Madonna has been making headlines on her controversial MDNA world tour but the latest striptease act has been her most outrageous onstage stunt so far.

The invincible Queen of pop had invited fresh controversy during a highly charged performance at the Turk Telecom Arena in Istanbul to a crowd of 55,000 people.

Madonna appeared on stage wearing a white shirt and a pair of pin striped trousers. She had a cane in hand and wore her blonde hair in an updo. As the material girl got into the song performing to her provocative 1995 hit 'Human Nature,' her supposed dance routine turned into a striptease undressing herself getting caught in the moment to much pleasure of her excited fans.

The Girl Gone Wild singer threw the cane aside and attracted a lot of attention. She then pulled open her shirt displaying a strapped bra top. As her fans cheered, She took off her shirt and started undoing her pants eventually ripping off the first layer of her bra. The dance came to an end with Madonna revealing her sexy lacy lingerie and pulled her bra straps in a few suggestive tugs before pulling the entire cup down to briefly expose her right breast.

You can’t think of Ishqiya (2010), the movie written and produced by Vishal Bhardwaj, without thinking of its central character – Krishna.

In what was one her most powerful roles, Vidya Balan played the sultry, sharp-tongued character in printed saris and long tresses. Playing a dominatrix of sorts, Vidya's kiss and intimate scenes with Arshad Warsi became one of the talking points of the movie.

So now, as Madhuri Dixit-Nene prepares to start shooting for the sequel (Dedh Ishqiya) in September, everyone wants to know what her character along with Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah is going to be like.

Madhuri says, “I know there were talks about me being associated with the project even before I gave my nod. But at that time, I was taking things slowly to settle down and help my kids adjust with the new environment.”

“I’m really excited about both my co-stars. They were brilliant in Ishqiya. I loved that film also because of its director Abhishek, who didn’t make it seem like his debut film. And I don’t have enough words to praise Vidya Balan for her awesome performance that took the film to another level,” added Madhuri, who is all praises for Ishqiya’s actors and director Abhishek Chaubey.

If her character is going to be anything like Vidya’s, the question arises whether the 45-year-old mother of two will be comfortable with intimate scenes.

“If I’m convinced that the intimate scenes are essential to the script and I know it will be shot aesthetically, I won’t say no to intimate scenes. Vidya’s scenes were shot so beautifully in Ishqiya. If Dedh Ishqiya absolutely needs something of that sort, I’m game.

I don’t think marriage or motherhood has anything to do with an actor’s work. My kids (Arin and Rayan) and husband (Dr Sriram Nene) know that I’m an artiste. I can’t shy away from anything that a script demands, even if it’s physical intimacy,” reasoned the actor.

Of course, the veteran actor won’t be in unfamiliar territory, having shot for intimate kissing and lovemaking scenes with Vinod Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and Aamir Khan back then. Let all us Madhuri fans go back in time for them steamy scenes later and look at the beautiful Madhuri gyrating for one of the hit songs of the millennium.

First there was news that Arya will lock lips with his co-stars Hansika Motwani and Anjali in the Tamil remake of Delhi Belly, and now reports have it that the handsome actor will also do the steamy bedroom scenes with his female co-stars for the film that is titled 'Settai'.

Director R. Kannan recently announced that Settai will have no expletives like the original, but surprisingly he wants to make the romantic sequences between Arya and Hansika Motwani hot and racy enough to leave the audiences asking for more.

According to the director, Arya will not only be locking lips with Hansika and Anjali but would also share steamy bedroom scenes with them. Those who have watched Delhi Belly know that Imran Khan did intimate scenes with both of his female co-stars in the film, thus the passionate sequences are requirement of the film’s script. 

"The kissing and bedroom sequences amongst the actor are very important to establish the intimacy between the characters and I hope to shoot them all aesthetically," said director R. Kannan who is expecting a U/A certificate for his film despite of all that kissing and lovemaking scenes.

Originally from London, the British hottie couldn’t refrain from being sexy on the silver screen. She had sizzled in a brief role earlier in the Ajith starrer 'Billa (2007)' before 'Bodyguard'.

