Snooki Scared Her Boobs Won't Stop Growing

 Snooki isn't shy about sharing her thoughts on what she's gained in the chest area because of her pregnancy. On Thursday, March 29, the pint-sized "Jersey Shore" star responded to a flattering comment about her boobs from one of her Twitter followers, joking in a tweet, "They won't stop growing. I'm scared."

The tweet came shortly after the 24-year-old, who confirmed in early March that she's expecting her first child with fiance Jionni LaValle, posted a close-up shot of herself in a neon yellow top that shows off some serious cleavage. Along with the photo, she tweeted, "I got swagger with my pregnant self."

It isn't the only photo Snooki shared to his Twitter followers recently. Hours before posting the cleavage snap, she posted a photo of herself with Jionni, which caption reads, "My fiance." In it, the reality star sports a tiger-print bow in her hair and zebra-inspired earrings, while her fiance dons jeans and a dark hoodie. Holding hands, they give the camera a snap at her $55,000 diamond ring.

Snooki has also revealed one of the plans she has for her unborn child through Twitter, making her baby a fan of "progressive house music". The reality star, who has recently wrapped the filming of her "Jersey Shore" spin-off, tweeted, "When my baby can hear sound I'm gonna blast Dobenbeck, Ercola, Medina, Kaskade & Tiesto."

I want Madhubala’s films, Madhuri’s talent – Dia Mirza

 Legendary actress Madhubala and dancing diva Madhuri Dixit are among the names that come to Dia Mirza’s mind upon the mention of Bollywood’s most iconic women.

“Madhubala, Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen… these are among the most iconic women I can think of in Bollywood,” Dia said here while unveiling the top 10 iconic bestsellers of beauty brand The Body Shop.

If Dia was to grab one aspect of each of their lives, what would that be?

“It has to be Madhubala’s films, Madhuri’s talent! Manisha was one of the few naturally beautiful actresses when she came into the industry, and Aishwarya, I admire for everything… just for the fact that she is truly a global ambassador of India,” she added.

Looking princess-like in a simple, peach-coloured dress, Dia was asked her beauty secret.

“I think beauty is in one’s character,” she said.

The former Miss Asia Pacific started her Bollywood career with “Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein” in 2001, following which she has featured in over 30 titles so far.

Last year she turned producer with “Love Breakups Zindagi”, which was her last film as an actor as well.

As of now, she is enjoying the relaxed pace of her work.

“You arrive at a stage in life when you want peace, you don’t want to rush after things… so it’s just that for me. It’s time to reinvent myself, do new things, move forward and widen my horizons,” she said.

Dia is reportedly set to tie the knot with her beau, director Sahil Sangha, this year.

'Wrath of the Titans' Featurette Highlights Brutal One-Eyed Cyclops

In anticipation of the U.S. release of "Wrath of the Titans", Warner Bros. Pictures unveils a latest featurette from the Greek myth epic film. The promotional video highlights one of the ferocious monsters in the film called the Cyclops. The cannibal one-eyed giant, who lives in an ancient forest, possesses brute strength and wields giant clubs to crush its enemy.

Cyclops is not the only fearsome creature this upcoming fantasy movie has to offer. Among those that are hard to defeat by mere mortals are multi-headed Chimera that can burst fire, double-bodied Makhai army that can beat down thousand of troops easily, and horned beast Minotaur that dwells in an endless labyrinth.

"Wrath of the Titans" takes place a decade after Zeus' son, Perseus, defeated the Kraken. As the hero attempts to live a new life as a fisherman and a father to 10-year-old Helius, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos.

When Hades and Ares team up to capture Zeus, Perseus cannot ignore his true calling. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda, Poseidon's demigod son Argenor, and fallen god Hephaestus, he bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

A sequel to 2010's "Clash of the Titans", the forthcoming epic film is directed by Johnatan Liebesman. Rounding up the cast ensemble are such actors as Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell and Rosamund Pike.

Warners will release this film nationwide on March 30.

Kareena Kapoor to do item number in ‘Heroine’

 Actress Kareena Kapoor, who has lately been doing many item numbers in Bollywood, is gearing up for her next item song in Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Heroine”.

“We have a new item song called ‘Halkat Jawani’ which is a wonderful song that will be picturised on Kareena Kapoor. I am sure the audiences will love this song. This film ‘Heroine’ will be a different sort of film for Kareena Kapoor,” Bhandarkar told IANS.

Directed by Bhandarkar, the film has Kareena and Arjun Rampal in the lead.

The director says 40 percent of the shooting has been done.

“Forty percent of the film has been finished. From (April) 10th, we will again have a nonstop shooting and by September the film will be released,” he said.

Bhandarkar also sought to deny speculation that the film is based on Manisha Koirala’s life.

“This film is not based on Manisha Koirala. It is absolutely wrong. Lot of things had been written about the film before. I have created a character called Mahi Arora who is today’s girl. The film is all about how she witnesses the ups and downs in her life,” he said.

