Ayesha Takia Date With Farhan Azmi


News about Ayesha Takia and her restaurateur beau, Farhan Azmi’s, marriage has been doing the rounds for quite some time now.

Putting an end to all speculations, the couple has finally decided to get married by the end of this month.
This latest news will come as a surprise to many, as last year Ayesha and Farhan who were to get married on Christmas Eve had postponed their wedding due to the terror attacks in Mumbai on 26/11.

After the attacks, Farhan Azmi had said, “When Ayesha heard the news about the attacks, she broke down. Dad (Samajwadi Party leader, Abu Azmi) was in a hospital recuperating after an operation. He too was very upset, when he heard about the attacks. None of us are in the mood for any celebrations this year. Our mood is too grim and sombre. As of now, there can be no wedding celebrations. The wedding might now happen in mid-2009. And it will be a small and private affair.”

And now, a friend of the Takia family tells us that, “The wedding will take place in Mumbai. Ayesha is frantically running around shopping for her trousseau. The decision to get married by the end of February was taken only two days ago. Both Farhan and Ayesha are very happy as they are finally getting married. After marriage, Ayesha will complete Revathy’s film. That’s a woman oriented subject and Ayesha has already agreed to do the film. She is a professional actor and she won’t leave any filmmaker in the lurch.”

After marriage, Ayesha and Farhan will reportedly stay at Colaba, at the Azmi residence. Farhan and Ayesha remained unavailable for comment.

Aishwary’s Husband Acting Style is More Like His Mother’s


After spending eight years in the Hindi film industry, Big B’s loving son Abhishek Bachchan, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Thursday, said that the style of his acting is more like that of his mother, Jaya Bachchan.

In an interview, Junior Bachchan said, “Dad is an inspiration to the whole world. His creativity, dedication are legendary. He is a great source of inspiration. However, my acting style is more like my mother. I would like to believe that I have the best of both.”

Abhi, whose ‘Drona’ failed to set box office afire in 2008, has big hopes from his upcoming movie ‘Dilli 6’, which is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

Ash’s caring hubby considers himself lucky to have a chance to work with ace veteran Bollywood stars in ‘Dilli 6’ including Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor and Om Puri.

“The script was novel and had a great narrative but the clinching factor was the cast. When Rakeysh discussed with me the cast of the film, I just knew that I had to be a part of this film.” Abhishek said, “Where can an actor get the opportunity to stand in the same frame as all these great actors we had in this film. It was an awesome experience.”

The story of the movie is reportedly based on Mehra’s growing up years in Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi.

When media persons asked Abhi regarding his role in the film, Abhishek answered, “I am playing the character of Roshan Mehra who is born and brought up in New York.”

“Roshan has never been to India but the course of the film brings him to his ancestral home for the first time. The challenge of the character was to stick out and blend into the surroundings,” he added.

Also, Abhishek is working with Mani Ratnam for the third time in ‘Ravana’ where his co-star is his wife Aishwarya.

He also said that he really proud of his wife’s achievement who recently received ‘Padamshri Award’ for her contribution to Indian cinema.

“It is a great honour to receive. I am proud of Aishwarya. Truly well deserved. I feel very blessed to be a part of a family which has received this honour 5 times,” he said.

‘Nursing addict’ Salma Hayek suckled another woman’s baby


Washington : Mexican/American actress Salma Hayek has revealed that she breastfed the starving baby of another woman, who could not produce milk, during a trip to Sierra Leone.

According to Huffington Post website, Hayek had last year revealed that she was so addicted to breastfeeding her baby daughter Valentina, she felt "like an alcoholic".

She recently helped a desperate mum in a refugee camp during a UNICEF fact-finding trip, and revealed it on the Today show in America when host Kathie Lee Gifford asked her about it.

"You found a child that was starving to death, the mother had no milk - and you nursed that baby?"

Nodding her head, Hayek added: "It's about women sticking together and we really need to help the children in any way we can," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

And now the actress is fighting to promote breastfeeding in Africa - because it helps boost the immune systems of at-risk babies.

"It is the best thing you can do for your child, not only the bonding, that''''s how you build the immune system, so in a country like Africa imagine how important it is for the mothers to do that," she said.

"But there is the belief that if you are breastfeeding you cannot have a sexual life, so the husbands of these women are really encouraging them to stop and this is just a taboo," she added.

Drew Barrymore’s tongue piercing dilemma


Washington : Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore couldn't eat or drink popularly for two weeks after getting her tongue pierced.

"They do it and you''re like, ''Oh my God, why would I ever think twice about not doing this; this didn''t hurt at all,''" Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"And then the guy was like, ''What I didn''t tell you is that for, like, two weeks, it''s just going to be a little uncomfortable.

"I couldn''t eat, couldn''t drink for two weeks - great diet in a weird way," she added.

