Bollywood Gossip - Adi is divorcing his wife to marry Rani Mukherjee

Exclusive Bollywood Gossips - The moment has arrived for Aditya Chopra and Bollywood Actresss Rani Mukherjee.

The Yash Raj scion, who was staying at a suburban five-star hotel for a long time due to differences with his parents is back in his parent's home but on one condition that they don't interfere in his personal life read Rani Mukerjee.

The entire problem started with Yash and Pamela Chopra's disapproval for Rani as they didn't want their son to break-up with his wife Payal but the DDLJ director didn't gave in to their demands... and still dating the queen bee.

He apparently wanted Payal to move out of the house before he returned home. Though Pam still does not like Rani much, but has had to bend because she could not stay away from her son.

But what about poor Payal? She gets a settlement, worth more than Rs 20 crore we hear, besides a plush spacious in Juhu, close to Sanjana Kapoor's Prithvi theatre.

With everything else falling in place, Adi is finally filing for a divorce. His married life of five-odd years is headed nowhere, they have told the family court in Bandra. The mandatory six-month cooling-off period required after filing a mutual consent divorce petition will get over this May for the producer.

It took three joint meetings with their lawyer for the two to set their divorce process in motion.

Their lawyer advised them and they agreed not to mention the terms of settlement in the court documents, opting instead for an out-of-court arrangement.

Bollywood News - Ajay's advice to Kajol regarding SRK

Well do not get excited and jump to conclusions after reading our headline, as we are not about to indulge in yellow journalism! This is a rather interesting incident that took place between Bollywood Actors Ajay Devgan, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. It is quite in contrast to the recent stories involving Kajol's hubby Devgan and her advice seeking SMS to Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan, concerning Raju Hirani's film. And we go!

As per Mumbai based media sources, Kajol was wondering as to why her close friend Shah Rukh Khan had not replied to her SMS about doing Rajkumar Hirani's film. Seeing Kajol being worried about the same, loving hubby Ajay Devgan told her (rather coolly) to call SRK and find out, instead of getting worried the whole day and staring at her mobile, while waiting for a reply from King Khan. Needless to add that Kajol took her husband's intelligent advice rather seriously and did the same. And we know her decision regarding the matter.

For those who are still clueless, as of the moment, Aamir Khan is the only actor finalised for Rajkumar Hirani's next project based on the Indian education system

Bollywood Gossip - Amitabh & Rekha together

Bollywood Gossip - Even we were equally surprised as you are on reading this title. Well that was the news, from a section of media reporting about reel life hit jodi Amitabh & Rekha's comeback in a film titled ALADDIN, to be directed by JHANKAAR BEATS fame director Sujoy Ghosh. The yesteryear-superhit jodi will appear onscreen after almost a gap of more than two decades (around 26 years). But sadly the news will settle only as headlines and will not turn out to be a reality as the director, Sujoy, denied about they being together in ALADDIN, when we contacted. Further he also confirmed that it's only Big B who is signed for the film, playing the character of 'Gini' and not Rekha. Well all those brokenhearted fans can at least enjoy the news, if not the movie.

UTV reportedly signs Ashutosh Gowarikar for their next project

f the trade mills are to be believed, then, UTV has repeated Ashutosh Gowarikar for their next project. When Bollywood Hungama spoke to Siddharth Roy Kapoor, EVP- Marketing, Distribution, Syndication, UTV Motion Pictures, he was very upbeat about the success of their magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar.

Siddharth said "It's a stupendous number actually, wrt to the Box-Office collections of Jodhaa Akbar. We are very, very upbeat about the sustained performance of the movie.

When asked about the initial apprehensions and the risk factors involved in making a historical saga, Kapoor said, "Obviously, you do consider many aspects very carefully in any movie that you commit to making. But in this case, we knew the capabilities of Ashutosh as a director. We also knew that if there was anyone who can translate the vision of Jodhaa Akbar onto screen, then, it's him. We were very confident about that."

Lastly, on UTV's next with Ashutosh, he said, "I would rather wait till we make a formal announcement about this together, which will happen in the next few weeks."

