Preity Zinta spends birthday weekend in Dubai

New Delhi, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta is in Dubai to celebrate her 35th birthday Sunday and has plans to cook Indian food for herself. “Good afternoon guys! Chilling in Dubai for my birthday weekend! This is going to be the best year of my life,” Preity posted on her Twitter account Saturday. “I have always wondered why Ash (Aishwarya Rai) & me grow older every year while all the other actresses either stay the same age or get younger? Any guesses?” she asked. On this birthday weekend, the actress is also trying to cook some Indian food. “Ok! Its my birthday weekend so now I am going back to focusing on me…he he...

Our birdies are really excited with this buzz currently… They heard that our Husun Ki Malika, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, will be sharing the space with ‘Houseful’ co-stars. But don’t think that she will be like an add-on star to the already ‘filmful’ of actors…. It is said that beautiful Bachchan bahu will groove to the song of her sasurji’s popular 1981’s song “Apni to jaise taise, thodi aise ya waise” from ‘Laawaris’. In the song, Aishwarya will be featured along with the film’s leading men Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal and Ritesh Deshmukh. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala said to have bought the rights of the song for the film’s promotional...

While Zarine Khan is getting major attention thanks to her good performance in Veer, the girl is taking the steps slowly in the right direction. Zarine who was seen wearing fully covered dresses in Veer, is open to wearing modern clother for her upcoming movies. She says, “I am more than willing to do so. What I am sure about though is that I would never be able to wear a bikini. That’s because I am constantly thinking that I am fat, I am fat, I am fat. Till the time this voice reverberates inside my head, I will always be apprehensive.” Adding more about her weight she says, “I’m very conscious about my weight. In fact, during...

Actress Anushka Sharma, who is working with Shahid Kapoor on Parmeet Sethi’s untitled film, is taking a leaf out of her co-star’s book. Following in Shahid’s footsteps, she is wearing bum bags for her role in Patiala House. For Parmeet’s film, she needed to be thin and well-toned. However, while shooting for Patiala House opposite Akshay Kumar, where she plays a Punjabi girl, she had to be a little full and heavy on the lower body. To look full in the Punjabi outfits she needs to wear for the film, like patiala salwars and short kurtis, designer Jaimal Odedra had to suggest bum bags. A bum bag is a small pouch of fabric that is secured...

The most prestigious civilian awards, the Padma awards 2010, have been announced and Bollywood has indeed made its presence felt here too. Of the total 130 awardees, 6 are Padma Vibhushan, 43 Padma Bhushan, and 81 Padma Shri. The award winners include Ilayaraja, Aamir Khan and AR Rahman for Padma Bhushan, and Rekha, Arundhati Nag, Resul Pokutty and Saif Ali Khan for Padma Shri. Aamir Khan, who at present is in the US for the Sundance Film Festival, said it was “wonderful” to be chosen for the honour and thanked his fans and well wishers for their support. He expressed his joy saying, “The first thing that comes to my mind is my mother’s...

What’s that? Well, as per recent reports model-turned-actress Anushka Sharma has to wear bum bags to fit the character she plays in the movie Patiala House. Actually, in the movie she is portraying a Punjabi girl, like in her debut Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and when she dressed in Patiala-suits and short kurtis, she looked pencil-thin. Anushka is naturally slim and tall and her size-zero figure is just well-suited for her Yashraj’s next, which is an untitled project opposite Shahid Kapoor, where the actress needs to look fit. But for ‘Patiala House’ opposite Akshay Kumar that slender frame of hers doesn’t go well with the fleshy character....

Although Vivek Oberoi was successful in making amends with Amitabh Bachchan last week, he still hasn’t made much headway with Abhishek Bachchan. This was evident on Wednesday, at the music launch of Apoorva Lakhia’s Hide and Seek where he was invited as a special guest, as was Abhishek. While everyone waited with bated breath, expecting sparks to fly when Vivek and Abhishek crossed paths, little did they know that Vivek was timing his entry to the event after Abhishek had left. A source says, “Abhishek entered the party at 7.30pm and left soon after. All this while, Vivek kept calling the production people to find out if Abhishek was...

Sameera Reddy looked stunning in a bridal gown designed by Neeta Lulla at a fashion show to launch the high couture store Aza in Delhi on Friday. She was thrilled to be involved in the show. "This is Neeta Lulla's extremely special collection,” she said, “What I love about it is that it's got a bit of woollen in it. This is winter season and it is bitterly cold outside. I was almost freezing when I landed in Delhi today." Sameera is looking forward to her action-packed role in Ajith’s much-anticipated Asal, which also stars Bhavana and in which she did all her own stunts. The film’s due for release on Feb 12th and is guaranteed to blow...

