The banker will meet with the bank's executives this week to determine his future, according to the Herald Sun.

Lindsay Lohan charged $150k to go for a date with Australian billionaire

Lindsay Lohan charged $  150k to go for a date with Australian billionaireActress Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been paid 150,000 dollars to appear as arm candy for an Austrian billionaire. The 23-year-old singer will reportedly accompany 77-year-old Richard Lugner to the super posh annual event Vienna Opera Ball.

But the actress, who has been in and out of rehab three times, will purportedly have to adhere to "no booze" rules as part of the deal. "We've agreed to pull all the liquor from the mini bar in her hotel room and told staff they must not serve her alcohol," the Daily Star quoted Lugner as saying.

The four-times divorced tycoon was said to have spent a fortune in "hiring" leading ladies, including Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese, as his dates to one of his country's most glittering events.

Carey Mulligan Is No Fair Lady

Carey Mulligan Is No Fair LadyBritish actress Carey Mulligan is the latest star to dismiss rumours she is set to appear as the lead in a big screen remake of My Fair Lady.

Keira Knightley was tipped to take the part of Eliza Doolittle, which was made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 musical, but the Pirates of the Caribbean actress withdrew from the race to land the lead earlier this year (10) after waiting two years for the movie to begin production.

No (it’s not true). I would love to, but I’m not signed on to that.Carey Mulligan

Natalie Portman was subsequently rumoured to be in the running for the role, but a spokesperson for the 28 year old brushed off the rumours as “not true”.

Mulligan was then named as favourite to land the part, but she has now spoken out to dismiss reports she has signed up to the movie.

She tells FemaleFirst, “No (it’s not true). I would love to, but I’m not signed on to that.”

Movie Review : ‘Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya’ entertains and touches your heart

Some love stories are just so sweet, more so, when real life couples romance on reel. Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is one of those. No extraordinary story or no unique formula, no major histrionics, yet, this romantic-comedy entertains and touches your heart.

Mini (Genelia D’Souza) is an educated, fun-loving daughter of businessman, Bhatti (Tinnu Anand), who wants to marry her off to a rich jaat, Sunny, who in turn wants the permit Mini holds as his entry into “Caneda” aka Canada.

But the feisty Mini, who loves life and adventure, will have none of that.

Viren (Riteish Deshmukh), who drives Bhatti’s rickshaw, is a simpleton with dreams of starting a travel agency with a fleet of cars for which he is painstakingly saving money.

Bhatti sells off all his rickshaws one day with Viren’s savings of Rs.60,000 in it. Egged on by his friends to drown his sorrows, Viren guzzles a few drinks and in a drunken stupor lands up at Bhatti’s doorstep demanding his money back, while Mini’s engagement is in progress.

An argument ensues and Viren lays his hands on a pistol. In the commotion, Mini seizes the opportunity and forces Viren to kidnap her and makes him drive them off in the waiting vehicle.

The spunky Mini makes a deal with Viren that he will follow her instructions and will demand a ransom of Rs.10 lakh from her father. He can then have his Rs.60,000 and she will keep the rest as she does not want to go back home and marry.

While the ransom letter goes to Mini’s father, the couple enter into someone’s home and try to make ends meet. In the process, they fall in love and are happy being with each other.

The story takes a twist when Mini’s fiance along with her father comes to pay the ransom amount but actually fools them and starts firing, hoping to take Mini back.

Suddenly, Mini and Viren are kidnapped by another person and taken away to the Chowdhary’s haveli.

Chowdhary (Om Puri) is a notorious kidnapping kingpin, who makes a living out of demanding ransom. Just when you think Puri is a villain of sorts and some never-ending torture drama a la 1980′s Hindi films, will unfold, we discover that Viren alias “chotu” is Om Puri and Smita Jayakar’s son.

Disapproving of his father’s ways, Viren has left home six years ago to work in Patiala as a rickshaw driver.

Follow your heart and not your head when you watch this comedy directed by debutant Mandeep Kumar. The sincere effort to make a light hearted, fun, love story shines through.

Genelia as the spirited Mini is adorable and delivers an energetic performance. She looks fresh, gorgeous and does full justice to Mini’s insanities and pranks. Riteish plays Viren to the hilt. He is earnest, restrained, but you have seen him do this before.

The duo lights up the screen with their palpable, but understated chemistry. Tinnu Anand and Om Puri expectedly deliver good performances.

