Aamir Khan & Shahrukh Khan Friends Forever


Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are friends again. The rumors were that Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan the biggest rivals of each other. Recently, Aamir Khan apologized to Shah Rukh Khan. Aamir Khan’s fault was to call his wife Kiran as “KKKK…..Kiran” in front of media. This is a famous dialogue by Shah Rukh Khan in the famous movie “Darr” in 1993.

This offended Shah Rukh Khan and said that he did not get angry or hurt. Shah Rukh Khan said that he will personally talk and sort out their problems. Aamir realized that he has done something wrong and did not waste any time.Aamir Khan apologized to Shah Rukh Khan’s children. Not to Shah Rukh Khan but to his kids! Shah Rukh said that he did not have to apologize to him. Now Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are friends again. They are mostly seen together these days. Either Aamir Khan is visiting Shah Rukh’s house or the opposite. The two Khans blamed the media to make this trivial thing to a big issue between the two.

Aamir Khan said while working with Rajkumar Hirani’s “3 idiots” that the three Khans are the “3 idiots”. The three Khans are Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Now they have sorted out all their problems and Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are friends again. Next is what? Shah Rukh Khan is sorting out with Salman Khan?

Hrithik Roshan : The Indian Superman is coming back With Krish 2

The magic of the Indian Superman is going to be back with Krish 2.The film is obviously going to be made by Rakesh Roshan and the lead to be played by Hrithik Roshan.

However, the leading lady is not going to be Priyanka Chopra. Even Katrina Kaif who had been approached could not be finalized due to her commitment with the Dostana 2 project as the dates for both the shooting schedule are clashing.

So finally it is Deepika Padukone who is on the project and reportedly the shooting has taken off with a big bang.

Speaking of Krish, we have seen the jungle boy jumping from one tree to another rather like Tarzan, in the first half turning into a suave young modern happening character in the other half, which turned out to be a great idea for a hit movie.

It remains to be seen what new turns and twists take place in the sequel so as to make it an interesting movie to watch. Considering the father son’s combined efforts in the earlier ventures like Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Koi Mil Gaya,

Krish it is surely going to be one super duper movie to watch.

The only factor is that the leading ladies like Amisha Patel, Priety Zinta,and Priyanka Chopra are not there so what remains to be seen is the chemistry between the two leading actors.

"Avatar," one of the most expensive films

At a cost of about $400 million to make and market "Avatar," the Oscar-winning director of "Titanic" has created a lush world of dense forest, floating mountains and tremendous creatures in a computer-generated spectacular that transforms much of the cast into giant, blue-skinned humanoids.

The movie, which premiered in London on Thursday and begins landing in theaters worldwide next week, represents a huge risk for the 20th Century Fox studio that backed it and is being watched closely in Hollywood for its impact on the future of movies, special effects and expansion of new 3D technology.

"It's absolutely cinema, but I think cinema redefines itself every few years with new techniques," Cameron told reporters in Paris before the film's launch.

Beyond dazzling audiences with visual effects that plunge the viewer onto the planet Pandora 4.4 light years from Earth, "Avatar" provides a familiar mix of romance, action movie thrills and an old-fashioned battle between good and evil.

"The more fantastic the subject ... the more recognizable and universal, the relationships and people need to be," Cameron said.

"Avatar" shows the forest-dwelling Na'vi fighting for survival against a rapacious colonial mining operation bent on moving them away and stripping their planet.

A crippled ex-Marine is chosen to make contact with the mysterious people as an avatar, a remotely controlled body, which allows him to move freely in the alien world where he falls in love with a Na'vi princess.

What makes "Avatar" stand out, however, is the appearance of its three-dimensional forest scenery and the seamless interaction of the human cast with the animated world.

Rigging his actors with specially developed cameras to register every gesture and facial expression as they moved about a bare stage, Cameron and his technical team blended their images into the computer-generated world of Pandora.

"The science fiction of the technology was more science fiction than the story," said Sigourney Weaver, star of Cameron's film "Aliens," who plays a scientist in "Avatar."

"You're aware that a lot of work is going on around you, but you, the actor, just have the responsibility of being in the moment and being in the world," she said.

Cameron, who created many of the special effects with "Lord of The Rings" director Peter Jackson's studio WETA Digital, said the most daunting problem was to ensure the effects did not overwhelm the film and disconnect audiences from the story.

But in Hollywood, performances matter less than results at the box office, and the film industry is closely watching "Avatar" for its impact on film costs and the expanding of 3D technology.

For Fox, a unit of News Corp, the movie represents a huge risk because typically big-budget movies have a fan base from books or other material, like the "Harry Potter" movies.

"Avatar" has no built-in audience, and its effects are costly. A Fox spokesman said it required $237 million to make and $150 million to promote.

When Cameron made "Titanic" for Fox, he drew sharp criticism for its high cost, but the 1997 film made $1.8 billion at global box offices and remains the highest-grossing film of all time.

