Hot Bollywood Actress Kareena Kapoor To Expose Again
March 31, 2009
She wore the lovely fluorescent bikini in Tashan, and it’s time for Kareena Kapoor to show-off her body antics yet again in Kambakkht Ishq.
Only this time she’ll be donned in a sexy black swimsuit. When we asked her dietician, Rujuta, if Bebo starves herself for a flat tummy during bikini shoots, she told us, “Never! In fact she is pretty stuffed all the time.
Also, I believe that one should be bikini-fit 24 x 7. And that’s what Bebo is.” So, Kareena is going to indulge in some ‘black magic’ this time round, and get the men weak in their knees all over again!
Sylvester Stallone in Bollywood
March 31, 2009
Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood’s Rocky and Rambo rolled into one, bursts into Bollywood with Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakth Ishq this year… and typical of the macho American actor, he’s playing a tough man who comes to the rescue of our Kareena Kapoor in a Hindi filmi fight scene.
Feast your eyes. Stallone, at 60, is still in great shape, and both the Bollywood lead actors of the film, Kareena who plays a supermodel and Akshay Kumar who is a stuntman, have heaped praise on him for his incredible body, his professionalism on the Hollywood sets of Kambakth Ishq, and his amiability. “He drove over to the studio himself, without bodyguard, valet, make-up person or anybody… and he came carrying his food basket and the papers… very cool and extremely charming,” said Kareena who shot a fight scene with Stallone. “As for that body… rock solid even at 60, and to die for!” Akshay added, “I can’t believe I’ve worked with my childhood legend. Not only is he huge successfully… but his shoulders are like twice the size of mine. What a guy… these are minutes with him I know I’ll never forget.”
The stunts for the film have been choreographed by Hollywood’s famous action director Spiro Razatos who earlier did films like Bad Boys 2, Gothika, Vantage Point, Death Race, 3000 Miles to Graceland and Tuff Turf. Apparently, Stallone shot the action scenes himself and did not consider a double. Talking to BT, Stallone when asked whether he enjoyed the experience of working for Bollywood, drawled, “Well, of course… Sajid’s film deals with a subject that I like, which is about giving spirituality a physical manifestation of love, because at the end that’s really what counts — there have been many action films where people are just beating each other up… and you go, ‘Who cares!’ But when it’s really about the soul, I’m interested! That’s what this film is about.”
Saif wants Hollywood Action Director
March 30, 2009
We hear, Saif Ali Khan has been watching a lot of Hollywod action flicks these days. The actor even got ladylove, Kareena Kapoor to watch The International recently.
Interestingly, Sriram Raghavan who’ll be directing Saif ’s Agent Vinod also accompanied the duo for the movie. Apparently, Saif wanted to check out the action director’s work in the Hollywood motion pic as he is looking to hire a foreign action director for his Agent Vinod! Desi Saifoo is planning something ‘international’, eh? Not bad, not bad!
Kim Kardashian not happy with Photos Exposed
March 29, 2009
Reality TV pin-up Kim Kardashian has defended her curvy figure once again, after a website accidentally posted a picture of her sporting cellulite. A snap of the star was uploaded onto a magazine’s website on March 26 before it had been airbrushed and retouched. It was quickly removed and replaced with a shot of Kardashian looking slimmer and with smoother skin, but not before eagle-eyed bloggers had grabbed the unauthorised photo and posted it elsewhere on the internet. But the 28-year-old insists she isn’t embarrassed about the mishap.
Kardashian writes on her own blog, “So what I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn’t!? How many people do you think are photoshopped? It happens all the time. I’m proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I am on the cover of a magazine doesn’t mean I’m perfect.” But Kardashian admits she will be spending more time working out to avoid any more awkward exposes. “This all motivates me to stay in the gym because my goal this year has been to get in better shape and tone up! Hard work pays off,” she says.
Bollywood Barbie Dolls Steal The Show
March 29, 2009
I made myself comfortable as I watched the Barbie Doll make her debut on Indian ramp. Waluscha opened the show as the iconic ‘Barbie doll out of the box’ with layers of net, lace, frills and a tiara. Initially the ‘show shopper’ was slotted for Aishwarya with her dazzling Barbie doll looks; however, Katrina Kaif too made for a pretty picture, adorned in, I would imagine, an Indian version of a Barbie ensemble in layers of tie and dye and brocade put together by Niskha Lulla. In between, some racy black and gold was seen on the Barbie walk which might have made her shriek in fright. The ‘doll’ that stole the show was Waluscha and Mark’s little daughter Chanel who undoubtedly was the walking talking Barbie!
