Hot pics - Jennifer Lopez’s cousin does a raunchy item song in Bollywood

Don’t miss the sexy Caterina Lopez shaking her booty

Latino Hottie

Thanks to ‘Munni’ and ‘Sheila’, the items songs are once again all the rage in Bollywood. But hoping to surpass the Malaikas and Katrinas is Jennifer Lopez’s cousin sister Caterina Lopez who is making her Bollywood debut with a raunchy item song.

Caterina will be seen shaking her booting to a peppy song in the upcoming Hindi film Bhindi Bazaar Inc..

The song to which she’s gyrating has some very bold lyrics and Caterina, despite not knowing Hindi, managed to lip-synch correctly. Now, she says she’s eyeing more offers and probably acting offers from Bollywood.


Sameera: How can you romance me, Veera?

He's smart, she's sweet. He's bold, she's bright, He's witty, she's wise. Veera and Sameera Reddy, who play the lead roles in Gautham Vasudev Menon's next film, Nadunisi Naaygal, may not share a lot in common, save the trust they have in their director's ability to make good films and the faith they have in each other's professionalism.

But that doesn't stop the two from being good friends and from bringing down the house whenever they are together. A classic example follows...

CT: It's good to have two intelligent people discuss their film...
Sameera: Two? There's only one here and that's me (sporting a wicked smile). But then, jokes apart, I will have to say that Veera is extremely hardworking. I've known that side of his right from the time we were working on Vaaranam Aayiram (VA). Veera was an assistant director then. The friendly equation was there right from the start of VA and it has continued. I felt very comfortable working with him except on the first day...(a confused look on our faces gets Veera to interrupt...)

veera (with a smile): When Gautham sir decided to do Nadunisi Naaygal, he called up Sam to tell her about it. She, because of the immense faith she had in him, did not ask for details and gave her dates straightaway. She had no clue that I was to be playing one of the most important characters in the film. So, when she arrived on the first day and heard the story, she asked, 'Who's the psycho?' to which Gautham sir replied, 'Veera is doing it.' And she began to laugh ... (Sameera cuts in at this point with a laugh...)

Sameera: To be honest, I thought it was a big joke. But then, all credit to Veera, I think he has come a long way. At no point has he taken anything for granted and worked really hard to prove himself. In fact, everybody who doubted him in the beginning has appreciated him in the end.

veera: I happened to watch a Bengali film in which Sam had acted and it was a performance-oriented role, which she had done beautifully. We often do not realise the immense potential our actresses have and confine them to glam roles. In fact, the kind of work Sameera has done in Nadunisi Naayagal has been fantastic. It's a tough, demanding role which is generally scripted for heroes.

Sameera: There's one particular scene in this film for which Gautham made me put my face in muck. I had to lie flat and put my face in the dirt with Rottweilers' snarling at me. It was a difficult and scary thing to do as on the one hand, you had the muck and on the other, growling rottweilers, with their saliva dripping, and their trainers egging them on to be even more ferocious.
(Veera interrupts: I wouldn't have ever done that)

Sameera: Though the Tamil audiences love commercial cinema, they also appreciate realistic cinema and I think Gautham is cashing in on that fact.

veera (with a wicked grin): It's only fair that this conversation ends with the question, 'When is Gautham sir going to make a love story with Sameera and me in the lead?'

Sameera: (laughing): Yeah, right! But how can you romance me, Veera?

veera: Why, Sam? I could sing to you with a guitar. I could be romantic...

Sameera (still roaring with laughter): Yeah, like the romantic way in which you drag me by my hair in this film and try to drown me in a tub of water? That's a romantic idea and I'm going to try that out this Valentine's Day.

JLo's sis in B-wood song

A film, an item song and a firang item babe... familiar formula? But this babe's different – she claims to be Jennifer Lopez's cousin! But all Caterina Lopez is willing to say is, "Yes, I am in the Lopez family." On being prodded further, she says, "I am a cousin of Jennifer Lopez, but I kind of really want to veer more towards me, 'coz having that kind of a last name, people tend to overlook your talents."

Asked where she is from originally, the reply is " Arizona". Does she meet JLo often? The reply is a non-committal, "All that personal stuff I really don't wanna discuss. But she's the busiest person in the world, let's just say that!" And would she say she dances as well as JLo? She laughs, "Ooh, that's a tricky one! She definitely dances better than me. We have our own styles, and now I'm gonna be having more of a Bollywood style!"

Caterina's done an item number in the forthcoming " Bhindi Bazaar Inc", and is excited to join the ranks of the 'Bollywood item girls'. So how did she land the project? "The director, Ankush Bhatt, and I were in touch and he was like, 'Hey, can you come down, audition for the film, we just wanna see if you like the song'... and once I heard the song, I fell in love with it," Caterina replies. And what did she do before this? "The first part of my career was mostly modelling, I haven't done any big films internationally, and this is my introduction to Bollywood," she says.

