March 30th 2010 Shahid and Priyanka could not make it as joint anchor for TV
Shahid Kapoor has maintained his ‘single and ready to mingle’ status post his breakup with Kareena Kapoor who, on the other hand, instantly fell into Saif Ali Khan’s arms. Meanwhile, Shahid had been linked up with his ‘Kaminey’ co-star Priyanka Chopra and rumors of the two seeing each other kept the gossip columns going red for a long time.
The ‘Kaminey’ jodi of Shahid and Priyanka had almost been finalized as the anchor for ‘Zara Nach Ke Dikha’, a forthcoming dance reality show on television, but unfortunately it did not work out because Priyanka went on to host the third season of ‘Fear Factor’ and Shahid was out of dates as he would be shooting abroad for his father’s film during those dates.
Well, there is always a next time and we still hope to see the jodi together once again!

March 30th 2010 Pregnancy does not hinder Kajol from heavy dancing
That Kajol has a doting daughter, Nyasa, is no news at all. That Kajol is pregnant for the second time is a stale one. What is the big one is the fact that the very talented actress did not shy away from some heavy dancing recently despite being pregnant.
Though it is generally not done for an expecting mother to go for intense body movements, such is Kajol’s dedication towards her commitments that she forgot to consider this point and danced with movements involving heavy gyrations.
Though this is commendable as a dedicated actress, our advise would be to be more careful next time because there are certain things, besides career, which need priority.

Priyanka Chopra received critical acclaims for her varied avatars in ‘Whats Your Rashee?”. Now, bong beauty Bipasha Basu is set to enthrall the audience with her nine different looks in forthcoming ‘Pankh’ produced by Sanjay Gupta’s White Feather Entertainment and directed by Sudipto Chattopadhyay.
The story of ‘Pankh’ revolves around the life of a child actor who grows up thinking he’s a girl. The film is based on a true story of child actor Ashish Channa, who played a pivotal role in Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Vastu Shashtra’.

May be in a few rural areas the film might be appealing. But, I have always maintained that this film touches upon a subject that is way different that you see in usual mainstream films.”

March 15th 2010 Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor stop ‘tweeting’
Upset and worried with the unrestricted flow of his forthcoming flick ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ being leaked out in ‘Twitter’, Sajid Nadiawala has banned his cast and crew from using the social networking site for the time being. As such, both the leading stars of the film, Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor, have been asked to stop tweeting.
Confirming the news, Sajid told a daily, “I actually took the decision to forbid my cast and crew from putting any information on websites after an incident that happened with Sajid Khan, my director of ‘Housefull’.
We were doing a photo-session with the film’s stars. We weren’t even finished and Sajid Khan had already put one of the pictures on the site. I was horrified. That’s when I decided it was time to make the confidentiality clause a legal issue in all my contracts.”
Sajid further added, “I remember when my father produced JP Dutta’s Ghulami, we’d stand outside Dharmendra’s van for hours waiting for him to emerge so we could see what he wore, how he styled his hair, what watch he had on, etc.
Today the stars volunteer all this information on the social networks even before the director takes his first shot. I think all of us need to make confidentiality compulsory for every film.”
So, no more tweeting for Piggy Chops and Ranbir for sometime from now on!!

March 12th 2010 Nana Patekar blasts off at Deepika Padukone
The short-tempered Nana Patekar comes in form once again and this time at the receiving end is the gorgeous and ever so beautiful Deepika Padukone.
It so happened that Nana Patekar is set to direct a film for Prakash Jha and Patekar approached Deepika for a casting. However, when Deepika tried to suggest some changes in the script, Nana lost his cool and gave her left and right. Nana went on to the extent of saying that he has immense experience in the film industry and how can a newcomer like Deepika suggest he make changes in the script. Deepika maintained a dignified silence but now she has decided not to do the film at all.
However, a close friend of Deepika denies any tiff between the two and said, “Yes, Nana had approached her with a script however Deepika refused to do it as she could not connect to it. Nana did not have a verbal argument with her and she is not aware if Nana is upset with her. She did not do the film as it was something that she just did not want to do. That’s it.”

March 12th 2010 SRK welcomes Akon, but forgets old friend Farah Khan
The ‘Smack That’ singer Akon is on a three-day visit to Mumbai to compose and record a song for SRK’s ‘Ra 1’ and Shahrukh is leaving no stones unturned to give the singer a very warm welcome. Akon got a traditional Indian welcome from Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor during a press meet in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Akon has also worked with A R Rahman on the album Freedom is Beautiful.
Asked whether he plans to work with other artists too, Akon replied, “I have worked extensively in America and after America, India will be my next big focus because I have got so much support here. Soon you will see me working with other groups too. I am planning a world tour and hopefully we will have a number of shows in India.”
For Ra One, I will be composing and singing a song. I will also appear in it. I want to give Shah Rukh different versions of the same song to choose from,” he added.
Again, SRK hosted a bash at JW Marriot for Akon. The party was more in news due to the absence of SRK’s one time very close friend Farah Khan. It was Gauri Khan who approved the guest list and insiders have it that the Morani brothers, who organised the party, were specifically told to leave out Farah’s and her husband Shirish Kunder’s names.
However, as soon as Khan became aware of this blunder, he told Moranis to invite Farah, but it was too late by then.
The party had glittering celeb list including Sherlyn Chopra, Riya Sen, Poonam Dhillon, Claudia Ciesla, Aarti Chhabria, Gauhar Khan, Anushka Manchanda, Sonal Chauhan, Rannvijay Singh, Madhu, Gaurav Chopra and Vidhu Dara Singh among others.

Preity Zinta has always been known for her bold and fearless attitude in fighting for the right cause. Recently, she has taken up yet another cause to ensure justice to Shandar Arohi who is one of the three children of legendary late Kamaal Amrohi.

March 2nd 2010 Deepika Padukone gets addicted to playing cards
It seems flying in an economy class is no more a big deal for the Bollywood celebrities. After Hema Malini who played it cool as she flew in an economy class, it was Deepika Padukone along with the team of ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ who traveled in the economy class this Monday from Jaipur to Mumbai. The private jet in which they were supposed to go could not head for Mumbai due to a cyclone threat. It was necessary for the team members to reach Mumbai as most of them had to leave for Dubai for the premiere on Tuesday morning. So, they had to book themselves into the economy class of a commercial airline.
The team had a gala time as they spent their night playing cards instead of taking rest even after a hectic day.
Deepika recalls, “We had blocked a whole row and instead of sleeping after a super-hectic day we started playing Mendicot. We forgot we were in a commercial flight. So we were yelling and screaming in excitement while the rest of the passengers were trying to sleep.”
Deepika is now hooked to the game and says, “I can’t stop playing Mendicot. Ritesh and Farhan introduced me and director Vijay Lalwani to the game. When we took off on Sunday from Mumbai on our private jet the first thing Farhan and Ritesh did was to teach us this game. I’ve become addicted.
I loved the whirlwind promotional tour. For two days I had more fun than I’ve had in my entire life. Throughout the trip we played Mendicot -not teen patti, please! We didn’t sleep at all for two days because some of the flight-duration was less than two hours. So all we did was play Mendicot on flight.”