Bollywood Gossips - Neha Dhupia undermines her beau

Having won the 'Fa' Femina Miss India title long back in 2002, Bollywood Actress Neha Dhupia is indeed a beautiful lass and one among the pretty ladies in Bollywood today. Although Neha Dhupia has failed to leave an impact on Bollywood, she has left the imprint of being a sexy lady among the audience. Her beauty and sex appeal is not only a topic of discussion among her directors, but also the audience! But here is the anti-climax; Neha does not consider herself to be beautiful at all!!

Believe it or not, Neha Dhupia does not consider her to be beautiful, but says that she is average-looking. Neha says, "I don't consider myself to be beautiful and my appearance is like the other girls in general. According to me, Lisa Ray and Aishwarya Rai are beautiful women." Recalling an incident of her childhood days, Neha says, "I was so fatty during my school days that no boy used to talk with me. Neither did anyone present me any gift. A reason for this could be that my father, who was in the Army, and my elder brother always protected me like bodyguards."

All these notwithstanding, winning the Miss India title, Neha has proved to the world that she is not only beautiful, but also intelligent. Anyways, it seems that the boys at Neha's school must be repenting now. Had they presented Neha Dhupia with gifts then, it might be possible that they could win her heart then!

Well, after learning about Neha's story, we have begun wondering if the fantasy stories being shown on Indian television these days are inspired from her life. Many of these soaps storyline revolves around beautiful girls who either resemble superstars or are maids waiting for the prince charming to come and propose their hands. Don't you too think in a similar manner?

Wet and wild WAGS II: After Coleen, now Alex shows off her fabulous bikini body

Just one day after Coleen McLoughlin stepped out in a skimpy bikini, fellow WAG Alex Curran proved she was not to be outdone.

The 25-year-old - whose husband Steven Gerrard is preparing to captain England at Wembley tonight - was spotted lounging by the pool of her luxury hotel in a skimpy blue and white bikini in Dubai today.

Wayne Rooney’s fiancée is also enjoying a sun holiday – she arrived in Barbados earlier this week for a girls only getaway.

Alex is said to be staying at an exclusive £2000-a-night villa - complete with personal butler - with two fellow WAGs, a pregnant Jude Cisse, wife of ex-Liverpool star Djibril and Thierry Henry’s estranged wife Claire.

It’s the latest luxurious treat for the 25-year-old Alex - earlier this month she was seen driving her £100,000 Mercedes C class AMG, a Christmas present from her Gerrard while totting a £1,500 Zagliani python-skin handbag.

All distractions, perhaps, from the trauma she experienced in December as four masked raiders broke into her £3million mansion while her two young daughters slept upstairs.

She was confronted by the intruders after they hammered down a back door at her home.

She said: “It was absolutely terrifying, a horrendous experience.”

The robbers escaped with jewellery worth thousands of pounds. It was the sixth raid in 18 months on the home of a Liverpool player.

Gerrard has since employed a security team at the family’s home.

SRK back on telly with KBC 4

The badshah of Bollywood -- Shahrukh Khan -- will once again be seen on the small screen as he gets back on the tube to host the season four of KBC.

It is time again to sharpen your general knowledge and get ready to take the hot seat for the next season of KBC. At the Global Indian Television Honours, after Shahrukh Khan walked away with the award for the Best Talk show, it seems quiet natural that he host the next season too.

Siddharth Basu, the man behind KBC, who walked away with an award for his dance show 'Jhalak Dikjla Ja' says: "Synergy Adlabs had entered into a contract with Star Television for five KBC seasons last year. We have atleast four seasons remaining. According to the agreement, SRK will feature in the season four."

Basu, who is thrilled with his success as Synergy Adlabs won two awards this year says, "I am pleased that Synergy Adlabs has got two awards, one for third season of 'KBC' and the other for 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja' for the first season."

It's surely a good news for all avid TV watchers as they will get a chance to witness Shahrukh's charismatic performance in KBC for yet another year as the charming actor will keep the viewers glued to the television screen.

From dancing with the stars to quizzing with the Badshah of Bollywood, Siddharth Basu certainly has his hands full.

