Asin is known as 'behenji' of B-town

Asin is gearing up for a major makeover. The actress is tired of being referred to as a behenji and wants to start dressing sexily.

Recently, she had a meeting with a designer and discussed the possibility of wearing skimpy clothes to various events. A source reveals, "She has realised that her image needs to be changed.

After working in Housefull 2 with Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan and Shazahn Padamsee, she felt that as everyone dressing up sexily, she should, too." Let's wait and see how this one turns out!

Rakshanda Khan, an erotic danseuse now!

Rakshanda Khan will play a character inspired by Rekha's Utsav role. She will play a cameo in Nikhil Sinha's mythological show Devon Mein Dev Mahadev. 

She will play Madinika, a dance teacher. Apparently, her styling is as glamourous as Re's Utsav look. She says, "Like Rekhaji, I too will be wearing heavy jewellery, bangles, anklets, head and wrist bands and flowers."

She adds, "I am a thorough admirer of Rekhaji. She's an immensely powerful actress. Given a choice, I would love to play her character from Umrao Jaan." Apparently, actress Ashwini Kalsekar was almost finalised for the role but her dates couldn't be worked out and that's when Rakshanda came into the picture.

`Agneepath' is my challenging film till date, says Hrithik Roshan

Mumbai, Jan 12 (PTI) Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, who has stepped in the shoes of legendary Amitabh Bachchan in upcoming `Agneepath', says the remake version of the 1990 action thriller is the hardest film he has done till date. Hrithik, who made his grand film debut in a leading role in `Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' in 2000, will reprise Bachchan's iconic role -- Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. Asked whether `Agneepath' will change his image as an actor, the 38-year-old says, "This is not in my hand. We are doing everything possible to make the film a success. I don't believe in an image change.

I only do films that I like and never think whether or not a movie will change my image." "In case of `Agneepath' I feel it is the hardest film that I have done ever...especially the climax scene. I can not talk much about it; you all must go and see it," said Hrithik, who tasted success last year in `Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'. `Agneepath', a remake of the Mukul Anand-directed Hindi film of the same name, is produced by Karan Johar and helmed by Karan Malhotra. The film, which will hit cinema houses on January 26, stars Priyanka Chopra as the female lead, while Sanjay Dutt would play the villain's role, originally essayed by Danny Denzongpa. "She (Priyanka) is a superb co-star and a very special person. She is the best person to work with. When she is on film sets, the environment turns very positive," Hrithik added. PTI KKP RSY

Hundreds of Pippa Middleton photos taken daily

The picture editor of Britain's Daily Mail newspaper says up to 400 photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge's sister, Pippa Middleton, cross his desk every day. 

Paul Silva says the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, typically has eight or nine photographers camped outside her door and estimated that they produce between "300 to 400 pictures" of her daily.

Silva was answering questions at the Leveson Inquiry, a judge-led investigation into the ethics of the country's media.

The inquiry was set up in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal centred on the News of the World newspaper and has heard from celebrities who say they were hounded by paparazzi.

Silva said yesterday that he saw no need to constantly run photographs of Pippa Middleton going about her daily business.

"There is no reason to photograph her when she is out and about doing her own thing," he said. "At the moment there are nine or 10 agencies outside her house (on most days). If she goes to get coffee, she goes back into her house, we get 300 to 400 pictures … There is no justification for using them."

'I'm human and we make mistakes': Embarrassed AnnaLynne McCord on her topless picture tweet

AnnaLynne McCord is still reeling after accidentally posting a topless picture of herself on Twitter.

The actress, who plays Naomi Clark in 90210, inadvertently posted the photograph on the social networking website earlier this week.

The 24-year-old told Global Grind today: 'I'm a human being and we make mistakes.'

AnnaLynne McCord accidentally tweeted this topless picture on Twitter earlier this week

Addressing her critics, he continued: 'My only response to all these lovely people is, "He who be without sin cast the first stone." 

'If you have never messed up or done anything wrong in your life, then please, feel free to judge me.'

AnnaLynne unwittingly tweeted the picture to a female fan on Monday.

But when fans noticed her nipple was visible in the image McCord pulled the original post down and replaced it with a cropped version.

However, the racy image had already found it's way on to the internet.

She's not the first celebrity to be inadvertently overexposed on Twitter.

In November, Dean McDermott accidentally tweeted a picture that featured his wife Tori Spelling's naked breasts in the background.

