Personal Quotes
(December 2001, about Hrithik Roshan): I wish I looked as good as he does. And I wish I danced as well as he does!

Yes, I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?

I'd rather sink trying to be different, than stay afloat like everyone else

I cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working, and to do films till the very end, it is the only way I can express my love for them.

To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I've portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic lover. And now I've played Devdas. For someone who doesn't even like love stories, I've played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking, I wouldn't see any of the romantic films I've acted in.

I'm the luckiest man in the world and I don't want to hide from the faces I'm acting for. So I don't surround myself with guards, I've never given an interview in which I've said I feel bad that I can't go shopping or I can't go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed. I'm not the kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don't think I'm a big enough star to hide behind them, honest). I go to see movies in the cinema theatres, I go to restaurants with my family and friends even though I know people are going to disturb me there.

God has become a generic term like `mind blowing.' It is embarrassing. I would have said that to Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar. I used to tell them I want to stand in the same space as you. I've told Kamal Haasan, I just want to touch you. They are the gods of acting. When people call me God, I say, no, I'm still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.

(August 2004): Awards that ignore me are losers.

(August 2004): I'm try-sexual. I try anything that's sexual.

(August 2004): I have no competition. Every year the names I'm pitted against keep changing. You can't cream the competition, you have to kill it.

I keep hearing that our films are escapist and unreal but I find our films the most real in the world. We don't have people going up in a rocket and single-handedly blowing up a meteor. We don't have a president on Air Force One saving the world or things coming out of people's stomachs. Our fantasies and escapism are real. It's just people singing and dancing in the street. If England had won the World Cup you would have seen people singing and dancing like that.

I don't like wearing dark glasses. I'm happy with the fact that people know me. I want people to scream and shout at me, I want people to trouble me when I'm having lunch, I like six bodyguards around me. I love being a star. I find it very strange when people who are famous say they don't want to be photographed. I don't want to be photographed first thing in the morning, I don't want people peeping into my bedroom, but besides that, it's a wonderful life.

"I haven't given up smoking. I'm very clear about it, it's a personal choice. I want to cut down on it. It shouldn't be made into an issue to say, damn good or damn bad. Whether I give it up or not shouldn't be an issue." (Movie Mag, May 2006)

"I was supposed to have done Rang De Basanti (2006), the guy on the motorbike. I didn't have the dates. They were shooting in Delhi and the dates were clashing with Paheli." (Movie Mag, May 2006)

"It's not like Steven Spielberg is waiting with a script for me. I don't think I'll ever be offered a great international film in my lifetime, so I'd rather be a king here. Moreover, Indian cinema is the greatest in the world. But of course, after spending three months in LA, London, and New York I found that our cinema is a little exaggerated. To make a mark in the West we have to reach their level without losing our identity, culture or songs. I don't want to star in a Hollywood film, but want to make a film that crosses over universally." (Movie Mag, May 2006)

On trying to get Paheli (2005) an Oscar nomination: "There's a misreport here about our lobbying at the Oscars. The understanding that we have of the Oscars is very different from how it really is. Because Indian film, foreign films are not known, you're supposed to hire a PR company which we did. It's not as if you just go there, show your films, lobby and talk to them. You're not allowed to lobby as in you're not allowed to meet the Academy members, talk to them or even make a call to them. You just keep advertising in the 'For Consideration For Oscars' category. We took out full page ads in papers like Variety and Hollywood Reporter. The only good thing we did was that we advertised very frequently, it was promoted on the same scale as the biggest of films. We did it because we could afford it." (Movie Mag, May 2006)

"I felt Asoka (2001) should have been chosen for the Oscars. We had worked towards that. We had these international distributors for it. We were the first to actually release an Indian film internationally in traditionally non-Indian theaters. We spent a lot of money and lost a lot of money too. We were the first to put up boardings in London, in tube stations. We did speak to everyone who was anyone here, wondering if Asoka could go to the Oscars. But the one that got chosen was Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001) which was even better. So we had no complaints. After that I didn't make any film for the foreign market." (Movie Mag, May 2006)

You must respect your seniors, bu never get intimidated by them. Winning should be a habit, not an option. The four Hs are important when you play to win --- honesty, humor, hard work and a bit of haraamipan.