Bollywood dancing can be difficult for someone who's not familiar with it. "Oh it is, yes," she says. So how did she cope? She laughs, "I just drank a lot of energy drinks!"

Caterina might have had some difficulty with the jhatkas, but she answers our questions with practiced ease. She wants to stay on and "step it up with learning Hindi." And she "loves" India but "the traffic can be a little crazy. But I'm definitely enjoying the people. India, I'm falling in love with it!" She won't tell us how old she is either. "Let's just say I'm in my 20s. But I'm a young spring chicken!" What about her relationship status? "Oh, I'm single and I'm looking for a hot Indian man," she laughs, and adds, "But the thing is, I have a crush on Shah Rukh Khan and he's married! So I'm a little disappointed." Umm, how about another actor? She replies, "The one who was in "Action Replayy"?" She means Akshay Kumar? "Oh my God, yes. He's not married, is he?" When you tell her that, sadly, he is, she wails, "Oh my goodness, that's too bad! What is going on, India?"

Relief for Rakhi, police drop charges

Rakhi Sawant has been absolved of the abetment of suicide charge by the police in a case where a man died after participating in her reality show, " Rakhi Ka Insaf".

The case was lodged against her and others on November 12 last year, after the mother of the youth, Laxman, claimed that he was humiliated on the show and died due to depression. "Rakhi publicly humiliated Laxman, shouted at him and termed him as impotent," she had said in the complaint. The police has stated that Laxman died of natural causes. However, Rakhi has now been charged with obscenity in a public place, defamation and insult intended to promote breach of peace, along with the director and producer of the show.

Mona Singh is single again

Mona Singh, who parted ways with Karan Grover (Band Of Boys) in mid-2009, has proved to be unlucky in love, again.

Rumour has it that she has split with Akash Karnataki, who she was dating since December 2009.

Apparently, Mona and Akash realised they were two very different individuals with dissimilar likes and dislikes. They started quarreling a lot and decided to take a step back before it became too ugly.

When Mona met Akash, it was love at first sight. Mona had kept the affair under wraps but Mumbai Mirror on May 25, 2010 broke the story about their visible chemistry in pictures.

When asked about the new man in her life then, Mona had texted, "I am not in Mumbai. I am working. You print the story and pictures. I will get back and read it. Cheers. Enjoy."

This time too, when asked about her break-up with Akash, Mona remained elusive. She simply texted, "Ha Ha. When were we together?"

Wow! JWoww writes a book

Wow, JWoww! Jenni Farley is not only taking her hit ensemble show Jersey Shore global -- the housemates will travel to Italy for Season 4 -- but is now a published author.

The 25-year-old Long Island, N.Y. native wrote The Rules According to JWoww (Morrow, $19.99), to share tips about how to land a ``mint'' guy, ``stay fresh'' and kick your competition to the curb.
What motivated her to write it? 

``Everybody could see the bad breakup [with Tom Lippolis] I went through,'' says Farley from her New Jersey home. ``It really came down to recognizing my mistakes and how I kind of set myself up for disaster.''
The main piece of advice? Choose well.

``A lot of girls will find the guy physically of their dreams. But the guys mentally aren't ready,'' she says. ``You end up getting cheated on and lied to. It's trying to mold someone into something that they're not.''
You should also be on an equal playing ground with your partner, financially speaking. 

``If you're working 45 hours a week, and you have a career, and you meet a guy who lives at home with his mom and doesn't really know what he's doing in life but he looks good, how is that gonna work?'' says Farley, who is currently dating bodybuilder Roger Williams.

Other Shore-fire tips:

Never wear a granny on your fanny: ``You don't want to be caught with unflattering lingerie.''

Hair belongs on your head, nowhere else: ``Laser, waxing, general upkeep is very important. If you want someone that is in your eyes perfect you've got to work on yourself as well. It goes kind of both ways.''

Kiss your prospective boyfriend's mother's behind: ``Family will always be there. It's never good to be disrespectful to them, especially in the beginning. They could make or break your relationship.''

Sloppy drunk is not a good look on anyone. Basically, don't drink and date. ``We all have our moments, but when you're tryin' to get to know someone, and you can't remember what happened that's not cool,'' she says.

GTL: The Shore motto is alive and well, but JWoww has come up with a twist on how to get ready go out. ``GTS -- it's Gym, Tan, Shopping.''

Rihanna's S&M Video banned by YouTube?

