Deepika's lover spotted with another girl, Siddharth Mallya spotted with Sophie

Sidhartha Mallya and Sophie Chaudhry made an entry together at Nandita Mahtani's fashion show? The singer-turned-actress seemed comfortable in the company of the Mallya scion. Of course, girlfriend Deepika Padukone, was many miles away. The actress is in Bhopal shooting for her film Aarakshan but that isn't an excuse for Sid to run free and escort other girls to parties, especially a siren like Sophie who is known to enjoy the company of young boys.

Remember her tryst with Bhushan Kumar and Jackky Bhagnani? Also note that Sid and Sophs were bonding at another party too recently, but Dippy was very much around at that time. Maybe there is nothing to worry about it, and it was just a couple of friends hanging out. Or perhaps the Bangalore lad is tired of his girlfriend denying his existence, and decided to jolt things up a bit. And who better to do it with, than with your buddy of over a decade.

Namitha Ready for seduction, Namitha Latest wallpapers, Namitha Photos, Namitha pics

She is worth the material to offer pleasure for any rock material in men. The high energy packed in her voluptuous assets is a full guarantee of satisfaction for audience and that is the reason her Tamil Fans built a temple for this sex goddess. She is none other than buxom babe Namitha.

Apparently, Namitha is seen selecting some meaty roles in her last films getting seduced by young boys or linking affairs with colleagues out of temptation and necessity. The thrilling moments she is portraying on the screen are not pleasing the audience totally. As per the requests from Tamil Fans, Namitha is going for an overdosed eroticism in other way. Instead of getting seduced by others, Namitha wants to seduce them in return. She expressed her readiness to directors in this regard while artists are feared of becoming 'Appadam' crushing beneath her heavy weight properties.

Trisha fades out in Teen Maar

Given the right focus and sincerity of a director in dealing with a correct subject that suits to the image of Pawan Kalyan, hits and super hits are to come easily. Director Jayant C Paranjee pressed the right switch by accepting the remake of ‘Love Aaj Kal’ for producer Ganesh Babu.

The cine folks say Pawan Kalyan charming look in the movie reminds the days of 'Khushi' for his fans. Apparently, when dealing a subject of love story, heroine characters also become important while Trisha and Kriti Kharbanda take the responsibilities. The svelte beauty Trisha is gossiped to have faded out before the energy and gorgeous appearance of Power Star and an inexperienced Kriti is ineligible for discussion. How far Jayant elevated the character of Pawan Kalyan in heroism will decide the final result of 'Teen Maar'. Better these heroines do not become negative for the final success of film.

Heroine Reveals Her Multiple Sex Affair, Sherlyn Chopra, Mona Chopra

Sex is always a divine feeling for many and while some want to experience the sensuous side, there are those who want to see the wild side. Right now, one actress is coming up with statements that are dropping the pants of many men and the jaws of many ladies.

She is none other than Sherlyn Chopra, better known as Mona Chopra. Apparently, the sex bomb was sharing her thoughts recently when she reportedly revealed that she has gone past the stage of having sex with one man. Incidentally, this hot babe is reportedly satisfied only when she has at least 2-3 men at one go.

Those who heard this say it is just one of those bitchy statements to grab some attention. On the other hand, few others feel given the bold (or shall we say shameless) nature of Sherlyn, this doesn’t come as a surprise. Whether Sherlyn has said this or not, the thought surely caught many off-guard and they were unable to react on that.

Sheen, 45, who shares his LA home with bespectacled Natalie Kenly and porn star Rachel Oberlin, both 24, spoke frankly of his life with the women he calls “the Goddesses”.

“The Goddesses rule. They rule the kingdom,” the Sun quoted him as saying in an interview.

“I got a chance to label them before the world did and now they’re the Goddesses. Those two are like the toughest cats in the room.

“We have to have two beds – we’re not amateurs, we’re all adults. It’s very smart and that way no one gets demoted to the couch.

“I met Natty through mutual friends at a little party we had round here and I thought, this one is special. So she stuck around,” he revealed.

British actress Gemma Arterton says she doesn't like to go overboard with cosmetics as she likes the natural look.

"I remember going out and thinking, 'I'm not wearing any mascara and I'm going to an event!' But too much make-up makes me look old," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

Arterton also revealed she gets "nervous" while dressing for the red carpet.

"I can get a bit nervous about what people will say about my outfit when it's a really big event, but under normal circumstances I don't really care.

"In my personal life I love experimenting with fashion, but I have luckily managed to separate my everyday life from my job, so I don't get scrutinised about what I'm wearing on a daily basis."

The fire that broke out in one of the houses in the early evening quickly spread to around 500 houses in the locality. Last night the fire was reported to be spreading due to strong winds blowing into the city.

