Hot pics - Upen Patel and Deepika Padukone

Suddenly, all the entertainment world seems to be flooded by steamy pictures of Deepika Padukone with Upen Patel. These pictures, which are apparently some three years old had been taken as a part of some photoshoot. The question here is: Why are they all over the net now? It could be some prank from a naughty mind. Some also blame Upen for it saying that since Deepika is a hot property now, he has deliberately released these pics as a part of cheap publicity and to revive the rumours of him and Deepika.

Says a source close to Deepika, “Why are these pictures coming out now? After three years? Right now Deepika is hot property; it can’t be a co-incidence that these pictures are suddenly popping up in everyone’s mailboxes.”

Upen has defended the allegations by being blissfully aware, “The pictures are something from the past. I don’t even remember them, if you know what I mean. I did some photo shoot with her for Wendell many years ago. Who ever is behind spreading these pictures has an agenda to spoil my image in the public eye but I am not at fault here.”

Whoever may be at fault, you guys treat your eyes with some hot pics of a hot chick with a hot model.

Akshay Kumar to host ‘Fear Factor II’

If you remember and crave for more of chill-giving desi-version of ‘’ on Sony TV hosted by Mukul Dev, this is the one for you. The Bollywood king of stunts and martial arts, Akshay Kumar, is set to host the second season of this popular

We also hear that Akshay is getting bigger bucks than even SRK for this. The little birdie says that Akshay will be paid Rs 1.5 crore per episode, which is more than what SRK is getting for ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain?’ The show will have Bollywood actresses as participants. Akki is definitely the most suitable choice for this show as he himself will be showing his hand at stunts before he goads the contestants to overcome their fears.

To be known that Akshay has already hosted a martial arts show ‘Seven Deadly Arts’ for National Geographic, though it was a long four years back.The seven-part series took viewers on a journey through the world of martial arts.

Kunal Shivdasani all praises for Esha Deol

Though not lacking in talents and oomph factor, Esha Deol has not yet marked her foothold in the industry. In spite of quite a few good flicks to her credit including ‘Dhoom’, ‘Cash’, ‘No Entry’, ‘Darling’ and others, the actress is still not the favorite of the directors.

The things may change this season for the gal. Esha is pinning all her hopes on Kunal Shivdasani directed film, ‘Hijack’ where she plays an air hostess. The film is basically a high energy action entertainer with a huge mystery element to it. The film also has Shiney Ahuja and newcomer Kaveri with her.

Kunal is all but praises for Esha’s performance, “She has given an outstanding performance and I believe that this is surely an award winning performance too”.

Talking more about Esha and her role, Kunal reveals, “I wanted someone who could look convincing as an air-hostess. The moment I met her, I knew she was the right face and body for the role. And to think of it, she is covered from top to bottom throughout the film. It needs some conviction from an actor coming from hardcore commercial background to be willing to be seen in only one costume throughout the film’s length.”

With Kunal and Esha, we too are waiting for some high voltage electric performance from Esha Deol!

Kya Shahid and Kareena Phir Milenge?

If you thought you would never be able to see the cute Shahid-Kareena pair again, there is something for you. Their delayed and almost shelved project ‘Milenge Milenge’ inspired by Hollywood’s romantic flick ‘Serendipity’ has revived again and Shahid has already started dubbing for the film. The film was supposed to release on this year’s valentines day but then….

Director Satish Kaushik confirmed the news saying, “He (Shahid) has already started dubbing for the film. Kareena will dub as soon as she returns from her overseas trip. Yes, the film does have elements of Serendipity.”

The movie had been shot even before ‘Jab We Met’ and just when everyone thought that it has been completely shelved, Boney Kapoor, the film’s producer, got Shahid and Kareena to spare a few days to dub for the film. However, since the film has been shot three years back you will get to see a fuller (read plumper) Kareena and a cuter (read kiddish) Shahid.

