Blind Item!

This one has so many possibilities! Let's discuss:

In Bollywood it is very difficult to stay alone and if you do, there's something that is being hidden in the closet. Today, we talk about a reclusive actress who at the same time is considered one of the most powerful heroines here. Well, this actress has almost given up on films and has just one or two projects in her hand in which she is barely has any role. In one of the films, where she was supposed to play the lead has now been shelved because apparently she hasn't been able to dance at all. Yes, she cannot dance because in most of her films she hasn't exactly danced but just moved to the beats. 

This woman is now known to be under severe depression. Why? The man she used to love has now declined to divorce his lovely wife and come to her. Unfortunately, her putting constant pressure on this man to divorce his wife seems to be taking a toll on their relationship. The visits from the man have started to become less frequent. Before, the man would fly down from to stay with her and the two would spend the weekend in her Mumbai apartment twice every month. But now, the visits have become less frequent and this man has apparently not visited her for the past two months. 

She tried to goad this man to come to her but now she seems on a failing wicket. It looks like the actress has finally decided to shake off her tag and come out and party. But unfortunately, she seems to be batting alone with nobody at the non-striker's end and the biological scoreboard ticking away rapidly.

Thanks, anon commentariat!

Not so blind item: Another f*cking story about them!?

Mr. Masand's gossip for the week:

Although they were one of Bollywood's longest BF/GF relationships, this sexy screen siren and her ex, known more for his body rather than his acting face, have been making constant headlines, now that their relationship is kaput.

It seems now the screen siren is griping to her friends upon discovering how she got played by her ex, during their relationship. Timing couldn't get any better, since the hunk just went public with his new GF, a non-Bollywood, brainy-business type of gal.

Although the hunk garnered the majority of the sympathy after the break-up, it seems he wasn't as innocent as he had us thinking. The sexy siren is fuming--even now--that she knows her ex was seeing his current GF, while they were still together. A fact that surfaced only during the last few months the siren and hunk were still dating..!

Read our reveal, after the jump!


:SIGH:
....that was a big sigh, folks. And a dismal one, at that.

The sexy screen siren is Seven-Eleven Bipasha Basu, who  apparently is foaming at the mouth, now that John Abraham has taken his new GF, investment banker Priya Runchal, out in public.

Not a week goes by without hearing some lame detail about Bipasha Basu and John Abraham's relationship. And this week is no exception thanks to Mr. Masand....

I'm gonna have to call this one a lame PR stunt folks, here's why:

• Bipasha went on a PR blitz a few months back, where she was ready to talk about anything involving her relationship with John. In fact some of her interviews were targeted almost directly at John's expense. If she knew he was two-timing her with this new Priya chick when they were still together, why just mention it now? Almost one year AFTER they've broken up? Hmm...it must be purely coincidental that John's Desi Boyz just happens to be coming out this week....no? ;-)


• Sources close to John say Bipasha's PR blitz was her way of getting back at him, after he went on Koffee With Karan solo and bragged about his "bed breaking" abilities. (Did y'all notice KJo blush?) Bipasha's camp stated she was humiliated by his appearance on that show, hence her PR blitz post their break-up. For the most part, John remained quiet and only released a sporadic statement here and there in response. Bipasha, on the other hand, got a lot of criticism as people claimed she didn't want to let go talking about her relationship with John. Releasing this bit about John two-timing her, suddenly tries to shift the blame! Almost right after his pics with the new girl went public, Bipasha's people released a random photo shoot of hers, which they've lazily linked to the Jan 2012 release of Players. Tit for tat, doesn't get any better!


• I don't doubt John was playing tickle my pickle with someone else (KJo, Vidya, Chitrangada, Deepika et al) while he was still massaging Bipasha's ego...I just don't think it was with this a girl...! Moreover, Bipasha shouldn't be so shocked, she was also playing find my tunnel with your engine with others during her tenure with John (Amar Singh, SAK, Ronaldo, et al). It's obvious they remained together for the sake of their endorsements and publicity, theirs' became a relationship of convenience. So let's all behave like adults and tell your PR teams to quit the smear campaigns against one another, hmm?

On a side note: ok Masand saab, we get it. We get it. Last week was about Deepika, this week, John, you want us to see Desi Boyz, but must you jam it down our throats?

Don 2 sued for copyright infringement

Producers of Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don are crying foul over Excel Entertainment's decision to remake Don 2. While the makers had bought the rights of the first installment of the SRK starrer, they never approached Nariman Films for the sequel of the film, reports Mid Day.

The production house of the original Don has now sent a legal notice to Don 2 makers for copyright infringement, according to the tabloid.

Producers at Nariman Films told Mid Day, "We have raised our objection through our advocates Digvijay Chopra and Iva Bansal."

Confirming that a legal notice has been sent to Excel Entertainment, Red Chillies Entertainment, Reliance Entertainment, Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Shah Rukh Khan and Baba Arts, Digvijay Chopra told the tabloid, "The remake rights were given only for the film Don - The Chase Begins Again, starring Shah Rukh Khan, by an agreement, which expired in 2009. Thereafter, they never renewed it or even take any prospective rights from Nariman films."

Now the lawyers have decided to drag Don 2 - The Chase Continues to High Court as well as criminal courts, as per the paper.

"We will be approaching the courts for stay on the release and promotions as well as confiscating all the Infringed Copies under the Copyright Act," Chopra and Bansal were quoted by the daily.

Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment however told the tabloid, "Whatever we are doing is legal and their charges are false."