The sexy lass has now shot for the item number 'Aa Ante Amalapuram' in the forthcoming movie Maximum starring Naseeruddin Shah, Sonu Sood and Neha Dhupia.  

The item track that was well sung by Malathy has a mass appeal to it, but more than the song it’s Hazel who wows you with her sexy makeover.

The song is definitely helping her to earn fans, as she gyrates in a true desi style doing jhatka-matka and showing off ample curves. The spicy song indeed has a catchy tune, thanks to the music composer Devi Sri Prasad, whose super hit Telugu composition Ringa Ringa was made into Dhinka Chika in Bollywood.

'Aa Ante Amalapuram' is originally from the Telugu hit film Arya starring Allu Arjun. Sonu Sood, the producer of Maximum bought the rights of the song from the makers. The lyrics of the song also draw inspiration from the original. The meaning of "Aa Ante Amalapuram is: “Aa means Amalapuram”; Amalapuram is a small town in Andhra Pradesh.

Here is Hazel Keech dancing to the tune of Aa Ante Amlapuram. Item girl or item bomb?

It's been a month since the teaser of Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger was launched with much aplomb showcasing Salman Khan at his best. The teaser met with rave reviews about the action sequences that Salman pulls off. However, there were no signs of the film's leading lady, Katrina Kaif.

Sonakshi Sinha admits that she is not bold enough to do an item number, but said that she won't mind doing one if presented in a right manner.

"I haven't been offered any item number till now. If there is a good song, I am convinced enough and I am presented in a right way, then why not?," said Sonakshi of her expectations to perform for a item song while promoting her latest release "Rowdy Rathore" with co-star Akshay Kumar and director Prabhu Deva.

What about the item song "Chammak challo chail chabeeli" in "Rowdy Rathore"?

"'Chammak challo chail chabeeli' is not an item song. It's a very situational song with a wedding as its backdrop," explained Sonakshi, who debuted as a demure village belle in 'Dabangg.'

Your role in 'Rowdy Rathore.' Doesn't it also show you in a similar desi avatar.

"I am not waiting to get a role that will change my desi girl image, but still if I get something, which requires me to be more westernised and my character is good, I won't mind doing it. Right now I am happy representing my own culture." added Sonakshi.

Looks like the actor is in no rush to change her desi girl image.

After endorsing a watch brand, an airline company and a camera series, model/actor Deepika Padukone has now been roped in to be the face of pens!

The dashing diva has been named brand ambassador of Pilot, a known brand from writing instruments company Luxor, with whom she has signed a two-year contract for its multimedia campaign.

Deepika was zeroed in on due to her ambitious and hardworking attitude, which has helped her tread a successful Bollywood career starting from "Om Shanti Om" in 2007 to her last release "Desi Boyz", released earlier this year.

"Deepika comes across as a go-getter who has made it on her own. She is confident of her choices and works hard to achieve what she desires from life," said Pooja Jain, executive director, Luxor Group, said in a statement.

"Deepika rightly represents the youth, who are passionate and seek excellence in their endeavours. Luxor range of writing instruments is exported to 110 countries worldwide thus we also wanted a face that would be internationally recognised," she added.

The ad campaign for Pilot will be created by filmmaker R. Balakrishnan's Lowe Lintas.

"Deepika is a confident person and represents the youth which is aware and determined. The ad campaign for Pilot will keep this synchronicity in mind and will have a young feel," said Balakrishnan, popularly known as R. Balki.

Newcomer Esha Gupta, who was recently seen in Jannat 2, has been shooting for Prakash Jha’s drama in Panchmarhi and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. The model turned actor had to juggle her dates between this project as well as another – Vikram Bhatt’s thriller.

Just before Bhatt’s film wrapped up recently, the makers decided to include a belly dancing song filmed on her.

As it was a last-minute decision, there was no way Esha could rehearse for the track for a few days before the filming. She essays an actor in the film and the makers wanted a hot number picturised on her and co-star Emraan Hashmi.

