CELINE DION, SINGER "I am shocked. I am overwhelmed by this tragedy. Michael Jackson has been an idol for me all my life. "He was not only a talented person, but he was unique - a genius. It's such a loss. It feels like when Kennedy died, when Elvis died. My sympathy goes to the family. It's a big loss and it's not even sinking in right now." URI GELLER, FRIEND Uri Geller says his friend Michael Jackson 'went through hell' "I'm just devastated, very, very sad. I pray that his soul is up there now. I'm still trying to hold on to the glimmer that it is not true. It is too surreal for me to absorb that ...

London, June 29 (ANI): Leaked autopsy details suggest that Michael Jackson was a virtual skeleton with only pills in his stomach, while his body was riddled with needle wounds and surgery scars at the time of his death. Experts reportedly found the singer's hips, thighs, and shoulders bore needle punctures, stemming from alleged injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years. A mass of surgery scars was also apparently spotted due to at least 13 cosmetic operations, while investigating the cause of King of Pop's shock death in Los Angeles on June 25. The autopsy purportedly showed the 'Thriller' hitmaker, once hailed for his fitness, was "severely emaciated" 8st 1oz due to his assumed consumption of just one meagre meal a day. The 5ft 10in star was also said to have virtually lost all his hair, and was discovered sporting a wig when he died. he 50-year-old bared broken ribs caused from CPR while four needle wounds were also found above o...

International superstar and pop music legend has passed away. He was 50. Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones at the 1983 Grammy Awards In his later solo career, Jackson became a superstar. His 1982 album "Thriller," with its blockbuster hits "Beat It," ''Billie Jean" and "Thriller," was the biggest-selling album of all time. That year, he first performed his trademark moonwalk dance, gliding backwards while appearing to walk forward. The singer pioneered the music video genre, and arguably became the world's top musical performer. Jackson was plagued by controversy as the years went by. He had multiple plastic surgeries and critics raised questions about his close friendships with children. Accused of molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor in 2003, he was acquitted of charges two years later. But his reputation was in tatters, and he struggled with financial problems. He was scheduled to begin a series of 50 comeback concerts in London...

On Wednesday evening, Deepika Padukone, heroine of Saif Ali Khan's home production Love Aaj Kal, made an appearance on Salman Khan's 10 Ka Dum, to promote the film. Saif Ali Khan was to join her but begged off saying he was abroad and therefore unavailable. Later that evening, it came to light that the Chote Nawab was very much in the country. In fact, he was with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. Bebo was in Delhi shooting for 3 Idiots. They were seen together in the evening at the five-star hotel they were staying at. The couple was in London last week for the T20 series but Bebo flew back early to report on her set. Says a Source, "Saif was booked to appear on 10 Ka Dum to promote Love Aaj Kal with Deepika but he called up the producers Anita and Siddharth Basu a few days before the event and said he couldn't be there as he'd be out of the country." Saif says, "I was not in town and therefore unable to manage it. 10 Ka Dum is a great show and a good platf...

Katrina Kaif is super excited, and nervous, about the release of ‘New York' Katrina Kaif can’t wait for “New York” to release. After all, this is probably the first time she has gone de-glam, playing a character who could very much be your girl-next-door. While Kat admits that the ultimate fate of this Kabir Khan-directed film rests in the hands of the audience, she says she did have a blast while shooting, especially because she could play a college girl – something she missed out in real life as she started working early in life. In a chat, she talks about her forthcoming film and being ‘herself’ on screen: There has been a lot of talk about your character in ‘New York’. While some say this is your best role ever, some talk of you going de-glam… When I was offered this film, I remember telling Adi (Aditya Chopra) and Kabir to give me a film which is more ‘me’, like a ‘Namastey London’. And he told me that if I do this film I will understand that this role is more ‘me’ than any of...

According to sources, for the promotion of Anil Kapoor’s home production “Short Kut – The Con Is On”, Akshaye Khanna and Anil were to appear on Salman Khan’s TV show “10 Ka Dum”. Everything was fine and the dates too had been fixed. But suddenly Salman suggested that it would be better to have Arshad Warsi and Anil Kapoor on the show rather than Akshaye Khanna and Anil Kapoor. He also justified it by saying that Akshaye has got a very serious type of image which would make the show quite boring. So to make it interesting he suggested Arhsad’s name, who also features in the film. Anil, who is a good friend of Salman, did not have a problem with this and the fresh dates for the shoot are being worked on. Apparently this comes a day after Anil blasted Akshaye for not promoting “Short Kut”. Akshaye has a problem with Arshad and hence he does not want to be part of any promotions. With this episode, it seems that Arshad and Anil have joined hands and they do not want Akshaye anywhere in the...