Pop singer Rihanna's latest music video S&M has reportedly been banned by the video-sharing website, YouTube.

Oscar nominations for Best Film giving rise to speculation

The Oscar nominations of the Ten Best films have certainly caused much speculation regarding the two top movies,i.e. King’s Speech and The Social Network. According to reports, the announcement of the nominations are giving rise to a lot of speculations like if the two films have distorted certain historical facts and tried to mislead audiences, should the authorities give a second thought before giving out the awards or should such liberties be given to film makers? These and other observations are creating a lot of debates which certainly is leading the audiences and the average viewer nowhere.
Both movies have gone under a lot of debate owing to the content of the basic storyline that they follow. While The King’s Speech has a few historical facts, which have been spiced up adequately to suit the film makers to make it a bit commercially viable or whatever the reason might be, there is a sharp theory going around that certain historical facts should not be tampered with and thus the film makers should stick on to the originality of the story or the source.
The other movie in the top slot for the Best film category is The Social Network, which has been touted as a movie that does not have the utter truth been shown in the storyline. There are many, who are not just bothered with what the truth is and as long as the film was watchable and a bit entertaining it was just okay.

However, a certain section is well aware that whatever is shown on celluloid need not always be the truth. Certain liberties are indeed taken by the film makers to dramatize the entire gist of the story to make it popular with the audiences.

Yet another argument doing the rounds is that whenever an issue is handled in a movie there is bound to be certain half stories told which leave the audiences asking for more like in The Social Network, the life of the people concerned are dealt with in quite a brief manner. There are many reality based truths, which are not disclosed properly and certain questions go unanswered as history has not yet recorded certain facts as of yet. Thus, the movie leaves those issues regarding real people somewhere midway which is quite bewildering to most viewers.

Now, with such movies getting into top nominations for prestigious awards the question being asked is does it really matter? Well, there are other counter questions that go on to ask that what is more important for film makers-to win awards or to entertain audiences and to look for commercial viability of their movies? Tough ones there!

"Hate this name Bollywood": Salman

Some, who don’t read the headline carefully, may wonder why Salman Khan hates Bollywood, which has given him so much. Of course, he just can’t hate it and has no reason to. What Salman hates is not the film industry but its name, which is a copycat of its western counterpart Hollywood.
“Hate this name, Bollywood. Koi naam hai kya? Disgusting,” Salman Khan posted on his Twitter page.

Well, Salman has a good point here, because a name for the Hindi film industry without the word ‘wood’ would sound better and more original. Many Indian film personalities and the public may agree to Salman on this!

Aamir Khan joins the league of bad boys

Some actors take up lead roles after playing villains while some turn baddie after doing hero roles. Almost all the top actors in Bollywood have done villain roles at one point of their career. The reason behind it is that they want to try different roles. And soon, Aamir Khan, the perfectionist, too will join the ‘league of bad boys’.

Yes, Aamir is going to play a negative role in Dhoom 3 to be produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. He will act along with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra in the Dhoom sequel. He said that he is excited and looking forward to act in the film.

Looking at the past, almost all the big names in Bollywood have done villain roles. Amitabh Bachchan played a grey role in Aankhen and Sanjay Dutt played a bad guy with a good heart in Khalnayak. Shahrukh Khan did negative roles in the films like Anjaam and Baazigar and Akshay Kumar did it in Ajnabee. Ajay Devgn played a villain in Deewangee and so too Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2.

The list of actors, who have done negative roles, doesn’t end here. Abhishek Bachchan played a baddie in Yuva, Arjun Rampal as a menacing film producer in Om Shanti Om. Saif Ali Khan in Omkara, Akshaye Khanna in Race and the list goes on.

Going by the trend, it looks like an actor’s reel life is incomplete without doing grey roles. Welcome aboard Aamir!

Yeh Saali Zindagi hit by kiss controversy

Yeh Saali Zindagi has been in the news more for the number of kisses it contains than its story. Now, the very reason that the film has been hyped for has caused trouble. Arunoday Singh, the lead actor of the film, has invited the wrath of a prestigious college by kissing one of its students.

It all happened at the Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication’s (SIMC) annual festival 'Madhyam’. Arunoday Singh, Chitrangada Singh and director Sudhir Mishra attended the college to promote their film Yeh Saali Zindagi. However, all hell broke lose after the lead actor kissed a girl on the stage.


It is said that the actor joked about the number of kisses the film has and declared that he would kiss any girl who come to the stage. Following his declaration, a girl came to the stage and they ended up kissing in front of everyone.

