How do I contact a bollywood celebrity for a good social cause?
Q. Our group is organizing a charity event for kids at our orphanage. I wanted to contact a bollywood celebrity for the event since I saw the kids are particularly interested in their fav actors/actresses. I've contacted a few people who I thought might help. But I would still like to know what's the best way I can contact a bollywood celebrity.

A. Hi. Firstly you should look up if they have a web page. If you fine this then check if there is a contact section with details about submitting a request to this celeb. You can also check to see who their management company would be. Try searching in yahoo for bolywood management companies. Often the celeb will have an agent and PA, this information can be found out by searching. Sorry I can't be more specific. If you had their name I could have given you more information about how to contact them. Usually for charity events the celeb would waive their fee for b personal appearance. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can I contact the bank for a bank owned property and make an offer?
Q. Or do I have to go to the realty firm where the property is listed? I assume that if I want to view the property than I need to contact the realtor for viewing? Thanks for answering! If I have to go through the real estate broker to view/bid on the property, do I have to pay them commission?

A. The bank has no way of dealing with you directly, no one there holds a real estate license. They will not even discuss the property with you. The bank pays the agents commission, not the buyer.

How would you contact George Lucas to suggest a book for a film?
Q. The series, Night's Dawn Trilogy by author Peter Hamilton is wonderful. It would make a superb Sci-Fi movie. How would I contact George Lucas to suggest he read the book and consider it for a film? Lucas is the only person that could put this series on screen.

A. New Line already bought the film rights to Night's Dawn, and even if they hadn't, Lucas wouldn't touch it. A company like Lucasfilm doesn't really adapt books, most of their projects are original ideas built on hugely successful franchises like Star Wars of Indiana Jones- besides Lucas working on the dreaded Indie 5 right now- he is really only interested in his own characters and worlds. Most books have the film rights bought up right after they are published, 90% of them never get made but the studios like to own as many rights as they can in case one day they want to make a film based on a given book. You'll just have to wait and see what New Line does with it.

Contact is a 1997 film about a scientist, after years of searching, finds conclusive radio proof of intelligent aliens, who send plans for a mysterious machine.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by James V. Hart and Michael Goldenberg, based on the novel by Carl Sagan.

  • Mathematics is the only true universal language.
  • [On why the message does not foreshadow an alien attack] We pose no threat to them. It would be like us going out of our way to destroy a few microbes on an ant hill in Africa.
  • So what's more likely? That an all-powerful, mysterious God created the Universe, and decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that He simply doesn't exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone?
