Katrina Kaif has taken a dig at heroes who are much older than her in age. She says she is far more comfortable working with actors of her age. The older-men club includes Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, as both the actors are quite older to her.
"I don't think anyone will mind if I say it's very different working with older heroes because the age difference is about 20 years, and just about two to three years with the younger heroes with whom you can be mischievous," she said.
Though Salman has been her boyfriend for several years, the actress realised this now that the age-gap is far too wide between the two.
On SRK she said: "I don't know what it will be like working with Shah Rukh but I have heard that he makes his heroines comfortable".
Walt Disney Pictures have shut down the production of Johnny Depp-starring adventure film "The Lone Ranger" due to budgetary issue. It was said that director Gore Verbinski and the production team have tried to reduce the budget from $250 million to $232 million, but it is still far from the $200 million the studio wanted the project to spend.
Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Iger said in a statement on Tuesday, August 9 that the Burbank studio are very concerned to film budgets. "It's our intention to take a very careful look at what films cost," he said.
Iger went on explaining, "And if we can't get them to a level that we're comfortable with, we think that we're better off actually reducing the size of our slate than making films that are bigger and increasingly more risky."
Beside the budgetary problem that made Verbinski clash with the executives of Disney, it was reported that the studio also considered although the project involves a big star like Depp, the genre which highlights a Western theme is not suitable for the studio. "The fact that it's a Western is a definite concern," said a source to The HollywoodReporter.
"The Lone Ranger" was dubbed as a potential big film coming out at the end of 2012. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the project has locked Depp to play Tonto and Armie Hammer as the titular character.
This is actually not the first time Verbinski gets involved in a disagreement with Disney. He previously clashed the executives of the studio over the cost for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End". The problem led him to walk out from the franchise and not direct "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides".
One lucky guido got a personal treat from Britney Spears. "Jersey Shore" star DJ Pauly D who opens for a number of the pop star's concerts got up close to her when she used him as part of her lap dance act.
Pauly D was first handcuffed to the pole on top of a convertible. The "Femme Fatale" singer then seductively teased him with a straight look before putting a pink feathered boa on his shoulder. Britney continued by sitting on top of his shoulders from the back while clutching on the pole.
Taking Pauly D away from the stage on the car, Britney playfully told her audience, "He's never coming back!" Pauly D tweeted on Thursday, August 11 night, "Wow, just got a lap dance on stage from Britney Spears" and linked a photo of the act.
There's a possibility that the act was recorded for Pauly D's reality show which is a spin-off to "Jersey Shore".
Though she is famous for her bizarre outfits, Lady GaGa dressed down and went normal for one night. The "Bad Romance" hitmaker traded fishnets, latex and colored wigs with a simple black dress and a pair of chic pumps when she stepped out in Los Angeles on early Friday morning, August 12.
Turning head with her sophisticated look, the 25-year-old wore a one-shoulder black dress with yellow and purple tulip design on one side by Versace. She completed her look with a black clutch bag, big sunglasses and sky-high Christian Louboutin pumps. The "You and I" singer let her long blonde hair swept elegantly down her right.
GaGa was at the time spotted leaving a recording studio at 2 A.M. on Melrose Avenue. Us Magazine, in the meantime, reported that she was exiting La Maison De Fashion boutique. Earlier in the evening, the Grammy winner enjoyed dinner at Crustacean Restaurant in Beverly Hills. She reportedly munched on garlic noodles, surf and turf rolls, and crab dishes.
Miranda Cosgrove, the 18-year-old star of Nickelodeon's iCarly TV show, broke her ankle when her tour bus crashed on Thursday, her spokeswoman said.
Cosgrove has postponed her "Dancing Crazy" North American tour until further notice because of the crash, the spokeswoman said in a statement.
"Miranda Cosgrove's tour bus was involved in an accident early this morning in Illinois on I-70, just outside of Vandalia. There were five passengers on the bus, and Miranda suffered a broken ankle," she said.
"We are told everyone will be fine. Because of this, her tour is postponed until further notice," the statement said.
The singer and actress kicked off the second leg of her debut solo tour in Ohio in July and it was due to end in Arizona in October before moving on to Brazil in November.
iCarly, in which Cosgrove plays a teenager who creates her own web show, first aired in 2007 and has since won five Kids' Choice Awards.
Singer, dancer, snappy dresser, and now it turns out Justin Bieber is a matchmaker, too? The Baby hitmaker is using Twitter to try and convince Kendall Jenner to go out with his 16-year-old friend and music producer Julian Swirsky.
