Jibber-jabber!

Imran "Have y'all noticed my new fluff muff?" Khan is bringing out all the stops to promote his next film with Is She or Isn't She: Kareena Kapoor. One of their latest stunts includes driving around in his new ride, a Ferrari. Interesting choice of ride for someone who claims to be so environmentally conscious. Speaking of his new elevated pubic hair facial hair, Imran is growing it for his next flick by Vishal Bhardwaj. The beard, the pierced ears, the cockiness...all prep work for the next film. Yay, I can't wait....oh wait, yes I can. I didn't know Bhardwaj was making Sinbad: The Fugly Sailor...?

Karan Johar is on the defense, Y'all. Rumors have been circulating (most probably by Priyanka's PR folks) that Priyanka Chopra has been cast in Karan Johar's next film, following their hit Agneepath. After poor KJo got his ass chewed out by his fuming BFF Gauri, he's finally putting the rumors to rest. Through his mouth peice, KJo said, "This year Karan has many films lined up none of them feature PC. There's Punit Malhotra's next with Shahid Kapoor, Ayaan Mukerji's film with Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor, Rensil D Silva's film with Emraan Hashmi, Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana 2 and the film that Ekta Kapoor and Karan are jointly producing which will feature Kareena Kapoor or Kat. Priyanka is not even in the running for any film." Ok, we can all sleep in peace now, thanks for the clarification.

Now that Jr. Money Bags is out of the picture, Deepika Padukone is relying on her old punching bag for support. THIS idiot who seems to be happy to be Deepika's perennial Plan B go-to guy, isn't complaining one bit. Meanwhile other rumors suggest she's been seen hanging out with John Abraham. Yeeck, talk about being stuck between a rock and a *hard* place.... ;-) In other DPad news, now that she's left Race 2 film makers high and dry after shooting began a week ago, they are scrambling to get another A-lister to fill her shoes. Ramesh Taurani is reportedly trying to woo Fat Lips for the role.

Just the other day, we read a whole mind-numbing "article" about how ARB is doing all the new Mommy work on her own, refusing to enlist the help of nannies. Commendable, if true, but as luck reality would have it, the story was nothing more than utter bullsh*t, as we suspected. Abhishek joined his two favorite gals down in Goa to privately celebrate his birthday. Amitabh A source close to the family revealed, "This is Abhishek's first break in months. He's been shooting non-stop and Ash hasn't really left the house since the delivery, except on two occasions (one was Parmeshwar Godrej's party for Oprah Winfrey and the other was for Riteish and Genelia's wedding last week). This is the first time Beti B has been taken out of the city. It was just the three of them, along with the baby's nanny." Doh!

Bollywood stars are on the move! First up, Priyanka Chopra is said to be looking for shiny new flat to purchase. Uh-oh guess the door men at all her 8 Mumbai properties finally figured out she's not the real Mrs. SRK. The actress is said to be house hunting for a home facing the sea in Juhu with a supposed budget of Rs. 25 crore. Looking to get away from his folks' home, Krishna Raj, on Pali Hill, Ranbir Kapoor has also been eyeing a few new apartments in and around Bandra. It's unclear whether the new place will be for Ranbir or his folks, when their current home begins renovations later this year. Katrina Kaif is still house hunting, after her last apartment reminds her too much of Ranbir's late night visits was deemed unlivable. The actress wants a sprawling home in Juhu, with a supposed budget of Rs. 15-20 crore.

Kareena Kapoor's pregnancy rumors only seem to be getting stronger. When she's is not wearing a sheer sari (Filmfare awards, R&G's wedding reception) she been spotted is loose fitting shirts and caught doing the infamous arm cross-overs over her mid-section, causing much speculation and confusion among her fans and non-fans alike. If she is in fact pregnant, hiding the pregnancy until her "public" wedding ceremony makes sense. We can't have her waddling around in Manish Malhotra maternity wear, now can we? Then again, if she is pregnant, why is she wearing sheer sarees which only bring attention to her belly? Maybe this is a bit of her passive-aggressive way of telling the world to f*ck off...? Catch some recent pics of Kareena from her  promotional events, after the jump!

Twitter war: Ayesha Takia vs. Siddharth Mallya!

A furious and somewhat incoherent Ayesha "Big bouncy chesticles" Takia took to Twitter recently on behalf of her sister Natasha Takia, who she says was mistreated by an associate of Kingfisher Airlines. Here in her own rambling words is what Ayesha says happened: 

"The worst airline,kingfisher!!!shockingly baddddddddddd airport staff behavior at delhi airport with my sister.

