Katrina Kaif unhappy with her dinner


Well, don’t look at her size (we mean, her ‘size zero plus something’ is awesome), if you were to see what a foodie this gal is you’ll be left wondering how she got to that envious sexy size.

Recently we bumped into Katrina Kaif at a suburban restaurant, and she didn’t seem very pleased with the dinner spread, which was apparently quite exorbitant too. “I wonder why the meal was so expensive, it wasn’t all that good. At the end of it they gave me a rose, I guess that’s what made the dinner so expensive, huh?” said Katz, breaking into peals of laughter. Yeah, we think it’s quite a big price to pay only to be a rose queen. Hai na?

British beauties invade Bollywood


More British beauties are eyeing a career in Bollywood than ever before. Some of them have already lapped plum roles with the superstars of the Hindi film industry.
Salman Khan is already working with former Miss UK-Universe Lisa Lazarus in producer Vijay Galani’s film Veer while Saif Ali Khan is said to be introducing Brit beauty Florence Brudenell Bruce in his home production Love Aaj Kal .

Increasing popularity of Indian films following the success of Slumdog Millionaire and other Hollywood movies based on Indian stories has been inspiring young British actresses to opt for Bollywood careers.


Recession in the UK film industry and increasing demand for 'white performers' in Bollywood has spurred an estimated 1,000 British actors and dancers to move to Mumbai in the past three years, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported on Saturday.

After the success of 'Slumdog Millionaire', Indian film industry has become more popular among the young aspirants who are facing tough competitions at home, the report said.

While 1,000 actresses come for audition for one job in London, in Mumbai there are just a handful of competitors.

British actresses can earn upto 1,000 pounds a day in Mumbai and say opportunities are plentiful - a welcome, contrast to struggling for auditions and waiting at tables to survive in London, it said.

Twenty-four-year-old Hazel from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, who made a mark in Bollywood in the last five years, said she started her career as an extra artist.

"I first did advertisements for Ponds, Nokia and Samsung and then got my first proper role in a film in 'MP3: Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar' two years ago," she said, adding that she gets 2,000 pounds a night for doing stage shows.

Shahrukh Khan loses to SRK


In times of recession, Eros International is hedging its bets on a money making director — Farah Khan, rather than bank on Anubhav Sinha.

Farah’s successful track record has put the brakes on Anubhav’s Ra 1 temporarily. She will begin shooting her film Happy New Year ahead of schedule, while Ra 1 has been pushed from September to next year.

A few days ago, we told you how Farah Khan had to rush with the script of the first half of Happy New Year to San Francisco where Shah Rukh is shooting currently. It was a known fact that Farah was supposed to start her film only early next year. We hear, Eros International insisted that Farah’s film should start this year, by the end of November.

Ra 1 is being presented by Eros International and produced by Red Chillies. It was slated to go on the floors before Farah’s film, “That’s true,” says the source, “But when Eros studied the project Ra 1, they felt that this film may not derive sufficient returns in today’s economy. They felt that it would be better if the commercial director Farah Khan put her project on the floors first. They wanted to back that first and wait for things to improve on the economy front. They will go with Ra 1 but only at a later date.”

Mumbai Mirror had also reported on June 27 that Shah Rukh has been advised not to indulge in heavy-duty action. This, combined with Farah’s track record, has come in the way of Anubhav Sinha’s film.

Despite repeated calls and text messages, Eros International CEO Sunil Lulla remained unavailable for comment.

Happy New Year stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The remaining cast is yet to be finalised. Farah also has to complete the script of the second half of the film.

Desi Girl Kangna Pines for kids!



Kangna Ranaut, who is currently shooting in Switzerland, is homesick. The place reminds her of her hometown, Manali.

Instead of admiring the beautiful locations, she is also experiencing some rather strong maternal feelings. The actress’ latest message on the social networking website Facebook reveals that she desperately wants to have a bunch of children. And it doesn’t stop at that, she wants several grandchildren too.

