Following Sonakshi Sinha, it’s now Vidya Balan whose fake bikini pictures has hit the internet.
Her picture dressed in a black bikini posing on the cover page of a men’s magazine has hit the internet. But this is not true.
Firstly, because Vidya was out of town in fact out of the country for quite sometime and secondly her close friends have denied the fact of Vidya doing any such photo shoot.
Above all, the magazine too has denied the news of Vidya posing for such a photo shoot for their covers ever.
A source close to Vidya stated “When the world knows it is a doctored picture, what is the need for it to be published.”
Vidya is extremely upset with this fake news.
Katrina and Ranbir are no longer a couple, reports say. Some are of the view that the two have split because of Ranbir’s closeness with co-star Nargis Fakhri while others state that Katrina is looking forward to tie the knot with Ranbir while Ranbir is not ready to enter marriage.
A source stated “It was only incidental that Ranbir`s fondness for Nargis increased recently.”
The source said further, “However, what has really distanced him from Katrina is her demand that they get married, by March 2012, if not December 2011. She clearly told him that they should tie the knot in a year`s time.”
Denying the news, Katrina stated “These rumours are embarrassing, ugly, a million miles from the truth, beyond fiction.”
The actress said further, “The so-called people close to me who are saying these things actually have no proximity to me.”
She said further, “Ranbir is a friend, but there is nothing beyond. So there is no question of my breaking up with him or asking for marriage.”
She's just one film old in the tinsel town, but has precociously set her priorities in the industry. Surprisingly, awed by her acting prowess in blockbuster 'Dabangg', filmmakers are ready to accept all her conditions, by default, without any discussions.
'Shotgun' Sinha's daughter Sonakshi Sinha, who has been recently roped in for a project with the legendary star Kamal Haasan, clarified the actor and the director that she won't be doing any steamy scenes in the film.
According to a source, Sinha's contract clearly states, “no kissing, no explicit love-making and no bikini.”
And interestingly, the filmmaker has accepted all her demands and is amazed that the 23-year-old actress has signed the film.
Sonakshi was hesitant to sign the film with Kamal
Initially, the lasso was dawdling to give a thumbs up for the project as she was not willing to act any intimate scenes in the film. However, after having a brief conversation with Haasan about the script, Sonakshi gave a green signal to the project.
A little birdie spilled the beans, "Kamal was very clear that he wanted Sonakshi for the film. He wasn't even thinking of any second or third choices. After watching Dabangg, he was so impressed with her, that he asked his people to persuade her to do the film. He even blindly agreed to her every term and condition."
Kamal-Sonakshi starrer is speculated to be a remake of 2001 Hollywood film 'Hannibal', directed by Ridley Scott.
The Tamil film, to be directed by Selvaraghavan, is slated to go on floors in a few weeks, and will also be released in Telugu and Hindi.
Sonakshi busy learning Tamil and Telugu
'Dabangg' actress Sonakshi Sinha's latest endeavor is to get the hold of Tamil and Telugu language. And for that, the actress is busy taking lessons from her dad, Shatrughan Sinha.
Sonakshi said, “It is impossible for me to get a grip on Tamil and Telugu in such a short time. My father couldn’t speak either language when he did Rakht Charitra (2010). He read out the lines from cue cards but no one could make it out and so now he is teaching me this trick of the trade.”
Sonakshi will not do bold scenes
The 'Joker' actress denied to perform bold scenes, just like Bipasha, in her new venture 'Race 2'.
She is, indeed, evolving to be one of the highest paid actresses in the B-town, still, the hottie is not ready to shed her inhibitions. Sinha agreed to don a hotty look like Katrina, but not like Bipasha.
An industry insider revealed TOI, “She is already getting paid a bomb. We hear that her remuneration for Race-2 is almost a crore and she is getting paid twice that amount for the Kamal Haasan film.''
Who knows Sinha might turn to be the top Bollywood hottie without going dare-bare.
Anushka, who rocked the Tollywood with her Bommali characterization was lucky enough to get a call from Mani Rathnam for a bilingual film in Telugu and Tamil, made in the backdrop of historicity.
Preliminary information is that Mahesh Babu plays the hero, while Tamil tops Vijay and Arya are also said to be doing vital roles. Mani is said to have completed the story sittings already and had even finalized the deal with Anushka with bulk dates.