We r goin 2 take serious action against this and go 2 court with it,let the law handle it,so that this doesnt happen 2 any girl again!"

Siddharth Mallya caught wind of Ayesha's Tweets and responded:

"Been getting retweets about Ayesha Takia & KFA. not too sure who she is, an actor of some sorts?? But it seems something has upset her!!

Don't know why Ayesha Takia is tweeting so much when she wasn't even present. There are always two sides to a story. Pipe down love."

Oooh....so NOT the thing to say Turd Mallya! Ayesha hit back with:

"Well any indian citizen can stand up for their rites if treated badly,and I don't have to be anyone u know sidharth mallya!!!!!!!!!!!!

u wernt there either so don't b condescending and defend ur freakin staff,first find out wot happend!u clearly r unaware of ALOT sidharth m!"

You tell him, Honey. Siddharth finally ended it with:

"I'm loving this...people too easy to wind up on twitter. I'm bored now. Good night"

Ayesha, meanwhile, has been busy re-Tweeting comments by people who have had similar problems with Kingfisher Airlines. Some even saying they've dealt with KFA employees drunk on the job at various airports around the country, sparking a safety debate.

Team Button Busters all the way!

Wow....

Who am I..?

BOI's dirt. Bless their hearts for trying...:

This director, known for his penchant for making period films, has decided to make another ambitious film but with a contemporary subject. But to make his project historical, he signed a mega star. So far so good. Now news is that this project, although announced a few months ago, won?t see the light of day.

Reason: Although this director?s last two films were duds, corporate houses were still keen to work with him due to his track record (before the two duds) but the budget is playing havoc. The corporate houses are okay with him wanting to make a different movie this time but they want him and his film's star to take a pay cut and reduce the budget as well. But our director is living in the past and is adamant on the remuneration and his extravagant proposal.

Result: This project is unlikely to happen.

 Obvi, right!? Love how lil mind-less bits of filmy news is being converted into "blind items"....

PC clears air on her on-going affair with Srk

Reportedly, actor Priyanka Chopra has always taken a 'No Comments' stance whenever she was asked anything to say about her relation with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. However, now the dusky beauty has come forward to elaborate more on the topic.

Apparently, the 30-year-old actor in an interview to a leading daily spoke about how much the Srk rumors has affected her. The 'Andaaz' debutant stated that she is unfazed with the goss she reads in newspapers about her. Piggy Chops added that she feels bad when she discovers any such news. However, PC also admitted that she has never hidden anything from the media and in future too, she won't be doing it.

The '7 Khoon Maaf' star also made one thing clear that these rumors won't affect her and given an opportunity she would again feature opposite King Khan. On the other hand, Srk has maintained a dignified silence over the entire issue from beginning.

Salman Khan is India's Most Desirable!

B-town?s hottest bachelor, Salman Khan has been voted as the ?Times 50 Most Desirable Men of 2011? by The Times of India.

The poll results show that Salman received over 3.74 lakh votes hence has topped the list for last year.

The desirable actor is currently in Cuba filming for his next film and is pleased to know that after being in the running for almost two years, he has finally won the title.

Of course his single status has boosted his desirability, but we must also remember the amount of hit film?s Salman has delivered since ?Dabangg? in 2010.

The actor is also very fond of his charity, ?Being Human? and although he never asks for recognition, he does love the fact that his star buddies have supported his cause during fashion shows in the past.

We guess all this explains why Salman has made it to the number one spot as the ?Times 50 Most Desirable Men of 2011.?

Are you happy with the poll results? Or would you have chosen another Bollywood actor?

Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli again leads to violence

Katrina Kaif's Chikni chameli has yet again triggered violence. In a recent incident in Mumbai, a family was beaten up brutally by a group of students who had gone to watch the movie Agneepath.

Reports suggest that a nine member family went to watch Agneepath at Movie Gem cinema hall. When the song 'Chikni Chameli' came on, few students got up from their seats and started dancing with vulgar moves in front of the family.

The family objected to this unruly behaviour that led to an argument. Though the fight calmed down at that point of time, the students remained angry and revengeful. After the movie got over, the family members got beaten up black and blue by the boys at the parking lot.

A complaint was lodged by the family members that led to the arrest of few of the assaulters.

Preeti's liveliness wows 'Yeh Hai Mumbai' director

Preeti Jhangiani is so full of life that she didn't have to pretend to play the role in 'Yeh Hai Mumbai', says director Sneh Tulli. "Preeti is playing a bubbly character, which is not very different from her real life character. She is so sweet and well-behaved that even during breaks she used to ask me if anything was required or if she could go to her vanity," said Tulli.

