Hudgens Doesn't Regret Nude Snaps
Hudgens Doesn't Regret Nude Snaps(NSI News Source Info) October 25, 2008: "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens doesn't regret the world seeing naked images of her, even though the situation left her "traumatized."
The 19-year-old Disney star was at the center of worldwide controversy when the full frontal shots, which she reportedly took to titillate boyfriend Zac Efron, appeared on the Internet.
But despite the pictures damaging her squeaky-clean reputation, Hudgens insists she is a great believer in fate.
She tells The Mirror, "I think that everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't take back anything that I've done. I don't like talking about it because it was something that was meant to be private and I'd still like to keep it as private as I can."
Williams Defends Lohan
Williams Defends Lohan(NSI News Source Info) October 25, 2008: Vanessa Williams has come out in defense of Lindsay Lohan following reports her recent stint on "Ugly Betty" was marred by infighting and diva antics.
Lohan's role on the show was cut down from six episodes to four, leading to speculation that her onset behavior was to blame.
But Williams, a regular star in the hit series, insists that stories about Lohan being difficult to work with are simply not true.
She says, "That's what the press does, that's what gossip's about, and media is about.
"I had a few scenes with Lindsay. She was a hard worker, she showed up on time and in the scenes I had with her, she was completely prepared. In terms of me working with Lindsay, she was professional, she knew her lines and she was great with me."

(NSI News Source Info) October 22, 2008: Enjoying some time with a gal pal, Reese Witherspoon was spotted on a retail therapy romp yesterday in Brentwood, California (October 21).

A real estate agent revealed, “Reese liked places where the entrance wasn’t on the street, she was concerned with security issues. That’s not easy to find in central London, but we came up with a few places they both seemed to like.”
While in town, Reese also stopped into a sexy lingerie shop to pick up a few items, much to the delight of Jake. An eyewitness reported, “She bought two Trudie camisoles for each and two pairs of Trudie shorts each, in two different colours - blush pink and grey.

“Sharpay is so much fun to play because she’s completely opposite of me. That’s what acting is all about, stepping into someone else’s shoes. I hope when I leave the set I’m not like Sharpay.”
She also confessed that at the outset of the HSM franchise, she had no idea what was in store for her. “Obviously we did not know it was going to be this huge phenomenon. We just thought we were doing a Disney Channel movie; Disney Channel does tons of movies every year. We did have a feeling, like we were doing something really great. Nothing obviously this huge. Just something like ‘OK, I think this is going to be really good for the kids. They are going to love this movie.’

India is influencing U.S. culture, from top designers to Disney
India is influencing U.S. culture, from top designers to Disney
(NSI News Source Info) October 20, 2008: The influence of Indian culture in mainstream New York was once largely limited to yoga classes or a chai from Starbucks - and, of course, the added chance of a killer curry in Jackson Heights.
But as the Indian economy thrives, the South Asian subcontinent is driving taste and trends halfway across the world. All things India are no longer just exotic additions to American culture - they're transforming its very fabric.
Disney's Cheetah Girls adopted an Indian look for their 'One World' film.
(NSI News Source Info) October 20, 2008: The influence of Indian culture in mainstream New York was once largely limited to yoga classes or a chai from Starbucks - and, of course, the added chance of a killer curry in Jackson Heights.
But as the Indian economy thrives, the South Asian subcontinent is driving taste and trends halfway across the world. All things India are no longer just exotic additions to American culture - they're transforming its very fabric.
Disney's Cheetah Girls adopted an Indian look for their 'One World' film."Thirteen years ago, when I first got here, I definitely felt like I was a visitor to a place, that people were unfamiliar with my culture," explains Priyanka Mathew, director of the just-opened contemporary Indian art gallery Aicon in NoHo. "But since then, there's been a transformational change in the Indian presence here - we've moved from being foreigners into being a legitimate minority."
Indeed, 1% of the American population is now of South Asian origin. The largest cluster, around 800,000, is here in the Tri-state area.
Indian influence on culture and entertainment - music, movies, art - is evident with Channel 500, the Bollywood movies-on-demand network, to the new Cheetah Girls movie, "One World," in which the Disney group breaks into Bollywood and records a soundtrack with an Indian edge.
Professional divorcee Denise Richards returned to acting with a lead in a pan-cultural Bollywood mashup, and Steven Spielberg's financing now comes from Bollywood backers. Then there's Jay-Z, who has remixed tracks to Bhangra beats, and Snoop Dogg's "Singh Is Kinng," a collaboration with Indian artist Akshay Kumar.
Southeast Asian taste is taking over fashion, too. High-end designers like Hermes (who chose Bangalore-born model Lakshmi Menon as the brand's official face) and Armani churned out an Indian-inspired collection recently, and Gaultier has even hired an India-trained designer, Ra-mesh Nair, to be his No. 2.
Ralph Lauren and Perry Ellis both hired DJ Suhel to spin for their runway shows. When the Pussycat Dolls vamped through a performance at "Fashion Rocks" last month, they were swathed in saris by Rocky S.
It was the work of stylist Hitha Prabhakar, who's also a New York correspondent for Elle magazine's Indian edition.
