Busted: Fake Salman Khan

A youth named Intakhawab Alam, a resident of Rehmatnagar in Rander, was arrested by ATS officials after conducting a raid yesterday. He was later produced before a local court, which remanded him to four days police custody, ATS sources said today.

 

Alam had created a website under the name of Bollywood actor Salman Khan and used to send messages to fans and asked for their comments and opinions on articles written on the site.

 

''To make his website look realistic, he created a separate web-page 'I love my fans. This is my mobile number'. He even talked with his fans on the phone to impress them. To collect money, he created a fake charitable trust and pasted ads on the website, '' G L Singhal, DGP of ATS Gandhinagar, said.

 

He said one woman from London donated Rs 1.5 lakh to his trust through internet and added that his uncle Zakirullah Sheikh was allegedly involved in planting of bombs in Surat in July 2008.

 

A case has been registered against Alam under section 66 B and C of Information Act.

Mugdha Godse Stops The Show!

The eyes of the fashion world have already been pleasantly impressed by the innovation and leading edge presentation at the first day of the Bangalore Fashion Week. Swapnil Shinde’s magnificently avant-garde gothic collection made the audience perch on the edge of their seats and when Mugdha Godse appeared in a clinging full-length velvet and lace dress with silk lace sleeves, they nearly fell off. Swapnil says he enjoyed playing with the gothic influences, “But at the same time I had to make sure that it was wearable, and it wasn’t too over the edge and extremely crazy.”

 

Mugdha recently attended the Pune International Film Festival, which proved very nostalgic for her as she’d spent a fair bit of her childhood there. She was able to recreate some of the walks she’d taken with her father. "Mugdha enjoys taking walks with her father but this time it was a bit different as now she has become a public figure and people started gathering around them so the walk couldn't last for long," said a friend.

 

Mugdha is about to begin work on London Main Kya Hua? - a comedy thriller in the Pink Panther style with British duo Katrina Kaif and Upen Patel; and also a horror film with Bobby Deol which recently took her to thee exotic isle of Mauritius. “We took this glass-bottom boat ride right into the ocean, from where you could see the marine life right beneath your feet,” she says, “I have never seen such a wide variety of fish at one go! It is a must to participate in the water sports like snorkelling in Mauritius. Though I took a snorkeling trip to Marine Park and played with the dolphins, I was too scared to snorkel. But I will the next time, because I plan to go to Mauritius in the near future again.”

John and Bipasha were holidaying in Australia!

John Abraham and Bipasha Basu have been missing from the bustle of Bollywood since last few days. Turns out the love birds were holidaying in Australia.

 

We hear that the trip was originally planned to coincide with Bipasha’s birthday in the first week of January but the busy shooting schedules made it impossible for them to holiday together then.

 

Now, finding a 10-day break in their hectic schedules, Jo-Bi flew off to Sydney and Melbourne where they binged on local food and did adventure sports like snorkeling and Scuba diving.

 

“It was a 10-day holiday without any phones and lots of food. We gorged on all kinds of local food but went out for our workouts too,” Bipasha told a news daily after her arrival back to Mumbai.

Fab Photography: Mango Studios

When M and I were planning our '07 wedding, choosing the right photographer was one of our top priorities.  We wanted candid photos that captured moments not contrived poses, and we wanted to like the people who were going to be following us around that day.  As soon as we met with the team at Mango Studios we knew we'd found the company for us.  Not only do they do gorgeous work, but we loved the coffee table-type wedding albums that are their specialty.  (And the finished product they delivered us really lived up to the hype).  I would highly recommend Mango to any future brides (I know they travel extensively so even if you're not from Toronto they might still be an option for you).  Even if you're not getting married you should check out their site for some lovely wedding and engagement photos to look through.

Mango has also started a new "Shooting for Design" project, with new work promised in February of this year, where they work with interior designers and customers to provide photo art pieces customized for individual spaces.  Below are a sample of the photographs Mango produced for interior designer Moe Razi of Razi Design.

It looks as though the “Pants on the Ground” guy will be getting more than his 10 minutes of fame. “General” Larry Platt performed the song during “American Idol” auditions just a few weeks ago, and just as Simon feared, it has become quite a hit.

Not only has he been on “The View”, performed for the Minnesota Vikings, and done interviews all over television, he is now reportedly performing at the Grammys! According to TMZ, the “General” will perform his catchy new tune right before the awards show.

On the down side, he will not actually be staying to watch the show. But hey, one step at a time “General”!

Katrina Kaif need to expose!

Katrina Kaif donned a bikini for her first film Boom, but with success she has never felt the need to expose. Now, she is all set to scorch the silver screen with her sexy avatar in ‘Dostana 2’.

 

Dostana was a fun-filled movie that was high on style-o-meter. Remember Priyanka Chopra strutting her stuff on sun-kissed beaches of Miami wearing a golden swimsuit. Well, the makers have similar plans for ‘Dostana 2’. A source tells a tabloid, “Dostana 2 plans to take the fun quotient to another level and also have lots of sex appeal. Katrina has one of the best bodies in the industry and having her sport beach wear will be a huge attraction for the film.”

 

Designer Manish Malhotra will be designing Kat’s swimwear and the first thing he has in mind is her comfort level. Besides donning a bikini, Katrina will have a sexy makeover for the film, and she will dazzle like never before. “She will be seen in clothes that make her look more sexy than cute.”

We ask, does Katrina really need a sexy makeover?

We will all remember J. D. Salinger as the author of “Catcher in the Rye”. The Seattle Post recognizes the Catcher in The Rye to be “one of the most influential novels in modern American literature.

