Sameera Reddy ditches Mumbai for Goa

Sameera Reddy was to perform on New Year's Eve at the Bandra Reclamation in Mumbai but headed out to Goa with friends apparently leaving the organisers in the lurch.
She suddenly took off to Goa on December 28 and was spotted partying on the 31st. A friend of the actress, explains, "It's not true. A protest rally was held in Mumbai last Saturday and so, getting certain permissions were an issue. Besides, Sam hadn't been paid for the event. 

Also because of lack of permissions, the event was cancelled." Sameera adds, "I had offers to perform in Dubai, Delhi and Chandigarh but chose Mumbai to be close to my family. It's sad that the organisers weren't given the required permissions." 

Anushka Sharma’s ‘background’ check

Anushka Sharma is fond of food, loves watching sitcoms and is always on the lookout for good scripts... But none of these are her weaknesses. 

 In an exclusive chat with zoOm, her close friend Ranveer Singh revealed what made Anushka tick, and sold her out! "The biggest weakness she has, and one that can easily earn you a spot on her 'Friends' list, is if you draw a connection to her background. Just say that you're from Bangalore, she will give you all the attention. Or say that you come from an Army background, and you'll be in. Say you're from St Carmel's and she'll be sold. She'll be the best of friends with you," he revealed. Okay, so now we know how to bell the cat... just do a quick 'background' check!

For exclusive interviews, B-Town parties and events, watch B Tonite from Monday - Friday at 10 pm, only on zoOm - India's No 1 Bollywood channel.

Kareena Kapoor turned director for Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

Every actor in the Kapoor clan seems to have a penchant for direction too. After cousin Ranbir, who directed a brief sequence in his last flick, Rockstar, it was time for Kareena to don the director’s hat. The actor recently directed a scene in her next, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. The film’s director, Shakun Batra, wanted Bebo and her co-star Imran Khan to shoot a scene in Las Vegas, where they’d have to behave drunk on the streets. 

Apparently, he wanted natural reactions from the public without anyone realising that they were being filmed.  

“When Kareena and Imran were told about it,  they seemed a little unsure. But later, she took charge of the entire shoot and after rehearsing it with Imran, they shot the sequence with ease. Kareena led the way and almost directed the entire sequence,” says a source. 

Batra confirmed this saying “I wanted people to react naturally towards them. It was a fun sight. Bebo took the lead, and with Imran, behaved like they were actually drunk, lying down on escalators, making faces at others and giving strangers high fives. It has turned out to be a very natural sequence.”

However, when the makers got the scene right, they revealed to the public that they were making a film, and the people left laughing.

Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan return after welcoming 2012 in Dubai

The two reigning Khans of Bollywood- Salman and Shah Rukh- returned to Mumbai on January 3, 2012 after holidaying in Dubai. Both Salman and SRK were in Dubai to celebrate the New Year and coincidently both of them chose the same day to return to Mumbai.


 SRK was seen exiting the airport with wife Gauri and kids. While SRK seemed over protecting his daughter Suhana, Gauri appeared a bit hustled by the crowd. Apparently, SRK was in no mood to end his vacation.

"Chhutti ended too fast.. Wish I could have stayed longer. I have another four-five days off, but kids are back to school. That's why I'm back too," he said.

Almost an hour after King Khan, it was Dabangg Khan's turn to land in Mumbai. Salman looked ever so stylish in blue jeans and a black shirt as he made his way out of the airport un-frazzled by the crowds.

His younger sister Arpita was seen grabbing Salman's arm as soon as the crowd at the airport went in a tizzy. The two warring Khans did manage to avoid meeting each other at the airport. But people wonder if they bumped into each other in Dubai.

Paris Hilton: I've Earned $1.3 Billion Since 2005 | Paris Hilton on FHM

Paris Hilton is often criticized for being "famous for being famous," but the 30-year-old reality star says she's worked hard to amass her hefty fortune.

 "I'm involved in my products every step of the way. My fragrances are doing really well at the moment," Hilton tells FHM UK's January issue. "They've produced more than $1.3 billion in revenue since 2005."

