Aishwarya Rai ignored by Pink Panther bosses

Aishwarya Rai ignored by Pink Panther bosses
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: It happened with Mallika Sherawat, however the girl knew that she just had a five second scene for her international flick The Myth, but this similiar news can be very dissapointing for Aishwarya Rai, the bosses of her international flick Pink Panther have ignored her completely in the trailers and posters of the flick, inspite the Indian beauty starring in major scenes.

The Steve Martin flick, which will hit the theater after four months, shows no signs of Aishwarya Rai.
A source reveals, “There has been considerable delay in the film’s release. Earlier this year, the writer’s strike hampered the film’s progress. Also, the studio executives are fighting a battle against time to draw a campaign strategy that does justice to the film. Between all this, it will be interesting to see how much of Ash’s role is retained and if she will play any part in the film’s promotion or not.”
Well that’s the reason I guess, out Bollywood queens prefer to stay in their own territory.

"I haven't met [Hank Baskett] but I know she's crazy about him," Madison added. "He's a really great influence on her and I'm so happy for her."
Wilkinson isn't the only Hefner ex who's moved on.

Britney Spears performing with Madonna in L.A.

Britney Spears performing with Madonna in L.A.
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: It was the power pop summit nobody thought would ever happen again. Madonna was set to reunite exes Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake onstage Thursday night during a stop on her Sticky & Sweet Tour at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Only Madonna, who had worked with both singers in the past, could bring the former Mouseketeers and teenage sweethearts back into the same frame.

Britney Spears and Madonna perform in Los Angeles on Thursday

Well, there are some things even Madonna can't, or won't, do. Though Spears and Timberlake both hit the stage with Madonna at the show — which was delayed three hours due to problems with the set — they did it at separate times, according to E! Online. Britney, wearing black pants, a white tuxedo-style shirt and black heels, came out to join Madonna for the show's third song, "Human Nature."
One fan told OK! magazine that it was a whole new Spears who performed with her former VMA smooching partner. "This was a completely different Britney from a year ago," the unidentified concertgoer told the magazine. "She was glowing! It looked like she actually wanted to be on the stage."
While there were no kisses this time, the pop divas apparently bonded onstage, as Madonna flung her arm around Britney's shoulder as soon as the singer came out and told the crowd, "She is not your bitch," prompting Britney to laugh and drop her signature line, "It's Britney, bitch." The two did actually kiss as Britney left the stage, but only on the hand.
According to reports, due to a collapse of some of the stage on Wednesday, it was unclear if the show would go on at all, but Madonna said she was determined to pull it off, even if it meant using mood lighting.
"Half of my stage is missing ... which is why we're in the dark," Madonna told the crowd, according to E!. "The absence of light makes it very hard to look into the audience eyes, and that's what makes performing such a joy. So come close. And thank you for your understanding." While Britney enjoyed her moment in the spotlight (her first major live performance since the disastrous 2007 VMAs), the singer was quick to leave the backstage area moments after Timberlake re-upped with Madonna for their Hard Candy duet, "4 Minutes," later in the show. It's unclear if Spears and Timberlake had any face time backstage.
OK! reported that the now-single Madonna was not shy about grinding on JT during their song, eliciting a wide, mischievous grin from Timberlake. The onstage action didn't seem to bother Madonna's alleged boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez, who was in the audience.
Madonna also got seriously political Thursday night. "I am sorry we did not win Proposition 8," she lamented, referring to the gay-marriage ban passed on Tuesday in California. "If we can have an African-American in the White House, we can have gay marriage," she told the audience, as an image of President-elect Barack Obama appeared on the big screen behind her.

(NSI News Source Info) TOKYO - November 7, 2008: In the latest award for celebrities, actress Tomoka Kurotani, 32, is the recipient of the “Woman With the Most Appealing Teeth” honor. Electric appliance maker Philips gives the award each year to promote its range of electric toothbrushes.

Justin Timberlake, Britney & Madonna to Perform Together

Justin Timberlake, Britney & Madonna to Perform Together
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: If there's one thing we know we can bank on from Madonna, it's that she'll boink Alex Rodriguez shake things up and make music history every so often. Her latest spectacle? Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are both set to perform alongside the Material Girl Thursday when her Sticky & Sweet tour rolls into L.A.'s Dodger Stadium, according to Ryan Seacrest's report on E! News.
"They are going to be onstage performing with Madonna," Seacrest said.


While Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears have both collaborated with Madonna on music and girl-on-girl action, respectively, the exes certainly haven't been spending massive amounts of quality time together in the years since they split.
Previous reports of a duet between Britney and Justin for her new album were bogus. Every so often, a story will pop up that Spears years for JT. Physically.
"If Justin and Britney end up on that stage with her... I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that before," Seacrest said. "Expect some surprises."
Hopefully by that he means Madonna making out on stage both of them ... or A-Rod joining the trio for an encore. Something along those lines.

2008 MTV Europe Music Awards Rock Liverpool

2008 MTV Europe Music Awards Rock Liverpool
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: It’s one of the biggest nights in the International music industry, and earlier this evening musicians from all over the world converged on the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England for the 2008 MTV Europe Awards.
Taking care of the hosting duties was none other than Katy Perry. And the “I Kissed a Girl” songstress had plenty of sass and costume changes (a total of 12) to fill the 2-hour time allotment.

One of the night’s highlights happened when Sir Paul McCartney’s accepted the Ultimate Legend Award, presented by U2 frontman Bono. And according to MTV Networks International Chairman Bill Roedy, the former Beatle is “one of the true greats.”
Roedy commented to press, “Not only has he been one of the most formative influences on the music scene on a global scale, but he is one of the founding fathers that has earned Liverpool the recent accolade as most musical city in the U.K.”
In addition, Britney Spears took home the award for Best Album for her song “Womanizer.” And though she wasn’t in attendance to accept, she had prepared a gracious speech via video.
Rousing musical performances of the night included Kid Rock, Beyonce Knowles, The Killers, Take That, and Kanye West, among others.

Paris Hilton’s Lack of Privacy
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: Causing a stir wherever she goes, Paris Hilton was busy making her way around Beverly Hills, California on Thursday afternoon (November 6).
According to a source on the scene, as soon as the heiress was spotted, she was surrounded by tourists and photographers which led her to drive away in her blue Bentley.

Wearing a powder blue outfit with matching sunglasses, Miss Hilton was able to fit in a little shopping amongst the chaos, also touching up her tan at the Portofino Sun Center.
In a recent interview, Paris revealed her disdain for not being able to go about her daily business without being swarmed, saying, “I try to sometimes travel… I’ll wear a wig and I try to go unnoticed, but it doesn’t ever work. No matter what country I go to, people recognize me and know who I am.”

Leona Lewis: MTV EMA Hottie
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: This past year has held so many wonderful landmarks on her meteoric rise to fame. And earlier this evening (November 6), Leona Lewis was the belle of the ball at the 2008 MTV European Music Awards.
The “Bleeding Love” songstress arrived on the red carpet looking angelic in a strapless pale pink dress teamed with a pair of open-toed silver strap heels.

As for Katy Perry’s “obsession” with her, Leona told press that she was unbelievably flattered, though she doesn’t foresee any real-life depictions of her hit song “I Kissed a Girl.”
Lewis commented, “It’s very flattering. Katy came to one of my shows in Los Angeles. She was really funny and lovely. I don’t really have girl crushes that often. I probably had people who I admire but I don’t know about a crush in that sort of way.”

Kate Moss: Sheer Shopper
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: Out enjoying a day of retail therapy, Kate Moss was spotted shopping on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood on Thursday afternoon (November 6).
Dressed in a sheer black top with tiny jean shorts, the sexy supermodel combed the racks at Decades and Decadestwo boutique with the company of a gal pal.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Miss Moss will be teaming up with pop sensation Justin Timberlake, designer Marc Jacobs and Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour to kick off The Costume Institute’s annual gala benefit in May of 2009.
Press reports tell, “Themed ‘The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion,’ the show aims to explore fashion, and the changing ideals of beauty that accompanied different eras.”
“The idea of muses or models, whether it is someone you know or someone you have seen in an image, someone of your imagination or a creature of your own invention, is important to every designer and every collection,” said Marc Jacobs. “I hate talking about inspiration, but everyone needs a catalyst. We look at this person, this model, this muse, and we design for her. It seems like a kind of fundamental thing, but wide open for lots of great clothes.”

