Tulisa debuts second solo single Live It Up... but it gets mixed reactions from fans

She hit the top spot on the UK charts with her debut solo single Young earlier this year.

And now Tulisa is hoping to recreate her previous success with her second offering, Live It Up.

The former N-Dubz singer debuted the track on radio stations nationwide this morning, after admitting recently that she was hoping the song would help define her 'as an artist'.

She told Capital FM: 'Basically, with this single there is no aim at all to get a number one or storm the charts.

'This is now me going back to me and trying to define myself as an artist because I knew I wanted a number one hit as my first release. I got that with Young, so I went even more urban with this second single.'

However, the song, which also features rapper Tyga, didn't go down too well with listeners, with many taking to Twitter to express their disappointment.

One user wrote: 'The new Tulisa single sounds like Start Without You by Alexandra Burke with every bit of joy, sunshine and enthusiasm drained out of it.'

While another added: 'Just heard Tulisa's new song.. And she's quite good at singing so why does she shout and growl in all of them??'

However, others backed the singer and her new offering, with one tweeting: 'Tulisa 'Live It Up' is amazing:D!'

Tulisa said she is hoping the new track will give people more of an idea of her intentions as an artist

But regardless of the mixed reactions to the track, Tulisa said that she's not expecting big chart movement for the single.

She explained: 'I don't expect it to even possibly get top ten it's that urban, but you never know.

'The fanbase could pull through, the N-Dubletts could pull through, and it is a smash but it's an urban smash and I know that in the UK these days it is a lot tougher with urban music.'

It was recognition time for Hollywood teen sensations with the Teen Choice Awards 2012, held in Los Angeles on Monday. The awards night was high on entertainment with the teen sensations in attendance.

Twilight stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were at the ceremony to pick up this year's batch of boards as well as the Ultimate Choice Award, which is a version of a lifetime achievement award.

"I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I'm probably going to say pretty much the same thing. I don't know why we haven't got any better at these. I think I don't know if I'm allowed to. Can I give this to the audience? Because, this is really... not that I don't appreciate it. But, thank you guys so much, it's been an amazing five years,” Robert Pattinson said.

Taylor Lautner said, “It's amazing. You guys are still around and just as strong and just as loyal.”

Singing sensation Justin Beiber was understandably excited as he took home the Choice Music Male Artist Award.

“Thank you so much to all my fans. I just want to say, this album has meant the world to me. I spent so much time on it and I hope that it was everything that you guys waited for. I hope that you guys are playing it over and over again,” he said.

Jolting break-up rumours, it sure was a happy day for real life sweethearts Justin and Selena as the latter took home the award for Choice Music Group.

“I'm so embarrassed that my band isn't here. But this goes out for you guys, my band. Joey, Dane, everybody, thank you so much,” Selena said.

There was also the attractive Taylor Swift, who took away the Choice Female Artist award.

“The fact that you guys voted for me for this. This is a really huge award and I'm so excited and I just feel so honoured that I get to have you guys in my life. I'm so happy right now. Thank you so much,” Taylor said.

With so many awards, the shimmer and the stars the teeny award night sure was a huge hit with all the kiddies and the grown-ups alike.

I don't believe in crash diets: Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone's orange bikini scene from her latest film, Cocktail, has been the talk of the town. The actress says the secret behind her perfect figure is not any crash diet, but a combination of regular workouts and healthy eating.

Deepika said, "I think ideally one should not reach a stage where you have to go on crash diets. You need to be conscious on a daily basis. I feel that this should be your lifestyle."

"For me, working out and eating healthy is a part of my lifestyle. I don't do it for a particular shoot. I know people who eat in a crazy way and suddenly they want a perfect body, and they go on crash diets. That takes a toll on your hormones," she added.

In an industry where size zero seems to be going out to fashion, the 26-year-old says she doesn't mind being a 'healthy' version of it.

"I feel that size doesn't matter, fitness and health should come first. I know people who are heavy, but have great stamina, and I know skinny people with no stamina. It depends on your fitness level. There is nothing wrong with being a size zero as long as it is a healthy size zero," she said.

Talking about her bikini shoot, Deepika says she just had to tweak her workout and diet a bit for the desired results.

"We shot in Cape Town and I did alter my diet for the shoot. But because I have always been fit, I didn't have to go on any type of crash exercise or diet," she said.

Deepika's bold and vivacious character named Veronica in the film has been liked and appreciated by all. She says she is happy to break the perception people had formed of her.

"It's nice to know that people have woken up and realised that there is more to this person than the way she looks. They always associated me with being glamorous and thought that I could do only a certain type of role. I'm happy I managed to break this notion in people's minds," she said.

Styled from head to toe by stylist Anaita Shroff Adjania, Deepika has no qualms in saying that her chic look in Cocktail has been her favourite so far.

But even though she loved it, she would not like to repeat it just for the sake of winning a similar response.

"The idea is not to repeat Cocktail. It (the look) was very apt for that film. I can't use the same look in another film. Of course, I want to experiment with the look, but I am still playing a character and I need to be true to that," she said.

Unidentified man throws stone at actress Sarah-Jane Dias

Actress Sarah Jane Dias was "ashamed" after a crowd member pelted a stone at her face, during a promotional event of her forthcoming film Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum in Faridabad.

The actress was with the rest of the film's cast when someone from the crowd threw a stone on Monday (July 23, 2012).

She took to Twitter to share her angst, and wrote: "A stone was thrown at me on stage in Faridabad, it hit and hurt my lip, for the first time in my life, I'm truly ashamed of our people."

"It's deeply disheartening to have to say horrible things about my country... but this was uncouth and had it have been someone 'more important' it would not have gone down well," she added.

According to an eyewitness, "Sarah was in tears the moment she was hit and it resulted in slight swelling. However, ice was immediately applied on the injury."

The event was titled an "adult party" and Riteish Deshmukh, Tusshar Kapoor and Neha Sharma were also on the stage.

Following the incident, Sarah and Neha did not stage their performance and were sent back to their van.

"The man who threw the stone could not be identified," the source added.

Sarah says though she isn't happy about the incident, it has failed to dampen her spirits in any way.

"I'm not okay but if they were trying to defeat my spirit, it hasn't worked," Sarah wrote.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum, produced by Ekta Kapoor, is a sex comedy releasing on August 3.

Will Heroine be Kareena Kapoor's The Dirty Picture?

The story of the rise and fall of a leading actress - this could well describe both Kareena Kapoor's still-in-the-making Heroine and Vidya Balan's sleeper hit The Dirty Picture.

Silk Smitha biopic The Dirty Picture fetched Vidya both critical and commercial glory in the form of a National Award and the typically Bollywood-esque tribute of being dubbed the "fourth Khan."

Will Heroine do the same for Kareena? And will she be able to follow Vidya into the no man's land of heroine oriented cinema?

Perhaps it's early days to make comparisons yet, but though Bebo puts her sultriest face forward on the first poster of Heroine, it seems lukewarm next to Vidya's searing appearance on the poster for The Dirty Picture which literally took everyone's breath away when it was released.

Kareena herself calls Heroine a landmark film in her career: "I feel that Heroine is going to be a milestone in my career. I aim to make it one my career-best performances."

Maybe her words prove as prophetic as Vidya's did when she said: "I think the boys are just going to love The Dirty Picture because it is dirty."

Then again, maybe not. Kareena, suddenly struck dumb when it comes to answering questions from the press, seems to be letting the film's first look do the talking. But Heroine's poster hasn't been worth a thousand words thus far.

Looks like it's advantage Balan at the moment, but this will still be an interesting battle of the beauties.
