Priyanka, Akshay together again, for a show
Mumbai, Dec 26 (IANS) Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, who had stopped working together in spite of doing successful films like "Aitraaz" and "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi", came together after a four-year gap for a show in Hong Kong.
Akshay and Priyanka performed together on stage Thursday for Christmas at the Convention Centre in Hong Kong for the show - From Chandni Chowk To Hong Kong.
"Yes, I performed on stage with Akshay Kumar in Hong Kong. It was great fun," Priyanka, who has delivered two hits in the row - "Fashion" and "Dostana" - told IANS.
And what a rollicking show it was! Audiences have been craving to see the hit pair together for three years. Joining the pair was Bipasha Basu.
For reasons best known to them, Akshay and Priyanka, who came together for the first time in "Andaaz", were never seen as a couple on screen after "Waqt - Race Against Time". So deep was the cleft between the pair that Suneel Darshan had to scrap an Akshay-Priyanka starrer after picturising a song with them.
After Priyanka drifted away, Akshay tried to form a screen pair with Kareena Kapoor by doing some not so successful films like "Talaash", "Bewafaa" and "Tashan". When that didn't work too well, the actor turned to Katrina Kaif for professional sustenance.
But now it seems the ice has thawed.

By Bollywood Hungama News Network
Sonam Kapoor's debut film Saawariya may have sunk without a trace at the B.O. Yet both the critics and audience were unanimous in their words of praise for the tall and pretty actress. Since then, Sonam has been busy shooting for her second film- Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6 where she is paired opposite Abhishek Bachchan.
This year, Sonam may not have had a single release, yet she has managed to stay in the limelight for one reason or the other. The latest is that Sonam has bagged her first official endorsement deal. According to sources, it is learnt that the young actress will be the brand ambassador for international cosmetic brand L'Oreal and will launch its new range of products targeted at the young generation.
By now its common knowledge that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been the face of L'Oreal. So does that mean its curtains for Ash from the L'Oreal family? Well, not quite, as Ash will continue her association with the brand as the original old face of L'Oreal while Sonam would be the face of L'Oreal for the younger generation.
Sonam has already shot for her first L'Oreal ad which will be launched sometime in January next year (2009).

New Delhi, Indian television's Ugly Betty Mona Singh
New Delhi, Dec 27 (IANS) Indian television's "Ugly Betty" Mona Singh, who is set to make her big screen debut with Aamir Khan-starrer "Three Idiots", says she is excited but also nervous about working with the superstar."Aamir is so good. It's not even funny. He makes me so nervous. In fact, the thought of working with any of the big stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan makes me very nervous. But for now, I am excited," Mona told IANS over telephone from Mumbai.
In "Three Idiots", which is based on Chetan Bhagat's best-selling novel "Five Point Someone" and is being directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Mona plays Kareena Kapoor's sister.
"I play a very bubbly character in the film and my look is very different from what I look right now. My role is really good and I have a major part in the climax of the film," said Mona.
She became extremely popular when she essayed the role of ugly duckling Jassi in Sony TV's "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin". Her true identity was kept under wraps in the initial months of the show. Mona managed to win the viewers' heart as Jassi.
Now she is back to being in disguise on a new reality TV show "Arre Deewano Mujhe Pehchano". She would be competing with celebrity contestants Rakhi Sawant, Shweta Keswani, Mahesh Manjrekar, Yash Tonk, Gulshan Grover, Divya Dutta and Mandira Bedi to win the title of "Master of Disguise".
Commenting upon the format of the show, she said: "The show is all about stand-up comedy actually. It's about how well we can conceal our identity and find a scapegoat on the streets. It's quite a challenge for all of us and a very refreshing show."
Winner of two dance reality shows - "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa" and "Ek Khiladi EK Haseena", Mona is quite confident of her success on the show.
She said: "I think I will be good. I had successfully remained in disguise for 'Jassi...' so I might perform better than others. But my voice is a big giveaway. When I speak in Hindi, it has a very strong Punjabi accent so I have to work hard on it."
Right now Mona is seen in NDTV Imagine's hit soap "Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi".
"I found the character interesting, so I took it up. Also, 'Radhaa...' is a very simple and sweet show and I used to watch it regularly," she said.
For now, Mona is concentrating on "Arre Deewano Mujhe Pehchano" and "Three Idiots" and says some "interesting offers" are coming her way.

Mumbai attacks British eyewitness 'frantically' tried to escape
Alan Jones from South Wales said that he was in a lift in the lobby at the Oberoi Trident Hotel in Mumbai when a man standing next to him was shot by terrorists.
He was one of an unknown number of British nationals caught up in the raids and forced to shelter from heavily-armed terrorists reportedly hunting for Westerners, specifically US and UK nationals.
Mr Jones, who is in Mumbai on business, said he was with a colleague when the shooting began.
He told the BBC: "We took the lift to the lobby and heard bangs as the door opened. A Japanese man, one of four in the lift, was shot and wounded at that precise moment."
As the injured man slumped to the floor he obstructed the doors.
"I frantically pressed the 'close door' button, but had to move the shot man's foot for the door to close," Mr Jones said.
After pulling the wounded man back into the lift they headed to their rooms, but were told by staff to head to a "safe" room in the hotel basement.
"There we met many residents, but nowhere near all of them," he said.
He was later escorted away from the hotel to an office.

