10-year-old Slumdog Millionaire actress, Rubina Ali is homeless for the second time this year after her house was bulldozed by Indian authorities to make way for a new railroad to be built through the Garib Nagar slum in Mumbai, India.

Rubina’s first home was demolished by authorities in May. Her family is still waiting for Slumdog’s Jai Ho Trust to provide her with an apartment which was promised to them. The trust was set up to ensure the welfare of Rubina and her co-star Azharuddin Ismail. Azharuddin was placed in a $56,000 apartment with his family earlier this year. Both children are also currently receiving a $120 monthly allowance from the trust.

Biographer Ian Halperin has just released some exciting news: Michael Jackson’s father Joe is already making plans to send his three grandchildren on tour to continue Michael’s legacy. We should trust Ian because he says he’s getting the news from someone “extremely close to the family”.  He’s also the dude who back in December, predicted the exact month of Michael’s death.

According to Ian, Joe is already working on getting recording contracts for the more cooperative kids, Paris and Blanket. He’s still beating talking 12-year-old Prince into going along with the idea. Just to get geared up, he’s also started casually shopping around for backing bands to play with the kids.

Joe might hit a few road blocks turning his dream into a reality, however. Rumor has it that his wife Katherine and the biological mother of the kids, Debbie Rowe are teaming up to keep his hands off of the new potential money bags. Sources say that Debbie is even looking into possibly getting a restraining order to legally keep Joe away. If the women are unsuccessful, the Jackson 3’s world tour will begin in 2010.

Anna Paquin first made her debut as the little girl in The Piano in 1994, but now that she’s now all grown up, she’s apparently been looking for ways to move her career along.  And what better way to mature as an actress than to get naked on screen?

Anna recently told E! Online that she’ll be shedding her clothes regularly for season two of her show True Blood.

According to Anna,

I get more naked this season than I did last season… It’s not an issue for me. I’m very careful about what I eat, and I work out a lot. My costume entails bathing suits, short-shorts and nude scenes.

Slumdog Millionaire actor, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail’s family members, who were homeless just last week, now reportedly have two brand new homes waiting for them.

A trust set up for the young Slumdog Millionaire actors, recently dropped a little change on a brand new apartment for the 10-year-old after his home in the Mumbai slums was destroyed by Indian authorities last month. Coincidentally, the Indian government, which received a nice chunk of bad press from the house-crushing incident, also stepped in to buy a new pad for the Ismail family.

9-year-old actress Rubina Ali, whose home was also destroyed last month, is reportedly receiving a home from the government as well.  No word yet on whether or not she’ll also score a second home from the Slumdog trust like her lucky co-star Azharuddin did.

Slumdog Millionaire director, Danny Boyle arrived in Mumbai today to meet with the families of child actors, Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed, whose homes were destroyed by Indian authorities in recent weeks.

The meeting, which was set up to discuss the issue of acquiring proper housing for both children and their families, ended early when Rubina’s father Rafiq Qureshi stormed out of the room, telling reporters,

Everything is available in Mumbai if you have the money. If you really want to get us a house you can get us a house in two days. After the Oscars they forgot about us.

Danny defended himself by saying that he and other Slumdog filmmakers had been trying to secure housing for the children “for a long time”.  A home for Azharuddin is reportedly almost ready for move-in, and the children’s trust is still working on finding an apartment for Rubina’s family.

Rubina is currently living with relatives, and Azharuddin is staying with his parents in a makeshift shack made of blankets and tarps.

10-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, who played young Salim Malik in Slumdog Millionaire is reportedly homeless after Indian authorities demolished his home, along with 30 others in the Mumbai slums early this morning.

Azharuddin and his mother were reportedly awoken by police officers and told to abandon the premises. Azharuddin claimed that a police officer beat him with a bamboo stick to shoo him out. His mother, Shameem Ismail told reporters,

They didn’t give prior notice. We didn’t even get a chance to take out our belongings. I don’t know what I am going to do.

This incident is the latest in a series of problems that have plagued the stars of the Oscar-winning film. Last month, another child actress from the film, Rubina Ali’s father was accused of attempting to sell his her to a wealthy family from Dubai.

Billy Ray Cyrus had so much fun pimping out his kid, Miley, that he’s moving on to giving some helpful advice to the Obamas about whether or not to get their kids Malia and Sasha into acting.

Billy Ray and Miley originally offered the girls parts in an upcoming Hannah Montana episode, but the Obamas have declined the invitation. Billy Ray’s responds with a deep southern drawl,

As a daddy, I’ll say to him what I say to any daddy, you may not want your daughter to get into show business, but if the girls want to be on the show, and him and his wife think it’s a good idea, I always say, everything in life, what’s meant to be will happen.

If not, it’s probably a good thing also because these girls are going to be in a unique spotlight, and they really do need to walk with certainty and care. I can see many reasons why it would be fun for them to do the show, but I also see a couple other reasons… I don’t know.

I’ll leave it up to faith. I think God has a plan for everything. I have no doubt if it’s meant to be. I’ll look up and see them some time before April.

Yes, I’m sure god will bring Barack Obama’s daughters for you to pimp out in April if that is his plan.

Defamer has posted a clip of Dakota Fanning’s appearance on Oprah yesterday, where the former awkwardly bubbly pseudo-adult somehow got taken over by a normal 14-year-old girl.

Dakota was on the show to promote her new movie, The Secret Life of Bees, and to dish about her new life as a high school cheerleader. No, she doesn’t save the world, but it’s worth watching just to see the amazing results of the body switching aliens.

Watch the clip here.
