Filmmaker Karan Johar launched the teaser of his upcoming movie Agneepath today, a remake of the 1990 Amitabh Bachchan starrer film of the same name.

The film which is directed by newcomer Karan Malhotra stars Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.

"On my way to the teaser launch Of Agneepath! Will put it up soon," Johar earlier tweeted.

The movie will hit the theatres on January 13.








Vidya BalanThe first trailer of the Vidya Balan starrer The Dirty Picture, based on the life of southern sire Silk Smitha, was unveiled today.

The first look of the film, released last week, showcased Vidya in a whole new suggestive avatar - that of Silk Smitha.

From the director of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Milan Luthria, The Dirty Picture is based on the tumultuous life of the late screen vamp ,Silk Smitha.

The film, also starring Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor, is reportedly a hard, realistic look at the life of one of Indian cinema's best-known item dancers.

Here's a look at the trailer:


Vidya Balan has shocked a lot of fans with her bold display of female sexuality in a skimpy blouse with a low neckline in the first look of her movie The Dirty Picture.

Vidya clearly is a woman of amusing contradictions. See her at any public event and she makes for a picture of this prim, proper, cultured and typical bhartiya nari. But this image calls for a total overhaul when you see her stripping off her sari in a raunchy teaser from The Dirty Picture, in which she plays the role of the south sex bomb Silk Smitha.

“I've always loved my curves and curves love Silk,” Vidya Balan said when the film’s first look came out.

Shocking though Vidya’s unabashed display of her curves may be, if you look at her filmography you will realize that Vidya has never shied away from bold acts on screen, be it smooching her co-stars, mouthing vulgar expletives, or even going topless for a calendar.

Don’t believe us? Check out Vidya’s many bold acts ahead.



B-town lovely Celina Jaitley is no longer single. The actress married Peter Haag last month in Austria.

Both Celina and Haag were dating each other for the last one and a half years. A family tragedy forced the couple to hold the announcement of their life's most favorite moment. Celina and Haag officially became husband and wife at a quiet ceremony in an ancient monastery in Australia.

Tweets the newlywed Celina, "With great pleasure I would like to announce my wedding with @ peterhaag on the 23rd of last month at a thousand year old monastery in Austria. We seek your blessings and good wishes, and apologize for the delayed announcement due to a family tragedy. Here is a picture of the most cherished moment of our lives. The picture features myself and my beloved husband, flanked by my dearest father in law to my left, and my brother in law to Peter's right."

Our best wishes for the lovely couple.

The first look for Vidya Balan's highly anticipated movie, The Dirty Picture, is out!

The film, based on the life of southern siren Silk Smitha, features Vidya as the late star. The Dirty Picture also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor.

Directed by Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai helmer Milan Luthria, The Dirty Picture is apparently loaded with sensuous scenes and songs; Silk Smitha, after all, was instrumental in bringing the indigenous adult entertainment industry to the fore.











Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her American footballer husband Tom Brady have been named as the world's wealthiest celebrity couple.

Contactmusic.com reports that the couple have jointly earned $75 million in 2010, according to the list compiled by Forbes Magazine.

Beyonce and Jay Z stood second in the list with a total earning of $70 million.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie earned $49 million between them, David and Victoria Beckham netted $44 million, and Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart rounded up the top five with earnings of $36 million.


Cricket legend Shane Warne has reportedly bowled over actress Elizabeth Hurley by asking her to marry him before the end of this year.

Warne, 41, whose undercover love with Hurley came to light in December when they were caught kissing outside a London hotel, went down on one knee to propose to the British beauty on a yacht in Spain.

"He's definitely the one. I didn't know I'd ever feel this way about anyone," Hurley said.

A source, who was present on board, said, "It was just a beautiful moment when he proposed. Really romantic, and she said yes. There was no hesitation.

"The boat was moored in Marbella and the Packers were on board along with about 15 people, just close friends, no-one famous. Shane and Liz flew in for a few days and looked so in love during their time," the source added.

Anne Hathaway has admitted it was easier for her to shoot the nude scenes than mastering British accent for her role in One Day.

The 28-year old plays a Yorkshire girl Emma in the movie and insists she was more comfortable stripping off for a dipping scene with her co-star Jim Sturgess than speaking in her character's regional dialect, reports contactmusic.com.

"I was more nervous about the accent than nudity. I mean, you can do sit-ups as prep for the nudity. But there aren't a lot of vocal sit-ups that you can do. Maybe it's because I have more experience in my life being naked than pretending to be British," she said.

"So I got more comfortable quickly with the nudity than I did with the accent," she added.

Hollywood star Megan Fox is removing her tattoo of screen siren Marilyn Monroe in a bid to avoid attracting negative energy.

The 25-year-old actress began laser treatment on her forearm inking earlier this year and said that she wanted to get rid of the tattoo because she thinks the late screen icon is a negative character, reported Daily Mail.

"I'm removing it. It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life," said Fox.

Talking about the meaning behind her Monroe tattoo, Fox had previously said, "I really admire Marilyn Monroe, but I would never try to emulate her. I got the tattoo as a warning. It warns me not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down."

It's not the only thing Fox has grown to regret - she also removed her navel piercing when she was 20.

