Sonakshi, makes a hat-trick with Salman
Salman Khan has signed another film with the much talked-about debutante, Sonakshi Sinha.
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala drove down to the Sinhas’ bungalow to sign Sonakshi opposite Salman in the Hindi remake of the Tamil blockbuster Kick which Shirish Kunder will be directing for Nadiadwala.
Buzz is that, Sallu recommended Sonakshi for the female lead which Ileana had performed in the Telugu original.
Confirming the news, Sajid says, “It was Salman who was very keen that I sign Sonakshi opposite him in Kick remake. I became a hundred percent sure of her after I saw her in Dabangg. She and Salman make a great pair. I am very happy to be working with Shatruji’s daughter. He has worked extensively for my banner. In fact I’ve a picture at home with Shatruji when he was shooting for our banner in Bhai Ho To Aisa. I was 6 at that time.”
Says Sajid emotionally, “This is the first time I’ve gone to someone’s house to sign an actor. Everyone comes to my office. But Sonakshi is Shatrughan Sinhaji’s daughter.”
Shatughan Sinha went on to add, “I told Sonakshi that I’ve worked with Sajid’s grandfather and father. Now it’s her turn to continue the tradition. God willing my sons too will work with Sajid.”
Interestingly and incidentally, this is Sonakshi’s third film with Salman. She is already doing the sequel to Dabangg with the star.
Mallika Sherawat says Priyanka Chopra copies her
Actress Mallika Sherwat, who was missing from the Bollywood scenario for a long time, is now back to India and she has opened her bold mouth again. Recently, the actress came back to Mumbai from Los Angeles for her next Bollywood project Double Dhamaal.Mallika sounded very upset with Bollywood star Priyanka. The Hiss girl has reportedly said that Priyanka has copied her act in the Color’s reality show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 3’. An enraged Mallika uttered her disappointment in a very witty manner. She took up the micro blogging site twitter to divulge her ire. She said that Priyanka has deliberately copied her stance.
Priyanka Chopra was seen wrapping a huge python around her neck for the reality show. Mallika has walked the red carpet in this year’s Cannes festival with a black and yellow python wrapped around the neck. Sherawat performed this act to promote her upcoming Hollywood project Hiss, where she plays a snake woman.
The controversy queen of Bollywood, Mallika can probably go to any extent to bring her movie in the limelight. She tweeted that it is just an example of what is in store on future episodes of KKK3. However, hope this act of Mallika’s helps her to gain some attention that she has lost in these years in Bollywood!

Kim Kardashian Fumes Over Newly Released Nude Pics
Kim Kardashian may be used to brandishing pictures of her cleavage through Twitter and other social networks, but the same cannot be said it seems when it comes to the reality star’s nude pics from yesteryears.
Kardashian expressed her displeasure after learning that Playboy, for which she did a photo shoot back in 2007, released more than 20 never-before-seen nude photographs of her. The pictures, 25 of them, were distributed recently to members of the Playboy Cyber Club. A source told Radaronline that “Kim was really upset that the new photos were released.”
The 29-year-old, who posed for Playboy before she became famous for the reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” thought that the nude pics would never see the light of day, the source added. Earlier this year, Kardashian said she regretted doing the Playboy shoot and that it was really her mother who convinced her to accept the offer. “They might never ask you again. Our show isn’t on the air yet. No one knows who you are,” Kardashian quoted her mother as saying.
Source Says Jennifer Lopez Sure to Be “Idol” Judge
Despite all the negative talks about her alleged “diva” demands, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly already a cinch to join Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler as judges of “American Idol” Season 10.
A source cited by Usmagazine said that JLo is definitely joining idol with the contract now ready for Lopez’s signature. Lopez’s hiring could be announced next month, just in time for the beginning of the auditions for the new season. Despite early setbacks, the negotiations “ended up working out and they have a good agreement,” the source said.
Earlier, there were reports that “Idol” producers were having problems agreeing to Lopez’s “divalike” demands, although those claims were never substantiated. Another report claims that Lopez will receive $12 million to sit in the panel. The offer is reportedly down from the $15 million that Lopez demanded.
Jackson is the only holdover judge from the previous season, following the resignation of Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres, as well as the firing of Kara DioGuardi.
John Mayer Shuts Down Twitter Account
John Mayer has decided to stay silent, at least on Twitter. The musician deleted his Twitter account on Monday, saying goodbye to his 3.7 million followers on the micro-blogging site.
Mayer’s Twitter retirement did not come without a warning, though, as the 32-year-old multiple-Grammy winner had tweeted three days ago a black and white photo of himself using a laptop with the caption: “Self Portrait of The Artist Three Days Before His Metaphoric Retirement.” The singer’s spokeswoman said the closing of the Twitter account was in line with the coming end of his Battle Studies Tour. The spokeswoman added that Mayer would soon be going back to work on new materials at his studio.
However, Mayer will not be completely cut off from the cyberworld as he still has his personal blog. Mayer had previously used the deleted Twitter account to promote his Battle Studies Tour when he invited students at the University of South Carolina to watch his free show back in February. It was also through the same Twitter account that he apologized after his now infamous Playboy interview.