Last look at Kyunki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi

Last look at Kyunki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008: Because it is the end: A look at the last ever episode of the epic TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

Some Kahaani: Sakshi Tanwar of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii played a part in Ekta Kapoor's other magnum opus, Kyuni..., as Parvati Agarwal, the major non-Virani on the show. This happened during the cross-over with Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, which took place in March 2007. She also appeared on the last episode of the series, perhaps in an attempt by Ekta Kapoor to have the last laugh and get soaring TRPs.
Husband no.2: Ronit Roy took over the role of Mihir Irani, Tulsi's husband. The creator of Kyunki... recently said that she wants a husband like Ronit Roy. Roy has since remained loyal to Balaji Telefilms, and is now playing Bhishma on Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki.
Calling it a day: The closing of Kyunkii... comes shortly after the closing of yet another big Ekta Kapoor show, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.
Claim to fame: Kyunki... rocketed Smriti Irani's success to the height that not only was she a household name across classes and generations all over India, she could even stand for elections in Delhi. She played the role of Tulsi Virani on the show, from 2000 till 2007, when she left after a spat with creator Ekta Kapoor.
All patched up: It took the otherwise shrewd Ekta Kapoor eight months to realise that the show can't work without its heartbeat, which was Smriti Irani, who was summoned back in April 2008. However, the damage done to the show was lasting, and finally the show is going to say goodbye to its audience.
What now?: While some actors are going to continue with Balaji telefilms in their other pursuits, stars like Smriti Irani and Sakshi Tanwar have so far not been signed on for anything. The big question is, what will they do now?

Ash sidelined in Pink Panther

Ash sidelined in Pink Panther
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008 - New Delhi: Bollywood's most coveted actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan recently faced something she hasn't faced ever before - snubbing. As the former Miss World was getting ready for her big Hollywood project - The Pink Panther, she realised, much to her shock, that she was being left out of all promos, posters etc.Originally, Ash was to appear with Steve Martin in the promos, but now it seems, The Father of the Bride star is being featured in the promo without her esteemed company.Reports say that the Bachchan daughter-in-law was really excited to be a part of this big Hollywood project, and thought it to be the first among many to come mainstream Hollywood films. The said snubbing has brought much disappointment and indignation to the actress.The production house has given a hint that they weren't quite sure how to play up her star status, since it is really limited to Asia. So much for international acclaim. Perhaps Ash will take this incident as a heads-up on the reality of her popularity. Let's hope she'll take a leaf out of Bipasha's book, and pledge to maintain her queenly status in Bollywood instead of running to Uncle Sam.

(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008 - New Delhi: After flaunting her curves and earning rave reviews for her performance in Fashion, Priyanka Chopra is all set to show off her svelte figure in swimsuits and beachwear in forthcoming film Dostana. She says she had to work really hard to get the right shape for the romantic comedy."For Fashion, I had to put on six kilos and later had to shed chip by chip as the character progressed in the film. My body structure in Dostana is more toned than in Fashion as it is a completely beach film. I've worked very hard on my body," said Priyanka.After a hectic schedule with six films in a row this year, Priyanka said shooting for Dostana with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham was like a vacation and a rejuvenating experience for her.Entirely shot in Miami, Florida, Dostana comes as a breather for the actress whose flagging career was given a new lease of life with Fashion after a series of duds - Love Story 2050, God Tussi Great Ho, Chamku and Drona."Dostana was like a vacation. It was so much fun. We were in Miami for two months and I was so fresh and rested when I came back.

The two dupe her to rent her apartment on the pretext of being a gay couple."John, Abhishek and I are best friends in the film who do everything together.

When I first met him, I was a little scared."I am a kind of person who asks a lot of questions. I test directors. I like asking and Tarun knew the answer to every question I asked. He blew my mind with his confidence and the commitment he had towards the film. By the end of the film, he's become a really close friend of mine and I admire him as a filmmaker."The former Miss World also says: "I definitely want to try singing. I might start with, maybe, a song in one of my films but I'm not sure when. But I definitely want to do it."Priyanka is currently shooting for Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminay and Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your Raashee, which she calls a "very complicated and difficult romantic comedy".She also has sequels to Farhan Akhtar's Don - The Chase Begins Again and Goldie Behl's Drona, apart from an item number opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Priyadarshan's Billo Barber.

Sonia Gandhi on silver screen

Sonia Gandhi on silver screen
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008 - Mumbai: The country's most powerful bahu's story will soon be on the sliver screen in a film called Sonia. The film directed by Kumar Kiran will look at Sonia Gandhi's life from 1964 to 2004 when she decided not to accept the position of the Prime Minister. Kumar Kiran has not sought the Congress President's permission. He says he trusts she will not have any issues with his project. "It is a creative human portrayal from an ordinary or small town Italian girl to leading the world's largest democracy, then giving up the claim," said Kumar Kiran, director.When the Censor board pointed him in the direction of 10 Janpath to seek a no objection certificate from madam, Kumar moved the Bombay High Court. The Court has asked the censor to pass the film without the certificate. "We didn't seek a written approval as I said we didn't want to. Even when the censor said we didn't seek it because we have a right to make a sincere, authentic movie without defaming her," said the director. The film will test rather turbulent waters as it goes into Sanjay Gandhi's accidental death, Indira Gandhi's attempts at bringing her son Rajiv into politics, her assassination, Rajiv' riding the sympathy wave to become Prime Minister, the Bofors controversy, his assassination and Sonia's coming centre stage.