Bollywood beauty Vidya Balan and leading Bengali band 'Chandrabindoo' were seen sharing the platform together in a city hotel on Friday as they shared their experiences of working together for a new television commercial of hair oil brand Nihar Naturals.

"Working in this commercial for Nihar Natturals was a wonderful experience as the song captured the brand's message to the Bengali woman who are always very intelligent and progressive thinking," Balan said.

Priya Anand's Bikini Act

She is chirpy, she is cheerful and has that glint in her eyes which speak many words. She had a dream debut with a notable young star like Daggubati Rana and managed to make her presence felt in other circuits as well. Her name is Priya Anand and now she is gearing up to reveal her wild side.

News is that Priya will soon be seen in a bikini mode and this will be the proper two-piece and not a regular swimsuit. Inside sources say that tight wraps are being maintained on whether Priya is appearing like this in a special photo shoot or in her upcoming movie.

On the other side, those who heard this news say that Priya has to work towards her sex appeal.

For now, fingers are crossed and all are waiting with bated breath to see this chirpy beauty in the bold avatar.

Neha Dhupia - "No regrets", Neha Dhupia latest wallpapers, Neha Dhupia Photos

Neha Dhupia was admittedly shocked when her film 'Dear Friend Hitler' had to face some casting hassles at the last minute, courtesy the walk out of Anupam Kher who was to play it's central protagonist. She doesn't deny that the initial days were tough for her and though she was continuing with the film, she had doubts around how it would eventually shape up.

"Well yes, I did feel let down. Also, my faith in the film was slightly hampered. After all for me the best known person in the film was Mr. Kher. I did wonder that why would he do something like walk out of a film when we were all so charged to get started," she remembers.

However she doesn't want much attention to go towards this fact and urges audience to look at the movie the way it has shaped out now, courtesy Raghuvir Yadav stepping in instead of Anupam Kher and ensuring that the film reaches it's finishing mark.

Says, "Mr. Kher is a senior actor after all so I am sure he must have given it all some good reasoning. Perhaps he had his own issues with the film. However never once did I feel that unhone aisa kiya hai toh main bhi waisa hi karoongi. In any case it worked well for all. Raghuvir Yadav has been fantastic so no regrets. We were able to make what we were set out for."

Well, we are waiting to have a dekko at that as well Neha.

Ileana Addicted To Alcohol ??, Ileana Latest wallpapers, Ileana addicted to drink Alcohol

It is a common habit to have tea or coffee in the morning as soon as we wake up but in high society, having two or three pegs before going to bed has become the common habit. Especially in the cinema industry this has become a very common fad and there is hardly any teetotaler in the circuit. As the famous saying goes “Aaru Nellu Saavaasam Chesthe Vallu Veellu Ayyaarata” (spending time with a person for six months will make you like that person). That’s why the drinking habit that heroes have got usually tends to spread to the heroines as well.

Usually heroines tend to give ‘company’ to heroes in many matters and now that includes drinking as well. What starts as a fun time company eventually turns out to be a habit and becomes an addiction in no time. The legendary actress Savitri got addicted to alcohol and that’s what gave her a miserable death during her last stages. The reason why we are telling you all this is, reliable sources reveal that the ‘Goa Palakova’ Ileana has become addicted to drinking.

It is heard that as the night falls, a minimum of 4-5 pegs is compulsory or else sleep is not coming to Ileana. This is reportedly worrying her mother Sameera as well. Buzz is that due to this daily drinking Ileana has actually put on this much weight. It is more than a year since Ileana’s ‘Saleem’ has released and her Telugu and Tamil films (one each) have also been stopped. At one point, rumors were making rounds that Ileana’s career is over.

As it is, the competition from Kajal is very strong and as if that is not enough, Ileana is facing trouble in the form of Samantha and Tamannah. They are bagging away all the crazy projects. This is reportedly leading Ileana to depression and it is heard that she has stopped doing exercises and that is leading to changes in her figure size, as per sources.

Morning With Kajal - Evening With Anushka!!

Except Jr NTR, no one has worked with Rajamouli for the second time. He has done three films with the tough taskmaster. Now, after Jr NTR, the credit will be going to Prabhas as he will be working with Rajamouli after ‘Chatrapathi’. This is produced by K Raghavendra Rao and many are saying Prabhas is the luckiest fellow.

Now, Prabhas is also being called as luckiest fellow on Tollywood earth for another reason. The reason is getting a good morning wish- breakfast with Kajal and getting a dinner with good night wish from Anushka. What more does a man need? This is the second time that both Kajal and Anushka are pairing up with Prabhas. Anushka is currently in ‘Rebel’ after having paired up with Prabhas in ‘Billa’.

