• The Malaika-Katrina war hots up

  There’s been a buzz about Malaika Arora Khan disliking her brother-in-law Salman’s girlfriend Katrina Kaif.  It was noticed by many when she gave Katrina’s grand birthday bash a miss. Malaika’s struggling sister Amrita who makes it a point to hang around with the Khans all the time didn’t bother to even wish Kat! Apparently they share icy cold vibes whenever they are with each other! The latest is that Salman wanted his lady love Katrina to be in brother Arbaaz Khan’s maiden production venture but Malaika put her foot down. This in spite of Katrina being one of the leading actresses of B-Town today! It’s another matter that Kat can’t act at all. But we are sure that even Malaika knows nothing about acting! After all she’s making her acting debut now, that too in an itsy bitsy role in ‘EMI’. All these years she’s only been the item girl in various flicks! Well, Malaika can be jealous too. After all Kat has been lucky enough to achieve a lot in a short span of time.  The Khans have also been upset with Kat since she agreed to further her career by being a part of the Shah Rukh camp. Malaika must have taken full advantage of the fact. Arbaaz like an obedient hubby acted according to his dear wife’s wish. So Katrina is out of the flick even though Salman is playing the lead role.  Wonder how Kat plans to fit into this hostile family environment! Or maybe she thinks that being with Salman and his folks is just another stopgap arrangement!

   

  Aamir loves Kareena’s hot bod Kareena Kapoor’s size zero frame has found many admirers and the latest to join the bandwagon is Aamir Khan.  The religious workout schedule is paying rich dividends for Bebo. The very talented Aamir who’s her co-star in ‘3 Idiots’ has confessed that Kareena has a ravishing body.  The actor said this in a recent interview, “Kareena has a great body. She is a fitness freak and her devotion towards her workouts has definitely made an impact on me.”  Aamir usually keeps to himself during the shoots but he has become close to Kareena. It’s all because of the common interest (fitness) that they share! Aamir is impressed with her dedication and he wants people to take her as an example to religiously stick to a workout regime.  Thanks to tedious workouts and dieting, Kareena created a lot of buzz with her super slim body in ‘Tashan’ (though it didn’t really help the cause of the film). Aamir is doing the same with his great physique in the promos of ‘Ghajini’.  And there were many who thought that Aamir can never have that kind of a body!  The perfectionist sure has a thing for all dedicated and sincere folks of the world!

But something in me died when LOVE STORY 2050 and DRONA flopped. I was heartbroken, ” Priyanka tells me. In a heart-to-heart conversation with this writer, Priyanka admits that Fashion has come as a breather. “I stand by my films. And it felt really nice when Fashion opened well.  All of us had worked very, very hard on the film and it feels good when people react so warmly. Madhur (Bhandarkar) is the true hero of the film, ” she smiles. Though Priyanka has never courted controversies, there’s talk that Salman and she don’t get along, which explains the inordinate delay in the making of GOD TUSSI GREAT HO. “The film got delayed due to various factors. I wasn’t the cause for its delay definitely…  As for Salman not wanting to work with me, I have heard this from various people. But he has always been nice to me whenever we’ve met. I have no problems with him, ” Priyanka is forthright. What about Akshay Kumar? Will we see Akki and Priyanka teaming up again? After all, they’ve delivered several hits in the past. “I have no issues absolutely, ” she adds. Jim Carrey likes to dabble in women’s clothing: Jenny McCarthy American actor Jim Carreys girlfriend Jenny McCarthy has revealed that he likes to try on women’’s clothes. Carrey, 46, had shocked onlookers on a Californian beach earlier this year when he wore McCarthy’’s sexy black swimming costume during celebrations for American Independence Day on July 4. And, according to the actress, that was not the only time that he had tried out womens outfits. All I can say is that he’’s a great, great guy who sometimes likes to dabble in women’’s clothing, Contactmusic quoted her as saying. McCarthy also revealed that the two of them were in no rush to walk down the aisle. We are just happy as we are, she added.   Wallpapers of Jenny McCarthy Dealing with nude pictures on Internet was truamatic: Hudgens Vanessa Hudgens, star of “High School Musical”, says it was a traumatic experience when her nude pictures surfaced on the Internet but family and friends helped her to deal with it. Although she doesn’t regret it, Hudgens confessed she learnt some difficult lessons from the incident, reports mirror.co.uk. She said, “I think that everything happens for a reason and I wouldn’t take back anything I’ve done. I don’t like talking about it because it was something that was meant to be private and I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. “It was very traumatic and I was extremely upset it happened, but I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends and fans who supported me all the way.” She was just 18 when the risqué pics appeared of her posing naked and in skimpy lingerie. She had to apologise to fans and was almost removed from the cast of the movie “High School Musical”. She called her decision “lapse of judgment.” Hudgens, now 19, added, “I feel that I’m growing up and I’m learning. I’m in control of what’s happening next. At times it’s been hard, but I feel so lucky to be where I’m at now.”   Wallpapers of Vanessa Hudgens All my men used me for Sex, Fame and Fortune: Paris Hilton

