Amitabh Bachachan Moved By Indian Idol 5
Season 5 of Indian Idol started with a bang on Monday. Amitabh Bachchan wrote on his blog that the hopes, aspirations, victory and defeat of the young “would move any human”. Big B accepted that he was indeed touched by the contestants while watching Indian Idol. And also the fact that he watches the show with “great interest and expectations”.
Two episodes over and the excitement has already started on the show. With judges Anu Malik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant pulling each other’s legs, the entertainment has just begun. Already shorlisted some talented singers, Indian Idol 5 seems to be quite promising. Our fingers are crossed!!!
Post IPL, What Is SRK Doing?
After losing over IPL matches, the co-owner of the Team Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his home production movie Ra.one. After Bobby Chawla (the CEO, Red Chillies) chose a brief period of illness and hospitalization, the kind-hearted superstar has taken over the additional burden of production onto his his already overloaded shoulders. The actor was busy shooting prior to this but this extra work is keeping him really busy, away from the whole world.
To this the great SRK tweets, “Whole day gone in meetings for production etc… So many things happening.. Sometimes don’t even realize how the day comes to the end. Wish, Bobby my friend gets well sooner than soon. He is still in the hospital and the film is so difficult in terms of production”.
As per the 44-years old actor, the title ‘Ra.One’ means “Random Access Version One”. I think we will understand the meaning and relevance better after the movie hits the floor. Let us see in spite of all these hurdles, when will the movie be on air for us to view and guess the real meaning.

Kim Kardashian Looking Very Sexy In Bikini
Kim Kardashian shows off her stunning bikini body
In my opinion she has become wiser with age and now has a number of business products and has developed the Kim Kardashian ‘brand’ a great deal to the point where she has numerous income streams. Suggesting that a super hot 29 year old is a too old to be judging models is a bit of a stretch. Kardashian is still one of the hottest women in celebrity life.
Kim shrugged off the haters too, but she has been considering her life as she gets older and especially her relationships. Here she is talking about on again off again boyfriend Reggie Bush: “We just made the decision that we want to make it work, and the time off was really beneficial for the both of us.”
Kardashian will be in the spotlight for a few more years at the least, and with her stunning beauty it’s easy to see why.
Kim Kardashian Looking Very Hot
Some critics have said Kim Kardashian’s emaciated look which she tweeted in a recent pic is bordering on unhealthy! She still has her curves, but also has some crazy looking abs and bones are visible! Some say it is a result of overuse of the Quicktrim diet.
When the Kardashians first became popular they were emphasising themselves as curvy healthy girls, the alternative to the stick figure Paris Hilton types. But now it seems Kardashian has given in, and is alo going for the praying mantis figure.
Is Quicktrim dodgy though? On their home page QuickTrim write: [Our] statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Not evaluated!
However Kim claims she is healthy and fit: “I really feel like I have reached my fitness goal and now I am toned, fit and at a healthy weight and I just need to keep it up!”

Deepika Padukpne goes bold for Dabboo Ratnani this year
The photo which is creating buzz this year is that of the bold and beautiful Deepika Padukone whose pose in the sofa gives an illusion that she is wearing nothing. Last year, Deepika had appeared in the calendar with a saree.
“I wanted to make her look sensual, but aesthetic. Last year, I had shot her in a sari, so this is in total contrast. She strikes a thinking, dreamy pose, and I have used lighting to match her mood,” said Ratnani.

A grand reception for Raj-Shilpa at the House of Commons
They got married two months back. They had a long honeymoon at the Bahamas and yet an extended one at the yacht, but the celebrations do not end year for the celebrity couple- Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra.
A grand reception was hosted at the House of Commons in London for the couple by a star struck British MP Kieth Vaz. “We are celebrating our wedding and the honeymoon just continues. I am very happy,” an elated Shilpa said adding that looking at the kind of enjoyment they are having, she should have gotten “married earlier”.
Speaking from London, Shilpa said, “I don’t know why I didn’t get married earlier! Marriage is wonderful when the man whom you marry is good, and mine is wonderful! Touch wood, I’m loving every minute of the marriage.”
Shilpa had informed about this reception much earlier saying, “The House of Commons reception is being thrown for Raj and me by British MP Keith Vaz who’s a dear friend of ours.”
Shilpa also added that she is eager to get back to Mumbai on Jan 8. “I’m missing Mumbai and can’t wait to get back.”

