hasn’t been spotless.
Ameesha’s grandmom was bed ridden post a car accident that she suffered in 2005. Even though not in her best of health, she was a lively person. Ameesha was shooting in Hyderabad for a Telegu film when she heard the tragic news and she rushed to Pune immediately to attend the last rites. We at Bollywood Hungama offer our condolences to Ameesha and her family.
UN Climate Moot Opens in Copenhagen

COPENHAGEN: A UN climate conference has opened for two weeks of negotiations among 192 nations to forge a pact to secure the world from calamitous global warming.
Conference president Connie Hedegaard, U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer and the U.N.’s chief climate scientist Rajendra Pachauri were set to address the thousands of delegates in Copenhagen on Monday.
Negotiations have dragged on for two years, only recently showing signs of breakthroughs with new commitments from the U.S., China and India to control greenhouse gas emissions.
President Barack Obama’s decision to attend the conclusion of the two-week conference, after phone consultations with other heads of state, was taken as a signal that an agreement was getting closer. He originally planned to make an hours-long stop in the Danish capital this week.
More than 100 heads of state and government have said they will attend the last day or two, making Copenhagen the largest and most important summit ever held on climate.
Along with roughly 15,000 delegates, officials expect many protesters to descend on Copenhagen for the climate conference. Authorities were beefing up security in preparation.
A study released by the U.N. Environment Program Sunday indicated that pledges by industrial countries and major emerging nations fall just short of the reductions of greenhouse gas emissions that scientists have said are needed.
Environmentalists have warned that emissions commitments were dangerously short of what U.N. scientists have said were needed to keep average temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C (3.6 F).
