‘Kambakht Ishq’ in trouble for use of foul language
Promos of Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kambakht Ishq’ starring Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Carmen Electra, Sylvester Stallone and some other Hollywood stars have landed in trouble for the use of foul language where both the lead stars call each other canine names. Its shows Kareena calling Akki a dog and in turn he calls her a bitch. Apart from this scene, there is also a line indicating that women are only meant for making love.
The people in the Censor Board were obviously not very happy with this and as a result they have given it an A Certificate. Consequently, the film’s promo cannot be shown on TV. Sajid Nadiadwala, who is currently abroad, is gearing up to confront the board when he return to India.
Says, Vinayak Azad, Regional Officer, Censor Board, “Yes, we have given the promos an A Certificate because I found it very inappropriate.”
“Kareena calls Akshay a dog and in turn he calls her a bitch. Apart from this scene, there is also a line indicating that women are only meant for making love. I found that very inappropriate, because in a promo you can’t understand the context of the scene as we have not yet seen the film,” he added.

Asin charged with aide's abuse
"The concerned person N. Muthu Kumar has left my employment and we informed the police immediately. Other accusations are false," the actress said in a statement Thursday.
According to S. Vadivu, her son Kumar was employed with Asin for four years.
"I am worried as Asin's father Joseph said that Kumar was sacked after he joined the Mumbai underworld several days ago. While my search in Mumbai was fruitless, the facts do not add up because Kumar told me over phone sometime back that he was likely to quit after the actress abused him over his physical handicap," Vadivu told IANS.
Greater Chennai Police Commissioner Sangram Jangid said: "The issue is being blown out of proportion by a section of the press. The complaint has been forwarded to the appropriate authorities and there is nothing more to it."
Asin is currently shooting for "London Dreams" as the female lead with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan.

Full marks to the creative team as well as the (Lucky) photographer and also to the (Luckiest) camera to have caught this actress' mind blowing expressions, which are totally priceless! Although one must admit that the cover does make Priyanka resemble the lovely Sophie Lauren at the first go, but it's the Desi girl's desi-ness that brings her exclusive charm to the picture. And it is this Chopra girl, who simply has the year 2009 tailor made written for her, thanks to the multitude of releases that she has got this year.
All in all, this Power-packed issue of L'Officiel really lives up to the tagline of 'The Power Issue'.
‘Saifeena for Metro 2? ridiculous!’
Anurag Basu the director who shot to fame after making Life... In A Metro, has put an end to rumours about him casting Saifeena in a sequel to the movie. When BT contacted him, the director, who didn’t seem very pleased about the news, clarified, “I have no intention of making a sequel to Metro. In fact, I have shelved the project for good, so news of me approaching Saif and Kareena for it is ridiculous.”
Remind him that he had once been very keen to make a sequel to the movie and Anurag says, “Yes, we did announce it. But in the past two years, a few movies were made along the same lines with ensemble casts. So, we decided to put the idea of having a sequel to Metro on the back burner.”
The director, who has recently wrapped up the Barbara Mori- and Hrithik Roshan-starrer Kites, is, however, open to working with Saif and Kareena. “They’re wonderful people, but so far there is no specific story or film, in which I can cast them. However, Saif and I have met a couple of times to figure out what can we do together. That is also not easy considering that Saif now has his own production house,” says Anurag.
Mugdha is high on Fashion
Life certainly came full circle for Mugdha Godse this week, as the model-turned-actress returned to the ramp on the first day of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week.
And her stint in Bollywood seems to have only upped her sizzle quotient. Looking glamorous in a vibrant saree, Mugdha was the talking point of the day. When we caught up with her after the show, the actress said that she was particularly pleased with what she got to wear. “I really love colourful prints and I’m glad that I got to wear a saree for the show. Mujhe iss saree ke rangon ne chaka-chaundh kar diya. And I am also happy about the fact that I got back to the ramp.” To use a cliché, how did it feel? “I was ecstatic. I’d been waiting for this high for a long time. Each time I walk the ramp, I get a high,” she says.
And how special was the ramp walk, post Fashion? “Life has been treating me very well post Fashion. People want to see more of me, they are appreciating my work and I’m feeling nice about it. I have to say that it is double the responsibility for me, though. Walking the ramp after having worked in Fashion was very different. That did give me a high – but of a different kind,” she says.
What was the difference? “Till I was only a model, I used to see actresses being brought in especially for shows, but today, I was the showstopper myself! It was very different and all that I can say is, life can change,” she says. Looking back, did she feel awkward when celebrities were asked to walk the ramp when she was a model? “I used to see showstoppers, but at that point in time, I was just busy doing my own thing. I only wanted to put my head down and work and better myself as a model. But now, I feel very different. Modelling and acting are two very different jobs and they require me to do very different things,” she says.
But getting back to the green room also means that Mugdha’s back amongst her old friends. And she’s very excited about touching base with them again, saying, “I’ve met some of my friends and they were all very happy to see me. In fact, I’m going to attend some parties and catch up with a whole lot of others as well. It’s good to be back!” As for her future plans, Mugdha says that she has other films in the pipeline too. “Filhaal I’m doing Madhur’s Jail and an untitled Ajay Devgan production, which is being directed by Rohit Shetty,” she says.
'I haven’t been asked to shave my head'
She may be known for her trademark curly locks, but Kangna Ranaut has no qualms shaving them off if the right role presented itself. But the actress denies that she’s getting paid Rs 1 crore to go bald for a Tamil film.
“Yes, I am working on a Tamil film, but I haven’t been asked to shave my head for it. But I’d give my left arm to be able to play such a character. Going bald is no big deal for me and if I’m required to do so, I won’t hesitate to do it,” says Kangna.
Rick Roy, who has styled Kangna in the past and will be doing two more projects with her, says, “Kangna believes in putting every effort to get the character she’s playing right even if it requires her to shave off her hair. She is not very particular about her curly hair and likes experimenting with it,” says Rick, who believes that the actress will be able to carry the bald look off gracefully.
Ranbir stars in Home Alone Part 5!
Hold your horses and get set for the next series of Home Alone.
From our very own Bollywood, starring the dashing young Ranbir Kapoor. We present to you Home Alone Part Five. Okay, okay, jokes apart, the fact is that Ranbir is gonna be home alone for nearly a month. This is quite a change for this lad, who always has mommy dearest doting on him.