  The hotel heiress broke her silence to condemn the pesky string of her exes. “Every other guy I’ve been out with has used me for money or sex – but in most cases they just want fame. It made it hard to trust people,” News of the World quoted her, as saying. Topping her treachery hit list is ex-beau Rick Salomon, the small-time film producer, who made millions selling the infamous home-made sex tape of Paris, which was originally leaked on the internet. “I loved this guy for three years but he betrayed me. Rick’s a scumbag and I hate him,” she said. “It was just the most horrible thing that’s ever happened to me. So humiliating and embarrassing. But at the end of the day, I didn’t do anything wrong,” she added. She also boosted the flagging careers of ex-Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and Greek shipping heirs Paris Latsis and Stavros Niarchos III, who ditched her after using their newfound celebrity to snare other women. “After a while I had to start questioning exactly why somebody wanted to be with me. And that made things really difficult. I’m so relieved I don’t have to think about that now because I’ve found someone who loves me for me. Benji’s my best friend and I know he’d never hurt me,” she said. And after months of denials, Paris has finally admitted that she is looking forward to start a family. “I’d love to start a family in the next year. And I want to get married before we have kids—I want three or four,” she said. “My love life’s in the happiest place it’s ever been. Benji’s with me because he loves me and that’s it. I know I can trust him, and he knows he can trust me,” she added.

  Golmaal Returns

  Rating: *** 2 years back, Golmaal was just another comedy multi starrer that had hit the screens and turned into a success. Circa 2008 and suddenly one finds its sequel, Golmaal Returns, being elevated to the status of being a potential blockbuster. Reasons are aplenty: a) The first installment of Golmaal is still afresh in the mind of cine goers and is being appreciated in it’s satellite and DVD run.  b) The sequel looks bigger and better with Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd, becoming a formidable force in the passage of time. Coming in of Kareena Kapoor, Celina Jaitley, Amrita Arora and Anjana Sukhani has only added to the star quotient of the film. c) The film is mounted at a much bigger scale, something which is pretty much on display courtesy ‘dhamakedaar’ promos d) Director Rohit Shetty now has three successful films to his credit, though at varied degree, in the form of Sunday, Golmaal and Zameen. The young director is truly one of the top ‘masala’ filmmakers we have today.  e) Last but certainly not the least, past 18 months gone by have truly belonged to Pritam. 2008 has been phenomenal with Race, Singh Is Kinng, Jannat and Kismat Konnection. No wonder, Golmaal Returns is being looked as the next BIG winner for Pritam. With Sameer as the writing partner, Pritam can’t really afford to go wrong on this big project. So does he deliver?  Pretty much so! Golmaal Returns has the kind of music which goes as per Shetty’s sensibilities of ‘action packed score’ and Pritam does well in giving a ‘Race’ feel to the proceedings that ensures that listeners have their hands full of playing one more rip roaring score which is going to blaze on well in fast moving cars, dance floors and pubs.  No, don’t expect any soothing melodies that Pritam has earlier composed for Jannat or Life… In A Metro. Here he goes holds-no-bar and comes up with a ‘dhinchaak’ score which is good enough for Shetty to create eye catching visuals that would surely attract audience into the theaters! Cards are laid out wide open at the very onset with ‘Tha Kar Ke’ which surprisingly has a newbie composer Ashish Pandit at the helm of affairs.  Even though this dance number has a trademark Pritam sound to it with regular Neeraj Shridhar behind the mike, ‘Tha Kar Ke’ is mainly credited to Ashish Pandit who does a fantastic job in coming up with a chartbuster number that just can’t go wrong. Shot on a lavish scale, this ‘let’s get rocking’ song has Anvesha, Aakariti, Earl and Indie providing Neeraj some very good support which keeps his Hit record intact. The number boasts of some lavish arrangements and with a huge orchestra supporting the tune, the ‘remix version’ turns out to be even funkier and makes you head for that dance floor pronto! Nostalgia of Vishal-Shekhar’s title song ‘Golmaal’ (sung by Anushka Manchanda) is back with the number ‘Vacancy’ which uses the punch word ‘Golmaal’ that is amalgamated well into the tune created by Pritam.  The number takes on exactly from where ‘Tha Kar Ke’ left and sees coming together of English as well as Hindi lyrics. Yet again, the number boasts of a full-on arrangement which leave hardly a pause in the entire 5 minute duration. With Neeraj Shridhar leading the charge yet again, the number (with Sameer, Neeraj Shridhar and Ashish Pandit coming together for the lyrics) also features Benny, Suhail and Suzi Q who keep the racy mood intact for Golmaal Returns and ensures that it would scale up the charts. The ‘Kilogram Remix’, as the name suggests, is quite a handful and successfully manages to throw its weight! 15 years back, ‘Tu Saala’ would have been classified as a ‘chalu’ number. Today, with modern day arrangements and a classy setting, this one would go down as a number which would work well both amongst the college going youngsters as well as the masses. Don’t bother too much about the lyrics here, this one again is a ‘beats driven’ number (expectedly appearing in a remix version too) which sees Anushka Manchanda in a different avtar altogether. Though the rhythm here is predominantly Indian, the arrangements are Western which gives it a different feel.  The number won’t go as far as ‘Tha Kar Ke’ and ‘Vacancy’ but should be an eye candy on screen, courtesy all the hot-bods that Golmaal Returns boasts of. Monali had impressed one and all in her sensual rendition of ‘Touch Me Touch Me’ [Race] earlier this year. In Golmaal Returns she returns along with Suzy Q for a song that has been interestingly titled ‘Meow’.  A naughty number with a sensual touch to it, ‘Meow’ has quite some attitude to it which would truly appeal to Generation X.  With Hindi lyrics by Sameer and Neeraj Shridhar, Ashish Pandit & Indie contributing with English lyrics, ‘Meow’ is a Hinglish track that has the kind of sound which has almost been patented by Pritam. Though the number does touch upon dark shades as well, it primarily remains a little quirky and is catchy enough to warrant two more versions – a full on ‘English version’ and a ‘remix version’. One looks forward to see how the ‘English version’ fits into the narrative since it has quite some interesting lyrics to boast of! To bring back the nostalgia of the Golmaal, there is also a pleasant surprise in the form of an entire soundtrack by Vishal-Shekhar from the original which is included as a part of the package. Golmaal Returns is yet another winner from Pritam and guest composer Ashish Pandit who delivers what is expected from a soundtrack for a film belonging to action-comedy genre.  No one attempts to do anything exceptional or different from routine and walk the path that has been successful in the months gone by. The music may not go the ‘Race’ way but does well enough to ensure immense awareness about the film due to its fast paced approach.

