Priyanka holds her Swayamvar
No Priyanka Chopra is not going Rakhi Sawant’s way, but was only practising a little bit for her upcoming flick with Vishal Bharadwaj.
A source says, “At the event, Priyanka, probably deciding to do a rehearsal for her film with Vishal Bhardwaj, in which she is the only woman with seven husbands, decided to play a small game of swayamvar with a few male participants before crowning the winner.”
“Priyanka called three boys on stage. They were asked to propose to her in innovative ways. One of them did a very filmi number and even sang for her. She did not accept any but danced with all of them. It was an Indian themed fashion show. So, there was no better chief guest than the former Miss World herself, who, in a pink saree, looked stunning. But because much time had been spent on the swayamvar, when the time came for the main event which was the fashion pageant, the organisers realised they had reached the time limit and switched off the lights and sound. But Priyanka being the sport that she is, happily came on stage, crowned the winner in the dark and made a quick exit. “
That’s nice of you Piggy Chops.

Shilpa: We don’t owe an explanation to Pakistani Cricketers
Team owners refrained from selecting Pakistani cricketers for the upcoming season of Indian Premiere League(IPL) while this was not taken well by the media of both the nations, Shilpa Shetty believes that the team owners don’t owe an explanation to Pakistani cricketers.
She says, “We don’t owe an explanation on our decision on Pakistani players. The reasons for dropping are understandable in the current scenario. We would like the media and the people to react to such situations more sensibly.”
“We wanted the players to be in the country and at that point of time we were more worried about security. We did not want to take onus for their security.”
Kings XI Punjab team owner Preity Zinta referring brouhaha about droppingPakistani cricketers said, “They have just sensationalized the issue. We request the country to collectively handle the situation sensibly.”
Do you think dropping Pakistani players from IPL is a good idea or a bad idea?

Salman blasts critics for bad Veer review
Salman Khan is not taking the bad reviews of Veer by critics with a pinch of salt, instead he claims that the critics have been paid to write negatively about his magnum opus Veer.
Salman wrote on a social networking site, “I tell you critics are paid and they can’t be a better judge than audience. So, please go and watch it. I boycott critics and request you not to go by the reviews and they are just good for nothing. I promise- Veer won’t disappoint you.”
For people who have seen Salman’s dream movie Veer – do you think it is a disaster or a very great flick?
Veer Movie Review
Veer could be called a magnanimous, gigantic, collossal bore! Rating2.5/5
The story of Veer is set in the year 1857, where Veer(Salman Khan) plays a Pindari warrior who not only aims to win back his tribes lost glory but also their homeland from the claws of the evil king of Madhavgardh played by Jackie Shroff. In the process, Veer falls in love with beautiful Yashodhara who happens to be the deceitful kings daughter. Veer wins it all – glory and land of his tribe, avengesthe death of his tribesmen from the evil king, mows down an entire battalion of the British army, wins the hand of Princess, and emerges successful in lighting the fire of patriotism and revolution in the people of Madhavgardh, the Pindaris and hence the Indians.
Salman Khan has been credited for the story of the film Veer. Unfortunately, Salman’s story has a lot of loopholes, poor characterization, and disappointing treatment above all. The good thing about the story is that it bought to attention the legend of the Pindari Warriors who were wiped off in a campaign led by General Hastings. The sad thing about the story is that justice was not done to a good theme.
Now, leaving all the critical and technical aspects, for the average cinegoer – Veer has very little to offer. Salman as Veer has put in a lot of effort to get the look and feel of the character right. Full marks to him. Although sometimes the Gladiator-cum-Achilles warrior-look and costumes looked rather odd in the Indian context. Sohail Khan is reduced to mere loony side kick who annoys more than anything else. Zarine Khan looks pretty but plastic, I dont see why they chose her over Katrina when she can’t even speak her own dialogues in the film. Much hyped- Lisa Lazarus of UK, is also a forgettable face in the firang crowd of the film.
Some dialogues were too over-the-top, the regular jingoistic fare of Anil Sharma movies (Gadar, Here etc.), but public cheered to it in the cinema hall… surprisingly. Some action sequences also won applause like when Salman breaks a sword with one hand as if it was a cookie! On the love story remains another obscure domain of the film – visible but unclear!
So… Even if you consider this as a ‘epic love story of a warrior’ and not a ‘historical docu-drama’, I’d still say ‘Disappointing’. (Wish there was somebody to pay me to say this 
)
My Verdict: Strictly for Salman Khan fans! Others can avoid!
