Bollywood beauty queen - Katrina Kaif: The case of the Coffee Cuppa!

4:15 AM aboh

Actress Katrina Kaif may be quite a shy person in everyday life, with very few friends in the film industry to call her own.

But, she is one lucky girl when it comes to being invited for a special coffee cuppa, with none other than the yahoo star of yester years, Shammi Kapoor. After having invited Deepika Padukone for a hot cuppa.

The veteran star has now invited Katrina Kaif for the evening cup of Coffee! Reportedly, initially when such reports were out.

And Katrina was quizzed about it, she pointedly avoided answering, but now the actress has acknowledged the fact that yes.

In deed, she had been invited for the special coffee with Shammi uncle. After news about Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif started doing the rounds.

It was the grapevine that was working full time, in coming up with tales of the two bonding real well in real life too.

But, both the stars have been denying such reports and Katrina went to the extent to say that it was.

Salman Khan who has been her guiding light through out.Well, now we guess its Shammiji’s turn to know the truth, and what better way than to know it at the coffee table?

'Housefull will be the biggest hit of 2010'

3:58 AM aboh

Three years after the hugely successful Heyy Babyy, director Sajid Khan returns with another comedy, Housefull. Joining Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh (who also starred in Sajid's debut film) in Sajid's new caper are Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal, Jiah Khan Boman Irani, Randhir Kapoor and Chunkey Pandey. Sajid is very confident Housefull will screen to full houses. He tells Patcy N why. Excerpts: How did you get the idea of Housefull?

While we were celebrating the success of Heyy Babby and deciding what our next film should be, Milap Javeri --my screenplay writer on Heyy Babyy -- shared something that had happened to him. On the last day of college, he proposed to his girlfriend with a ring. She not only returned it; she also broke up with him before driving off on another boy's bike.

Milap was in love with her for two years. His heart broke when she rejected him. He started crying. The ring fell from his hand, he slipped on the ring and fell himself. His pant tore and a dog bit him. All this happened to him in the space of just five minutes.

I started laughing; I could easily imagine Akshay enacting such a scene. Milap said, 'Kaminey mere saath itni badi tragedy hui hai aur tu has raha hai (You rascal, such a big tragedy happened in my life and you are laughing)'. But I thought the whole incident was very funny; in real life, you sometimes find humour in pathos. It was a sorrowful event -- what happened with him was wrong but it was funny.

From that incident, we started developing the characters and a story -- what if Akshay is the world's biggest panvati (person plagued with ill-luck) and nothing in his life is ever good. Though he is a good man, everything bad happens to him. It took us 18-20 months to write the story and screenplay. Your first film Heyy Babyy was inspired from Three Men And A Baby and Rob-B-Hood

[Sarcastically] Have you seen Three Men and a Baby? What happened in that movie? Main chor hoon. Maine zindagi bhar sirf choriyaan ki hai (I'm a thief. All my life I have done nothing but steal). I have no original thought. I only plagiarise. I rob all the stories from world cinema. I rob stories and make films.

Whatever I am today is because I have robbed from others and made my name. Heyy Babby, the whole movie, was a copy. In fact, Housefull is also lifted from 50 movies -- that is what you are trying to say and this is what you wanted to hear, right [laughs]? [Sarcastically] Rediff par dekhiya aaj Sajid Khan ka khulasa. Yeh openly admit kar rahe ki inhone chori ki hai (Sajid Khan exposed on rediff. He openly admits he has plagiarised). This is what you wanted to hear, right?

I give an open challenge to anyone, anywhere in the world. Take the DVDs of Heyy Babyy and Three Men and a Baby and Rob-B-Hood -- which I have not seen till date because I am not a Jackie Chan fan, I stopped being his fan since the 80s because his cinema kept on going down and compare them.

Show me even one scene that is copied ditto -- like Mahesh Bhattsaab did in his films and Sanjay Gupta did in his movies -- shot-by-shot. If you show me even one scene, I will never make a film again. The scene diaper scene in Rob-B-Hood

There is a diaper scene in Three Men and a Baby? No in Rob-B-Hood, I said... I have not seen Rob-B-Hood till date. In which year was Rob-B-Hood released? Rob-B-Hood was released in October or November 2007 and, even if we think it was June, Heyy Babby released on August 24, 2007.

