Malaika Arora Khan misses Vikram Phadnis’ show at PFW

Designer Vikram Phadnis has been a hot favorite among Bollywood stars for quite some time now and Bolly beauties consider themselves lucky to grab an opportunity to walk the ramp as a showstopper for his collections. However, Malaika Arora Khan missed this opportunity as she failed to make it for his show at the Pune Fashion Week (PFW) and Phadnis had to make last-minute changes when the unexpected happened.
“Malaika was supposed to be here but at the last moment she was caught up in Delhi for a prior commitment. She is a very dear friend of mine and if not today, she will walk for me some other time for sure,” Vikram told.
However, the show was a success as it started with his collection in black colour and models walked down the ramp flaunting long dresses, saris and anarkali suits.

Sonakshi Sinha in an urban role for Farah Khan’s next

Though Sonakshi Sinha got rave reviews and enough applause for her beauty and also her performance in the superhit ‘Dabangg’, it was Malaika Arora Khan who grabbed the oomph trophy for her item number ‘Munni Badnaam’. Now, Sonakshi is coming with Akshay Kumar in Farah Khan’s next but she won’t have a sizzling item number in the movie as there is no scope for it.
Says Farah Khan who is the co-producer of the film along with Shirish Kunder and Akshay Kumar, “Rest assured, she wouldn’t be getting into a ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ mode for our next film. After all her role in the film doesn’t demand that such a situation for that at all.”
After Katrina’s dance number in my upcoming film, I know that audience will expect yet another stylized yet sensual item song from Sonakshi as well. However, we can’t place an item number just for the sake of it”, she added.
However, Sonakshi will be seen in a glamorous and urban role in the film as director Shirish says, “Sonakshi plays an urban girl in the film so yes, she would be seen in the Western outfits. I am aware that audience want more of her after DABANGG. With our film, there would be a handful of her as she has a role of substance. She isn’t there just for 3-4 scenes.” This is Shirish’s second film after JAAN-E-MANN.

Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor are Sabir Khan’s Heer and Ranjha

Deepika Padukone is one actress who has paired opposite many heroes comfortably. After Deepika Padukone-Farhan Akhtar, Deepika-Imran, Deepika-Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika-Abhishek, the actress is now set to make a screen pair with Shahid Kapoor in Sabir Khan’s ‘Heer and Ranjha’. Sabir has already assisted in movies like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and directed the disastrous Kambakht Ishq.
Now, Deepika Padukone is quite tall and is always conscious that she would look taller than her hero. Before the shooting of Karthik Calling Karthik, Farhan Akhtar had to actually stand next to her, and show her that he can match her height. However Sabir is quick to explain and says, “I don’t think it really makes a difference if the leading lady is taller than the hero.
“We opted for Deepika Padukone because we needed a face that could look contemporary and classical. Among the current line-up of actresses, only she could measure up to my script’s demands. As for Shahid, he’s an intense actor. I’m positive this pair can project the pangs of passionate love,” he added.
We, on our part, are waiting eagerly to see this fresh pair create magic on the screen.

Shilpa Shetty’s anniversary gift: An apartment in the world’s tallest building

It seems that marriage is showering bliss on leggy lass Shilpa Shetty. She had a surprise gift awaiting her on her first wedding anniversary when hubby Raj Kundra gifted her a luxury apartment on the ninetieth floor of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, Dubai. Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and IS the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m with 160 floors. The world’s highest swimming pool is located on the 76th floor.

However, the trip had its flips too. Shilpa was down with 103 degree temperature on Saturday night owing to pharyngitis. Though the fever waned by Sunday evening, she had a sore and choked throat when she finally left on Monday morning.

Kangana Ranaut has ‘No Problem’ playing mad roles

Inspite of being here for only some years, Kangna Ranaut has carved her niche in Bollywood with her innocent beauty and acting skills. She also has a national award to flaunt. However, her career is marked with roles which mostly revolve around schizophrenic acts. All her successful movies like ‘Gangster’, ‘Woh Lamhe’ and ‘Fashion’, portray her in characters who are undergoing depression and are suffering from poor mental state.
She went for a change in ‘Life In A Metro’ and also in her latest hit ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’, but is back to the same mentally disturbed role in her forthcoming release ‘No Problem’, though with a difference.
“I know what you must be thinking,” laughs Anees Bazmee, the writer and director of the film, “In fact in the promo itself she declares that woh sabse badi paagal hai. However, it is all done in a funny manner here in ‘No Problem’ instead of taking it all seriously.”
“Kangna plays Sanjana who believes that she is the most beautiful girl on earth. This is a kind of role that she has never done before. Her entire look too has gone through a complete makeover in the film. I am sure audience will really like this new ‘roop’ of hers,” added Bazmi.
As for us, we would love to see the mad side of Kangana once again with a difference, as proclaimed by the director.

