Kareena Kapoor vs Priyanka Chopra

Kareena Kapoor vs Priyanka Chopra: They might be constantly contending each other in the Bollywood rat race to seek the number one position but this time Kareena Kapoor has overtaken Priyanka Chopra in bagging an international endorsement.
Seems like the foreign brand was initially keen on getting Priyanka Chopra on board as the brand ambassador but their company survey showed that Kareena is a more popular name and brand globally which people could easily identify with. So the endorsement landed in Kareena's kitty. Presently Kareena Kapoor has the maximum number of endorsements with as many as 14 brands.
Interestingly Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra who are arch rivals came together for a stage performance in a recent event. Hope this endorsement race doesn't spark off another animosity between the two.

Kareena-Saif stay together in 300 year old Swiss chalet

Kareena Kapoor loves being eco-friendly. She left last night for Switzerland on a 10-day trip with beau Saif Ali Khan.

The couple will be staying at a chalet-hut owned by the Gstaad Palace which runs on solar energy.

Says a source, "Bebo and Saif believe in preserving the eco-system in their own way. Last year, she had promoted eco-friendly handbags. Every year, they re-cycle their fir trees during Christmas.

This year, Kareena and Saif will be staying for a few days at the Gstaad Palace in Switzerland and then shift to a wooden hut (the Walig Hut) built like a small 18th century chalet at 5000 feet above sea level.

The 300-year old hut has been carefully restored with basic plumbing and solar-powered electric lighting. Saif loves skiing, so every year the couple have been spending their New Year's on the Swiss Alps."

The chalet-hut is very expensive costing over £1, 000 per night for two adults. This includes a sumptuous three-course meal with wine and champagne.

Sonakshi Sinha & Salman Khan act together in 'jinx'

Sonakshi Sinha & Salman Khan act together in 'jinx': Svelte Sonakshi Sinha looks to have finally broken Bollywood's ' Salman Khan jinx'. While no other actress who debuted opposite Salman Khan had managed to make it big in Hindi films, Shotgun's pretty daughter has not only been flooded with offers since Dabangg became a blockbuster, but she is also rumoured to be charging more than ` 1 crore per film.
To begin with, Sonakshi starts shooting for Shirish Kunder's 3D extravaganza Joker with Akshay Kumar in January. This will be followed by the multi- starrer Race 2 , for which directors Abbas- Mustan have preferred her to Kareena Kapoor, despite the film's hero Saif Ali Khan reportedly insisting that his girlfriend be cast in the film. Up next will be Kick, an action- comedy costarring Salman, and Prabhu Deva's upcoming Akshay Kumar- starrer.

Rumours are also doing the rounds that Sonakshi could be one of the heroines in Sajid Khan's Housefull 2. Kunal Kohli wants to cast her in his next film starring Shahid Kapoor. Anurag Basu is also considering Sonakshi for his upcoming film, Barfee , starring Ranbir Kapoor.

It's not every day in Bollywood that an actress who is just one- film- old is flooded with so many offers from top banners. " Her confidence sets her apart. Everyone has noted the fact that although Dabangg was her first film and she was paired with a superstar of Salman Khan's stature, she showed no signs of nervousness. She has no camera fright," said Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap.

" Being a star's daughter definitely gave her a headstart compared to other newcomers. It means she was considered for high- profile projects and got more leeway. It remains to be seen how she cashes in on the advantage. However, if producers are willing to shell out over a crore for the onefilm- old Sonakshi, that says a lot," an industry insider said. Salman is known to promote new talent. However, every newcomer who has made her debut opposite the superstar has somehow never managed to survive in Bollywood.

Turn back the clock, and you realise that Bhagyashree, despite her blockbuster debut in Maine Pyar Kiya , never quite succeeded in chalking out a career in Bollywood. After the Sooraj Barjatya superhit and her now- defunct marriage to flop actor Himalaya, Bhagyashree tried several comebacks in films as well as on TV but none have had any impact.

Similarly, Naghma, Salman's debutant co- star in Baaghi failed to make an impact in Bollywood. Subsequently, she did small roles in films such as Yalgaar and King Uncle before becoming a superstar in Tamil cinema.

Industry experts feel the pattern is a result of the fact that Salman's films hardly ever leave any scope for his actresses, especially newcomers. That's likely what happened to Chandni as well. In 1991, Salman starred opposite debutant Chandni in Sanam Bewafa . The Saawan Kumar- directed film, despite being a superhit, didn't help Chandni's career and she slipped into oblivion.

" In his ( Salman's) films, girls mostly don't get strong roles. They only have to dance and look pretty," said filmmaker Jag Mundhra. Sonakshi seems to have broken the jinx that the likes of Bhagyashree, Naghma and Chandni couldn't.

Kareena Kapoor is wanted in Hollywood

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor, who is shooting in LA right now, is being flooded with offers from Hollywood. Now, now darlings, don’t be mean, it could be true. If Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawat can get offers, why not Kareena? Anyways, the sensible Kareena is not biting the bait as she likes to be the queen of Bollywood.

Smart girl, we say, I mean look what happened to Ash, none of her international flicks worked at the box office.But obviously that has not stopped some big name agents and companies that represent A-list Hollywood celebrities from wanting to sign her. What key names you ask. No idea dearies, nobody is telling me.But of course Kareena couldn’t be bothered with all the attention as she believes she gets enough of it back home.

So the temperamental actress is busy evading these agents and disappearing on shopping trips with friends as soon as she hears ‘pack up’ on the sets rather than being hounded by Hollywood agents. This girl sure has her concerns right.

