Rockstar concert in Delhi, Mumbai in November

The much-awaited music of Imtiaz Ali?s Rockstar composed by AR Rahman which has already created a huge buzz among the masses, is finally set to hit stands on Monday without an official music launch event. However, the film?s producer and music label have come to an agreement to do concerts in
Delhi and London, in early November, along with the cast and crew of the film.

?The buzz around the music is so big that we don?t need any formal music launch. We wanted to do something different, so we thought of this new idea,? says Bhushan Kumar of T-Series.

The soundtrack of Rockstar was scheduled to release on September 24, and was later postponed to September 29. The delay in production, followed by some final touches to the CD, stalled the release of the music, reveals Kumar. ?The delay took place due to the production. The CD is also a bit different. It has a lot of embossing. The master also got delayed because Rahman was not in India. We were anyway targeting its release around Navratri and not during the shraadh (fasting) period,? he says.

According to Kumar, the concerts will feature Rahman on stage, and Ranbir may join in too. ?We are planning concerts since the film is about music. It will be in Delhi on November 1 and later in London. And by November, I am sure the songs will have become more popular,? he says.

Anushka Sharma a Size 8? Yeah Right

Forget the modeling career. Forget the films. In the future Anushka Sharma will be known for one thing and one thing only: being the size zero actress who had the cojones to try and tell a reporter she was a size 8.

No one's buying it Anushka.

In an interview with DNA today the waifish slip of an actress fended off rumors of an eating disorder. Asked to comment on her weight she replied, "I am a lean, tall girl with big muscles." She then rather indignantly batted down any talk of her being "sub-size zero" by claiming that there was no such thing as a size zero (um, hello... does the name Kareena Kapoor mean nothing to you?) and that she herself was a UK size 8 (a US size 4-6).

http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2009/jun/anushka-iffa.jpgRubbish. Anushka Sharma is tinier than Kareena Kapoor was at her slimmest, which Kapoor proudly touted as a size zero.

It'd be one thing if Anushka (or any other actresses for that matter) would just be honest and say that with the demands of their jobs, the stress, the constant traveling, etc., it's natural to lose a bit of weight. But to try to pretend you're four sizes larger than you are in defense of criticism about your weight, when anyone can see otherwise, is absolutely ridiculous.

Her weight wasn't the only thing Sharma was defensive about. When asked about an alleged rivalry with Bollywood newcomer Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka exclaimed, "I'm not going to sit and fight with her for a boy!" (an interesting announcement considering no one asked her about any boy?in this case she's obviously referring to Band Baaja Baaraat co-star Ranveer Singh, who has been linked to Sinha). She also derided Sinha for only having done one film so far.

It's tempting to say that Anushka Sharma is starting to get too big for her britches... metaphorically at least!

Neil Nitin Mukesh in praise of Priyanka

Bollywood?s Fair and Handsome dude Neil Nitin Mukesh in recent times have been in news more for his link ups than his films. He has been lying low on work front since quite some time now but when it comes to link ups he is no less than his competitor Ranbir who is the front runner in the link-up game.

In recent past he has been linked to Bollywood beauties like Deepika Padukone and Asin citing his close bonds with them. But now he recently went over the board to praise another Bollywood hottie that is Priyanka Chopra. He stated that according to him the one star who redefined success and has climbed the desirability ladder then it is Priyanka.

Till now it was Deepika Padukone who was on top of Neil?s list. He once even quite technically proposed Deepika on Twitter but later shunned it by touting it to be a game between the two. With Priyanka now being showered with Neil?s praises, we hope that it gives her another reason to smile.

Priyanka thinks working with Kareena can be fun!

Actresses Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor have always been on a sour note. They have been rivals on screen as well as off the screen. But Priyanka now says that she would love to work with Bebo.

Since Priyanka was dating Kareena?s ex-beau, Shahid, media often reported about the animosity between the two divas. But their bitterness reached another level when PC refused to do an item number in Saif?s home production ?Agent Vinod?.

According to the sources PC did not want to do an item number in ?Agent Vinod? since it was also Bebo?s film.

When Saif was recently asked by media at an event, if he was upset that PC didn`t want to do the song, and he replied, "I am completely fine with that, as most actresses do not want to share screen space with Bebo."

On the other hand Priyanka said, working with Kareena would be fun if it happens. "I was approached for the item song, but it never went further than a conversation. I would love to do a song with Kareena in her film; it would be fun. I believe Agent Vinod is shaping up to be a fantastic film, but I haven`t even heard the song yet. So please, stop the speculation."
