Aishwarya overwhelmed on receiving French award on birthday

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan was honoured by France with a prestigious civilian award for her contribution to art on Thursday on her birthday.

Francois Richier, Ambassador of France to India was present to confer the honour of 'Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters' (Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres), the second highest civilian French honour on her.

"I want to thank the French government for honouring me with this award. It is truly overwhelming," Aishwarya told reporters here.

"Also, I take this opportunity to thank everyone who I have worked with as they made it possible for me to have such a glorious career," she said.

Aishwarya's entire family including husband Abhishek, in-laws Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya were present.

Aishwarya, who turned 39 today, took the Miss World crown in 1994 and made her acting debut in 1997. She starred in films in various languages including English, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali. She is a regular on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

Her father-in-law, megastar Amitabh Bachchan was awarded France's highest civilian award, the Legion d'Honneur in 2007.

One can recollect that in 2009, Aishwarya was to be conferred upon the same award but she did not accept it because her father Krishnaraj Rai was unwell.

Twilight, Justin Bieber dominate at Teen Choice Awards 2012

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.

Among the attendees were Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and lovebirds Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez even as the Twilight Saga made the big win. Both Justin Bieber and the Twilight saga hogged the limelight.

The hit film series on supernatural powers has won the maximum with an astounding 41 awards since its launch in 2008, including awards earned this year for the Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

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.

Selena Gomez Wows In Hot Pink And Turns 20 At Teen Choice Awards

Not only did she win big at the Teen Choice Awards yesterday, but Selena Gomez managed to top the style stakes and turn 20 at the same time.

Selena left her teen years in a stunning hot pink minidress by Dsquared2 which accentuated her tiny waist with a kicky skirt and drop-waist pleats. The dress was from the brand’s Resort 2013 collection and looked great against Selena’s sunkissed skin.

And Bieber’s lady thought she’s add a touch of simplistic elegance to the vibrant frock with a towering pair of cream Herve Ledger sandals which elongated her slender legs and gave her some model height.
The Spring Breakers actress wore her long, brunette and dip-dyed tresses in a sleek, straight style and sported a sultry make-up look of smokey eyes and sheer pink lips. She kept accessories to a bare minimum to avoid detracting from the statement dress, only wearing a simple pair of metallic drop earrings.

Selena took home the Choice Music Group for her band ‘Selena Gomez and the Scene’ at the 14th annual Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, with a crowd of thousands at Los Angeles’s Gibson Amphitheatre celebrated Selena’s birthday, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ for the newly 20-year-old starlet.

"This is the best birthday present ever," Selena said upon receiving her Teen Choice surf board at the ceremony.

Josh Hutcherson Lands Choice Sci-Fi Actor, Best Liplock

After a momentous year on the big screen, Josh Hutcherson made his way to the 2012 Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, CA on Sunday (July 22).

The 19-year-old big screen stud sent the crowd into a frenzy as he appeared onstage at the Gibson Amphitheatre venue after having skipped out on the jam-packed arrivals carpet.

Among the big winners during the course of the ceremony, Hutcherson nabbed Choice Movie Actor: Sci-Fi/Fantasy accolades along with Choice Movie Liplock for his steamy smooch with "The Hunger Games" co-star Jennifer Lawrence.

With Josh & co.'s blockbuster movie also nabbing Choice Movie Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Choice Book surfboards, the first installment from the popular franchise fared quite well for itself at the Teen Choice ceremony hosted by Demi Lovato and Kevin McHale.

Sonakshi was terrified to do item song in front of dad in IIFA Awards 2012

Sonakshi Sinha was recently set to sizzle the stage with her dance performance at IIFA Awards and was quite confident about her item number as well. Until she got to know who would be watching it.




While she was performing and showing off her thumkas to the audience, seated on the first row was her father, veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha.

The actress was very petrified and anxious about whether he would approve of her dance moves or not. So much so that she literally broke into a sweat.

But soon Sonakshi gained composure and held the fort. She completed the song as a true, thorough entertainer. While her performance was appreciated by one and all, we are yet to hear what her dad had to say.

Vidya came on the dais in a rose pink-coloured sari with her hair neatly tied in a bun to receive the award.

The ceremony, hosted by actors Vinay Pathak and Saumya Tandon, witnessed performances by Anand Bhate, who won the best playback singer (male) title for Balgandharva, and Roopa Ganguly, who won the same award in the female category for the Bengali film Abosheyshey.

In the music category, composer Neel Dutt won the best songs award for Bengali rock musical “Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na“. Mayookh Bhaumik bagged the background score honour for Bengali film Laptop.

