SRK, Kareena out of Meydan concert

Bollywood's King Khan has pulled out of the grand finale of Shoppiesta scheduled at Meydan later this month.

Shah Rukh Khan will not be performing at the 'We R. One', according to a '7Days' report.

Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal will also not participate.

According to the organisers the reason for the cancellations was because the stars were unavailable on the required dates.

This website had reported how Eid celebrations in Dubai this year promised to be a memorable one, with a bevy of international stars making their way to our shores.

The shoppiesta consumer fair was billed arguably as the largest party, with American rapper and actor Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent also on the cards.

Arab fans are to be wowed by Eid regular, Nancy Ajram.

Things will kick off with an Arabic night on August 31 featuring Ajram alongside Melheim Zein; the following evening will see Filipino pop group South Border.

On September 2, Iran's famous talent Googoosh will take to the stage, while Indian musicans Shankar Mahadevan and Hariharan will perform on September 3.

The event was to come to a grand finale the following night with the Bollywood brigade, Khan, Chopra and Kapoor, alongwith 50 Cent.

Another musical spectacle scheduled for Eid features cross border musicians, with Pakistan's Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who will croon alongside Shafqat Ali Khan. And adding to the glam quotient will be Indian singer, Richa Sharma of "Sajda" fame from "My Name is Khan".

Called Eid-E-Milan, the September 9 event, is being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre and has been organised by Cyclops Communication. Tickets start at Dh140 and go up to Dh1,400. Show starts at 9pm.

Lastly, also expected in town during those very days is the award winning Indian singer, Sonu Niigam, who is most certainly going to demand a full house. More details for this event have yet to emerge.

Shah Rukh's Dubai show cancelled


"Kareena Kapoor's filming schedule clashed with the Dubai date and Shah Rukh has refused to perform without her," a source told tabloid!?

Khan and Kapoor both star in superhero flick Ra.One, set for an October release. Organisers had earlier said that the Dubai event fit perfectly with the actor's global promotional tour schedule for the film. Actor Arjun Rampal, who is also in the film, has also dropped out.?

The stars were slotted for the grand finale show called 'We R.One'.?

Actors Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Malaika Arora Khan will take their place, organisers have announced. The rest of the events during the five-day festival featuring American rapper 50 Cent and a host of Arab, Iranian, Filipino and Indian artists, will go as planned.?

"It is a huge disappointment for us. As 'We R.One' is a complete show in itself with roles for each performer, the unavailability of even one artist would result in an incomplete experience for the fans. This is something which both, Shah Rukh Khan and Citron (the owner of the event), prefer to avoid at all costs," said Radhesh Menon, the project director of Shoppiesta.?

"We are confident of bringing the concert to Dubai post Shoppiesta. Our talks are progressing very positively and plans are afoot to organise a grand standalone show."?

Shoppiesta, which has been promoted as a consumer fair, will also feature shopping kiosks, adventure sports arcades and a host of other entertainment and lifestyle attractions at Meydan, according to organisers. Tickets to the fair and the concerts will be sold separately from August 15.?


Spotted: Blender's Pride Fashion Tour



The Blender's Pride Fashion event continued on in the city. Taj Land's End was the host for designers, Vikram Phadnis, Mandira Wirk, Reynu Tandon, and others.

See pics of Dia, the Arora sisters, and more after the jump!






Oh Em Gee! Dia Mirza looked absolutely f*cking gorgeous in this Vikram Phadnis corset lehenga. Wowza! Now THAT is a show stopper! 




They did her up nicely as well! Her dark red lips match the dupatta to a tee. Lovely.




Vidya Malvade was spotted at the Mandira Wirk show wearing a silk and chiffon fuchsia colored gown by the designer. She looked gorgeous!




Also at the Mandira Wirk show were the Arora sluts sisters. 




Dumb and Dumber's double impact was nothing short of sleaze on the runway. If you're gonna walk in a sexy show stopper kind of outfit, why bother covering up with a black lace bustier and pasties? Obviously they chose to wear these dresses to leave mouths hanging, but the lame cover-up underneath, made us shut our eyes instead. Pathetic attempt by Fuzz and Buzz.




And why not have your husband and Mom attend the event to watch just how sleazy you can make an already bad dress look on the runway? Every parent's dream, no? Arbaaz Khan, brought his Mother in-law, Joyce Arora to the event. 




Enjoying the fresh air and sunshine after holding himself up for no good reason a while, Madhur Bhandarkar was spotted at the Reynu Tandon show. 




Mugda Godse, walked for Reynu Tandon in a fashion experiment gone bad. Very very bad. 


From the previous day's festivities at the Blender's Pride Fashion Tour:




Raveena Tandon looked great as she walked for designer Ramona Narang. Loved the dress, minus the feathers!




Raveena looked great too! Hair and makeup done well. You can tell she didn't do her own since the raccoon eyes are gone and her hair is actually done right! ;-)




Wow look! It's the Joker from Batman: The Dark Knight...! Oh wait....nope, just Queenie Dhody. 




Isha Koppikar looked beautiful at the Ramona Narang show! She's been having that certain glow about her lately...and she's put on some...could she be?




Latest entrant into the Bollywood MILF competition, Maheep Kapoor. The gorgeous Mom of two is actually an Aussie. She was  an NRI from Perth, before she moved to the city.

Spotted: Swarovski Gem Fashions Event



Swarovski paid a tribute to Indian creativity and design, hosting a fashion show featuring their sparkles.

See pics of Shriya, Kajol, Celina and more, after the jump!






Shriya Saran looked lovely when she sashayed her way down. Gorgeous lehenga.




She rocked the big red bindi. Hair and make-up looked superb.




Celina Jaitley had fun on the catwalk in her ballerina inspired creation. 




The bustier top looked phenom, but the random sea life on the skirt with Olympic ring fringe, made us go WTF!?




Look, it's Tanuja! Wow, haven't seen her out and about since Kajol got her Padma Shri award. The 67 year old film veteran looked lovely, as she came to cheer on her daughters. Beautiful.




Kajol was spotted at the event...always a nice surprise to see her. She off-set the all noir jumper with some gold accessories. Is it just me or is her jumper a lil too long for her. It's not sitting properly at her waist either. Sloppy, sloppy.




Kajol was a ray of sunshine compared to her idiot sister, Tanish Mukherji. Even an outrageous evening gown couldn't shine her up. Yuck.



I think they didn't even bother with decent hair and make-up, chocking it up to a lost cause.

Pic of the day.



They finally realized the one thing they could lend their 'talent' towards: A sleazy sister act! More on the pic later...!