The other moment I caught was when three little girls carrying model Monidutta’s train in the Archana Kochar’s show, stopped and froze on the ramp mesmerized by the cameras and lights leaving Moni to deal with the pause. Beware little ones, these are dangerous and addictive lights!
The change in venue to the Grand Hyatt was a well thought out one. More space and the buzz remains intact in one venue! Lot of plans were being made between shows to chill at the various restaurants, bars and rooms. Quite the right scenario for the extra curricular activities! Naomi arrived some time in the afternoon. I immediately heard of it from Mozez who is going to be ‘hanging out’ with her for these two days. “She loves India and wants to keep coming back. She is totally dedicated to the cause of ‘Fashion for Relief ’. I was truly impressed with her level of dedication,” gushed Mozez. I bumped into the suave Rohit Roy, her personal escort/ bodyguard, who I hear is impeccable in his work with his security team. Naomi wanted a little bazaar setup in her room so she could do some Indian retail therapy. I hear she absolutely loves the saree. “She is so chilled out!” was the unanimous opinion about this famous supermodel.
Sabyasachi experimented with new methods of how to revive the ensembles of the past. The spotlight was on the ‘chottu saree’ and ‘khadi tee’. Sabya’s tireless attemps to revive the forgotton prints like block printing were seen combined with proactive net. Quite the self-taught designer, what he touches has the stylish stamp to it.
Interesting party spot, I thought with IMG and Lakme choosing the lobby of the shopping mall as the welcome party for Naomi. The blue lighting made everybody appear ‘a little more chic’. The supermodel entered in the white Manish Malhotra saree. She has kept an Abu Sandeep and a Tarun for this evening for the press conference and the party after the ‘Mai Mumbai’ show. Fern Mallis, a friend and an important vertebra in the backbone of LFW, too arrived a few moments earlier. I took a pause, looked around and thought, “Yes, this is going to be a good fashion week!”
Prarthana Shah Steps Out of Knights & Angels
March 28, 2009
With Knights and Angels reaching its semi-final stage this week, the competition only gets tougher and the girls are just one hurdle away to becoming SRK’s angels.
The celebrity guest this week is none other than the charming Deepika Padukone, who hails from a sports background itself. She will be seen cheering the girls and giving them moral support and advice. But wait… we have something even more juicier for you.
A little birdie tells us that SRK’s team was in for a bouncer this week when one of the semifinalists decided to back out. Yes! You read right. Prarthana Shah, a Mumbai participant walked out of the show, due to family pressures. Apparently her family was fine with her participating in a reality show but didn’t want her to be bound by any contract as they had other plans for her. Well, as they say someone’s loss is someone else’s gain. Delhi girl, Suhani Sharma got lucky with Prarthana opting out and she now gets to compete in the semi finals. We all know that Dada takes his job quite seriously. And with SRK giving him the responsibility to select the angels to support his team and with Knights and Angels reaching the semi-finals this week, Dada decided to take the level of competition a notch higher.
After all just having a pretty face and dancing skills ain’t a prerequisite right? So Sourav decided that he would test the cricketing knowledge of these young girls to see if they were aware of the basic rules of the game. To his dismay, the girls’ knowledge was average. He was firm with the girls and told them to buck up as they have to be aware of what’s happening on the field in order to cheer the team. Catch this exciting episode of Knights & Angels tonight at 10 pm on NDTV Imagine.
Bipasha basu wants to become a director
March 28, 2009
Nine years only in Bollywood, and Bipasha Basu would like to think she understands the technical aspects of cinema well enough to direct a film. Either that, or she doesn’t want all her experience to go to, er, waist by playing only the floor-burning sizzler forever.
The bombshell admits she’s got direction on her mind, and it’s not for a too distant future. “I’ve learned on the job. I now understand script, character, choreography, camera angles. So I guess I do see myself directing a film,” revealed Bips, adding confidently, “I know I’ll be fantastic with things from behind the camera.”
The direction chaska began with her own interest and fascination in the way she looks! Styling has always been crucial for Bipasha. “Nowadays I take more interest in the way I look. I’ve become conscious of what suits me. I won’t do anything that I don’t follow or don’t feel comfortable in.
Fortunately we have such capable choreographers. They know I’m not a professional dancer. So they give me movements that are fun and more me. I understand all that now,” she said.