With little time at her disposal, Esha rehearsed for the steps for 10 hours followed by the shoot, so that the schedule of her other project did not get disrupted. As the track did not have Emraan dancing with her but just be present in the song, she managed to rehearse alone.

“I have learnt a bit of belly dancing earlier, it was easier for me to pick up the steps in a limited time period. I rehearsed for the track non-stop before the shoot. I was happy that I could pull it off in such a limited period,” Said Esha.

At the end of the shoot, she felt that she was a thorough belly dancer who knew how to shimmy just perfectly.

While Ram Gopal Varma and Sanjay Dutt fight it out in public, Kangna Ranaut who finds herself caught in the middle is maintaining total silence about the entire episode.

Sources close to the actor state that Kangna does not even want to take a ‘no comment’ stance.

In fact, The actor refuses to utter even a single word about it.

After the debacle of his recent release, RGV had stated on his micro-blogging site that Dutt had forced him to drop Kangna Ranaut from his film.

“Kangna wants to steer clear from any controversy and instead focus on her work,” says a source.

At one time Kangana was extremely friendly with both Sanjay and his wife Maanayata. Kangna’s personal rapport with the star had even helped her professionally as she found herself in several films Dutt was part of.

But after a fall out over a year ago, the actor found herself at the receiving end from Dutt and his pals.

The schism in the friendship was evident when she was sidelined during the promotions of Rascals. Kangna then acted difficult during the dubbing of the film. Apparently differences between the couple and her arose after she began talking about her proximity to them.

Irrfan, Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill along with the crew of Tigmanshu Dhulia's upcoming  sequel of 'Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster' are currently shooting in the interiors of Gujarat.

As most of the scenes are being shot outdoors in Baria, over an hour’s drive from Vadodara, the rising mercury (up to 45 degrees) is making filming difficult with many parched throats. To beat the heat, Mahie began having the local chaas. She got hooked onto it and now her co-stars as well as several production folk have followed suit!

“As we are shooting outdoors, the heat is unbearable. I am on a thanda chhas diet and it really is our saving grace over here to beat the heat,” said hottie Mahie Gill on her way of beating the summer heat.

“We call it the chaas diet. It’s so hot that we don’t feel like eating anything. Mahie first began sipping glasses of it. All her meals consist of huge quantity of the yoghurt drink more then food. She even made her co-stars Irrfan and Jimmy take a fancy to it,” says a unit source.

“Chaas contains more water than lassi and has the butterfat removed, so it is the perfect thirst quencher. Not a single day passes without endless glasses of chaas for us,” adds the source.

Hari, who is planning to do a sequel on 'Singam' has disclosed the role that Hansika is going to play. 

The OKOK girl, who is affectionately called as ‘Chinna Kushbu’ of Kollywood will portray the role of a school girl in Singam 2. This is the first time Suriya and Hansika are coming together for a film. 

Hari is also looking to retain the original cast of 'Singam' adding Santhanam and Aachi Manorama among the cast list for the sequel. 

“We both have become sort of a pair,” said Hansika in a recent interview, commenting on the fact that she and Santhanam are doing a lot of films together post OKOK this year including Singam 2, Settai, Vaalu and Vettai Mannan.

Selvaraghavan seems to be pulling out all stops for his film 'Irandam Ulagam' with Arya and Anushka.

The team will be flying to Georgia for a two month schedule and everybody is excited.Selva was there earlier to scout for locations and was joined by wife Gitanjali and baby daughter, Lilavathi.

Portions of Irandam Ulagam have already been shot in Hyderabad but the shoot was delayed because of the FEFSI - TFPC strike. Now the team is eager to make up for lost time. Arya has started work on Settai as well and will be juggling his dates to make room for both films.

Dhanush has decided that he has had enough of intense, serious roles as his last two films - Mayakkam Enna and 3 saw him in similar avatars.

Now we hear that the actor has decided to do a proper light hearted film with none other than A.Sargunam of 'Kalavani' and 'Vaagai Sooda Va' fame. 

Sargunam is doing a film with Vikram Prabhu called 'Kovathai Alli Konjigiren' and Dhanush is also busy with his Bollywood debut and Bharat Bala film.