At present, Anushka is doing two films in Telugu and her venture with Mani Rathnam will take off around June. Yuvan Shankar is most likely to score the beats for the venture. Full details will be made known soon.
Katrina Kaif look-alike Barbie Dolls will hit the Indian stores on March 20. And the actress has already drawn up a list of people whom she's going to give her first batch of Barbies to.
Topping the list is her niece Maya and Farah Khan's triplets Anya, Czar and Diva.
"The first doll will go to my sister's two-and-a-half year-old daughter Maya because she is obsessed with Barbie. I'm going to London for a couple of days for work. I'll give her the doll then," said Katrina.
Katrina also plans to give the dolls to her directors Zoya Khan and Farah Khan. While three Barbie dolls will go to Farah's kids,of whom Czar is a huge fan of the actress, Katrina wants Zoya also (Zindagi Na Mile Dobaara) to line her shelves with her dolls.
"There are other tots on the give-away list too. Kabir Khan's daughter Sairah," says Katrina.
"She's just three but sings to Sheila ki Jawani with all the words and does the steps too. That's where my real compliment comes from," the actress added.
Katrina elaborated, "I will give my doll personally to all my friends in the film industry. Ali Zafar (Mere Brother Ki Dulhan's director) asked me where would he put that doll? But I snapped office or home everyone should have one doll of mine!" she laughed.
The launch of the Katrina Kaif Barbie dolls at stores will be followed by a fashion show and launch of a video introducing the doll. While the initial doll will feature as Katrina the movie star, there are plans to launch her look-alike Barbies in various other avatars too.
Katrina says, "It's a very special moment for me. It's the first time that an Asian actress has been chosen to feature in the Barbie range.My sisters are more proud of this achievement than of any of my films, which they don't have much knowledge of. But who hasn't heard of a Barbie doll?"

The film is set to release on April 22, 2011, in both India and the United States.
Ileana D'Cruz is an Indian film actress, who predominantly appears in Telugu-language films. Starting her career as a model, she made her feature film debut in Y.V.S. Chowdhary's 2006 Telugu film Devadasu. She went on to appear in commercially successful ventures Pokiri (2006), Jalsa (2008) and Kick, establishing herself as one of Telugu cinema's leading actresses.
D'Cruz made her feature film debut in 2006 in the Telugu language romance film Devadasu, directed by Y. V. S. Chowdhary, who spotted her in a "Fair and Lovely" ad film directed by Rakesh Roshan. Critics were in praise of her, particularly referring to her physique and looks; Jeevi of Idlebrain wrote that Ileana "makes a cool debut. She is good at histrionics and has a fabulous body any woman would love to possess. She has great legs and nice physique", while a review from Indiaglitz noted that she "has chiseled features and a figure to die-for." Devadasu, which also marks its lead actor Ram's acting debut, became the year's first major commercial success, eventually grossing around Indian Rupee 14 crores, whilst earning Ileana the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debutant. She next appeared opposite Mahesh Babu in the action flick Pokiri in which she portrayed an aerobics teacher, who is harassed by a corrupt police offer. The film was a huge financial success, emerging the highest-grossing Telugu film of all time until then, as well as Ileana's biggest commercial success so far.
Later that year, she made her Tamil-language film debut in Kedi (2006). Although the film did not do so well at the box-office, D'Cruz remained too busy to accept all the film roles offered to her. Her Telugu film Khatarnak (2006) in which she acted opposite Ravi Teja did not do as well as expected, which has been attributed to her glamorous appearance not going down well with the audience. She subsequently experienced a setback in her career as her following releases Rakhi (2006) and Munna (2007) proved critically and financially unsuccessful.
D'Cruz's career took a turn for the better with the release of her well-received 2007 film Aata, acting opposite Siddharth. She received favorable reviews for her performance as Satya, a college student who is on the run from the home minister's crooked son by whom she is targeted, when leading a protest and demanding punishment for his crimes. Idlebrain described her as "gorgeous" and a "treat to watch to the eyes". In 2008, she performed a lead role opposite Pawan Kalyan in Jalsa. Her 2009 film with Ravi Teja, titled Kick, was declared a hit at the box office, following which she starred in the 2009 films Rechipo and Y.V.S. Choudary's Saleem alongside Vishnu Manchu, which both performed poorly at the box office. Ileana just finished shooting for Shakti, where she plays next to Jr. NTR, which she worked earlier in Rakhi. Puri Jagannadh signed her for his forthcoming film Nenu na Rakshasi. This would be the second co-operation for Ileana with Puri, after the huge success of Pokiri in year 2006. She has done a Item song in the Kannada movie Huduga Hudugi called "Ileana Ileana". She will next appear in Anurag Basu film Barfee opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Apart from movies Ileana is passionate about horses. She has mastered the art of horse riding.
