Wind from the woods

 

 

Plain desperate?

Twenty-four-year-old actress and pop star Mandy Moore made it big during her teens with her music and is now to co-host a charitable show to raise funds for fighting cancer at the popular Beverly Hill boutique Kitson along with, the current teen diva, Hillary Duff. So, is she still a favourite with the teens, or is it the lack of any exceptional work after “A walk to Remember” that’s making her work for charity? Who’s that guy?

The “Jab We Met” actor Shahid Kapur is lying low these days, and is getting ready to surprise the world with his all new look, which he is sporting for the movie “Kaminay”. It isn’t just the new hairdo that he’s keeping from the public’s sight, but also his tanned body for which he has been regularly sun bathing. Well, many years ago people had predicted that he would become the next SRK of the industry, and this could well be the beginning! The patriot

Actress Kim Sharma can be recalled for two reasons – Bollywood blockbuster “Mohabbatein” and ex-boyfriend Yuvraj Singh! The lady has finally more reasons to be in the limelight, not because of her upcoming comedy movies, “Loot” and “Daddy Cool” but because of wearing the national flag upside down at the recent Peace Protest March held at the Gateway of India. Once again, the 28-year-old has grabbed attention for all the wrong reasons! Hijacking hopes

Though Kaveri Jha’s Hindi film “Hijack” flopped at the box office, it has been heard that the actress is doing great in Tollywood. While her three movies are up for back-to-back release soon, she has been predicted to be the next super sexy star after Deepika Padukone. However, chances of making it big could be bleak for Kaveri, considering a latest incident. Recently, in her attire of a farm lady during a shooting in Ooty (with loads of make-up on), she was mistaken for a real worker and was rebuked by the farm supervisor for loitering during work hours! Ahem, all we ask is, could workers in farms be anything like Deepika? Naïve Pattinson

The “Twilight” star, Robert Pattinson is in the limelight with his latest movie raking in great reviews and moolah (93 million pounds in 17 days). Though fame had knocked at his door much earlier, when he was declared the ‘British Star of Tomorrow’ in 2005 by Times Online for his supporting performance in “Harry Potter”, he isn’t used to the frenzy of fans. So while he thinks that the girls screaming around him have been paid to do so, the 22-year-old lad wouldn’t be able to even imagine how many more have fallen for this artless reaction of his! Life in disarray?

The "Sweet Home Alabama" star, Reese Witherspoon, had been busy promoting her upcoming movie “Four Christmases” for some time now. And, that allowed the 32-year-old star very little time to spend at home with her kids and to devote to her favourite chore of organising her home, which may involve spending as long as three hours to just clean a cupboard! Well, after turning down a marriage proposal from boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal thrice (in March, July, and October of this busy year), it's quite possible that the next time she’s free, she'll sit down to organise her life! Who’s the better judge?

It’s not common to see superstars from different generations competing with each other in Bollywood, but Sony TV has somehow triggered a battle between the current siren Bipasha Basu and the ever-lovable Juhi Chawla. The channel approached the two stars to judge its show “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa” and offered a whooping 2.5 crores, and apparently both the stars have shown interest. Well, given that the dance show needs more glamour and sizzle than cute and bubbly charm, we’d place our money on Bips to get the contract!
