James Cameron's new film "Avatar" may have one of the biggest budgets of all time ... but it also has one big problem -- a group of Hindus are up in arms because they claim the title disgraces their religion.
The Universal Society of Hinduism and its president Rajan Zed are demanding Cameron put a disclaimer before and after the new 3-D flick saying it has diddly squat to do with the Hindu religion and its concepts ... and the title is just a coincidence.
The concept of "avatar" -- commonly known as incarnation -- is a central theme in Hinduism and prominent Hindus are worried the movie will completely botch it if Cameron doesn't bother to explain himself.
Ironically Cameron's film will reportedly be the biggest ever Hollywood release in India.

How would James Cameron feel if on opening night of his next big movie, someone smashed into a light and knocked out all the power to the theater?
Probably a lot like Western General Insurance Company does. The company is suing Cameron and one of his employees, Oscar Escalante. According to the suit, the employee was driving a car registered at Cameron's address when he smacked into a light pole -- knocking out power to their business for three whole days.
The company is suing the employee and Cameron for negligence , claiming the accident cost it nearly $125,000 while the power was out.

Are you sick of seeing James Cameron on all those Titanic specials cruising around in his own personal submarine?
Well Mr. Cameron, thanks to a little company called U.S. Submarines the rest of us can explore the murky depths along with you. The Discovery 1000 is your ticket to underwater hijinks as you cruise below the waves searching for your very own mermaid or merman. The sub seats you and three of your closest friends underwater in air conditioned luxury for as long as 24 hours. With the incredible views from it's enormous transparent hull and the ability to dive 305 meters (1000 feet), you too can make a documentary about the sunken ships you will encounter. Eat your heart out Mr. Titanic!
Forget about sailing and yachting, submarining is where it's at. The Discovery 1000 will have you singing "Under the Sea" until you're hoarse. Sea-hoarse that is! (Sorry- we had to go there.)

Stars -- they're just like us, right? They meet, fall in love, marry and, well, divorce just like 50 percent of the rest of us. But as we bicker over who gets the dog for the Fourth of July and permanent custody of the easy chair... stars deal in cold hard cash... wild amounts of it.
TMZ has done some digging to find divorce settlement whoppers. A theme surfaced, which could be an important life lesson for us all: If you line the pockets of your soon-to-be ex with money, and lots of it, they're way more likely to leave happy... and leave you alone.
Check out the Ex's in happier times!

Last night's season premiere of 'Entourage' had, as usual, plenty of references to life in Tinseltown: Ari's menu choices at the Palm, James Cameron threatening re-shoots the day after a premiere, Jimmy Woods with a blonde bimbette half his age. TMZ takes a closer look to see how well the art of 'Entourage' imitates Hollywood life.
