Deepika Padukone has dinner at the PM’s residence
Deepika Padukone has a huge fan following around the world and what would be a better proof to this than the fact that Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and his wife Miyuki Hatoyama are a big fan of Deepika.
When they were in India, they expressed their desire to meet Deepika and what followed was a grand dinner in the honor of the Japanese PM and his wife in which the pretty lady gave company to Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and his ministers at the PM’s residence. Dressed in a saree by Manish Malhotra, the dusky beauty carried herself with poise and grace at the event.
Not to mention here that Deepika was just too pleased at this honor. She said, “It is a privilege and honour for me to be invited for this dinner. I am excited and nervous at the same time.”
Later, Hatoyama, who happens to be a big Bollywood fan, also went around exploring the Film City, Goregoan and visited other movie sets as well.
Did Katrina fly to New York for Ranbir?
After the two came close to each other while shooting for ‘Azab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ and post the unofficial split of Ranbir Kapoor with Deepika Padukone, the rumors of his affair with Katrina Kaif is doing rounds from quite some time.when it was found out that Katrina, who was supposed to be with her family in London, was actually in New York where co-incidentally Ranbir is there shooting for Sajid Nadiawala’s film ‘Anjaana Anjaani’.
However Katrina is quick to dismiss all rumours. She said, “I’m very much in London. It’s a joke in my family about me being in New York because I’m harassed by many calls.”
It may also be mentioned here that Katrina missed Salman Khan’s birthday on a plea of being with her family in London to usher the New Year.

Top chartbusters of 2009
The year 2009 had been a great year for the music lovers as the industry churned out various hits each with a different style ranging from soft romantic numbers to rustic numbers, youthful songs to fun-filled light music. Let us have a look at the songs which topped the music charts in the year which is dying off.
Masakalli
Oozing freshness in every way, this expressive number from A.R.Rehman swept the music lovers off their feet. This fun-filled light number from the film ‘Delhi-6′ sung by Mohit Chauhan is still a hot favorite of music channels.
Dhan Te Nan
This edgy, energetic, and rustic number from ‘Kaminey’ has a touch of rock to it. Composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the song has been sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Vishal Dadlani. This rocking number has topped the music charts of 2009.
Tera Hone Laga Hoon
This is by far the most romantic and soothing number of 2009. Pakistani Singer Atif Aslam has sung this song with Alsiha Chinoi. Pritam has composed a beautiful love ballad for the recently released film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’.
All Izz Well
This youthful, campus number from ‘3 Idiots’ has given a perfect ending to the year. This fun track has raw energy and is filled with whistles in the background. Sung by Sonu Niigaam, Swanand Kirkire and Shaan and composed by Shantanu Moitra, it is a hot favorite among all music channels.
Salman Khan to hunt for real life unsung heroes
Bollywood star Salman Khan turns 44 this Sunday and as he awaits the release of his forthcoming period film ‘Veer’, he has launched a nationwide hunt for unsung heroes as to connect with the masses and also promote his flick.
This step comes as a natural following from Aamir Khan’s Bharat Darshan programme for the promotion of ‘3 Iditos’. So, there comes a hunt from Sallu Bhai for young men and women who have performed heroic deeds which the nation doesn’t know about.
Veer producer Vijay Galani confirmed the news saying, “You’ve heard correctly. Salman is launching a contest to find real-life unsung heroes. Since he has played the hero so often on screen, he feels real-life heroes deserve to be brought out of anonymity. We’ll be going to the remotest corners of India to select these unknown heroes. Finally one of them will be given the Veer cup personally by Salman at a function in Mumbai.”
’Veer’ has newcomer Zarine Khan opposite Salman. Other stars in the pivotal roles include former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus, Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff along with Sohail Khan and Bharat Dabholkar.
Vidya Balan takes up another challenging role
Vidya Balan is one actress in our industry who has constantly been under criticism for her mature looks and bad dressing sense, but at the same time, there is not one critic who has ever found any flaw in the characters played by her. Always up and ready for the challenging roles, she impressed everyone with the mature handling of her character in ‘Paa’ and now will again be seen in a totally different role of a earthy village woman in ‘Ishqiya’ with Naseruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi.
“I play a village belle,” she explains, “Yet I’m fully aware of my sexual charms and within the four walls of the bedroom, I’m unapologetic about using my guile and charm.’’
Yet again she has signed up to play Sabrina Lal, Jessica’s sister, in the movie ‘No One Killed Jessica’. “Yes, I am playing Sabrina Lal in Rajkumar Gupta’s film,” she said, “The minute I heard the role, I wanted to do it. It’s my first biographical role and a big challenge. I’ll be meeting Sabrina shortly.”
As the name suggests, the movie is based on the murder of Jessica Lal in 1999 which exposed the nepotism, inequality and corruption prevalent in Indian society.