My whole making of the film is documented. I shot the diaper scene in February 2007 so did I enter Jackie Chan's brain in Hong Kong and copy the scene (Bo Bui Gai Wak, also known as Rob-B-Hood, released on September 28, 2006).

I want to ask you a question. Which is the greatest Hindi film ever made? Sholay, Mughal-E-Azam Sholay. Right. Have you seen Magnificent Seven? Have you seen Seven Samurai? Have you seen Once Upon A time In The West?

Even if we think that one of your favourite film is Munnabhai MBBS, have you see Patch Adams [laughs]? Let me tell you a truth. We grew up on cinema. That doesn't mean you copy the thoughts in your head. The English that you speak has been taught to you by somebody in school. Does that mean you are copying that person? No, right?

I have not seen Rob-B-Hood till date. Even if I have, I am not stupid. My name is Sajid Khan. Main doosre logo ka bhanda fodta hoon television par (I reveal other people's secrets on television). Am I so stupid that I will copy a scene from some other film? I made television programmes for four years and showed how others copied. What is lacking today in most people is what is taking our nation down -- common sense.

2:16 AM aboh

Reflecting on ‘Raajneeti’s experience the beautiful lass of Bollywood.

Katrina Kaif mentioned that Salman Khan always stood by her side to inspire her for the role.

Beaming with happiness Katrina added, "Apart from guiding me, Salman had confidence in me.

He is not the person to say that because he is friendly with you.”
Salman’s feelings are genuine.

And that makes you feel good about him, Katrina with a loving air added, “He will say it genuinely.

Quite sure about her mentor-turned-boyfriend Salman to think and do.

Always for her welfare Katrina praised his effort in helping her to peak up her career.

Apart from Salman there is someone on her lip that she cannot forget in her entire career.

As they were the main backbone behind her success in her career, Katrina revealed, "There are too many people whom I can call my godfather. I am grateful and indebted to them. Even Akshay Kumar took a risk in working with me initially. He did not know me at all. He was at crossroads of his career.” Anyways who can avoid attention and care for a beauty who captured the fantasy of men worldwide.

Aishwarya heading south for greener pasture!

2:14 AM aboh

We have had South Indian stars doing Bollywood films and vice versa.

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Bachchan is reportedly planning to do a couple of Kollywood films.

The stunner is no stranger to Tamil having debuted in Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar in 1997.

She was raw debutant then. Today, she is a sophisticated star and one of the Bollywood's top heroines.

The actress has come full circle since those times. After almost a decade, two of Aishwarya’s upcoming projects will have Tamil versions. Raavan and Robot will be dubbed in Tamil.

As Ravana and Endhiran respectively. These are her most ambitious Kollywood ventures so far, though.

She has done films like Jeans and Kandukondain Kandukondain.

In Raavan she teams up with hubby Abhishek and mentor Ratnam while in Robot, she will be seen with Rajinikanth.

A Tamil coach tutored her on the language and diction for Raavan. She wooed everyone by dubbing for her own lines.

She also got the tone and accent right! For Robot, it was Rajini himself who gave her lessons. A source revealed that Ash is a fast learner. Though she found it difficult at first, she was able to rattle off lengthy dialogues with ease!This has made the diva more confident about doing Tamil projects. She loves Tamil films as they are technically and script-wise very rich. When asked about it, she stated that she has to understand the dialogues before delivering them.

She dislikes mugging dialogues without knowing what she is saying. So she made special efforts to learn the nuances of Tamil before embarking on these projects. The results are there for everyone to see! Vannakam anyone?

Kat in politics

2:13 AM aboh

Katrina says her look in Raajneeti was modelled more on Priyanka Vadra than Sonia Gandhithat her role in Raajneeti is inspired.

By Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Katrina Kaif says that she watched election campaign videos of the UPA chairperson’s daughter.

Priyanka Vadra to get the right look and body language for the film. “Priyanka is a young, strong, independent and modern leader with the right blend of values.

My character is not based on her. I just watched her campaign videos to observe her body language and how she campaigns and interacts with the crowds,” Katrina explained.