         

  Victoria Beckham to strip for 12 million pounds

  Former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham will strip for a high profile ad campaign for Giorgio Armani for a 12 million pound deal – she will feature in her underwear in the advertisement and her hubby can’t wait to see the first shots. Mirror.co.uk reports that her husband, football star David Beckham, had months back posed for the same range and that time Victoria was quite proud of the ad. A close friend of the singer said, “Victoria adored David’s underwear campaign, not least because it was quite raunchy. She always used to laugh with her girlie pals about David’s bulging packet on bill-boards and how proud she was. “So she just jumped at the chance to follow suit and be involved in a similar campaign – and it will probably be just as sexy. David can’t wait to see the first shots of his wife in her undies.” Another source close to her added, “Victoria is very much aware there is a limited shelf life for any woman as to how long they can model, let alone model underwear. “She is over the moon and extremely flattered to be the face and body of such a high-profile advertising campaign.”   Gay kissing scene dropped from Fashion Madhur Bhandarkar is known for making hard-hitting and realistic cinema; hence facing controversies around his film’s release is something which is not new to this talented filmmaker.  His latest film Fashion starring Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut and Mugdha Godse in lead roles opened across cinema halls yesterday (Oct 29) and this time too, Madhur had to deal with a fair share of controversies. Firstly, there were rumors that Kangna’s character in the film has been inspired by noted Delhi based model Geetanjali Nagpal. Then the censor board irked Madhur by giving him an ‘A’ certificate as they felt the film had certain objectionable scenes for kids. However, the director could have got himself into more trouble had he included a gay kissing scene in the film.  The scene had actors Samir Soni and Anil Kumar share a kiss in a car but Madhur decided to drop the scene at the last minute as he didn’t want any further complications . However, for all of you who indeed want to have a dekko of the same, the director is planning to include it in the DVD of the film. Must say, Madhur has already started promoting the DVD of Fashion in a smart way.

   

  Katrina Kaif’s night out for Rs 1 crore

  Katrina Kaif is surely riding high these days. After delivering hits like Namastey London, Welcome, Race and latest being Singh Is Kinng, Katrina has indeed moved to the A-league. Now the actress is cashing in on this very popularity of hers by agreeing to perform at a grand show in Mumbai on New Year’s Eve. Katrina would be performing at Mumbai’s plush J.W. Marriott hotel on 31st Dec 08. The actress, needless to say has been paid a huge sum of money, for this performance. While Rocky S will design a sexy outfit for Katrina, Bosco-Caesar will choreograph the show. A source close to Katrina said, “Yes, Katrina is getting Rs 1 crore and she will dance to some very racy numbers. Top Bollywood actresses dancing on New Year’s Eve is very exciting.” Katrina, however, refused to confirm the amount but said, “Yes, I am performing at the Marriott on December 31. We have finalised the deal.”  Noted designer Rocky S would be in charge of her costumes while Bosco-Caesar will be choreographing her act.  It may be recalled that last New Year’s Eve saw Bipasha Basu performing at the same hotel while the year before that saw Mallika Sherawat move her body.  This year however, all eyes will be on Katrina, as she brings in the New Year performing to some of her biggest hits.

