Katrina in awards function

It could be an awards function. Or a party like Shah Rukh Khan or Katrina Kaif's birthday bash, where the press could be present. The look has to be unique, apt for the occasion, flattering to the star's body type, height, complexion and image - and also true to the trend of the moment.

Bebo in 3 Idiots

The only Khan who was missing from Kareena's portfolio was Aamir and now with Rajkumar Hirani's '3 Idiots', she has also managed to cross that as well. Little wonder that the actress has now been offered money to the tune of Rs 10 Crore for 'Golmaal 3' to be directed by Rohit Shetty

Look, the election's over and traffic for political blogging . . . eh, it's not so hot right now. So if readers aren't hitting the tip jar, buying books or buying T-shirts, a capitalist blogger has to do something, right? And if Hollywood starlet Anne Hathaway wants to display about 30% of her right breast, who am I to obstruct her First Amendment right to free expression? That would be un-American. If I don't post pictures of Anne Hathaway's boobs, the terrorists win. Which also justifies this photo of Anne in a see-through dress:

South Indian beauty Asin

South Indian beauty Asin, who was to play the female lead opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Ashutosh Gowarikar's Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se, has decided to walk out of the film citing date problems. But what was the actual reason? Sources reveal that Asin had signed the movie a month ago without even reading the script because she was thrilled to work with director Ashutosh Gowrikar, but after hearing the script, she opted out.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif has had plenty of experiences of getting mobbed, but the latest incident has left the actress a bit petrified. While promoting her film, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani in Ahmedabad last week, a crowd of 5,000 people gathered around her, and got a little too enthusiastic.
A unit member, who was accompanying the actress, reveals, “Almost 5,000 people turned up at the mall to catch a glimpse of Katrina. Her fans kept screaming her name and some of them were almost on the brink of pouncing on her. She even hurt her leg in the chaos.”
That wasn’t the end of it though. The unit member adds, “A group of fans got on their bikes and followed Katrina right up to her hotel.” This left the actress with no choice but to comply with their wishes. “Katrina had to sign their CDs and even pose for pictures with them,” added the unit member.
When contacted to comment on the incident, Katrina said, “I would not like to upset my well wishers by throwing tantrums.”

BLUE

Yes, absence of a concrete storyline has been challenged but the supporters of BLUE have their own take. "See, one can't deny the fact that stories like these actually have a very thin storyline. You have to rely on the stunts, action and all the associated thrills. BLUE followed the same path and if box office is to be observed, the strategy seems to have worked", says an industry insider on condition of anonymity. He goes on to add on a parting note, "There is time and space for all kinds of films. BLUE was never sold as a family drama while ALL THE BEST was always meant to be slapstick. Both the films have been much more than just accepted which proves yet again that diverse genres can run in parallel at the box office as long as one has a clear mindset when it comes to watching a film."