The 25-year-old actress said that she is not playing Sonia Gandhi in Prakash Jha’s political thriller. She asserted she has not modelled her role on any politician.

“Prakashji himself chose the saris I wore as a politician. Every body knows I spent my early years in England and my mother is English.

And even Sonia Gandhi has a foreign connection. So the comparison was logical.” Katrina said she had her initial apprehensions before accepting the film.

As it did not have any song, dance and romance which she enjoys a lot. “When I first heard the script during the making of New York, I made up my mind to refuse the film.

I felt this was not my kind of role. Why should I do serious films which I don’t enjoy? I had only heard about Prakash Jha’s reputation,” she said. “When I heard the narration from him during our meeting, I realised that this film has as much excitement as any other film I have done. I realised that I was being prejudiced towards Prakashji and did not like it,” Katrina recalled.

Speaking about the film, Katrina said raajneeti is a very popular subject. “Politics is not just about what’s happening in the government or the Lok Sabha...it’s about politics in life, families and relationships,” she added. The actress said the political side of her character comes in much later in the film. “My character refuses to accept that the person she loves does not reciprocate her feelings.

She has no self respect in love,” Katrina said. “In real life, all of us experience rejections, sometimes in hurtful ways. I was honest to myself while essaying the character Indu. I believe one has to connect with the character one is playing,” she explained.

Watch Twilight Saga: Eclipse Online Free?

5:46 AM aboh

I must admit I am a fan of the Twilight Saga film series. I have watched Twilight, New Moon and I will definitely watch The Twilight Saga Eclipse. I can't wait for it. Eclipse will be released on June 30, 2010. That's a bit far from now though. Yay, I wish I could watch it very soon. According to wikipedia:

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is an upcoming romantic-fantasy film scheduled for release on June 30, 2010.[4] It is based on Stephenie Meyer's Eclipse and will be the third installment of The Twilight Saga film series, following 2008's Twilight and 2009's New Moon. Summit Entertainment greenlit the film in February 2009.[4] Directed by David Slade, the film will star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively.[5] Melissa Rosenberg will be returning as screenwriter.[6] Bryce Dallas Howard will play Victoria, replacing Rachelle Lefevre who previously played her.[7] It will be the first Twilight film to be released in IMAX.[8]

Speaking of watching Twiligh Saga: Eclipse, I searched online for "Watch Twilight Saga: Eclipse free" ," Watch Twilight Saga Eclipse online free ", "Download Twilight Saga Eclipse free" and the results showed a number of unsafe websites to visit. As a matter of fact, to my surprise some websites are offering for free, downloads for this yet to be released movie. I dread if someone will click the download button, what kind of viruses, spywares and other malicious programs will they be downloading to their computers. While other sites offer the Twilight Saga Eclipse free streaming after you answer certain surveys, which I am inclined to believe to be nothing but scams and bullSh*t!

Just a piece of advice to everyone, if you see any link promising free Eclipse streaming or free Eclipse downloads be it in "rapidshare, megavideos, megaupload, torrent sites, hotfile, etc", don't click these links. No matter how desperate are you in your desire to watch Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie free online, just don't visit these links. It's for your own sake. The Eclipse movie will certainly be a hit and I believe many of the not so good guys will capitalize on this. So please be extra cautious.

How to watch Twilight Saga: Eclipse online free? I'm sorry that's not possible without violating Copyright. But you can always watch it in theaters as soon as it is released for public viewing.

Priyanka Chopra goofs up...

11:08 PM aboh

Uh-oh, the ever diplomatic Priyanka Chopra has put her dainty foot in her mouth perhaps for the first time.

In her politically correct life. But what to do, there are times when even the best slip up. And this seems to have happened to her recently.

The actress was in Srinagar a few weeks ago shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf. And all through her stay, Priyanka made the right noises.

And struck the right poses. From the first day of her shoot in Srinagar, the local press was given a dekho of her look in SKM.

And her presence was marked on a daily basis with a regular dose of information on how she loved Kashmir and how she would even consider being the ambassador for J&K, etc.

The authorities and locals were very happy with the interest shown by the Bollywood diva in the long-troubled state.