Similarly, after doing ‘Darling’, Kajal is doing ‘Mr Perfect’ with Prabhas. The notable thing is, both times Prabhas insisted on having these two ladies as his heroines. The shooting for ‘Rebel’ ‘Mr Perfect’ is happening simultaneously and that’s why Prabhas is spending quality time with Kajal and Anushka simultaneously.

Shriya replaces Deepika in Theenmaar, Shriya Saran in Theenmaar, Deepika padukone, Pawan Kalyan Theenmaar

There was a strong gossip that made rounds in Film Nagar circles that Jayant C Paranje had convinced Deepika Padukone to do a special song for his forthcoming film ‘Teennaar’, the remake of a Bollywood hit film ‘Love Aaj Kal’ with Pawan Kalyan, Trisha and Kriti Karbanda in the lead roles.

However, the producer had announced that there is no such proposal and declared that Shriya would shake her legs and hips for a special song. It appears that Shriya used her close association with the Mega family to bag the offer.

It is also learnt that Shriya had agreed to sport a micro mini dress for the song, wore by Deepika in Dum Maaro Dum item song in a film.

Sylvester wants a desi pie

Sylvester Stallone approaches Sajid Nadiadwala to produce his Holly flick

Hollywood's action icon Sylvester Stallone's love for India seems to be continuing post his cameo in the Akshay Kumar-Kareena Kapoor starrer Kambakkht Ishq. Sly now wants to further his association with Bollywood. He is looking to tie up with an Indian filmmaker to make a Hollywood project. Given his association with Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer of his B-Town debut, he has asked him to come on board for an ambitious, big budget movie that will have some high octane action.

Apart from Stallone in the lead, some big names from Hollywood might also roped in for the project, which will be shot in the US as it is a purely Hollywood film and there is no 'Indian' connection to the script.
Nadiadwala will travel to the US shortly to seal the deal.

He confirms, "Yes, Stallone has asked me to partner him and produce a film. It is an honour for me. He is an icon and I would love to do a film with him again."

John Abraham's looking to lose some!

He's a looker, alright! And his bare-rear act has only lead to increased number of casualties around the world!

Get ready to see John in a never-seen-before avatar, with a grungy beard and beefed-up body in Force, which is a remake of a south India blockbuster. He's gained weight and worked hard on his body to look his part, a baddie all over again.

What's interesting though is, John's on a sabbatical to lose some weight and get back to his normal look to maintain the continuity of other assignments. So if he's missing in action, it's only because he's trying to look like the original John again. Well, skinny or beefy, grungy or smooth... we'd take John as he comes, as long as the trunks keep sliding! LOL!

Sallu Bhai's 'Dheela' character, Salman's character is 'dheela'

Salman Khan is currently shooting a song for Ready with choreographers - Raju Khan and Mudassar Khan in Bangkok.

What's interesting about the number is its lyrics – which says something to the tune of the character being dheela (loose). Can't wait to see what steps will match those lyrics.

The song is being shot in Bangkok with 100 dancers who've been especially flown down from Mumbai. Guess this is Khan's way of saying: make mine large.

Hema Malini elected to Rajya Sabha

Veteran Bollywood actor and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nominee Hema Malini was Thursday elected to the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka.

She defeated noted Kannada writer K. Marulasiddappa who contested as an independent with the support of the opposition Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S). The actor won by 106 votes to 94.

The ruling BJP has 106 members, including speaker, in the assembly while Congress-JD-S together have 97.

The poll was held to fill the vacancy created following the death of M. Rajashekara Murthy of the JD-S last December.

Hema Malini would be a member till April, 2012, when Murthy's term would have expired. She was a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha

Vidya's Hot Pants For The Dirty Picture

Vidya Balan will strut her stuff in hot pants in Silk Smitha's biopic The Dirty Picture.

Jittery about her bold outing, Vidya confesses that her nerves are getting the better of her as the rehearsals start. Presently working with the costume designer Niharika Khan, the Filmfare winner will be seen wearing lots of tight clothes, the shorter the better.

Turning the conservative Vidya we know into the bold Smitha is sure going to be a task. Director Milan Luthria, however, thinks that the talented actress is in safe hands.

After getting a feel of her sensual side in Ishqiya, Luthria feels that Vidya has it in her to portray the Southern siren like none other.

Shahid gifted Helmet by Priyanka Chopra, Priyanka gifts Shahid a helmet

Are they on? Are they off? Are they on a break? Phew! That's Shahid and Priyanka for you.

While one keeps hearing of their lover's tiffs, fall-outs and sweet somethings, this couple has definitely kept the media on its toes! Last heard, Sasha and PC had a big blow up and decided to part ways. A couple of days later, on Shahid's birthday, he said, "Of course I'm missing Priyanka at my party".

