<span class="s2">The Indian movie star Salman Khan will face trial next month on a homicide charge for a fatal road accident more than 10 years ago. One man was killed and four people were injured when Khan drove his car into a group of homeless people sleeping on a Mumbai pavement in September 2002. The court charged Khan with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, said Abha Singh, a lawyer involved in the case. Khan could face up to 10 years in jail if convicted. The court also charged Khan with negligent driving and causing grievous hurt to the victims. Khan, 47, pleaded not guilty to the charges. The trial is scheduled to begin August 19. </span><span class="s3">– AP</span> <span class="s1"><strong>Lady Gaga to perform at MTV Video Music Awards</strong></span> <span class="s2">Lady Gaga will perform at the MTV Video Music Awards next month.

The petition Richard and Lynn Bynes filed on Friday not only detailed her public incidents of disturbing behaviour, including several arrests, but also reveals that the former child star has stated fears that she is being watched by smoke detectors and devices in the dashboard of her car. The court delayed ruling on the conservatorship petition, stating that there was no rush to act because the 27-year-old actress is under a two-week psychiatric hold at a hospital. "We are deeply concerned that Amanda poses a substantial risk to herself, to others, and to property based on recent events in her life," the filing from Bynes' parents states. </span><span class="s3">– AP</span> <span class="s3"><a href="mailto:artslife@thenational.ae">artslife@thenational.ae</a></span> Follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thenationalArtsandLife">Facebook</a> for discussions, entertainment, reviews, wellness and news.
