Shah Rukh scared to work with me: Aamir

Shah Rukh scared to work with me: Aamir
(NSI News Source Info) December 21, 2008: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has said Shah Rukh Khan is scared to work with him and that is why they do not do any films together. "Actually Shah Rukh feels scared to work with me. I often say let's do a movie together but he always rejects (the offer)," said Aamir in a television interview.
Recently, Shah Rukh sparked a controversy by proclaiming himself as the biggest brand and saying there cannot be any competition with him.
While Aamir has a strained relation with Shah Rukh, his favourite actress happens to be Juhi Chawla, who is a close associate and business partner with Shah Rukh."There are many good actresses but the one I like the most is Juhi. She is a great actress," Aamir said. These days, Aamir is busy promoting his film Ghajini, which is scheduled for release on Dec 24.
Asked about the kind of movies he wants to do in future, the actor said: "I always want to do movies which touch my heart and are totally different or based upon new subjects. I always want to surprise my audience.
"Though Aamir has worked with many reputed filmmakers he revealed that his favourite director is his cousin Mansoor Khan with whom he did Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander and Akele Hum Akele Tum."
It's my good luck that I have had a chance to work with all good directors. But my favourite director is Mansoor Khan, my brother. I have done three movies with him," he said.
In Akele Hum..., Aamir starred opposite Manisha Koirala. The actor says he took more retakes for Akele Hum... than for any other film in his career. "In this movie there was a song - Aisa zakhm diya hai. I took 40-50 retakes for it," he revealed.

Bipasha in a freak accident

Bipasha in a freak accident
(NSI News Source Info) December 21, 2008: Bollywood star Bipasha Basu suffered a three-hour-long ordeal when a piece of gravel got lodged in her ear, very close to the eardrum, during the shooting of an action scene.
"We were doing a heavy duty action scene when this gravel went right inside my ear. I had to be taken to Leelavati hospital, where it had to be sucked out," said Bipasha.
"It wasn't on the surface. It went right in and I couldn't move because there was the danger that it would go in deeper and pierce the eardrums. First I tried to shake it out. Then when that didn't work I decided to let a doctor do the needful," she added.
Since the incident happened on Dec 14, which was a Sunday, no doctor was immediately available and her ordeal lasted nearly three hours.
"The producer and director tried everything. We finally headed towards Leelavati. It was John (Abraham) who got an old ENT specialist friend of his to check me out. The sweet doctor was at another hospital but drove down to Leelavati. At 4.30 p m, he finally put me out of my misery," Bipasha said.
"Who would think such a thing would happen? Normally during an action scene you protect your knees, head etc. But ear? It went straight in with a thud. "I wasn't moving, I was so petrified the gravel would go deeper into my ear. My parents were petrified. The minute the doctor said it could be taken out I was okay. It was the most bizarre thing that ever happened to me," the actress said.

Rab Ne's Anushka in love

Rab Ne's Anushka in love
(NSI News Source Info) December 21, 2008: Anushka Sharma has reasons to smile and celebrate. With her debut film, she has tasted both success and love. Her success story is the huge box office collection for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. And about her love, she spills the beans exclusively to NDTVMovies.com.
Lucky girl: Debutante Anushka Sharma could not have expected a better launch than starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan and an Aditya Chopra's directorial venture
Anushka is in love with her reel life husband Surinder Sahni. She confesses that while doing the film she shared some sort of emotional bonding with her on screen hero as well.
"Even if I tell you all the good things about Surinder Sahni, it's less. He is simple, straightforward, sweet and charming. But there are much more than words to describe about him. It's true that I totally fell in love with the character while doing the film." Even in real if she gets someone life Suridner Sahni, she will be grateful to her Rab.
"I will marry Suridner Sahni if there is someone like him exit in real life. I believe that goodness of a person remains forever but looks and beauty fade away with age. And Surinder Sahni is full of virtues," she says. Anushka says she is lucky to have got an opportunity to begin her career with the King Khan. She says that when she dealt with two different characters of Shah Rukh in Rab Ne , it was like dealing with two different people.
"This is the greatness of his acting. I never felt that one Shah Rukh was doing those two roles, it was like there were two different Shah Rukh's on the sets," she added.
The actress, who comes from an Army background, started her career as a model in Bengaluru (Bangalore) and did her first modeling assignment at the age of 15. She was raring to go up in her career and her constant drive to achieve something in life landed her this role opposite Shah Rukh.
"I never wanted to piggy back on Shah Rukh Khan and achieve success. I always want to achieve it on my own. I thought to play very responsibly and that's what I did in Rab Ne," she says. "I am extremely grateful to both Adi (Aditya Chopra) and Shah Rukh Khan for being so nice and kind to me. Shah Rukh never treated me like a newcomer. He always cooperated with me and encouraged me to do a good job. He never behaved like a superstar. I think this is what makes him so big and great," says the actress.
With this successful debutant venture now Anushka says that she is looking forward to getting some more good and challenging films. But at the moment she is busy getting accolades and wishes.

