It's been three weeks since Paul McCartney and Kanye West released their collaboration Only One, and now the two musicians have linked up with Rihanna for an acoustic track titled FourFiveSeconds. "I think I've had enough," sings Rihanna. "I might get a little drunk / I say what's on my mind / I might do a little time / 'Cause all of my kindness is taken for weakness." West and Rihanna belt out the vocals, with McCartney coming in on the chorus and on playing keyboards. The song is available for download at RihannaNow.com. – The National staff

Arbaaz Khan says Dabangg 3 needs new ideas
Salman Khan's brother, the actor/filmmaker Arbaaz Khan, says making the third instalment of the Dabangg franchise is not as easy as adding "a '3' after the film's title". Arbaaz, 47, says that the audience has high expectations from the films "and that makes it challenging". The Dabangg films star Salman as the rogue cop Chulbul Pandey. "You need ideas, you have to think hard. You just can't put a '3' after the title of the film. If you have a franchise of two movies that has worked so far, it does not mean that you can go on making it," says Arbaaz, adding that his team is working on a concept that will outdo the previous two films. "I know that people are really waiting for the third film. We created an iconic character [Chulbul Pandey] and we have received a lot of love and appreciation from the audience," he said. – The National staff