Sachin Jigar’s music compliments the film. “Main vaari janwa” tugs at your heart strings. The title song “Tere naal” also brings out the flavour of the film.

However, Veena Malik’s item number – “Fan ban gayi” – fails to elicit whistles or fans.

Cinematographer Chirantan Das impresses by beautifully capturing wonderful locales in rural Punjab and scenic Himachal Pradesh.

Enjoy watching a sweet love story with the now Mr & Mrs Deshmukh as the lead pair. Trust me, it is entertaining enough.

Kangana to play Mandakini in ‘OUATIM Sequel’!

Earlier this month, Kareena Kapoor opted out from the film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2 which is to be produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by the talented Milan Luthria. Now reports have it that it’s Kangana Ranaut who would replace her and play Mandakini in the film.

After Kareena walked off from the project earlier this month, it was tough for Ekta and director Milan Luthria to find a suitable replacement for her in the sequel. Now, the tinsel town is abuzz with rumours that Ekta Kapoor has finally found her heroine for the sequel of her superhit film, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (OUATIM). Kangana Ranaut is said to be playing Dawood Ibrahim’s (Akshay Kumar) alleged love interest in the sequel.

Why Kangana Ranaut? According to sources, a couple of names were considered, but somewhere the makers felt that a performing actress was more needed than a starry name. Initially they weren’t considering Kangana as she has already played an actress, Rehana in the first OUATIM. But when it comes to acting who else could do justice to the role of Mandakini than Kangana.

Besides, Akshay-Kangana is also a novel combination, as the two haven’t been featured together yet. And a new pairing also helps to built up curiosity for a film which in a way is good for the marketing and promotion, adds the source.

Since nothing is on the papers yet, Kangana Ranaut’s name is still not confirmed to the media.

Bachchan family to conduct naming ceremony of Beti B after Amitabh’s discharge

While Amitabh Bachchan is recovering at the Seven Hills Hospital in Mumbai after going through abdominal surgeries, the star is eager to come back home. The main reason for his excitement is that the family is now planning for a naming ceremony of their most loved family member Beti B.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's first child is at present referred as Beti B and is yet to be named. The family is now waiting for the proud grandfather to return home so that they can conduct the naming ceremony.

Reports say that the family has already finalized on the name and will be revealing it only after a formal naming ceremony. As for senior Bachchan, he is now showing signs of improvement and will soon be discharged from the hospital.

The nurses in the hospital are taking special care of the star and are also fighting for shifts to remain maximum time with Amitabh. Beti B was born on November 16, 2011 at the same hospital where Amitabh is being admitted for his abdominal surgery. Amitabh had earlier mentioned in his blog that he has to go through a minor surgery after which he will be completely fine. But some of the later reports revealed that the actor had acute pain after the surgery.


`Aashiqui 2` about Mahesh Bhatt`s first love

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who is all set to make the sequel to his 1990 hit musical ‘Aashiqui’, says the film was autobiographical as it was based on the story of his first love.

“The best kept secret about Aashiqui is that it is also an autobiographical film, as it deals with the story of my very first love,” Bhatt tweeted today.

‘Aashiqui’, directed by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Gulshan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt, starred Anu Agarwal and Rahul Roy. The film was a commercial success and its songs became hugely popular.

Bhatt also revealed that the sequel to the film is the result of a dream he and record company owner Gulshan Kumar had seen years ago.

“’Make me a musical love story and I promise you that the movie will remain in the hearts of every Indian for decades to come..’ he (Gulshan) said.

“21 yrs later, Bhushan Kumar and Mohit Suri have come together to dream the same dream that we did twenty one years ago,” Bhatt added.

“Aashiqui 2 will dare to rise up to the expectations ignited by this ageless musical and continue the legacy…”

Kareena Kapoor too beautiful to direct film, says Karan Johar

After the reports which claimed that Kareena Kapoor will be directing a movie for Karan Johar, the film maker said that she is too beautiful to be a director. Some of the earlier reports said that Karan might give Kareena a movie to direct after she gets married to Saif Ali Khan.

When asked the producer of 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu', he laughs the reports and said that it is not at all true and that Kareena is a great actress and should remain one. Johar added that he would never give her the job of a director as she is too beautiful for that.

Reports say that Bebo had made a few worthwhile suggestions towards the script of the movie 'Ek Main Au Ekk Tu'. There are chances that the actor might cast Imran Khan and Kareena once again in another movie.

