Elle Magazine blamed for 'whitening' Bollywood star's skin

Elle Magazine blamed for 'whitening' Bollywood star's skin: Readers have accused the publication of digitally "bleaching" the 37-year-old's skin so that she appears several shades lighter. Inside the magazine, Bachchan also appears in a series of glamorous photographs with pale skin, the Daily Mail reports. Fans commenting on the cover were upset by the image. One wrote: "It seems like lighter skin is always in fashion, as if darker skin is something to be frowned upon."Another said "They photoshop and airbrush ever freaking cover... every magazine does it."

The website Styleite.com said Buchan was quite fair-skinned but did look "excessively pale" on the cover. The race row comes after the fashion magazine was accused of lightening the skin of Precious star Gabourey Sidibe on the cover of the US edition. The magazine denied it. Skin colour is a sensitive issue in India, where the whitening market is worth millions despite strong opposition from groups who believe the products are discriminatory and outdated.

Madhuri Dixit busy in commercial ad: One of the finest actresses and dancers of bollywood Madhuri Dixit is in India and is as busy as any other bollywood mainstream top actress would be. Apart from shooting for a dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa that airs on Sony, she is also reportedly shooting for an advertisement, the price of which is still undisclosed.

She is also considering acting offers from Sanjay Bhansali, Karan Johar, Yash Raj films and UTV. She has 4-5 good movie offers, says Nath his manager, and she will soon be finalizing one script. She is married to Sriram Nene a heart doctor based in the US, with 2 beautiful sons, who will be joining her for Christmas holidays.

Her magic on the reality show seems to be working as people have loved her on the show so far and are keen to see her in a movie.

Katrina Kaif could be supreme the roost in Bollywood

Katrina Kaif could be supreme the roost in Bollywood: Katrina Kaif could be prevailing the roost in Bollywood, but she had to challenge rejection at MasterChef India secured by Akshay Kumar. The judges spat the omelette that she had actually whipped up on the show following tasting it, abandoning Kaif practically in tears.

Kaif appears on the finale episode of the show tonight as part of the promotions of Tees Maar Khan.
Kaif could not handle rejection easily. Asked about her uncharacteristic display of emotions over just an omelette, Katrina doesn't do her usual I-am-too-prim-to-react act.

She says, "I agree I was very upset. But it was not 'just an omelette'. I made it on the show. That is the only thing I can make in the kitchen. And I'm very confident about my omelettes. When everyone on MasterChef hated its taste, I was devastated. I felt humiliated."It took Katrina a while to figure out the reason why her preparation turned out so badly.

"Only later I got to know that after I had finished making my omelette, Akshay poured a whole cup of salt into it. That's why it became unpalatable," she says. Though Akshay cracked up in glee at his own prank, Katrina was not amused. "An omelette is the only proof of my cooking skills. I didn't feel good about it being messed up."

Anushka's triumphant three times for Yash Raj

Anushka's triumphant three times for Yash Raj: First RAB NE BANA DI JODI, then BADMAASH COMPANY and now BAND BAAJA BAARAAT. Yes, you are absolutely on dot, these are lead actress Anushka Sharma's hat trick of successes for India's premier production venture Yash Raj Films.

Although Anushka has been refuting the news of a three film contract with Yash Raj and she cites Nikhil Advani's PATIALA HOUSE (which she claims to have signed even before BAND BAAJA BAARAAT) to substantiate her point, but as things stand today Anushka has indeed completed her three films with Yash Raj and that too very successfully.

All her above mentioned films will go down as profitable ventures for Yash Raj Films obviously with the blockbuster RAB NE BANA DI JODI being the most successful of them all, thanks to King Khan. Though Anushka was not credited much with the success of RAB NE..., despite a brilliant all round performance that too opposite SRK, yet there is no doubt that it's incredible success did help her become an instant hit with the mass and class (very much like what OSO did for Deepika and DABANGG has done for Sonakshi). This translated into a wonderful second innings via BADMAASH COMPANY and then came BAND BAAJA BAARAAT1, where Anushka was one of the only few known faces.

As we had been saying time and again, BAND BAAJA BAARAAT has indeed turned out to be the dark horse, and though it did open slow but it's positive word-of-mouth worked beautifully and the film has shown one of the best trending of 2010, as it has been good and steady even in its second week which means that the film indeed would turn out to be a successful venture for Yash Raj. The final outcome though is still awaited but all credit to Anushka for pulling this off and we are sure that after this Yash Raj (and especially Aditya who showed so much faith in her) would want her do more films for them, as was Anushka's wish (we had informed our readers that Anuskha is ready to do ten more films for Aditya!) Here's wishing many more hat tricks for Anushka and Yash Raj Films, separately or as a team.