Report: Fergie and Josh Duhamel to Marry in January

Report: Fergie and Josh Duhamel to Marry in January
(NSI News Source Info) December 20, 2008: Here comes the bride! Maybe!
A little more than a year after getting engaged, Fergie and Josh Duhamel will tie the knot in January wedding, according to Access Hollywood. The couple will say "I Do!" during the weekend of January 9-11 in Southern California, according to a source. But the two have been rumored to be getting hitched multiple times before, only to deny such reports themselves later.
However, Fergie and Josh Duhamel were recently photographed at a Crate and Barrel in Beverly Hills, where they scanned kitchen items. Duhamel told TMZ they were just registering for "Christmas gifts," not wedding presents.
Mmm hmm. Lots of people scan stuff when they register for Christmas gifts.
Either way, the two seem to be very happy being engaged to each other. This is a seriously ripped couple. They could probably bench press two of our interns. Each.
"It's all going great. It's a lot fun, actually," Josh Duhamel recently told Entertainment Tonight. "We're really excited about everything and it will be good."
No official confirmation that it's imminent, but when and if the duo marries, it will likely be a legal ceremony, unlike the Spencer and Heidi sham wedding.

THE ADVOCATE DOESN'T LIKE SEAN PENN'S DICTATOR FRIENDS
(NSI News Source Info) December 19, 2008: Sean Penn (below with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez) has been enjoying popularity with the gay press because of his sensitive movie "Milk" in which he plays gay activist Harvey Milk. But the biggest gay publication of all - The Advocate - has come out AGAINST Sean now! They can't reconcile the fact that Sean openly admires Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro - dictators noted for persecution of gays (and others.) Fidel and Raul Castro put gays in concentration camps! The advocate points out that Sean Penn's idea of political heroes completely conflicts with the free-speech message of his movie "Milk." Good observation.

MILEY CYRUS : IS SHE DITCHING HER PARENTS?
(NSI News Source Info) December 19, 2008: When we first heard the rumors about Miley Cyrus filing for emancipation from her parents, we couldn't believe it. They seem like a decent and responsible- and loving - family. Now we're hearing that next week the emancipation will be officially announced! It it's true, we're very disappointed in the Hannah Montana star. Has Miley been so swept away by her twenty year old boyfriend Justin Gaston that she wants to move in with him, or what? Kids with more money than their parents just don't want to listen to them. We'd rather see Miley stay with her family until she's eighteen.

(NSI News Source Info) December 19, 2008: Celebrity Rehab patient Chyna Doll (Joanie Laurer) looks different than she did on the show last season and we can't figure out exactly why. Her face actually looks more normal than usual. Did she get bigger implants? Or did she lose weight, thus making the large implants she had, look even more inflated? We hope she hasn't acquired an addiction to silicone. She's showing off her new look, appropriately, at the premier of "The Wrestler." And it was NOT a costume party.

It is consoling to know that it's not ALL hers. It appears she's added some volume with extensions.

Bernard L. Madoff....The financier

Bernard L. Madoff....The financier
(NSI News Source Info) December 19, 2008: The financier Bernard L. Madoff, who is accused of one of the biggest frauds in Wall Street history, walked down Lexington Avenue to his apartment. A judge set new conditions for his release, including a curfew and monitoring bracelet.As investors from Palm Beach to New York to London counted their losses on Friday in what Mr. Madoff himself described as a $50 billion fraud, federal authorities took control of what remained of his firm and began to pore over its books. According to an affidavit sworn out by federal agents, Mr. Madoff himself said the fraud had totaled approximately $50 billion, a figure that would dwarf any previous financial fraud.
At first, the figure seemed impossibly large. But as the reports of losses mounted on Friday, the $50 billion figure looked increasingly plausible. One hedge fund advisory firm alone, Fairfield Greenwich Group, said on Friday that its clients had invested $7.5 billion with Mr. Madoff.

Bizarre Love Triangle: The Britney And Paris Story

Bizarre Love Triangle: The Britney And Paris Story
(NSI News Source Info) Source: Famous magazine The Claim - December 18, 2008: Just when Nicole Richie thought she'd dodged a bullet named "Paris Hilton is your sister-in-law" another equally chilling prospect came whizzing up from the down-under tabloid Famous.
Last week they reported that L.A. caroler Britney Spears had gone on a few secret dates with Paris's ex, Benji Madden. Paris found out and "literally saw red," a source told the tabloid. Can a doctor look into that?
An angry and jealous Paris pulled out the sharpest knives in her Mean Girl arsenal.
"That girl's nothing but a dirty Southern trashbag who can only get my sloppy seconds," Paris said. Conveniently, this friend also knows Britney, and was privy to Britney's zen-like counterpoint.
"She told me she thought Paris was a 'pathetic loser' and said she was just jealous because 'I'm more famous than she is'," the source claims.
It's an intriguing argument but consider that with the volatile stock market and impending food crisis, how can it be overlooked that Britney is also a boogerhead?
The Objection: I'm in a "Britney: I Want To Believe" mood today, so I'm ignoring all past evidence of her questionable taste and arguing she would not dig a Madden. Plus, between all of her promotional duties, her calendar doesn't have room for dates.
But mostly I doubt this is true because between Britney, Paris and Benji, news this big would have gotten out by now in America before blaring across the grocery stores of Australia.

At a concert last week she talked to the audience about him saying, "You know, I've got a cowboy, only my cowboy is a little bit different. I wrote this song for my cowboy – it's called 'Come On Over.' I can't help it. I want him all the time." Jessica always wants to heap praise on Tony, which must have been especially nice for him last night after he and the rest of his Cowboys lost to the Steelers.