My grandfather was biased towards Karisma – Kareena Kapoor

 Actress Kareena Kapoor, who Wednesday unveiled her grandfather Raj Kapoor’s specially designed brass statue, said he was biased towards her elder sister Karisma Kapoor.

“My grandfather Raj Kapoor was biased towards Karisma because both of them had blue eyes. I have green eyes as that of my father,” Kareena told reporters.

“During summer seasons he would give two mangoes to Karisma and I would end up getting just one. I had to work hard to please him,” she added.

The statue was unveiled at the inauguration of UTV Stars’ property Walk of the Stars at the Bandra Bandstand Promenade.

The event witnessed the felicitation of the ‘Kapoor Khandan’, one of the legendary families of Indian cinema.

Kareena was accompanied by father Randhir Kapoor to unveil her grandfather’s statue.

“I am short of words, what more would I ask for. My father and my grandfather had made me who I am. Which girl has got this opportunity guys,” she said.

“Kapoors have acting in their veins and blood. I am looking forward to walk down a memory lane. What better gift than this to the 100 years of Indian cinema.”

Director Madhur Bhandarkar joined Kareena in unveiling the signatures of her great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Sunil Dutt and Nargis.

Madhur said: “The way Hollywood has its Walk of Fame even the Hindi film industry now has its Walk of Stars.”

A special picture was clicked with Kareena sitting in the lap of the statue of her grandfather where she said: “This is the only lap that Saif would allow me to sit on.”

The event was held at a five-star hotel but simultaneously the tiles dedicated to Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Karisma and Kareena were also installed at Bandstand.

A special honour brass statue on a bench of cinema greats Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor was also installed.

Miss Universe Canada Disqualified for Being Transgender Woman

 The Miss Universe Canada eventually removes Jenna Talackova from the competition for being transgendered. It is one of the heated scandals in the history of the pageant because there is no mention of rules regarding sex changes and many people stood behind Talackova to prevent her from being kicked out.

According to the organization, the 23-year-old beauty queen was booted "because she did not meet the requirements to compete despite having stated otherwise on her entry form. We do, however, respect her goals, determination and wish her the best." Talackova submitted "female" as the gender when she was born when submitting her form but later admitted to "male".

Talackova, a Vancouver resident, was born male but has identified herself as a female since the age of 4. She went through hormone therapy at 14 and went under the knife for gender reassignment at 19. She was a Top 10 finalist in the transgender Miss International Queen pageant held in Thailand in 2010 and she was selected among 65 finalists for the 2012 Miss Universe Canada competition.

The national director of Miss Universe Canada Denis Davila said, "She feels like a real girl and she is a real girl. She didn't expect people to question it. She was hoping we could put her back in the competition, but the rules are very clear, and there's no way we can go back on it."

Talackova is expected to make a statement about her disqualification. Over 20,000 people have signed a petition at change.org to reverse the board's decision.

Justin Bieber Poised to Debut High on Hot 100 With 'Boyfriend'

 Justin Bieber is bound for a big debut on Billboard Hot 100 this week. Through his newly-released single "Boyfriend", the teen pop singer is estimated to pull in around 400,000 downloads by the week's end on Sunday, April 1.

By gaining such high sales number, Bieber could easily surpass his previous best sales week for a song, which he posted last year with "Never Say Never". Back then, he peaked at No. 5 on Digital Songs chart with 199,000 downloads.

On top of that, Bieber might notch the best sales week of the year for a single if he's able to surpass Katy Perry's opening sales number. A month ago, the West Coast singer busted the chart with "Part of Me" which garnered 411,000 copies.

According to Billboard, response from radio listeners looks just as promising as its sales. After just two days being launched on radio, the single is already in the top 20 with more than 800 first-week plays, and this could send Bieber to land on Hot 100's top 5.

If the Canadian singer managed to enter the U.S. single chart higher than No. 5, it could mark his highest Hot 100 entry. Among his charting singles, the "Mistletoe" singer had a highest start with his claim-fame single "Baby", which arrived at No. 5 two years ago.

"Boyfriend" is taken from Bieber's new album "Believe". Choosing the single as a first official offering was "really hard," so Bieber opened up in an interview with Ryan Seacrest. "We had so many songs, so many up-tempos we could have released, and I thought we should slow it down a little bit."

"There's so many people that are going to give me opinions and tell me how my career should go, but I'm the only one who can ultimately make those decisions, because I am the one who is going to have to live with my career for the rest of my life."

Talking about the content on the album, he gushed, "It's kind of classic, I feel. Because the songs I feel won't get old. The music is very fresh, but it's also I'm taking a lot from old school music, like a lot of Michael Jackson is inspired in this album. A lot of old R&B. A lot of old pop. Just stuff that I feel I can bring into, but also make fresh and new. So, it's pretty special."