On Tuesday morning he wrote: "Hey @Kendalljenner you should let my boy @iamjulkeyz take you on a date ;)"
Kendall, who is Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian's half-sister, is down with it as long as Justin and girlfriend Selena Gomez come along. Kendall wrote back: "Only if you & @selenagomez join! :)"
Kendall is an up-and-coming model who recently signed on to a swimsuit campaign with Australian designer Leah Madden. If this thing happens, we're guessing Justin is about to swamped with friends asking for a few favors with the ladies.
On Tuesday afternoon Julian, who has more than 100,000 Twitter followers of his own, chimed in: "@kendalljenner are you choosing the restaurant?"
Congratulations, Jennifer Lopez. You're going back to Hollywood!
American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe confirmed the news Wednesday morning while appearing on Idol host Ryan Seacrest's syndicated radio show. Seacrest asked the producer: "Do you want to do the Jennifer announcement or are we still waiting?"
To which Lythgoe replied: "I believe we're still waiting for the official announcement, but I am delighted to say that all three judges, along with the brilliant host of American Idol, is back for the next season."

Robert Pattinson feels terrible about the damage he did during his steamy honeymoon scenes with Kristen Stewartwhile filming the upcoming fourth Twilight movie. While Kristen came through unscathed, he can't say as much for the bed linens.
"I wanted to have it as a line so much: 'I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One.' And then he'd start crying," Rob jokingly told Entertainment Weekly of filming his first onscreen sex scene with Kristen. "By the way, that's what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! I ruined this bed!"
Based on Rob's comments, it sounds like the Breaking Dawn movie is staying faithful to the book. Fans have publicly worried that the movie's PG-13 rating will mean a watered-down version of the sex scene where Edward demolishes their bed. Well good news, fans. It sounds like the feathers and splinters will both be flying!
For Kristen's part, she told the magazine the movie's much-talked-about wedding scene was a strange experience for her.
"It's a trip to watch the wedding scenes, especially," she said. "It was so volatile and emotional -- I was being such a crazy person."
We can't wait to see how that translates onscreen. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 hits theaters November 18th.
Britney Spears is honoring the legends in a new commercial for 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. A white poster bearing words "Billy Jean", "Like a Virgin" and "Hit Me 1 More X" is seen hanging on the wall of a club where she's DJing and partying all night long. "[They're] the people I've grown up listening to and totally inspire [me]," she says.
In addition to paying homage to Michael Jackson and Madonna, she also salutes Janet Jackson. Her song "Rhythm Nation" is one of the backsounds in the promo ad dubbed "A Tribute to Britney Spears". Those classics are mashed up with Britney's popular singles like "Slave 4 U" and "I Wanna Go".
The video opens with her standing in front of the mirror and writing down number "7" on it. "I'm representing how many albums I've done," she gushes. "I'm walking down a hallway and I'm seeing memorabilia of all my performances that I've done in the past. All my dancers are dressed up in my old outfits, which it's really cool."
This year, Britney receives two nods at the VMAs, thanks to her "Till the World Ends" music video. She is vying for Best Pop Video against Adele, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Pitbull, and is competing for Best Choreography against Beyonce Knowles, Lady GaGa, LMFAO and Bruno.
2011 MTV VMAs will be held in a live telecast at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on August 28. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Adele and Bruno have been confirmed as performers. Jonah Hill, Rick Ross, Selena Gomez, Seth Rogen, Kim Kardashian and Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All are tapped as presenters.
Kelly Clarkson has a new single coming out by the end of this month. Rumor has it, the former winner of "American Idol" has sent a song called "Mr. Know It All" to radios and set it to make its airwave debut on August 30.
According to a review from 104.3MYfm, the song is amazing. "Kelly still has the huge powerful voice, but does some new things with it and incorporates some great drum beats and tempo," it was elaborated further on the radio's official website.
Addressing whether or not the song is among the 50 materials which leaked from Kelly's folder earlier this year, they stated, "I heard the leak a few months ago, and let me tell you this is not it!" They then continued giving further hint on what to expect from the song by writing, "The background has a 'Just the Way You Are' sound and I instantly compared the vocal to Pink, with how raspy Kelly tries to go with it."
Beside focusing on her own album, Kelly has also worked on a side project with her backup singers Jill and Kate. They form a trio under the moniker of Already Famous and have already hit studio together. They said, "We've been writing & singing together 4 over 4 years so we thought why not record it. We love singing harmony!"

