Salman Khan to marry NOW..!!
When Aishwarya Rai got married to Abhishek Bachchan, there were rumors that actor Salman Khan just might tie the knot his long-time girlfriend Katrina Kaif soon - meaning that he couldn't get Aishwarya back any longer. Now that the actor has crossed 40, his family members are more than keen to watch him settle down.
Girlfriend Katrina Kaif's mom flew down from London recently and had a nice exchange
of thoughts with Salman Khan's family. This had only increased the gossips of a marriage that was soon going to happen. Now that Salman has at last got himself out of all the legal mess that he was involved in, he too is not rebuffing the idea.
There is only one hitch now. The actress is finally being recognized for her work. She is getting plenty of new film offers. You don't assume that she wants to ruin it all by getting married now, do you…?

Lady Gaga Doubting Ex Boyfriend
February 28th, 2010
The April issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, upon which she graces the cover, features music superstar Lady Gaga recounting an old boyfriend who doubted her.
One she's not divergent to rubbing her success in the face of now.
"I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be designated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail," the singer recounts.
Gaga adds, "I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f**king deli without hearing or seeing me.'"
Some might call that quote arrogant, but it's hard to blame her for relishing that just a bit, given how hard she worked to succeed, and then stay at the top.
GaGa Ooh La La
Someone dared to doubt this.
She also says she "ate sh*t for so long" trying to make it in music and "I've always been delusional determined to the point where people don't understand me."
Hopefully Matthew Williams, her current beau, is not one of those people. He's worked with her for so long, we imagine they click professionally and personally.
Also noteworthy is the conservative lingerie she wears on the Cosmo cover.
After all, we're talking about a girl with crazy, avant garde style, who wears hair phones, masks, bulges in her pants and ...
Lady Gaga can definitely pull of a variety of bizarre and regular style choices. We expect her to show likewise flexibility and prolonged existence in the world of music, too.
Riya Sen ready for Bengali movies of all genres
Feb 15,2010
Kolkata, After making her debut in Bengali films with a small role in Rituparno Ghosh's 'Abohomaan', Riya Sen says she is open to do movies of all genres in her mother tongue.
Riya, who began her acting career in 1991 as a child artiste with Hindi film 'Vishkanya', says her venture into Bengali films got postponed as she wanted her first Bengali film to be directed by Ghosh.
'I always wanted my first film to be directed by him. And I must say I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He is a family friend. I was very comfortable,' Riya told IANS in an interview.
She played the daughter-in-law of the protagonist in 'Abohomaan', produced by Reliance BIG Pictures, and says she loved the role of the young, middle-class Bengali bride.
'She is rebellious and English speaking. I was completely at home,' she said.
'Now that I have started acting in Bengali films, I will look forward to working with various directors. I would like to act in films of all genres,'.
Asked whether she was satisfied with the way her film career has progressed, Riya said: 'Yeah, I am very happy. I have lately been choosy about films. When you start your career, you act in all kinds of movies. You don't pick and choose. But later on, you may feel that there were some films where you should have given a second thought before saying yes.'
The actress, who has acted in Bollywood hits like 'Jhankaar Beats', 'Qayamat' and 'Apna Sapna Money Money', says walking the ramp made her more confident while facing the camera as an actress.
'I guess the experience adds to one's confidence, though not to a large extent.'
Daughter of former Bollywood diva Moon Moon Sen and granddaughter of Bengali film legend Suchitra Sen, Riya claims hard work and not heredity made her a successful actress.
'It is after all hard work and sheer hard work which pays. And I am game for slogging it out. I don't care if people compare me to my grandmother. I can never be like my grandmother. Nor was my grandmother ever like me. People may compare me with her or my mother Moon Moon. But I am cool about it,' she said.

“A fan of Salman Khan wakes up every morning to Salman’s picture. Funnily enough we’ve heard of people starting their day by looking at god’s picture, but for this fan– Salman is God. His house is like a shrine dedicated to Salman,” we hear from an eyewitness. “The fan carries Salman’s picture in his wallet and keeps looking at it throughout the day– Salman is an inspiration to the fan. This guy follows all of Salman’s films enthusiastically, his charitable works and his life in general,” adds the witness.
We are sure that after knowing about this fan, Salman Khan would be eager to give darshan to him quite literally!

Michael Jackson Autopsy Report: Complete, Even Weirder Than You Think..!
February 10, 2010
The full autopsy report on the late Michael Jackson shed light on the King of Pop like never before - and the results are probably even stranger than you're thinking.
If you've seen any Michael Jackson pictures from, say, the last 20 years, you knew there was weird stuff going on there. So weird we don't even have to elaborate.
The pop icon's death last June not only ignited waves of new and rekindled interest in his musical legacy, but posed dozens of questions about his bizarre lifestyle.
Some notable items gleaned from the 51-page coroner's report, which was released Monday and is based on both MJ's autopsy and a postmortem home search:
ThrillerMichael Jackson: Last Rehearsal
1. Jackson was telling the truth when he said his odd skin color shift stemmed from Vitiligo, a condition resulting in white patches appearing on dark skin.
2. While his Vitiligo was real, his hair was not. MJ's hair "was sparse" and connected to a wig. His real hair was short and curly; the wig long and straight.
3. Michael had eyeliner, lips and eyebrows permanently tattooed.
4. There are 61 photos were taken of Jackson's body before and during the procedure - way more than you see taken by examiners on CSI or NCIS.
5. Most significantly, in light of the charges against Dr. Conrad Murray, standards for administering Propofol were not met: "recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present."
I remember to be a model in my early days- John Abraham
In his early days as a model John Abraham had even walked the ramp in a lehenga! The macho actor said though some in the audience were taken aback at his outfit, he is grateful to the designer Mona Lamba who gave him the opportunity in 2000.
“I remember walking the ramp in a lehenga you (Mona of the designer duo MonaPali) had designed. As I was walking I saw some in the audience loved it, while others were a bit taken aback. But thank you madam, for giving me the opportunity in my early days as a model,” John told reporters here.
He was in town to unveil the logo of the first ever Kolkata Fashion and Lifestyle Week.
Commenting on his fashion statement, he said: “For me, the best fashion is the one I am comfortable with.”
John has no favourite designers, but said: “Among Kolkata designers Sabyasachi (Mukherjee) is brilliant.”
Encouraging the young designers, he said: “You all have a long way to go. Remember, fashion is not about actors who wear your dresses, but about the dress itself.”