"I did it when I was 16 years old because I was a fan of Britney Spears. The only time I tried to imitate someone else. But then I thought it was tacky and so I removed it when I turned 20," she said.

The 'Transformers' actress has around nine tattoos and her other inkings include a quote on her shoulder reading 'We will all laugh at gilded butterflies' and a tribal mark on her left wrist.

She also has a tribute to her 'Passion Play' co-star Mickey Rourke, 57.

"Mickey is such a beautiful, wonderful human being. He's so genuine and so sweet and so talented. I just love him to death. I actually got a tattoo that is sort of in honour of him. It's on my ribs," said Fox.

Jennifer Aniston splashed out $12,000 to buy a leather jacket once owned by James Dean for beau Justin Theroux.

Aniston gifted the black vintage garment to Theroux for his 40th birthday recently, ShowBizSpy reported.

Dean wore the jacket in his most famous movie Rebel Without a Cause where he portrayed the role of the troubled Los Angeles teenager Jim Stark.

A 50s icon, Dean died when he was just 24 in a car accident. The other two roles that cemented his enduring stardom are East of Eden and Giant.

Aniston, 42, and Theroux have been dating since May - but things have taken a serious turn in the relationship.

The couple was spotted enjoying a Hawaii break together and accompanied one another to their respective events over recent months.

The star will be introduced as the new main character, Walden Schmidt, for the forthcoming ninth series of the show-replacing Charlie Sheen, who was fired earlier this year-and he has given away a few details as to what his entrance will be like.

During an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, he said: "I'm very heartbroken over this break-up that's taken place--I may, in some way, shape, or form, be trying to kill myself."

Ashton's character will bear little resemblance to Charlie's hard partying Charlie Harper, whose funeral will take place in the first episode of the new series.

Viewers will see Walter move into Charlie's old house with the former character's brother, played by Jon Cryer, and his nephew, portrayed by Angus T. Jones.

Ashton added: "I show up when Jon Cryer's character needs me the most."

When Ashton was asked by David why he was sporting a shaggy beard, he replied: "Believe it or not they requested this."

The 33-year-old star also praised the departing Charlie, calling him a "lingual genius", and admitted he was hesitant to replace him because he "didn't want to be a troll"-the preferred term the actor uses for people who are against him.

Ashton added: "But I think it's going to go through the roof, I really do. I've been laughing really hard."

Two and a Half Men returns to US screens on September 19.

After Raaz and Raaz 2, Vikram Bhatt is looking forward to the release of the third part of the horror film - it comes out July 6 next year.

"The filming of Raaz 3 begins on 15th January... releases on July 6th 2012!" Bhatt posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The movie will star Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez along with Bipasha Basu, who will make a comeback in the Bhatt camp after reportedly turning down a lead role in Murder 2.

"So it official now.. the cast of Raaz 3 - Emraan, Jacqueline and ... Bipasha Basu," Bhatt posted.

The filmmaker also declared the name of the character which the cast will play on-screen.

"Shanaya it is for Bipasha's name in Raaz 3!! Jacqueline's name is Sanjana. The Hero of Raaz 3 is Emraan Hashmi and the name of his character is Aditya, much like Raaz..." Bhatt posted.

The film will also see Bhatt returning to Vishesh Films after 2003 movie Footpath.

It seems actress Bipasha Basu has taken the practical approach after her break up with John Abraham. She says she has moved on and doesn't miss him anymore.

"Nobody plans a break up or any negative thing in your life, when it happens you deal with it, life is such that it teaches you, it heals you and you move on. I don't miss John," Bipasha said on Zoom's "Superstar Weekends" show.

The couple broke up after dating for eight years. They first came together in Mahesh Bhatt's Jism and later did films like Madhoshi and Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal.

Actors Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif are the latest to join the celebrity bandwagon appearing on the fifth season of game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.

"Have just finished with two episodes of KBC, the last with Imran and Katrina, who dropped by to play the game, talk about their upcoming film Mere Brother ki Dulhan and add that star value for KBC," Amitabh posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.

The film is slated for Sep 9 release. Actors Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor will also be seen promoting their film Mausam in Kaun Banega Crorepati. Previously Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone had appeared on the show to promote Aarakshan.


Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh admits he and Deepika are more than friends but is adamant it doesn't mean they are dating.

"Deepika and I are definitely more than friends but that doesn't mean that we need to get linked up. Deepika is one of the finest co stars I've worked with and she's someone whom I would want to work with again and again," Neil said on Zoom's Superstar Weekends.

The actor also denied he was ever involved with Asin Thottumkal.

"Asin and I are just friends, we were never a couple," he added.


The Hair singer has beat Oprah Winfrey to a higher position on the annual World's 100 Most Powerful Women list compiled by the business and finance analysts, but could only reach number 11 in the total list.

Oprah Winfrey Network owner and former chat show host Oprah is placed at number 14, dropping from third place in 2010.

No showbiz stars made the top ten of the list, which is comprised of politicians and businesswomen including German Chancellor Angela Merkel at number one and other entrants US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chief Operating officer of Facebook Sheryl Sandberg and Christine Lagarde, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Gaga topped a celebrity-only version of the list earlier this year, with Forbes giving the reason as "not just because of her $90 million in earnings, but also because of her 32 million Facebook fans and 10 million twitter followers".