Sanjay Dutt performed a stunning action sequence for his new film ‘ Luck ’. He jumped from a speeding train, blindfolded and with his hands tied behind his back without any cables or dummies! When we spoke to Soham Shah, the director of Luck, about 50 plus Dutt's scary sequence he said, "It's Sanju's introductory sequence. He jumps, along with other actors, from a running train, blindfolded with his hands tied behind his back." "It's about these characters testing their luck. We set up cables and kept harnesses ready. So, if anything went wrong Sanju would not be injured. But when we narrated the scene to him, he said he didn't want to use any safety measures or dummies. He was kicked about shooting such a high-voltage action scene on his own." Action director Allan Amin led the action team. Soham adds, "The train sequence with five running trains was technically impossible to set up in Mumbai or any other big city, so we shot in Goa. ...

Karan Johar's forthcoming film 'My Name is Khan', Shah Rukh Khan will be sharing the screen with President Obama lookalike. The film is currently being shot in San Fransisco and other parts of United States.

He was written off after the debacle of "Chandni Chowk To China" and "8X10 Tasveer", but Akshay Kumar is back to entertain audiences with his full-on masala act in the action-thriller "Kambakkht Ishq" that experts hope will pull the industry out of the dumps. "You would be foolish to write him off," said Anees Bazmee, who has delivered two superhits "Singh Is Kinng" and "Welcome" with Akshay. "Don't forget that he is the same man who has been the darling of the masses and given so many back-to-back money spinners. He cannot be penalised for one 'Chandni Chowk To China' throughout his life." After "Chandni Chowk...", Akshay suffered another setback in the form of Nagesh Kukunoor's "8X10 Tasveer". "'8X10 Tasveer' was never meant to be blockbuster material to begin with, even though critics insisted on calling it 'the Akshay Kumar' film. Also, a terrible climax wa...

Every time an A-list actor builds his body much noise is made about how he got his six and eight packs. We did not hear much about it, so we were rather surprised to see Shahid Kapur sporting a shirtless look and a chiseled body on a poster of his latest film “Kaminey”. Shahid is playing a double role in the film, and the body is for the character of Charlie, who needs to look tough, mean and strong. Apparently, Shahid went through advanced training for almost eight months to get this physique. He trained for two hours a day, five days a week. According to his trainer Abbas Ali, the focus was on form, speed and power. “For a running shot in ‘Kaminey’ where Shahid had to run shirtless, my aim was to make him look like a sprinter, not an actor," he said. Shahid is a strict vegetarian, so the diet required to build the physique was a challenge. “We followed a diet of high carbs, moderate proteins and moderate good fats. We removed maida [flour] from his diet and gave him muesli, oats...

The much-talked about Hrithik Roshan starrer "Kites" is scheduled for December release and producer Rakesh Roshan and director Anurag Basu have also agreed on how different the English and Hindi versions of the film would be. The supposed steamy scenes between Hrithik and his co-star Barbara Mori would be the same in both versions. "We can't cheat Hindi audiences. The so-called steamy scenes will be the same in both versions. The visuals will remain unchanged in both. There won't be anything radically different in the two versions because Hrithik and Barbara speak English-Hindi and Spanish, respectively in both English and Hindi," Basu told IANS. Also there would be voice-overs in Hindi and English, both done by Hrithik whose love story the film chronicles in a style that would recall David Lean's "Brief Encounter" and K. Balachander's "Ek Duuje Ke Liye". About being designated the director of the decade at International Indian Fi...

As his film “New York” is all set to release, John Abraham has a scary incident to narrate, which took place during the film’s shooting in the US. Apparently, director Kabir Khan wasn’t too happy as there were not too many stunts in the movie. So he decided to shoot one particular scene and the location chosen a public building in Philadelphia. On hearing this, John said a flat no. But finally had to give in to Kabir’s demand. He had never imagined that he would be stranded on the 20th floor of the building for two hours because President Barrack Obama’s was passing by with his entire entourage and for security reasons the entire area was shut down. The entire unit too had to go inside the building, leaving John hanging from the cables on the 20th floor. He just had two suction pumps for his safety. Finally he was rescued after two hours when the team was allowed to come out. John said that shooting with Kabir is always an experience. He has previously worked with the director in “Kabu...

Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif, who has made a mark in Bollywood with her stunning good looks, says that she will never do a film for money. The 24-year-old actress, whose earnings support her family of seven sisters, said there are times when she feels that she needs the money being offered to do a particular film. “I am in a panic situation. But, If I succumb to such pressures, I know the audience will not respect me,” said Katrina. Katrina, who made her debut in Bollywood with box-office disaster Boom has not looked back since finding success with Akshay Kumar starrer Namaste London. Looking back at her career Katrina says that she considers her journey so far in the industry as a learning experience.

Bollywood Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh was detained at an airport in the US for over an hour because the immigration officials refused to believe that he was an Indian. Neil said that the incident happened earlier this year when he arrived in New York to shoot for Kabir Khan's film New York which has a backdrop of 9/11 terror attacks. "I can pass off as a Britisher, American, Kashmiri easily because my skin tone and complexion can blend anywhere. But this incident changed my attitude of how I will approach my role in New York which also dwells upon discrimination," Neil, grandson of legendary playback singer Mukesh, said. The film is about three friends, played by John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif and how their lives change forever after the terror attacks. Neil recalled asking the official if his accent was not proof enough that he was an Indian national. "I told him to google search my name. When he realised his folly, he was still not willing to let me g...

Shiney Ahuja had eased up when he met his family at court and he even shouted an ‘I love you’ at his wife Anupam before the court proceedings began. But little did Ahuja know that there were a pack of ravenous inmates waiting for him to get back to the lock-up. The actor was sent to the Arthur Road jail where he was to share space with 15 prisoners all booked for different offences. The inmates soon recognised the actor and teased him saying, “ Arey yeh to wohi filmstar hai, jisne apni bai ka game bajaya .” They then began to grope him and slapped him around. Shiney soon started crying and screaming for his life. Shiney was crying for the safety of his honour. He called the guards to shift him from the cell and they put him in a corner of another cell with a guard for safety. But that wasn’t the end of it, when he was leaving from the jail the inmates began abusing him on his way out and created a huge ruckus. A maid who worked for the actor before the one who claims to have been raped...

Akshay Kumar now has a new love – ‘Parkour’, a French sport, which is the art of body movement. He first came to know about it when he tried it out for the Thums Up advertisement, which showed him jumping from one building to another and grabbing a bottle from a running truck. Now, he is quite fascinated with the sport and can’t get enough of it. Parkour, often referred to as PK, is the art of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and speedily as possible, overcoming obstacles in the way with ease. Akshay has been studying the sport for a couple of years now, and is all set to undertake professional training in it. Sources say that Akshay has got in touch with the best Parkour teachers in the world to train him in the next level of the sport, which is supposed to be very strenuous. The actor is totally smitten by Parkour, and has taught himself all there is to know about it. However, he is not interested in showcasing his Parkour skills on the silver screen. He plan...

Paying Guests isn’t exactly what the doctor ordered at this time immediately after the producer-multiplex conflict got over, but it serves as a good prelude to the big budget movies following it in the coming weeks, as it will only increase the hunger of the audience to watch a good movie. Mind you, it’s not bad but it’s not good either. It has its funny moments where you jump from your seat laughing but it lacks the style and in some parts the treatment is pathetic. It tries to live up to the style and sleekness of Dostana but fails miserably. The story revolves around four guys (Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffery, Aashish Choudhary, Vatsal Seth) , three of whom have been fired from their jobs and have also been asked to vacate the house where they stay as pg’s by the owner Asrani. In their effort to find a place to stay in, they stumble upon a house which is owned by Johnny Lever and Dilnaz Paul, but the catch is that the people staying in the house have to be married. So taking a c...

Cops slap tough clause on actor after businessman alleges insult to Prophet in a recent interview Khalid Babu Qureshi is insistent on dragging Shah Rukh Khan to court. Enraged at King Khan for allegedly making a negative statement about the Prophet in a magazine, the Bandra businessman filed a police complaint against the actor and the publication last evening. The offence is non-bailable, say the police. Qureshi, who is the president of the All India Jamaitul Quresh, alleged that Shah Rukh had used unparliamentary language against Prophet Mohammed, which is unacceptable for the Muslim community, in the June edition of the Time and Style magazine. "We will not take this lying down. The issue was released on June 6, but we have received no replies from the actor or the publication so far. That is why we decided to file a complaint against the actor and the publication today," said Qureshi. When asked whether they were waiting for an apology, Qureshi replied, "We will take...