I don't look at the figures that my movies make. The only figures I look at are girl's figures. (When asked to comment on what he felt about the figures his movies gross.)

Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.

If I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.

I don't kiss on screen. Period.

There are only two Khans. Ghenghis Khan and Shahrukh Khan

Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough.

You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.

I am very shy. If I am flying British Airways and the air hostess asks me two questions, and I don't understand her accent - I will go hungry for the entire flight.

The dream I chased, took me on a journey. A journey more rewarding then the goals, the achievements. When I look back it's like facing a million mirrors. Each reflection opens a window. A window to the world I've just discovered. The world I want to share with all of you.

If I am a role model, I must be the worst one in the world.

I've never had a girl make a pass at me.

Togetherness, passion, laughter, faith, trust and jealousy are the essential ingredients of love.

The collar-bone is my favorite part of the human body.

If asking me whether sleeping with X or Y gives the media pleasure, then so be it. It's a small price to pay.

“Avatar” set to overtake “Titanic” in worldwide box office

2010-01-30T21:21:00.000-08:00

Maybe it’s the dazzling 3D visuals. Maybe it’s the love story it tells. Maybe it’s the green message it seeks to expound. But whatever the reason, James Cameron’s mega-budget sci-fi yarn “Avatar” will soon pass his previous film “Titanic” as the global box office superstar of all time.

In only 39 days in theatrical release, “Avatar” has grossed $1.838 billion worldwide as of Sunday. “Titanic” earned $1.843 billion, but that figure could be surpassed as early as today (Monday). It should be noted that it took “Titanic” months to reach its historic box office summit and it remained No. 1 for 15 weeks.

Paul Dergarabedian, a box office analyst for Hollywood.com, said taking nothing away from “Avatar,” one should remember that ticket prices averaged about $4 when “Titanic” came out in the late 1990s. Today’s average ticket costs $7.46, according to the Motion Picture Assn. of America.

“Avatar” also has the advantage of higher ticket prices for its 3D showings, which so far have accounted for 75 per cent of the tickets sold.

“I figure if the average price of a movie ticket today is $7.46, that the cost for 3D is $3 higher,” said Dergarabedian.

“Titanic” sold 120 million tickets domestically during its lifespan, he noted, while domestically, “Avatar” has sold about 60 million.

Despite all the qualifications, Degarabedian still believes “Avatar’s” box office numbers are a stunning achievement.

He pointed out that “Gone With the Wind”, adjusted for inflation, has earned $1.4 billion. “That’s huge, but ‘Gone With the Wind” has been re-issued a gazillion times in theaters over the years. In terms of the number of sheer eyeballs that have seen that film, that’s the king.”

To date, “Avatar” has grossed $551.7 million domestically. It should surpass “Titanic” ($600.8 million) by the middle of next week, Dergarabedian reasons.

Why has the world flocked to see “Avatar?”

“I think number one it’s the visuals,” Dergarabedian said. “I think it’s tantamount to when audiences first saw films like ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ ‘Fantasia,’ ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ and ‘Star Wars’ for the pure visual impact. That works well with a global audience and transcends cultural and language barriers. It also has a green message, a love story, and a good vs. evil story line, but it’s framed in a visually stunning world and that’s really powerful.

“For today’s audiences to be blown away by anything is unprecedented because they’ve seen it all.”

Also, he said, don’t dismiss the fact that it’s a James Cameron film. “I think people know–if they don’t know his name, they know it’s from the same guy who directed “Titanic.”

How high will “Avatar” go? It’s too early to say if it will cross the $2 billion level, but you never know.

“I used to think you’d have to be insane to think a movie could make $2 billion worldwide,” he said. “But today it’s almost at $1.84 billion so you never know.”
Sony Pictures post-apocalyptic thriller “Legion,” from its genre label Screen Gems, opened to $18 million.

“Avatar” grossed an additional $107 million overseas, combined with $36 million in North America, bringing its worldwide total to $1.841 billion. It’s $2 million away from passing the $1.843-billion worldwide gross record set by “Titanic” in 1998.