Karan said that he would love to as the pair has been accepted and people have loved them. The producers of the movie EMAET, Dharma Productions and UTV Motion Pictures collected Rs 29 crores within five days of its release in the domestic market. The movie has also crossed the $ 2.3 million mark overseas. A very satiated film maker said that he is very happy that Kareena is being praised for her performance.


Excited Wife Sophie Dahl Speaks about her spouse

Excited Wife Sophie Dahl Speaks about her spouseThe 32-year-old model-turned-author – who married jazz musician Jamie Cullum in January – is still getting used to married life but gets a thrill out of speaking about her spouse.

She said: “My husband is a good cook. I love saying ‘husband’. It’s funny that something so universal should make you so excited to say.”

My husband is a good cook. I love saying ‘husband’. It’s funny that something so universal should make you so excited to say.

Sophie – the granddaughter of late children’s writer Roald Dahl – and Jamie tied the knot in a small low-key ceremony and are pleased they kept the ceremony private.

She said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “Making that promise is a sacred thing and not really for anyone else. It’s to be witnessed by your close family and your close friends, and that’s it. It was wonderful and joyful, and that’s all I want to say.

“There is a reason why we didn’t want to have our wedding ‘out there’ as a lot of people do, and I want to remain true to that. I think one has to be allowed to have things that are the property of your own heart and this is one of them.”

Husband Jamie has previously spoken about how he and Sophie have always shunned the showbiz lifestyle.

He said: “I live an extremely unglamorous life. I choose to hang out with my friends who aren’t in that world and I choose to go to concerts and to the pub and play soccer.

“To be honest, I’m a geek and so is Sophie. We’re just two people who met and swiftly fell totally in love. That’s the end of the story.”

Deepika Padukone returns to Race 2 on her own conditions

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone after facing enough criticism has decided to get back in to the Race 2 project, which she had opted out earlier. The actress has decided to return to the film but on her own conditions, which the makers have to consider.

The 'Om Shanti Om' actress was earlier severely criticised for opting out of the movie and leaving the producers starving for a replacement. Producer Ramesh Taurani decided to demand heavy compensation from the actress which she could not afford.

Deepika was then asked to return to the project instead of getting in to the monetary hassles. CINTAA general secretary said that the makers and the actress have had a meeting and the actress might soon give her dates to the producers.

The actress on the other hand will be keeping her own conditions in front of the producers after which it would be upon the makers to decide. Padukone has recently been roped in for the lead role in the upcoming Tamil movie 'Kochadaiyaan' opposite super star Rajnikanth. The movie will be directed by Rajni's daughter Soundarya and will be made using technology that has never been used to make an Indian film. Rajni in the movie will be seen doing his own stunts.

Judd Apatow not too keen on 3D sex

Judd Apatow not too keen on 3D sexFilm producer/director Judd Apatow has revealed that he still has reserves about using 3D, especially when it comes to sex scenes.

Apatow, 42, who is behind raunchy comedies such as 'Knocked Up', 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' and 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall', which saw Jason Segel strip off, believes that sex scenes in 3D is a little too close for comfort.

"I don't want everything in 3D because I don't want to be in the middle of everything," the Sun quoted him as saying.

"Sometimes I want to be distant from it… I don't think anyone wants to see Jason Segel's penis in 3D," he added.


Amitabh Bachchan’s stay in hospital extended due to fresh medical issues

After successfully going through a surgery on Saturday, new health issues have surfaced for the super star Amitabh Bachchan. The 69 year old actor complained of acute pain after going through two abdominal surgeries.

Bachchan was due to be discharged on February 13 or 14 but will now be kept under observation till the end of the week. The doctors have advised the actor to remain in the hospital for an extended period.

The 69 year old actor on his blog revealed, “I seek forgiveness…I will not be detailing any more…some fresh medical issues have come up, and I need to concentrate on the treatment now,” . The update from the blog has indicated that the condition of the actor might be bit serious.

Amitabh has constantly remained in touch with his extended family through his tweets and blogs. Whether it is the good news of him becoming a grandfather or about his health, the actor has shared everything with his fans. Bachchan is now being treated at the Seven Hills Hospital in Mumbai and is looked after by wife Jaya Bachchan and daughter Shweta Nanda.

Oscar Winner Best Actress in 2009 and 2010 Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet

Oscar Winner Best Actress in 2009 and 2010 Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet They turn heads on the red carpet, are besieged by the world’s top designers, give tearful acceptance speeches, and go home with a little gold man called Oscar.

