Kareena's mom to be her neighbour


kaeena kapoorwill be shifting residence in July this year, but before people think she's flying the family coop, here's the truth! Kareena's mother Babita will be staying in the flat opposite her. Says a source close to Kareena, "Bebo and Babita have been staying at park avenue in Bandra for the last few years. But a few months ago, the mother-daughter duo bought two flats in Khar on the same floor, one facing the other.

Contrary to most new star homes Kareena's pad won't be a spacious 3 BHK. It's a cosy pad almost like an independent unit where Bebo can entertain her visitors and friends without disturbing her mother, who is just a doorbell away."

Kareena's new flat is being done by akshay kumar's wife, interior designer, twinkle khanna. Says Kareena, "Apart from being a close friend, Tina knows my taste. She has a beautiful sense of style and I have left everything to her. She has a free hand to do what she wants." Babita's flat is not being done up by Twinkle.The actresses' new home will be "cosy and comfortable. It has got earthy tones with a wooden finish and the colour scheme is dramatic and flamboyant gold and dark colours. She adds, "My bedroom is my favourite place, where I like to relax after a hard day's shoot. I love watching films, so I will house my DVD collection there." Kareena's new flat is 10 minutes away from Saif's new flat in Bandra.Continues Bebo, "The flat is quite empty right now. Twinkle had dropped in a couple of months ago to see the place. The basic groundwork is done now. Three months more and the building and interior designing part will be over." Incidentally, Twinkle has designed rani mukerjee's and tabu's homes.

Shilpa shetty = Main bhi producer


If the long list was not enough, the next celeb to join the band wagon of actor-turned-producer is hot hot Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. She is all set to produce a yet untitled big budget action-comedy film under her production house S2 Global Productions.
The film will have two heroines with obviously Shilpa playing the one. Search is on for the second role. According to her publicist, Bhagwagar, Shilpa has now become choosy about her roles and takes up only those which give her complete creative satisfaction.
Shilpa’s forthcoming movies include Sunny Deol and Neeraj Pathak’s ‘The Man’, and an international venture titled ‘Hanuman’ with filmmaker Uru Patel. ’The Man’ has Shilpa portraying the role of a simple, dedicated girl who rises to instant global stardom - very similar to her real life experience. In ‘Hanuman’, she would be portraying Goddess Sita.
Our only concern are the tattoos on Shilpa’s body. So, what do we see next? A tattooed Sita?

Bangkok suddenly seems to be have become the second home for Bollywood these days. Saying so, coz recall all the Bollywood stars and half of them are in Bangkok either for work or fun (read pleasure).

Also stationed in Bangkok is another A-star, Akshay Kumar, who is shooting for Nikhil Advani’s ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ with pretty and nubile co-star Deepika Padukone.
Talking about Deepika, Ranbir Kapoor could just not be left out. So, instead of leaving his prized possession in the hands of ill famous Bollywood playboy, Akshay Kumar, (Don’t’ mind Twinkle!), the Kapoor prince decided to fly off to Bangkok to guard his lady love. Ranbir got an assignment to do a photoshoot for Filmfare magazine in Bangkok and, knowing that Deepika was already there, the actor lapped it up excitedly.
On Friday, he left for Bangkok for the photoshoot. Now, the love birds are surely painting the city of Bangkok red.

Urmila has been given a makeover for her look in the film.

Celina jeitley faces abuse from pakistani cricketers


This one is the third incident of abuse and insult with Celina Jaitley, friends! This time the devil comes from the guests from across the border.
This Sunday, Celina Jaitley was in Delhi for her performance at the Indian Cricket League’s match between Pakistan and India. However, after she had finished her performance and was leaving with her security personnel around the stadium, she heard loud abuses in Hindi coming out of the Pakistani players’ enclosure.
Though she refuses to share the nastier comments or to put blame on anyone, some of the less abrasive comments she heard included, “Move her away, she is spoiling the mood of the entire match,” and “Why does she need such heavy security? Is she Osama Bin Laden?”
Recalls Celina with a shudder, “At first I couldn’t believe where it was coming from. I still want to give them the benefit of the doubt because it’s so hard to believe they could behave this way.” Celina wanted to rush out of the spot to her car, “But I couldn’t because the security guys wouldn’t let me pass. So I was stuck listening to myself being described in the most colorful language.”
This certainly isn’t a friendly gesture coming from sports to entertainment!