Although his Salinger’s work was highly anticipated, he was a simple man, who separated fame and fortune from the love of his writing. Also in the Seattle Post, Salinger reveals his true work ethic, and his feelings about being in the spotlight. “There is a marvelous peace in not publishing. I like to write. I love to write. But I write for myself and my own pleasure”.


Salinger died today in his home of natural causes.

Creator of Buffy To Work On Glee

The writer and creator of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series has signed on to direct an episode of the first season for Fox's musical TV show Glee. Whedon created Buffy, which was one of the best shows on television. He also created the spin-off series for Buffy, called Angel.

Although his work has included creating a world of demons and monsters, he has had some experience working in music. "Once More With Feeling," was a successful musical episode of Buffy. It was like watching a Broadway production in your living room. He also has his Emmy-winning online musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" under his belt.

Glee has become increasingly popular. It will be exciting to see Joss Whedon's take on this bubblegum sensation.

Minissha Lamba finally made her dream purchase. She bought her first house last month at Andheri’s Raj Classique, which also houses celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Abbas Tyrewala, Satish Kaushik and Shahid Kapoor, all of whom will be Minissha’s neighbours now.

Minissha bought her three-bedroom apartment after looking for a house for six months. She had looked for a place all over Yari Road, Four Bungalows, Versova only to be disappointed. She even thought of giving up in between. She hadn’t even thought of looking in this building because she didn’t believe she’d find a flat for sale. And when she did find it by chance, she fell in love with it straightaway. She thinks it’s important to have a flat of your own when you’re single. She will be doing the interiors of her house herself.

My Life as Liz Brings New Taste to MTV

The simplicity of the show makes me wonder why there aren’t more reality shows like it, instead of the glitzed-up, highly manufactured characters that we're seeing today. Don’t get me wrong, everyone enjoys shows like MTV’s Taking the Stage, which center around a couple cream-of-the-crop art students in Cincinnati, Ohio, but normalcy, in today’s pop culture, seems to be looked down upon so much.

The minimalist filming approach to My Life as Liz is exactly what I wanted to watch. According to MTV News, Liz herself confirms the concept for the show has a little bit of everything.
“The show is kinda like Daria meets Juno-without the whole pregnancy factor — meets 'My So Called Life' meets 'Revenge of the Nerds' meets Freaks and Geeks, said Liz. The show is pretty dead-on when it comes to portraying my life accurately. It's pretty on point."
My Life as Liz couldn't have chosen a better time to come out. Although it may not be the next Jersey Shore or Real World, its simplistic characters and heartfelt plots are sure to bring about avid followers.

NBC Picks Up Conan's Pilot

Less than one week after Conan O’Brien and NBC reached a settlement over the “Tonight Show”, NBC picked up a pilot from O’Brien’s production company, Conaco.

After weeks of trash-talking and uncertainty of O’Briens future at NBC, the two finally came to an agreement. The “Tonight Show” host of only 7 months agreed to leave the network for a settlement of $32.5 million.

It comes as quite a surprise that NBC would pick up Conaco’s pilot after all the jabs it took during O’Brien’s final days as host. The pilot is reportedly an hour-long show featuring a former Supreme Court justice who launches his own legal firm. O'Brien is executive producer along with John Eisendrath. According to The Huffington Post, the pick-up came as a complete surprise to Team Conan - as well to the rest of us!

When asked what brought on his depression, Federline stated, "A number of things between, I mean, everybody knows what happened with me and Brit. I’m not going to say that’s the total cause of it but, I mean, just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression."

Kevin was Britney's back up dancer before he became her husband in 2004. After divorcing Spears in 2006, Federline stopped dancing and started "sitting on the couch all day." Kevin will be competing with other celebrities to see who can drop the most weight.

Drama Between "Idol" Judges Already?

It seems there is already drama stirring up on the set of "American Idol" between Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres. Simon arrived more than 90 minutes late to the first taping of the show, causing Ellen and the other judges to waste their time waiting for the veteran judge.

According to the Sun Times, Ellen was especially irritated due to her very tight schedule. She has already moved had to change her schedule to accommodate “American Idol”, including moving up the taping of her own talk show. With Simon leaving at the end of the season, “Idol” isn’t worried about leaking his bad habits anymore. A source told Pop Eater, "You should expect many more nasty leaks about Simon. The show no longer feels the need to protect him. Simon has been late for years and is baffled that all of a sudden, after he announces he is leaving the show, leaks to the press have started to occur."

Possible replacements for Simon are also beginning to surface. The Sun Times reported that the “Idol” producers want the new judge to have major music industry credibility. Replacements could include Tommy Mottola, Guy Oseary (Madonna’s business partner), and Jimmy Lovine.

Anushka Sharma locks lips with Shahid Kapoor

Actor-turned-director Parmeet Sethi has put in, not one but three intimate lip-locks between the lead pair, Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma for his forthcoming YRF film and according to sources, the kisses are not the brush-of-the-lips type. They are full-on smooches.”

However, initially Anushka was not comfortable with the idea. Parmeet had to do a lot of cajoling. He explained to her in detail how the scene would be shot and how it was important to the story. Once the camera was rolling, Anushka left her inhibitions behind and delivered a smashing scene.

 

But things took an ugly turn when someone from the set captured the smooching scene between Shahid and Anushka on their phone. When Anushka found out she was quite furious. She immediately asked for the cell phones of everyone present on the sets to be checked and the clip to be deleted.

 

The shooting of the film has been completed and the film is in the editing stages. It is for us to wait and watch if the three smooches go unedited in the final print.