Last month, Fox studio boss Jim Gianopulos told Reuters he had "no doubt" of making a profit.

If "Avatar" is a big success in 3D, industry watchers expect more theaters to install the new technology quickly and more directors to make movies in the medium.

Early reviews are strong. Show business newspaper The Hollywood Reporter called it a "jaw-dropping wonder."

Rihanna wants to have sex with Megan Fox

Rihanna has confessed that she is attracted to both men and women.

The Barbadian singer also admitted that she would like to do a lesbian scene with Megan Fox.

“All humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl”.

The Disturbia hitmaker said she would like to play out her bisexual assassin on her movie debut.

She added: “I’d love to be an assassin – either that or a lesbian. Maybe both!

“Hey, a gay assassin, there’s nothing hotter than that.

“Megan Fox would play my girlfriend - hands down. She’s yummy. She’s hot.”

At present, Rihanna is busy promoting her new album Rated R.

Megan Fox will be celebrating the Christmas Eve with her boyfriend

Someone is hell bent that she will be celebrating the day, the Christmas Eve with her boyfriend! But that someone’s boyfriend isn’t so keen! Well you guys must be thinking what am I up to? Well let’s not confuse you with my statements. Brian Austin Green, the actor whom Megan is dating since 2003 is not keen enough to give Megan time! And this is what pissing Megan off and in reaction to that she is fighting hard with her boyfriend! Woohh!

A source is quoted by website Absolute Now as saying: “Basically, Megan wanted it all her way with Brian joining her and her friends and family for the holiday but Brian isn’t so keen.

“He is very loyal to his family and thought they would at least share the holidays between the two. It’s all ended in another tiff which means they probably won’t see each other at all over Christmas.”(www.chinadaily.com)

Oh no! This is truly sad for the actress as everyone who’s into a relationship wants to spend time with his loved ones during Christmas! It’s really unfortunate that the actress won’t get that opportunity! But we wonder what is so very important that is stopping Brian from planning dates with her Girl! After all its Christmas time dude! Don’t upset your lady!

The lifetime achievement awards will also be handed out to Leonard Cohen, Bobby Darin, Loretta Lynn, Clark Terry, Dave Edwards and Andre Previn on January 30, a day before the main awards ceremony.

Happy birthday to Rajinikanth


Superstar Rajinikanth turns 60 today (December 12). We at sify.com wish him all the best. So what’s the superstar doing on his birthday?

The star who normally escapes from the fanfare and hysteria whipped up by his fans in Chennai, to unknown Himalayan destinations for solitude and introspection is this time very much at home.

As usual he is avoiding the media and fan frenzy and keeping a low profile. The buzz is that he will be locked up at his new Mahavatar Babaji Ashram that he has built near Chengalpet and celebrating the birthday in total solitude.

His family and close friends have organized a Shashitabadapoorthi puja (60th birthday celebrations) at the famous Tirukkadiyur temple near Tiruchi.

Individual fans and artist who are close to him like Lawrence and director SP Muthuraman are conducting their own “feeding the poor” programmes at Choolaimedu.

Earlier on Friday, Rajinikanth launched a book written by one of his fans Kundrathur Raju, at his Poes Garden residence.

As the Boss steps into his 60th year he is still the ‘numero uno’ star of Kollywood. 2010 will be a significant year as his Endhiran- The Robot is set to release.

Tiger Wood’s ‘mistress’ Jaime Grubbs ‘dated’ George Clooney


Jaime Grubbs, a former cocktail waitress who claims she had a 31-month affair with Tiger Woods, is being romantically linked to George Clooney.

According to US Weekly magazine, the 24-year-old dated the heartthrob actor as recently as two months ago.

“The two had been seen out together in public long before the Tiger Woods scandal but because nobody knew who Jaimee was at the time, nobody really made a note of it,”.

“All of her friends knew they were hooking up,” the friend added.

"I know him," was the coy reply Grubbs gave the mag when asked if she dated Clooney. However, a rep for the actor has strongly denied the story, saying he never met Grubbs.

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler for Pretend Wife

Columbia Pictures hasve landed themselves a romantic comedy and have it in mind to have Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston co-star.

Most likely directed by Sandler's buddy Dennis Dugan off a script by Allan Loeb and Tim Dowling, Pretend Wife will server as a starring vehicle for Sandler, who has only just begun to seek out the rest of the cast through his Happy Madison banner. First on negotiation on the table is Jennifer Aniston, who we're assuming is the "pretend wife."

When it comes to the plot, Columbia isn't saying much, though we do know that the project was originally titled Holiday in Hawaii; whatever help that might give. Production is expected to begin early next year with the film scheduled to hit theaters on February 11, 2011.

Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor together in "Sangini

With the recent flop of Kurbaan, the advertiser is turning their face off from Saifeena it seems! Well the news is that our very own Sallu and Bebo is coming together in an ad for a jewellery collection named ‘Sangini’ that caters to both men and women! But with all of our astonishment we won’t find Saif Ali Khan in it!