But shortly after many actresses win the movie industry’s highest honour, their most important relationships fall apart in what has become known in Hollywood as the “Oscar curse.”

Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet, the 2010 and 2009 best actress Oscar winners, this week joined Halle Berry (2002), Julia Roberts (2001), Reese Witherspoon (2006) and Hilary Swank (2005) on that list.

Bullock’s husband of five years, motorcycle enthusiast Jesse James, responded to allegations of cheating on Bullock with an apology on Thursday for the grief he had caused. The reasons behind the separation of Winslet from her film director husband Sam Mendes have so far remained private.

Tom O’Neil of the awards website TheEnvelope.com, pondered the link between such breakups and Oscar glory.

“Is it because victory goes to their heads and these women become impossible divas?,” O’Neil wrote in a blog. “Or is it because their men are overly macho types who can’t tolerate being upstaged?”

In Bullock’s case, In Touch Weekly magazine this week quoted a model in California as saying she slept with James while his wife was in Atlanta last year filming what would be her Oscar-winning role in dramatic movie The Blind Side.

New York divorce lawyer Paul Talbert dismissed the notion of an Oscar curse, saying such breakups were more likely a result of long absences by one partner in a marriage.

“The reality is that these women are extremely successful, hard working women who must spend months away from their families shooting and promoting their films,” Talbert said.

“It is no different than the situations of high income New York families where one spouse is often on the road several times per month raising capital for their hedge funds or researching businesses to invest in,” he added.

But Hollywood can bring extra temptations in the form of beautiful men and women and the intimacy that can spring from long hours on film sets, especially in romantic scenes. And while nearly 50 percent of marriages fail, it seems the stars have an especially hard time making marriage work.

“Celebrities are uniquely exposed to a lot of very attractive people,” said Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief of website HollywoodLife.com. “You have to be especially strong to resist that.”

Bullock’s recent Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild acceptance speeches were ironically peppered with heartfelt tribute to James, who despite brief appearances in a number of TV reality shows does not move in A-list circles.

“You get dressed up in monkey suits, and you sit at a table with people you don’t know. I love you so much, and you’re really hot!,” she told him, and the world, in February.

Yet for some men, playing second fiddle in such high profile occasions may be too much to take, said Fuller.

“A lot of guys cannot handle a strong, successful woman, and the Oscar has to be one of ultimate accolades one can receive,” she said.

Amitabh Bachchan’s surgery was a success!

We had reported about Amitabh Bachchan all set to undergo a surgery for abdominal pain on Saturday. Well, the surgery went off well and now the actor is on complete rest at the Seven Hills Hospital in Mumbai.
Abhishek Bachchan confirmed the news on Twitter: “Thank you all for your wishes and prayers. The surgery went off well and dad is now in the room resting.”
A doctor said, “He is very stable… I will not comment on his medical condition, it is his personal thing. 
All I can say is that he underwent an abdomen surgery.”
Well, we are not very sure as to how long will Big B take to recover from the surgery.

An hour with Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu

They can talk for hours but prefer hard-core debates to sweet nothings. She loves him but loves Scrabble a little more. He accepts he can’t beat her at it but puts up a fight just to agonise her. He loves mindless action films which put her to sleep. She loves salads and soups which he considers ghaas-phoos. She cringes every time she sees him indulge in fats and carbs. She is true blue royalty and he is a Kashmiri migrant in Mumbai. 
They are opposite ends of the spectrum and yet Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu can’t get enough of each other.
The couple have been together for over two years now. In an exclusive interview and photo shoot over lunch at Bandra’s swish restaurant, Bungalow 9, they opened up about their love story.

How did you guys meet?
Kunal: We actually met on the sets of Dhoondte Reh Jaoge but we didn’t connect at that time. I didn’t even have her number after we finished shooting the film. I thought she was too intelligent for me.

Soha: I didn’t really feel like we had much in common. I asked him how he liked to spend his free time, and he said he preferred staying in and watching movies. And I thought to myself, what a bore! 

 So how did that perception change?
Kunal: When we worked on 99, we spent more time together. I had heard of the Soha Ali Khan but I didn’t think she would be this quick-witted person. I knew of her blood line, that she studied at Oxford and was a banker. I felt she would only be interested in people with a high IQ (I’m not saying I don’t have one). But she’s a very humble person.

Soha: I was very attracted to Kunal – his eyes and smile. I knew he was someone I would want to spend a few evenings with. He is very complex while I am more on the surface. I was very intrigued. Some days he was extremely introverted, other days he would chat you up. He kept me on my toes all the time and I like that in a man.