Other notable figures on the list include Britain's Queen Elizabeth II at number 49, supermodel and environmentalist Giselle Bundchen, who is placed at number 60, and Editor-in-Chief of Vogue magazine Anna Wintour, at number 69.

Donald Trump declined an invite to the wedding of the year, but you can hardly blame him, as his Trump National Golf Club tournament was pre-scheduled for 20th August. E! News reported that Donald Trump and his wife Melania ditched Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' wedding in favour of attending the gold tournament in Bedminster, New Jersey.

All was not lost though, as the celebrity head count was predictably high. According to the Daily Mail, Ellen Degeneres was worried that she hadn't scored an invite, and tweeted "'No invitation to @KimKardashian's wedding yet. #WorstThingInTheWorld" but Kardashian responded: "Of course u are invited!!!! COME!".

According to the Daily Mail, other stars in attendance were Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Serena Williams, Kelly Osbourne and Ryan Seacrest. Others rumoured stars were Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum and Kanye West.

E! Online will show a two part wedding special Kim's Fairytale Wedding in October, and the ceremony will reportedly earn her millions. As well as the special, Abc news have reported that it is thought that they have signed a magazine exclusive with People. Kim is also selling a limited addition version of her perfume Love, to commemorate the event.


Kim Kardashian has married Kris Humphries in a ceremony held in Montecito, California, attended by 440 guests.

The reality TV star tied the knot with the basketball player in a ceremony in Montecito, California, yesterday evening (20.08.11), witnessed by 440 family and friends.

Kim, 30, wore an ivory Vera Wang gown and was given away by her stepfather, Bruce Jenner. She walked down the aisle carrying a bouquet of white roses with her hair up and her veil off her face.

The wedding ceremony reportedly lasted half an hour and saw Kim and Kris, dressed in an Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo with a white jacket and tie, exchange wedding rings made by Lorraine Schwartz, the same designer behind Kim's engagement ring.

During the traditional Christian service, officiated by pastor Joel Johnson, tributes were paid to Kris' late grandmother and grandfather, as well as to Kim's late father, lawyer Robert Kardashian.

Kim told the crowd: "I so wish my dad could be here today to walk me down the aisle. But I know in a way he is here, and I feel his loving presence all around me. I love and miss you, dad."

The 30-year-old bride's sisters Khloe and Kourtney were maids of honour, and Kourtney's son Mason acted as ring bearer. Her mother, Kris Jenner, had earlier in the day helped Kim prepare for the wedding and also wore a white Vera Wang dress to the ceremony.

She also posted a tribute to her daughter on her website, which said: "Kimberly, I still remember you as a little girl playing dress up in my closet like it was yesterday! I can't believe the time has flown by so fast.

"You will always be my little princess angel, and you are going to make the most amazing wife. You are truly blessed. I love you with all my heart, Mommy xo (sic)."

Stars who attended the wedding included Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Demi Lovato, Ryan Seacrest and Mel B.

After the ceremony the party moved to a different tent on the grounds of the private estate and both the bride and groom changed into different outfits.

Singer Robin Thicke introduced the couple as "Mr. and Mrs. Humphries," before leading them into the first dance, with a rendition of his track 'Angels', which segued into Al Green's soul classic 'Let's' Stay Together'.

Selena Gomez has finally lost patience with Justin Bieber. Selena Gomez has long had reservations about the company that Bieber keeps, disapproving of his friends Sean Kingston and Chris Brown. The Metro reported that a friend of Bieber's told the Daily Star Sunday: "The big headline-grabbing romance is over.

All Selena wants to be now is friends.She doesn't feel Justin is quite mature enough yet to be in a long-term, stable relationship. She's in the market for someone a little older and more worldly-wise."

Apparently Gomez has been seen flirting with Shia Lebeouf, who at 25 fits her age criteria. It is also rumoured that her split from Bieber was speeded up because she had found out he was texting ex-girlfriend JASMINE VILLEGAS. In other news, Gomez has been confirmed as the host for the MTV Video Music Awards pre-show, and will perform at the event scheduled for 28th August.

She said in a statement: "I am very excited to be a part of the 2011 VMAs! After all of my years watching the VMAs, the pre-show has always been one of my favorite parts. It is a true honor to be hosting from the black carpet this year."

Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D has been given a big boost as her reality TV show ends - she's back with Sandra Bullock's ex-husband Jesse James.

Von D's LA Ink show was cancelled on Thursday (18Aug11) after she reportedly told producers and network executives she no longer wanted to appear on the show.

Hours after the news broke, James told People.com he and his ex are engaged again after splitting last month (Jul11).

He said, "Sometimes you are only given one chance in life... It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her."

Von D stormed off the set of U.S. breakfast show Good Day LA and cancelled a series of promotional appearances after splitting from TV mechanic James.

She looks hot even with that sweet smile. Amisha Patel was waiting for this day. The actress is happy that with Sanjay Dutt starrer Chatur Singh Two Star, she would be seen on the big screen again after Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic which released way back in 2008.

If Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic had her playing a seductive siren, Chatur Singh Two Star is no different. Amisha is again set to scorch the big screen with her saucy look and a sensuous number in the film. But, isn't she worried about the delay in release of the film, which was supposed to hit the theatres two years back?

Amisha is confident that the film will do well at theatres. In it she is paired opposite Sanjay Dutt for the first time. The actress says, “No, not at all as its look as well as the music too are very contemporary. Moreover, the story is such that it would have worked 10 years ago or even 10 years down the line. No, I am not worried or depressed at all. On the contrary, I am really excited about the film's release now since it has shaped up so fantastic.”

The actress has also done a sexy number wearing a transparent red sari. She looks shapely and we envy that hourglass body as the actress says she hardly diets.

Have a look at Amisha Patel’s saucy look from Chatur Singh Two Star. You’ll be convinced that she’s still a hot property.


Aishwarya Rai doesn’t follow the herd. Though she is a global face, she is quite unlike the other beauties who flaunted their baby bump when they were pregnant. Aishwarya has apparently said no to show her baby bump for the coverpage of a magazine.

Aishwarya Rai recently returned to Mumbai after shooting for a soap commercial and spending some time with husband Abhishek Bachchan in London. As sources say, the actress is also trying to stay away from the country to avoid the spotlight. Too much attention is not good.

“She doesn’t want to be in the limelight when she’s pregnant. In any case, too much attention at this time is considered inauspicious. She has decided to stay away (from spotlight) as much as she can, so she stayed away from Mumbai for so long,” tells a source to a daily.

And even lucrative offers from international magazines to reveal her baby bump have failed to lure Aishwarya. She is a private person.

But why did she shoot for a commercial that too when she is any months into her pregnancy? Well, it was a prior work commitment and the actress just fulfilled it. Moreover, the company didn’t have any problem with a pregnant Ash; rather, they wanted her to do the advertisement.

Justin Timberlake is all praise for his ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz for playing the character of a foul-mouthed teacher effortlessly in Bad Teacher.

The two are paired together in this movie and Diaz plays a teacher who hurls abuses, smokes marijuana and drinks alcohol and eventually tries to win over Timberlake, who plays a rich guy.

"I think funny women have been around forever -- Carol Burnett, Madeline Kahn. I mean, there have always been genius female actors in comedy. The coolest thing about this movie is that a male could have played this lead role. It's a great thing to see a female can do it and do it as well as Cameron does it," the 30-year-old said.

While Bad Teacher was released in the US, Canada and Britain in June, the film will be releasing in India on Friday and the singer-turned-actor sees no problem if the censor board gives Adult rating to the film.

"One can also argue that if you take away the Adult rating, it's going to take all the fun out of being a teenager and sneaking in. So let's be honest, they're going to do it," he said.

Actress Salma Hayek says she is not in favour of plastic surgery and one should embrace the aging process naturally.

"I believe that every woman is entitled to fight to preserve her youth," Hayek told Allure.

But just not through plastic surgery.

"It's like the uniform of a generation, And it's not necessarily beautiful. It's not wrinkled-looking, but it's not beautiful," she said.

People.com reports that the actress believes that as women get older, they can get sexier.

"As a woman, you should be more at ease with your sexuality when you are in your 40s. You are more self-assured about that part. And that's the way it should be," she said.

"If you are a girl who cannot walk in heels, it doesn't matter how beautiful you are. If you look like a chicken that's been spiked in the feet, it's not going to be sexy," she said.

Justin Theroux will never marry Jennifer Aniston, says his close friend and music composer Craig Warden.

The 40-year-old actor began dating the Horrible Bosses actress earlier this year and while there have been reports that the smitten couple are set to tie the knot, Warden claims it won't happen, reported TMZ online.

Warden said that Theroux--who was with girlfriend Heidi Bivens for 14 years before leaving her for Aniston--is not the marrying kind as he doesn't like to be tied down.

"Justin will never marry her. He's not the marrying type - as you can see from the 14-year relationship he was in that didn't end in marriage. He is not the kind of guy to be owned," said Warden who composed the music for the film Wanderlust, where the couple first met.

He said that they are are complete opposites of each other and can't see them lasting.

"Jen is the complete opposite of Justin. She's all about Malibu and shopping and trying to stay young while Justin is about being an artist. The last place Jen would want to go in New York would be a dive bar," he said.

The composer also claims Theroux was "very taken" when he met and fell in love with the former Friends star.

"He totally lied to Heidi and broke her heart," he added.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is reportedly dating Rosanne Coker, a 22-year-old who worked as a production assistant on several of his films.

Coker first met Radcliffe, 22, while working on Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince in 2007, reported Daily Mail online.

They have worked on four films together, including the last three Harry Potter projects and The Woman In Black. The pair began dating a year ago and Coker splits her time between her family's 400,000 pounds home in Surrey and Radcliffe's luxury apartment in New York.

With a fortune estimated at 48 million pounds, Radcliffe has been regarded as one of Britain's most eligible bachelors. Coker's father Malcolm runs his own painting and decorating business, while her mother Gillian is believed to design birthday cards.

"I don't want to say too much really as they would really prefer to keep things quiet. But Rosanne has worked on the last three Harry Potter films, so she and Daniel have known each other quite a long time. But they have been going out for just over a year now. I have met Daniel and he is a lovely guy. I'm just really happy for Rosanne and as long as she is happy that is all that matters to me," Malcolm said.