Kangna’s status message reads: ‘I’m in Switzerland and this place reminds me of Manali and my family. I can’t wait to have kids and grandkids.’

Kangna said, “This place looks so much like Manali. My family is waiting for me in Mumbai and here I am, in Switzerland.”

Commenting on her intriguing status message, Kangna laughed and said, “All I can see here are old couples spending time with their children and grandchildren. Be it mountain climbing, sitting in cafeterias, or walking on the streets, the tots are with their grandparents. It makes me long for grandchildren.”

Kangna is also missing hot pakoras and chai, but she has no choice but to make do with fish fingers while she is there.

Jackson Mother wins Temporary Control of Estate


Michael Jackson's mother Katherine on Monday won temporary guardianship of the late singer's children and control of his estate as a legal battle over his kids, money and belongings began to take shape.

Katherine Jackson won the first round in what could become a protracted fight over an estate estimated to be valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Attorney L. Londell McMillan, who said he was Katherine Jackson's legal counsel, issued a statement late on Monday saying the family was pleased with the judge's rulings. It is unclear if Jackson drew up a will before he died.

Questions about the singer's health prior to his death resurfaced Monday when Celebrity Website TMZ.com reported that Los Angeles County coroner officials returned to Jackson's rented home looking for more medication.

Four days after the singer's death from cardiac arrest, his father, Joe Jackson said the family was awaiting results of a second, private autopsy, and he expected to get details "real soon." He said funeral arrangements had not been made.

"We don't have a timeframe for that (the funeral) because I want to see how this autopsy is coming out," Jackson said after a family meeting at his home in suburban Los Angeles.

Two autopsies have been carried out on Jackson's body, one by the coroner's office and a second by a private pathologist. Speculation about what caused Jackson's heart to stop has centered on his prescription drug use, but toxicology tests are expected to take several more weeks.

The pop star died on Thursday at his rented Los Angeles home, days before kicking off a string of concerts in London that were designed to revive a career grounded by his 2005 trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.

On Monday, promoters AEG Live released pictures from a dress rehearsal two days before Jackson's death. Jackson looks thin, but much like his typical singing and dancing self. AEG Live declined to comment on reports it had video footage of the rehearsals that could be released on DVD.

Meanwhile, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Monday approved the appointment of Katherine Jackson as temporary guardian of Prince Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7, pending a hearing next week.

Katherine Jackson was also named "special administrator" of her son's estate until a July 6 hearing, but the court order stipulated that she was not to take possession of money or property, except as permitted by the court.

In her court filing, Katherine Jackson said she was seeking control of funds "for the exclusive use of the decedent's children" and was concerned about bank accounts controlled by unnamed "third parties."

Jackson was reported to be as much as $500 million in debt when he died, but his estate has been estimated at $1 billion or more and is likely to rise following his death. Court papers list the value of the estate as "unknown."

His two eldest children were from his marriage to Debbie Rowe and the third is from an unidentified surrogate mother. In court papers, Katherine Jackson said the children had "no relationship with their biological mother," and it was unclear whether Rowe would also seek custody of the kids.

"Whoever has ultimate custody of these children, who are probably going to be the beneficiaries of his estate, will get control of his money to care for the children. So to that extent, whoever the permanent guardian will be will have tremendous sums of money to take care of the children," entertainment attorney Jerry Reisman told reporters.

Jackson's court filing indicated the "Thriller" singer died without a will, but media reports said a former Jackson lawyer, John Branca, possessed a will signed by the pop star. Branca did not return calls on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles coroner's office dismissed as inaccurate a Monday report in Britain's Sun newspaper that said Jackson was almost bald, emaciated and that his hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds when he died.

Assistant chief coroner Ed Winter said the details did not come from the private or county autopsies. "I don't know where that information came from, or who that information came from. It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false," he said.

