| THE HONEST TRUTH
ABOUT DISHONESTY |
 IN the 1970s, the gift shop at
the Kennedy Centre for the
Performing Arts was an informal
affair. It was staffed by
about 300 mostly elderly volunteers,
and there were cash drawers
instead of registers. The problem
was that of the shop's
$400,000 in annual revenue,

for this artist |  I DIDN´T actually decide to do the
whole room at first," said Shantell
Martin, contemplating the
freestyle line drawings that cover
all four walls and the ceiling of
the room she rents in Brooklyn.
Initially, she said, she planned to limit
herself to part of one wall, a section
under a chest-high, black-slate mantel,
where there might once have been a fireplace.
It was ideal, she decided, because
it was self-contained, like a frame.
"I thought maybe that would just be

A London-born artist whose streamof-

walls of private homes and companies
like the trend consultancy PSFK, Martin

inspired me, says
Emma Stone |  EMMA Stone will soon make her mark
in the superhero film history, playing
Gwen Stacy alongside Andrew
Garfield´s Peter Parker/Spider-Man in
Marc Webb´s upcoming, The Amazing
Spider-Man.
While many actresses would leap at the chance
to play the mega role, Emma was initially hesitant
to sign on, but found strength in the words of
another blockbuster newcomer, Jennifer
Lawrence.
"I love Jennifer Lawrence and I watched a lot of
her interviews for Hunger Games — it was kind of
the same thing she was feeling," the actress told
Access Hollywood at The Amazing Spider-Man
junket in New York on, referencing Jennifer´s
publicised trepidation toward taking on Katniss
Everdeen. "What scared me was the idea of. | | | Omi Vaidya to direct
psychological thriller |  ACTOR Omi Vaidya, popularly

thriller and
says he may act in it.
"I am directing a

thriller and it´s very
different from what
I have done so far.
It´s very exciting
but I can´t tell you
anything about it
because I don´t
want to give it
(concept) away,"
Omi said.
Omi refuses to reveal details,
but says it will have some known
names in the cast.
"It is going to be an Indie film
and has got some big names
attached to it. I can´t really say
those names right now... hopefully,
it will be good and all of you
will enjoy it. I might act in the film
too," he said.
This is not the first time that he
is directing. He has, previously