Salman Khan is the top Btown performer of 2010

Salman Khan is the top Btown performer of 2010: The usual frontrunners like Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and even megastar Amitabh Bachchan failed to charm audiences with their big budget outings this year except for Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn who were followed by underdogs and first-timers. Here's an IANS list of the top actors on the basis of their box office performances.

Salman Khan : Nobody beats this "Bigg Boss" when it comes to pleasing audiences with his authenticity and irrevocable charm. Living up to his "Wanted" legacy, 'Robinhood Pandey' stood tall as the invincible king of Bollywood this year with his mofussil mazaa providing contemporary vintage corrupt cop saga "Dabangg" that flushed the debacle of his first release of the year "Veer" to obscurity.

- Ajay Devgn : Comedy, politics, action - you name it, he's done it. Proving his mettle with the maximum releases for an actor this year in "Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?" "Raajneeti", "Golmaal 3", "Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai" and the forgetful "Aakrosh", the National Award winner emerged as the most versatile and dependable actor. To top it all, he is set to close the year with the live-action animation "Toonpur Ka Superhero".

- Ranbir Kapoor : Nobody believed that this Kapoor family scion will portray the nuances of a conniving and scheming politician with such perfection in "Raajneeti". But this chocolate boy turned into desi Michael Corleone and surprised everyone with his immaculate performance in the political thriller that hit bull's eye at the box office. His antics as lover boy in "Anjaana Anjaani", however, couldn't live up to the wickedness of the character he portrayed.

- Omkar Das Manikpuri : No six packs, no film connections and no fanfare, but still this 39-year-old native from Bhilai managed to make his place in a billion hearts with his vulnerable, suicidal and tattered appearance as soon as his modest debut "Peepli Live" hit the screens. The result - you had the common man and now he's got a name, Natha.

- Raghubir Yadav - "Massey Sahib" returned and how! The award-winning seasoned actor might be an irregular with his attendance on the big screen, but when it came to playing Budhia, Natha's elder brother in "Peepli Live", this Mungerilal just struck the right note.

- Shah Rukh Khan : Businessman, actor - actor, businessman. The Badshah of Bollywood, a name often synonymous with larger-than-life cinema on the big screen, found it difficult to maintain his crown this year despite pulling off the role of an autistic youth in "My Name Is Khan" with aplomb. Still wondering why he's on the list? Because he's Khan...Shah Rukh Khan!

- Ali Zafar : While illegal Bollywood discs run on the neighbouring nation's home theatres with panache, the Hindi film industry got an original import in Zafar from Pakistan to produce a sleeper hit "Tere Bin Laden". As for the singer-actor's performance, he definitely left the fairer sex wanting for more.

- Ranvir Singh : Again no pomp and show and no filmy father but this lad from Mumbai managed to do just the appropriate justice to his role as a Delhi munda in Yash Raj Films' hit "Band Baaja Baaraat". With a dream debut and a petite co-star in Anushka Sharma, he was praised for carrying both the film and the actress on his shoulders.

- Rishi Kapoor : Now this is what you call a comeback. Not that Rishi Kapoor has not been active on the celluloid but he certainly has not been doing lead roles. "Do Dooni Char" just brought back the plump kid from "Mera Naam Joker", in his twilight days now, to the big screen in an ovation worthy slice of cinema.

- Ronit Roy : More than 15 years after he made his big screen debut before making a phenomenal breakthrough on the small screen, this actor just proved he has it in him to shake and not stir the audiences with his captive and powerful performance. If there are any adjectives to go by, truly the underdog.

Sonakshi Sinha is mark envoy of Dyna Soaps

Sonakshi Sinha is mark envoy of Dyna Soaps: She came, she saw, she 'Khan-querred'. We are indeed talking about the one and only Gen-Next dynamite Sonakshi Sinha, the very PYT who was one of the vital names instrumental in making her debut film Dabangg a mega success.

And once you are a top-notch heroine, it's not just the films, but also the ad world starts beckoning you. After having signed Joker, Shirish Kunder's 3-D bonanza, Sonakshi is now all set to enter the ad world with a bang!

The pretty actress has now been signed up as the brand ambassador for 'Dyna Soaps', so reports our sources. When we tried calling up the company officials, they confirmed the news, but refused to reveal any further details. It maybe may recall that Katrina Kaif was the previous brand ambassador for the said brand. Watch this space for more details.

Katrina Kaif & Salman Khan overwhelmingly downloaded superstars of 2010

Katrina Kaif & Salman Khan overwhelmingly downloaded superstars of 2010: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif may have parted ways after being together for six years but their fans don’t seem to get tired of them. According to reports in the media, Sallu and Kat have won the top spot in the list of the most downloaded celebrities for the year 2010. This means that Indians love downloading pictures of Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan on their mobile phones and through internet services.

