The long fairy tales of the two IPL queens battling it out on the playing field and on television came to a sudden turning point this week when Shilpa Shetty extended an olive branch to her supposed rival in the IPL Preity Zinta.

Shilpa and Raj Kundra are hosting a grand party to celebrate their entry into the IPL March 10 at the Grand Hyatt. And Preity is invited. Shilpa said: “I really want these unsavory rumors about our rivalry to end. On an impulse I sent an SMS to Preity inviting her for the party that Raj and I are hosting.”

Shilpa was pleasantly surprised when Preity replied back. “She said she’d love to come. But can’t because she’d be out of town. I think that just about takes care of that. I’m sure we’ll have other occasions to interact. For now it’s enough that she accepted my invitation.” Source

Bollywood’s most wanted bombshell diva Bipasha Basu has always shied away from speaking her mind. Bips looks back at her career in the movies so far and talks about breaking the rules and emerging successful.

Q: You recently turned 30 and you have been fairly frank about it. Do you feel wiser?

Bipasha Basu: I see no change. I think too much discussion has gone into it. It is just a number. Yes, with each passing year you do get wiser and it has been happening to me too. I started off at the age of 17 so since then I have become wiser for sure. But not because of the 30th figure. Full News

After watching ‘Welcome’, Aamir Khan had said he would love to do a complete comedy film in future. Now it seems like the actor has come out with the right concept to do the comical act.

According to a buzz, Aamir was approached by film maker Neeraj Vohra with an interesting concept which impressed the perfectionist so much that he immediately gave the green signal. Looks like Aamir will produce the venture too.

Well we are all aware that the star only decides to produce a project if he is supremely confident about the idea.

So folks get set to see that same Aamir who captured the attention of the movie buffs by his great comic timings portrayed in movies such as ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’, ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ and ‘Rangeela’ once again. Source

Actress Genelia D Souza has been a fan of actor John Abraham for a while now. And it is almost like a dream come true for her when she found herself sharing screen space with him in her next film, Hook Ya Crook.

This is a crush which probably dates back to Genelia’s college days when John attended the college fete. The actress, who shot into prominence after the success of Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, is also working with actors like Fardeen Khan and Harman Baweja in films like It’s My Life and Life Partner. The actress is currently being offered a lot of roles which have her cast in girl next door mould.

But she has no problems with that right now. She is open to challenges and even open to doing an all out commercial film or even action movies. Despite not having become an overnight sensation like her co star Imran Khan, Genelia, like her name, is quite genial, and has no qualms about that. Right now, she is quite happy finding her feet in Bollywood once again. Source

The legendary Amitabh Bachchan is sporting a “phenomenal” new look in his upcoming home production “Paa”, the make-up for which takes four hours, the actor wrote in his blog.

“My rituals today were guided by the extensive hours at the studio, a major portion of which were in front of the make up mirror, getting the face plastered with silicon,” the actor said in a recent post on his blog.

“It took 4 hours for it all to come on and another hour to take it off. But may I say the results were simply phenomenal,” the 66-year-old actor wrote.

The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Hurman Baweja in key roles. The film is being directed by R Balki of “Cheeni Kum” fame. The production of the film went on floors on March 2.

“The team of make up artists flown in from Los Angeles and carrying huge and important credentials were exemplary in their job. Professional to the core and committed to the last brush of paint on the face,” Bachchan wrote. Source

Bollywood hot spicy actress Amrita Arora and Shakeel Lakak got married at Olive restaurant in Mumbai.

Amrita looked just fabulous dressed up in a high neck body fitting gown embroidered with rice pearls and diamonds.

Apart from the entire Khan family comprising of Salim Khan, Salman, Arbaz, Sohail and Alivra, Amrita’s best friend Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan were also present. Source

Soha Ali Khan was in a joyful mood as she talked about her forthcoming comedy Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge.

Q. It’s your first tryst with comedy. Do you have a funny bone in real life?

A: Oh I am good at comedy. All my friends think I have a great sense of humour. And even when I am interacting with someone the first thing I look for is humour. Now I don’t want to speak for myself because if go about calling myself funny, people will think it’s all blah!

Q. You have been missing at the awards.

A: Actually these days I am shooting for Tum Mile (with Emraan Hashmi) at Bhandup. We have got a set there recreating the 26/7 floods. So every evening after shooting in three feet of water I am really not presentable enough to make red carpet appearances.

Q. So is Soha next on the ’serial kisser’s’ list?

A: I am really excited about this one. You know I am all for Bollywod romance and this is my first ever love story. I think we make an interesting pair. As far as the kissing goes, believe me this time it’s bit of a role reversal. Throughout the film I am trying to get Emraan to kiss me. I want him to but he is the one ignoring me. Source

Sushmita Sen is not at all happy these days because of her new movie ‘Karma aur Holi’ in which Sushmita is playing the lead along with Randeep Hooda. The issue is that Sushmita is not happy with a kissing scene with her one time boyfriend Randeep and is cribbing that the producers are using this footage to gain in more publicity.

Sushmita said, “My problem is that the makers of Karma aur Holi are promoting the film by sending out sleazy stories. This is not done. This is not the way to promote a film. These obnoxious strategies of promoting a film are simply unethical”.

We tried getting in touch with Sushmita but she remained unavailable for any comments. We did get in touch with Randeep Hooda who had once got the opportunity to date the beauty queen.

He stormed in saying, “I think one should just do their job. Everyone was doing their job. There are a lot of actors involved, a lot of technicians, production people, directors, producers involved in the film. By just going to the press and lashing out statements is a very unethical thing on Sushmita’s part”.

When asked about the fuss she is making to remove the much-hyped kissing scene between her and Randeep, he said, “I don’t know anything about it so I think it is logical for me not to even comment on it”. Source