John Abraham has a body to die for and that also makes the star just perfect for any action film, but the handsome boy of Bollywood was never seen in a hard-core action movie after his villainous act in Dhoom.
So, here is John for the first time showing his muscle power and eight packs in the movie Force which is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.
So what is John doing in the film? He plays an encounter specialist; check out the gun tucked in his jeans. The movie is the remake of the Tamil film Kakha Kakha and is directed by Nishikant Kamat of Mumbai Meri Jaan fame.
John says the movie is his first pan India film after a long gap, and it is not just the action which is good in the film, the romance is also beautiful. The movie’s main lead opposite John is the chirpy Genelia D'Souza.
Here is the first look of the film that can easily remind many of Salman Khan’s action hit Wanted.
Today is the most most important day in Tollywood actor Allu Arjun's life.
Yes, today, the Varudu actor will tie the knot with his sweetheart, Sneha Reddy. While the sangeet ceremony happened last Thursday, the wedding will take place tonight. And most of our Kollywood stars, who are good friends with Bunny and his family, will attend the function.
The fact that even the sangeet was high on celebrity quotient, with actors like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan Tej, Nagarjuna, Amala, Mahesh Babu, RaNa, Priya Anand, Navdeep, Madhu Shalini and Sharwanand in full attendance, this only makes us curious about his guestlist for his wedding tonight.
Last year saw the Bollywood debut of South superstars Vikram and Suriya ..
This year the young hotties and heartthrobs of South Indian film industry are gearing up to wow the Hindi movie audience.
We give you the details of the new faces to watch out for.
Kajal Agarwal: The pretty young star Kajal Agarwal, who debuted in Bollywood with Kyun Ho Gaya Na many years ago, is all set to make a comeback with a bang. The actress will be seen playing the female lead in the Bollywood remake of Singam opposite the dashing Ajay Devgan.
Prithviraj: The hot hunk from Mollywood will be seen in Anurag Kashyap's next. The film is touted to be on an offbeat subject and may star Rani Mukherjee in the female lead.
Ananya: Kollywood newbie Ananya is also heading to Bollywood with a film opposite R Madhavan. The film will be directed by debutant director A Menon, who was bowled over by her performances in Nadodigal and Seedan.
Rana Daggubati: Another hunk and youth sensation Rana Daggubati will make his Hindi film debut with Dum Maaro Dum where he plays the role of DJ Joki. His look in the film is already gaining much attention.
Charmee: The charming Telugu actress will enter Bollywood with Amitabh Bachchan starrer Buddah. The film will be directed by Puri Jagannath.
Ileana: The gorgeous Ileana is slated to debut in Bollywood opposite King Khan. Director Vishal Bhardwaj has finalized the actress for his film adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel Two States.
Vijayalakshmi’s police complaint that Seeman had cheated her by making a false promise that he would marry her is turning dirtier every minute.
While Seeman’s advocate Chandrasekar said that his client will file a case against Vijayalakshmi for defaming him by making such false complaints, the actress has said that she has enough evidence that will bring out Seeman’s true colors.
Seeman, the advocate said, will seek compensation to the tune of 5 crores from Vijayalakshmi for defaming him.
Vijayalakshmi’s allegations have not only shocked the film fraternity but also the political circles as Seeman is the founder of the Naam Thamizhar Iyakkam, a political outfit that fights for the cause of the Sri Lankan Tamils.
The runaway success of Band Baaja Baaraat has turned Bollywood’s latest heartthrob Ranveer Singh into a workaholic. A self-confessed former “lukha,” Ranveer says he has finally discovered the joys of hard work. He is so into the work mode at the moment that he didn’t even celebrate the success of his super hit debut. “I really got busy post the movie release, though Adi (Aditya Chopra) did promise me a success party.” He says he is still waiting for that soiree to happen. Ranveer doesn’t mind working hard anymore as he says he is enjoying having his hands full with movies.
