Deepika Padukone wants media to leave sister alone

 Deepika is a big star in Bollywood, with understandable media frenzy around her. But Deepika Padukone wants the press to leave her younger sister Anisha, a talented golfer, alone.

“Anisha is doing very well (in golf). She is very young and wants to concentrate on her game,” says Deepika, adding that a few days ago, Anisha was teeing off at a golf course in Noida. Ask Deepika if Anisha likes the media attention, and she smiles and says, “Not really, and I hope media leaves her alone. If people go for interviews or interactions with her, she gets very frazzled and sometimes complains to me, didi (sister), I can’t concentrate on my game.’”

According to Deepika, Anisha is a very quiet and reserved person. “I think that’s why golf suits her because you need a lot of inner silence to concentrate on that game. And that’s why she is so media shy. She will learn things on her own, but for the time being, she should concentrate on her game,” she says.

Bigg Boss 5: Day 89

Day 89: As the day begins, the track ‘Loose control’ gives a hint to each contestant of living their best in this last week of the show. As the day begins, starts Sidharth’s and Amar’s picking on Sky. The two again fool Sky by a fake secret task. As the scene shifts, we see Mahek bitching about Amar to Sidharth and called him spineless while reiterating the fact that he is just too desperate to win the show. In the afternoon, Amar is seen bitching to Sky about Sidharth. The two talk about how Sidharth is way too aggressive and childish in his behavior. The two get talking about how much he has lied on the show. Amar tells Sky that he regrets backing Sidharth. Looking at the two men talking, Sidharth tells Juhi and Mahek that the ‘Jai and Veeru’ bonding is back in action. Once Amar comes back into the room, Sidharth asks Amar if he has gone and spoken any of their discussions to Sky. Amar immediately retaliates listening to this and says he was not sitting with Sky to talk about others. Mahek tells him that he has played double-faced earlier and hence this doubt now. The trio ends up having an argument over the same. During the day, Mahek gets to watch the video of her talking about her niece to Juhi. Mahek breaks down after watching the video and immediately the entire house is with her to console her. As the day progresses, Sunny tells Juhi that Sidharth has not completed his part of house cleaning which stops her from finishing her work. Juhi takes this up with Sidharth and soon the entire house is seen rolling into it. Mahek and Juhi have an argument and Sky has an argument with Sidharth over the issue. Soon Mahek takes Sidharth to the pink room and calms him down, but when Sidharth comes out, he sees Sunny and Sky doing his part of the house cleaning. This irritates him all the more but he makes sure that since he hasn’t done his work, he compensates by cooking dinner. In the evening, Sidharth is seen going up to Juhi and patching up with her. The two hug and apologize to each other and forget all their differences. After the patch up, Juhi is seen discussing it with Amar over dishwashing saying she does not understand Sidharth. Amar said it was all nothing but an emotional ride for Sidharth in which he came up to Juhi and patched up with her. As the day ends, Sky and gang are seen sitting in the garden area and discussing about the evening drama. Juhi tells Sky that she is happy being with him as he is such a clean-hearted man. The two also discuss about how Sidharth is good only from a distance. Juhi tells Sky that incase anything pops up in the future with Sidharth, she will just put Sky on the front to sort it out with him.

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy take to the celebrity packed Aspen slopes

It may not be very rock and roll but Muse singer Matt Bellamy looked right at home this festive season on the celebrity packed slopes in Aspen.

It was a family holiday for the 33-year-old rocker who hit the slopes with fiancee Kate Hudson and her son Ryder.

Kate, 33, looked chic and festive in her all in red ski suit while singer Matt looked equally ready for the ski season in a his black outfit.

The Bride Wars actress even helped seven-year-old son Ryder onto a ski lift as the youngster got ready to hit the slopes.

The couple aren't alone in the Colorado resort as Kate's mother Goldie Hawn was also spotted with fellow A-lister Melanie Griffith strolling around town. 

Melanie was seen today laughing on Buttermilk mountain as her husband Antonio Banderas took to the slopes to show off his ski skill set.

And model Heidi Klum and singer Seal showed off their love for each other yesterday by cuddling up close on the slopes in Aspen.

The loved-up couple lounged in the snow as they cheered on their children who showed off their ski skills on Buttermilk Mountain.

And Jack Nicholson was also spotted in Aspen with his daughter Lorraine.

The Hilton sisters, Paris and Nicky, are also in the town, delighting shoppers in their colorful outfits.

I charge what I deserve: Bipasha Basu

 

 

Asking for a crore for an item song or not performing for New Year, Bipasha Basu does some straight talking as she looks back on 2011

Bipasha Basu is not looking back with regret or nostalgia. She's looking forward to 2012, what with her birthday (on January 7) and her latest film, and of course, December 31, when she's going to have that "one day when I can let my hair down."

So, no New Year's Eve performance like previous years? "No," says Bips, "Also, no regrets this year. But then, I don't like to look back. But what I remember is that this year has gone by very fast, I have travelled a lot, I have made too many friends, it's getting difficult to spend time with them all. I had a lot of fun this year. I have laughed a lot... Yes, 2011 has been amazing for me." She's also ended a longstanding relationship... Slightly curt, she says, "The relationship was gone way back before that - it's been more than a year now. There's no point in discussing it. Right now, it's just hard work for me." 

Aishwarya Rai and Selena Gomez Among 'Best Dressed Celebs of 2011'

 

 

 Aishwarya Rai and Selena Gomez were recently named to one website's "Best Dressed Celebrities of 2011" list. Who else joined them on the list of best dressed female celebs this past year?