Priyanka Chopra & Kareena Kapoor talk together

Priyanka Chopra & Kareena Kapoor talk together: A French manicured birdie who was present backstage at Umang 2010 -- the annual Police Mela -- called to say that Priyanka Chopra may be telling the world that she and Kareena Kapoor have buried the hatchet. But it's far from true.
The birdie was flapping her wings backstage when she saw PC go up to Bebo and say'Let's forget what has happened and begin anew'. And Bebo just gave her the famous Poo (Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum) 'Whatever!' look and continued with what she was doing. Doesn't look like the Kapoor girl is in the mood to forget.

All is not well between Priyanka and Bebo

Katrina Kaif rules Bollywood as monarch bumblebee

Katrina Kaif rules Bollywood as monarch bumblebee: A listers like Aishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu came up short to lure crowds this year, while woman luck's favourite Katrina Kaif and item youngster Malaika Arora Khan plus some newcomers maintained to keep the ticker ticking for Bollywood brave women.

Katrina Kaif: Ramp to rampage - this model-turned-actress has taken Bollywood by storm. Continuing her habit of turning a movie into a hit, the gorgeous face with a stiff upper lip that has now gone desi rocked the box office with her chaste Hindi volleys in Prakash Jha's political thriller Raajneeti. And if that wasn't it, she stood out to wipe out mankind with her pelvic thrusts in the item number Sheila ki jawani from her latest outing Tees Maar Khan. Katrina is leaving no stone unturned to enchant the public with her best.

Malaika Arora Khan: She has the look, the moves and knows how to groove. If Bollywood is synonymous with 'jhatkas' and 'matkas', it doesn't get bigger than this as Malaika left audiences gawking with her hump...her hump, her hump in the item number Munni badnaam hui from Dabangg. Have feet, will dance but won't act. And did one notice, this one's got a surname too to hang on to - Khan.

Vidya Balan: If the leading ladies in B-Town hit the gym with a vengeance to shed the extra kilos, Vidya hogged until she turned herself into a deglam, voluptuous and conniving woman for Ishqiya. Mouthing expletives soaked in chemical derivatives, this Parineeta girl turned femme fatale and left men scratching their brains.

Kajol: There is nothing that she can't do. Daughter, actress, wife, mother - Kajol's dormant comings and goings on the big screen took a surprise turn when the dusky beauty returned with three outings this year, My Name is Khan, We Are Family and Toonpur Ka Superhero. No matter the box office fate, she is one performer the audience would give anything to watch. However, leaving them wanting for more, the mother of two is now headed for a three-year sabbatical.

Konkona Sen Sharma: She already has to her credit powerful movies, the scripts of which some actresses wouldn't even dare read. And Konkona, as she is fondly called, surprised the masses with her metro wifey avatar in the comedy Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? before enacting a lawyer in Right Yaaa Wrong and a sexually aggressive woman in Mirch. Talk about her acting prowess, if one had a parameter to judge, this one deserves nothing but a 10 on 10.

Neetu Singh: As calm as a river and still sporting the fresh glow of the morning sunshine, yesteryear heroine Neetu Singh made a full-fledged comeback in Do Dooni Char 27 years after bidding adieu to celluloid. Bringing a smile on one's face with her acting nuances and immaculate chemistry with actor hubby Rishi Kapoor, she just proved she still has it in her to win people's hearts.

Kangana Ranaut: Perhaps the most unfortunate of talents this year, she was almost jostling for space in multi-starrers like Kites, Knock Out and No Problem but believe you or not, this golden gem did make her presence felt with her glitter in Milan Luthria's retro underworld saga Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Shalini Vatsa: Ever thought Dhaniya from Peepli Live would have an M. Phil degree? No one did, but this full time theatre actress left audiences applauding at her rants in the satire with her splendid portrayal of a rustic, illiterate, short-tempered mother of three with zeal.

Malaika Shenoy: Model, actress and voice-over artiste, this Mumbai-based girl got her due with Peepli Live. Her experience as a TV presenter in reality came handy to bring out the poise, panache and perfection of a star reporter in the black comedy which she edgily used to cast a dig at one real female scribe. Thanks to her involvement in the vibrant English theatre movement in Mumbai, her performance simply couldn't go unnoticed.

Sonakshi Sinha: What would you do if your debut project was with none other than Salman The Khan? Hit the metal and cut down flab! Perhaps the perfect example of fat to fab, Shatru Shotgun's daughter made a Dabangg debut in the year's highest grosser. Getting into the star mode day by day, this one's sure a dark horse.

Anushka Sharma: Petite, pretty and now pricey. This 22-year-old couldn't have asked for more. In two outings with the Yash Raj banner in the year - Badmaash Company and Band Baaja Baaraat - she managed to persuade audiences of her potential with her Delhi 'kudi' role in the latter.

Aishwarya paid a big cost to expose all in her biography

Aishwarya Rai has been booked or so it seems as the sassy actress has been offered a whopping amount to reveal all about her life in her autobiography. Contacted by a top international publishing house, the gorgeous beauty was handed out a blank cheque by the publishing house asking her to quote her price for the project. However, even though Ash in not sure about the project she hasn`t rejected the offer yet.

Confirming the reports a source told a daily, “Ash remains a worldwide icon who has managed to be at the leading of the game for years despite constant good work from younger actors like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Though the industry feels that Kareena is the numero uno celebrity in B-town, in terms of worldwide presence Ash wins over them all. Publishers want to explore the possibility of an autobiography of her journey from modeling to movies and her connections to wedding.

They feel here is a fantastic real-life story to be told.”“Ash is uncertain whether it is the right time to write a book. She respects her privacy and this is the major roadblock in closing the offer,” adds the source. What’s more is that Aishwarya too verified that she got the offer but rejected to give a definite comment by saying, “There is a right time for everything to happen”.

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.

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.

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.