  Bollywood Gossip : Realistic Bollywood filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar’s keenly awaited film FASHION will have a limited audience!

   

  The Censor Board of Film Certification has passed FASHION under ‘A’ (Adult) certificate after they watched the film. On seeing the movie the censor board on many occasions felt that there were many such scenes which are not fit for family viewing.

  As per few reports Bhandarkar was not happy with Censor Board’s decision. Madhur who is quite enthusiastic about his dear project FASHION, was expecting an U/A certificate. He even argued for the same with the board members but they stood adamant. They were ready only under one condition, if Madhur deletes few scenes.

  When Madhur Bhandarkar refused to do so, the members had no option other than certifying it as ‘A’.

  When we contacted Madhur to confirm the same he said, “Yeah that’s true that Censor Board asked me to delete atleast 6 scenes. But I couldn’t agree on the same as the theme of FASHION happens to be out and out glamorous. And deleting scenes from the movie would not have done justice to the film or blend in. I tried my best to convince them that deleting the scenes means removing the integral part from the film and compromising on realistic aspect of the movie. I certainly never expected that the board would give it a ‘U’ certificate, but I was sure enough to get an U/A certificate.”

  He further adds, “Since it would not have been a good option to hold the movie for the simple reason of certification, I didn’t go for a further revising, though I had an option to appeal to the committee of the board against the Examining Committee’s decision.”

  Now the bollywood film will hit the screens on the assigned date i.e. 29th October.

  The journey of the rise and fall and phoenix like re-birth of India’s number one Supermodel.

  Set against the glittering backdrop of the glamorous but ruthless world of haute couture fashion, this tells the story of one small town girl with a dream and the determination to make it a reality
  Meghna Mathur knew in her bones that she was meant to be famous. Ever ambitious and bright with stars in her eyes, even as a girl with conservative parents from a small north Indian town – she dared to dream of bright lights and the big city…
  The world of fashion – the clothes, the colors, the make-up. . . all of these form a part of a fascinating world that Meghna’s longed to be a part of.
  Meghna never wanted to compromise on anything on her journey to success – as she puts it – whoever said intelligent women couldn’t be glamorous?
  She reaches the peak of her success and rises to walk the ramps for leading designers across India.
  The fashion world lies at her feet – the parties, the brand endorsements, the photographers, the models, the romance and of course – the shows, the shows, the shows!
  However karma catches up with Meghna as she slowly starts to pay the price for her fame and her journey to the top.
  Her attempt at a comeback was going to be a near impossibility . . .
  However she was never a woman to turn away from a challenge…
  “Fashion” explores the world of style through the emotional personal journey of the key people that make the industry – the dream-weavers of that elaborate world of glamour: the models, designers, photographers, businessmen, agencies etc.
  In the world of image – makers – is it possible to conquer it and remain true to yourself?

   

• Amrita: inspired by simplicity 

In the world of the Kanganas and the Katrinas, it’s difficult for a girl with a simple and sweet image like Amrita Rao to hold her own.

Even actresses who started off as girls next door like Minissha Lamba are trying hard for a super sexy makeover.

But Amrita Rao is doing well, her own way. This, inspite of being criticized time and again for being a behenji. After playing a convincing teen in ‘Main Hoon Na’ and a few flops later, she went ahead and turned simple and sweet for ‘Vivaah’ and the well made ‘Welcome to Sajjanpur’. 

In between there was a slightly sexy makeover for ‘My name is Anthony Gonsalves’ which didn’t do her a world of good since the movie tanked. People seem to like Amrita only sweet and simple.

Now the lass is getting a chance to star with Amitabh Bachchan in Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s next flick.

She’ll be playing Arjun Rampal’s wife and Tabu and Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law in his upcoming film, ‘The Legend of Kunal’.

According to the director, it is a very difficult role for Amrita. Though Tabu plays the central character, Amrita is very important to the central drama. 

Tabu portrays trishna (thirst), whereas Amrita shows purity and honesty. It was Mrs Jaya Bachchan who suggested Amrita’s name for the role of Kanchanmala. And since she’s both delicate and strong and can stand up against a powerful Tabu, she’s being rightly cast.

Now that’s lots of praise for the young actress. Should we say she is an inspiration for the few simple girls of B-Town?
