Kim Kardashian: Intuition led to divorce decision

A grim-looking Kim Kardashian said "intuition" led her to end her 72-day-old marriage, insisting in an Australian television interview there was no "right or wrong" way to handle the situation.

The hosts of Australia's "Sunrise" program grilled the 31-year-old reality TV star on how hard she worked to save her brief marriage to pro basketball player Kris Humphries, asking whether she had sought counseling before filing for divorce.

Kardashian, who is in Australia with her sister Khloe to promote a line of handbags, has faced withering criticism since she filed for divorce from Humphries on Monday after just 10 weeks of marriage.

She also said she has not decided what to do with her 20.5-carat engagement ring, or with the gifts she received from her 172 thousand dollar wedding registry.

Deepika invited to promote Olympics!

She is badminton legend Prakash Padukone's daughter and has played the sport at the state level. But Deepika Padukone chose to become an actor instead. Yet, the Om Shanti Om (2007) girl is in huge demand from various institutions to promote sports in India.

It's an open secret that Deepika is the face of the Force India F1 Team. Now, the Sports Development Corporation (SDC) has approached the actor to star in a motivational campaign that is being worked on for the Olympics next year. She has also been offered to become the face of badminton in India.

Apparently, representatives of the board promoting the Olympics believe that Deepika would be perfect for the job because they are looking for a celebrity, that people can look up to. The fact that she has achieved so much at such a young age also doubles up as a motivational factor, as does her positive attitude towards sports and fitness.

Deepika too is believed to be keen to take time out for the motivational campaign that is aimed towards helping India achieve more glory at the 2012 Olympics.

Despite Rs 170cr income, 'RA.One not a hit?'

Eros Entertainment, distributors of Shah Rukh Khan’s RA.One, claims that the superhero film has grossed over Rs 170 cr at the box-office. This number also includes the international collections until Sunday. But according to film trade followers, the Anubhav Sinha directorial, which was made on a reported budget of Rs 150 cr, is certainly not a hit yet.

Trade sources estimate that the collections haven’t exceeded Rs 80 crore in the first five days. “It’s made approximately Rs 80 crore, which is reasonably good. But not that good, if you compare it with Bodyguard,” says Amod Mehra, a prominent tradesmith.

 Eva Longoria and Matt Barnes? That's the rumor of the day.


Having divorced San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker in 2010, Eva was rumored to be dating Matt after the New York Post reported a dalliance on Sunday.

The Texas-born actress "may have her eye on a new baller," they said, noting that the two were "very flirty" while dining with friends in NYC Thursday.

Priyanka Chopra refuses to return to Barfee


Anurag Basu's film Barfee is facing 'date' problems, once again. Thanks to lead actress Priyanka Chopra refusing to return to India to shoot for the film. The actress is currently busy recording and organising the release of her debut music album in North America. Basu's repeated efforts to convince the actress to return and complete the schedule have fallen on deaf ears.

The actress has informed the Barfee makers that she would only be able to allot dates for the schedule in January next year.

Priyanka's sudden passion for music seems to have left co-actors Ileana D'Cruz and Ranbir Kapoor with very little to do. A source informed Mumbai Mirror, "Ileana has gone back to her parents' place to spend some quality time with them. Still, Priyanka's cancellation of dates has inconvenienced Ileana quite a bit."

"Ranbir too was supposed to shoot scenes with Priyanka in the next couple of days. However, since she isn't coming back to the sets of Barfee for the time being, Ranbir has decided to spend all that time promoting his next film Rockstar," added the source.

Who Will Appear on New Justin Bieber Album?


Justin Bieber has already proven that he can work with the biggest names in the music business. Case in point: his recent duet with Mariah Carey.

Now, the singer has come out and offered an intriguing tease of what's to come on his next album. Or, to be more precise, who is to come.

“I’m working with a lot of cool people. I’m working with Kanye. Drake is gonna work on the album with me and a lot of different artists,” Justin told Rap-Up about the CD due out in early 2012.

Kim Kardashian Halloween Kostume.


Kim Kardashian ignored the rumors about her marriage last night - is it all a farce? - and got paid to party at New York City nightclub LAVO during an event sponsored by Midori.

And what did the professional celebrity dress as for the occasion? Poison Ivy, the Batman villain once portrayed on screen by Uma Thurman. All it was took was high heels, a cleavage-baring top and... wait, how is this any different than her usual red carpet outfits?

The party benefited a number of charities, with all cover charges going to causes that include... just kidding! Kim simply banked another six-figure payday for showing off her breasts.