When Vidya Balan refused to dub for Ishqiya

2010-01-30T21:15:00.000-08:00

The spoken language in debutant Abhishek Chaubey's Ishqiya turned out to more problematic than just a censorial issue. The film's leading lady Vidya Balan too was having major linguistic issues. Last month, when Vidya got down to dub her dialogues, she was shocked by the content. Says a source, "While shooting the scenes Vidya knew the dialogues were crudely colloquial in content. But she didn't realize their impact until she saw herself speaking on screen. When Vidya saw herself mouthing words that she had never heard before this film, she was horrified. She begged off from the dubbing saying she had a bad throat and rushed off."

Continues the source, "Vidya actually walked out not once but twice. After hearing the lurid content and the way she said those words on screen, Vidya simply sighed and said she couldn't say those lines again. The panicky dubbing-in-charge cajoled her back. But again Vidya left."

Director Abhishek had to step in to convince Vidya to just forget her own aesthetic sensibilities and speak the language of her saucy character.

But then if it is Vishal Bhardwaj's production it's got to be abusive. Kaminey legitimized the term kaminey. In Ishqiya we've the suave and sober Vidya Balan using the word 'ch***iya' without flinching.

Says Vidya, "It wasn't easy for me. I couldn't say the word out loud. During rehearsals I'd just mumble it under my breath or not say it at all. My co-star Arshad Warsi said I'd have to say it out loud in the rehearsals, or it wouldn't come out right in the final take. But I insisted on just skipping the word in the rehearsals. But when I said it out aloud in front of the camera it sounded like I had been saying it all my life. Fortunately Ishqiya had sync sound, so I thought I wouldn't have to say those expletives again."

Alas, woman proposes but the techno-God disposes. Many portions of the live sound in Ishqiya were found to be not up the mark and had to be dubbed. Finally, Vidya did dub. But not without cringe benefits.

Any fear of how the expletive would be received by women audiences? "Not at all. I came to know that the 'ch' word is actually a term of endearment in certain parts of North India. I'm holding my breath for the film to release to see audiences' reaction."

Divorce - the Hollywood way: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie the latest stars to split in glare of media spotlight

2010-01-27T10:30:00.000-08:00

FOR years they've been seen as the ultimate celebrity couple - sexy, beautiful, rich, cool and controversial.

So the rumoured end of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie "Brangelina" relationship is the biggest break-up in Hollywood for years.

The actors, who have three adopted children and three biological kids, have been together for six years after meeting on the set of crime thriller Mr And Mrs Smith.

The split is said to be down to drifting apart and, if it happens, could prove to be one of the most amicable Tinseltown break-ups ever. But not all star-studded splits are as friendly. Here are some of the nicest and nastiest break-ups:

TOM CRUISE AND NICOLE KIDMAN

Married for 10 years with two adopted children, Tom and Nicole divorced in 2001 and there were bitter exchanges. Kidman made jokes about being able to wear high heels again so as not to dwarf him. He described the marriage as a "passionless hell".

BRAD PITT AND JENNIFER ANISTON

Until Ms Jolie came along, Brad Pitt was married to Friends star Aniston. They wed in 2000 but divorced bitterly in 2005 after he left her for Angelina. The couple's marriage had been on the rocks, with claims of fights due to his refusal to stop smoking and her reluctance to have children. While he sailed off to Jolie, Aniston took it badly. She has been linked with several co-stars including Vince Vaughn and Gerard Butler.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND BEN AFFLECK

For two years they were the hottest celeb couple and the first to have a conjoined name - Beniffer. But the engaged lovers called it off in 2004. They blamed media pressure, which spilled over from the gossip columns to affect his movie career badly. After the split, he said: "It was probably bad for my career. There is a bleedover from the tabloids across your movie work and I ended up in the position where I was in a relationship and the media inflated stuff to sell magazines. I paid the price."

LINDSAY LOHAN AND SAMANTHA RONSON

Lohan's transformation from Disney Channel cutie to Hollywood wild child was complete when she announced her lesbian affair with Samantha Ronson. But their fiery twoyear relationship ended in acrimony with taunting and slagging each other in the media. There was talk of restraining orders and all kinds of comments, with Lohan describing the affair as being like her movie Mean Girls.

Sir Paul McCARTNEY AND HEATHER MILLS

One of the most public, nasty and expensive celebrity divorces saw the ex-Beatle ditch his wife of six years in a 2008 divorce. The judge branded her evidence as inaccurate and Mills waged a huge publicity war to defend her position against accusations of gold-digging.

