Both Bipasha Basu and John Abraham have been busy this year getting their respective homes renovated.
Bipasha, it seems, has won the race to renovation. Her home in Khar (Mumbai) under renovation for the past one year is finally ready. And she is moving back to her home.
Heaving a sigh of relief Bipasha said, “The house warming puja is tomorrow (Wednesday) since there is no other auspicious day close by.
But it will take another ten days for all of us to move back into our home. It’s been one helluva wait.
The architects and designers took much longer than we thought they would. But finally I’m going home. I can’t wait. I’m tired of living out of suitcases.”
Bipasha’s boyfriend John, currently shooting in London will have to wait more for his home to be ready.
His family home on Bandra Bandstand has been under renovation for some months now, with no sign of completion yet. Now with John in London until September the work may take longer. “But I’m not worried. My brother is an architect and he’s taking good care of the renovation work,” says John from London with a false bravado.
However now that his better half’s home is done John intends to fly back from London periodically to check out the progress with his home. “I’m thinking of coming down for one day every weekend, if that’s possible. But I’m glad Bipasha’s home is finally ready. That’s as good as my own home, no?”

Aishwarya to crack down on the false stories about her private life

Aishwarya to crack down on the false stories about her private life
Upset over "fabricated" media stories about her private life, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has threatened legal action against those responsible, a statement issued by her publicist said Thursday.
"Certain sections of the press have been behaving in a callous manner and have been putting together articles or pieces without any semblance of truth and furthermore they have been attributing quotes to the actor which are baseless and false.
Previously our client preferred to remain silent to let better sense prevail be it the news when she was married off to a tree or otherwise. This silence should not be misconstrued as a weakness, " the statement read.
The statement was issued to counter an article titled "Career more important than family" by a website where one of the quotes attributed to the actress read:
"If I want to remain in the film industry then I need to stay fit", that implied that she will not have children. The article also stated that her actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan was in agreement with her stand.
"She is one actress who never made any statements that her marriage can wait and she will focus on her career. When she did, she got her family's blessings and got married in the middle of a film and has been a thorough professional even after her wedding, " the statement said.
"We must not forget that besides being a star in every right Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is about a daughter, a wife, and a daughter in law, a symbol of our tradition and she has always believed and practiced values that govern our society. Irresponsible statements about her private life will not be left to grow without a strong rebuttal, " it added.
The statement also warned of strict legal action against those behind such stories about the 35-year-old. "This may be read and understood in no uncertain terms that hence forth we would be forced to take legal recourse in any such event of a piece or article appearing without any credibility or which is an absolute fabrication of one's imagination... We must respect Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for her stand to remain silent on such baseless rumors but it would be wrong to use her name to further a personal cause or career, " it read.

Mallika Sherawat avoids nude shot again?

Mallika Sherawat avoids nude shot again
When we first saw the promos of Mallika Sherawat starrer Hissss, we got the impression that she has indeed given a nude shot in the film.
There were sequences seen in the extended promo that showed a nude butt shot of Mallika sliding in the mud and turning into a deadly snake.
We were in fact the first ones to have reported about it back then. While it suggested it was her.
We have now found out that it is actually a body double used instead of Mallika. So what actually happened to this dare bare attitude girl who once shed all her inhibitions on screen?
It is learnt that when the shoot for the shot was going to take place, she requested to the film's director, Jennifer Lynch that.
She would not be able to do the scene and it would be better to use a body double. Jennifer perhaps understood her predicament and canned the shot with a body double.
But this hasn't been the first instance when Mallika has chickened out of giving a nude shot. Apparently, she was earlier supposed to do a nude scene in Mahesh Bhatt's Murder (2004) but when she reached the sets she developed cold feet.

Bipasha’s Hollywood dream comes to an end

bipasha

Just few days back there were tabloid reports about Bipasha Basu’s first Hollywood project starring Titanic villain Billy Zane, going on floors. But now news has trickled in that the project is being scrapped. It was supposed to begin shooting on July 25th. It is learnt that producer Smita Thackeray had backed out with reasons being cited as personal and professional. This yet to be titled film was to be directed by David Silverman and was to feature Bipasha in Angelina Jolie’s Lara Croft avatar. It was supposed to be shot in Kodaikanal and had actor Rajvirr of Kaise Kahen (2007) fame playing Bipasha’s second love interest.

The film was to have Bipasha doing some intense love making scenes with both Billy and Rajvirr. Rumour mills suggest- the choice of Rajvirr as the male lead wasn’t appreciated but Smita Thackeray was adamant about him playing the role. However now that Smita has backed out from the film, it only means that for now Bipasha’s dream of going international has come to a standstill, at least for now. Though for a long time both Bipasha and her boyfriend John Abraham have been trying to go international, they haven’t succeeded.