Octomom Explains Topless Photos: This Is More of a Celebration of a Woman's Body

 Nadya Suleman has once again grabbed the headlines. This time, the Octomom does it with some semi-nude photos as she goes topless for a paid interview with a U.K. Magazine, Closer. In an interview with Celebuzz, she confirmed that her financial situation forced her to do the revealing photo spread, but was quick to point out, "It's more a celebration kind of thing."

"Well, I got the opportunity from my manager and I said no at first," said the 36-year-old when explaining why she agreed to pose in only nude panties. "Then I thought about it for awhile and I realized, you know we are destitute right now. If I wasn't in the situation I'm in I wouldn't even fathom doing something like that. It's not conducive to my morals and values, but the way I rationalized was it is the truth."

"You know, this is a woman's magazine," she further reasoned. "It's not a men's magazine, which I perceive to be exploitative and over sexualized. This is more of a celebration of a woman's body - particularly after having one child, let alone 14. I think all women should have the confidence and inner strength to be okay with themselves and to express themselves and love themselves and be confident." She added, "And of course, I needed the money. That's the primary reason. That's mainly it."

Suleman further stressed that she didn't do nude photos. "I said no to nude, it wasn't nude, it was topless and it was me covering my private areas," she insisted. "I have underwear on the whole time. It's really when you think about it, I am showing no more than when I did the bikini photo shoot, which I also haven't seen [laughs]. So I don't feel it's inappropriate."

The mother of 14 continued, "I am absolutely not ashamed whatsoever. I was kind of proud that nothing had to be airbrushed. I was hiding my tattoos in the underwear and a little make-up on the tattoos and that's it. I was proud of that." When asked if any of her children has seen the photos, she responded, "You wouldn't believe, I haven't seen one picture."

An attorney for Suleman also offered similar reason on why the woman who gave birth to octuplets in 2009 posed topless for Closer. "She's not doing well. She's struggling financially and she does whatever she can," Jeff Czech told The Associated Press on Tuesday, March 27. While the lawyer remained silence on how much Suleman was paid for the photo shoot, TMZ claimed she received $10,000.

Kim Kardashian Finds Solace at Church After Flour Bomb Incident

 Kim Kardashian has just revealed what keeps her going forward after an eventful week. Having gone through an embarrassing situation following her flour-bomb incident last Thursday, March 22, the estranged wife of Kris Humphries shared to her Twitter followers that she's found solace at church.

On Sunday, March 25, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star wrote on her account, "I would be lost if I didn't go to church to reflect back on my whole week." She followed it up with another tweet that read, "Today's service was awesome! Thank you so much @brad_s_johnson! Extra special! Needed that!"

The tweet came just two days after the 31-year-old told E! News that she's planning to press charges against the woman who dumped a bag of white flour on her head at the red carpet event for her new fragrance, True Reflection. "I am just going to think about it, because I don't want someone to think they can really get away with that," so she said. "So we are going to handle that."

Kim's plan quickly drew harsh response from PETA. The animal rights organization blasted the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant in a statement released via TMZ as saying, "If she presses charges, at least people will be constantly reminded of her selfish, callous disregard for the cruel deaths that she causes by wearing fur."

"How much better it would be if she decided to evolve and enhance her image by donating her vulgar furs and exotic-animal skins to the homeless. The activist acted from the heart, something Kim doesn't seem to have. If anything, Kim should get a life, the very thing that she denies animals," continued the group, who also said they are willing to cover the flour-bomber's defense costs.

Climbing to No. 20 on Billboard Hot 100, "Princess of China" is one of the singles from Coldplay's latest chart-busting studio installment "Mylo Xyloto". Its music video was reportedly filmed at the Taiko Center in Los Angeles.

The Academy Award nominee, who is expecting her third child at the age of 41-year-old, has proudly flaunted her growing baby bump by wearing a tiny two-piece bikini while soaking up the sun with her family in St. Barts, France over the weekend.

She was also seen joining Maya, her 13-year-old daughter with former husband Ethan Hawke, on the beach. Taking to the sand for some relaxation, she put on a sun hat and a pair of sunglasses as she read a book.

 The wait is over. Justin Bieber's highly-anticipated single "Boyfriend" has come out for his Beliebers' listening pleasure. It opens with him rapping the first verse over some catchy Justin Timberlake-y melodies with "clubby drum" sound before the pre-hook and the chorus are sung.

"If I was your boyfriend, never let you go/ Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone/ I can be a gentleman, anything you want," the Canadian popstar croons. "So give me a chance, 'cause you're all I need girl/ Spend a week with your boy, I'll be calling you my girlfriend."

Shortly after the single was released early Monday, March 26, iTunes was overloaded with highly download demands. "Yo @itunesmusic im trying to romance 19 million ladies with my music. you are kinda screwing this up for me. LEGGO! #BOYFRIENDonITUNES," Bieber complained.

A lead single from Bieber's new album "Believe", the single was co-written by the teen singer and his pal Mike Posner. "He's super talented. At first I didn't know what to expect because he's super young, but [the] dude can write," Posner gushed about his songwriting partner.