After the hearing - and a massive payout to his ex-wife - Sir Paul said: "There will be no more nagging, no more chaos, no more Heather... bliss. I have peace at last."

CHARLIE SHEEN AND DENISE RICHARDS

The party guy was snared by the young star in 2002 after they dated for two years. In 2006, she filed for divorce while pregnant with their second daughter, saying she could take no more. She accused him of gambling, drug-taking and womanising. He retorted by calling her a "sad, jobless pig".

LIZ HURLEY AND HUGH GRANT

One of the most amicable splits was between British stars Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant. Their 13-year relationship survived his prostitute liaison but they broke up in 2000. They have remained good pals, Liz marrying Indian heir Arun Nayer and Hugh enjoying a long relationship with Jemima Khan.

SIENNA MILLER AND JUDE LAW

After proposing in 2004, Jude was only engaged to Sienna for a few months before sleeping with the nanny. The relationship survived his affair but ended in 2006. They have recently been rumoured to be dating again.

MADONNA AND GUY RITCHIE

After a wedding at Skibo Castle the duo divorced last year, with Madonna throwing a party to celebrate the end of her marriage to someone she said was "emotionally retarded".

His friends leaked stories that her obsession with fitness had ruined the marriage.

Jolie named Beauty Icon of the Decade

2010-01-25T10:29:00.000-08:00

London, Dec 29 (ANI): Angelina Jolie has pipped love rival Jennifer Aniston to become Beauty Icon of the Decade. The poll was conducted by Superdrug, reports The Daily Star. Steve Jebson from Superdrug said:

“Angelina is not a conventional beauty but her strong character shines through.”

Aniston, 40, is the ex-wife of 34-year-old Jolie’s partner Brad Pitt, 46. (ANI)

Jolie voted most beautiful star of past decade

2010-01-25T10:24:00.000-08:00

New York, Jan 6 (IANS) Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has been hailed as the most beautiful star of the past decade, according to a British poll.
The “Tomb Raider” actress was voted the most attractive female celebrity of the ‘noughties’, followed closely by former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston, who was previously married to Jolie’s current partner, Brad Pitt, reports hollywood.com.

The survey, carried out by British beauty retailer Superdrug, placed Australian singer Kylie Minogue in third place, while Welsh Oscar-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones was at number four.

“Angelina Jolie is not a conventional beauty but her strong character shines through her fabulous features to give her a unique standing in the beauty world. It’s worth noting that while everyone talks about Angelina’s pout we find that its her long thick lustrous hair that really makes women envious, as well as a figure made for red carpet posturing,” said Superdrug’s commercial director Steve Jebson.

Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Beyonce Knowles, Liv Tyler and Halle Berry also featured in the top 10.

Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are friends !!!

2010-01-19T20:44:00.000-08:00

‘We’re good friends’, this is the mantra being sung by one and all in Bollywood - whether it’s a Priyanka-Shahid or even an Abhishek and Shah Rukh Khan. Enmity seems to have reached the tipping point in the world of glit-n-glam, and while the Khans seem to be kissing and making up, Akshay Kumar isn’t too keen on chopping roles either. And the place for the big patch-ups these days seem to be film premieres!

It can be remembered that Shah Rukh Khan made it to the Drona premiere and the Khan-Bachchan war was called off. More recently, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan hugged and kissed at the ‘3 Idiots’ premiere. “It seems to be the perfect place, because for starters there is enough and more media to catch momentous occasions. Second, it’s easiest because there is no time for conversation, so you hug and let bygones be bygones. Third, you tend to find people from your circle too. You’ll have friends who know you well, and you can always hang out with them, while the actor-host is busy doing his job - playing host to the hilt,” says a prominent film personality, who has smoothened some relationships at such public events himself.

Of late we’ve heard of many actors kissing and making up... Vivek Oberoi included. After his efforts of seeking forgiveness from Salman have gone to waste, the actor now has managed to get into the good books of Karan Johar and SRK alike. And this has helped him bridge the ‘awkward’ ties he shared with Abhishek, considering Abhi is now married to Ash, Vievk’s ex! It was at the birthday party of Hrithik Roshan than SRK made Vivek and Abhishek patch up!

Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya, too, seem to have buried the hatchet. The two weren’t on talking terms after Ash was replaced by Rani Mukerji in SRK’s home production ‘Chalte Chalte’. Aishwarya, now, seems to have befriended producer Rohan Sippy all over again. She was miffed when Rohan went ahead and signed Priyanka Chopra for Bluffmaster, after having discussed it with her...

Ash and Kareena Kapoor sorted out the awkwardness between the Bachchans and Kapoors. It was at Karan Johar’s party that the Bachchan bahu and the Kapoor beti got talking. The relation? Well, Karisma was to be married to Abhishek, but their engagement broke, and Ash became the Bachchan bride! So not all was well between the two khandaans.

Another surprise was the presence of Kareena Kapoor at Hrithik Roshan’s bash. After rumours of their romantic liaison during ‘Yaadein’, ‘Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham’ and ‘Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon’, the two stopped acting together! Maybe it’s beau Saif who has made all the difference...

And only now we hear that the biggest dushmani is going to turn tables – that of Salman and Shah Rukh Khan. If talks are to be believed, Shah Rukh is being invited for Sallu’s ‘Veer’ premiere, and in all probability SRK is going to land up there, making this premiere another historic moment! Let’s wait and watch!

Imran Khan earns the title of Bhangra Boy of the Year

2010-01-08T11:36:00.000-08:00

Imran Khan’s career has been something of a slow burn, but it seems 2009 has been the year this singer has reached boiling point. Khan first broke onto the music scene with his single, Ni Nachle, back in 2007. The track along with its popular video became his first big hit and one of the songs of the summer.

Despite this first flush of success, Khan then fell off the radar for a couple of years. Rumours that he was about to release a debut album began circulating in early 2009 and by June, a track list was released followed by the album Amplifier. The record scooped the top spot in the charts and went on to become one of the hottest releases of the year.

The hard working star hasn’t stopped since having embarked on a world tour since releasing Amplifier. He’s played to packed crowds all around the globe proving his talent by giving some stunning acoustic performances. Bewafa is the second single release from the album and is proving a big hit with the music fans having received rave reviews.

What does 2010 have in store for the bhangra man of the moment? Imran Khan is due to continue his tour and is also said to be working on a follow-up album. Aside from music, Khan is rumoured to have plans to launch a clothing line. So the next 12 months are looking particularly busy for this bhangra boy.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty’s wedding celebrations go on and on

2010-01-08T11:33:00.000-08:00

There seems to be no end to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty’s wedding celebrations. Despite tying the knot almost two months ago and having enjoyed a whole weekend’s worth of celebrations, Shilpa and her new husband Raj Kundra were treated to another reception, this time in London’s House of Commons.

British MP Keith Vaz whom Shilpa describes as “a very dear friend” hosted the party for the newlyweds at the House of Commons this week. 150 guests were scheduled to attend, many of whom were MPs. Equality Minister Harriet Harman was also reported to have been invited. Shilpa and Keith Vaz are close acquaintances as she is the patron of the MP’s diabetes charity, Silver Star.

The actress had just returned from a luxury Mediterranean cruise which she had enjoyed along with Raj, and both of their families. Married life certainly seems to be suiting Shilpa as she announced, “I don’t know why I didn’t get married sooner.” The loved-up star went on to talk about her new husband saying, “Marriage is wonderful when the man whom you marry is good, and mine is wonderful! Touch wood, I’m loving every minute of the marriage.”

The pair are due to return to Mumbai at the end of the week, which Shilpa is looking forward to as she is said to be is missing the city and can’t wait to get back.

Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' becomes Bollywood smash

2010-01-08T11:30:00.000-08:00

Indian actress Kareena Kapoor (left) poses with actor Aamir Khan at the premiere of the Bollywood film '3 Idiots'

MUMBAI — Aamir Khan's latest film, "3 Idiots," has become the highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time, with strong showings at home and abroad raising hopes for further cross-over hits for Indian films.

The leading actor-producer-director wrote on his blog that box office takings for the coming-of-age comedy had already surpassed those for his 2008 hit "Ghajini," which was the previous record holder.