"I have 35 stores and 17 product lines. And then there's my racing team, my 14 fragrances and my new project, the Paris Hilton Beach Club chain. The first one is opening in the Philippines soon. It's going to have nightclubs, restaurants, bars, gyms. Everything really."

Hilton, who's currently dating Dutch DJ and music producer Afrojack, also plans to release a follow-up to her 2006 debut album -- despite dismal record sales.

"I have a huge passion for house music," Hilton tells FHM UK. "I just haven't been able to focus on it, because I have been doing reality TV for so long now. I've been working on the album with lots of other top DJs for a while now and I think people will be really surprised. It's very modern and very catchy; perfect party music."

"There are just so many great DJs right now," Hilton adds. "And I should know -- I've been to over 100 raves in the past year, so I've heard every type of music."

Amber Rose says Kim Kardashian played role in Kanye West break up

Friends of Kim Kardashian have jumped to the socialite’s defense following tabloid allegations suggesting she broke up Amber Rose’s relationship with Kanye West.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa
 Rose, who is currently dating “soulmate” Wiz Khalifa, has opened up about her time with the “Stronger” rapper in the new issue of Star magazine, and she accuses both West and Kardashian of infidelity.

Rose claims the reality star cheated on her then-boyfriend, Reggie Bush, with West, an act which ultimately ended Rose’s romance with the hit maker.

Rose says, “They were both cheating on me and Reggie with each other. She was sending pictures, and I was like, ‘Kim, just stop. Don’t be that person.’ I thought at least she’d be woman enough to respond to me. She never responded.

“She’s cut from a different cloth than I am. . . . It’s very important that us women stick together and we don’t [bleep] each other over like that. It’s not cool. You don’t do that to somebody. There are a million men out there. . . . Kim is one of the main reasons why me and Kanye are not together.”

But sources close to Kardashian insist Rose has got her facts wrong with one insider telling WENN, “There’s no truth to this. Kim and Kanye have been friends for years and years and they remain friends. They were friends before Kanye and Amber even met.”

Rose insists she isn’t bitter about the split, because it eventually led her into the arms of Khalifa.

She adds, “I want to thank her. Because if she was never a homewrecker, then I would never have met Wiz and I wouldn’t be as happy as I am now! Wiz is my soul mate. He is my life. He is my angel. And God does everything for a reason.”

Deepika turns 26, Salman first one to wish

Deepika Padukone is ecstatic about turning 26 today. The reasons: she got her first birthday wish from none other than Salman Khan, she’s celebrating the day in her new house with family, and, she has the day off. 
“It was really sweet of Salman. He was actually the first person to have wished me and that too three days in advance,” says the actor, who is on a break after finishing a hectic 50-day shooting schedule in South Africa for Saif Ali Khan’s upcoming production.

She recently shifted from Bandra in Mumbai to her new apartment in Prabhadevi, but she clears that it isn’t from beau Siddharth Mallya. “I gifted myself a new house last year, and I am still immersed in enjoying the moment,” she says.

So, the party plans? “I’ve not planned anything fancy … I’ll be spending time with my family and friends.” What about that one special birthday wish? “Let that be a secret,” she chooses.

Katrina Kaif's bloody item song "Chikni Chameli"

Leave the moving and grooving to her. Katrina Kaif knows her job best.

And after a sizzling Sheila, bindass Bodyguard and Chikni Chameli, she's only gotten better at it. But fame, as always, comes at a price.
zoOm's sources recently revealed that the shooting schedule for her item song for Agneepath was rather demanding and stretched over long hours. So much so, that while shooting for the song, Kat got blisters and her feet started bleeding. Worried about her condition, her staff asked the choreographer to stop the shoot. Packing up for the day would have meant sending Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt home, too.

But Katrina proved to be a thorough professional and insisted that the actors needn't worry about her. She resumed her dance in no time, and completed the shoot as planned. Looks like this Chameli gave it her 100 per cent, no aadha, pahua here!