Party time for Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma

Bangalore girl Anushka Sharma, who is currently shooting for a film with Shahid Kapoor, got a chance to dash to her hometown for a day recently. She was there for some filmi event… but was ecstatic to learn that her friends, whom she had studied with, were down in the city as well.They study abroad now, so it was a great coincidence that they were in Bangalore at the same time. We had a girl’s night out — chatted, ate pizzas and stayed up all night.

It was a blast, but the trip was too short,” complained Anushka.About her friends’ reactions on her first movie with Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka said, “They’ve all seen Rab Ne… and loved it. Apparently, Anu’s dosts watched back to back shows on the first day itself, and that, too, from row one, as all the tickets were sold out. So have they asked for an introduction to the charming SRK, as yet?They love him, but have never asked me to set up any meeting. Thank God for that. They’re now more excited about my next release than I am,” she said.

So Anushka and her gang of girls will probably munch on some popcorn and watch her second flick together… again from row one, because Anushka, of course, wishes that this time, too, the movie runs houseful.

Kareena-Katrina

With Kambakkht Ishq and New York earning big bucks at the box office, the race for Bollywood’s top slot has just got hotter. But instead of making sarcastic jibes, tinsel town’s leading ladies seem to have formed a mutual admiration society.In a recent interview Katrina Kaif said she was ‘nowhere near Kareena Kapoor as a performer’. Katrina’s act of diplomacy seems to have gone down very well with Miss Kapoor.The usually frank Bebo who has in the past rubbed many actresses the wrong way, acknowledged all the flattery from Katrina.

On Monday afternoon Kareena spoke at the launch of a new line of diamond jewellery in the Mumbai.Incidentally Katrina Kaif also endorses another line designed by the same company. When asked about Katrina she said, “I am very grateful and thankful to Katrina for all the nice things she has said about me”.

Will LIFE PARTNER help Amrita Rao break her image?

Will LIFE PARTNER help Amrita Rao break her image?
Hardly a handful of films old, Amrita Rao already has two superhits, MAIN HOON NA, VIVAAH and three hits, ISHQ VISHK, MASTI and WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR listed in her resume. Most of the roles that she essayed were performance oriented ones, in which the producers used her girl next door, innocent and demure looks and thus she sort of got caught up in that image.
However, it appears that Amrita, like all actresses, wants to prove her versatility, and so is trying her level best to break free of the pretty girl next door image. The first movie where we got to see her in mini skirts and a sexy 'avatar' was MY NAME IS ANTHONY GONSALVES.The E. Niwas directed venture, which was also the debut film of the Shah Rukh look alike (of DEEWANA days) Nikhil Dwivedi, sank without a trace and thus Amrita's first attempt at turning glam went kaput. But the never say die attitude of Amrita saw her returning once again in a glamorous makeover in the recently released, SHORT KUT-THE CON IS ON.
Unfortunately even that proved to be a debacle. But, the film industry, which is quite apathetic to failures, has fortunately given Amrita another chance. And we now have a third film, Abbas-Mustan's LIFE PARTNER, starring ex-comedy king Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor, Genelia D'Souza and of course Amrita Rao .
Since the film is being produced by Abbas-Mustan, the required glam quotient is naturally present and so there is a scope for Amrita to break free from her image, and present her 'sexy' side successfully. And we will come to know about it when the film releases on August 14. While on LIFE PARTNER, Amrita Rao essays an extended special appearance in the film.

Another actress in this row is Celina Jaitely, who bought special t-shirts for the crew of her film 'Paying Guest'. And Deepika Padukone is not far behind them. She bought her favourite paintings for the entire film unit of 'Love Aaj Kal'. Seems as if the Bollywood babes are practicing the art of sweetness.

Rimi Sen is quite happy these days, and the reason is obvious. Her latest release, the Pankaj Advani directed, SANKAT CITY, a film very close to her heart, is doing very well. Even in its second week the film is on a very steady run, with barely a fall of about 33 percent in week two as compared to the first one.
However, we decided to take Rimi on a different course altogether, and asked her about her relationship with the two Bachchans, because from the newer lot of actresses, she is amongst the fortunate few who have worked with both the Bachchans (BAGHBAAN and DHOOM). So we asked her about the difference between the two. Says the actress, ''Nothing much. They are very cultured, polished, humble and kind hearted, which shows that they come from a very good family background. Even today when I SMS them, they reply promptly, although a lot of time has passed since BAGHBAAN and even DHOOM.''
Probe her about Abhishek's 'prankster on the sets' reputation and she confirms it, ''As soon as Abhi arrives on the sets everyone gets into that light mode, as if realizing that its now time for some fun and mischief.''Well, thanks Rimi for confirming what we already knew, and lucky you!