Aishwarya Rai: On top of the world

On Tuesday, November 4, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will turn 38. And possibly, this week, she will also become a mommy. She seems all grownup today...Or maybe not! Five minutes and that tinkling girlish laugh breaks free. And I'm back to 1996 and our first interview... Just a few days before that marathon telephonic, the brandy-eyed, bejewelled beauty, in full brida gear, had stepped out in front of hundreds of popping flashbulbs at Hotel Leela Kempenski. She had swayed gracefully to the strains of a classical dance piece composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan... Aur Pyar Ho Gaya!

It was a happy coincidence that the title of her debut Bollywood film, co-starring Bobby Deol and directed by Rahul Rawail, mirrored the feelings of several across the country... And around the world. Still, success hadn't come easy to the most beautiful girl in the world.

My films are competing with each other: Kareena

With RA.One touted to cross the 100-crore mark at the box office as it releases this Diwali, Kareena Kapoor is staring at her fourth film to achieve such a feat and the actor says it is great that her films are competing with each other.

Her earlier films 3 Idiots, Golmaal 3 and Bodyguard grossed more than Rs 100 crores and RA.One might become Kareena's fourth film to break the box office record, making her the only actor in the history of Indian cinema to achieve this feat.

"It is a wonderful stint to be a part of. To have such great successes like 3 Idiots, Golmaal 3 and Bodyguard with Aamir, Ajay and Salman is a wonderful thing. Now with Shahrukh, I am looking forward to RA.One.

"I keep hearing all such fantabulous box office figures every now and then. If RA.One indeed manages to do as well as predicted, then nothing better than that. My films are competing with my own films and that is a great feeling," Kareena told PTI.

Bodyguard netted over 100 crores in it's extended first week and RA.One may break the record with a much bigger release on the extended weekend of Diwali.

Vidya Balan hospitalised


Vidya has been taking her role in The Dirty Picture very seriously. With constant shoots and the stress it obviously entails, Vidya started feeling rather dizzy and restless about ten days back. Her parents took her to the doctor who advised immediate hospitalisation.

Reportedly, Vidya was admitted to Lilavati Hospital and was kept under observation for three days. A source explained that the actress underwent several tests and the results indicated that her hemoglobin level was too low. She was put on drip. “Even though she has been discharged, the doctors have given Vidya strict instructions to rest for the next week,” said the source.

With the actress asked to put work aside for sometime, the last few shoots for The Dirty Picture will have to wait. The source explained, “There are still about five to six days of filming left. With Vidya recuperating, the shoot will have to wait. Ekta and Milan, however, are not worried about the delay. But definitely this delay is cutting too close to the scheduled November 2 release.”

Rihanna: Nude, Named Sexiest Woman Alive, Praising Chris Brown in Esquire!

Following in the smoking hot footsteps of 2010 winner Minka Kelly, Rihanna has just been dubbed by Esquire magazine the Sexiest Woman Alive. Really, Esquire?

We might have gone in another direction there, but the Barbados-bred singer is known for being sexy, and she knows it. There's simply no denying that fact.

Not that the c-word dropping artist cares. "At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing. Really, I don't even think about it," she says.

Concert-goers, Internet oglers and Dudley O'Shaughnessy beg to differ:

"With 'Skin' or 'S&M,' or when I cover Darling Nikki,'" she allows. "There's a section that's called 'Sex' in the show, which is the obvious section for sexuality."

Obviously.

Salman turns multi-lingual!

Actor Salman Khan will be the first Khan from Bollywood to speak in five different regional languages Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and Hindi in a promo to announce the launch of a TV channel History.

Jacqueline Fernandez ; Size matters


She’s being tagged as Bollywood’s new sex symbol after the success of Murder 2, but Sri Lankan actor Jacqueline Fernandez is clearly looking at the bigger picture now. She’s bagged several new offers and established heroines are watching out for her — all of this has resulted in a happy swing in Fernandez’s walk.

At Meena Bazaar in Mohali recently, Fernandez arrived dressed in a peach-orange Anarkali suit, sky-high heels and purple nail paint complementing the embroidery on her outfit. She looked every bit a star, except for the ill-fitted churidar.

“Murder 2 turned the spotlight on me and I got noticed for my work,” says the actor. After her sensual act in Murder 2, she’s opted for a superhero role in Krrish 2, and equally experimental roles in Housefull 2, Raaz 3 and Total Dhamaal. Fernandez wants to take risks and calls herself “unconventional”. “Something like the youth of today. I don’t want to play safe,” she says.

