Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif is the most searched celebrity on the mobile phones and has beaten the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Aishwarya Rai. The research was conducted by mBit Infotech, a Value Added Service(VAS) provider.
Among the Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities, Katrina is on the number one spot followed by Angelina Jolie, Kareena, Shah Rukh, Salman, Bipasha, Aishwarya, Monica Bellucci and Aamir Khan.
Commenting on the results, Raghavendra Agarwala, CEO of mBit Infotech, said: "It is amazing to see that Katrina Kaif is ruling the charts with a major pie, presumably implying that Katrina’s popularity is mounting for both national and international audiences."
The research is based on the searches performed by over 120,000 users of mBit in the first quarter of 2010 (Jan to April) and it also found out that "sex" is still the most popular searched keyword followed by music where mostly international music icons like Akon, Linkin Park, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna and Michael Jackson top the list.
Katrina Kaif is hoarding blessings for her upcoming, Rajneeti.
The actress was, on Friday, spotted in Ajmer at the shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisty. The Boom star was reportedly offering prayers for her film's success. Dressed in a salwar and without her make-up, Katrina did seem a little apprehensive - after all, there's no dubbing involving!
We wish you all the very best for the movie Ms Kaif, and yes, we are prepared for your Rajneeti.

There’s not a stitch on her hot body. Sherlyn Chopra has become the first Bollywood babe to bare it all for the camera. The above photo was posted by Sherlyn herself on her Twitter account a few days back.
Sherlyn did a nude photoshoot just to test how hot she would look on Playboy magazine, which has reportedly offered Sherlyn to pose nude for an issue.
Since Sherlyn had never bared it all before, she asked a photographer friend of hers to shoot her in the nude.
“My best friend shot this pic last week. Itz a raw file.I personally feel it needs no air-brushing,” Sherlyn wrote under on twitter.
Sherlyn has been getting compliments and criticism from her followers for her nude pic on the site.
Bipasha Basu lost her role in Raavan as Mandodari (Raavan’s wife in the Ramayan) because the starcast is already top heavy.
Check this out: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Sita), South superstar Vikram (Ram), Abhishek Bachchan (Raavan); National Award winner Priya Mani (Shoorpankha), Govinda (Hanuman) etc.
TOI was the first to report that Bips was actually ready with costume and almost getting into her car to drive to Malshej, when she got unceremoniously dumped because it took the creative team that long to decide whether she should drive to the location or not. However, there are websites and papers still writing about Bips being dropped because certain members of the cast were threatened by her dominating screen presence. Now that isn’t true. Honestly, wish people would just let some matters ride.
Ash and Bips shared great vibes during Dhoom-2 and they are quite civil with each other. Bips is doing Dum Maro Dum that has Abhishek in the lead and though Bips is cast with Rana Dagubatti, she and AB Junior get along famously. So who is arriving at all these theories one wonders?
Bollywood stunner Katrina Kaif has emerged the most searched celebrity on the mobile phones in a research conducted by mBit Infotech, a Value Added Service (VAS) provider.
In the survey, Katrina topped over Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie and Bollywood heartthrob Shahrukh Khan.
Katrina took the number one spot followed by Angelina Jolie, Kareena Kapoor, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Bipasha Basu, Aishwarya Rai, Monica Bellucci and Aamir Khan.
Raghavendra Agarwal, CEO of mBit Infotech, said the research results are indicative of Katrina’s worldwide popularity.
“It is amazing to see that Katrina Kaif is ruling the charts with a major pie, presumably implying that Katrina’s popularity is mounting for both national and international audiences,” Raghavendra is quoted as telling a news agency.
Papa Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) but his son and daughter-in-law, who have been regular faces at IIFA since it began ten years ago, might skip the event this year because of their professional commitments.
Yes, there’s a strong chance that Ash would give the upcoming IIFA weekend from June 3 to 5 in Sri Lankan capital Colombo a miss because she’s flying to Paris to promote a brand she endorses.
“She is going for a Longines (international watch brand) commitment to Paris where she will be attending the French open,” her spokesperson is quoted to have said.
In the last few weeks Ash has been trotting the globe, with her visits to cities like Cannes and London. Now, she’s off to Paris.
Not just Ash, even Abhishek will be busy shooting director Abhinay Deo’s action thriller film Game in Istanbul.
Mallika Sherawat has had a lot of Kodak moments with Hollywood celebs ever since she shifted base to Los Angeles. But her bid to get photographed with celebs at a charity event called ‘Cinema Against AIDS 2010’ at the just concluded Cannes Film Festival met with a lot of cold shoulders.
At the event organised by amfAR a few days back a lot of renowned celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Mick Jagger, Marc Anthony, Gerard Butler and designer Roberto Cavalli, among others, were present.
Mallika wore a Dolce & Gabbana outfit and was dressed up to be clicked with all the famous people of the world. But guess what? Reports say she was cold-shouldered by many. Only Roberto Cavalli, whom she already knew, obliged with a courtesy kiss and a compliment.