The survey was conducted recently taking into consideration 25 million wallpapers and images of various Bollywood celebrities that were downloaded throughout the running year. And it was Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif pictures that formed the maximum part of the 25 million downloaded images.

The strange thing is that Salman Khan has surpassed even Shahrukh Khan in the most downloaded celebrity list. Following Salman Khan and SRK are younger actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Shahid Kapoor.

On the other hand, Katrina Kaif’s pretty face was preferred to other Bollywood actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The list makes clear the fact that it is not only their box office ratings that affect the people’s choice when it comes to downloading their favourite celebrity’s pictures.

Saif Ali Khan holding up for Kareena Kapoor to declare yes to marriage

Saif Ali Khan holding up for Kareena Kapoor to declare yes to marriage: cThere has been enough discussion about Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s marriage! We have heard lots of statement from both of them but none of them have given real indication about the time they would tie the knot.

Saif has already taken the marriage vows once and is happy with two kids from his former wife Amrita Singh. So, it seems there is no hurry from his side and Kareena is also at the peak of her career and is only 30 now. The hottest couple of Bollywood does not seem to be interested in tying the knot at this moment considering their career is going great.

However, Saif is quite intelligent and shifted the question towards Kareena, saying that he is ready to take the vows once Kareena is comfortable and happy with it. The couple has been dating since last three years and the question has been haunting them since then. Saif once made it clear that Bebo is not required to convert herself before getting married to him, so there is no problem in this aspect. She has also reached a comfort level with his two kids and family, so no barrier there too.

So, why is Kareena taking time to say yes to ‘chote nawab’? She has given enough to Bollywood and can easily continue her journey in the industry even after turning ‘choti begum’, considering the fact that Saif’s mother and sister are actresses themselves.

Saif says that he will remain committed the same way even if he is not married to Kareena but we think the lady should come out with a serious decision very soon. In 2009, Bebo was quoted saying that she would get married by 2012 and would like to have two kids. We hope she sticks to her decision!

Madhuri Dixit is back to modeling

Madhuri Dixit is back to modeling: Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit is back in the thick of things shooting not only for the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' that brought her back to India this time, but also an endorsement for which she has apparently been paid an unheard-of price.

According to reliable sources, Madhuri and her old business manager Rakesh Nath (Rikku) have finalised at least three other endorsements that would keep the actress busy for a good part of January. When contacted Rikku, who has looked after Madhuri's career from the start, admits Madhuri's endorsement plans.

'She is at this very moment shooting for an endorsement campaign for Hindustan Lever product. Other endorsements are being finalised. Meetings are on,' he said. The buzz in the film industry is that Madhuri is determined to make a comeback in movies.

Apparently Yash Raj Films, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Karan Johar and UTV have come up with tempting offers. Madhuri is on the verge of signing one of these. 'You're right. She has got four-five very good offers. She will definitely do another film soon. But this time we have to be very careful. I've worked with other actresses, but Madhuriji is Madhuriji,' said Nath.

The diva seems more than happy keeping busy at home away from her adopted home. 'I'm having a ball. I am so glad people have liked me on 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'. I am enjoying this busy phase before the camera,' said Madhuri who is married to US-based doctor Sriram Nene and has two sons with him. Her children are expected to join her this week for Christmas holidays. 'I can't wait to see them,' said Madhuri happily before rushing for her next shot.

Farah Khan has all the earmarks of being particularly cordial to Salman Khan

Farah Khan has all the earmarks of being particularly cordial to Salman Khan: Choreographer turned head Farah Khan gives off an impression of being quite cordial to Salman Khan, who is incidentally likewise the curve rival of her partner turned adversary Shahrukh Khan. So, does that mean that she is heading off to throw Salman Khan in her upcoming Bollywood step? Reports in the media were swirling with the news that the couple have at present held hands to work in a picture as one unit, but Farah has approached the cutting edge to obstruct all such asserts. In an articulation to the media, Farah declares that she has stewardship over no ideas of throwing Salman in her following picture, at least not at the present moment.

Farah Khan and Salman Khan share a very good rapport and that was evident through their interaction when the director visited the sets of Bigg Boss 4 to promote her upcoming film Tees Maar Khan. And the media was quick to conclude that Farah Khan’s next choice for her next film is Salman. However, the director has made it clear that her next Bollywood project is still in the scripting stage and the actors will be finalized once she has rounded up on the story and the characters. Thus she may or may not choose Salman to play the lead in her next Bollywood film. We may assume that also leaves space for Shahrukh Khan filling the shoes of her next male lead. Till then we can just wait and watch for next year.
