CELEBS FACTORY

Trisha is back home after celebration with a bout of flu, but her latest acquisition is there to cheer the demure darling up.

The pretty lass recently acquired a little Aviva bat that was personally autographed by her favorite cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar. The actor being delighted with her newly acquired gift from Sachin, is keeping it close to her through the confinement.

While Trisha's mother pampers her and takes excellent care of her, she is going to chill out, watch some movies and catch up with friends untill she is all better and ready to hit the sets.

Dhanush in association with an energy drink brand composes a song dedicated to the National Cricket Icon Sachin Tendulkar with the sizzling Anushka Shetty shaking a leg with him.

“It's a great honour to sing for a legend like Sachin Tendulkar. I am happy that I have been chosen to do this. He is the pride of our nation. When I was offered to do the song I didn't think twice and just knew that I had to do it. I have really worked hard on the song and I hope people enjoy it,” said Dhanush adding “No I haven't met Sachin... I don't think he knows me or that I am singing a song for him but I hope he likes the song.”

“I am not nervous about it... I don't think about what people expect out of me and just believe in working hard and giving my best. When I recorded 'Kolaveri Di' I had never thought it will become such a big hit... I had just put in my best in the song. I am just doing this song for Sachin and his fans," said Dhanush when interviewed about his anthem for Sachin Tendulkar.

The video, shot at various locations in Hyderabad is directed by Dhanush himself and is expected to go on air soon.

Katrina Kaif has been named the Sexiest Woman in the World by the Indian edition of men’s magazine FHM. This is third time Katrina has been named the sexiest by FHM.

Per FHM, Katrina was named the sexiest based on polls conducted online and via SMS. Katrina Kaif has been previously voted the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM India in 2008 and 2009. Deepika Padukone was voted Sexiest in 2010.

Kabeer Sharma, Executive Editor of FHM India reveals that Katrina is the only woman to win the title of Sexiest Woman in the World three times in the 17 years since the magazine has been making the list.

The June issue of the magazine promises a list of 100 sexiest women in the world, with Katrina on the cover with the caption, "Sexiest Woman on the planet 2011 Katrina Kaif moves in next door".

The cover has Katrina posing in a white tank top and denim shorts. Her sylphlike figure, her windblown hair and her ‘come hither’ expression, makes her every bit a temptress.

There is no doubt that Katrina is beautiful, just last month she was named the ‘Most Beautiful Woman’ by People magazine and she has been immortalized as a Barbie doll.

And she is extremely popular! Besides winning beauty crowns “Katrina Kaif” is also called out for being the most searched keyword on various search engines year after year.

The euphoria following the World Cup victory is hard to describe in words. Right from the common man to high profile celebrities, all are still busy celebrating Team India's success in their own sweet way.

The 'Men In Blue' too have been partying hard ever since they bagged the Cup that Counts. 'Master Blaster'- Sachin Tendulkar, for whom it has been a life-long dream that has finally been accomplished, too had a bash for his close friends. The bash, organised by restaurateur Sanjay Narang, saw a lot of B-town celebs in attendance.

Among the big names who made it to the bash were Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Aamir Khan with Kiran Rao, Shahid Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Karan Johar and Eesha Koppikhar. Among the cricketers, Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan made it to the bash.

For a change, the B-town stars themselves turned into star-struck fans as they waited for an opportunity to pose with Sachin Tendulkar.

KJo posted his pic with Sachin on Twitter and said, "Had to tweet this!!! My big moment with the legend of all legends!!!"

Shahid Kapoor too was all starry eyed when he came to face with the God of Cricket. The actor tweeted, "What a man!!!!! Privileged to be by his side!!"

Eesha Koppikhar too only had words of praise for the Little Master. The actress tweeted, "What a moment to pose with you. Team India n u have made us proud."

The cricket fever is yet to subside and the players are still pinching themselves as they cannot believe that they have actually bought home the cup this World Cup and that they would go down in history. Bollywood too is celebrating the win and parties are being thrown in tinsel town for Dhoni and company and all of them are enjoying the joy of winning. Like Bollywood’s one of the most sought after Khan, Aamir Khan is throwing friend and neighbor Sachin Tendulkar a dinner party.

A source confirmed the news that Aamir would soon throw a dinner party for the master blaster and after that a lunch for the entire family would follow the dinner. Although nothing has been fixed, however everything would depend on the availability of Sachin and his free time.

Apart from this other actors are also thinking of throwing parties for their cricketer friends to commemorate their win over the Sri lankans. John Abraham who is a dear friend of Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni wishes to do the same. According to a source, “John was there at Dhoni’s wedding. He’s always been there with Dhoni at most important events. The only problem is that Bipasha too is friends with Dhoni. Given their current relationship status, it seems John’s party may not have Bipasha in it. Southpaw Yuvraj Singh may also be present at the party.” Well, lets see whether the hot actress and ex beau Bipasha makes to the list or not.

When everyone is celebrating and throwing parties then it is a little strange that SRK is not doing anything. But we know the reason that currently the Badshah is very busy with the 20-20 cricket tournament. However he might just take a day off and throw a bash for Yuvraj.

World Cup winning Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni today joined the growing calls to award batting ace Sachin Tendulkar the Bharat Ratna, saying no cricketer deserves it more than him.

"Yes, 200 per cent, because he is an ideal candidate, he has served the country for 21 years with a few more to come. As a cricketer, you know, if he doesn't get it, then I don't think there's anyone who'll get the Bharat Ratna ever," Dhoni said.

"I think he's done really great things for the country, taking cricket to the next level. He's known even in places where they don't know about the game, so I think it's a very big achievement taking the country forward. He's done remarkably," the Chennai Super Kings skipper said at a press meet to kickstart the IPL's fourth season, starting on Friday.

The Dhoni-led CSK , which won the double of the IPL and Champions League title last season, open their season with a home game against a Gautam Gambhir-led Kolkata Knight Riders.

His long cherished dream of winning the world cup for India having come true, Sachin Tendulkar is now in the mood to celebrate.

The Little Master has apparently sent invites to some Bollywood folks as well, we hear. In fact, Amitabh Bachchan has confirmed on his blog that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have been invited by Sachin.

“I messaged Sachin and Harbhajan on their marvelous victory and true to their spirit they responded, as always. Abhishek and Aishwarya have been invited tonight to a celebration by Sachin. The joyous mood retains its vigor,” Big B wrote on his blog.

The mega star went on to add that sports and entertainment are two unifiers of people.

“A prominent author and thinker on a public platform admitted that sport and film were the two most fertile ingredients in bringing a nation together. Nothing could be truer. They always were and shall always be, a unifier!” Big B wrote.

Normally, the Bachchans used to avoid watching the cricket matches live because they harboured a superstition that watching the match would lead to India’s defeat. But they watched the final match on Saturday and after India’s win the trio of Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya took to streets to celebrate the win with aam aadmi.

The World Cup celebrations are not over yet.

Eesha Koppikhar's brother-in-law Sanjay Narang hosted a party for Sachin Tendulkar recently. It was attended by many A-listers including Aamir Khan with wife Kiran, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar, Shahid Kapoor and Mukesh and Nita Ambani.

Ace photographer Atul Kasbekar, one of the guests, posted a picture with Sachin Tendulkar and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and thanked Abhishek in his tweet: 'And this image was taken by the multi talented @juniorbachchan, couldn't trust anyone else to do this.'

Eesha shared her picture with Sachin too, and tweeted: 'Was a great moment to pose wid u @sachin_rt. Team india n u hv made us proud. It was a great party.Held by my bro n law Mr. sanjay narang fr sachin.'