Deepika Padukone , who has an admirer in Hollywood-filmmaker Rob Cohen, feels she isn’t the only Bollywood actor to have won the west over. Deepika feels, “The West is now more aware of Bollywood beauty and talent, and it isn’t my victory alone. Most of the young Bollywood actors — Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Sonam — have been noticed in Hollywood in some way or the other.’’ She graciously concedes that it is “the media that has made this possible.’’ She adds, “Talent was always there in our country, but with the media having such a wide reach today, we can reach across the globe more easily.’’

Bollywood is shell-shocked by the Shiney Ahuja maid episode . There is widespread disbelief that the actor could have shamed the industry in such a manner. They wonder how the nice guy Shiney could have resorted to such a heinous act. His co-stars, directors and producers react... Shilpa Shetty: It's shocking! I can't believe it. We don't know for sure what transpired between Shiney and the girl and we really can't say what the truth us. But if it really happened it's sad. Sudhir Mishra: As I was shooting, I woke up late on Sunday to confusing stories about Shiney. What can I say? The Shiney that I know and the Shiney that I hear about now are two different entities. Though he has been a little upset with me for six months because I was working with other actors, we're very close. Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi was not just the film that launched him but it was also a turning point in my career. It bonded us for a lifetime. There were so many women on the sets and t...

We are back in Bombay B-Town folk who had flown off to a foreign location for an awards ceremony returned to the city on Monday morning. It is official denim is the choice of travel wear for our divas.

In a bid to occupy the top slot in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra are vying for meatier roles than the other. Kat seems to have won the latest round in their fight for dominance. Karan Johar is said to have signed Katrina Kaif for “Dostana 2”. This has obviously not gone down well with Priyanka. She attained tremendous popularity for her role in “Dostana” and would have loved to be part of the sequel too. Secondly, she feels Karan, who is a close friend of Shah Rukh, has signed SRK’s enemy Salman’s girlfriend and not her, even though Priyanka is part of SRK and Karan’s camp. As for Katrina, she is just thrilled to have been signed by none other than Karan Johar, and that too in place of Priyanka Chopra!

The male protagonist of the movie has the gift of clairvoyance. We wish the makers had it too; to fore-see the disaster this movie is! Really, didn't anyone notice that the movie was trash while making it? Nihal SIngh from Chandigarh (Jackky Bhagnani) has the gift of seeing the future and he is obsessed with science. So he comes to Mumbai to study at a university called Science College (seriously). There he makes friends with the nerds and is ragged by Kabir (Akshaye Kapoor) and hottie Meesha (Vaishali Desai). Two-faced professor Verma (Rishi Kapoor) becomes the naive boy's mentor. With his gift, he wins the heart of the hottie and her gang. All is well until he has the responsibility of foiling the plans of some terrorists, led by Marshall (Rahul Dev) and his sidekick, played by wannabe Rachna Shah (her name wasn't mentioned). Now here comes the fun part of ripping the movie apart. I was lucky enough to go with my...

Says Bebo, arguing that she's wearing swimwear not to win titles but because scripts demand it After Kareena Kapoor made headlines with her bikini bod in Tashan, she has now donned a swimsuit for her upcoming film Kambakkht Ishq. Bebo is not afraid of being a sex symbol, "From my generation, I am the first actress who is a combination of talent-cum-glamour. How many actresses of my time are not just performers but can also carry off hot sexy outfits with equal ease?" She says her beau Saif loves her sexy avatar, "Saif's extremely proud that I can dress in simple cotton Indian clothes and act in Omkara and carry off backless swimwear in Kambakkht Ishq, with equal ease." However she isn't fighting for the sex-symbol titles, "I am not aiming for any title. If people want to give me the hottest sex symbol title tag, it's their choice. For me, it's all about what the script demands. My wearing hot outfits are not intentional. I don't wear the...

What is common between Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan ? The two are playing double roles, their characters belong to two different time zones in their forthcoming films, and the two have to spend hours preparing for their double makeover. For Vipul Shah's "Action Replay", Akshay spends at least an hour every morning getting into a 1970s' sporty look without the help of prosthetics. "It's the toughest role I've played. The preparation takes a lot of time. I've Paul Pattison - who did Mel Gibson's look in 'Braveheart' - doing my look. But the effort is worth it. When I look in the mirror after Paul is done, I can't recognise myself," Akshay told IANS. If Akshay promises to look unrecognisable in "Action Replay", Saif's look in his production venture "Love Aaj Kal" (pictured above) shocked his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. "She couldn't recognise me at first when she saw me as a Sardarji," said Saif...