Wow, where did that come from, Sasha? He also confessed that PC had gifted him a helmet on his birthday. Hmnnn... we wonder what signal this gal is trying to send out... and while we can think of a zillion such reasons (and some naughty ones too), we'd like to think she's just trying to tell Shahid...'play it safe'. Lol!

Sonakshi Has Her Eyes On Ranveer

The Dabangg girl seems to have the hots for Band Baaja Baraat munda, which was quite obvious on Koffee With Karan.

She couldn't stop gushing about the newbie, letting us know how she would love to date him if he was 'single'.

When KJo mentioned it to Ranveer's current girlfriend Anushka Sharma, who was with him in the hot seat the following week, she retorted, "He is all yours. Please go ahead."

What say, Ranveer?

Hrithik has a fan in Aamir

He plays 'guru' and Godfather to many in the business, and to think that one of the finest actors in Bollywood needs a guru is kinda unbelievable.

Well, it is true...Aamir has found himself a new guru. Blame it on his penchant for perfection if you please, Aamir leaves no stone unturned to get his act right. We recently spotted him at the launch of Sussanne Roshan's new store and asked him about his preparations for Dhoom 3. He promptly said, "I want to take tips from Hrithik.

He's a great actor". For those who are missing the point, Aamir is going to take over as the baddie in Dhoom 3, which was superbly essayed by Hrithik in Dhoom 2. So, none better than the Roshan boy can train him in the perfect bad-boy act (even if a lip-lock is missing in this one). Well AK, we know you are the 'God of Acting', etc (as labeled by some lovelies in B-town), but one thing we'll sorely miss in Dhoom 3 is Hrithik's Greek God good-looks. You can't match that one, can you?

Saif likes me in a bikini: Bebo, Saif Likes Kareena in Bikini

Kareena Kapoor is undoubtedly one of the most versatile actresses of the decade gone by. But it is Bebo's sex appeal that comes up for discussion at regular intervals.

On being asked why even the most recognised actresses crave for titles like sexy and hot, Bebo in her candid style says, "I love being called sexy. But then I'm equally charged about being recognised as a good actress. In my case, I first won notices for my work and then when the size zero phase happened, people started noticing my physical attributes. To me, the important fact is that I have got recognition as an actor. Now being called pretty, sexy, hot, powerful or any such thing is also flattering."

Ms Sensuous Kapoor, however, has vowed not to wear bikinis on screen anymore. And her reasons for this decision are surprising. One would imagine it is her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan who had put a spoke in the wheel. But Bebo says, "The bikini is a highly overrated garment. For me it has lost its' novelty. I have worn it twice on screen. In Tashan (2008) and in Kambakkht Ishq (2009). However my fans preferred me in Jab We Met (2007), 3-Idiots (2009) and Golmaal-3 (2010) where I stayed steered clear of exposing. I don't have the patience to go through the whole regimen that needs to be in place for your body to look bikini-perfect. So I've decided that I will not wear a bikini on screen again."

The actress however admits that we will get to see a flash of thigh and cleavage in some of her upcoming movies. Says Kareena, "The songs of RA.1 are hot, but in Bodyguard there is no skin show. In Agent Vinod too there is more style and pizzazz than any actual exposure. In Short Term Shaadi I'm playing a bohemian character."

Oh, and what are Saif's views on her decision not to wear bikini again? Does he also share her fans' view point? Flashing a naughty smile, her brown-eyes twinkling with laughter, Bebo says, "Saif likes me in a bikini. He has no issues with it. Saif actually prefers me glamourous. He liked me in Kambakkht Ishq; he thought I was very hot in it. He says that it is his personal choice but he doesn't necessarily want me to abide by it. Saif likes it when I use a bit of make-up and dress fashionably rather than when I step out looking like a plain-Jane."

Has Courteney Cox got a boob job?

Actress Courteney Cox’s bustier new look has sparked rumours that she has gone under the knife.

The former ‘Friends’ star showed off her bikini body while filming scenes for ‘Cougar Town’ in Hawaii.

And it looks like the green two-piece was either boasting some uplifting padding, or the star has taken more drastic measures to boost her bust, reports the Daily Mail.

Either way, her noticeably fuller curves were catching the attention of her hunky co-star, who was also showing off his toned figure.

The mother-of-one was frolicking poolside with her Cougar pal Josh Hopkins, who had also stripped off down to his swimming trunks.

Her on-set love interest gave Courtney a kiss as she lounged in the sun while her other co-star Brain Van Holt kept close by too.

Courtney’s rumoured love interest Van Holt, who plays her on-screen ex-husband Bobby Cobb, was spotted on the beach in Oahu in his underwear.
