First Woody Allen, then Julian Schnabel, closely followed by Tarsem Singh and now the 26 year old ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ star Freida Pinto is all set to play the tragic Tess in Michael Winterbottom’s contemporary Indian version of the Thomas Hardy classic
Pamela Anderson made a sensuous entry to the Big Boss house in a white saree owing to the requests from the channel people. However, the babe has now slipped into an attire she is more comfortable with. Looking ravishing in a orange sarong benefitting her casual dressing style, the babe seemed at comfort in the house already savouring Indian food and lending a hand in cleaning the house.
Mercury soared up like never before when Pamela Anderson entered the Big Boss house as a celebrity guest last night, attired in a white saree by Ashley Rebello. Although she had worn a saree for the first time, she carried it off very well. She was not very keen earlier to wear a saree but the channel people convinced her for the same.
Mallika Sherawat came across a big blow when her much ambitious and talked about project ‘Hisss’ bombed at the box-office but the sex kitten still has a few Hollywood projects to be released soon and if the pics of the same are to be gone by, her forthcoming ‘Love, Barack’ is supposed to cash in on her oomph appeal.
Making the debut with director Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ did that to Freida Pinto’s career what a couple of films could not do with many talented actresses.
If all goes well, the ‘Hips don’t lie’ girl Shakira will be playing Goddess Kali UK based film producer Karan Arora’s 3D VFX movie ‘Kali-the warrior Goddess’.

Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto have been romantically linked together since the time the duo first appeared together in the movie. Recently, they were also rumored to have been engaged together but the couple vehemently denied the rumors. Nevertheless, time and again they have been spotted together looking very comfortable in each other’s company. They were also seen together in New York at the premiere of Dev’s latest movie The Last Airbender. As usual, Freida looked perfectly poised and elegant as ever in an off-shoulder bright green short dress matching Dev’s formal looks in every way. Check out the two at the event…..
She is a perky Pune girl. This Urdu, Gujarati, English speaking Muslim girl has made it big in Hollywood at just 26. Talking about Noureen DeWulf, the Indian girl has managed to bag in roles with the cream of Hollywood such as Jennifer Lopez (’The Back Up Plan’), Mathew McConaughey (’Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past’) and Ving Rhames (’Mission Impossible’ series), besides a clutch of other notable films.
She was chosen by an American magazine as “one of the most desirable women on the planet” and has featured in Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 list.
However, she has expressed her desire to work in Bollywood and also to work with Rekha. “I love Bollywood. I grew up watching Bollywood films like Sita Aur Geeta, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Coolie and so many. There is a lot of talent there and if an opportunity is there and presented in a right format, I’d love to do a Bollywood film,” she said adding, “I’d love to work with Rekha. I like her. She is so beautiful and she is a great actress. I love (her) Silsila a lot… I’ve watched it so many times.”
Noureen is all said to essay the role of a Muslim character in her forthcoming biggie flick: ‘The Taqwacores’ based on the best selling book by Michael Muhammad Knight.
Noureen said in a tabloid chat, “I may look very American, but am very Indian at heart. The competition is unimaginable. I really don’t know I’ve gotten so far and it’s a mystery to me. I’m planning to come down to India and if there’s a good Bollywood film going for me, I’d like to do it. It’ll be like going back to my roots.”
The much-hyped and perhaps the most awaited summer release ‘Kites’ opened in theatres yesterday and evoked mixed response from the viewers. The major drawback of the movie was its failure to live up to the promises and hype which had been built up with the much hullaboo about sizzling chemistry and passionate romance between Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori.The storyline of the film is sheer romance but lacks the smoldering and passionate sexual chemistry between the two stars which was what the fans expected. The story of the film is simple and predictable with no new twists. Jai aka J (Hrithik) is a street-smart Las Vegas guy who romances with a rich girl Gina (Kangna Ranaut) for her wealth. When he meets Gina’s brother Tony’s (Nick Brown) fiancee Natasha (Barbara), he falls in love with her. Natasha too falls for him and the lovers elope and then the chase begins.
Set aside the negative aspects of the movie and you have two great looking sexy people with some interesting moments, gripping action sequences in the second half of the film, international look and appeal and best of all, melodious scores by Rajesh Roshan.
The international version seems to be more impressive than the Hindi version considering the global appeal. To sum it all, a one time watch and an average turnout for an over hyped movie!!!
Once again, Hollywood combines with Bollywood in the forthcoming romantic comedy ‘Love, Barack’ where our sexy bombshell Mallika Sherawat plays the lead. The movie is based on the fortunes of a campaign team caught up in a whirlwind of euphoric romances.