We did try to scoop around a bit, and all we found is goody boy at home. Yeah, he’s had a few house parties, nothing wild really, just a boys night at home kinda stuff. Well, looks like yeh maa ka laadla bigad nahin gaya! Hai na, Neetuji?

Katrina ready for serious cinema
"This year I would like to allocate time to big films. The kind of films I am doing - Rajneeti and Ajab Prem are a little more difficult. They need time and also a little more thought process," Katrina told IANS. The films are slated for release this year.
In Ajab Prem,. Katrina shares screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Upen Patel, while in Rajneeti she stars alongside a host of actors including Ranbir, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai.
Katrina says that Santoshi's dedication and "knack for making his actors win national awards" is something that makes her want to work hard for his film.
"Ajab Prem is a very different film. Rajji is a taskmaster on the sets and the results of that are visible. I need to dedicate enough time and attention to this film because I think the movie is going to be very special and very important for me. It's nothing like I have done before," said the 24-year-old actress.
Katrina shares similar sentiments for Jha, who has helmed films like Gangaajal and Apaharan in the past.
"Prakash Jha is highly intelligent and highly interested in his project. A film like Rajneeti is not something where I can just jump and say - 'Sir, my hair is done, my costume is done and I'm ready', something I can do in most films that are comic capers.
"For films like his, one has to research clothes. I can't decide on my own what I want to wear or what I would prefer. I have to follow the character I am playing. Rajneeti is a very grounded, a very rooted film, and so I am going to be dedicating a little more time as the project requires it," she said.
In Rajneeti, Katrina sports a simple and de-glamourised look in a crisp cotton sari and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Although the look bears a resemblance to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, the director has denied that her role has anything to do with the senior leader.
Though Katrina has mostly starred in comedies like Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng, Partner and Welcome in her over five-year-old career, she says she "might not be doing another comedy, fun, masti film very dedicatedly any time soon".
“There’s room in my heart for Abhishek”: Kareena
She adds, “I got launched with Abhishek, irrespective of whatever issues are there today, and that’s engraved for life because that was a special moment in my life. If he doesn’t want me to be in a film with him it’s okay. Co-stars have to feel comfortable with each other. You cannot work together if one person is uncomfortable.”
What's BUZZING in Bollywood
Of painting the town red, lovely looking ladies and few good looking men.
Happy Threesome
Adhyayan Suman was flanked by his co-stars of Jashnn, Anjana Sukhani and Shahana Goswami. He announced the launch of his website so he can interact with his growing number of fans. We really like Shahana’s chic dressing style. Her bright shirt suits her really well complimenting her skin perfectly. We wish Anjana dressed with a little more seriousness and looked less like a college girl. Adhyayan should button up!
Not Tedha Medha
Gul Panag is the centre of attention at the premiere of her film Straight. While she looks as pretty as ever; with her glowing skin and pretty white dress, why is Vinay Pathak sporting the scruffy look? We like Anuj Choudhry’s casual look.
New couple
Aftab Shivdasani and Aamna Shariff make their red carpet entry for the premiere of Aloo Chaat. We like Aamna’s soft pink shaded dress and her clutch compliments her gown well. Aftab should have chosen something lighter and not so shiny.
Sexy In A Sari
The three gorgeous ladies, Shahana Goswami, Nandita Das and Tisca Chopra, strike a pose for Das’ directorial debut, Firaaq. We are pleasantly surprised by the glow on Tisca’s face. Her earrings are big and beautiful too. Nandita’s bright pink sari blouse suits her perfectly. Shahana could not look better!
Lady in Red
Asin is the woman of the hour! She is the brand ambassador of a fairness cream. We love her piercing red satin dress and those lovely intense red peep toes. If only the background wasn’t as red, it would not have hurt out eyes!