Rani Mukherjee turns to God for success

Rani Mukherjee turns to God for successOne has often heard of Govinda’s obsession for puja’s and superstitions but now we hear that Rani Mukherjee has gone the same way. She is constantly hanging on to superstitions and rituals to keep her anxieties at bay if our sources' claims are to be believed.Buzz up!Rani Mukherjee had been going through bad times. Rani’s father was also not keeping well. However, things are looking upbeats since her next, the Yash Raj Films' production Dil Bole Hadippa opposite Shahid Kapoor is all set for release.
The actress, who was at the peak of her career a few years ago with releases like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black, Yash Raj's Veer Zaara and Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, suddenly seems to have come up against a wall. Her talent is not really in question, but her luck and choice of films is.
After Black, instead of going for a variety of roles which would showcase her talent, Rani Mukherjee chose to stick to Yash Raj banners alone - with films like Laaga Chunri Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Bhansali's Saawariya did nothing to improve matters. The actress has sought divine help to overcome all the obstacles.
Rani is believed to have undertaken a fast on every Thursday for 40 weeks, followed by a pooja at the Sai Baba temple in Shirdi. The actress has already been at it for the last three months. We just hope for her sake that it all works out fine for her. But things just may change and maybe Rani will again become the queen of hearts and the box office.

Kareena Kapoor is now International demand. .

Kareena Kapoor is now International demand. .
After her popular Bebo Mein Bebo act in Kambakkht Ishq Kareena of Bollywood has been involved in international stage shows that were once a fixture every season. She has won a lot more admirers across continents and has prompted foreign show promoters to plan a string of stage shows revolving around her.
They have gotten in touch with local show organisers and have planned a three-stage world tour on US, Europe and South African shores according to our sources. And they have even chalked out a deal for Bebo that they feel she can’t refuse. If things work out, this will be the first time an Indian actress is doing a series of shows around the world. The only glitch is that Kareena has no dates and is busy through the next year. But the event organisers are hopeful that she’d make some time for them to spread some cheer in the industry and her fans.

Bipasha's Hollywood dream comes to an end

Just few days back there were tabloid reports about Bipasha Basu’s first Hollywood project starring Titanic villain Billy Zane, going on floors. But now news has trickled in that the project is being scrapped. It was supposed to begin shooting on July 25th. It is learnt that producer Smita Thackeray had backed out with reasons being cited as personal and professional.This yet to be titled film was to be directed by David Silverman and was to feature Bipasha in Angelina Jolie’s Lara Croft avatar. It was supposed to be shot in Kodaikanal and had actor Rajvirr of Kaise Kahen (2007) fame playing Bipasha’s second love interest. The film was to have Bipasha doing some intense love making scenes with both Billy and Rajvirr.
Rumour mills suggest- the choice of Rajvirr as the male lead wasn’t appreciated but Smita Thackeray was adamant about him playing the role.
However now that Smita has backed out from the film, it only means that for now Bipasha’s dream of going international has come to a standstill, at least for now. Though for a long time both Bipasha and her boyfriend John Abraham have been trying to go international, they haven't succeeded.

When Aamir Khan got stumped

Aamir KhanAamir Khan was left stumped, pleasantly of course, while shooting for his film 3 Idiots in Delhi recently.
A source reveals, “It so happened that in the breaks between his shots he went on to chat with the shopkeepers of Delhi’s Connaught Place area, where he was shooting. He candidly asked them which films they were looking forward to watch. To his surprise, everyone one he spoke to named only one film– Love Aaj Kal. Aamir was left smiling. It is not known whether Aamir passed on this message to Saif, but it seems like Love Aaj Kal is a sure fire hit even before its release!”
Another interesting bit of information revealed about Aamir by our source is that, Aamir finds it difficult to read the complete censor certificate as to how many reels the film is and also, what category has it been certified. He has been trying for years now, but still hasn’t mastered the art. Well Aamir, welcome to the club!

Impatient Saif watches own film trial at 2 in the Night!

SaifOften a producer’s excitement at the first copy of his film coming out of the lab, is comparable to the experience of having a new born baby. The father may not exactly be present at the hospital, but he wastes no time in rushing to the hospital on hearing the news of his new born baby, to have a glimpse of it. Similarly, a producer may not be physically presented when his film’s first copy is being processed, but then, he rushes immediately to have a first dekko of his final print.
Bollywood’s latest actor turned producer Saif Ali Khan showed similar excitement however, he took his anxiety to an altogether different level. It so happens, that Saif and his Illuminati Films production partner Dinesh Vijan, after receiving the first final copy of the film, couldn’t resist watching it as soon they could. They immediately arranged a trial theater for the same and watched the film. Incidentally, it was 2 am in the morning when their show began.
So what was the final outcome after the show? “They were extremely overjoyed on watching it, as it fulfilled all their expectations.” our source reveals.