While the 33-year-old star loves her tongue bling, she fears it scares the guys away.

"I got it and then I''ve been single ever since... I did it for myself. I always wanted to get one," she added.

I’d like To Get My Surgery Done On V-day: Shah Rukh Khan


Shah Rukh Khan has grand plans for Valentine’s Day, but not with wife Gauri. On a recent visit to Delhi, the actor said that it might be the I usually don’t do anything on Valentine’s Day, so I’d like to get my surgery done then. It’s just that there’s so much work – I can’t afford to be lying flat on a hospital bed for a month. I do need this surgery, but once my movie Billu Barber is placed well, I’ll have more time,” he explains.

Video results for Shah Rukh Khan

It’s not only movies that are keeping SRK from getting that surgery done. There’s also IPL. “There’s some planning to be done. In fact, I had a meeting regarding that two days ago in Delhi. But I don’t think that recession is going to affect IPL. I don’t even think recession is the word for the situation India is in. I would call it a time for ‘correction of figures’.” A correction in the figure that he charges, too? “I don’t think I’ll have to make much modification. I’ve never overcharged or undercharged. In both the film industry and the IPL, I don’t think we should jump to conclusions,” Shah Rukh says. And what about Shilpa Shetty entering the IPL fray? “All the best to her. I’m sure she took this decision after great consideration. I’d like all the teams to win, but I’ll be backing my own, of course!” he smiles.

Of course, no session with SRK is complete without the man’s display of wit. To a female photographer, he said, “For you, darling, I can remove my jacket and even my shirt! However, I don’t have anything written across my chest.” Was that a dig at ‘good friend’ Aamir Khan? “I’m not taking a dig at him or anyone else. It was just a joke. He does it too. There are certain things that others say in public, though, and I don’t like it. So I guess I’ll meet him soon and have a talk with him,” he says.

What he has done, however, is make it to many star lists – the sexiest, the hottest, the most popular … His take on the lists is, “I don’t understand these lists. I am on so many of them. Who makes these lists? I am the list!” And is he playing Mogambo in the new Mr India? “Mogambo, me? Come on, I’m a handsome young guy,” he laughs.

Angelina Jolie Urges Thai Govt To Free Burmese Refugees


Washington: Angelina Jolie has asked the Thailand Government to free around 110,000 Burmese refugees who have been locked inside camps for up to 20 years in the country, and let them move around and seek higher education.

The 33-year-old Oscar nominee, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, made this request after a visit to Thailand’s Ban Mai Nai Soi refugee centre on Wednesday.

“I was saddened to meet a 21-year-old woman who was born in a refugee camp, who has never even been out of the camp and is now raising her own child in a camp,” People magazine quoted her as saying in a statement, released on Thursday.

Her appeal comes at a time where there has been an increase of migrants from Myanmar, amidst accusations of flagrant crimes against ethnic minorities levelled against the country’s military junta.

How to get Angelina Jolie Lips with Lipstick ...Jolie met orphans at a boarding school, and teenage girls who worried about a return to Myanmar, during her visit.

“I hope we can work with the Thai authorities to speed up the government admissions process and that you will not be forced to go back to Burma if danger remains,” she said.

"My source told me that the negative attention Fantasia received by the `New York Post' in December of 2007 for missing 50 shows was unwarranted because the
24-year-old star single-handedly `made a truck load of money for that show'," Murray said.

Barrino was forced to skip a number of performances due to a tumour on her vocal chords, which has now been fully removed.

Harbhajan and Mona Singh summoned by Chandigarh Court


Chandigarh : A local court has issued summons to Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh and television actress Mona Singh on Thursday on the accusation of deliberately hurting religious sentiments.

The complaint was filed in October 2008 by lawyer Arvind Thakur and members of local unit of Vishwa Hindu Parisad (VHP) under sections 298 (doing actions with a deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code.

The dispute started after the duo performed dance on a Hindi film song in the show- Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina aired on the channel Colors.

Last year, Harbhajan Singh had apologised the complainants to end the controversy. However, Thakur denied to accept Singh''s apology saying that Harbhajan was asked to submit a written apology in the court but he failed to do so and that''s why they didn''t withdraw the complaint against him.

Another civil suit demanding permanent restraint on both the celebrities and the channel Colors from showing, acting or directing any similar kind of a show is still pending in the court.

Asin Dazzles On Film Fare Cover


This month it is South Indian beauty Asin, who will dazzle all on the Filmfare cover and Ghajini’s lead lady is all excited to be on the front page of her favourite film magazine.

She is fresh off the rack with one Bollywood buster to her credit and the Southern siren Asin is already a reigning star. Now, after the success of her first film Ghajini, the audience will catch a glimpse of her on the new Filmfare cover.