Especially now that J&K is limping back to normalcy and tourism is close to boombing once again. After all, Priyanka is one of the few “thinking actresses” we have. However, the honeymoon for the Kashmiris with PC ended when she landed in New Delhi airport after her stay and reportedly told.

An electronic channel that she had enjoyed her stay in Kashmir but was happy to be back to ‘civilisation’. Some very sensitive sorts made note of Priyanka’s choice of words and are mighty upset with the actress for saying this.

A source says, “Some locals and even some political heavyweights are annoyed with Bollywood actors who come to Kashmir, sing paens in honour of the state, and then on their return to their homes, become careless in describing their stay in Kashmir.

Strife ridden or otherwise, Srinagar is home for a whole load of people. One has to be very careful about what one says. The Kashmiri people are very sensitive about their home, just like any of us is.” Priyanka was unavailable for comment because she’s now in Coorg, doing a further two-month stint in the hillstation for the same film, and Coorg is notoriously poor for cell network reception. But the Coorgis have their antennae up...

John Abraham and Vidya Balan together again?

11:05 PM aboh

If film-maker Priyadarshan has his way, then soon you might get to see actors John Abraham and Vidya Balan sizzling on-screen once again. The duo was last seen together in the movie Salaam-E-Ishq in 2007. While its filming was in process, rumours of an affair between them started doing the rounds. This, in turn, apparently led to a lot of discord in John’s relationship with girlfriend Bipasha Basu. Post that, John and Vidya have never done a movie together.

However, now film-maker Priyadarshan is apparently playing peacemaker to break the ice between John and Vidya. He is trying to woo them for a movie.

A source says, “Priyadarshan has had meetings with Vidya and has informed her about the project. Looks like it will be another comedy caper. He also likes John’s acting ability and feels he has one of the best comic timings in the industry. So Priyadarshan is doing all he can to bring a truce between John and Vidya. Getting both John and Vidya on for a project is a mighty task as they don’t really work with each other anymore. But now that a few years have passed by since rumours of an affair between John and Vidya, and John and Bipasha’s relationship is very stable, the project may finally take off.”

Deepika Padukone to romance Ranbir Kapoor again

11:04 PM aboh

Deepika Padukone is one gutsy lass! The stunning beauty, who portrayed grace and elegance as she harboured heartbreak, is out to set an example of sorts for numerous warring filmy ex-lovers.

Believe it or not, but Dips has reportedly given her nod to romance her ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor onscreen again. So while most of Bollywood ex-lovers refuse to share the podium, Dips and Ranbir are out to do the unthinkable.

So what caused this magic? Well it’s director Anurag Basu’s flick ‘Khamoshi’. Ever since Katrina walked out of the film over the inclusion of Priyanka Chopra, Basu has been hunting for a second female lead. And after much thought Basu approached Deepika.

Confirming the news, a source said, “Anurag has approached Deepika. However, she still needs to take the final call. Ranbir plays the lead role and after their bitter break-up last year, they have not spoken to each other. However, when Deepika got the offer, she was not surprised and is looking at the film professionally. She doesn’t want her personal equations to come in the way. Deepika will now have a final meeting before taking a call.”

Katrina Kaif will be Madhubala in Kishore Kumar biopic

11:00 PM aboh

Katrina Kaif has reportedly been signed to play Madhubala in a Kishore Kumar biopic being helmed by Anurag Basu. Ranbir Kapoor will play the talented but temperamental singer and actor. UTV is producing the film having purchased the rights for it from Kishore's surviving wife Leena Chandavarkar. According to Mid Day, Katrina has been studying Madhubala in preparation for the role, watching her films such as Mughal e Azam, Chalti Ka Naam Gadi and Mahal.

The biopic is expected to feature the nostalgic song sequence Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si performed by Kishore and Madhubala in the film Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Kishore's first marriage to Ruma Guha Thakurta aka Ruma Ghosh lasted from 1950 to 1958.

He married Madhubala, a leading Bollywood actress of the time, in 1960, against many odds. His family was opposed to the marriage because Madhubala was a Muslim. Madhubala was also ill when Kishore proposed to her, and her father was keen to get her treated in London first. Kishore converted to Islam and took the name Karim Abdul for the marriage.