"In less than 10 days 3i has overtaken the ENTIRE business of GHAJINI!!!! India, Overseas, everywhere!!! And is still going strong," Khan wrote Monday, describing himself as "fully overwhelmed and totally humbled."

India's Business Standard newspaper said Tuesday that "3 Idiots" had taken 2.4 billion rupees (51 million dollars) from the domestic and international market since opening on December 25. "Ghajini" took 2.25 billion rupees.

Meanwhile www.hollywood.com and Deadline Hollywood, which both track box office takings in the United States, said "3 Idiots" has so far made 4.8 million dollars after opening in nearly 120 US theatres.

No Bollywood film has crossed the four-million-dollar threshold before.

The film's success has given Bollywood a boost, after a disappointing 2009 marked by a damaging producers' boycott of multiplex cinemas in a row over box office takings, swine flu fears and a string of big budget flops.

The Business Standard said "3 Idiots" has so far made more money than Bollywood's entire ticket receipts in November, which included the hit "Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani" (An Amazing Story Of Strange Love).

Indian box office takings are lower than in Hollywood because of lower ticket prices.

Film critics and industry analysts attributed the success of "3 Idiots" not just to Khan's star quality, but also high production values, a sustained marketing campaign and the story's wide appeal.

A public row about how much the film was based on Chetan Bhagat's best-seller "Five Point Someone," and a lack of other big-name releases, may also have helped.

"It's a very well-made film with a message and with a big star. It brings back memories of people's experience of the education system in India," Taran Adarsh, from bollywoodhungama.com, said of the film's overseas success.

"If you still have family here I think you identify with it all the more," he told AFP.

Mayank Shekhar, national cultural editor at The Hindustan Times newspaper, said the same expatriate Indian "IT crowd" who bought "Five Point Someone" appear to have flocked to US cinemas, boosting audiences.

"What's equally important is that it's not a preachy film. It's by itself a complete comedy, which is what most mainstream audiences go for," he said.

A well-constructed combination of a leading star, well-placed song-and-dance routines and a message gave it "all the elements of a Bollywood blockbuster," he added.

US film studios have been eyeing India's popular Hindi-language film industry for several years, hoping to tap in to an expanding 2.3-billion-dollar market.

Hopes are high that Shahrukh Khan's upcoming film "My Name Is Khan" will match or even eclipse the success of "3 Idiots."

Fox Searchlight, which promoted the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire," and other Fox units are handling distribution.

Adarsh said the overseas market is becoming increasingly important for Bollywood.

"The domestic market has traditionally been measured in rupees. Today it's dollars, pounds, dirham, euros and various other currencies," he said.

"It's not just the Indian diaspora. It's people in Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East. The success of '3 Idiots' is just the tip of the iceberg."

Angelina Jolie Dropped As Face Of St. John Angelina Jolie

2010-01-08T11:00:00.000-08:00

ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT AT MOCA NEW 30th ANNIVERSARY

Angelina Jolie will be having a little less face time in magazines and billboards, now that the actress has been dropped as the face of fashion label St. John.

According to St. John’s chief executive officer Glenn McMahon, the actress’ own celebrity was too much for the label.

“[Jolie] overshadowed the brand,” McMahon told Women’s Wear Daily. “We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”

St. John has selected redhead model Karen Elson to be the face of the fashion house.

“We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John,” McMahon added. “We have evolved.”

She might not be working for St. John anymore, but Angelina will stay busy in 2010 with the release of her next movie, “Salt,” which hits theaters in July.

Tobey Maguire Talks ‘Spider-Man’ Production Delay

2010-01-08T10:52:00.000-08:00

Tobey Maguire doesn’t think “Spider-Man 4” has become a tangled mess.

The 34-year-old star of the web-slinging superhero franchise said preproduction snags aren’t dampening his mood about the fourth installment. The next “Spider-Man” film had been scheduled to swing into theaters May 6, 2011, but that seems unlikely now that “Thor,” another big-screen Marvel superhero adaptation, has hammered out the same release date.

“Like anything, it’s a process,” Maguire said Thursday. “We’re just in the midst of the process. We have a lot of great stuff in terms of story and script. We’re just trying to dial it in and get it ready as quickly as possible. Of course, these movies are a very big undertaking and take a lot more time than a drama or something more straightforward.”

