Will talk on international terrorism on October 31 when George W Bush comes to Delhi

At a conference in Delhi on October 31, Kareena Kapoor and beau Saif Ali Khan will share the platform with former US president George W Bush. The couple intends to broach the subject of international terrorism, which is also the theme of their ready-to-release film Kurbaan.

While Saif is preparing his points for the big day, Kareena will go with the flow at her meeting with Bush. "I'm a very spontaneous person. It's like that with my acting. It would be like that when I meet Mr Bush. Jo dil mein hai woh bolungi."

This is the first time that Kareena will be addressing an international summit. But she isn't the least bit nervous.

"By now I've gained enough confidence to be able to speak at such summits with some amount of confidence.



Nowadays, you can't afford to have your head buried in the sand. You have to know what's happening in the world around you." Kareena admits Saif is a better talker. "In fact, I've learnt a lot of new words from him. But even otherwise I think I speak quite well."

Mallika oomphs it up... again!

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 12.56


She’s known for opting to be away from the limelight but this time, we found out where Mallika Sherawat has been hiding!

The actress was invited as a special guest to a UNICEF charity event that took place in Los Angeles last week. And boy, was she in good company! Dressed in a bright yellow Max Azria gown, Mallika mingled with English actor Michael York, Billy Zane (of Titanic fame) and his date, Princess of Congo, and other dignitaries including Lord and Lady Hayes.

And in her trademark style, Mallika said it as it is, with one of her unforgettable quotes — when a photographer at the event told her ‘Everyone is talking about you’, she replied: “Anything to bring attention to a good cause.” That’s Miss Sherawat for you!

Mallika's girlie time with Shirley

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 12.03


Sherawat and MacLaine gab and grab some grub in LA; they discussed reincarnation too!

Mallika Sherawat is on a Hollywood-meets-Bollywood spree in Los Angeles to promote and create awareness for her next release Hisss directed by Jennifer Lynch.

It is learnt that she recently spent some time with legendary American movie star, Shirley MacLaine. They were spotted leaving the Chanel store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.



They were followed by paparazzi andducked in to a cafe for a late lunch. The meeting between the Oscar-winning actress and Mallika lasted over two hours." A few weeks ago Mallika met Shirley's brother, Warren Beatty, at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge. It is unclear whether Warren arranged the introduction between the actresses.

A source close to Mallika says, "They discussed films, and gosipped. Shirley told her stories about Billy Wilder and the time when she 'kicked Jack Nicholson in the groin.' Ms MacLaine also enquired of her film Hisss, as she has long been fascinated by reincarnation and has written nine books on it." Since Hisss deals with reincarnation, the senior actress was quite interested in the film, and asked to see the teaser promo of the film.

Shirley is known to be one of the quirkiest Hollywood actresses, just like Mallika who loves drama. Naturally the two bonded like soul sisters, albeit from different generations. MacLaine gave the desi actress tips on how to make it in Hollywood.

The H-Town actresse's best films include Irma la Douce, Steel Magnolias, Terms Of Endearment, The Turning Point, The Apartment, Madame Sousatzka, Closing The Ring, Rumor Has It and Used People among others.

Mallika is maximising benefits of her US stay

She’s set to be ‘Indian face’ of a leading fashion house

Mallika Sherawat seems to be making a name for herself while she’s parked in the US for the post production work on her film “Hisss”.

We have seen her hanging out with an assortment of Hollywood celebrities, and now she is all set to become the Indian face of a leading international fashion house.

At the New York Fashion Week, she was seen coming out of a show hand in hand with designer Max Azria.

Max’s fashion house is considered to be one of the most sought after in the world.

After coming out, Mallika made an announcement that the famed designer will be designing her outfits. She also said that apart from designing for her, Max was also keen on making her the Indian face of his fashion house. He has also requested her to walk the ramp for him at the upcoming show in Paris.

However, Mallika added, while Max will be designing outfits for her and she will also be the Indian face of his label, as far as walking the ramp is concerned, the deal is still work in progress and has yet not been sealed.

America doesn’t know Ash and Abhi

Diposting oleh alexandria joseph | 12.25


Stars are worshipped like demi-gods in India and people would do anything to get only a glimpse of their favourite stars. Thus stars cannot live normal lives in India but that is not the case when they go to foreign shores where few people know them.

Earlier this week, Ash and Abhi were spotted grocery shopping by a source in Chicago, USA. She told us, “Abhishek and Aishwarya were in the sweets lane at the Walgreens store located near Water Towers in Chicago. Walgreens is a supermarket chain like Walmart. In India, its equivalent would be Food Bazaar, Big Bazaar and Le Marche. They were there buying cookies and cereals. It was raining and Ash was wearing jeans and a black hoodie while Abhishek was wearing a dark jacket with jeans.”

She adds, “Abhishek looked pretty ordinary and pretty Ash, with her fair skin and blue eyes, blended in with the locals. No one made a fuss over them. There were no starry airs. They were shopping like any other couple. There was only one Indian in the store. Abhishek was checking from the side of his eye if that person recognized him and would approach them for autographs but nothing like that happened. After buying what they wanted, they walked out into the street hand-in-hand without any security. There was no car waiting for them.”

Though Aishwarya is an internationally known face and the Bachchan parivaar was photographed at the US premiere of Pink Panther 2, the couple wasn’t hounded by the paparazzi. The only Indian celebrities that get paparazzi attention in the States are Frieda Pinto and Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire fame.

So the formula to live a normal life where strangers and fans don’t go ga-ga over you is crazy. Don’t wear make-up, maintain a low profile and do your grocery shopping in a foreign country. Tch, tch.
