Katrina Kaif injured

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 13.33


Imran's gun injures Katrina's nose while shooting a scene for YRF's next

On Tuesday night, Katrina Kaif suffered an injury on the sets of Yash Raj Film's untitled project with Imran Khan. The film is being shot at Pataudi Palace in Haryana.

The actress was hurt during filming and ended up with a bloody nose, courtesy an error of judgment on her co-star's part. Strangely, she was hurt in the same spot where she'd been previously injured during the shoot of Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani when Ranbir accidentally landed a blow on her face.

A source from the sets reveals what happened. "They were shooting a funny scene in which Imran is holding a gun in his hand and Katrina is by his side. He had to move around and pull Kat toward him with the other hand. But while shooting, he accidentally smashed the barrel of his gun on Katrina's nose. It happened in a split second and her nose started bleeding."

The source adds, "Everyone panicked because there was blood oozing from her nose. The shooting stopped and she was escorted to the vanity van. A doctor was called on the set and she was administered first aid. After a while the bleeding stopped, but she was still in pain."

Kat confirms, "Yes, I got hit in the same place as I did during Ajab. I am pretty bruised but the staff feels it's good luck for the film. But it was a funny scene so I think it was worth it."

Imran Khan wants you... to adopt!

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 13.50


Does a PETA ad urging people to give stray dogs a home, instead of buying pedigree pets

Imran Khan recently shot for an ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) urging people to adopt stray dogs in stead of buying pedigree pets.

The actor, who owns two pooches Kajri and Tony, was approached by PETA to do the ad. He readily agreed and even shot with his adopted dog, Tony.

A source close to Imran reveals how Tony became a part of his family, "During the release of Jaane Tu... Yaa Jaane Na, Imran's dog Kajri had gone for a walk and came back with another dog who followed her home. The Khans soon discovered that it was actually abandoned by the owners. So Imran decided to adopt him."

Friends of the actor add that he actually tries and urges them to adopt a pet rather than buying a pedigree.
Khan misses his pets the most when he's shooting abroad. About doing the ad, Imran says, "It's what I believe and have been actually practising. Tony walked into our home just after the release of Jaane Tu and has been with us since."

Imran Khan loves Ayan Mukherji

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 12.54


There is a newfound bonding happening between Imran Khan and Wake up Sid director Ayan Mukherji. Recently, the IHLS lad was heard telling his friends how much he loved Wake up Sid and how he feels that Ayan is one of the brightest directors in B-Town. The actor has already worked with one Dharma Productions' blue-eyed boy. Is he now wooing the other? No harm we say.

No negatives roles for me says Imran Khan

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 12.58


Imran Khan has said no to Dibakar Banerjee's next because the director offered him a negative role. After the dismal performance of Luck and Kidnap, Imran doesn't want to do any negative roles.

Not at the moment anyway. The success of I Hate Luv Storys has given him the confidence to take on more romantic comedies and loverboy roles. Abhay Deol is now doing the part.

Imran learning the trick of the trade

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 14.16


Imran Khan seems to be learning the tricks of the trade from his mamujaan Aamir Khan slowly but surely.

He has tweeted saying that he is quitting the micro-blogging site as he has had his share of fun and the medium is not right for him.

So will he be back on Twitter Break ke Baad? This also happens to be the name of his next flick with Deepika Padukone. Promotion ke liye kuch bhi karega!

Imran's sign off Twitter

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 08.20


After months of being on Twitter, Imran Khan now feels it isn't a right platform for him.

"I signed up on Twitter because I saw it as a way to interact on a personal level with my audience. I love interacting with fans and I've always looked for ways to do that - whether it's through online chats or live events, but I have started to feel that this is not the best medium for me to do so," said Imran.

The actor was quite regular with his tweets before the release of his film 'I Hate Luv Storys'. But he now wants to move away.