Tully added: "Preeti in her real life is always full of life and very bubbly, so while shooting she didn't had to pretend."

The actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Yash Raj's 'Mohabbatein', is believed to keep the atmosphere on the sets very delightful.

"As soon as Preeti shows up on the sets, the atmosphere on the sets, and cast and crew light up, there is smile on everyone's face and the environment becomes very relaxed," said a source.

Ajay vs Aamir - Who will play Casanova in south remake?

If 52-year-old Malayalam star Mohanlal can play the title role in Casanovva, there's little that can keep our Bollywood superstars from doing the same. Now buzz is that Aamir Khan or Ajay Devgn might be stepping into Mohanlal's shoes for the Hindi remake of the film.

The film incidentally is being sold as the most expensive movie to be made in Kerala. The remake rights of the Mohanlal-Shriya Saran starrer that released two weeks ago is apparently said to have been sold for a record-breaking amount.

Says director Roshan Andrews of the original film, "Even when we were writing the film we thought it was a perfect script for a Hindi film. It's got all the elements for a masala movie. I cannot reveal the actor's names right now, but it is a big star. Otherwise it won't do justice to Lal's role in the film. "

Interestingly, though the rights have been sold to producer Ketan Shah, Andrews will be directing the Bollywood remake as well. He adds, "Kerala will always remain my base and drifting to Bollywood will only expand my horizons. I am doing this because it's my film. I won't be keen on directing in Hindi otherwise."

The film, which released in Kerala this month, did not see the initial numbers, and was initially panned. But it has now gone on to take the box office by storm.

Now the makers are planning to remake it on a much larger scale than the Malayalam film. The producers are set to conduct a location hunt next month in US, Argentina and South Africa.

SRK to receive a warm & frenzied welcome in sub-zero Berlin

The King will be back in Berlin and he can expect a really warm and enthusiastic welcome from his fans in sub-zero Berlin weather. It is expected to get a wee bit warmer around the time he arrives in the historical city. Shah Rukh Khan will land in Berlin on 10th February to attend the DON 2 press conference. He will return soon after DON 2 premiere on 11th February, 2012, at 9.30 PM at Friedrichstadt-Palast, a mega-theatre with1800 seats. Tickets for the premiere will start selling from today (6.02.2012) at Euro 12 (around Rs.900).

It is certain that there will be a huge crowd of his squealing, screaming, and swooning female fans who will brave the Berlin chill and snow to have a glimpse of their heartthrob. In 2010 when the King came to Berlin with MY NAME IS KHAN, it was rumoured that the tickets for his film's show were sold in black. There will be a repeat show of DON 2 next day noon at reduced prices (9 Euros) at the same venue. The 2 D Hindi version of the film will be screened with English sub-titles. The dubbed German version will be released later on 16th February, 2012, which will mark the film's release in the other language versions in overseas territories like Russia, Germany, China, France, Israel, and Turkey.

The Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) officials are expecting a huge rush of SRK fans in Berlin. They are treating his presence as THE event of this year's festival. Expecting a kind of a mob frenzy, generally associated with rock stars, they have refused to disclose the name of the hotel where SRK will be put up. It should be Ritz Carlton in all probability. The Berlinale web site also has a special Q&A page to answer the queries of SRK fans and to provide information about ticket sales etc.

Katrina Kaif is in demand, down South!

We already know that Katrina Kaif is all set to act opposite South superstar, Rajnikanth. Another Southern biggie who has roped in the gorgeous beauty is Kaman Hassan.

It is heard that in Rajnikanth?s film titled Kochadaiyyan, the actress will be earning a whooping Rs 5 crore.

Enters Kamal Haasan who now wants Kats in his Hindi-Tamil-Telugu anti-corruption epic Amar Hai that goes on the floors by year-end.

Says a friend close to Katrina, ?She?s very eager to work with Rajnikant. It?s like a wish come true for every Indian actress to do at least one film with him.
And Kamal Haasan is Kamal Haasan. And to be offered a film by him is a big honour. Between shooting for the two Yashraj films with Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, she has to find the time to squeeze in the Tamil icons.?

In Rajni?s film Kochadaiyyan, Katrina doesn?t have a very big role to play, though she is the lead lady. However, Kamal Hassan?s film has a dream role for the actress.

Says the source, ?Firstly she?s a big Kamal Haasan fan. Secondly though Kamaji plays the title role of Amar in the film, Kat has a dream role in Amar Hai, the kind that she has never played before.?

Confirming the news, Hassan said, ?She has been approached by the producer. It would be lovely to have her on board. The role suits her perfectly.?
