Katrina Kaif is one actress who has made it to the top slot of Bollywood on the basis of sheer beauty and glamour because her acting skills and dialogue delivery is still a major target with critics. However, the pretty lady is all set to prove that she can impress her fans even without her oomph and glamour because she will be seen without any traces of makeup for Kabir Khan’s next ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ where she is paired opposite Salman Khan.
Kabir has strictly instructed Katrina to use no make-up at all before her shots as she plays a character is of a girl-next-door who doesn’t stand out in the crowd. Kats will not even be allowed to dab on some natural-colored lipstick or touch up her face before every shot, like a lot of actresses do while playing de-glam roles. Sources imply that the brief to Katrina from Kabir strictly read, ‘Your only makeup would be face-wash before every shot.”
Though we have full confidence in Kabir Khan’s visualization of his characters, how Kaif’s fans react to her de-glam avatar is yet to be seen………

Brett Lee, a former team player of Kings XI Punjab, had made the gossip columns go berseck with rumors of his romance with Bollywood actress and co-owner of the IPL team Kings XI Punjab, Preity Zinta, during the first season of IPL when the two were seen exchanging generous hugs and frank display of affection publicly. However, Lee was married to Elizabeth Kemp then, though his marriage was going through a rough phase.
Lee got divorced in 2009 and now once again, the romance between the two seems to have re-surfaced as Preity and Brett were spotted at a nightspot in Mumbai on Tuesday. Reportedly, they
spent around two hours together at Olive but did not leave the joint together as there were paparazzi outside. Lee departed from the main entrance, while Zinta sneaked out from the back door.
Well, Preity has long been single and much eligible. So, it is but natural that a divorced Brett would love to spend time together with this dimpled beauty whom he had once quoted as his favorite actress!!

The year 2011 seems to be an action packed year for seemingly fragile Kareena Kapoor for she has not one or two, but three action films in her kitty. Normally, Bebo has done romantic, cute and bubbly roles in her career and this is the first time she will be seen in serious action roles. She plays a diverse range of roles as a college student, a super spy and a mother in her films to come which include Siddique’s ‘Bodyguard’, Sriram Raghavan’s ‘Agent Vinod’ and Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Ra.One’.
Ra.One has her indulging into some serious fist fights and director Anubhav Sinha is thoroughly impressed with the way Bebo has indulged into preparations for her role. He says, “This is the first time Kareena is doing action scenes. She is the part of the serious action sequences including hand to hand combat. The film has several such sequences and she features in almost all of them.”
The action scenes for ‘Ra.One’ have been directed by Hollywood’s ace action directors Andy Gill and Spiro Razatos of ‘Fast and Furious’ fame.

Gossip columns had been abuzz with the rumours that Anurag Basu was considering Katrina Kaif to essay the role of Madhubala for his next project which happens to be a biographical film on the legendry Kishore Kumar.
While the critics totally approved that Kats was an apt choice, there does seem to be some other candidates for the role. Rumors are making rounds that Kangana Ranaut has created impressions with her beauty and performance in ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and she is being considered for the role too.
It may be mentioned here that it was Basu who had launched Kangana in the tinsel town with ‘Gangster’. However, Kangana Ranaut and Anurag Basu had fallen out with each other when Ranaut had accused Basu in the media for slashing her role in ‘Kites’ but both seem to have made up with each other now.
While we feel that Katrina stands way ahead than Kangana in being the right choice to play Madhubala, who finally grabs the role, only time can tell………..

There is no denying the fact that Kareena Kapoor is one of the most successful, stylish and popular actresses of Bollywood. So, it did not come as a surprise when she was chosen as the next Bollywood actress after Aishwarya Rai to get waxed at the celebrated Madame Tussauds in London.
According to the sources, the museum got numerous requests from her fans to get her wax statue. Since Kareena is busy these days with her shoot in Pondicherry with Aamir Khan, she has yet to complete all the formalities but she does intend to take time out and head to UK to meet the officials.
Madamme Tassauds have a horde of Bollywood celebs waxed at their museum right from Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan. Considering Bebo’s popularity worldwide, she does seem to be an apt choice to join the list.

In spite of her small role in Dabangg, Sonakshi Sinha as her father got in limelight with her dialogue.
In her next film, Joker,while Akshay is the lead and an alien concept is the major show, will the new comer have a platform  to prove herself.
When asked Shirish Kunder, the film director she assured by saying, “Yes definitely, in JOKER she is there right through the film with Akshay.  She has a well etched out part and the best part is that both she as well I are very enthusiastic about making the best use of the platform made available as this is our second film each. I would personally like to work more with someone like her who is younger and is just starting off as it brings us both in the same space.”
Shirish, who has worked with Preity Zinta in his debut directorial outing JAAN-E-MANN, adds, “She has that gift which I guess come from her genes. You have to tell Sonakshi just once about what you want and she does it just perfectly well. You don’t have to explain things much to her. This reflects not just in her act but also the dialogue delivery as she brings in punctuations at just the right place in the right way.”