Radcliffe has only gone public with one girlfriend since starring in the first Harry Potter film in 2001. In 2007, it emerged that he was dating Irish actress Laura O'Toole, now 26, after meeting during the West End stage play Equus, but the couple split in early 2008.

Two time Academy-Award-winning actor Sean Penn will be presented with a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival on September 28.

The 51-year-old will be given the Golden Icon Award, which is the festival's highest honour, for his remarkable film career, said the Hollywood Reporter.

The festival will present a retrospective of Penn's work and also screen his directorial effort Into the Wild.

"Sean Penn is a man whose remarkable film career is matched only by his extraordinary and ongoing humanitarian pursuits that have helped improve so many lives. On screen, and off, Sean has a legendary presence and is revered around the world.

"He is one of the finest actors of our generation and defines the term icon. We are both honoured and excited to have him attend the Zurich Film Festival and accept the Golden Icon Award," said ZFF director Karl Spoerri.

Penn is currently appearing on screen in Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life with Brad Pitt and will also be seen in the upcoming This Must Be the Place.

Troubled actor Charlie Sheen is a changed man now and is ready to focus on his new projects, says his brother, Emilio Estevez.

The 45-year-old, who was fired from hit TV sitcom Two And A Half Men after his media rants against the bosses, has reportedly sobered up in life, reported Femalefirst.

"He is a different guy. He's a completely different guy. He's got his voice back. And I think he's got his focus," said Estevez.

He also said that Sheen is very excited about his new sitcom Anger Management, which is set to be loosely based on the 2003 movie of the same name.

"He's on a new show and he's gonna be roasted by Comedy Central which I think is going to be hysterical. I think that he's really got it together. And he's very excited about the crew of the show he's putting together," he added.

Carrie Bradshaw's fans need not be disappointed as a third Sex and the City movie is inching towards reality, says lead star Sarah Jessica Parker.

The 46-year-old actress who played the popular character in the successful TV series and two movies, says they have found a story for the third movie, the Hollywood Reporter said.

"There is. I know what the story is. It's a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is, what's the right time to tell it?" Parker said.

The second movie, where the action shifts to Abu Dhabi, was critically panned for its insensitive portrayal of the Muslim world with makers indicating that they might not take the story forward.

Parker's comments seem to lend credence to the theory that a third film would not be a prequel with younger starcast.

"My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33, and I took her to 43. I didn't even want to know who Carrie Bradshaw's parents were because I thought she only existed in Manhattan. So for me, the idea of going backwards and making her less evolved ... is something that I don't imagine doing," show runner Michael Patrick King had said.

Last month, rumours surfaced that the project will feature young stars such as Elizabeth Olsen, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Selena Gomez as Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte respectively. Also the film will be based upon The Carrie Diaries and Summer and the City.

Actress Anne Hathaway, who plays Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, considered living with a cat to prepare for the role.

The 28-year-old convinced an assistant director that living alongside a cat would help her to observe the animal's movements and actions.

"I actually had this moment when I convinced one of the assistant directors on the London portion of the film to get a cat with me, the idea being that we were going to get a kitten from a rescue shelter, and he was going to live with me, and I was going to observe it, and when I left London I was going to give it to her," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Hathway as saying.

However, living alongside a kitten wouldn't have worked out well for the actress.

"Then, thankfully, her (the assistant direcctor's) husband pointed out that that was a terrible idea on so many levels, not least of which being that it would probably be really confusing to the cat. So I turned to YouTube instead and got a National Geographic video on cats," she added.


Ram Gopal Varma seems to have reinvented himself as a filmmaker in every aspect.

Apart from shooting Not A Love Story, inspired by the Neeraj Grover murder case, on a digital camera to cut down costs, the director has filmed the mall scenes with a high-end mobile phone.

A source associated with the film tells us they couldn't smuggle small digital cameras inside a Malad supermarket to shoot the scenes of Mahie Gill buying polythene bags and a big kitchen knife.

"The camera had to be deposited before entering the premises.

So Zaryan Patel, the cameraman, suggested shooting with an iPhone4," reveals our source, adding that only two people went in to shoot the scene.

He adds, "Obviously, Ramuji couldn't go anywhere near the place as he'd be recognised. So, armed with the phone, the cameraman shot Mahie's scenes inside HyperCity. And in 15 minutes, they were out."

Later, when the filmmaker saw the footage, he was impressed.

"Ramuji felt that the footage looked like it had been shot on CCTV cameras, so he decided to treat the scenes accordingly in the movie," explains our source, further informing that the footage from the high-end mobile phone was edited to make the 10-second scene in the movie.

Confirming the same Mahie said, "The whole film is shot in guerrilla style. However, for this particular scene, we were a bit scared of getting caught. Thankfully, it went smoothly and the result is looking, good too."

Bipasha Basu who rose to fame with two Bhatt films--Jism and Raaz--had reportedly enraged the directors after she turned down the lead role in Mukesh Bhatt's last film Murder 2.

Citing date issues, the Bong bombshell had also backed out from performing an item number. However, it looks like all that is forgiven and forgotten.