What attracted you to each other?
Kunal: Had we had the same stories to share, we wouldn’t have much to talk about. Soha still finds my stories extremely funny, especially the one where my friends and I barged into a wedding just so we could eat.

Soha: For me, he is someone who has lived life on his own terms and is a self-made man. It’s not just the stories. He’s an interesting person who is sensitive towards other people and has the ability to deal with different and tough circumstances. I draw comfort from the fact that no matter what happens tomorrow, good or bad, he will be grounded because he has seen it all. That gives me a sense of security.

What was your first date like?
Kunal: We actually don’t remember our first date and neither do we believe in remembering dates. We just started hanging out and one thing led to another and soon we were seeing each other.

Soha: The first time Kunal and I went out together was for The Dark Knight. And he arrived 20 minutes late. So I don’t think that qualifies as a date. Another time, he took me out for dinner but we chose a restaurant with super swift service and the meal got over in 15 minutes flat. And even during that joke of a dinner date, he didn’t talk to me much. I was upset because I thought he wasn’t interested in me but after more dinner dates, I realised it’s impossible to talk to Kunal over a meal because he loves his food more than his woman.

 You are surrounded by good looking people all the time. How do you deal with attraction?
Soha: You will always find men and women attractive but there’s a difference between thinking and acting. It’s impossible to control what you think but it is possible to control your action and that’s the important thing.
Kunal: I have generally never committed to things in my life but I am very committed to this relationship. Soha is one of my best friends and sometimes I treat her like a friend more than a girlfriend. Sometimes I even talk about other women to her. Even though I appreciate other beautiful women, what gives me more happiness is to have Soha in my life and the thought that she is the woman I will go back home to.

Where does your relationship stand today?
Soha: We communicate very well. On days when we’re feeling insecure, vulnerable or possessive, we manage to talk things through. And even when we fight, we talk it out immediately. People ask us when we’re planning to take it to the next level but we don’t need to take this relationship anywhere. We’re already committed to each other. I don’t think more is required.

Kunal: It’s in a beautiful place. We communicate well and trust each other. I think we’re also very used to each other by now. Is infidelity a deal breaker?
Kunal: Yes.

Soha: I’d like to believe that I am someone who can forgive a random fling. If Kunal was to fall in love with someone else and cheat on me then of course it’s a deal breaker. But I feel I could forgive a temporary fling.

How do you deal with insecurities?
Soha: It’s natural to have insecurities but I can’t make his life miserable just because I am feeling insecure about a scene he is doing with another actress. I have to deal with it myself and my only expectation from him would be that he is kind to me.

Kunal: I admit that I am very possessive. She doesn’t admit it, but she is. I am yet to discover how I would deal with insecurity. I do know there is a lot of pain sometimes but you need to deal with it and communicate what you’re feeling. 
What makes you jealous?
Soha: If I am in an insecure place, I will be jealous as well. So if Kunal finds a woman attractive and I don’t, I wouldn’t be jealous of him having dinner with her. But if I find a woman attractive and so does Kunal, then him even commenting on her hair drives me up the wall.

Kunal: I am a Gemini so I deal with situations differently. Sometimes even if a common friend holds Soha’s hand, I get jealous. But other days, she can go out for dinner and dancing with someone and I wouldn’t think much about it. So I don’t know actually. I am cool and painful at the same time.

Soha: Over the years, we have slowly understood our relationship’s threshold. I have seen that for some people, it is fine if their partner goes for vacations or parties with another person. We are not that couple. Neither are we the your-ex-can-crash-on-your-couch sort. And it took me a while to adhere to these limits because I used to do things without caring for how he’d feel. But now I understand him. 

Are you die-hard romantics?
Kunal: Well, we are definitely not the I-can-do-anything-for-you type romantics. We are a lot more practical than that. And we’re not the let’s-buy-fancy-gifts kind either. Just because I don’t buy her the best diamond doesn’t mean I don’t love her and she knows that.

Soha: All I know is that I wouldn’t give this up for anything in the world. True love is about finding someone who accepts you with your flaws and doesn’t try to change you.

Future plans?
Kunal:
We’re in a happy place and don’t want that to change as of now.

Soha: I don’t believe in planning. I live in the moment and when I feel the time is right, Kunal and I will take a step ahead. But right now, I like where the relationship is and don’t want things to change at all.

Make-up tactic after a fight…