Aamir Khan's 'Dhobi Ghat' misses BAFTA nomination

Aamir Khan's 'Dhobi Ghat' which was on the BAFTA Longlist failed to make it to the final five nominations for Best Film Not in English Language category.

The award season is in full bloom. The Golden Globes happened yesterday and now the nominations for the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards are out.

Aamir Khan Production's Dhobi Ghat was on the BAFTA Longlist - the Top 15 films being considered for the Best Film Not in English Language category. Unfortunately the film directed by Aamir Khan's wife Kiran Rao failed to make it to the final list of Top 5 nominations at BAFTA. The five films which finally made it to the list include Incendies, Pina, Potiche, A Separation and The Skin I Live In.

Aamir Khan who has shunned all the Indian popular film award functions has been constantly vying for global recognition with foreign award functions. His first production Lagaan was nominated at the Oscars. Rang De Basanti made it to the final five nominated at BAFTA for the Best Film Not in English Language.

Madonna scoops Best Original Song award at the Golden Globes

Madonna took the award for Best Original Song at last night's (January 15) Golden Globes awards ceremony in Los Angeles. 
The singer, who announced last week that she will release her 12th studio album 'MDNA' on March 12, won the award for the song 'Masterpiece', which is taken from the soundtrack to W.E, a film she also directed.

During her acceptance speech at The Beverly Hilton hotel, Madonna thanked her manager and movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who she called "the punisher" and also thanked him "for believing in my film." She added: "Thank you for my film."

The singer also presented the award for Best Foreign Language Film and enjoyed a joke at the expense of host Ricky Gervais, who had introduced her by saying she was "just like a virgin".

Speaking before she presented the award, she said: "If I'm still just like a virgin, Ricky. Then why don't you come over here and do something about it. I haven't kissed a girl in a few years. On TV."

Nine Inch Nails mainman Trent Reznor failed to take home the award for Best Original Score for the second year in succession after winning last year for his soundtrack to The Social Network. This year his and Atticus Ross' score for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo lost out to Ludovic Bource's score for The Artist.

When SRK kissed Katrina

Mumbai: We all know for a fact that Shah Rukh Khan loves attending award functions and becomes the centre of attraction in no time! His aura and charm are simply matchless and he steals the show even when there are sizzling hot women around him, raring to set the temperature soaring.

Even as news of SRK-Gauri’s alleged troubled married life is still making headlines, the Badshah of Bollywood whisked the rumours by going a step further! He kissed Katrina Kaif on her left cheek during a performance at the recently concluded 18 annual Screen Awards.

The lady looked stunning in a pink chiffon sari as she teamed it up with a golden halter neck blouse. And King Khan looked charming in black.

SRK took to the Twitter to express his excitement and wrote, “Too much fun with Vidya..Madhuri..Katrina...Sajid. Hope the audience enjoys it too. Now looking forward to Zee after screen awards..loving it.”

Well, the audiences will certainly like it Mr Khan but we really wonder what your arch rival and long-time foe Salman has to say!

Shah Rukh And Kareena named most profitable actors

Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have been named the most profitable actors of the Hindi film industry in India and abroad respectively by ETC Bollywood Business Awards. Kareena Kapoor, who featured in Bodyguard and RA.One in 2011 opposite the two actors, has been titled the most profitable actor in the female category.

"Receiving an award wherein you are being adjudged considering the economic quotient as a cornerstone for mapping the success gives you a sense of pride. I've always maintained that commercial success is as important as the critical success of a movie. A commercially successful movie pays evidence to the fact that viewers loved watching your movie," Kareena said in a press statement.

Salman's Bodyguard, the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film by the same name, was titled the top grosser of the year. The film's director Siddique, walked away with the most profitable director's trophy.

SRK's mega-budget dream project RA.One was recognised as the best marketed film of the year and also bagged an award under the highest single day collection category.

Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor pose with their award.
 "Now I can safely say har mulk ki public mujhe dhoondti hai. RA.One, Bollywood's most expensive movie, was my dream project. It feels great that my long cherished dream has been applauded and acknowledged," said Shah Rukh.

"Allah has been very kind to me and helped me to entertain my audiences and it is quite literally my audiences' love that has fetched me these awards. Inshallah! I'll continue to entertain my audiences and make it to this award in years to come," he added.

Other films like Pyaar Ka Panchnaama, The Dirty Picture, Don 2:The King Is Back and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol bagged awards for being the most successful small budget Film, ETC Box Office surprise of the year, most popular first look of a film and most successful foreign film respectively.

The ETC Bollywood Business Awards will be aired on Monday.