On Thursday, Bipasha signed for the lead role in Raaz 3. The film will be directed by Raaz director Vikram Bhatt and will be made in 4D.

Mukesh Bhatt said, "It is a homecoming for both Bipasha and Vikram. Yes, we did have issues earlier but, in a family, there are always different point of views that arise till the members realise that amendments need to be made."

"This is where they started and this film brought recognition to both Vikram and Bipasha," he added.

When Mukesh was asked who made the first move, he said, "Being in the same business, we keep bumping into each other. Bipasha expressed a desire to work with us again and she loved the Raaz 3 script. It is a very challenging and powerful role for her."

Vikram, who will be directing the said, "Bipasha is a very important part of the team that created Raaz as a brand.I am happy to be working with her again and hope to create the same magic with the already heady pair of Emi (Emraan Hashmi) and Jackie (Jacqueline Fernandes)."

Confirming that she has signed on the dotted line, Bips said, "I have a long and fruitful relationship with Vishesh films. I am very fond of both Maheshji and Mukeshji.They have given me two of my best films of which, Raaz, my second movie, was a golden jubilee hit. It was only a matter of time before we worked together."

Talking about the film, she said, "My role in Raaz 3 seems to be a very challenging one and the director is not only very good at his craft, but has also been a friend for a long time. The thought of working with my own people gives me a high. It is a terrific combination," she added.

Kannada cinema's teen idol Diganth got a taste of Bollywood's temperamental diva brigade when Prachi Desai, riding high since the success of "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai", opted out of his Hindi debut film at the eleventh hour.

The film, designed as a big romantic musical to give the Kannada heartthrob the right start in Bollywood, goes on floors in September, provided a suitable leading lady is found at this late stage.

"Everything was finalised. Diganth, who is a major star in Karnataka, has all the makings of a national star thanks to his Rajasthani background and his pan-India look," says a source close to the project.

"The producers P.J. Singh (of "London Dreams") and director Mani Shankar (of "Knockout") wanted to launch Diganth with a pretty fragile girl who would be able to look physically correct with the 28-year Kannada star. Prachi was finalised," he adds.

And then suddenly Prachi informed the makers that she was no longer doing the film, thereby creating panic.

Says the source, "A lot of resources have gone into pre-production. Diganth has been training to be equipped to take on competition from Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan. Everything was in place. But now the project is without a leading lady."

Incidentally, this is Prachi's second such misadventure with a southern leading man. Earlier, she opted out unceremoniously from the Tamil film "Thaidaiyaara Thaka", leaving the project high and dry at the last minute.

It is unclear what could have prompted Prachi to be so unprofessional with an established actor down south.

She might be the reigning pop star and have the world swooning to her numbers, but Lady Gaga claims that she is a loner at heart. “I’m lonely and married to loneliness,” Gaga told chat show host Simi Garewal on the latter’s show, India’s Most Desirable.

The Born This Way singer, who will soon perform in India as part of her world tour, thinks very highly of Bollywood. She says, “I love it. It’s completely surreal and genius.”

Her love for India is not just limited to Bollywood. The 25-year-old singer also vows her love for Indian cuisine. “I love Indian food. I love spicy curry. I used to eat Indian food in New York,” she says.

Known for her weird dressing sense and outlandish hairstyle, Gaga complimented Garewal for her dress. She said: “You are not dressed regularly. You look like a Fashionista in my eyes.”
Gaga, who is popular for making outrageous comments every now and then, said, “All my lashes are in the shower. Every morning I obsessively line them up.”

She also disclosed her greatest fear: “I am afraid of missing out on a creative idea because of lack of time.” Known to to be a workaholic, Gaga claims that music is her life and that “I would die without my work. I’m reborn every time with my new song and new album.”

Kim Kardashian''s wedding to Kris Humphries is estimated to be at a cost of 10 million dollars, but the reality TV star hasn't shelled out anything so far, and doesn't need to.

Thanks to a number of side deals, the Kardashian family stands to actually benefit financially from the nuptials.

Kim is said to have been paid 50,000 dollars from Las Vegas' Tao nightclub to host hers and his bachelorette and bachelor parties on July 23.

Her stepdad Bruce Jenner is also said to have negotiated a 1.5-million-dollars magazine deal for exclusive rights to her wedding photos.

Vendors involved in her big day are either discounting or giving their products/services for free in return for the exposure that goes with the Kardashian name.

Some of the freebies include the Lehr and Black wedding invitations at 10,000 dollars; the cake bill from Hansen''s Cakes is reportedly 6,000 dollars.

The Las Vegas party pad she stayed at in the Palazzo hotel during her bachelorette party cost 2,000 dollars a night.

The 30-year-old curvy babe was even gifted three Vera Wang wedding dresses to choose from on her big day at 20,000 dollars a pop.

Husband Kris Humphries, 26, is also said to have gotten a hefty discount on his two-million-dollars Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

After several names being tossed, Kamal Haasan has finally chosen the top Tollywood heroine to be his leading lady

The latest buzz in Kollywood is that Kamal Haasan has finally zeroed in on actress Anushka Shetty after having tried - almighty unsuccessfully - to cast a Bollywood heroine for his Viswaroopam. His search seems to have ended much closer to home rather than in Mumbai. Sonakshi Sinha was the original choice to play Kamal's young love interest. Post her walking out of the project, numerous names were tossed about and finally, it seems like Anushka is all set to do Viswaroopam.

