Katrina Kaif has worked very hard these days and with her recnt release ‘New York’ enjoying huge success, she well deserves a holiday.
Katrina says, “Akshay had his party for Kambkakkt Ishq. I want to be here for our party. It’s a very special film for all of us. And I didn’t want to miss the moment for anything. Besides, all my sisters aren’t reaching London until 14th. So I can delay by a day.”
Katrina, who is very much in a party mood is going on a 3 month long holiday where she will be with her mother, brother and sisters and will also celebrate her birthday with them. Her family has plaaned a surprise for her on her birthday and Katrina just wants to relish the suspense.
As for her holiday destination, she says, “We net-searched, googled and finally found a place we wanted to visit.It was tough because there was no place the entire family would agree on. Or if we all liked a place there was no vacancy. We finally found a place that we all liked.”
“Quite honestly I haven’t been with my whole family for a long time. I’ve been preparing for my holiday for ages. I’ve been working like a mad woman trying to finish all my work on time. It got especially hectic as the time for me to leave approached. I was dubbing for Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and shooting two songs for Priyan’s De Dana Dan. At one point I thought I wouldn’t finish on time. But I did. And I’m really looking forward to my time with my family.”

SRK bangaya doctor

Check out Shahrukh Khan receiving honorary doctorate for his outstanding contribution in arts and culture from famous University of Berdfordshire situated in London.
SRK says,“My wife is here too. She thinks being a doctor is really serious stuff. Of all my achievements as an actor, this one is a special achievement.”
“I will entertain like Walt Disney where he says I will entertain and help people learn. But if you are asking if I will make films to teach people ABC then I doubt it, you won’t see them. But I will make films that people can go and see for three hours and then come back and study hard for their exams.”
“On one wall, where I have my personal desk, where I keep my scripts, I have the Padmashri, the French honour, the Malaysiann honour and this one will also go there. The Filmfare awards are in front of me so I am like a megalomaniac, self-centered person who likes to be surrounded by his awards.”
Congratulations, Dr.SRK

Shahid is like Aamir: Amole

Shahid Kapoor is going to portray the most difficult of his life till now, where he plays the role of twins- one who stammer and other who lisps.
Amole Gupte, who is playing the role of villain in Kaminey says, “When Shahid played Guddu, who stammers, he completely internalized all of the character’s traits, including the stammer, so the character doesn’t end up looking like a caricature.”
Shahid stayed on the sets throughout and did not retreat into his vanity van to keep absorbing the ambience and the sweaty milieu in which Guddu and Charlie had to function in their own separate ways. I know that Pankaj works in the same way. I truly believe that Shahid has inherited his father’s ability and style of performing without appearing to act. It is definitely in his genes. When you’re facing the camera with a co-star, you become compatriots in the canvas of characterization. I was startled by Shahid’s passion for excellence. I saw the same quality in Aamir Khan (Taare Zameen Par).”
So do we see another perfectionist in the making?

Jackson custody hearing rescheduled again

CNN) -- A custody hearing for singer Michael Jackson's children scheduled for Monday has been pushed back for a second time.

From left: Prince Michael Jackson II, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson and Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.

The hearing, which was originally scheduled for July 6, has been rescheduled for July 20 at the request of Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, and Jackson's former wife Debbie Rowe.
Rowe is the biological mother of two of Jackson's children -- 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., also known as Prince Michael, and 11-year-old Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. Jackson's third child, Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson II, was carried by a surrogate mother, whose name has not yet been released.
Katherine Jackson was given temporary guardianship of the children by a judge several days after her son's death.
According to Michael Jackson's will filed in 2002, he wanted his children to be cared for by his mother. If Katherine Jackson, 79, is not living, Jackson said in the will, "I nominate Diana Ross as guardian."
Ross, star of the Motown singing group the Supremes, met Jackson when he was a 9-year-old sensation. The two performed together over the years and Jackson told an interviewer in 1982 he considered Ross to be one of his true personal friends.
Jackson specifically left Rowe out of his will.
Rowe reportedly signed away her parental rights to the children after she and Jackson divorced in 1999, but an appeals court re-established her parental status in 2006.

‘Kambakkht Ishq’: Hollywood meets Bollywood

Hollywood actors are finally heading East, said Anushka Asthana in the Guardian. Kambakkht Ishq (Damn Love), directed by Akshay Kumar—who "to half the world's population" is "more famous than Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Bruce Willis put together"—was filmed at Universal Studios in Los Angeles and features appearances by Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards. It "marks the first time that Hollywood's leading stars have appeared alongside their Indian counterparts in a Bollywood blockbuster," and it's a perfect "example of the growing desire among Western actors, companies and financiers for a piece of India's" multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry. (watch the trailer for Kambakkht Ishq)Hollywood does seem "to have discovered Bollywood," said Mumtaj Begum in the Malaysia Star, but "Bollywood appears just as eager to get to know Hollywood." The "huge success of Slumdog Millionaire" illustrates the West's interest in Eastern culture, and opens up a whole new market for Indian filmmakers. And "one of the main reasons Los Angeles was chosen as a backdrop" for Kambakkht Ishq is because it's "the home of all things glamorous and glitzy," which has appeal to those in the East.Kambakkht Ishq is a perfect example of why Bollywood should not try to cater to Western audiences, said Tinselgurus. It's a "dumb" movie full of "cheesy" dialogue, "sexual connotations," scantily clad women, and offensive language—"the heroine and hero refer to each other as 'dog' and 'bitch.'" Hollywood already cranks out enough movies like that; Bollywood directors don't need to start doing it, too. "Bollywood is Bollywood" and "Hollywood is Hollywood"—let's keep it that way.

Work pressure takes a toll on Priyanka Chopra’s health

Priyanka Chopra is overworked these days. She has three back-to-back releases this month, Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Kaminey’, Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘What’s Your Rashee?” and Jugal Hansraj’s ‘Pyaar Impossible’. She is playing 12 different roles in ‘What’s Your Rashee?’ (just as Kamal Hassan did in ‘Dashaavataar’ or what Sanjeev Kapoor essayed in ‘Naya Din Nayi Raat’). Not to mention here that this kind of work demanded too much of hard work and dedication from the lady.
As a result, Priaynka’s health has suffered and she has been in and out of hospital quite frequently these days. Her mother, Dr. Madhu Chopra, is supervising her diet these days and she is under strict instructions from her that she should have home-cooked meals. So, Priyanka carries her own food even when she is in five star hotels.
Once her schedule eases, Priyanka wants to take a good break. “I am going to take sleeping pills and wake up after three days, “she says.

Jackson Docs Not Cooperating, Coroner Claims

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ two doctors who treated Michael Jackson have not been forthcoming with their medical records.Sources say Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Conrad Murray have not turned over the medical records the L.A. County Coroner's office has requested. We're told both doctors have turned over some records, but the coroner's office has not gotten the complete file from either doctor.And there's this ... We've learned a driver for Michael Jackson told coroner's officials shortly after Jackson's death that the singer was going to Dr. Klein's office multiple times a week in the months preceding his death and sometimes would spend 3 to 4 hours inside. The driver told coroner's officials Jackson appeared disoriented when he left Klein's office. This is consistent with what a bodyguard told Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies in 2004 ... when Jackson left the offices of Klein and other doctors.

We are still friends for love can always wait and career won’t.”
