noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:31:00 +0000

Michael Jackson's children - Prince, Paris and Blanket - paid tribute to their late father Thursday, January 26, using his sequined glove and shoes to make hand and foot impressions in the concrete at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The special event in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre also served to promote Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour," which debuts in Los Angeles on Friday, January 27.

Those attending included Michael's mother Katherine Jackson and his brothers Tito, Marlon and Jackie.

Celebrity guests included Canadian teen heartthrob Justin Bieber, Quincy Jones, Chris Tucker, Smokey Robinson, Melanie Fiona and Harry Shum Jr. and Amber Riley of the Glee cast.

Paris, 13, introduced Bieber, 17, saying "We are all very big fans of [Justin] and his music.

"I know I am," she added smilingly.

Beiber then performed his own rendition of Rockin' Robin, which Michael had covered on his first solo album in 1972.

After touring the US and Canada through this year, the show will take up residency in Las Vegas.

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:31:00 +0000

Shah Rukh Khan N Katrina Kaif Not Romantically Paired

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:31:00 +0000

Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif are not romantically paired in Yash Chopra's upcoming untitled romance drama.

Yash Raj Films, the film's producers, have earlier announced Shah Rukh, Katrina and Anushka Sharma as the film's headlining stars.

Shah Rukh was recently quizzed by zoOm TV about his pairing with Katrina Kaif. He didn't directly answer the question, something he rarely does in the best of times, let alone when the question is megaton loaded. Instead, he responded:

"It's Yash Chopra's directorial venture, Anushka is my leading lady." [via TOI]

Thereafter, he stonewalled all questions on Katrina.

We are thinking Katrina's role in the film could well be like Rani Mukerji's in Yash Chopra's last project - Veer Zara (2004). But then, trying to interpret what Shah Rukh said is like deliberately stepping on a banana peel!

Anushka Sharma Sartorial Splendor at 2012 Apsara Awards

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:31:00 +0000

Anushka Sharma looked gorgeous in a velvet Sabyasachi sari with white tulle folds at the 2012 Apsara Film & TV Producers Guild Awards at Yash Raj Studios in Andheri, Mumbai on Wednesday, January 25.

A sari that playfully intersperses a contrasting fabric at the folds is fast becoming a celebrity favorite, and an impressive calling card for designer Sabyasachi. Earlier this month, we saw Vidya Balan simmer in such a sari at the 92.7 BIG FM new jingle launch in Andheri.

Anushka, 23, paired her floral embroidered number with a long sleeve blouse accented with matching embroidery.

The elaborate ensemble also included a clutch and ballerinas, crafted to match the sari.

Her hair was styled in a teased top updo, setting off her beautiful slender neck and magnificent Amrapali chandalier earrings.

Bold red lips, thick liner and a natural pink blusher for a glowing-from-within look rounded her incandescent youthful looks.

Her styling team was led by her regular stylist Nisha Kundnani and included make up artiste Puneet Saini and hair stylist Zoey Quinny.

Anushka, one of the performers at the event, danced to the songs 'Dum dum', 'Thag le' and 'Jazba' with TV actors Nandish Sandhu, Sushant Singh Rajput and Shabbir Ahluwalia respectively.

Anushka's upcoming films include Yash Chopra's yet to be titled project with co-star Shah Rukh Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mann Dola with co-star Imran Khan.

Aamir Khan Wows in 'Talaash' Teaser

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:31:00 +0000

Talaash headlining Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor is a keenly awaited film and the 1m 17s teaser of it released today convinced us the wait is going to be worth the while.

The film is a cop drama, with Aamir Khan playing the cop in search of a criminal. Rani Mukerji plays a sex worker and Kareena Kapoor a socialite who helps sex workers and other children.

The teaser very effectively conveys the setting of the film, without giving away anything about the plot. The hunt hints at edge of the seat action and the suspense even in the short teaser is palpable.

Most of the footage focuses on Aamir Khan who looks fierce with a thick mustache and upright bearing. A tiger on the prowl. Khan earlier played a cop very effectively in Sarfarosh.

Kareena Kapoor looks glamorous and must have hogged all the attention of the film's designer Manish Malhotra, because Rani Mukerji sports a completely deglam look wearing wardrobe that probably came straight out of her own closet.

Kareena Kapoor White Delight at 2012 Apsara Awards

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:31:00 +0000

Kareena Kapoor rocked a winter white Paule Ka long bustier dress at the 2012 Apsara Film & TV Producers Guild Awards at Yash Raj Studios in Andheri, Mumbai on Wednesday, January 25.

Kareena's satin backed crepe gown was from the Black Carpet collection of the French designer. The strapless number featured a drape detail starting at the neck, floral embroidered black belt tied in a bow at the back and a high riding side slit.