The numero uno spot in Bollywood is at times decided not by the number of hit films an actor delivers but the number of zeroes in the paycheck. If that be the case, Kareena Kapoor certainly takes the top spot ahead of other contenders like Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra. If the latest buzz is to go by, Bebo has pocketed a hefty amount of Rs. 7 crore for director Rohit Shetty’s ‘Golmaal 3’, to be made under the banner of Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. Claiming such a huge paycheck is no small feat for an actress who gave two flops - Kambakkht Ishq and Main Aur Mrs Khanna - and just one hit, 3 Idiots last year. However,...

Earlier we had that the ace filmmaker had roped in our light-eyed beauty, Rani Mukherji, in a screen adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. Now the latest update about the film is that Deepa Mehta has included our charming lady, Vidya Balan in the script. The lady director wants Vidya to feature as Rani’s sister in the film. Vidya is said to be quite elated to bag the offer, especially to work with the director. However, going by grapevines’ stories, the two beauties, Rani and Vidya, seem to share cold vibes within each other. It all started when director Pradeep Sarkar, whose ‘Parineeta’ launched Balan to fame, chose...

The firebrand media darling of India Miss Rakhi Sawant wants to take the censors for task for their ‘bloody’ ignorance. The head of the once Bollywood sleaze who has now being transformed into an household bliss which many resident and non-resident Indians wanna marry (thanks to the sawayamber on the small tube) is doing aerobics with anger and frustration. The damsel is pissed off with the authorities of the Indian censored board and their gyan. The Censor Board has blown the daylights out of Rakhi and ishQ, with a diktat that they need to delete or bleep out the word ‘kamine’ from the mukhda (opening verse) of their video ‘Bhoot’ from...

Abhishek Bachchan's film, ‘Crooked' was supposed to star his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But she was out of the film before Abhishek started shooting for it on January 14 due to date issues. However, he isn't upset at all. According to sources, Abhishek and Ash wanted to work together again but not as a pair. They weren't playing a couple in ‘Crooked'; on the contrary, Ash was to play his enemy. His romantic interest in the film is former Miss India and VJ Sarah Jane Dias. The film, directed by Abhinay Deo, stars Sarah Jane alongside Shahana Goswami, Gul Panag and Pakistani actress Sonya Jehan, who has replaced Ash. Ash's role,...

Sonam Kapoor once called Aishwarya Rai Bachchan ‘Auntyji’. The L’Oreal issue has taken such a bad turn that Sonam Kapoor lost her sense and commented on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s age. But now Sonam Kapoor refused on calling Ash ‘Aunty’. Sonam quips, “It’s all hearsay - I never said any of that. I don’t want to comment on it anymore. A lot has been written and said and it’s all become very messy and dirty, and I don’t want to get into it anymore. I really respect Abhishek as a person and had one of my best experiences working in Delhi 6. Aishwarya Rai is Aishwarya Rai - I never said that. I would address her in a respectful manner, but...

We can’t understand why Vivek Oberoi is continuously making fool of himself. First, he got into an infamous spat with Salman Khan for his alleged girlfriend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and then he commented badly about his ex-flame Ash and now he has again fooled himself by landing at Shahrukh Khan’s party at ‘Mannat’ uninvited. After Hrithik Roshan’s birthday bash, Shahrukh invited some of his close friends to Mannat to continue the party. But unexpectedly, Vivek Oberoi arrived with his yellow bike and spoiled the party mood. He took the dance floor on fire but nobody joined him and he was given a neglected look. “He landed up uninvited...

This incident took place when Aishwarya Rai in a film shootout for Mani Ratnam's film. ‘Ravan’, got caught with the forest authorities for trespassing on forest property without permission. Maharashtra government slapped cases against 14 members of the film's crew on the charge of trespassing on forest property. According to forest official, it is illegal to enter the forest locality without permission and added. "They have been charged with illegally entering forest property and undertaking land levelling work to facilitate the film's shoot." The film compensated for the loss, he added, "After the cases were filed. The film crew applied...

Shahid Kapoor seems to be on a joy ride these days. He is not the old Shahid anymore who was once just latching. On to his famous superstar girlfriend Kareena Kapoor for getting a part of her “over-the-top” limelight. He has reinvented himself. Shahid already had the exceptional chocolate boy appearance to his credit but that was not matched by box office success. But, lately lady luck has smiled on him with hits like “Jab We Met” and the underdog movie “Kaminey.” I was just myself and success happened. In the latest interview , the actor said that he was happy with his frequently changing appearances. He has appeared on the...