Sources say Kamal seems to have been impressed by the top Tollywood heroine after her performance in the recently-released Deiva Thiirumagal and having seen the popularity she enjoys in the south. Incidentally, Anushka is also one of the most sought-after heroines at the moment. According to a source, the shooting of Viswaroopam is all set to start from Monday and Kamal Haasan will be wielding the megaphone himself post the ouster of director Selvaraghavan from the project.

Apparently talks are going on between the actress who reportedly charges a cool 1 crore per film and Kamal. "Since Anushka already has several films (Tamil and Telugu) on hand, they are trying to work out the dates to shoot her portions. Kamal will start shooting his portions from Monday onwards," adds the source.

As the film is touted to be released in both Tamil and Hindi, the Ulaganayagam is keen on roping in Bollywood actors who appeal to audiences in both languages. Recently, Rahul Bose was finalized to play one of the key roles in the film. Music director Shankar Mahadevan has already finished composing a couple of songs for the film.

Apparently, massive sets for the film - the budget of which is touted to be around 60 crore - have already been erected in a popular engineering college owned by Jeppiar on Old Mahabalipuram Road. There was a buzz that the movie would be produced by a top production house from Hyderabad but sources say it's likely to be made under the Raajkamal banner.

There is no looking back for Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor. Once lovers, who fell out of love in a bitter way, they are now trying to rekindle their lost chemistry. The two stars are meeting up regularly at director Ayan Mukherjee’s house. Hmm…what’s cooking?

Well, a film is in the making. The Wake Up Sid director Ayan Mukherjee has signed Deepika and Ranbir to play a couple in his untitled film, and as per sources, Ayan wants a great chemistry between the two. So, he is conducting ‘personal meetings’ at his house to ensure that Deepika and Ranbir are completely comfortable with each other before they start shooting for the film.

And the ex-lovers didn’t hesitate to do so. “They have now realized that a lot of the negativity was engineered and that none of them had a role to play in it. Both are now determined to be good friends which initially was the case before they started dating,” as a source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

Ayan Mukherjee has made sure that his movie’s stars bond well and can leave behind the past, because if they still hold grudge against each other and fail to relight their chemistry, it would be hard to portray them as lovers on big screen.

Earlier the film was supposed to have Katrina Kaif opposite Ranbir Kapoor. But the matters took an unexpected turn and the untitled film fell in Deepika Padukone’s lap, and she was more than happy to do it.


Kangana Ranaut is playing her cards safe; she is no more a disturbed girl in her films. After playing a vivacious small-town girl in Tanu Weds Manu, she will be seen doing comedy in Sanjay Dutt’s first production Rascals. Not only has Kangana acquired a well-shaped body, she is looking bustier then before in Rascals promo, which also stars Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt

The trailer shows her in a sexy bikini, wearing glares, followed by assistants, and one couldn’t stop raving about her better assets. The actress, who was pencil-thin, has indeed worked on her lithe frame. But many are of the view that it’s a gift from doc rather than God. Earlier, Kangana is believed to have gone under the knife for fuller lips, which were quite prominent in her films Raaz 2 and then Tanu Weds Manu. The actress blamed her pouty lips on a sea-food allergy while others thought it’s a bee-sting.

The movie also stars the handsome Arjun Rampal in a cameo role, while Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt play the rascals. The movie was supposed to release in July but was delayed. Director David Dhawan was supposed to do Partner 2 first but because of the unavailability of dates of the actors involved with that film he started working on Rascals.

Watch the trailer below:


Ever since the birth of her second son, Bingham Hawn Bellamy, actress Kate Hudson had been guarding how he looks.

But in a picture, posted by her beau, Matt Bellamy, she can be seen cuddling with the little boy. Resting her head on a hand, Hudson is seen smiling at the boy, who was born July 9. He holds a hand to his mouth in the warm snapshot, reports thesun.

Though Hudson already has a seven-year-old son Ryder, from her earlier marriage, which ended in 2006, Bingham is her first child with rocker Bellamy. The two met at an American rock festival in 2010, and announced their engagement in January, less than a year after first meeting.

The child's name was decided carefully. "Bingham is my mum's maiden name and Bing Russell was Kurt's dad. Family connections all round!" Bellamy had posted after naming the son. Bingham's middle name is the surname of Hudson's mother, famous actress, Goldie Hawn.

Kim Kardashian is "so nervous" about walking down the aisle on her wedding day.

The reality TV star - whose biological dad, Robert, passed away in 2003 to esophageal cancer at the age of 59 - admitted she is fearful of falling over and fainting during the ceremony of her marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries on Saturday (20.08.11).

Speaking to Extra's Mario Lopez, Kim - whose mother Kris has been married to Bruce Jenner since 1991 - explained: "I was so nervous to walk down the aisle by myself.