The incident has angered the college authorities, as they felt that the unit of the film did it intentionally for publicity. “I was backstage when it happened and I don't believe all this was impromptu. I think they planned it well in advance as a low-cost means of promoting their film," Mid Day quoted SIMC Director Anupam Siddhartha as saying, adding, "They are operating on a shoestring budget and I understand that they want to get publicity free of cost but I wish they hadn't used our college as a means of achieving that. But I can't blame actors, who haven't tasted success yet and are desperate.”

Surprisingly, the person who did the stunt is not moved the incident. “It was just a peck on the lips because the audience demanded it and I did not realise that it would become such a big issue. And they were not elementary kids, they are responsible for their actions,” Mid Day quoted Arunoday as saying.

Meanwhile, director Sudhir Mishra apologised for hurting the sensibilities of the college authorities while maintaining that it was just an impromptu act.

Well, the crew of Yeh Saali Zindagi should know that they might kiss innumerable times in the film but that doesn’t mean they can kiss around with young students!

Onscreen Lip Locks That Wooed Audiences

Onscreen lip locks in Indian film industry is something which one would not have thought about until recent times. The Bollywood film industry always had inhibition in shooting the intimate scenes as it was supposed to be in bad taste and against the Indian culture. This school of thinking was very much prevalent till a couple of years ago, but nowadays it is seen that the distinction between the public and the private scene is diminishing fast. Bollywood movies have become too much bold in their approach and lip locks are very much common.
Even though there are many on screen lip locks which can be seen nowadays, there are a few lip lock sequences which have created a stir among the audiences and have become pretty famous. Mentioned below are five famous onscreen lip locks shot in the Bollywood film industry. 

1.Kites
The mega budget Hindi movie, Kites was produced in 2010, and was one of the most hyped movies. The film drew attention as it was a multi lingual film and had a foreigner as the lead actress. Even though the film could not do well in the box office, the lip lock between Hrithik and Mori was one of the prime interests of the viewers. In fact Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori also made a good pair and there on screen chemistry was pretty good.




2.Crook
Crook is a film, which stars Emran Hashmi and Shella Allen. As the actor is often referred as a serial kisser, Emran Hashmi has once again done a lip lock with Shella and is on the news again.









3.Rajneeti

You can also see a lip lock in Rajneeti, which is set against a political back drop. In this film you can see Ranbir Kapoor and Sarah. Both play the role of lovers who are ripped across. The lip lock which is shared between them, tries to show the fidelity and the honesty of Ranbir’s love to his lady, irrespective of boundaries. This lip lock is more of an assurance rather than the portrayal of sensuous love.



4.Band Baaja Baraat

In Band Baaja Baraat also we see actors Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh doing lip lock in such a situation where there was no possibility of love or romance between them. So this sweet exchange of lip lock was a kind of relief to the audience, for whom this was pretty unexpected.







5.Ishqiya 
Another rustic onscreen lip lock which was pretty talked about was in the film Ishqiya. The film cast includes Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan and Nasiruddin Shah. The film has a typical village like ambience, where Vidya plays a village girl. She and Arshad Warsi engage themselves in a lip lock which expresses their love and passion for each other. 

Lip locks are a revolution for such an industry where showing of skin and various other bold acts were a strict no-no. With recent times such restrictions and limitations no more exists and lip locks are very much talked about. Showing lip locks on screen has defied all the rules of culture and norms; and they are very much prevalent in Indian films now.



The Many Facets of the Aquarius Personality Preity Zinta


The multi faceted Dil Se lady of the Hindi film industry just celebrated her birthday on 31st January. This Aquarius personality started her life from Shimla, appearing in commercials like Liril to Perk, and spent time doing many types of films from Hindi, Telegu to Canadian. In all these films she played various roles from a CBI officer to a journalist or for that matter even a radio jockey. She won a lot of accolades from the Filmfare to the Silver Hugo award for the best actress.

Working with film directors like Mani Ratnam, Kundan Shah Karan Joshar Yash Chopra and other co actors like Anil Kapoor, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan she proved her self time and again. In the year 2000 the film Kya Kehna, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega and Mission Kashmir kept her fans talking of her talents and was much reviewed by film critiques. Koi Mil Gaya was a difficult film where she was paired with Hrithik Roshan who himself is a very talented artist and could have stolen the show single handedly. But to our surprise they were both talked about. Similarly working with Shahrukh Khan for the film Kal Ho Naa Ho she proved herself once again.

Rituparno Ghosh too had immense faith and invited her to star for his The Last Lear.

Other than films she has varied interest in other fields of life too. She has written columns for BBC news and has co-owned the IPL cricket team Kings X1 Punjab.

She supports a number of social causes like Aids Awareness and the Red Cross Society in Shimla. Not only does Preity have a good rapport with friends from the film industry but she has had a very encouraging approach with the IPL players too.