Emraan Hikes His Price to Even Family
After Jannat, Emraan Hashmi hiked his price to astronomical levels even to his own family. According to media reports, Emraan is demanding the Bhatts the same money he is charging others.
If we see Bhatts’ history, they never entertain superstars, and if Emraan continues this way, he will surely be kicked out of the Bhatt camp.
Let’s wait for the release of ‘Raaz – The Mystery Continues’ as fortunes change every Friday in Bollywood.
Check out these exclusive photos of Emraan Hashmi from Filmfare Magazine’s latest issue.
Now You Can Interact with Ranbir Kapoor
Bollywood’s current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor launched his official Website recently at a grand event. The event was attended by Sikander Kher and Mughda Godse.
When every actor has an official website, why should our Ranbir stay behind? So he made a website www.myranbirkapoor.com and added everything about himself. He even has ‘Wall of Fame’… yeah, even I know that it is too early.
Anyways, you can find his childhood photos, family photos, movie photos and much more in his website.
So all your Ranbir Kapoor fans, don’t crash his server by visiting at the same time 
Big B Caught Carrying a Gun at Airport
Amitabh Bachchan was caught carrying a gun in his hand baggage at Mumbai Airport. The police claim that he was carrying a Gun which had a different number from his license. Finally, Big B gave up his gun, and flew to Pune to film a Bollywood movie Teen Patti.
I respect Amitabh Bachchan as an actor, but how on earth did he think that he can carry a gun on a plane. The police are complaining about the registration number crap, but what about the main issue? As far as I know, a civilian can not carry a weapon while flying.
If it was some normal person, like you and me, he would have been behind the bars in no time… Big B was let to fly without any delay.
Indian police should be lauded for their effort!
Subhash Ghai Needs a Reality Check
Subhash Ghai thinks that the failure of his Salman Khan starrer movie Yuvvraaj is because of his staff, so the showman fired them and is looking for fresh minds.
Subhash Ji, the failure of Yuvvraaj is not because of your staff, it is because of your outdated script, terrible direction and horrible casting. Probably they resigned the job, because who would like to work with a bankrupt filmmaker. So stop saying in the media that you fired them because it is making you look stupid.
First Look: Kites
Here is the first look poster of Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori starrer Kites.
I have no idea why the leading lady, Kangana Ranaut, is kept away from the promotion. As you can see… she is nowhere to be seen in the first look poster. She was not taken to the Cannes film festival, where Hrithik and Barbara were seen behaving like childhood lovebirds.
Hrithik and his dad should know that foreign stars don’t do well here… it’s our desi stars who make the movie a hit. And Kangana Ranaut is definitely a big star now after the success of Fashion and Raaz.
Hope Kites does not turn out to be a Marigold. Remember the Salman Khan and Ali Larter starrer?

SRK rescues Asin from getting mobbed
Asin was backstage and as she was about to get ready to go on stage, a mob of about 300 people gathered around her, some of them getting too close to her. The actress had no security around her apart from her spokesperson.
Fortunately, SRK was godsent for her as he spotted her and immediately came for rescue. He came along with his bodyguards and reached Asin piercing the crowd. The bodyguards instantly formed a circle around Shahrukh and Asin and whisked them away from the maddening crowd.
SRK even calmed and consoled Asin, who was shocked by the incident. He talked to her for sometime and even advised her to keep a few security guards for all public functions.

We had the poor villagers all around while shooting who would not get proper water etc and here I had horse-eating biscuits all the time. But I made sure huge biscuit packets also came for the all children there.”
On an occasion Salman had to narrate about his favorite horse he said, “In between shooting for Veer, Laxmi was shooting on some other film when she fell into a pond and nearly died. After healing, she came back to shoot with me for Veer. This time she was scared and shy, especially with strangers, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of her fear. By the time we were done with the shoot of the film, everybody had become so attached to their horses that we used to talk to them more than with each other!”

Bollywood celebrates Christmas
Bollywood fraternity is all excited about Christmas and planning to celebrate it in a different way this year. Read below:
Saif Ali khan : Yes, we do celebrate Christmas. This year during the festival, I’m trying to relive warm childhood memories with a big decorated Christmas Tree, presents under it, lots of light and the family atmosphere. But even with all these celebrations, in India, Diwali is essentially our Christmas.
John Abraham: “More than anything else, it’s a great occasion to do something good, something meaningful for people to make them happy. And yes, it’s also about some yummy food. For me, Christmas is probably that one time in the year when I allow myself to pig out on anything chocolate. That can be chocolate cakes, brownies, pudding… Ah, and how can I forget chocolate Christmas pudding, that great, traditional Christmas dessert! Well, as long as it’s about chocolate, it’s okay with me.”
Abhay Deol : Christmas is a time to celebrate. It’s also essentially a family time. Christmas for me is a time for family. I’ll probably be spending the evening with my nephews and nieces and family. I am looking forward to celebrating the festival with near and dear ones. That’s what festivals are all about for me.
Asin: “I’m upset I can’t go home for Christmas this year. Christmas is not so much about parties for me but I do give ample importance to the spirit of the festival.It is a time to remember the Lord and it also a time to spread the message of joy.We distributed gifts amongst ourselves,’’ she laughs. “I try my best not to shoot on Christmas because it is family time.”
Genelia D’Souza: “Life has been hectic and I’ve been shooting back-to-back outdoors. But Santa heard my prayer and brought me home in time for Christmas. Right since childhood, I haven’t missed out on a single midnight mass with my folks. And last night, we offered our prayers at St Peter’s and St Anne’s Church in Bandra.”
Celina Jaitly : Christmas in our family is very special. I remember being told the story that in 1962 my grandfather who was missing in the Indo-China war came back over Christmas. It’s a very special occasion for our family. I will be celebrating Christmas with my family, like always.
Amrita Rao : Christmas is an occasion I look forward to every year, as it a perfect opportunity for me to break away from my daily routine and consciously spread happiness and love around me. I have always celebrated Christmas with great fervour and I believe that the warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other.This year, I am planning to spend my Christmas with family and close friends over quiet dinner.
Shazahn Padamsee : For me Christmas is spending time with my family. Giving a receiving a lot of gifts, decorating the house with Xmas decorations and of course hosting our annual Padamsee xmas bash!
