The uncommon unique woman Kangana Ranaut, with no Bollywood background has now achieved a niche for herself in the B-town. This sexy lash recently shot for a glam magazine. And this time sexy Kangna was much more beautiful revealing his sexy skin. She definitely has that oomph factor in her…take a look!

Karan Johar, presently busy shooting for My Name is Khan, has already locked on his next film as director. Reports say that Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan have agreed to be a part of Karan’s project. There is no doubt in the fact that Karan is fond of both Ranbir and Imran. In fact, he loved their act at an awards function this year. It seems the two have great personal chemistry that could translate well on the big screen.

It is learnt that the film will be in the vein of Hollywood hit High School Musical. Both Imran and Ranbir play their age and it will be a yuppie romantic drama.
It seems Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor are the two actresses being considered to play the roles opposite Ranbir and Imran.
Hope…we get to see all four together on-screen soon.

The best possible application of this form of realism is possible only in a horror film.” RGV wants the viewers to feel what it is to be in the horror movie and not simply watch it.

Mumbai: Salman Khan was at his humourous best on the sets of his forthcoming TV show 10 Ka Dum as he bonded with his star contestants Karisma Kapur and Kareena Kapoor. Known for his dedication to his fitness regime, Salman had some words of advice for Kareena, who has lost a lot of weight in the past in her bid to flaunt an eye-popping figure.
“Be careful not to lose too much weight. Men like women with some weight,” he told Kareena, adding, “Women who lose too much weight begin to look hard in the face and that’s not attractive. Don’t stand in front of a fan. You might just fly away.”

Kareena just sportingly flaunted a smile. Salman then went a step ahead to first compliment Karisma and then commented at her near-perfect figure. Salman and Karisma have a long list of flop films together and he had no qualms listing them all in front of the audiences too. Jokingly he told the audience, “One film with me turned her career — she became a big star.”

NEW YORK: Angelina Jolie has dethroned Oprah Winfrey as the world’s most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes.

The actress grabbed the No. 1 spot from the talk show queen on the magazine’s annual Celebrity 100 list, which ranks the rich and famous based on media exposure and career earnings over the past year.

Jolie, a reigning tabloid fixture, earned $27 million, bumping her up from third place on last year’s list, Forbes said, adding that she wields more power due to high-profile turns in hit films such as “Wanted” and “Kung Fu Panda.”

At No. 2, Winfrey is still the highest earner — $275 million.

Madonna came in third, trailed by Beyonce, Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen and Steven Spielberg.

Two other celebs tied up in Jolie’s tabloid universe — Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt — came in at eighth and ninth place, respectively.

Tenth place goes to Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, thanks in part to endorsement deals scored after the Beijing Olympics.

About halfway down the list sits a very familiar face: President Barack Obama. At No. 49, Obama’s the first sitting head of state to appear on this Forbes fixture because of his worldwide fame, his historic election and his career as a best-selling author.

Newcomers to the list: Alec Baldwin (No. 91); Meryl Streep (No. 64); Toby Keith (No. 59); Rascal Flatts (No. 42); TV host Glenn Beck (No. 81); and teen singing superstar Taylor Swift (No. 69).

Although he’s one of the biggest acts in entertainment, Justin Timberlake went from 12th to falling off the list completely, since ending his lucrative “FutureSex/LoveShow” concert tour.

Jennifer Lopez, Johnny Depp and Tyra Banks also dropped off the list.

NEW DELHI: Bollywood veteran Manoj Kumar is upbeat about donning the director’s hat once again in his golden jubilee year in the industry for an “Indo-Pak” love story.

The actor-turned-filmmaker may have moved on from the “Om Shanti Om” controversy, but maintains that what Shah Rukh Khan did was “dirty”.

“Though I had three subjects in mind, I decided to first go with ‘Indo-Pak: A Love Story’. The film will not revolve only around patriotism. It will have a human and romantic angle,” Manoj Kumar told.

“The film will highlight that there is a lot of commonalities between the two countries. We have the same features, our food is similar and, after all, a few years ago we were one single country,” said the 71-year-old actor, who was known as ‘Mr. Bharat’ for his patriotic films like “Upkaar”, “Shaheed” and “Purab Aur Paschim”.

Manoj Kumar said he chose such a theme as he was born in Abbottabad, a town of the North West Frontier Province located in Pakistan, adding that he would take a few Pakistani actors for the film.

“I was inclined to this subject since I have lived in Pakistan and now am living in India. I know the cultures of both the countries,” he explained. He is donning the director’s mantle after 1999 when he made “Jai Hind”.

“Shah Rukh did a dirty thing. When I reacted he then visited me, apologised and said he will remove the scene from the film, but he did not keep his promise. It was not that I get angry with people on everything, but I have to protect the image of Manoj Kumar. Later when he removed the scene, I dropped the matter,” Manoj Kumar said.

“It’s been two years and now I don’t have any grudges against him. He is just like a younger brother to me,” he added.

Manoj Kumar said he would like to cast new faces in his new venture though he likes Aamir Khan best among the current lot of heroes.

“I like Aamir’s work and I’m particularly happy that he is doing less and only meaningful work, but for my film I want fresh faces,” the Padma Shri awardee said.

“I am negotiating with a few actors, but nothing is confirmed as of now. I have decided to take one or two actors from Pakistan for the film,” he said.

Asked if he would like to act in his film or take up other acting assignments, the yesteryears actor said: “I will never impose myself on a script. If there is a suitable role for me in a film, then I will do it; otherwise I won’t push myself into it.”

“As far as signing any other film is concerned, I have always been very focused about the kind of work I want to do. In 50 years I have worked in only 42 films. I have always believed in quality and meaningful cinema and not quantity. If I get something like that, I will do it,” he added.

NEW YORK – The date for Whitney Houston’s comeback has been set.

Arista Records says her long-awaited album will be released Sept. 1. Houston hasn’t released a CD in seven years.

So far, there’s no word on a title for the album.

The 45-year-old superstar is one of the best-selling artists of all-time, but in recent years, she’s been defined more by drug problems, marital woes and erratic behavior than by her Grammy-winning voice.

But lately, Houston has appeared to return to her pop princess form. She wowed the crowd when she performed at her mentor Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party in February.
