The experiment was the latest in a series of tests leading to a hoped-for "ignition", where the

Buzz is, he has now decided on a date and the venue.
Kab, kahaan...

Kareena to get her curves back for sexiness
It is not without reason that she is often referred to as the 'female SRK of Bollywood'. Like her male counterpart, Kareena Kapoor, too, has a penchant to grab the spotlight, for all the things the actress does (and sometimes doesn't)! While the nation has not yet forgotten the size-zero figure made popular by our very own Bebo, the news is that Kareena is trying to put on weight for the last couple of months.
While this may come across as a bad news for all, who tried their best to get rid of the extra kilos in an attempt to emulate Kareena Kapoor, the sexy Bollywood lass has decided that it is time to bring back her own plumper self again.
When questioned by the media on the sudden change in her statistics, Kareena Kapoor laughed away saying that little did she expect that her weight would one day become a national issue, adding at the end that, it is her way of pleasing her fans, who prefer the slightly fatter Kareena!
Bebo has just stepped on 30 and with it has also completed a decade in the
Shilpa honeys up!
Teams up with Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani for an adShilpa Shetty has teamed up with Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani yet again this time for an ad. The actress who did a Shut Up And Bounce act in his movie has now shot for a honey brand with him.
The commercial was filmed on Wednesday night at a shopping-cum-multiplex in Bandra. The shoot began at midnight and wound up at 7 am.
Lookin' fantastic
Says Mansukhani, "I can't reveal the details of the ad at this stage as the makers want to launch it in a big way. Shilpa is the brand ambassador of the product.
But what I can say is that she is looking fantastic."
This is the third time that the writer-director is making a commercial. He has worked with Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai and Karan Johar-Kareena Kapoor in earlier ads.
Adds Shetty, "It was great working with
Priyanka wants family time
Will take her parents along to Berlin for Don 2 shoot Priyanka Chopra who barely spends any time with her parents in Mumbai, thanks to her busy schedule, will now take them along to Berlin for the shooting of Don 2. The problem is they might freak out on seeing their laadli beti perform dangerous stunts with Shah Rukh Khan. "Yeah, but I'd rather risk their concern than lose the opportunity to have them around," says PC.
Happy I'm busy
The actress was meant to spend time with her parents and also practise her stunts for Don 2 before leaving for Berlin. Now, those two things will happen on location.
The extra week of promotion required for her new film Anjaana Anjaani (as the film was pushed) has taken its toll on her plans.
But she isn't complaining. "No-one can foresee these things. Ranbir and I had to give up the time we had set aside for our families for
Kareena denies taking Rs 5 crore for Short Time Shaadi
Is Kareena Kapoor asking for Rs 5 crore for a ‘Short Term Shaadi’? Well, it is not about a marriage but her upcoming film with Imran Khan. A report said that Kareena had charged a huge amount of Rs 5 crore for acting in Karan Johar’s next flick 'Short Term Shaadi'. However, the actress has rubbished such reports.The ‘once size-zero’ actress was quoted saying that Karan is like a family to her and so they don’t discuss money or even scripts. She added that Karan just informs her when to start for shooting and then pays the amount she deserves.
Speaking about her outfits in the movie, Kareena said that she won’t compromise on her glam quotient. The 30- year-old actress said that her ‘size zero’ look was not liked by her fans so she would better wear lot of clothes like she wore in Jab We Met.
The actress says jokingly that she is thankful to Shah Rukh Khan for taking away the weight loss issue from her. Recently, when SRK was shooting for Ra.One, he lost a lot of weight and people started discussing about this. So Kareena thinks that the attention has now shifted from her to

Crook Movie review

Directed by: Mohit Suri
Rating: **
Damn! Why didn't we think of sending the amazing super-hero Emran Hashmi to Australia before? Emran Saab's solution to global malevolence as provided in this disappointing mismash of masala and headlines is simple enough.
It's good to be bad. So says the smooth-sayer. Fair enough. If only the director had not decided to apply the motto to the treatment of this film.
At last our revenge on the Aussie attacks. This film is the ultimate comeuppance for the Australians… those so-and-sos who have been maltreating our hapless students who go to the firangi land to