The two entered into a civil union but later had a Hindu marriage ceremony to mollify Kishore's family. Madhubala's illness was later diagnosed as a ventricular septal defect and she died of it in 1969. Kishore Kumar's third marriage was to Bollywood actress Yogeeta Bali in 1976 lasted two years. He was married to Leena Chandavarkar from 1980 until his death.

Smart Bro Internet Connection Problem Fixed!

8:32 PM aboh

What a relief! The Smart Bro Team came by the house today and fixed our internet connection. We've been experiencing unstable internet connection for over a month now, which resulted to serious consequences in terms of my online money making and social networking. Finally, we now have a steady internet. It's only been an hour since the connection was fixed so we are still observing.

According the Smart Bro Team, the "base" from which we used to derive our connection is experiencing technical problems. They transferred the position of the antenna and faced it to another "station base". The only problem with our present connection as of this time is the speed. The internet speed has been downgraded to only 390kbps from the original 500kbps. They say it's because of the "station base". I just hope in the next few days the internet speed will increase.

To those who are using Smart Bro and you are experiencing slow to no internet connectivity you can call SMART BRO hotline, toll free at "*1888", without quotes. Do have your SRN- Service Reference Number on hand as you will be required to give it. It is easier now to talk to a Smart Bro Customer Representative because the service is localized. By that I mean, when you call, you will be entertained by "Bisaya-speaking" representative or "Tagalog-speaking" representative depending on your location as determined by the origin of your call. :)

It's a first - Bipasha reduced designer's fee for print ad

12:45 AM aboh

Bipasha Basu has been in the news for walking out of two recent shows. And now, a print ad for a well-known jewllery brand (endorsed by many B-Town actresses) featuring Bips ran into.

A problem because of the over-inflated budget submitted by her designer for the costumes.Says a source, "Print ad budgets cost anything between Rs 5-7 lakh but the Bongshell's budget for.

The source continue "Bipasha also put her foot down and told the brand that she would stick to her designer and cancel the contract.

When it became clear th ebrand owner wouldn't change his mind, everyone tried to convince the actress to find a workable situation.

Finally, the designer's fee was drastically reduced and the ad was shot on Friday."However a source close to the Bengali bombshell adds, "It's not Bips but her endorsement agency that is responsible for inflating budgets of print shots or her walkouts from a few events."Bipasha's spokesperson says, "I am not aware about the cancellation.

They took three alternate dates and finally shot on May 23 for the same. Every artiste is entitled to give couple of photographer and stylist options.The clients are free to choose and lock accordingly. They had problems fitting in one of the photographers' budget so we had given them five choices...

The same was true for stylists. The stylist who worked on the shoot charged only Rs 50,000 as her fee. The clothes depending from whom you source it or buy it from, vary in budgets. Priyanjali happily budgeted the clothes within the quote given by the brand and apparently, the shoot results are awesome."

A source says, “Katrina couldn’t do two back-to-back projects.

With Anurag Basu and Ranbir Kapoor. So she picked the biopic on Kishore Kumar in which she will play Madhubala.”

While she was considering her option back then. Katrina had said, “If I do another film with Ranbir, I’d want it to be a full-fledged commercial love story.” And it can’t get any more mainstream and romantic than the Kishore Kumar-Madhubala saga.

In fact, the actress has already begun doing her homework for the role and watched Mughal-e-Azam, Mahal and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi.

While Katrina chose not to reply, Anurag says guardedly, “I think it’s a little early to talk about it. I still haven’t got the principal cast of my current project, Silence, in place. But yes, Katrina is someone I am very, very fond of...for her looks, talent and nature.

I am definitely working with her, if not in Silence, then in my next film.” One of the song sequences from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi that Anurag Basu’s film will be looking to recreate is the Kishore-Madhubala song Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si.

Fringe, Lace and Boots

8:08 AM aboh

I'm totally obsessing over Fringe! I pulled out my Vintage suede fringe jacket to wear over the lace dress (Ebay) but most of the time it ended up being too hot.. and no platforms today, I went with my All Saints boots! I still think when it comes to boots All Saints, Frye and Vintage are the best to go with!

Really lusting after the TopShop Lace leotards/bodies btw, to wear with cut-off jeans but I can't figure out what kind of bra or top to wear under it to make it kind of decent??!! hmmm.....
