Looks like the break up has fetched Shahid Kapoor, a huge number of admirers. While Kareena is not very much appreciated by the masses for dumping the bollywood’s eye candy, Shahid is the new guy in pain on the block attracting various beauties from various feilds. First, it was Vidya balan, then tennis star Sania Mirza and now the latest admirer is Jiah Khan with whome Shahid’s latest flick is booked with. The girl is so madly impressed with the actor that she even agreed to chop off her beloved long locks at his insist.
Seems like Bebo missed on a real impressive cutie.

So it’s not only Ranbir Kapoor and rest of Deepika’s fans who think that she is the prettiest, it’s also the much-talked-about painter M.F Hussain who think she is just a perfect creation of the almighty. M.F. Hussain met Deepika at an award function in London where he was mesmerized by her beauty.

“She has the most expressive and striking beautiful eyes. Her eyes are like two planets, full of light and life,”

is what he says in a lost tone.
Now, no points for guessing who might be the new muse for Hussain’s next painting.

At least this is what these pictures say. The actress who has never been seen in any other clothing except the ethnic Indian wear hangs out in western dresses with deep neck lines. This picture is of Sonam Kapoor hanging out with a group of friends of which are mostly males at a private party.
Guess it was her papa who wanted to make this bombshell to enter the industry with a good girl’s image. After all he is this girl’s dad!!

Hrithik Roshan is to be seen in a new hot n steamy image in his next flick “Kites”. The film is being directed by Anurag Basu, and will project the papa of two kids as a hottie.

“Kites will show Hrithik as never before. And the girls chosen to play Hrithik’s wife and mistress are Kangana Ranaut and Barabara Mori who have been briefed about the steamy sensuous scenes in the film. Neither of the two ladies is known to be particularly coy. Kangana and Barbara are more than willing to go with the script.” is what an insider says.

Looks like this actor is surely getting sexier with the age.

Now this is the pair of love birds which is going places with their work and love. Even before their first film together hits the screen, the duos were offered Ashutosh Gowarikar’s next movie whish is said to be inspired from an English play. The wonderful looking couple had attracted the director’s attention and were approached for the roles in the movie.
While the pair looks great off screen, we still need to wait and watch if they can create a magic on screen

After enduring a low phase and indulging in substance abuse to combat stress over the custody of her children, Britney Spears has now headed off for a vacation. And accompanying the actress is none other than the Australian actor Mel Gibson who has had his fair share of controversial statements in the media.

The duo boarded a flight from California’s ‘Bob Hope Airport’ to fly to Costa Rica and apparently will stay at Gibson’s home in the city.

In fact, Britney and Mel were neighbours back in Malibu and their holiday to Costa Rica is said to a short relaxation trip.

A representative for the couple was quoted as “We’re delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends,” to People’s magazine.

Lhuillier while her diamond necklace and earrings were crafted by Neil Lane.

Speaking to the media, Ashlee said, “Though hesitant at first about a lavish wedding, mow that I’m doing it, I definitely have that big dream. It kind of went more fairytale than I thought. I got really into it.” Though the couple has not yet confirmed the news, it is widely speculated that Ashlee is pregnant with Pete’s child who she began dating in 2006.

Paris Hilton has been paid 70,000 pounds as fees for turning up at Mayfair’s ‘Mahiki’ nightclub in London. The glamourous heiress was at the venue with her boyfriend Benji Madden. Hilton who is finally stable after relapses of substance abuse was seen downing a couple of cocktails at the club upon her arrival while her boyfriend chose to spin some tracks and get the crowd grooving.

However, Mahiki’s owners were not too pleased with Paris as apparently she arrived late at 1.40 am which translated her presence at the club into a ’50 minute scene’ instead of the stipulated three hour appearance. However, according to a clubber, Paris Hilton was chilling out at the club and was nothing close to her public image of a snob.

Bollywood has always been making its presence felt at an international level. Now it’s going to the very fount of global entertainment by producing Hollywood films.

Anil Ambani’s Reliance Big Entertainment (RBE) has signed deals to provide development funds to eight leading creative forces in Hollywood. The deals include those with production houses like Nicolas Cage’s Saturn Productions, Jim Carrey’s JC 23 Entertainment, George Clooney’s Smokehouse Productions, Chris Columbus’s 1492 Pictures, Tom Hanks’s Playtone Productions, Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment and Jay Roach’s Everyman Pictures.

This means that the company will provide for the creation of a development corpus for each of the Hollywood A-listers. The movies that will be made could initially amount to $1 billion.

This could easily be the amalgamation of the Indian Film industry with Hollywood. The Indian Film industry has always been closely associated with Hollywood. A number of actors from Bollywood have acted in Hollywood and vice-versa.

The collaboration could also see Amitabh Bachchan who is very close to Anil Ambani acting in a Hollywood film. Bachchan has The Last Lear to his credit and this step can finally see the Sean Connery of Bollywood give the original Sean Connery a run for his money.

We have to wait and watch how things progress from here. But for Reliance Entertainment it is surely going to be a ‘BIG’ step forward.

NEW DELHI: ICC on Monday appeared surprised at film star Shah Rukh Khan’s statement that its anti-corruption unit had asked him not to be with the team on the playing field, saying that the IPL tournament was being played under BCCI’s rules and regulations.

