Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif to be paired on the big screen

 we witnessed an elegant photo shoot by Indian superstars of today, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif. It was for a book by ‘Cineblitz’. It came up with the idea of paying a tribute to the legendary stars of Bollywood, Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman. Aamir potrayed Guru Dutt, while Katrina as Waheeda. This photo shoot of Aamir-Kat was liked by people a lot.

That was the last time we saw, Katrina and Aamir in Guru Dutt’s biopic by Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra. The photo shoot was grand and both of them together looked stunning in it.

This time, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif are roped in for a film together. So the magic will be recreated again. Once Aamir was asked that why does not he work with Katrina, to which he replied he would definitely love to work with the leading lady of Bollywood, but no one has yet come up to him with this idea. Ofcourse, there was another reason for Kat and Aamir not pairing up for a film in the past. That is because Kat and Salman were lovers then. And Aamir knows well, how Sallu is possessive about his girl friends. Thus, Aamir did not sign any film with her at that time, because he did not feel comfortable to work together with his buddy Salman’s, lady love Katrina. But now that the duo has split, Aamir and Katrina have got no botheration to work together in a film.

We are looking forward to see this hot jodi to pair up and create magic on screen.

Amrita Rao dating Neil Kulkarni?

 Amrita Rao, the girl next door who transformed herself into a hottie for “Short kut: The Con Is On” movie, after her previous films failed to impress the audience, is the talk of the town for her affair with a NRI doctor. This Bollywood actress debuted with the film “Ab Ke baras” in 2002, though she grabbed eyeballs with her roles in Ken Ghosh’s “Ishq Vishk” and Farah Khan’s “Main Hoon Na”. In 2009, she stormed the audience’s hearts by going bolder in “Short Kut: The Con Is On”, where she flaunted her curves without inhibitions by wearing bikinis and revealing dresses.

Previously, this bold actress was linked up with several actors. It was even rumoured that Amrita dated Shahid Kapoor, but after sometime these rumours died out. But now, Amrita is dating Neil Kulkarni, a NRI orthopaedic surgeon. They met in San Francisco, at a charity event sometime in August, last year. Amrita was shooting in San Francisco for the movie “Love You Mr Kalakar”, produced by Rajshri Pictures.

Though their relationship is a long distance one, but they meet at times, like Neil came to India to spend time with Amrita on New Year. Amrita managed to keep this a secret affair all this time, yet this news finally busted out. Even then, her secretary when asked about her and Neil’s affair stated Amrita is busy with her career and does not have time for anything else.

Justin Bieber Asks Fans to Donate $17 for His 17th Birthday

 Justin Bieber is appealing to his fans to donate money to charity to mark his 17th birthday on Tuesday, March 1. The "Baby" hitmaker is forgoing gifts from his devoted fanbase in a bid to raise cash for Charity: Water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

In a post on his fundraising page, he writes, "I have had an incredible year and it is all due to the fans helping me live my dream. So this year, I really want my birthday to be all about helping others. Instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking friends, family and fans to consider donating $17 for my 17th birthday to help make a change."

"Did you know that about 4,500 kids die each day from waterborne disease? By building clean water projects for villages that need them, we can prevent this! of all donations go directly to building clean water projects in developing countries with charity: water, and we'll be able to see photos and GPS of the projects we helped build! I want to make my birthday matter this year - let's make it so more kids can grow up to have a 17th birthday like me. Join me to make a change."

"I'm really so grateful for my family, friends and fans - and I believe we can do something big to help bring clean water to people in need. Even if you don't have $17 to give I just ask you to go out in your community and try and make a positive difference. Even the smallest act of kindness can go a long way."

Bieber set his fundraising target at $17,000 - and had already smashed his aim by Monday night, February 28.

Lindsay Lohan NOT Getting Naked in New Book

 Lindsay Lohan may be struggling to get new job but she is not so desperate that she agrees to get naked in a new book. The actress has been forced to deny the rumor following Daily Mirror's report that she signed a deal worth $3.4 million to appear in the book that will include "full frontal nudity" and "graphic shots".

To Gossip Cop, the troubled actress says the story is "absurd," and confirms that she is indeed doing a book, "but it's not even close to a sex book." She does not share any detail about the book but affirms, "I'm fully clothed in it."

Previously, an insider claimed, "Lindsay is struggling to get another break in Hollywood. There's a stigma attached to working with her and she is determined to change this - starting with the photographic book." The insider went on mentioning that Terry Richardson will take the pictures and James Franco will be featured in the book as well. "Terry Richardson has persuaded Lindsay and James to get involved."