She said, “Flimfare for me is very dear. I share a very good rapport. But for me the ‘Flimy Duniya’ is something that everybody looks up to. It is very different where the world is starry. I just wanted to do something different and I like to experiment.”

The Ghajini girl has been in the news ever since her Bollywood debut and now her upcoming movie ’London Dreams’ with Salman Khan is expected to follow up the success in a big way and rumour mills are abuzz about her fire hot chemistry with her co-star Salman Khan.

Asin said, “I think i have been lucky enough to share a great on-screen chemistry with all the heroes that I have worked with. In this one too the chemistry has worked out well. Not only between me and Salman but between me and Ajay too. I think everybody has to just wait for the film to release.”

Taling about her films after Dashavatharam, the sensous beauty from South has one more tri-lingual project on her hand starring veteran actor Kamal Hassan.

“We start rolling much later in the year. It is directed by Bharat Bhala and AR Rahman is doing the music. I think this is the 3rd- 4th movie I am doing with Rahman and I am very fortunate. I am looking forward to that project. Kamal sir is playing one of the charaters in the film. The protaginist is a Japanese actor called Tadanoku Asan,” said the South Indian beauty.

Comfortable on the Tollywood throne, Asin seems all set to rule our Hindi film industry as well.

Working in Pink Panther was a joy: Ashwarya Rai


Much has been written about Aishwarya Rai’s so-called minuscule role in Hollywood film “Pink Panther 2″. While the actress admits it is an out-and-out Steve Martin film, she maintains she signed it for an enriching experience and not for extra footage.
“It’s a bit silly and exhausting to even talk about the length of my role based on what’s seen in the trailers. Did anyone question my role in ‘Khakee’ when there was only one shot of me in the promo? Isn’t that a very myopic view of contemporary acting? In my very first film ‘Iruvar’, I thought I transcended this footage fetish,” Aishwarya told IANS.

Aishwarya, a former Miss World, doesn’t regret doing the film.

“I didn’t work in ‘Pink Panther 2′ because it was an international project. I got the script. I happily chose to be part of the film. They shot exactly what I was offered. I don’t need to work with stardust in my eyes.

“Of course, ‘Pink Panther’ is a Steve Martin vehicle. Is that something to question? All the rest of the wonderful cast including Jean Reno and Andy Garcia play supporting roles. I treasure the experience of working in ‘Pink Panther 2′.”

Aishwarya says footage is not a burning issue for her.

“The choices I’ve made in my career aren’t just about footage but an opportunity to work with actors, directors and technicians who enrich my life. Believe me working in ‘Pink Panther’ was a joy.

“It was a wonderful experience working with a stalwart like Steve Martin and the rest of the cast and crew. Why spoil it by questioning how much footage I have? So many Indian actors have worked in international ensemble casts.”

The actress attended the film’s premiere in New York Tuesday along with husband Abhishek Bachchan.

“They wanted me to be here for the film’s promotion from earlier on. But I couldn’t because of my prior commitments in India. We’ve a series of premieres lined up, which started in New York on Feb 3. From there it’s a crazy whirlwind trip that will take me to several countries and continents from Paris to Berlin to Moscow to Madrid.

“The final destination for my 15-day trip will take me to a screening at the Berlin film festival. Then I’m back and I go straight to resume Mani Ratnam’s film.”

It is a double celebration for Aishwarya in New York this week. First is the premiere of “Pink Panther 2″ that is followed by Abhishek’s birthday Thursday. The couple plans to celebrate his birthday in style.

“Abhishek is in New York with me. But he won’t be able to accompany me for my other premieres because he has to be in India for the promotion of ‘Delhi 6′,” said Aishwarya, who returns to India Feb 14.

Interestingly, Aishwarya was offered the lead opposite Will Smith in “Seven Pounds” which opens in Mumbai this week.

“Will Smith and I will work together for sure,” laughed Aishwarya. “There have been a number of offers. Dates just don’t work out. If he’s keen to work with me, so am I,” said the actress.

Miss Great Britain


London : Miss Great Britain Gemma Garrett has spilled the beans that disgraced bed-hopping comedian Russell Brand has been trying his luck with her for three years but in vain.

The 27-year-old, who is also the official face of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, revealed that the prankster used his charms, which sent the women falling onto his feet.

"I've known Russell for three years. Of course he's tried it on - I'd have been insulted if he hadn't! He's very good-looking and he's got all the charm," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

But Garrett insisted that she was yet to fall prey to him, and prefers to stay at bay because of his "popular" past.

She said: "I couldn't deal with all his past conquests. I just couldn't live with the knowledge of how many girls he's been with.

"I know there aren't many women who have managed it, but I've resisted him for three years! That's quite an achievement.

"Also body-wise he's not my type, though I will admit he's very good-looking and he's definitely got the charm.

"He's a great person to have as your friend, just not as your boyfriend.