"I don't want to give the impression that I'm upset or angry about anything… far from it. As I said, I have truly enjoyed having the chance to reach out to so many people and I truly appreciate all the love and support I've received. What it boils down to, I think, is that I just don't feel twitter is right for me. Thank you all for the good times. It's been a lot of fun," he concluded.

Imran Khan's Twitter bio says: actor, cracker of jokes no one gets. We get it, Imran. We love the boy's sense of humour.

Imran and Katrina teams up for Yashraj

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 13.41


Imran Khan has finally bagged his first film under the Yash Raj banner and will be seen romancing Katrina Kaif in the yet-to-be-titled film.

The film, a romantic comedy, is written and directed by debutant Ali Abbas Zafar and will be produced by Aditya Chopra. It is scheduled for a 2011 release and will go on the floor mid-September.

This is the first time Imran and Katrina will be acting together. Earlier, they'd been in talks to star in '7 Days in Paris' but that project never worked out.

Here's a who's who list of B-Towners following Hollywood biggies on Twitter. Find out what it says to be in the company they keep

What does it say about you when you decide to follow someone on Twitter? And that too, when the object of your attention is saat samundar paar? We decided to psychoanalyse our B-Town Twitterers based on their shared histories and our Wikipedia research. We bring you the results of our study. Read on...

Follower: Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk)
Following: Shakira (@shakira)
What it says about him: Shah Rukh has no starry airs. He is a star but when he meets other performers, he gets as excited as any other besotted fan. He has even tweeted pictures of Shakira posing with his family in South Africa.

Follower: Lara Dutta (@duttalara)
Following: Hugh Jackman (@realhughjackman)
What it says about him: That she likes her men strong, sexy and romantic. And loyal -- Hugh is one of the few H-Town actors who has been with the same woman for 15 years.

Follower: Bipasha Basu (@bipsluvurself)
Following: Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk)
What it says about her: That she likes guys with a sense of humour and a hot bod. Demi Moore's husband is known for his funny shows and his toned frame.

Follower: Sanjay Dutt (@duttsanjay)
Following: Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe)
What it says about him: That he sees similarities in their lives. They have dealt with their trouble with the law, Gladiator-like. Also, their Beautiful Minds have them performing acts worthy of a Robin Hood.

Follower: Shahid Kapoor (@shahidkapoor)
Following: Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake)
What it says about him: He doesn't shy away from admiring dancing men -- and ones who can successfully hide details of their personal life. Both men shut out the media after their break-ups. Notice the similarities?

Follower: Priyanka Chopra (@priyankachopra)
Following: Eminem (@Eminem), Mariah Carey (@MariahCarey)
What it says about her: Priyanka loves strong people who can think of failures as stepping stones to success. Mariah resurrected her career after a nervous breakdown and Eminem came back after his drug addiction. PC also hears both sides of an argument before judging someone. Why else will she follow both singers who have been at odds since 2003?

Follower: Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor)
Following: Leonardo DiCaprio (@LeoDiCaprio)
What it says about her: Even though she has been offered a Ben Stiller film, she follows Leo, not the funnyman. That could possibly mean only one thing: she wants to be on DiCaprio's radar and is holding out till she's offered Inception 2. Mr Nolan, are you listening?

Follower: Karan Johar (@kjohar25)
Following: Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton)
What it says about him: That KJo is an ardent admirer of the heiress-turned-model-turned actress. It's no secret he only wants to be surrounded by good-looking and rich folks, and he's even ready to follow them, if need be. Or maybe he wants to do a show inspired by her (not-so) Simple Life.

Follower: Imran Khan (@1mrankhan)
Following: Bob Saget (@bobsaget)
What it says about him: That Imran is a fan of the sweet family show that ran on for years. Maybe he sees the similarities between his close-knit family and that on the show. However, there is that little detail of Bob playing a single dad Danny Tanner in the hugely popular family show, while our boy is ready to get hitched. See, we told you he is a family guy.