While Aishwarya Rai has been talk of the town, celebrity sites aren't overlooking the Bollywood babe's style. Style Bistro added her to their list of female celebs who wore it well in 2011. For Aishwarya, it was her off-white one-shouldered Elie Saab Spring gown that she wore beautifully on the red carpet at 2011 Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony. Aishwarya Rai will very likely continue to be a style icon and among the most beautiful women in the world heading into 2012. Now she has the ultimate fashion accessory, with her baby "Beti B," which she will probably show off to the world at some point.

As for Selena Gomez, she certainly has style as well. She was put on the list for her fashionable look in a Gorgio Armani gown at the 2011 American Music Awards (AMAs). Gomez may be dating Justin Bieber, but she has emerged as a true style icon and celebrity in her own right this past year. She may not always have Justin, but she can certainly have her style for a long time!

Others making the list include Carrie Underwood, Rachel McAdams, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Salma Hayek, and Penelope Cruz. Each of these ladies looked elegant and beautiful at various red carpet events throughout 2011. It's hard to choose which was the best dressed of them all, or who will emerge out of these women in 2012 in terms of fashion. Will the list stay the same or will some new female faces and fashions join their ranks?

 

 

Deepika Padukone’s ex boyfriends catch up... with each other

 

  Recently, at a film award function Sidhartha Mallya was seen bonding with Dippy's ex Ranbir. And now, cricketer Yuvraj Singh and the actress' first love Nihar Pandya were seen having a ball at the christmas party at Yuvraj's Bandra residence on Sunday night.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror, "Yuvraj loves to party. So on Sunday night he threw a christmas bash on the terrace of his Bandra home. While a lot of tinsel townies were present at the party, including Ranvijay Singh, Prashant Chaddha, Sophie Chowdhury, Neha Dhupia and Arpita Khan, Nihar Pandya was definitely one of the most surprising entries."

"Deepika moved on to date Yuvraj Singh after she broke up with Nihar. So his presence did manage to raise a few eyebrows," added the source.

According to another source from the party, Nihar and Yuvraj have become friends only recently. In fact, none of them talk about Deepika. "Nihar is busy with his debut film based on his love story with Deepika. Prashant Chaddha, who launched Deepika in a music album will be directing the venture," added the source.

Nicole Scherzinger still in love with Lewis Hamilton

 

 

The sultry beauty said that although the two were no longer together, she still loved the Formula 1 racing driver. She recently admitted to a foreign newspaper, "I still love him. It's all very recent and it's hard for me to talk about it. 

But we are good friends. We're great friends. Next year I'll work on me. It's a new chapter," Scherzinger said while also rubbishing reports that she has been getting close to rapper Tinie Tempah ever since she and Hamilton parted ways. "It's the most ridiculous thing that people are saying something went on. I'm not that kind of girl," she added.

I like bad boys: Priyanka Chopra

SRK is always on-the-go, how do you manage to keep up?
We traveled so much for the film because we want people to know about it; it's definitely better than the first Don. Yes, SRK has high-energy, but I have amazing energy too.

We believe you like bad boys...
This quote of mine is going to go down in history. Yes, I like bad boys, and I like to take them home to my mom. She also likes bad boys... Ha, ha, ha... 

How's the music coming along?
It's been a fabulous experience. I lived, breathed and ate music in USA. I'm trying something so new and I hope it's something that makes our country proud.

Your song lyrics have apparently said a lot about your life...
Ha, ha... Not a lot, but I certainly took a second look at the lyrics and thought that it was much more than I'd usually say about myself. At the end of the day, the songs are supposed to by my expressions...

Priyanka ko pataana kitna mushkil hai?
Priyanka ko pataana bhi namumkin hai! I'm turned off by romantic gestures and flowers and chocolates. I have very high standards.
  

So what are these high standards that the guys need to achieve?
I don't like guys who are conventional. I'm an achiever; he has to be an achiever. I admire drive, I admire ambition. I like a guy who keeps my on my toes.

But are you a romantic at heart?
Tremendously. I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that. I cry during romantic scenes, books... the works.
 

Bigg Boss 5: 601-pound Japanese Sumo to enter house

 

 

If Bigg Boss 5′s multiple entries have surprised you time and again, this time round you’re sure to be flabbergasted beyond words. Proving to the audiences that Bigg Boss 5 can never get predictable, the show will witness the grand entry of 601-pound Japanese Sumo Wrestling Champion Yamamotoyama aka Yama in the final week of the show. Given his weight and clocking in at a height of 6’4″, Yama is not only the largest Sumo wrestler ever, but he is actually the largest Japanese human ever as well.

After having been cooped up inside the house for weeks, the contestants will definitely breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing a new face. However, this relief will be shortlived, especially when they realize that the newest entrant has one major drawback – he doesn’t speak or understand English! The multiple-title winning sumo wrestler will spend a few days in the house and bring some much-needed comic relief to the currently temperamental housemates. To accommodate the needs of Yama during his stay in the Bigg Boss house, special arrangements have been made inside the house for him.

The dining area will be converted into a bedroom-cum-eating area for the sumo wrestler to give him the enough space for carrying out his day-to-day activities. Being of Japanese origin, Yama is used to eating while being seated on the floor, but it will be interesting to note if the housemates will be able to accompany him while he eats his fill. Also, because the sumo wrestler faces a language barrier, he will be given special placards with pictoral representations that will help him to communicate his needs to the housemates. And finally, to ensure that Yama remains entertained, special activities have been planned during his stay in the house that will help audiences to get some special insights into the life of a professional Japanese sumo wrestler.

In April 2011 he was told to retire by the Japan Sumo Association after he and several other wrestlers were found to be involved in match-fixing.