Dilip Kumar admitted in ICU


MUMBAI: Bollywood's most regarded, veteran actor Dilip Kumar, as per the latest reports, has been admitted to ICU at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital in suburban Bandra, after having diagnosed to be suffering from malaria.

The 87-year-old actor who was suffering from high fever since Saturday was immediately admitted by the family to facilitate proper investigation.

Now the actor's condition is much stable & better and would hopefully be discharged in a couple of days.

Jacko Didn't father Prince, Paris: Ex-wife


Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe has revealed that the late King of Pop is not the actual father of Prince and Paris.

Rowe made headlines 13 years ago when Jackson had announced that she would be the mother of his first child, Prince, now 12.

However, Rowe has now revealed that Jackson is not the real father, and that she has conceived both kids through artificial insemination, with sperms from an anonymous donor.

“It's just like I impregnate my mares for breeding. It was very technical,” News.com.au quoted her as having told the News of the World.

"Just like I stick the sperm up my horse, this is what they did to me. I was his thoroughbred," she added.

However, it was due to complications during the birth of Paris that left Rowe unable to bear any more children.

She said that it was at that stage that Jackson ended their relationship
, and paid her nine million dollars over nine years in exchange for custody of the children.

"I got paid for it, and I've moved on. I know I will never see my children again," she added.

Rowe and Jacko got married at the Sheraton Hotel in Sydney in November 1996 while the former was pregnant with Prince, but she said the two of them never had sex during their time together.

Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead


Billy Mays, world-renowned politician, artist, baseball player, TV spokesman, and failed World Champion hot dog sucker, died yesterday when, while filming his autobiographical film "Roseanne Goes Bowling", his head exploded. He was 85.

The cause of death is not known as of now, but many witnesses believe they saw Mays go into his famous "Trance" (the one that brought OxiClean millions of dollars in revenue) while arguing with co-star Roseanne.

"I saw him, like, shouting at Roseanne," claims Brandon, a self-proclaimed "surfer dude" and member of the crew. "He was going, like, 'Billy Mays here for kicking your butt! It's the most powerful product for use here today in beating the **** out of you, Roseanne! It removes dissidents! Crapped On! F**ked On! Best of all, WATCH THIS--' and then, like, BOOM! His head just, like, exploded! And I was, like, 'Whoa!' And Roseanne was, like, 'Whoa!' But Mr. Mays was, like, dead."

It is assumed by medical examiners that Mays suffered from a serious onslaught of SEHS (Sudden Exploded Head Syndrome), brought on by a case of sudden, self-centered awesomeness, possibly from proving a fat cow wrong.

The death comes as a shock of happiness to his many enemies, including Oscar Wilde. Says Wilde: "He was the life of the party that nobody really wanted to go to."

The Rev. Li'l John also prepared a statement, read by his representative Black Jesus on the set of his new film "Li'l John in Love". It reads, in part: "YEAH! WHAT?...OKAY!"

Born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1934, most of Mays' young life is unknown now since Atlanta burned down after the infamous Greiger National Volcano eruption of 1980. At the age of 19, he decided to run for public office, becoming the Mayor of Atlanta in a landslide victory. However, local farmers forced a Recall Election and Mays ended up losing to Emmanuel Lewis in a landslide 6 to 3 vote.

While at the New York International Art Museum, he became famous for his antics. Most famously he becoming famous for being the world's fattest starving artist, bulking up in size since the beginning of his career. No one is still quite sure how this was accomplished but rumors started speculating that he was using illegal steroids. It was never quite cleared up, but many believe that Ted Turner thought Billy Mays was a inside job from the Mafia to destroy the New York International Art Museum. But, let's remember, kids, Ted Turner isn't right in the head and never will be.

When the whole debacle was settled, it seemed Billy Mays would never be famous again. But, then, Oxiclean discovered that Billy Mays had the "Trance". This made everyone do whatever he said. OxiClean decided to sign him to a 10-year, $4,000,000,000 contract. The OxiClean corporation made trillions of dollars off of Mays; hence, the movie deal.