Kris Humphries to Kim Kardashian: Let's Pop Out Babies!

In one of the not remotely staged clips airing this Monday on the E!'s Kim’s Fairytale Wedding special, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries try to enjoy a casual meal as a couple in this for money love.

But the paparazzi are abundant, making it seriously hard for Kim and Kris to spend quality time with their own cameraman and prompting the NBA power forward to propose a solution:

"Maybe you should just move to Minnesota with me. We could move into my little house on the lake, we could just start popping out babies.”

Katrina forced to cancel vacation, for Dhoom!

If you've signed on to play female lead in the third installment of Dhoom series, it's not going to be cakewalk. Katrina Kaif is learning this fact the hard way these days. Katrina will not only act and perform stunts but also sing in the film!

Kat was planning a family holiday but had to cancel. "Katrina received an urgent return-to-duty call from Yashraj Films to not just learn some heavy-duty stunts but also exercise her vocal chords for her role in the sequel to Dhoom. She will need to undertake paragliding lessons and a full-fledged singing course for the project. Katrina has to go one up on the last Dhoom heroine Aishwarya Rai. That's a tall order in itself," a source told Subhash K Jha.

This is the first time Katrina Kaif will be crooning. She is also expected to sing in her Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-star Ali Zafar's album.

Bebe Buell to Dina Lohan: You Suck!

Liv Tyler’s mother, rock legend Bebe Buell, is coming out hard against Dina Lohan for some reason in the new issue of Steppin' Out (via Radar). Her main point?

Dina sucks as a person and needs to start acting like a mom.

“What her mother has done with Lindsay is morally wrong and disgusting. She should back off. Lindsay is the one with the talent. She's the star,” Bebe said.

“Dina Lohan's relationship with her daughter Lindsay Lohan disturbs me. I don't see a mother and a daughter there. If my beautiful daughter was like that..."

"I mean Lindsay and Liv were practically born on the same day. So I look at Lindsay and I see my own child in her because there's a great talent there."

NOTE: Liv was born July 1, 1977. Lindsay was born July 2 ... 1986.

“But if my baby girl got that screwed up I would NOT allow to make her own decisions," Bebe rants on. "I'm sorry! Anybody can think what they want."

Deepika: 'Pilates keeps me fit'


For Deepika Padukone, fitness is not an option, it's her lifestyle. Instead of making diets and exercise a compulsion and driving yourself up the wall to follow them, make them a part of your lifestyle," is her advice. The actor says little things like a 20-minute brisk walk around your building and taking stairs are good enough to maintain an average fitness level.

While it is a known fact that the actor was an avid badminton player before she joined films, she tries and maintains her fitness routine even now.

Ex-Sri Lankan beauty queen-turned-actor Jacqueline Fernandes feels lucky to be working with actor Hrithik Roshan. She has just replaced Chitrangda Singh in Krissh 3 and will play the role of a female mutant.
Jacqueline says, "I am excited and gearing up for my first action film." She has, in the past, shot an ad with the film's lead actor, Hrithik Roshan when she was new to the city and hadn't done any films. She says, "I was a random 'foreign' model and he was a huge star. I saw him at an award function later, but I didn't think he would remember me. Even after signing Krissh 3, I didn't think he would recall me from the ad."
So, has she met Hrithik yet? "We haven't met after signing the film. I had a narration and meeting with Rakesh Roshan (director). I don't know the dates yet," she says.

Angelina Jolie Stands Up For Yemeni Refugees


We now pause from the Brad Pitt-Jennifer Aniston drama for some actually true and important news: Angelina Jolie is putting on her humanitarian hat again.

This time, it's Yemen's refugees who have her full attention. The star praised a group aiding the Yemenis at the U.N. Refugee Agency Awards in Switzerland.

Jolie was nothing short of inspiring at the Geneva-based agency, honoring Yemen's Society for Humanitarian Solidarity with the agency's top annual award.

Dancing With the Stars Recap: Can Anybody Stop J.R. Martinez?


You knew an episode centered around the most memorable year of the contestants' lives was going to bring back memories and stir up emotions.

Nevertheless, few were prepared for just how moving J.R. Martinez's story of what happened to him at 19 - and his subsequent rumba - would be.

For the Iraq War vet, that should've been it. When his Humvee hit a landmine, it could've been over, and nearly was. He was critically injured.

He was lucky to even survive, as the many scars he carries remind him daily. That he's become a successful soap opera star is all the more incredible.


Guy can dance, too, it turns out. His 26 points left him only one shy of Monday's top spot, occupied for the second consecutive week by ... Ricki Lake!