Follower: Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin)
Following: Woody Allen (@WoodyAllen)
What it says about him: That even though he makes scary films, he loves a man with a sense of humour. Also let's not forget how much both men love nubile young beauties. Professionally, maybe after paying tribute to intense, brooding filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, RGV now wants to follow Woody.

Imran’s got Kat and Priyanka panting

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 13.28


In the flaky world of films everyone is as good as his last Friday. And the light-eyed Imran Khan, who had a hit in I Hate Luv Storys, is suddenly the object of Bollywood’s desire.

Super-hotties Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra, who were chasing Ranbir Kapoor fast and furiously, completely over-looked Imran who was standing in the bylanes post those disasters Kidnap and Luck. In fact, when Sanjay Gadhvi’s 7 Days in Paris with Imran and Kat fell by the wayside after these two actors reportedly had “issues”, Kat didn’t even blink her mascaraed lashes. And PC, too, seemed in no hurry to come to the rescue of the pariah called Imran.

But all that stands changed post IHLS. And, why aren’t we surprised that the hoity-toity actresses now have a different stance on Aamir Khan’s light-eyed nephew. Reliable sources say that after Karan Johar announced his Short Term Shaadi (working title) with Kareena Kapoor and Imran, he reportedly got a message from Kat asking him why she was not selected for the Imran film. It is said that Karan assured her that his banner would be making many more films with Imran and, of course, Kat would be definitely considered for a role with the boy.

Sources close to Priyanka say that she has to choose between two films currently. One is said to be with Imran and the second could be Kunal Kohli’s film with Saif Ali Khan. PC is now in a dilemma on which of the two she should green-light. Her feelings for Imran are ditto that of Kat’s. Post IHLS the boy has the halo.

So, the clever PC is expected to do a photo-session with Imran to check out how good they look together. It clearly means that without saying anything, PC is making her preference evident. Or she may say yes to the Saif film, as well as the Imran one. Till yesterday, Kareena was envious of the fact that Kat and PC had a Ranbir in their kitty. Today the shoe is on the other foot. Both these girls want what Bebo has. Honestly, in this dog-eat-dog industry, the bone of contention is constantly changing. Now Imran has them all panting!

Imran Khan spent time with the Wavin' Flag singer K'Naan

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 13.17


Imran Khan, who flew to South Africa for the FIFA World Cup finals, had an encounter with K'Naan, the name behind the 2010 anthem, Wavin' Flag.

The Somalian-Canadian singer was staying in the same hotel as the actor. On Saturday evening, just before the Germany-Uruguay match, K'Naan performed several of his tracks including Wavin' Flag for a select audience.
Says Imran, "I did not know who he was. I had only heard that Wavin' Flag was his track. I was mesmerised. He is a super singer. As he is a Somalian, his music has that African beat to it."

Imran endorses the cola which has used Wavin' Flag in its commercials for the football tournament. The cola brand organised the private performance. "As there were only a few people present, I could see him perform from close quarters."

Imran was accompanied by a few friends for the trip. He had very little time to do any sightseeing. "I have to return to Mumbai for some post release events of I Hate Luv Storys. I also have to resume shooting for Break Ke Baad," reveals the actor

Buzz is that K'Naan is familiar with Bollywood music and has expressed a desire to score for Indian films. Composer duo Vishal-Shekhar are also slated to colloborate with the musician. "That would be great because the singer is a joy to listen to," adds Imran.

About K'Naan
Poet, rapper, singer and songwriter K'Naan was born Keinan Abdi Warsame in Somalia and spent his childhood in Mogadishu. He moved to New York for a while before finally setting up base in Canada. He performed a spoken word piece criticising the UN for its failed aid missions to Somalia. One of the audience members, Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour was impressed and invited him to contribute to his 2001 album Building Bridges.

This project led him to his debut album The Dusty Foot Philosopher in 2005. He has collaborated with artists like Nelly Furtado, Mos Def, Will-i-Am, The Roots and Dead Prez. K'naan rose to mainstream popularity by participating in the 2008 BET Awards Cypher -- his first appearance on American television.