The movie has Mallika play a character named is “Aretha Gupta” who is a local Obama volunteer and a month before the election day, Democrat Aretha unexpectedly falls for her Republican counterpart (Alonso), a handsome, dynamic African-American working for the local McCain office.
The character of Aretha Gupta is inspired by Kamala Harris, the attorney general of San Francisco. Mallika Sherawat write on twitter profile that-
“Kamala is a great inspiration and to play a part inspired by her is an actress’s dream. I will B ’shadowing’ Harris to research my new movie. It’s an amazing role. I’m working hard at. I’m ready.”
The movie is co-produced by Govind Menon along with Hollywood producer and William Keenan’s company Nuclear Mango.
Check out the first look of the flick with Mallika wrapped in the American flag with Alonso….
After premiering successfully in New York, the Roshans’ much awaited mega budgeted film ‘Kites’ had a glittering premiere in London at Leicester Square. The entire Roshan clan was there to celebrate the moment and they candidly admitted that they were quite anxious to see the fate of the film.
Among those present were Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori, Sussanne Roshan, Rakesh Roshan and wife Pinky Roshan, Anurag Kashyap and wife, Rajesh Roshan and wife, plus senior members of the Reliance Big Pictures team.
After the New York premiere on Monday evening, the team had to fly off for the London premiere but that’s when the ash clouds struck again and almost all the flights to Europe had to be cancelled or diverted. It was a nail biting moment for the team who finally made it successfully to London.
Sanjeev Lamba, the CEO of Reliance Big Picture, said, “Flights carrying all of us landed on Monday evening. We were in American and British Airlines. Both landed safely and on time.”
Mallika Sherawat was at Cannes Red Carpet along with brother and co-producer Vikram Lamba to unveil the promo her ambitious forthcoming project ‘Hissss’. This time she kept her appearance simple with once in a white, self -printed, sleeve less, low neck dress, coupled with traditional Indian jewelry and the other time in a blood red, low neck dress with a white feathery coat with her hair open at both times. Her dress has been done by a top designer while her style team, led by Claus Hjelmbak and Ivan Bitton styled her look.
To promote her film in a special way, the actress has planned a special nag pooja on May 16 at the Hotel Majestic on the Cannes croissette. The pooja will be followed by a dance with a 15 foot python wrapped around her for which a 220 pound snake has been specially brought in from the US and Mallika has been rehearsing with it for the last four days. The theatrical trailer of her film will be unveiled by a top Hollywood company and the release date will also be announced.
‘Hisss’ will not only see our Desi bombshell Mallika Sjerawat going international but will also mark the debut of very talented Divya Dutta in Hollywood. While Mallika Sherawat plays the female lead as the snakewoman, Divya will be seen as Irrfan Khan’s love interest.
“It is one of the challenging roles I have received. I am really looking forward to it. I play Irrfan’s love interest, who is passionate as well as sensitive. The role is not cliched and has subtle things to portray. It is one of my best roles,” said Divya.
Her Hollywood set out does not end here as Divya has two more Hollywood projects in hand. One of them is Emmy winning director Fred Holmes’ “Heart Land” also starring Amelia Jackson Gray, Reg Grant and Stephan Mario Singh.
“‘Heart Land’ is a light hearted film in which I am playing a Punjabi girl. It deals with a sensitive relationship my character shares with a much older man from the US,” Divya reveals about her role in the film.
“People from the West are extremely passionate and disciplined about work. Everyone, from the junior level to the director, is so involved that we have no choice but to give our best,” she added.
The Pretty Woman star and Oscar winning actress, ‘Julia Roberts’ is at present in India for the shoot of director Ryan Murphy’s film ‘Eat, Love and Pray’ along with co-star Richard Jenkins. The film is being shot in a Haryana village, around eight km from Pataudi which is the royal seat of Saif’s family.Julia met Saif’s mom Sharmila Tagore in Patuadi and when she came to know that Kareena would be playing her part in the Hindi remake of the Hollywood hit ‘Stepmom’ starring Roberts and Susan Sarandon, she expressed her desire to meet her son Saif and Bebo.
Bebo is at present busy shooting a song with Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan for ‘3 Idiots’ in Mumbai and has apparently asked for a day off so that she could fly to Pataudi for the planned dinner with Julia Roberts.
So, may be we would see Saifeena have their dream dinner with this Oscar winning pretty actress.