The Dhanush - Sargunam project will probably take off after their schedules are cleared. Their film has been entitled 'Sotta Vazhakutty. Kathiresan'.

More details about the crew and rest of the cast will be announced soon.

Gautham Menon seems to have taken on a huge task in attempting a tri - lingual, that from the beginning appeared to have hiccups. 

Ram was supposed to be the male lead in the Telugu version but he opted out and had to be replaced with Nani.  Now the Hindi version of the film has run into troubled waters.

Apparently the Hindi version does not have any takers because Gautham's recent release 'Ek Deewana Tha' failed at the box office. 

Besides producers feel that Aditya Roy Kapoor who had supporting roles in Guzaarish and Action Replay is not bankable as a solo hero. So the film has been stalled. 

Gautham has maintained that Aditya had some date issues so the Hindi version is delayed but work is proceeding smoothly in Tamil and Telugu.

Vidya Balan’s Kahani, in which she played the role of a pregnant woman in search of her lost husband, will be re-made in Tamil and Telugu. Nemichand Jhabhak Productions, which has produced films like Nan Avan Illai, Anjathe and Mappillai, will produce this film too. However, the remake right lies with the Bollywood based Endemol India Private Limted, so Nemichand Jhabhak Productions will be their investment partner.

The producers are in talks with the top directors and actors of the Tamil industry. An official announcement can be expected very soon.

Kahani, apart from Vidya, starred Parambrata Chatterjee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Indraneil Sengupta and Saswata Chatterjee in supporting role. The movie was directed by Sujoy Ghosh.

Aishwarya Dhanush was at the New York Indian film Festival recently, where her debut movie 3 was screened. 

The young filmmaker was applauded by the giants of the film industry, who were at the festival, for her efforts in making a beautiful psychological thriller.

A special function was also conducted by the New York Tamil Sangam to honour Aishwarya for her good work. The association presented her the ‘Pride of Tamil Nadu’ award. The members of the association said that though she is the daughter of Rajinikanth, she has earned this for her own hard work.

Celebsfactory.com takes pride in wishing the ‘Pride of Tamil Nadu’ hearty congratulations.

Lingusamy is planning to remake his Arya-Madhavan starrer Vettai in Hindi.

The director had approached Asin to reprise the role of Sameera Reddy, who played the wife of Madhavan and elder sibling of Amala Paul in the film.

But Asin seems to have turned down the offer.

“Right now I’m not ready to take up films that have multiple heroines. I definitely cannot do the role of an elder sister. And I also have some date issues,” said Asin justifying her decision to turn down Lingusamy.

Hansika has all the reason to smile. It has been a sensational year for the pretty actress.

The actor exclaimed that she is very proud of her achievement and hopes that she keeps rocking.

At 20, she has gifted herself a navy blue BMW series 5 sedan. She even got her lucky number 9 for her car. She took her family for a ride in her brand new sedan and is also planning to take her friends in Mumbai out for weekend.

The OKOK actor has her kitty full of exciting projects. She has signed up for Settai with Arya, Singam 2 with Surya, Vettai Mannan and Vaalu with STR.

Here’s a toast to the young actress for her achievement and we wish her all the success.

In showbiz, they say "Nothing succeeds like success".

Pakistani import and wannabe Bollywood star Veena Malik, who invited fatwas back home for posing in the nude for FHM sometime ago, is forever out to give the adage her own spin.

"Nothing succeeds like 'sexcess'.

Veena's Bollywood foray so far has included a couple of forgettable item dances besides a stint in the fourth season of the popular reality show, Bigg Boss, where she openly cavorted with rumoured ex Ashmit Patel, ensuring big TRPs.

The controversial Pakistani starlet recently posed for some saucy photo shoots for the publicity campaign of her debut feature, 'Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai.' The film directed by debutante Anandbalraj is a naughty comedy about love, lies and the lust for money.

True to the mood, Veena dabbed on some loud red lipstick for the photo shoot, to accessorise a garish gown, that looked more like a designer's faux pas in a bid to highlight her ample assets.