More from Dabboo Ratnani 2010 calendar
Last year, ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani had shot with 48 stars celebrating the completion of a decade of his calendar. This year he is back with usual count of 24 stars, but in black and white shades. Besides some of his old favorites, there are quite a few new names added to the list.
Talking about the calendar to NDTV.com, Dabboo says, “All the stars are comfortable with whatever I decide. They never question me, because we have faith in each other. So whenever I discuss a concept with them, they are happy to go along. I usually share three or four different ideas with the actor. If they are not convinced, we work on it. It is important to be confident about each other; only when the model is able to relate to the picture will he or she be able to give 100 per cent to it.
I have been doing the calendar for many years now. It makes me push myself to the next level. Way back in 2000 when I first shot the calendar, I gave away just a few to my close friends and people I worked with. But the response was so encouraging that I felt it was something I had to do on a regular basis. Every year the calendar pushes me to outdo my last year’s work. This also helps me evolve as a photographer. All through the year I am shooting for agencies, magazines and movies but the calendar is my creative outlet.
Our space had given you the pics of Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan from the calendar. Now, we bring you some new pics of Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Vidya Balan and what Dabboo has to say for each of them.
Ratnani is all praise for Katrina: “She is very attractive and photographs really well. She puts in a lot of effort for every picture she does. She will keep on giving the shot till it is completely done. Katrina will go to any extent to make the pic look stunning.”
He talks about Priyanka Chopra saying, “She is extremely photogenic. She gives her best in ever photoshoot and loves being in front of the camera. We have been working together since Priyanka’s modelling days and the chemistry we share is simply brilliant.”
Ratnani, who makes Vidya Balan too shed her inhibitions, says about the lady, “This is one of the hottest pictures of Vidya ever. I think she is always open to experiment. She trusts me completely and because of this trust she is very comfortable in my working environment.”

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 Jalaile in Omkara.
It has been a long time since we saw, Malaika spicing up the screens and we eagerly await this number, coz Malaika with Salman, is something which we don’t get to see in an ordinary course.

Celina Jaitley takes another step to support transgender section
Celina Jaitley’s love and support for gays is quite well-known by now. Now, the actress has taken yet another step in expressing her support for the lesbians. Now, she has decided to hold a pan-India transgender talent contest named V-care Indian Super Queen along with her transgender friend Laxmi Narayan Tripathi. Celina announced this contest recently at a press conference. The final round will take place in Delhi on February 21st and Celina has offered Rs 50,000 to the winner from her side.
Celina went so emotional at the press conference that she even said, “I wish I had taken part in this contest instead of Miss India.” Guys, don’t you think that Celina’s love for the
Indian Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) section is going just a bit too far??

Vidya Balan styles up for ‘Verve’ and ‘The Man’
Vidya Balan has a string of movies to her credit- Parineeta, Munnabhai, Salaam-e-ishq, Guru, Eklavya, Heyy Babyy, Halla Bol, Bhool Bhulaiya, Kismet Konnection and most recently Paa. All these movies have given her critical acclaim for her acting talents, but nothing could give the sensuous tag to her the way the most recent ‘Ishqiya’ has given her.
She had been trapped being called as “Behenji” type actress who was constantly being criticized for her dressing style, but with ‘Ishqiya’ she has sent the message through that “she can be seductress too” signaling that she is ready to fit in current trend.
February sees her on the cover story of ‘Verve’ and ‘The Man’. For the latter, she was styled by Vikram Phadnis and her makeup was done by Shreyas Mhatre.
Here is an excerpt from her interview with ‘The Man’:
“I am a good listener but I rarely give advice. When the good times are between two people, the problems too should remain between them. A relationship is never perfect; you have to work at it. You can’t be running in opposite directions at the first sign of dissent.
There is no perfect person you can connect with at all levels. A guy can’t be a looker, intelligent, sensitive, the guy that your friends and family like, a guy who likes the things you like and all that. Sometimes, if he is all that and he is available he may not have a sense of humour. May be he seems perfect on the face of it, but when you get to know him, the problems start. No two human beings are a perfect fit. That’s the joy and beauty of being in a relationship.
When the dressing debacle happened two years ago, I was bothered by it. Until then I’d only been heaped with praises and then suddenly, the criticism came in truckloads. I didn’t know how to deal with it. Then I looked at it objectively — they did have reason to criticise me. Most of it was exaggerated. I am clearly not a fashionista.
As an actor people expect me to look my best all the time. I didn’t realise that people were actually happy seeing me the way I am. It was not just about clothes — I was going through a period of confusion where I was giving a certain vibe. I was unsure, not happy with the way I was looking and trying to be someone I am not.”