Marvel Studios spokesman Paul Pflug declined to comment on reports that production had stalled amid script revisions.

Maguire, who has played Peter Parker in all three films, said the plan is to still release the movie in 2011, but wasn’t more specific about the date. Whatever happens, he’s enthusiastic about Spidey’s future.

“Not only do I have specific ideas, but the ideas are evolving on the page,” he said. “It’s all happening right now. It’s all sort of coming together. It’s very exciting to me. I think the evolution of the character is really exciting, to be rooted in the history of what we’ve done already and to have a continuity, yet have a progression or evolution.”

After glowing reaction to the first two chapters, critical response to 2007’s “Spider-Man 3” was so-so. Director Sam Raimi was undecided about returning to the franchise after the third movie, but said at the Cannes International Film Festival last year that he didn’t like “thinking about a world where somebody else was making the Peter Parker story.”

Rep: Miley Cyrus To End ‘Hannah Montana’

2010-01-08T10:29:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Miley Cyrus is saying goodbye to her Disney Channel show, “Hannah Montana,” a rep for the starlet confirmed to Access Hollywood.

In news first reported by The New York Post, a rep for Miley confirmed to Access that the show would start shooting it’s fourth and final season on January 18. The rep said the network does not know how many episodes it will shoot or when it would wrap it’s season, but noted there are enough new episodes to air through 2011.

“You never know in this business . . . but right now we’re scheduled to wrap [forever] after shooting this new batch of episodes,” Disney Channel Worldwide’s Adam Bonnett, senior VP of Programming, told the

The plot of the final season will reportedly mirror Miley’s own life, as her character must decided if she is going to leave her secret double life as a pop star in for the life of an everyday teen.

Miley will have a few guest stars in the fourth season of “Hannah Montana.”

According to the paper, Ray Liotta will guest in the fourth-season opener, and “Two and a Half Men” star Angus Young is slated for a future episode.

But could the end of “Hannah Montana” be a sign that the teen starlet is poised to transition into more mature big screen roles?

In October, Miley told Billy Bush for Access Hollywood and “The Billy Bush Show” that she has nothing but gratitude for her time on the Disney series, but that she would like move on to different projects

“I could never say anything bad about it because [that’s] what gave me my start and it has been so amazing. It’s given me the opportunity to grow as an artist,” she said at the time. “It was really a great learning experience. But I definitely am ready to go on and do other things.”

The actress will next bee seen in the coming of age drama, “The Last Song,” adapted from the Nicholas Sparks novel in April and also in a cameo as herself in “Sex and The City 2,” which hits theaters on May 28.

Shahid on the controversial smooch with Genelia!

2010-01-07T09:57:00.000-08:00

By Taran Adarsh Bollywood Hungama News Network

Shahid Kapoor is controversy's favourite child. The latest is, the actor forced his CHANCE PE DANCE director Ken Ghosh to delete the passionate smooch from the film. Reportedly, Shahid felt that it wouldn't be good for his image when he saw the final cut of the film.

"I've stopped reacting to gossip," Shahid tells me. So what's the truth? "The truth is, there's no smooch in the film. It was never conceptualised, hence it was not filmed. It just doesn't exist. As simple as that," Shahid clarifies.

Meanwhile, Shahid has decided against signing any film for the time being. "I am channelizing all my energies on my father's [Pankaj Kapoor] directorial debut. We plan to begin shooting in March. That's the only film I have on hand right now," he says.

Reportedly, the film is inspired from the Tom Cruise starrer TOP GUN. "Well, the only similarity is that I play a naval officer in the film. In the past, Rajesh Khanna and Shah Rukh Khan too had played naval officers, but that doesn't mean they were inspired by TOP GUN. Dad's making a love story, which makes it entirely different from that film," Shahid states.

Movie Review: Raat Gayi, Baat Gayi?

2010-01-07T09:20:00.000-08:00

After almost five years, accomplished actor Saurabh Shukla returns to the director's chair with RAAT GAYI, BAAT GAYI?, a film that's making the right buzz. Making an adult comedy that talks of one night stand is tough. But giving the serious issue a humorous take is tougher.

RAAT GAYI, BAAT GAYI? is about relationships and also looks at the philanderers, who, despite being committed, don't mind having a PYT in a closet, for no strings attached fun.