If you're really dying to know of Veena's costar in 'Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai.' Then be no surprised to find out that its Raja Chaudhary, the bad boy of the Bhojpuri film industry and former husband of Shweta Tiwari, who makes more news with his streetside brawls than any sane reason.

Little-known Tamil actor Dhanya Balakrishna, who hails from Bangalore, has become an "issue" between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu after she allegedly hurt Tamil sentiment by posting certain messages on her Facebook account.

Dhanya's facebook post regarding the IPL playoffs has almost cost the budding actor her promising career in Kollywood.

The actor's remarks ignited a fierce backlash on social networking sites, rattling the tinsel world damsel so much that she has decided to shun the Tamil film industry for good.

After the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) entered the playoffs, the young star gave vent to her feelings at local team Royal Challengers Bangalore's defeat turning out to be a gain for CSK.

Referring to the decades-old Cauvery river water sharing dispute she wrote,

Samantha Ruth Prabhu remains a hot and happening actor ever since she made her debut with the Gowtham Menon directed 'Ye Maaya Chesave (2010)'.

The 25 year old actor who is currently busy with Gautham Menon’s Neethane En Ponvasantham with Jiiva and Mani Ratnam's Kadal opposite debutante Gautham is still awaiting release of film directed by S.S Rajamoulu, a bilingual titled 'Eega' that is being made as 'Naan Ee' in Tamil.

Meanwhile, the actor has hit the headlines with reports confirming her part in Vikram's next film following 'Thaandavam' better known as director Shankar's big venture about the issues in election.

The Endhiran director is all set to start his work for Therdhal, with Aascar Ravichandran producing the film. P.C Sriram will crank the camera and A.R Rahman will compose the music for the film.

According to our sources, the film might also have another heroine apart from Samantha and this role would most probably go to an actor with Bollywood influence.

Newbie actress Parineeti Chopra, who is basking in the glory of her latest film 'Ishaqzaade' says that she is ready to don a bikini and to shoot for intimate kissing and lovemaking scenes for the film as the script demands.

"I have no limitations and that is because I believe in myself. When you finish reading a script and you still remember about that one kissing scene and think that the script is good... But just because it has a kissing scene, hence you will not do it. This means the writer must have wrote that scene with an intention and you have not understood it," said the 24 year old actor who started her career with 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (2011).'

"When I was reading the script for 'Ishaqzaade', I did not think of love making or kissing scene. The placement of the scene in the movie is right and it is not that it has been put for fun or for everyone to enjoy. If you like the script for what it is... if the intention of the writer is to have a lovemaking scene, or kissing scene or bikini or dance or whatever, I will do it. I feel as an actor one must have no inhibitions," said Parineeti about her intimate scenes in 'Ishaqzaade'between her and co-star Arjun Kapoor.

'Ishaqzaade' is a romantic drama directed by Habib Faisal and produced by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films. While the film is the launch pad for Arjun, it is the second outing for Faisal as a director after 'Do Dooni Chaar'. The film released on May 11 and is doing well at the box office collecting over Rs 16 crores in its first weekend.

The rustic love story has turned out to be fifth biggest first day opener after 'Agneepath', 'Housefull 2', 'Agent Vinod' and 'Jannat 2.'

The ‘mystery’ woman who had arranged for cricketers Rahul Sharma and Wayne Parnell to be present during the rave party at Juhu’s Oakwood Premier hotel that was raided on Sunday, has been identified by the cops. They mentioned of the number of people detained during this operation arresting the establishment’s director and 19 foreign nationals with six of them being IPL cheer girls.

The woman, Namrata Kumar is a public relations executive working for a magazine and had got in touch with Parnell through one of his friends, model and actress Sofia Hayat. The former got acquainted to Sofia when the model had posed for a photo shoot of the magazine.

According to police officers, Namrata Kumar, who was assigned to make the party glamorous and attractive had asked Hayat to attend the event and also bring her friend Parnell knowing that the South African cricketer would have few more players joining the bash.

In the statement to the police, Wayne Parnell, the South African cricketer had confirmed that he was invited by a friend, who knew a PR representative for the event. He said that he was invited being told that it was a birthday party.