Prachi Desai turns down Ekta Kapoor

Prachi Desai turns down Ekta Kapoor
(NSI News Source Info) November 7, 2008 - Mumbai: Prachi Desai is just one film old, but she's already courting controversy by declining mentor Ekta Kapoor's film and opting out of Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt's much talked-about Jashan. The young actress, however, insists that she hasn't upset anyone."It's true I'm out of Jashan. I really wanted to work with the Bhatts who have done such wonderful work with Kangana (Ranaut) and other girls. I said yes thinking the dates that were with Abbas-Mustan could be adjusted. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Fortunately, the Bhatts aren't upset with me. We'll work together again very soon," said Prachi.Prachi got noticed for her role as Farhan Akhtar's dutiful and beautiful wife in Rock On.Reportedly, Abbas-Mustan, the duo working with Prachi on her second film Life Partner with Tusshar Kapoor, have the actress contractually bound to ensure theirs is her second release. Prachi, however, did not comment on the matter.As for the supposed differences with Ekta, Prachi said: "Ekta, her mom Shobha aunty and I are too close for people to try and spoil our relationship. We don't only share an actress-producer bonding. I'm like a daughter in their family. And Shobha aunty is concerned about my film career. She advised me to wait until the release of Rock On before signing any new films. I'll always be relying on Ekta and Shobha aunty to guide me through my career."Prachi doesn't flinch from admitting she declined a film offer from Balaji."They had spoken to me about a film, but we hadn't signed a contract or anything. Like I said Shobha aunty and Ekta have told me to do what is best for my career."When I left their serial Kasamh Se it was a heart-wrenching decision for me. I had become a part of the Balaji family and I was moving into an area where I had no experience at all. Luckily, Ekta encouraged me to do Rock On although the role was that of a wife and mother-to-be and I had to play a woman older than I am. But then in Kasamh Se I played a wife and a daughter-in-law. So I guess those years of experience came in handy when I finally did my first film," she explained.After Rajeev Khandelwal in Aamir, Prachi is the second Balaji breakaway actor to make it big in films."What Kasamh Se did for me in two-and-a-half-years, Rock On has done in two-and-a-half hours. People used to say they wanted a daughter-in-law like Bani. Now they're saying they want a wife like Sakshi in Rock On. And to think Farhan and Ritesh Sidwani's company used to get hate mails when they signed me on for their film! People were so upset because they felt a film career was taking me away from television," she said.Prachi is now done with television. "Going into films was a big risk. I was playing a character I knew little about. I was moving from one medium to another and also to an audience from a different age group. But I had age on my side. Even if I had failed there was enough time to make corrections. I'm so glad Rock On worked."She credits reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa for creating a bridge between TV and cinema. "The reality show allowed me to be more myself. After being the weepy daughter-in-law and playing a woman between 30 and 40 for so long, I had fun dancing. I think Jhalak... got me Rock On."Prachi says she has made her parents proud. "When as a child I'd say I wanted to be an actress, they didn't take me seriously. At last the people around me are taking me seriously."

Deepa Mehta’s theatrical film “Heaven on Earth”

Deepa Mehta’s theatrical film “Heaven on Earth”
(NSI News Source Info) November 6, 2008: Preity Zinta got a nice resonant tight slap by her co-star while she was shooting for her film ‘Heaven On Earth’ and she said its the most humiliating experience of her life.

“When we were shooting the film, there was a scene where my co-star had to slap me and, of course, it was a mistake as he took one step forward and actually went smack across my face. It was the most humiliating experience of my life because everyone saw me getting slapped,” Preity told IANS.
But this mishap, Preity says, has brought her closer to her role in the film, that bagged her the prestigious Silver Hugo Award for best actress in the Feature Film Competition section at the 44th Chicago International Film Festival.
“It changed my whole perception towards my role and I realised that it’s so terrible to strip a woman of her spirit. It’s better to die than to let your spirit die. This film took me to another zone; it just shattered me because I am someone who would immediately stand up for myself,” she said.
Guess that slap was lucky for Preity because it not just improved her performance but also got her an International Award.
Bollywood actresses Priety Zinta and Seema Biswas have signed up to star in director Deepa Mehta’s forthcoming theatrical film “Heaven on Earth”.
The film is based on a young Indian woman, portrayed by Priety Zinta, who becomes a victim of domestic violence in an abusive arranged marriage.
David Hamilton who also produced “Water” for the Indian- Canadian director, will be producing ‘Heaven on Earth’ as well.
The shooting of the film is scheduled to kick off on Nov. 5, 2007, in India and Canada.