You may draw parallels with THE HANGOVER because the protagonist can't recall anything that happened the previous night. But it must also be said that the film throws a few surprises, which makes it completely different from any film, past or present.

But there's one factor that throws a spanner. There's not much meat in the story. Also, it unravels at an excruciatingly slow pace. In fact, the wheels start moving only towards the penultimate 20 odd minutes, when the answers start coming.

In a nutshell, RAAT GAYI, BAAT GAYI? offers a few laughs, not laughter unlimited!

Rahul [Rajat Kapoor] wakes up with a bad hangover after a party the night before. There, he had met a sexy young woman Sophia [Neha Dhupia]. They got drunk and there were sparks flying. But Rahul doesn't remember what happened after that. Did they go all the way?

His wife Mitali [Irawati Harshe Mayadev] is in a particularly bad mood and Rahul suspects that she might know about his little escapade last night. Rahul starts chasing his night, trying to retrieve it, trying to find out what really happened.

His friends Saxena [Dalip Tahil] and Amit [Vinay Pathak] are going through their own marital crisis of sorts. Driven to his wits end, he realizes that he must meet Sophia again to get the answers.

Almost three decades ago, Basu Chatterjee made an adult comedy called SHAUKEEN, which told the story of three men who eye a pretty girl, who's completely oblivious of their intentions. In this film too, director Saurabh Shukla looks at three men with a roving eye.

Sadly, the screenplay [writers: Saurabh Shukla and Rajat Kapoor] falls woefully short in terms of generating interest. In fact, till three-fourths of the movie, there's not much movement in the story, except for a few humour-laden sequences. It also moves lethargically and is unnecessarily slack.

Ankur Tewari's music is strictly functional. Fuwad Khan's cinematography captures the varied moods well.

The film scores in the performance department. Every member of the cast - Neha Dhupia, Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Dalip Tahil, Irawati Harshe Mayadev, Anu Menon, Navniit Nisshan and Aamir Bashir - deliver fine performances. Especially Rajat and Vinay. Ranvir Shorey, Makrand Deshpande and Sudhir Mishra appear in cameos.

On the whole, RAAT GAYI, BAAT GAYI? doesn't work.

Spider-Man 4 delay could have Hollywood ripple effect

2010-01-06T12:29:00.000-08:00

Spider-Man 4, potentially the biggest movie of next year, is caught in a web of script problems and probably won't make its scheduled release in May 2011, Hollywood blogger Nikki Finke reports.

The delay could have a ripple effect on all other summer 2011 releases, forcing other studios to change their movie opening dates.

Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily blog broke the news Monday that the latest instalment of Sam Raimi's lucrative Spider-Man franchise has already gone through three screenwriters and nobody is satisfied with the results. Raimi reportedly "hated" the most recent draft he saw.

The production, once again starring Tobey Maguire as the web-slinging comic book hero and Kirsten Dunst as his love Mary Jane, was supposed to go before the cameras as early as next month, aiming toward the May 6, 2011, release date officially announced by Sony Pictures (although Finke said release dates of either May 5 or May 11 were planned).

The production is currently on hiatus with no start date for filming announced.

The first and third Spider-Man films opened in early May; Spider-Man 2 opened in June. More than just a good omen, Sony considers an early summer opening essential for maximum profits, and with good reason: Worldwide franchise earnings to date total nearly $2.5 billion (U.S.), putting Spider-Man among the most successful series in movie history.

The script problems are serious enough that no date in May 2011 is now likely possible, Finke said, and Sony might instead move the picture to a July 2011 opening. This would have ramifications for the entire summer release schedule for all Hollywood studios, which plan their releases around "tent-pole" openings like Spider-Man 4.

Finke also said that while John Malkovich is still on board to play the villain Vulture in Spider-Man 4, another role planned for Anne Hathaway is in jeopardy because "she'd cost too much."

Deadline Hollywood Daily is often first to break industry news, with Finke crowing "toldja!" every time one of her scoops pans out, as they often do.

No one from Sony could be reach for comment Tuesday, but Finke quoted a statement reportedly made by Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal: "I'm going to do everything I can to make May (for Spider-Man 4). But I'm not going to start a movie where the script isn't right yet. Not unless I want my career to be over."