Shahid pays tribute to Aamir with new movie

Shahid Kapur pays tribute to his favourite actor Aamir Khan by playing a teacher who helps a group of troubled young students in his new movie "Paathshaala".

The similarities between "Taare Zameen Par" and this film are striking.

Choreographer-turned-producer and Shahid's close friend Ahmed Khan doesn't deny the fact that "Taare Zameen Par" has made a huge difference to the way we look at movie entertainment and at the parent-child relationship.

"I would happily admit that 'Paathshaala' is inspired by 'Taare Zameen Par', except for the fact that 'Paathshala' was conceived and written a year ago. It's about a sensitive teacher's interaction with a group of kids," Ahmed told IANS.

"I've signed some really talented kids like Sweeney Khare from 'Cheeni Kum', Ali Haji from 'Fanaa' and Dwij Yadav from 'Nanhe Jaisalmer'. We're really fortunate to suddenly have so many talented kids in our cinema. So why not put them to creative use? It's about time we addressed issues regarding children in a serious but entertaining way," said Ahmed.

Interestingly, Ahmed has selected some of the most extraordinary child actors to come into the film industry in the last couple of years.

"And on top of that, let's not forget I was once a child actor myself," laughed Ahmed who played a child in "Mr India".

"Shahid too was a child actor. So we're all putting our minds into making a film about the mind of a child and the child within the man."

Ahmed has directed two films, "Lakeer" and "Fool N Final". However, "Paathshala" is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's assistant Milind Ukey.

About "Fool N Final", Ahmed said: "Please don't blame me. Blame the producer. For the first time in 'Paathshaala', I'm doing a film straight from my heart."

The set representing the school where 'teacher' Shahid does an Aamir has been erected in Film City.

"We even have a basketball court as part of the school set," said Ahmed proudly.

Wanted: The Big B, Sarika at 24

By Subhash K. Jha, Mumbai, Feb 5 : Director Shojeet Sircar, who is shooting a marital drama with Amitabh Bachchan and Sarika, has a problem: he needs two actors to play the younger version of the protagonists.

Just like Smriti Mishra, who had played Kirron Kher's younger avatar in "Sardari Begum" in Shyam Benegal's film!

The problem is who can match the two actors physically and in terms of talent?

How about Abhishek Bachchan and Sarika's daughter Shruti, who is all set to make her debut as an actress?

"I did ask Abhishek to do the role, but he didn't feel the time was right to fit into his father's shoes," Sircar told IANS.

"Even as I shoot with Amitabh Bachchan, we're auditioning young men who have his looks and at least some acting talent. For Sarika, we've more or less found a young actress to play her younger self," he added.

Apparently, when Renzil d'Silva of "Rang De Basanti" wrote the screenplay, he had envisaged Abhishek as the Big B's junior avatar

Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy: Expecting!

Theft Reported at Britney Spears Home

The LAPD was called to the Beverly Hills home of Britney Spears after her parents discovered valuable possessions belonging to her were missing.

Spears’ father Jamie and mother Lynne were “shocked” to find that that valuable items “had been stolen” after they returned to the house following yesterday’s emergency hearing where Jamie won legal control over his daughter.

They then called police and filed a report.

Britney Spears’ parents believe that the items were stolen after their daughter was taken to the UCLA Medical Center early Thursday morning.


Britney Spears will stay in the UCLA psych ward at least two weeks.

Los Angeles Police officer Alex Martinez confirmed that police responded to a call at Spears’ house, but did not know what had transpired.

“The report is being processed through our system,” he said. “We do not have access to it at this time.”

Police say Britney’s parents filed an official report, claiming that the alleged theft occurred sometime between the time Britney was admitted to the UCLA psych ward and the time the conservatorship papers were signed.

Sam Lutfi has not been named as a suspect, however, he had access to the house, and Britney’s father strongly believes Sam is up to no good.

Meanwhile, TMZ reports that sometime tonight, papers will be signed at UCLA extending Britney Spears’ stay at the psych ward - by 14 days.

It’s an internal process - done without a court order. It will indeed happen, and that’s not surprising given her mental health.

Britney Spears has been diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder. The ward Britney is in right now is considered one of the best in the nation.