What Actresses Do For That Perfect Look?

What Actresses Do For That Perfect Look?
(NSI News Source Info) November 6, 2008: Getting under the surgical knife for that perfect look has been in vogue since ages now. Remember how ugly ducklings Rekha and Sridevi had stunning make-overs before they could finally mesmerize audiences with their so-called beauty.
Its a fairly common trend even now. But actresses refuse to admit it. Kareena Kapoor has recently, along with her famous weight-loss has also undergone a jaw correction. Koena Mitra should by now have grown tired of nose jobs (still she looks horrible). Shilpa Shetty also joins the league with multiple nose jobs. Priyanka Chopra had also undergone a nose job before she made a debut in films. Priety Zinta has also undergone a serious makeover for KANK, she is said to have gotten her laugh lines surgically removed for Salaam Namaste.
Diya Mirza had her teeth corrected before she joined the Miss India pageant and so had Aishwarya Rai. Esha Deol got her teeth and jaw corrected too.

Many actresses have also undergone breast augmentation. Sushmita Sen was the first one to admit she had a boob job. Mallika Sherawat who cannot help flaunt her cleavage on screen also had silicon implants for her debut movie Khwahish. Bipasha Basu had a modest chest during her modelling days but she thought it would add up to her oomph factor if she goes bustier. The likes of Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra openly admit to having nose and boob jobs. Preity Zinta also had implants until a long time but she got rid of them for KANK.
And after Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles, actresses have gone further down to butt jobs. Sherlyn Chopra, heavily inspired by J-Lo has had a butt job. And Kareena Kapoor wasnt quite happy with her butt either, so to look good in the bikini for Tashan, she got all the cellulite from her butt removed and got it crafted.
Commodified beauties bank heavily on their bodies to remain popular and successful in their professions. Its quite an investment they make in their bodies to make more money.

Saif's 'Rock Star' dreams coming true

Saif's 'Rock Star' dreams coming true
(NSI News Source Info) November 6, 2008 - Mumbai: Saif Ali Khan has just been offered a chance by Imtiaz Ali to have his dream come true. The actor, who is passionate about playing the guitar, is all set to play a rock star in the director's next venture."It's a film called Rock Star. I don't know if I'm equipped to handle it. Rock music is about a lot of attitude. More than just playing with an attitude, it's a way of thinking. I need to be more true to the music. It's easy to call any star a rock star. But I think it's more than your lifestyle. It's about being able to live your life the way you want," Saif said in an interview.Saif wants to work on the attitude and the guitar before doing Rock Star. Last week, he played the guitar for a charity concert for Bihar flood victims, but he played so hard that his fingers began to bleed."It has never happened before. My fingers are seriously cut. This is a sign of how seriously I played the guitar. And if I was a seasoned player that wouldn't happen. So I want to pursue this seriously. As for my performance, I think of the two AC/DC songs 'Livewire' and 'A Whole Lot Of Rosie'. I think I performed one really well, the other not so well. But finally it was fine," he said.Saif now intends to pursue guitar playing on a war scale. He owns two guitars and he intends to carry them with him to his outdoor shoots to play during free hours."I own two beautiful guitars - Fender Stratocaster (which Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton own) and a Gibson Les Paul that was gifted to me recently by the company's branch in India. I think I'll start using that. I want my guitar practice to go on side by side with the shooting. I will travel with my guitars."About the charity concert last Friday night, Saif said: "It went really well. I'd rate my performance 7 out of 10. But I was floored by how well the Pentagram lead guitarist Randolph played, also Tushar who's done so much music for Yashraj Films. In comparison, I'm still learning."Saif is honest in his self-assessment."I seriously need to get out of the amateur player's zone. I love rock music. It's very liberating. It's the same feeling as when we all went dancing as a teenager. The guitar helps me let off steam. I want to play with a group of friends, jamming and enjoying myself without any care in the world. On Friday night, I spoke to the other rock musicians. We've decided to play at some smaller centres."Girlfriend Kareena Kapoor gave his concert a miss to fulfil her professional commitment to Shah Rukh Khan. Any regrets?"Work comes first. We both have to work. She doesn't even have to explain. Even my children weren't there. They're in Delhi. But there was a huge turnout," he said.

The lady who was known to have a `midas touch' is now going through a rough patch. First it was curtains for her flagship show Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and then came her fall out with Star Plus.