Apart from a busy diary, success has also brought him a stunning adviser in the form of co-star Anushka Sharma. When asked if he is dating her, he says, “No,” but they are close as he says she is teaching him how to balance his personal and professional life. Anushka also taught him the importance of owning a BlackBerry. Before Bollywood happened he didn’t even own a cell phone!
“I was never a fan of mobiles. In fact, when I met Anushka for the first time, I saw she was busy on her BB. Now I have realised how important it is to communicate and be in touch.”
Going by the number of producers and directors ringing him up to talk shop, one can’t blame Ranveer for not letting go of his mobile now, but things were not always like this.
After going to the US to study acting, he entered Bollywood as Shaad Ali’s assistant director. “I assisted Shaad on a few commercials. My next step was to prepare a portfolio and start promoting myself. I used to ambush people with emails and portfolios in the hunt to land a role. This experience of a struggler has taught me how to value what I have achieved and stay grounded.”
The actor also reveals his brush with the casting couch. “I have had the misfortune of experiencing it. I was asked to meet a homosexual gentleman for a role. The meeting was set in a very dingy place. When I went there, the man began asking me a few odd questions. Throughout the meeting he expected me to do something, but I just answered his questions though I felt like punching his face. I kept telling myself, if I ever land myself the role of a sleazy homosexual, my homework will be done!” Fortunately he only had to suffer a few questions because the man got irritated and ended the “meeting” after realising that the actor was in no mood to give in.
Luckily, his days of tolerating shady people are over. These days it’s all about reading scripts by talented professionals. People offering him roles similar to his character Bittu Sharma in BBB are turned down, as he says, “I have done it once and want to experiment with different roles.”
Though a newcomer, Ranveer has managed to master the trade quite well. He concentrates on scripts, while his management team handles the finances and negotiations.
Ranveer might not want to do a Bittu Sharma, but doesn’t mind romancing Anushka again as his next movie Ladies vs Ricky Bahl is opposite her. Talking about the role he says, “Ricky is a con man devoid of emotions. I am looking forward to this film.”
What about spending time with Anushka? “She is lots of fun to work with,” is all that he says. Apart from Anushka any other actress he wants to work with? “Rani Mukherji, because she is a great actress and I can learn from her. I would love to work with Kareena too as I have a crush on her.”
There has been a rumour of Sridevi's comeback for many months now. But neither the filmmaker nor the actress was ready to confirm the news.
Until now.
For the first time, R Balki confirms that Ms Hawa Hawai is making a comeback in his wife Gauri Shinde's directorial debut this year. And she might also be paired in Balki's own directorial venture with Big B.
Balki believes in placing Big B in challenging combinations with screen divas (Tabu as his sweetheart in Cheeni Kum, Vidya Balan as his mom in Paa) has solved the dilemma of how to accommodate the two larger-than-life stars together. In Gauri's film, Sridevi plays a housewife who sets out to find her own identity. She has a much more challenging role opposite Big B.
Speaking for the first time on his wife's film, Balki says, "Yes, Sridevi will star in her film. And yes, I'm doing another project with Mr Bachchan. Like Cheeni Kum and Paa it is again an audacious idea that we are both hugely excited about. Will my film too star Sridevi? Why not? But at the moment it's too early to talk about the casting of my film."
Sri-Big B diaries
The two were earlier paired together in the 1980s hit T Rama Rao's Inquilaab and in the 1990s in Mukul Anand's Khuda Gawah. Most producers shied away from pairing them together as they were seen to be individually too big in their stardom to be accommodated together. In fact Yash Chopra wanted to cast Big B and Sri together in Veer-Zaara. But the pairing didn't work out.
According to the recent buzz Shriya has replaced Deepika in an item song in Teenmaar
The buzz about Shriya Saran replacing Deepika Padukone in Teenmaar is doing the rounds in the Telugu film industry. Reportedly, Deepika was supposed to do a sizzling item number for the Telugu remake of her Bollywood film 'Love Aaj Kal'.
Though director Jayant C Paranje had convinced Deepika to do a special song, the producer declared that Shriya would do a special song.
We contacted Shriya to know more about it but she denied any such development. When asked about Teenmaar Shriya informed that the question of replacing Deepika doesn't arise as she hasn't got any offer. "I am not aware of this. I am not even aware of 'Teenmaar' and never got any such offer," said Shriya, who is busy completing her Malayalam film Casanova with Mohanlal.
Now Shriya's statement clears the air about Deepika's presence in 'Teenmaar'.