Shilpa Shetty shakes it for ‘Dostana’

Though Shilpa Shetty, these days, is not on the silver screen as much as her admirers would like her to be, still things are at a move on her professional front. The actress would be seen doing a ‘special song‘ in Dharma Productions’ ‘Dostana’ starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. The song is being shot at present in Miami.

Shilpa’s spokeman, Dale Bhagwagar, confirmed the news saying, “Yes, Shilpa is currently shooting in Miami along with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham for a really special song for the film Dostana. I wouldn’t really call it an item number. However, the song is indeed going to be one hell of a sensational chartbuster. Let me put it this way, if she won over the nation with her U.P- Bihar song you can expect her to win a reasonable part of the world with this song.”

Besides this, Shilpa is also going to appear in Vijeta Films’ ‘The Man’ opposite Sunny Deol. She is also set to appear in the international flick ‘Hanuman’ where she plays Sita. She is also going to play one of the heroines in a comedy flick under her home production S2 Global Productions.

Sridevi - Once a gold is always a gold

There could not have been a better camera comeback for the ‘Chandni’ girl than to shashay down the ramp with a majestic gait all draped in a golden gown for designer duo Priya and Chintan. She had all support from her hubby dearest, Boney Kapoor, and kids who sat in the front row clicking at her. Golden is incidentally Sridevi’s favorite colour.

BTW, also check out gorgeous Dia Mirza who walked the ramp for designer Arshiya Fakih Eappen on the final day at LFW. The actress wore an emerald green satin tube dress with an embellished empire line and walked quite like a pro, unlike a Bollywood babe. Also, an equally delicious eye candy was Yana Gupta for Wendell Rodricks.

Preity Zinta injured at IPL launch

The Indian Premier League’s Mohali T20 cricket team, headed by Yuvraj Singh, had a formal launch party on Tuesday in the outskirts of Chandigarh. But the launch, however, did not seem to be an all exciting event for the team Owner, Preity Zinta, for the lady suffered an injury in her eye during the event.

“I don’t know how it happened,” says Preity. “But in the melee at the launch an elbow came and hit me straight in the eye. I had to go through the event with a black eye wearing dark glasses.”

Some eye witnesses quote that there was a major rush at the event and someone probably threw something at Preity. She was hurt in her eye when one of her bodyguards tried to catch the object and his elbow hit her. After the event Preity spent the entire evening nursing her eye with ice packs.

Kangana Ranaut walks the ramp for N. Kumar Ahmed

There could not be more star attraction at any fashion event. First, it was Bollywood’s latest Casanova and ramps’ debutante Ranbir Kapoor for Arjun Khanna, then it was child superstar Darsheel Safari walk in style with Neeta Lulla and the latest one is Kangana Ranaut who set the ramp afire with her dazzling beauty as she took stage for designer Narendra Kumar Ahmed.

With her trademark curls, Kangana walked the ramp dressed in an off-shoulder embroidered top with a bright reddish-maroon skirt. With the kind of cheering and response she got from the crowd, one can definitely say that Madhur Bhandarkar has adequately trained the lady in ‘Fashion’.

SRK and Rakhi Sawant - Jodi No.1?

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for his unconventional experimental moves, but this one is steps far ahead of his previous ones. Get ready to digest this indigestible one…. SLB has teamed two vastly different actors, SRK and Rakhi Sawant, for the lead pair in his next venture.

Confirming this, a source close to the director says, “It is going to be an out and out romantic film. Sanjay wants to recreate the magic of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam with this one.” But why such an unlikely pairing? Says the source, “Sanjay is such a great director that you can never doubt his talent and insight. He is not afraid to try out things that others won’t even dream of. So, there must be solid logic behind his decision.”

All the critics have mixed opinions about the fact that pairing Rakhi with SRK is a wise judgement or just a shock factor to arouse curiosity. As for us, we are all awaiting with baited breath for a powerhouse performance from Rakhi under the influence of King Khan.