Jiah says she's lucky to have worked with superstars
By Subhash K. JhaMumbai, Dec 27 (IANS) Jiah Khan has impressed with her performance in "Ghajini" and the 20-year-old says it was great acting with Aamir Khan in her second film, after having starred opposite superstar Amitabh Bachchan in her debut venture.
"If I had Mr. Bachchan as my co-star in the first film, here it's Aamir. Can't get any bigger," Jiah told IANS.
The young starlet admits she was intimidated by Aamir. "To match up with him was quite a tough task. I've grown up by 10 years in the last two years," she said.
"It's a big film for me. And I was very happy with my role. 'Nishabd' and 'Ghajini' are so different. I needed this kind of a challenge. I'm dressed from head to toe - except for that one song ('Lattoo') where I transform from a Plain Jane to a femme fatale," the actress added.
Jiah was exceptionally good in the item number "Lattoo", but she says it wasn't difficult doing the song as she has been dancing to Bollywood numbers since she was six years old.
" 'Lattoo' is my first big Bollywood item song. And I've been performing to Bollywood songs from the age of six in front of the mirror. I've had years of practice," Jiah laughed.
She was quick to brush aside reported difference between her and Asin, the lead actress of "Ghajini".
"I didn't have any scenes with Asin. But recently we were in Panchgani together and we spoke for the first time then. Without a doubt she was amazing in the Tamil version of 'Ghajini'. This is her first Bollywood film and therefore a big thing. From my side there's no bad blood at all. I think Asin is beautiful. She has been working a long time. This is just my second film. I had a lot to learn from both Asin and Aamir," said Jiah, who debuted with controversial film "Nishabd".
Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, "Nishabd" was loosely based on Vladimir Nabokov's controversial novel "Lolita" and Jiah was paired opposite Amitabh Bachchan.
No regrets about doing an unconventional film like "Nishabd" so early in her career?
"None at all. I agree our audiences are still very conservative and 'Nishabd' was a very bold subject. Even in the West 'Lolita' created a huge controversy although they are no strangers to sex and nudity. For me 'Nishabd' was a challenge because I got to work with Mr. Bachchan and Mr. Varma so early in my career. And to be doing a central role in a film featuring Mr. Bachchan. It made me what I am. So I am grateful," she said. bollywood.com
Katrina Kaif is accident prone
Mumbai, Dec 25 (IANS) Katrina Kaif is very accident prone. A month ago, Ranbir Kapoor missed his cue and slapped her so hard on the sets of "Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani" that her face got swollen badly and shooting had to be cancelled. Last week, she got her leg rather badly injured while shooting for "De Dhana Dhan".According to cast members at Film City here, Katrina was doing an underwater sequence with Akshay Kumar when her foot got tangled under water.
"The more she tried to extricate herself the more her leg got tangled. She tried to scream for help, but because of the noise on the sets including the stunt co-ordinators who were shouting instructions to the entire cast, no one heard Katrina's screams of pain," a source told IANS.
Finally, Akshay bailed her out.
"Akshay saw that Katrina was in trouble. He quickly swam to her and got her out of the tangle," said the source.
Katrina's leg was badly hurt. "It could've been worse," said the source, "but tetanus shots and sedatives have eased her pain."
When contacted, Katrina tried to downplay the incident saying: "It was nothing. I hurt my leg. There was a cut that hasn't healed as yet. So I'm in pain."bollywood.com
Asin Keeping her fingers crossed
By Taran Adarsh, Bollywood Hungama News Network
Asin is keeping her fingers crossed! The verdict will be out in a few days from now. "I wouldn't say I am nervous. But I am anxious to know how the audiences react to the film and also to my performance. I haven't watched the film yet - I don't do that before it releases - but I've decided to watch it first day, first show," Asin states.
Asin may belong to Kerala, but the pretty actress, who's a leading name in South, speaks Hindi fluently. "We shot GHAJINI in sync sound, so there was no question of not knowing the language," she smiles. In fact, Aamir had called up Asin after the screening of the Tamil version, congratulating her on her performance in the film. "In the end, he casually asked me if I could speak in Hindi. I replied in the affirmative. I didn't realize why he asked me that question, until the makers approached me for the Hindi remake," she reminisces.
With GHAJINI and LONDON DREAMS in her kitty, Asin has decided to move bag and baggage to Mumbai. "I moved to Mumbai in January this year. But that doesn't mean I've closed the doors for South films. If the role interests me, I would instantly say 'yes' to a Tamil or Malayalam film. Let's see how the career goes after GHAJINI," she smiles