‘Munni’ to be the flavor of the stage shows this New Year

Malaika Arora Khan has always been a hot favorite for item numbers and her performances on New Year eves and after her ‘Munni’ song in ‘Dabangg’, she has definitely risen not only in popularity charts but also in the price ratings. The sexy lady has been offered hefty amounts from several organizers and reports have it that the amount is near to Rs.2.5 crores per performance and even higher.

Pamela Anderson picks up a broom for ‘Big Boss’

Pamela Anderson made a sensuous entry to the Big Boss house in a white saree owing to the requests from the channel people. However, the babe has now slipped into an attire she is more comfortable with. Looking ravishing in a orange sarong benefitting her casual dressing style, the babe seemed at comfort in the house already savouring Indian food and lending a hand in cleaning the house. Seema Parihar had prepared paranthas for breakfast and served Pamela too, who in turn, picked up a broom and started sweeping the floor. Pamela Anderson landed in Mumbai Monday night. This is her first visit to India and she will stay with other inmates of the “Bigg Boss” house for three days.
The 43-year old Baywatch babe is the hot talk of the season now and her white saree managed to bring out innumerable comments on the social networking sites. ‘The length of Pamela’s saree in Bigg Boss is equal to combined length of all the clothes she has worn till date,’ someone tweeted.

Saif Ali Khan to play Krish of Chetan Bhagat’s ‘2 States’

Chetan Bhagat’s novels have already been made into successful movies earlier with like Hello (”One Night At The Call Centre”) and 3 Idiots (”5 Point Someone”). However, Bhagat was not so keen into personal involvement in both these flicks but since Siddhartha Anand’s ‘2 States’, a film adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s book, based on his own real-life experience, of a Punjabi boy who wants to marry his Tamil sweetheart but only with the consent of both their parents, is closer to his heart, he is taking keen interest in the film.
Saif Ali Khan has been chosen to play the lead and the actor plans to spend time with Chetan Bhagat to understand his character, Krish, and get into Krish’s mind. Says Bhagat on the film, “It is not important for Krish to be played by a Punjabi or Ananya to be played by a Tamilian. I’m aware Saif is not a Punjabi. To me that serves the story’s purpose even better. The whole idea of 2 States is to convey a pan-India appeal. The novel is about an inter-state union. What better way to show this than to have a non-Punjabi actor playing my Punjabi protagonist?”
Bhagat admits that 2 States is his most personal novel to date and the screen adaptation most precious to him. “Like Krish in my novel I fell in love with a Tamil girl and we decided to marry only with the parents’ consent. In the film Ek Duuje Ke Liye when the Tamil boy decides to marry the Punjabi girl, their parents slap and beat up their respective offsprings. Aaj ke din kaun bachche maar khayenge? (Which children will submit to that today?) So you could say 2 States is like Ek Duuje Ke Liye meeting Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,” he says.

Pamela Anderson to spice up Bigg Boss 4

Mercury soared up like never before when Pamela Anderson entered the Big Boss house as a celebrity guest last night, attired in a white saree by Ashley Rebello. Although she had worn a saree for the first time, she carried it off very well. She was not very keen earlier to wear a saree but the channel people convinced her for the same.
Before entering the house in Lonavala she did say, “I am not a big fan of reality shows. I love traditional shows like Baywatch.”
Meanwhile, lot has been happening on the show lately. Dolly Bindra and Sameer Soni have been evicted from the Bigg Boss house, for getting abusive, violent and breaking the rules. Also, under pressure from the civil society for taking action against broadcasters airing adult and abusive content, the information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry cracked took a decision on Wednesday that shows like Bigg Boss-4 (Colors) and Rakhi Ka Insaaf (Imagine) to air only after 11pm. Also, the notice from the I&B ministry states that such shows can not have any repeat telecast between 5am and 11pm. Moreover, the clippings of these reality shows can not be aired on news channels between 5am and 11pm.
This surely will cast a big blow on the TRP ratings of the show.