Inside the edition, Stewart talked about shooting the wedding scene for "Breaking Dawn". She said, "It's a trip to watch the wedding scenes especially. It was so volatile and emotional - I was being such a crazy person."
Meanwhile, Pattinson confessed that he ruined the bed during the sex scene. "I wanted to have it as a line so much. [In an American/Edward accent] I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One. And then he'd start crying. By the way, that's what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! [Laughs] I ruined this bed!" he said.
Entertainment Weekly has got its hand on the first official picture from "J. Edgar". It features lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover in a scene where he delivers a speech. Looking fierce, he suits up in a grey outfit with many other men in the background.
DiCaprio dons prosthetic makeup to portray the first director of FBI during his elderly years. "To me, it's really a story of how absolute power corrupts absolutely," the "Inception" actor gushes about the film, before adding, "He was always an outsider."
Directed by Clint Eastwood, the biopic will trace "Hoover's life from his childhood in Washington, D.C., through his ascent to power in the 1920s, his 50-year reign over the FBI, and his death in 1972." It is set for a limited release on November 9 in the U.S., before expanding to theaters across the nation on November 11.
Naomi Watts, Armie Hammer, Ed Westwick and Judi Dench additionally support the drama film.
Taylor Swift has premiered a music video filmed to support her latest single "Sparks Fly". The country music cutie gives her devotees a "Speak Now" tour experience in the clip by compiling footage from her ongoing traveling show across the United States.
The thrills are shared in a number of elaborate sets involving floating balconies, glittery costume changes and acrobatic routines by aerialists. Still, all eyes are on Swift who is strutting her stuff, wiping her blonde hair and twirling around the stage in high spirit.
Cameras, cell phones and glow sticks flash among the screaming crowd, but it was the firework set off around the venue that lights up the night. The performances previewed in the clip include "Speak Now", "Back to December" and "Mean".
Taylor Swift will stay on the road until November 22. After performing on August 10 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, she will resume the tour on August 13 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are not calling off their divorce. The estranged couple sparked report of a possible reconciliation after TMZ brought out a photo of the two sharing the backseat of a red Mustang convertible in Long Island. Representative for both stars, however, was quick to deny.
Reacting to the photo taken near Sagg Main Beach in Southampton, New York on Wednesday, August 10, Marc's rep told the gossip site the Latin crooner was on the East Coast visiting his children. J.Lo's rep, in the meantime, came out with a stronger statement, "They are NOT back together - they were just visiting each other and the children."
Another related report suggested that Marc is desperate to win J.Lo back. "His mood shifts from blaming her to begging her to take him back to telling her she is destroying his life," an insider told Us Weekly. It was further noted that Marc was also "being difficult on every little point" of their impending divorce, because he "wants to prolong things so she reconsiders."
Marc and J.Lo revealed their decision to end their seven years of marriage in mid-July. In a joint statement, the parents of twins Emme and Max said, "This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time."
Production for Zack Snyder-directed "Man of Steel" has been set in motion. An on-set footage recently hit the web, giving a sneak peek at a tornado scene which was recently filmed at the Sugar Grove area near Plano, Illinois.
Some huge fans were seen being set on the side of the road supposedly to give a tornado effect. According to narration provided by the person who secretly took the video from behind the bushes, Kevin Costner who plays Jonathan Kent is involved in the filming. Instead of running away, he is seen walking in the direction of the storm.
Words are, next on Snyder's schedule after the tornado scene is the filming of some big action scenes in Valley West Community Hospital. A source told ComicBookMovie that they will have windows in the building blacked out, but would stage no real major explosions.
"Nothing will be big there because they can't actually blow up the hospital. So they're just going to be using some controlled and smaller pyro's and then digitally altering it to make it look like a big explosion took place," the insider dished on.
The source furthermore talked about the bank vault which is featured in the background of the first official still. "Oh, it's real. The bank is real. It is being wired with explosives, too and will feature a massive military rumble involving Zod and Faora. The direction of that scene will be done from more of a distance because of explosives, just like the 7-Eleven," it was revealed.
Talking about the Superman, the source said, "[He] learns of certain powers that he has where a glass starts shaking and then breaks. Snyder was very specific and provided a lot of detail about how this was to be done. It will all be controlled with pyrotechnics with certain holes drilled at certain depths and multiple blasts to make the total effect."
Starring Henry Cavill as Clark/Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane, the film which is directed by Zack Snyder will hit theaters in 2013. It promises to ramp up the action of its esteemed predecessor "Superman Returns", and to raise the stakes and take the audience to heights of action that no other superhero movie can achieve.