The 31-year-old actor matched her YSL strappy platform heels to the black belt of the gown.

Her middle parted sleek hair was tucked behind the right ear and draped her left shoulder for a dramatic effect.

Her Red lipstick added the pop of pigment to the otherwise basic color scheme of her dress, while also accentuating the pink tone of her skin. Bold and precise eyeliner on upper and lower lash lines and pink nails rounded her stylish looks.

Her stylist Tanya Ghavari exclusively tells sawfnews.com that the Heroine star decided last minute to attend the Awards evening.

"Kareena only decided two days ago to go for the Awards so we had to make it elegant, classic and still glam! I knew this look would work wonders on her."

Demi Moore Anorexic

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:10:00 +0000

Actress Demi Moore is being treated for “exhaustion,” her publicist said Tuesday.

But a new media report claims the Ghost star has been hospitalized for treatment of anorexia.

Demi was entertaining a friend at her Beverly Hills home when she began shaking uncontrollably. E! News reports she was “acting like she was suffering from a seizure.” The actress’ longtime has released a statement claiming Moore admitted herself to the hospital to recover from the stresses in her life at the moment.

The 49-year-old star filed for divorce from actor Ashton Kutcher in November. The split came after the Two and a Half Men actor was accused of repeatedly cheating on her with much younger women — even on the eve of their sixth wedding anniversary.

Demi was rushed to the hospital on Monday night. Upon her release, she sought professional help for the eating disorder after her weight plummeted in recent weeks.

An insider told Radar Online:

“She collapsed after having an epileptic seizure. Demi is in getting treated for anorexia, as well as other issues that caused her seizure. She has not taken care of her health at all lately and has lost a lot of weight.”

Demi recently admitted that in the wake of the demise of her relationship with Ashton, she’s frightened that she is “not worthy of being loved.”

“What scares me is that I’m going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I’m really not lovable, that I’m not worthy of being loved. That there’s something fundamentally wrong with me and that I wasn’t wanted here in the first place.”

Rihanna Thug Life New Tattoo

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:10:00 +0000

The songstress, who already has about 10 tattoos, added some new pink ink to her collection yesterday. Ri-Ri tweeted this photo of herself after she just inked “Thug Life” across her knuckles, in honor of the late TuPac. “All these bitches screaming that 2pac back #THUGLIFE,” Rihanna said with her new photo.

Rihanna also tweeted photos of herself with the owners of the Hollywood tattoo parlor, all smiles as she scored new tattoos. Oh Ri-Ri…..what are we going to do with you?

Oprah Blue Ivy’s Godmother

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:10:00 +0000

Jay-Z and Beyonce’s little girl is in for a lifetime of really lavish birthday parties.

Word on the Curb has it that hip-hop’s reigning super-couple have asked media goddess Oprah Winfrey to be the baby’s godmother!

Of course, the reports haven’t been confirmed by the uber-private couple themselves, but Radar Online reports that the talk show legend has been tapped to be a godparent, alongside Jay-Z’s pal Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith.

We wonder if it was O’s baby gift to Jay and Bey did the trick? Oprah reportedly sent her famous pals “a huge trunk of children’s books” for baby Blue shortly after her arrival earlier this month.

Leonardo DiCaprio Wants a Girl Like His Mother

noreply@blogger.com (sara) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:09:00 +0000

Leonardo DiCaprio says his ideal woman is like his mother.

The J. Edgar actor is currently dating model Erin Heatherton but he admits any girlfriend has a lot to live up to because he compares them to his beloved mum, Irmelin.

He said: “My mother is the centre of my life. To have a woman like that in your life, who is strong, who’ll be honest with you about who you are… that’s something I treasure. And it’s something I look for in a woman.”

Leonardo – who has previously dated models Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli – also revealed how his love life suffered when he starred in 1997 blockbuster Titanic, because it transformed him into a worldwide heartthrob.

Leonardo – who starred in the romantic blockbuster alongside Kate Winslet – is quoted by the Daily Express newspaper as saying: “I had better success meeting girls before I did the film. My interactions with them didn’t have the stigma behind it.”

Last year, the 37-year-old actor split from Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively after five months of dating and has been linked to several models since.

Leonardo has previously admitted he is unsure if he will ever marry because seeing other people’s failed unions has put him off tying the knot.

He explained: “I don’t know whether I’ll ever get married. I’ve seen too many supposedly happy marriages go down. I’ve been as shocked as anyone.

“No one can look at the marriages of other people and make a judgment. I don’t know the private lives of the actors I work with. I just know if they are good actors or good directors.”