"For some reason I wasn't thinking, like, 'Oh, Bruce will be there right with me,' so I was thinking, 'I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna faint, oh my God, my train!' "

The 30-year-old socialite - whose dress will be designed by her close friend Vera Wang - has been seeking advice from supermodel Tyra Banks about the gown prior to her big day.

The talk show host told People magazine: "I gave [Kim] the advice of going with a silhouette that the world isn't used to seeing her in. So we'll see."

Despite her nerves, Kim recently explained the wedding planning process has been "more" than she could have hoped for.

She said: "I mean it's been so like everything that I have dreamed of and more. I had no idea how much work really goes into wedding planning and I really do have this newfound respect for Sharon Sacks, my wedding planner!"

Jennifer Aniston will reportedly make a guest appearance alongside her father John on the famous daytime soap opera 'Day of Our Lives'.

According to the Daily Express, the former 'Friends' actress is due to play a 'frazzled' wedding planner in several episodes of the show.

A source revealed that Aniston is hoping that her appearance will not only bolster the struggling show's ratings, but also save it from cancellation and keep her father employed in the role of Greek mobster Victor Kiriakis.

Aniston is even willing to take the minimum Screen Actors' Guild day rate of less than 645 dollars a day for the show.

"The idea of a semi-comedic role opposite her dad is hugely appealing to Jennifer," the New York Daily News quoted a close friend as saying.


After the overwhelming response to the first look and theatrical trailer of upcoming film " Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster", its makers have roped in Punjabi singing sensation Babu Maan to sing a major song in the film.

Confirming the news, producer Rahul Mittra said, "Yes, noted Punjabi music composer Jaidev and singer Babu Maan have just finished recording a song for our film and we will unveil it in our next theatrical promo in cinemas across the world by August end. Apart from this, the song will be used in the film as a part of an important sequence."

So what prompted Mittra to add a dash of Punjabi music to his film? "Well, Mahie Gill is a rebellious biwi in the film and we needed a catchy theme song for her. Hence, the idea to bring out our version of "Jugni", a popular Punjabi folk song, came about. I've personally loved Babu's songs over the years and we thought his voice was best suited for this song. People are going to love this new rebellious jugni," said an upbeat Rahul, who himself hails originally from Chandigarh. He added, "Babu is also very excited about this song and intends to perform on this track during his major concerts in India and abroad."

Starring Jimmy Shergill, Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda, "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster", would also mark Babu Maan's entry into Bollywood. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, the movie is slated for a September 23 release.

For all those who have till date complained that Freida Pinto is only looking Westward and isn't doing anything 'Indian', take note.

Freida will be seen in her most desi avatar till now in director Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel, "Tess Of The d'Urbervilles." The film, titled " Trishna", has the story shift to modern day India, where Freida plays the role of an autorickshaw driver's daughter.

The tragic love story sees her character fall in love with the son of a property developer. Winterbottom, who has directed "A Mighty Heart", will premiere his film at the Toronto film festival in September.

Hilary Duff's first wedding anniversary is extra sweet: she and Mike Comrie announced they are expecting a baby!

"This weekend, Mike and I are celebrating our one year anniversary! In memory of the special day, we decided to post some of our favorite pictures from our wedding!" she wrote on her official website Sunday.

"I can't believe it has already been a year. Time really flies when you're having fun! We also want to share the exciting news that baby makes three! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives. Thanks to everyone for the continued love and support throughout the years!"

Duff, 23, wed pro hockey player Comrie, 30, on August 14, 2010 in an intimate sunset ceremony at a $29 million estate near the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif.

"We both love kids and we're really excited," Duff told Us Weekly Wednesday at the Kendra Scott jewelry event in L.A., just days before sharing her pregnancy news with the world. "It was a big deal for us because we had a year to be married."

After weeks of teasing her crazed little monsters, Lady Gaga rush-released the video to her fourth single, "You and I" on Tuesday. After watching with increased frenzy about seven times in a half-hour, my conclusion is that there is no stranger experience than being a Gaga fan.

After the disastrous mess that was "The Edge of Glory" video, we fans were frustrated and worried that Gaga had faltered. I mean, "Judas" was the only video that lived up to my standards (as a fan since "Just Dance"), and that got banned from most TV channels.

So to say I was highly anticipating her newest video is an understatement. It blew my mind (figuratively). Gaga's known for her out-of-this-world videos and this one basically threw a middle finger to all other videos this year. What other video has mermaid sex (still waiting to hear back on how that's possible), creepy ice cream truck men, Gaga on Gaga action, psychotic running through cornfields, and not one, but two alter egos thrusting about?

Jo Calderone, Gaga's male alter ego, pretty much stole the show. Her as a young, suave Italian man made even the straightest girls' hearts flutter. With today's biggest stars coming out of left field with various alter egos, I can safely say he is the most daring of them all. Sure, there might be uproar over Gaga kissing herself, but when you know what it really represents, it doesn't matter.

The whole video is about her roller-coaster relationship with a man who tried to change her and the imagery is stark and ethereal. This latest video shares the same theme as many of her other songs: Love is hard, but never sacrifice who you are for someone else. The man in the video, played by "The Vampire Diaries'" Taylor Kinney, is trying to change Gaga's other alter ego, the mermaid Yuyi, from mystical creature to human; a metamorphosis that she tries to resist.