"He has assured them it will be provocative but tasteful. There will be a lot of nakedness - some of it graphic and suggestive - but it will be a real statement book," it was added on Daily Mirror. "Obviously there will be comparisons to Madonna's 1992 'Sex' book. But James and Lindsay believe theirs will be classier." Unlike Lindsay who quickly denies the story, James' camp has not responded to the report.

Lindsay Lohan is recently said to star in a movie titled "Escaping The Game". The project tells a story about "celebrities that make it famous very quickly and can't handle every day life. As a result, they must fake their death to move and live on a hidden Island along with other celebrities that have faked their death in the past."

Sources said she might play alongside Chris Zylka in the movie which is expected to start production in June. Chris' rep gushed, "Chris and Lindsay are excited about the new film they are starring in together and they do have a romantic role together on screen. Other hopes for the film are Helen Mirren and maybe even a role for Justin Bieber."

Rahman loses out at Oscars, Indians disappointed

  India’s celebrated composer A.R. Rahman bagged two Oscar nominations in the original score and original song categories for his work in Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours”, but failed to repeat the success story of 2009 and lost out on both the awards at the 83rd Academy Awards here Sunday night.

Rahman lost the Oscar for best original score to composer duo Trent Rezmor and Atticus Ross who won it for “The Social Network”; the best original song award went to Randy Newman, who won it for “We Belong Together” in “Toy Story 3″.

The composer, popularly known as the Mozart of Madras, also performed at the mega event, being telecast live across the world.

India-born film editor Tariq Anwar, nominated for the Oscar in the best editing category for “The King’s Speech”, couldn’t get the coveted statuette either. He lost out to Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter who won it for “The Social Network”.

“The King’s Speech” walked away will the top honours – best film, best actor for Colin Firth, best director for Tom Hooper and best screenwriter David Seidler.

In 2009, Rahman brought home two golden statuettes for best score and best song in “Slumdog Millionaire”. He was the first Indian to bag two Oscars.

Back home in India, where the awards ceremony was telecast early Monday morning, many woke up, hoping to see Rahman get at least one Oscar.

“At least he should have got one. This is very disappointing,” said Sumit Gupta, a New Delhi-based engineer.

Abhishek, Aishwarya, Mallika dazzle on Oscar red carpet

 Bollywood star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, along with Mallika Sherawat, dazzled in their finery at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards red carpet here.

Abhishek and Aishwarya got a chance invite to the prestigious event, where Hollywood’s Who’s Who gathers to celebrate international cinema. The duo was holidaying in Los Angeles and were not at all prepared to attend such a high-profile event at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood Sunday night.

However, last minute help from their designer friends helped them put their best foot forward at the red carpet.

Aishwarya sparkled in an off-shoulder Armani Prive bronze gown and kept her look minimalistic with just a pair of dangling earrings and hair on one side of the shoulder. Abhishek looked dapper in a traditional, formal black tuxedo.

Mallika, one of the most talked about Bollywood glamour girls, flaunted a sequinned white gown, with a daring front slit and a plunging neckline – just as she likes it always!

Among other Indians at the Oscars this year were composer A.R. Rahman, who was nominated in two categories – best original score and best original song – for his work in Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours”. However, he lost out on both the titles.

Nevertheless, Rahman wore a charcoal Corneliani suit and a blue tie to the red carpet, and took a proud walk with his wife Saira Banu, who chose a beige Indo-western ensemble with a golden Judith Lieber clutch.

2011 Oscar: James Franco in Drag, Anne Hathaway in Tux

 His performance of Cher's "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" may have been scrapped from the rundown, but James Franco managed to channel his inner drag at the Oscars. The host previously was scheduled to sing the "Burlesque" theme but since the movie was not nominated and Franco's voice reportedly was "too horrible", it was scrapped.

Franco, who is no stranger to doing drag, appeared on the stage of 2011 Academy Awards wearing an unflattering pink gown and Marilyn Monroe-style wig. His partner, Anne Hathaway meanwhile took the duty as the man by wearing a tux. They gave what was called "performance comedy" in between the prize-giving.

Hathaway sang to Hugh Jackman who hosted the Oscars in 2009 and was seated on the front row on purpose. She complained how Jackman had ditched her to sing "On My Own" with her when it's her time to host. "He stuck his fake retractable claws into my heart when he left me on my own," one of the lines said in reference to Jackman's role as Wolverine.

Franco meanwhile cracked the expected Charlie Sheen joke, claiming "Weird part is, I just got a text message from Charlie Sheen." The "Two and a Half Men" actor has been making headlines in the days leading to the Oscars with his rants about the TV show's creator Chuck Lorre and his partying ways with prostitutes.

According to previous reports, Franco and Hathaway would go through five costume changes during the entire event.
