Vidya Balan to pose naked for MF Hussain

Artist Maqbool Fida Husain is smitten by Vidya Balan’s beauty and he wanted to paint nude picture of Vidya.

The 95 year old artist has made a special request to the actress saying that he wanted to capture her on his canvas in nude. "Husain saab is keen on doing a very special painting with Vidya Balan. He has never captured any Bollywood star in the nude, so it will be a first of sorts," said the source.

A source informs that Vidya is thrilled with the idea but yet to give her consent as she is busy shooting for Balaji’s ‘Dirty Picture’ where she is playing Silk Smita, south actress of the eighties.

Bollywood muse always inspires MF Hussain. In the past, he was clean bowled by Madhuri Dixit, Tabu, Anushka Sharma and now Vidya Balan.

No honeymoon for Imran-Avantika

Imran, Avantika find themselves stuck in Mumbai...

They did get married abroad - on an island, somewhere near Bangkok, and wanted to honeymoon on another exotic island - something on the lines of Hawaii. But that wasn't to happen. Imran Khan and Avantika Malik returned home so that the newly-wed Imran could keep his professional commitments.

Busy shooting for 'Short Term Shaadi' and 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', Imran hoped to disappear for a few days with wife Avantika, with the assumption that Kareena Kapoor would also take a few days off to go to some exotic place with beau Saif. Unfortunately, none of that is happening, and both couples have to keep to schedules too tight to allow them any wonderful adventures with their better halves.

Imran has promised Avantika to make it up to her, once his shooting is done... but till then she has decided to be a wee bit grumpy.

Arjun Rampal joins the 'Rascals'

Arjun Rampal is not game for doing cameo roles in films. But he has made an exception for David Dhawan’s film Rascals.

“Yes, I finally agreed to do 'Rascals'. I always wanted to work with David Dhawan. And it is Sanjay Dutt's first production. So all the more special. I've about 20 days' work. However, cameos as a rule are not what I'm looking for in my career right now,” Arjun is quoted to have said by a news agency.

The actor has left for Bangkok to shoot for his part in the movie, starring Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan in lead roles.

But the movie Arjun is eagerly looking forward to is Shahrukh Khan’s Ra.One in which he plays the villain.

At the end of the day, a good role is a good role, black or white or grey. I'm happy with the way my career has shaped up,” the 38-year-old actor said.

Pics - Check out the striking look of Nargis in ‘Rockstar’

             On the sets!

                                                                 Nargis shooting in Prague for a song.
                                                  The stunning Nargis from 'Rockstar'.

                                          Nargis and Ranbir at Delhi for the shoot.

Pics - Ranbir’s Rockstar heroine Nargis Fakhri 

Ranbir’s Rockstar heroine Nargis Fakhri resembles Katrina Kaif

Speculations were rife that the beautiful Katrina Kaif feels insecure of the hot Nargis Fakhri, who gets to make her debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar. We see the reason why Kat was seeing red when her new man was getting friendly with Nargis on the sets of the film.

It’s kind of creepy! See how closely Nargis resembles Katrina Kaif! She was never touted as the look-alike of Katrina, but in these images from Rockstar, no one can deny that she looks like the spitting image of Kat. Is that the reason why Kat was feeling insecure of Nargis?

Nargis was selected to romance Ranbir in Rockstar after many fresh faces auditioned for the role. Director Imtiaz Ali was convinced about Nargis being the right gal for the film.

What else is common between the two ladies besides their striking resemblance? Nargis who is from USA is half Pakistani and half Czech, and Kat, as we all know, is also half Kashmiri and half British. The pout, the face-cut and the immaculate fair skin of both the actresses can confuse anyone at first glance. Do we see the reason why Kat should worry?

Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif join hands for an item bomb!

The movie buffs whose appetite for the raunch has been whetted by the tempting likes of Munni and Sheila better gear up for what could be the mother of all item songs - featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Katrina Kaif.

Yes, the current hot properties of Bollywood will join hands for Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder’s next film Joker, to be directed by Shirish.

The movie initially did not have any item song, much to the dismay of the leading lady Sonakshi Sinha, who was itching to show her dancing prowess. But Farah finally heeded her leading lady’s wish and granted her more than was asked for.

We hear that Joker will now have a raunchy item song featuring Sonakshi and a top Bollywood heroine, most likely Katrina Kaif. Most elated at this news is Sonakshi who says she’s confident that the song will be “lavish and aesthetic.”

Forget item songs, this one might well turn out to be an item bomb!

Akki guards scared Anushka!

What will happen when Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma will make a public appearance?

A jam-packed venue with swelling crowd, eager to catch a glimpse of the stars. Some will even try to touch the pretty and petite actress, while many others will push and shove to get her autograph.

All of this happened when the two were in Faridabad recently for a promotional activity. While the black-belt Kumar is strong enough to shoo away crazy fans, guess Anushka couldn't do that. So, when it was time to leave the venue, Akki, like a true khiladi, supported and shielded Anushka from the crowd. In the midst of the chaos, he was seen holding her hand (very firmly) and taking her along with him, while Anushka, it seems, was too surprised and couldn't say much (muh khula ka khula hi reh gaya, eh?), and obeyed her senior co-actor quietly. What was she thinking... Tujh mein guard dikhta hai, Akki main kya karun?

Meanwhile, we kept wonder ing as to where did their tall, strong bouncers disappear? Maybe they took an off this day. Anyway, jab Akshay hai toh kya gham hai? Here's a thumbs up for being the guardian, Akshay!

SRK's sleepless nights

That SRK's a good actor is no new news (the awards speak for themselves) but he's no less of a juggler, either!

Shah Rukh's juggling between his many brand endorsements, show rehearsals, film schedules and pulling through 22-hour long shooting schedules. He's shooting all day for brand endorsements, and all night for Don 2, which leaves him with couple for hours to hit the sack. Add to it, the wedding receptions, premiers, parties and the unforgettable one-liners that he keeps dropping which makes headlines.

Well, we're glad that amidst all this madness, this Khan atleast has a sense of humor, one which leaves us all in splits. And we think the lovely Gauri will definitely agree that...iss Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai...