Her identity was being kept secret but now the cat is out of the bag. Ranbir Kapoor would be seen romancing the American actress Sarah Thompson in Prakash Jha’s film Raajneeti. Sarah, who has had a flourishing career on American television and has also done a few notable movies (including ‘Cruel Intentions 2’), plays Ranbir’s American girlfriend. Jha signed her for the part after auditioning and rejecting more than two dozen firang girls. In the first half of the movie, Ranbir plays a student in an American university. He has an affair with Sarah but the love story is left incomplete when Ranbir has to suddenly leave for India...

Stepping out of an azure sea in that golden bikini, a ‘wet and wild’ Neha Dhupia scorches the cover of the January edition of men’s magazine Maxim. Inside the mag, she talks about various personal issues like her secret fantasy, her fitness mantra, and she also doles out tips on how to woo her, something her male fans wouldn’t want to miss. While she has moved on from the sex kitten image she got at the start of her acting career, Neha sure can slip into the bikinis and look no less hot even today.

The rumour about Bollywood diva Sushmita Sen break-up with her Dulha Mil Gaya director Mudassar Aziz has been doing rounds since a while now and they are not in talking terms. But putting a rest to all these rumours director Mudassar Aziz exclaims,” I don’t know what media is stating about our relationship in fact we never disclosed about our relationship in public to begin with. Without keeping us in loop media keeps on changing our relationship status which is ridiculous.” Buzz up!On asking Mudassar whether they are still together, he says, “I don’t want to name our relationship but I would say we- are two personalities who have a...

There is no denying the fact that Malaika Arora Khan is one of the most desirable item girl of the tinsel town with the evergreen item numbers like Chaiyyan-Chaiyyan in Dil Se and Mahi Ve in Kaante, but we have had a chance to see her share screen space with her brother-in-law, Salman Khan. For the first time, she will be seen together with Salman Khan in an item song composed by Lalit Pandit, for the Abhinav Kashyap-directed, Arbaaz Khan-produced ‘Dabangg’. The song, titled ‘Munni Badnaam Hui Darling Tere Liye’, has been choreographed by Farah Khan. It will be shot in a set resembling a rugged, sweaty Bihari bar, something like Beedi...

Bipasha Basu was in Delhi for her birthday celebrations on January 7, but unfortunately without hubby John Abraham. Though John was in Delhi, but he preferred spending time with cars than her lady love on her birthday. However, the couple flew back together to Mumbai to be there for Bipasha’s special family birthday lunch. Giving the details, the bong beauty says, “This was my first birthday in Delhi. I’ve very special links with that city. I was born in Delhi. So when I got a chance to be in the Capital for my birthday I grabbed it. To make it even better it was seriously cold in Delhi. I love the winter weather. It was the Auto...

Well, we can’t question Shahid Kapoor’s credibility as a dancer; the lad can shake his leg not just in denims but in a lungi as well. Yes, you can catch him doing a hottie-naughty dance in his next Chance Pe Dance. The movie shows him as a struggler who wants to make it big in the film industry. This particular scene has Shahid shooting for a lungi ad. The set for the scene is designed in a 1980s style with all colourful pots and bright flags arranged in a row. Shahid also flaunts a thick moustache and is dressed in a tacky yellow-coloured shirt and a deep blue lungi, as he shows some jhatkas-matkas. As reported, the lungi brand...

Before you begin the guessing game, let’s kill the suspense. Hrithik Roshan wasn’t locked out of the house by his wife nor is there any friction between the couple at the moment, at least so it seems. Yet, Hrithik is having sleepless nights. Why? The actor apparently doesn’t want to leave any boulder unturned to get his paraplegic, wheel chair-bound character right in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Guzaarish. So Hrithik has been lying awake at nights, memorizing his lengthy dialogues from the film. And, interestingly, the star rehearses his dialogues not in the confines of his Juhu apartment, but out in the balcony. The...

We wish you a very happy birthday Deepika and a great year ahead. del.icio.us Tags: Deepika padukone birthday,hot pictures,sexy bollywood actress pictures,bollywood gossips Technorati...

Vidya Balan is one actress in our industry who has constantly been under criticism for her mature looks and bad dressing sense, but at the same time, there is not one critic who has ever found any flaw in the characters played by her. Always up and ready for the challenging roles, she impressed everyone with the mature handling of her character in ‘Paa’ and now will again be seen in a totally different role of a earthy village woman in ‘Ishqiya’ with Naseruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi. “I play a village belle,” she explains, “Yet I’m fully aware of my sexual charms and within the four walls of the bedroom, I’m unapologetic about using...

Shahid Kapoor is the new face of Levi’s fitting Signature jeans. As Shahid replaces, Deepika Padukone whose contract with Levi’s got over last year in December, this becomes Shahid’s biggest ever endorsement deal.