Sallu seems the obvious choice when you consider his fetish for amulets and bracelets. Sallu and Bebo will be seen celebrating festive occasions like Christmas and New Year with the brand’s stunning jewellery pieces adorning the superstar pair.(apunkachoice.com)

Saif must be disheartened with this fact. Kurbaan in real life with no Saif beside her it seems!

We just have to wait and see how this Main aur Mrs. Khanna duo go about with the ad and attracts the viewer’s attention.

Shahrukh Khan some people just never get old

It has been a long twenty years ago that ShahRukh Khan had been seen in the role of the soldier called Abhimanyu Rai. Now there is news flying high about him coming back as the daring army man in the same serial Fauji.It was with this serial in Doordarshan that the versatile actor had gained recognition and accolades for his acting potential.

As he became a household name in those days of new serials, he got a wonderful break in the movies with the actress Juhi Chawla in the movie Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. The film was a stupendous success. After that there was no looking back for ShahRukh.

As he climbed the ladder to success with superb movies like Deewangi, Baazigar, Daar, Anjaam etc he was very much in demand in spite of doing negative characters in many of these films.

Gradually he reached the highest rung in the league of romantic heroes. Then, came a series of hit films like Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jayeinge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Kal Ho Na Ho, Main Hun Na, Baadshah and Chalte Chalte to name just a few.

After establishing himself as the King in bollywood he again ventured out into television following the footsteps of Amitabh Bachchan.

The Kaun Banega Crorepati hit show on television hosted by Big B in the first season was carried forward by our King Khan. Even that proved to be a hit with the audience. Then came another show ontelevision called Paachvi Paas, this had mixed responses. But now as he is all set to come back in his original avatar on television as a brave soldier everyone is eager to see him.

We guess, some people just never get old, and especially if it’s someone like ShahRukh, then no one really minds.

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long seriously in love

It looks like Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are getting serious about each other.

Long made some quick moves to show his support for his ladylove when a scheduling conflict landed both of their premieres (he is in the upcoming Serious Moonlight and she is in Everybody's Fine).

After Long walked the red carpet for his flick at Cinema 2 on the upper East Side with co-star Meg Ryan, the bubbly blond asked the actor if he was coming with her inside the theatre.

However, Justin whispered to her: "I'm being Mr. Hollywood tonight...I have another premiere to go to!"

Shortly after that, spies further downtown at the Loews Union Square, where Barrymore’s premiere was taking place, saw Long sneak in.

Later, the couple later stopped by the Tribeca Film Institute's fete for Everybody's Fine at Tavern on The Green, where they hung with Justin's good pal and Drew's co-star Sam Rockwell, while Justin's cast feted their flick without him further East at a SKYY party at Rogue Tomate. "They looked very happy. It definitely seems serious," the New York Daily News quoted one partygoer as saying.

Top 10 best paid person of Hollywood

Will Smith takes the crown of the highest and best paid actor of Hollywood, by making his earning estimated as $80 million over the course of the year. He is also called as the hardest-working man in Hollywood.








The second place is taken by Johnny Depp, who reached even eastern country audiences by his movie Pirates of the Caribbean
. He is well known for his comedy too. His take home of this year is estimated as $72 million.
 
With $55 million, Eddie Murphy wins the third place. He turned as one of my favorite after the movie Shrek, where he gave voice to the character Donkey. Three cheers to donkey. Oops sorry, to Eddie.







Another favorite from the movie Shrek, took the fourth place. Though he had a tie
with Eddie Murphy for third place, the failure of his summer comedy “The Love Guru” failed to hit the box office and placed him in fourth place. An Ogre made him famous.








The first actress to enter the top paid list of this year is Cameron Diaz, who achieved this through her voice in Shrek. She falls in $45-$50 million take home category.

Titanic hit Leonardo DiCaprio managed to get into the top five, by making $45 million during the year. Though his flicks are rarely blockbusters, most of them knock the award academies doors.



With $41 million, Bruce Willis made his way to get sixth place in the top earners of Hollywood. Though he was lagging a little in the beginning, 2008 made him to come back.








The take home of $40 million made Ben to take the seventh piece of the cake
. He is one of the well paid actor for his comedies and funny acts.









His most expensive role “National Treasure, Book
of Secrets” brought him this place, though he is not making much hits now a days.









The next actress to enter the best paid person of Hollywood’s list is Keira Knightley with a paycheck of $32 million. She got this place because of the same movie, which placed Johnny Depp in second place, “Pirates of the Caribbean”.








Last of my list, the person who took the last piece of the winners cake is Will Ferrell. He is one hilarious person, who is well known for his funny actions. His take home of the year was $31 million.

Started with Will Smith, the list ended with Will Ferrell. It shows their will power. We people can at least read their paycheck details to keep us working and motivated, during this recession period. Good luck to get your paycheck of this month, without any failure.
