If Hollywood has Jennifer Lopez, we have Caterina Lopez!!

Tweet

The influx of foreign beauties into Bollywood continues with a greater fervor than ever as the popularity of item numbers reaches greater heights- all thanks to the glam quotient imparted by Munni and Sheila last year. So, this year we have Jennifer Lopez’s cousin sister Caterina Lopez, making her Bollywood debut with a raunchy item song in director Ankush Bhatt’s film Bhindi Bazaar Inc.
Talking about her experience in Bollywood, Caterina says, “It was not easy learning the whole Bollywood style of dancing because it’s very different. It’s a different ball game altogether. Learning the song was also very tough but once I got a hang of it, it became better. Honestly I think I did a good job.”

Caterina is alien to the language here but no where in the song has she missed the lip sync. She hopes for a career in Bollywood and is planning to learn Hindi soon.
“I’m still struggling with the language. Here and there I’ve learned a few words, but I’m definitely planning to get a teacher and learn Hindi completely,” she added.
The song has Caterina draped in a sexy sari and a skimpy blouse. Caterina has SRK as her favorite actor and she candidly confesses that she has once had a crush on him but the gal choses to stay mum on her relationship with Jlo.

Playboy cover girl, Candice Boucher, to step into Bollywood

Tweet

Well, this is for the first time that a Playboy Covergirl will step into Bollywood. Talking about South African beauty, Candice Boucher, who appeared on the covers of ‘Playboy’ April 2010 issue, the girl will be making her debut as a sand artist in director Prashant Chadha’s ‘Aazaan’. Chadha had made his directorial debut with the Himesh Reshammiyaa-starrer ‘Aap Ka Surroor’
The film will have the South African bombshell paired opposite yet another debutant Sachiin Joshi. Sachiin may be yet to make his debut but he does have strong Bollywood connections.
‘Aazaan’ is an international espionage film about an informant who has to go undercover beyond enemy lines to save the nation from destruction by biological warfare.
“I never imagined myself in a Bollywood film but now I’m looking forward to its premiere. I love your country and I want to see a lot of India,” Candice said.
“While scripting the film, I felt that Candice would make the perfect mystery miss. Given that she’s a Playboy covergirl, the instant connect is, ‘She must be hot.’ She is but there’s also a certain vulnerability that makes her more appealing,” said Chadha, who is all praises for this hot body.

Having designed costumes for movies like Black (2005), Baabul (2006) , Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007), Paa (2009), Raavan (2010) and Guzaarish (2010), apart from his line of clothing under his brand name, Sabyasachi Mukherjee is a name well-known in the tinsel town. Now, the designer has decided to step into some real action by stepping into the field of direction as he finishes with the script.
Mukherjee says, “I have completed my script with all the finishing touches. And I am very satisfied with the outcome. The only problem is that I have been too busy with my other fashion-related assignments to take up the film.
Whenever I decide to start filming, I will approach Vidya and Rani for the parts. And fortunately, I share very special equations with both of them. And I know I can always bank on their support. We understand each others’ sensibilities very well.”
Mukherjee is at present busy with quite a few fashion shows including the finale at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in Delhi. He says, “You can understand what my state of mind will be right now. I am running around trying to come up with impressive and different collections for both the fashion weeks.”

Ranbir Kapoor & Katrina Kaif to romance as the warrior & princess

Tweet

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif created sparks with their superb on-screen chemistry in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ and ‘Rajneeti’. Their off-screen romance has also been a favorite among gossip columns. The two are going to team up once again, this time for Rajamouli’s remake of Telugu original Magadheera. The original flick had Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal as the lead pair. The film will be produced by Madhu Mantena (producer of Ghajini) and so, it was very obvious when Aamir Khan’s name stood up as the first choice, followed by Hrithik Roshan and then Shahid Kapoor, and finally zeroing in on Ranbir Kapoor.
For the movie, Ranbir will have to undergo rigorous physical training to get in shape as the storyline of the film is about a warrior who protects the princess of his kingdom, only to be killed and born again 400 years later to take his revenge. It’s essentially a love story between the warrior and the princess.

Salman Khan performs a daring stunt for Mountain Dew

‘Dabangg’ star Salman Khan recently proved that he is indeed ‘Dabangg’ when he performed a daredevil stunt in PepsiCo`s new Mountain Dew ad, thus proving that he was indeed the apt celebrity choice by the brand. He jumped off from 10,000 feet in a “wingsuit” from which a parachute springs open. The 45-second TV commercial will air from Friday and a 60-second commercial will be shown in theatres.
“Everyone is afraid of something or the other at some point of his or her life. But if you try to run away from fear, you`d be tired and eventually fear will win. So the best way to overcome fear is to face it, run through it because `Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai`,” Salman said in a statement.
Alpana Titus, category marketing director (flavoured carbonated drinks), PepsiCo India Beverages, says, “Salman has jumped from a mountain which was 10,000 feet high. He did have jitters initially but was confident it would work out well and he would be able to overcome his fears in turn,” she said.
“Salman was our first choice because he embodies our (Mountain Dew`s) tagline `Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai` accurately and he also has a nationwide fan following. People in not only the metros but also the remote areas follow him,” she added.

Kareena keeps her cool though Priyanka makes her wait for hours

Tweet

Saif Ali Khan’s love and attention has surely toned down the temper and attitude of Bollywood’s fashion diva Kareena Kapoor. We got a hint of this, when Bebo was made to wait for hours by Priyanka Chopra, but all it could spark out of Bebo was a sour smile.
It all happened on Friday evening when Kareena drove down all the way from Pune to Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai for shooting her televised act for an award ceremony, only to find that the stage had been occupied by Priyanka Chopra. When Piggie Chops saw Bebo, she walked upto her and told her that she could not give the stage until 1 am (although Kareena was assigned the stage at 12 am).
Bebo was ready with make-up and hair. So, she waited patiently for sometime. However, PC continued to rehearse till 4 am, and by that time, the exhausted Kareena had left for home.
The next morning, Kareena asked her manager Zahid to cancel the shooting (with Salman for Bodyguard), which was scheduled on Saturday in Pune and then came back to the studio to finish her song.
This would normally have ignited some heated verbal spats from Kareena but this time, the lady kept her cool and later called up the organizers to complain of the inconvenience caused by their mismanagement. They explained it to her that because of some technical problems, Priyanka’s act took a longer time.
PC’s spokesperson said, “Priyanka was not aware that Bebo had to wait for hours. Not that I am aware of. Priyanka had a long act with many changes.”
