Bollywood’s Sonam Kapoor may be a fashionista and rarely goes wrong, but this time when she wore an off-shoulder Rachel Pally Grecian dress recently, it seemed a bit more than her young shoulders could handle.

How Vidya Balan’s bikini photo was morphed

A picture of Vidya Balan from a photoshoot for lensman Dabboo Ratnani (left above) was used to morph into a bikini pic of the actress.
The prankster who morphed the image first tilted Vidya’s original photo anti-clockwise (as done above) and then, with the use of simple photoshop tools, copied her face from the original photo and pasted it onto another photo of a bikini model. He/she carefully added the hair extensions in the bikini pic, again through copy-paste tool.
So if you look carefully at the two images above, you’ll see that the source of the second pic was the this particular one.

All over between Ranbir & Katrina?

Ranbir and Katrina’s relationship had a rocky run from the very beginning. Their arguments constantly revolved around insecurity and loyalty issues. Katrina felt Ranbir wasn’t giving her enough time, while he felt extremely stifled towards the end. After her split from Salman, Katrina wanted to give her relation with Ranbir everything. There was even a time when she contemplated going public.
But then, things took turn for the worse. Enter his Rockstar co-star Nargis Fakhri, a Kingfisher calendar girl, who along with her looks had the right attitude to attract RK’s attention. A source spills the beans on how things went down, “It wasn’t a surprise for anyone.
They had been arguing and fighting for over a month. When the new gal got in the frame, it only got worse. Kat was totally against him spending time with her. There were times when he was with Fakhri and wouldn’t pick up Katrina’s calls. He said they were meeting to see the film’s rushes, but later she realised he was just making excuses to spend time with her.”

What seemed like mere infatuation at the start, turned serious when Nargis got a chance to visit the Kapoor household in Delhi. The source adds, “When Ranbir took her to his sister Riddhima’s place it was a big step. It upset Kat that he was introducing her to his family when they were still going around. She felt like he was two-timing her with Nargis.”
It is believed that Ranbir’s ex-girlfriend Deepika Padukone’s interest in acting with him was also a bone of contention for Kat. She was extremely upset with the news that Deepika might be doing Ayan Mukherji’s next with RK. Even though RK and Deepika have got over each other, Kat wasn’t pleased with the idea that they would be working together in the same film. She even expressed her apprehensions to Ayan who told her he hadn’t finalised anyone yet.
Ranbir has been spotted partying hard with Nargis at her birthday bash in a Bandra nightclub, where the two were seen getting cozy.

Deepika Padukone won’t perform at India-South Africa match

The title track of the film “Dum Maaro Dum” will be launched during the crucial India-South Africa match in Nagpur Saturday, but actress Deepika Padukone, who features in the song, will not perform at the event.

More than 45,000 people are expected to attend the match at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, so Sippy had requested Deepika if she could perform live? But the 25-year-old is unable to do as she is busy with the shooting of “Aarakshan” in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

“Unfortunately, Deepika Padukone is shooting for ‘Aarakshan’ in Bhopal and doesn’t have time to rehearse as she would land on same day in Nagpur. She expressed her regret as it would be very difficult for her to perform in front of a 45,000 plus crowd without any rehearsals. The song is extremely dance oriented and needs to be well orchestrated with a troupe of dancers,” a source told IANS.

So finally, the “Dum Maaro Dum” team will launch the song in the mid break after the first innings.

Sippy said: “Well it would have been extremely exciting if she had had time to rehearse and perform live in front of the audience. It would have given the song new energy. But we understand and have decided to showcase the song during half time in the match. It’s one of the most important matches we have.”

Starring Abhishek Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Bipasha Basu and Prateik Babbar, “Dum Maaro Dum” is directed by Rohan Sippy and Deepika is making a special appearance in the item song.

“Dum Maaro Dum” will hit the screens April 22. It revolves around six Indians who meet in Goa and their lives change after getting involved with the drug mafia.

Why Shah Rukh Khan isn't watching his own Ra.One?

Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies production house is no more a one-man show. In what seems to be major revision in his working methods, Shah Rukh, known to have his finger in every pie,has decided to delegate more authority and power to his extremely efficient colleagues and directors.
This critical decision must be weighed in the light of Shah Rukh’s decision to devote the most time to what he really loves doing the most: acting and being with his family.
Says a source close to SRK, “All these years Shah Rukh has been able to devote himself with equal passion to a number of activities both within his own production house and outside. But now he wants to focus on what he loves best. He wants to build his equity as an actor. At the same time he doesn’t want to miss out on his children’s growing years.” To implement his new energy-conservation policy Shah Rukh has withdrawn his responsibilities towards the post-production of Ra.1. 
Says the source, “Earlier whenever Shah Rukh produced films he was hand-on in every department.This time he has left the entire production and post-production in other professional hands,so much so that he hasn’t even watched the rushes of Ra1 as yet. As far as he’s concerned his job as an actor and producer in Ra1 is done. His team has now taken over.”
Most of Shah Rukh’s associates have observed that he has now become a team player.
Says a close friend, “Earlier he took personal charge of everything that flowed out of his production house.That has changed now. Maybe it’s the IPL effect on Shah Rukh. But he now insists on other professionals in his production house doing their jobs while he does his own.”
Director Anubhav Sinha confirms that Shah Rukh Khan has not seen the rushes of Ra1 yet.
“I’ve been persuading him to watch it. But he has been shrugging it off. As far as he’s concerned he’s moved on. ‘Picture ban gayi na. Now is the time to focus on its marketing,’ Shah Rukh told me.He has always been a restless soul. Now he is even more so.”
This refusal to rest on laurels and to linger on current production activities is an indication of the direction Shah Rukh’s life will take in the coming years.
It’s time for the superstar to let others in his company make their presence felt. It’s also time for the mega-star to stop being taken for granted.
For years Shah Rukh has played cameos,done guest appearances and voiceovers for friends and strangers. Now, we are told,he won’t be taken for granted.

Is Ranbir Kapoor no longer friends with Imran Khan?

 In Bollywood, friends turning foes is an old story and the latest B-town celebrity falling prey to this wily affectation is none other than Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan. Once thick friends, the two young actors are embroiled in an intense battle for Bollywood assignments and endorsement pie. 
Talking to a daily on Ranbir and Imran’s souring friendship, a source said, “When there are two actors eyeing the same position then there are bound to be problems. However the friendship between the two was too good to be true. Initially the first friction took place when Imran`s now wife and then fiancée made some comments about Ranbir while watching ‘Raajneeti’. However Imran picked up the phone and clarified everything and all was okay. Both the friends were so close to each other that they had also decided to start a production house; they were in talks with Imtiaz Ali to make a film with them . “It was Imran who started on a high note with a super hit in ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, while Ranbir had a flop film in ‘Saawariya’. However they both have always been considered `youngsters to watch out for`. Imran suffered a setback with a couple of flops like ‘Luck’ and ‘Kidnap’ while Ranbir did some good work in semi hits ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’, ‘Wake Up Sid’ and ‘Rocket Singh-Salesman of the Year’, the latter failing to even get a decent opening. Ranbir got his first big hit via ‘Raajneeti’ where he was also praised as an actor. Imran then got a huge hit with ‘I Hate Luv Storys’. The comparisons were clear. While Ranbir was known as an actor, Imran made his mark as a charmer,” said the source.
The source continued, “The friendship was growing and both of them even hosted the recently-concluded Filmfare Awards. Ranbir even attended Imran`s marriage party which was thrown by Aamir and everything seemed fine. However the biggest trigger was by a newspaper report which said that Ranbir was passing on all his rejected brands to Imran. The shocking part for Imran was that normally Ranbir calls him up to clarify. However in this case Ranbir did not and Imran was not at all happy. In many earlier instances, both Imran and Ranbir have been very particular to pick up the phone and clarify things as they did not want their friendship to suffer at all. However after the article, a series of articles followed from both ends making it very clear that both of them were out to outdo each other. While both the parties concerned are of the opinion that they do not have any issues with each other, there definitely seems to be something more than what meets the eye.
Interestingly, the source further added, “Another thing that worked against Ranbir was that while Imran was gaining popularity among his co-stars, be it Kareena, Katrina or Sonam, Ranbir was unfortunately linked to them. Imran in turns is every heroine’s favourte co-star.”