The ICC said the IPL was a domestic tournament and the game’s governing body did not have any role in formulating the rules.

“The reported incident has nothing to do with the ICC as IPL is a domestic tournament which is being held under the Rules and Regulations of the BCCI,” an ICC spokesman said from Dubai.

“Furthermore, the ICC Board in its meeting held in Dubai on 17-18 March had decided that IPL will introduce a code of conduct, an anti-corruption code and an anti-doping code that complies with ICC regulations,” he said.

Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan last night expressed disappointment, claiming he had been barred by the ICC anti-corruption unit from going to the team dug out and dressing room in the remaining IPL matches.

“I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me,” he said.

“I don’t know the ICC rules. I’ll tell only one thing. Nobody dare stop me from coming to Kolkata. I’ll be here whenever my team plays a match at the Eden,” Khan said.

Asked whether Shah Rukh needed an accreditation for the IPL matches, the ICC spokesman said, “Everybody needs an accreditation and these are in line with anti-corruption code. BCCI is following anti-corruption code. Now I don’t know what modifications they have made to the code.”

Knight Riders CEO Joy Bhattacharya played down the event and said Shah Rukh was actually stopped by security personnel for not carrying a visitors’ pass.

“Look there is nothing like that. It was a gentleman from the security who stopped Shah Rukh Khan. He said Shah Rukh didn’t have a valid visitor’s pass…I don’t think there is any controversy or issue,” he said.

He said the ICC rules were to make sure that bookies didn’t enter the dressing room.

“When these rules were framed, the concept of franchisee owners’ domestic tournament didn’t even come, the law was not framed to stop people like Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Mukesh Ambani or Vijay Mallya from walking into the dressing room,” he said.

“According to even ICC regulations, there is a system of visitor’s pass, the manager and team management sign it. The person can be allowed in the dressing room as long as it is signed by. So there is no way to stop Shah Rukh from entering the dressing room,” Bhattacharya added.

KOLKATA: Former Indian captain Mohd Azharuddin on Monday said that Soruav Ganguly was still ‘good enough’ to play ODIs and Twenty20 formats of cricket.

“He is still good enough for the shorter versions of the game,” Azhar said at a function where Ganguly was felicitated for playing 100 Tests and 300 ODIs for India.

Recalling Ganguly’s phenomenal talent, Azhar said “When I first saw him during an ODI at Manchester, I thought he can do it, he can go a long way”.

Referring to Ganguly’s century at Lords on debut, he said “I felt very impressed by the century, as he looked like someone with six to seven years’ experience in Tests. The innings was that matured”.

Again going down memory lane, Azhar said “When he played with me, he never wanted to stand close-in, but nowadays I see him standing close-in and doing well”.

Azhar professed the Kolkata Knight Riders would go to the final under Ganguly’s leadership.

Ganguly also exduded confidence that his side would come out of the rough times. “My team is going through bad times, but we will come out of it.”

Asked what motivated him to keep going, Ganguly said “It’s my love for the game. Ask the same question to Rahul and Sachin and they will say the same thing

KOLKATA: Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan on Sunday night expressed disappointment at the ICC Anti Corruption Unit barring him from going to the team dug out and dressing room in the remaining matches.

“I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me. I don’t know the ICC rules. I’ll tell only one thing. Nobody dare stop me from coming to Kolkata. I’ll be here whenever my team plays a match at the Eden,” Khan said.

Earlier in the day, the Anti Corruption Unit officials had cautioned the actor about going into the dressing room and the team dug out during the Indian Premier League match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings.

Sources said later they directed the matinee idol to stay away from these areas in the remaining matches of his team.

Asked about the Knight Riders’ defeat against the Chennai side, he said, “You play the game to win. We feel sad when the boys lose. But such things happen.

“I work hard. I want them to work harder. I would have liked the Kolkata Knight Riders to reach the final,” he said.

On the Knight Riders’s success as a brand, SRK said “With the help of colleagues we’ve done something for this. Still there is a long way to go before it becomes the number one sporting brand”.

Khan said he was overwhelmed by the response of the Kolkata public and conceded the gate sales had fetched him twice the amount he had expected.

Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, the golden couple, have gone ahead and got engaged. So far, so good. The only hitch is, nobody seems to have conveyed the good news to their families, or them!

Deepika’s father, Prakash Padukone seems to have had enough. Answering phone calls about his daughter’s rumoured engagement, he says, “We are not even aware of this development and nobody has told us anything. That’s because it is just not true!”

Ranbir’s sister Riddhima is much more forthcoming. “These are all stupid rumours. I don’t know where they get such bizarre news from! Deepika seems to have been misquoted and nothing of the sort has happened. Ranbir is out of India for a film shoot and he was so surprised when he heard about this. In fact, he was shocked! Both of them have a long way to go and it is just the beginning of their careers! Marriage to bahut dur ki baat hai.”

Mother Neetu Kapoor also seconds that. “I am sure that Deepika has been misquoted.” Neetu says these kind of rumours happen if you are a part of the industry. “This is a part of film industry life. Kuch na kuch to hota rahta hai. I don’t react to all this at all. That’s because I have gone through this myself and with my husband. I have been connected to some hero or the other. My husband cannot flirt because he is not that type. I guess one just has to laugh it off !” Now, are Deepika and Ranbir doing so?