The most painful snub apparently came from socialite Paris Hilton. It’s being reported that when Mallika went to Paris Hilton to exchange pleasantries, the hotel heiress gave no response but moved on to greet other guests. Mallika’s further attempts to approach and befriend Paris bore no fruits - or photographs - since the blonde socialite just kept ignoring her.
Single! Ready to mingle or not? Are they still seeing each other? The questions plague us and it is hard to unravel the secret of Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor’s relationship status.
On one side, PC and Shasha don’t tweet to each other; they stopped following each other on Twitter long time back and haven’t resumed their tweeting relation since then. On the other, they continue to make sweet amorous gestures towards each other.
Now, reports suggest that Priyanka has sent a bouquet of flowers to congratulate Shahid for the success of his film Badmaash Company. Though the actress is in Coorg shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s film Saat Khoon Maaf, she made sure that Shahid gets the bunch of flowers as a token of appreciation for delivering a hit, which came after a series of flops.
Heartbreak for all the Hrithik Roshan fans in Karnataka as his latest movie Kites has been withdrawn from theatres after a call of boycott by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC).
Reason? KFCC accuses producer Rakesh Roshan of flouting the norms of the release of non-Kannada films in the state.
According to the norm, ‘Kites’ was given a special permission to release on 24 theatres, but exhibitor Big Cinemas planned to release it on 46 theatres. Normally, non-Kannada films are allowed release only on 21 theatres.
A meeting was called on Thursday to find a solution, but producer Rakesh Roshan gave it a miss.
KFCC President Basant Kumar Patil is quoted as saying: “There was a meeting but Rakesh Roshan did not turn up. But we are the supreme body and they can't violate the norms.”
In the past, Hindi films like 3 Idiots and My Name Is Khan have released in Karnataka in less than 24 theatres.
It doesn’t get bigger than this for IIFA 2010. None other than the badshaah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan will be performing at the awards night.
He gave IIFA a miss for consecutive five years apparently because of some differences with IIFA brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan. But that is past for SRK now. Now he is not only performing on stage but will also be seen in an IIFA charity match between Bollywood stars and Sri Lankan cricketers.
The organizing company Wizcraft proudly announces this to the press, “This year Shahrukh Khan will be performing at IIFA.”
Other than SRK, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh and Vivek Oberoi will be dancing at the award function on the final day of the 3-day gala event.
IIFA is from June 3-5 in Colombo.
Her debut movie was Sssshhhh with Dino Morea at her opposite. The movie did not do big at the box office. The actress also did a movie called Neel and Nikki with Uday Chopra. This movie was also not very good according to the box office reports.

Karan Kapoor and Kunal Kapoor are the two brothers of Sanjana.It’s a rare sight to see a top Bollywood actress hailing a taxi by the side of a road. Katrina Kaif did just that on Monday morning.
She was supposed to fly to Bangalore that day for a promotional event of her upcoming movie Raajneeti. The flight was on time, but her driver did not show up. Turned out he was stuck in a traffic jam.
Not willing to miss the flight, Katrina took matters into her own hand. She took her luggage along and hailed a cab to the airport. Even as the taxi whizzed past the routine morning traffic, the cabbie stole a glance in the rear view mirror only to find Katrina Kaif as his passenger.
Katrina arrived in time to join Ranbir Kapoor and director Prakash Jha at the airport, but the duo wasn’t very pleased with Katrina’s blasé attitude towards her security.
A lot of tongues have wagged and a lot of newsprint has been consumed by the rumours linking Hrithik Roshan to his Kites co-star Barbara Mori. But both of them remain unperturbed by the gossip.
If Barbara has said that she’s used to being linked with her co-stars back in her home country Mexico as well, Hrithik has clarified that his wife Sussanne knows the truth and that is all he cares. In fact, Hrithik doesn’t mince words in praising Barbara to heights.
In a latest interview, he goes on to say that he was bowled over by Barbara’s “vulnerability and dignity” when he saw her first film.
“...I was completely bowled over. She has a lot of sex appeal as well. And that is a lethal combination!” Hrithik is quoted to have said.

On Saturday night after KKR crushed the Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Garden, the mood was set for a great celebration which began with a fashion show where the cricketers and the guests seated on the front rows were warming up to the disco night while the models walked up and down the ramp.
A source confirms that Chris Gayle took an instant liking to Sherlyn when he met her at the bar. Soon Manoj Tiwari, Murali Kartik and Ishant were seen giggling and laughing at Sherlyn's jokes.
The gang then hit the dance floor. The source adds, 'Sherlyn and Chris seemed to have a great time. So much so that they took dirty dancing to a whole new level. Both were strutting their stuff and showing off their hot, rauncy moves not knowing that the rest of the crowd around them stood still.
The couple later exited the dance floor to get away for some quiet time'.
A common friend of the two adds, 'After leaving the dance floor, Chris had asked Sherlyn to go out on a date with him. And the quick thinker Sherlyn who didn't want to give a nod easily told him that if KKR managed to beat the mighty Mumbai Indians on Monday, she would then accept the date proposal.