Ayesha Takia has been long missing from limelight post her marriage. However, good news awaits her fans as she is all set to star opposite Ranvijay Singh (of Roadies fame) in Nagesh Kukunoor’s forthcoming flick ‘Mod’. The film is based on the Taiwanese film ‘Keeping Watch’ and Nagesh has purchased the rights for its remake.
The film is a suspense drama and was shot in Ooty on a start-to-finish schedule earlier this year.  The Indian version has been kept close to the original in terms of the plot and characters. Only a few changes have been made, particularly in Ayesha’s father’s character played by Raghubir Yadav, to suit the Indian audience.
The story of the film is based on the sudden arrival of Han (played by Rannvijay Singh) and its impact on the monotonous life of Ching (Ayesha Takia).  She falls in love with him only to be shattered when he disappears just as abruptly. Ching calls Han’s parents and it is revealed that he had died many years ago.

Sonakshi Sinha is mostly seen sporting Being Human t-shirts. We guess, she loves the sling bag too.. The Dabangg actress makes sure to match her tees with her flip-flops and also, her watch!
Like her look???

Back in the year 2006, Sushmita Sen and Manav Menon were dating each other and there then things went sour between them and they walked their own ways. But now, after five years of distance between the two, buzz has it that the duo are back together. This has come as a big surprise to the film industry.
Manav Menon is an ad-filmmaker. Though Sush hasn’t confirmed anything yet, the ex couple have been spotted together at several occasions.
Trusted sources reveals “when the two were previously seeing each other, Sushmita’s daughter Renee did not quite get along with Manav and this time round that seems to have changed. Manav has turned a page, has become quite spiritual, and is making more of an effort with little Ms Sen and the two seem to be getting along.”
Well, we wonder if they are back together or “just friends”…

Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif had to get messy with tomatoes for a song in Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The messier it is, the hotter it looks.
However, the movie buffs won’t get to witness their amorous necking and petting in the song that has Kat and Hrithik wallowing in tomato pulp and puree and smashing tomatoes on each other. The song, shot in Spain with the film’s star cast and tons of tomatoes, turned out to be too hot for public consumption, it seems. Even the stars couldn’t handle the heat. So they requested the director to tone down the sizzle.
The song is about the four friends just like the theme of the film.

Seems like Kats is on a roll…
Like the cover??

Katrina Kaif looks super hot, flaunting her figure in the black Bordelle bodice wrap corset, black shorts with thigh suspenders and a translucent, gauzy skirt.
The magazine is the special makeover issue and quite rightly highlights Katrina’s transition from a cutesy girl to a siren.
Talking about Katrina’s reinvention, Anaita Shroff Adajania, Fashion Director of Vogue India, said: “Katrina best exemplifies the makeover theme. The idea for the shoot was to bring out the rawness to her sensuality. It’s a side of her that has been unseen. At the shoot, she willingly experimented and transformed into a sultry siren. We love this side of her and we love her reinvention!”

In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Katrina Kaif will be seen riding a bike for a few scenes. In the film she plays an adventurous loving girl who is a diving instructor.
In reality, Katrina did not know how to ride bikes before she signed the film. But since the scene showing her riding a bike was crucial to ZNMD, Katrina trained in bike-riding for a few days after which she was ready to take the Harley Davidson on the road.
Katrina shot the said scenes confidently and didn’t need much help in maneuvering the bike.
Now, she jokes she can hit the streets of Mumbai on a bike and would love to take out Hrithik Roshan, her co-star, for a ride.

Finally the wait is over as the most awaited doll of the year “Barbie I Can Be a Movie Star”, which is inspired by the Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif was unveiled in Mumbai. The lovely actress, lived up to her Barbie doll image, all decked up in pink. Her attire matched that of the newly launched Barbie.
“I am thrilled and excited at having the ‘I Can Be a Movie Star’ Barbie Doll inspired by me. It is almost unbelievable, that a doll that I grew up playing with is one day going to take after me, seem like me. Barbie is not just another Doll; she is one of the most popular characters in the world who is a fashionista and has a flourishing career. It is an absolute honour to be associated with Barbie,” said Katrina at the event.
Katrina clarified that the doll doesn’t have her facial features.
“It’s a small doll and there was no intention of changing its features, so it does not resemble me completely.”
At the event Katrina gifted the newly launched dolls to a few lucky young girls and posed with them on stage.

 Katrina Kaif’s career seems to be only sky rocketing despite her films bombing at the B.O of late. The latest news is that Katrina would be dancing to a special number in the film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan which will be a tribute to the gorgeous and talented Madhubala. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a Yash Raj Film’s production co-starring Imran Khan and Ali Zafar. The buzz is that the song sequence would be triggered after Katz sees a picture of Madhubala at a roadside dhaba.
Apart from the Madhubala tribute in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, rumors are also adrift that Katz will also be donning the role of Madhubala is Anurag Basu’s biopic on Kishore Kumar. We don’t know if Katrina has the ability to pull off a Madhubala but, it is sure something to look out for in the coming days. Katrina could potentially change her Sheila tag to Madhubala if she is able to pull this off. What say you gals and guys?