When Namrata Kumar was called by Juhu police to record her statement, She reportedly told cops that she was responsible for inviting high-profile guests and celebrities to the party as a PR execitive. She admitted that she knew nothing about the drugs.

When contacted Sofia, she said that she knew Parnell as a friend, but has no connection with Rahul Sharma.

“I was going to meet Wayne at the party at 7 pm, but before I could reach, the police had begun the raid,” said the bold model adding that she was aware the South African did not smoke or drink.

Police officers, however, said Sofia Hayat was present along with Parnell when they raided the hotel. But when they reached the terrace, she had gone down to the lobby to receive a few guests and left the venue as she learnt about the raid.

Sofia Hayat denied her involvement and had refused to comment about having invited her South African cricketer friend Parnell for the party.

While shooting for an intimate scene with John Abraham, Kangna Ranaut's glass bangles broke and left her with several cuts..

Call them occupational hazards?

Kangna Ranaut recently learnt about the occupational hazards in filming a scene the hard way when she injured herself on the sets of her new film 'Shootout at Wadala' directed by Sanjay Gupta.

According to our sources, despite John holding on to Kangana’s hands quite gently, Kangana injured herself while shooting for an intimate romantic scene with John Abraham with her glass bangles that were broken during the scene.

“The scene is meant to be intensely passionate because John and Kangna’s characters meet after a considerable gap of time. To get their expressions right they had even rehearsed for the scene earlier. However, when the actual scene was being shot, the glass bangles she was wearing, broke. The cuts around her wrist made her hand bleed."

"Kangana was given first aid immediately and a doctor was called to attend to her. Later, when the actor was back to resume shoot, the director didn’t want to risk Kangana getting hurt again and was given gold bangles to wear for the scene,” explained our source.

First there was Poonam Pandey and then came Rozlyn Khan. The name of the game is exposure and both girls are making sure they grab a lot of eyeballs, while raising a few eyebrows.

Rozlyn, the Gladrags model has followed in Poonam Pandey's footsteps and stripped off.

While the latter did it to celebrate Kolkata Knight Riders winning the IPL trophy, Rozlyn has did it for the skipper of the opposing team – Chennai Super Kings’ captain M.S Dhoni.

The model/actress, who is acting in a yet-to-be-released film ‘Dhama Chaukdi, tweeted,

After scorching the screen with Mahie Gill in an uninhabited act of intimate smooching and lovemaking scenes in Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Randep Hooda has developed a distinct image among his female fans.

The actor admits he has no qualms with doing intimate bedroom scenes. Though initially, he was a little embarrassed when his female fans made some quirky requests, 

 “Some women at parties would come up to me and say, ‘We need a driver.’ Now, they were all married with their husbands standing just beside them. At times, I would go red in the face,” recalled Randeep Hooda.

The actor goes on to say that he is clear of not having any apprehensions getting cosy on the big screen and admitted that he actually finds emotional scenes tougher to shoot than romantic ones.

 “It’s fun doing such scenes with lovely ladies, ” added Randeep (in a naughty tone).

 “Erotica in a film largely depends on the emotional state of the character and how a relationship is at a given stage. It’s not just about f#Cking for God’s sake,” explained the actor who just returned from Sri Lanka after shooting some hot scenes with co-star Sunny Leone for Jism II.

If we talk about hot bods in Bollywood then Deepika Padukone definitely falls in the top 5 of this very short list and the actor's above seen bikini sequence in the trailer of 'Cocktail' has become the talk of the town.

The actor has given an important tip to people seeking for a fit body:
“If you don't like the gym, get involved in a sport, take dance lessons or do the kind of physical activity that interests you," said Deepika Padukone who portrays Venocica, an impulsive and care free personality in Cocktail.

“Being skinny is not 'hot and happening' at all; rather, a toned, athletic body is the way to go!,” she added.

Cocktail starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty is directed by Homi Adajania of 'Being Cyrus (2006)' fame. It is produced by Saif Ali Khan, Dinesh Vijan and Sunil Lulla  and is expected to release in July, 2012.