Little did she know that the Knight Riders would actually beat the reigning team'. Sherlyn's latest tweet @SherlynChopra confirms the story. It reads, "Lost a bet. Got to go on a date. M nervous!!"
With the promos of Hrithik-Barbara starrer ‘Kites’ finally out, one finds a clear difference between the Indian and the English version (read US) of the film.
While the Indian version shows a modest flirting scene between the lead pair, the English version airs a topless Barbara, sharing a passionate lip lock with Hrithik Roshan.
It is believed that the Hindi version is made while keeping in mind the local sensibilities while the English version of ‘Kites’, which is edited by Bret Ratner is only ninety minutes longer in comparison to the one-thirty minutes long original version of ‘Kites’, releasing worldwide on 21st May.
Talking to a news daily about the US version and Bret Ratner, a close Hollywood trade analyst said, "Ratner`s reputation couldn`t be anything further from the Bollywood norm. He`s known for movies full of fast cars, fast women, and big explosions. Subtlety isn`t his thing. ‘Kites’ hits theatres thanks to Brett Ratner."
However, when contacted Rakesh Roshan, the ‘Kites’ director blankly denied any such reports and firmly said, "The promos for both the international and Indian audiences are same and the kiss is in both. As far as the topless scene (of Barbara Mori) is concerned, it`s not true. I don`t make such films. For the Hollywood version, they wanted only 90 minutes so we removed all the five songs that are there in the Indian version of ‘Kites.’ "
Katrina Kaif is known for her tender, bubble and petite roles in all the movies she has done uptil now. But when her forthcoming venture with Zoya Akhtar hits the screens, we will see the beauty indulge into hot, sexy lass performing some heavy duty stunts in the film that will also involve some dirt biking. Reports have it that the actress is already taking lessons. Though, Katrina is excited about her new act, but at the same time she agrees that it is not going to be easy performing the stunts with the bike.
The movie will supposedly be Zoya’s first big budget film and will star Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Farhan Akhtar besides Kaif.
Confirming the same, director Farhan Akhtar who is also a part of the film, on Facebook said “The film is not titled ‘Running with the Bulls’. It is still untitled but we will be announcing a title soon. And yes the cast is Hrithik (Roshan), Katrina (Kaif), Abhay (Deol) and myself. The latest addition to it is Kalki Koechlin (Dev D). We start filming in Spain this May through to August. ”
This yet to be titled Hrithik – Katrina film is expected to release in the first half of 2011.
He is currently working for a producer-director who has given mega hits like Singh Is Kinng and Namastey London. But Bollywood’s stylish hunk John Abraham is reportedly not willing to comply with what Vipul Amrutlal Shah wants him to do for his film.
The actor, who is playing a cop in the movie, first declined to sport a moustache for the role and is now reportedly adamant to not wear the khakhi police uniform. As sources tell a tabloid, John has even asked the director to change his character from a cop to a narcotics officer.
The movie has Asin opposite John for the first time. Apparently, John doesn’t find his role stylish enough for the big screen. Wearing a uniform for most part of the film can make his look boring. He wants to go for smart formals like jackets for his role which he can only wear when his role changes to a narcotics officer.
According to source, The Kaif family especially the girls’ mother, Susana Mary Turcotte has strongly denied that.
Deepkia Padukone's stock in Bollywood has steadily risen since her spectacular debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om.
The doe-eyed beauty of India, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will soon be seen on the small screen.
Katrina Kaif is all excited and ready for her very different avatar in her next flick Rajneeti. She will also be seen in another movie that will prove to be very challenging to her.
In a typical Baywatch style, Deepika Padukone saves her hero Akshay Kumar in the film Housefull, but it wasn’t as easy a shot as it seems.
THE STRONG BUZZ in Bollywood is that Katrina Kaif has had enough of her tumultuous relationship with Salman and called off the relationship for good.The saga of Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan might have been a thing of the past but the former is still scared to cross paths with Sallu. Believe it or not but in a recent incident, Vivek Oberoi locked himself in his vanity van for as long as 75 minutes just to avoid coming face to face with Salman Khan.
And the actor only emerged from his hiding place once Salman left the shooting venue.
According to sources, Vivek had just finished performing for a show and retreated to his van to change before leaving. Salman also showed up at the venue and was seen chatting with his friends just a few metres away before going on stage for the grand finale.
On spotting Salman, Vivek’s pals rushed to his van to tell him about the actor’s presence. And that’s when Vivek decided to lock himself up in his van. Even though he was in a hurry to go partying with his friends but for over an hour the actor was put in his van just so that he doesn’t cross Salman’s way.
Confirming the news, a source said, “Only when Salman left to perform did Vivek emerge from his van. Obviously the same thoughtful aides played watchdog and gave him the green signal when the road was clear.”
Well, looks like Vivek knows how to keep a low profile…or is it a case of no profile.