Has bikini girl Cameron Diaz had a secret boob job?

Cameron Diaz has sparked speculation of a breast enlargement after her latest outing in a tiny bikini.

The Charlie's Angels star, 39, was spotted on the beach in Hawaii over the holidays looking rather shapely, prompting rumours she's gone under the knife.

The actress is said to have had implants to boost her chest by a cup size, according to the National Enquirer.

There's something about Cameron: Miss Diaz has sparked speculation of surgery after her visit to Hawaii earlier this month

Plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn, who has not treated the star, told the publication: 'I believe she has had a breast augmentation using  relatively small silicone implants.'

'Since swelling can take severely weeks to settle down, I suspect she had the surgery at least two to three weeks ago.' 

Cameron has previously said she'd prefer a more curvy figure, telling Marie Claire in 2009: 'I'd love to be more voluptuous. It's just not my body type."

The star, who had her nose fixed in 2006 after breaking it four times, said in 2010 that she would rule out more surgery. 

Diversion tactic? The Bad Teacher star also unveiled a new haircut

 'Yeah, well, hey. I’m not doing anything right now,' she told British Vogue. 'But we’ll see. So far, so good. But I’ll never say never to anything.'

As well as her curves, Cameron also unveiled a short new hair cut during the beach holiday with friends. 

The star, who has previously dated Justin Timberlake and Alex Rodriguez, has most recently been romantically linked to rapper Diddy, 

She will soon return to the big screen in the upcoming flick, What To Expect When You’re Expecting. 

She joins an ensemble cast which includes Matthew Morrison, Jennifer Lopez, Brooklyn Decker, Chace Crawford and Cheryl Cole.

She plays Jules – an aspiring singer and a host to a weight loss fitness show - in the Kirk Jones directed movie which is expected to hit screen in May.

Kate Middleton dressed head to toe in gifts on Canada visit, records show

London :  The new Duchess of Cambridge was showered with gifts - from head to toe - on her first overseas visit as a member of the royal family.

Palace records show that Canadian officials and well-wishers gave the former Kate Middleton hats, tartan and peacock fascinators and three pairs of shoes during her visit to the country with Prince William last year.

The couple's office, Clarence House, has published lists of all the gifts the pair received on trips in 2011.

William's haul included shirts, cufflinks, a pilot's helmet from a unit of the Royal Canadian Air Force and a Canadian Ranger patrol knife.

Governor General David Johnson - the representative in Canada of William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II - gave the couple a quilt, while Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper presented them with a woollen blanket, a framed photograph, souvenir edition Canadian magazines, two jackets, a bottle of whiskey and a Canadian flag.

A gift from Canada's health minister was arguably more practical - two mosquito traps.

The royal couple, who married last April at Westminster Abbey in London, visited Canada and the US between June 20 and July 10.

The American leg of the tour took in California, where they received an iPad from Gov. Jerry Brown and four coasters from the sheriff-coroner of Santa Barbara.

During a solo visit to Australia and New Zealand in March, William was given items including a papier mache model of a cassowary - a large flightless bird - and a jar of the savoury spread Vegemite.

Some gifts came from officials and dignitaries, others from unnamed individuals - everything from a "selection of baseball caps" to rubble from buildings destroyed in the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake.

A palace official said yesterday all gifts are registered and then either placed in storage or put on display in royal residences.

Salman Khan's latest Partner

After patiently waiting in the sidelines for her Bollywood debut for quite a while now, Angela Jonsson has now landed an exclusive deal with Salman Khan's home production.

 The Kingfisher calendar model will not only now star in Sher Khan, she will also star in the sequel of Partner and the remake of Amar Akbar Anthony, that will feature all the three Khan brothers Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail, both slated for 2013.

Says our source, "Angela's career in Bollywood wasn't taking off. But Salman and Sohail saw her potential and offered her an exclusive contract before she made the wrong career moves. Now she will be eligible for all of Salman's home productions, though they don't necessarily have to sign her for every film they make."

Confirming this, Sohail says, "Yes she has signed an exclusive contract with us. But we haven't decided which film or films she will be doing. We think she has great potential. We will launch her."

Earlier there was buzz that adult-content actress Sunny Leone would be starring in Sher Khan. However, the Khan brothers are said to have dropped Sunny after they came to know that the Bhatts were looking to sign her.

Our source points out, "Besides, Sher Khan is designed for Salman's young fans. An adult actress didn't quite fit the bill."