After her debut, Boom’, Katrina Kaif sobered down and it was very rarely that we saw the babe shed her clothes for any role but she has done this for Farah Khan this time as she appears on screen in nothing but a white satin sheet in the song Sheila Ki Jawani in ‘Tees Maar Khan’. She has lost quite a few kilos to flaunt her sexy figure for the song.
With respect to her character Katrina states “I play a wannabe actress. She is a very innocent girl. She doesn’t see the possibility of a person doing something wrong or anything bad. So Akshay has to run behind her from these situations she gets herself into.”
She added “She’s very ambitious but in a very simple way, not in an intelligent way. It was fun. We all didn’t take ourselves too seriously. We just kind of went with the flow.”
The film is slated to hit theatres on 24th December. Check out the new stills from the flick…..

Jacqueline Fernandez replaces Mallika Sherawat in ‘Murder 2′

It was ‘Murder’ which gave a push to Mallika Sherawat’s career making her the oomph queen of Bollywood. However, Miss Sherawat could not handle the success with her head in place and went about bragging that the film owed its success to her, thus ruining her relationship with co-star Emraan Hashmi and the Bhatt camp.
So, now when the Bhatts are planning a sequel to Murder, it will not have Mallika in the lead and she has been replaced by the Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandes. The male lead has however not been finalized yet.
The director of the sequel to Murder has changed from Anurag Basu to Mohit Suri. Miss Fernandez was not the first choice for the role. The makers of the film had approached several actresses before her including the likes of Bipasha Basu. Though Jacqueline has been in the tinselt own for quite sometime now, she has not yet tasted success. We hope this film gives the same push to her career as it had given to Mallika’s career.

Is Madhur Bhandarkar tired of chasing Kareena Kapoor for his ‘Heroine’?

From the time Madhur Bhandarkar approached Kareena Kapoor for his ambitious project ‘Heroine’, there have been speculations off and on about Kareena denying the project due to varied reasons. First it was said that Kareena wanted to delete the five lovemaking scenes in the film, which features a Bollywood actor with two kids. It was because her beau Saif Ali Khan bears close resemblance with the character. Again, it was said that quit the film because her director friend Lovely Singh’s father was not allowed to meet Bhandarkar, even after waiting for three hours at his office. Latest reports also have it that his producers want to start with the project immediately – with or without Kareena and the latter’s current work commitments make her busy for more than a year.
Whatever, be the reason, Madhur seems to be tired of chasing Kareena now and inside reports have it that Bhandarkar has had a covert meeting with Aishwarya to woo her for ‘Heroine’. However, Madhir chose to go for a diplomatic answer when questioned on this. He said, “I’m still busy with my film and have no time to meet anyone. I will start meeting people soon.”
Heroine is believed to be a modern-day version of Shyam Benegal’s 1977 film Bhumika, which starred Smita Patil. Bhumika was based on the life of renowned Marathi actress Hansa Wadkar whereas Heroine is supposed to be on a Bollywood actress and her relationships with the five men in her life.

Sonam Kapoor vs. Shobhaa De: The spat turns uglier

Gone are the days when girls and especially actresses were supposed to be sweet, decent and gentle in their mannerisms. With the new generation of actors, accusations and angry remarks have become the call of the day. Here we are talking about Sonam Kapoor who showed her greyer side when columnist and ‘Page 3′ writer Shobhaa De chose to give some not very sweet remarks about her recent release ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ by naming it ‘I Hate Dumb Storys’. Sonam had openly criticized the writer and took the criticism personally.
Since then, the two ladies make it a point to grab every opportunity of making an attack on each other. Sonam came across such an opportunity at the Halloween Bash of Bombay Times. The Kapoor girl had a long discussion with Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh telling them why Shobhaa was a apt contender for the ‘Wicked Witch’ title of Bollywood and the other two seemed to agree with Sonam.
With this, Sonam makes it clear that her ears can adjust only to the sweet songs of praises…..

Hrithik Roshan flaunts his chiseled body in Maldives

Denims are perhaps the most stylish attire for men and to promote a brand of jeans, an actor must have a chiseled lean body to flaunt.
