Priyanka Chopra At an Art Show

Bollywood actresses are not like their Hollywood counterparts.
I don't think they have anything comparable to Paris, Britney and Lindsay.
No, by contrast the actresses in Bollywood seem calm and reserved.
Charity events and art shows seem to be more in line with India.
As evidenced by this appearance by the beautiful Priyanka Chopra.......

Priyanka Chopra At Ayushi Mahajan's Art Show
Oh what a swanky scene at Ayusi Mahajan's art exhibit, held last night in the uber posh five-star Leela Hotel in Mumbai night last. The event that showcased the work of the already flourishing artist, Ayushi Mahajan, probably became a bigger success with the appearance of the gorgeous Bollywood actress and former Miss World winner, Priyanka Chopra. The event was purely put together to display and promote the art of the talented Ayushi Mahajan whose pieces featured at the show ranged from beautiful, calm, cool and tranquil realistic nature scenes which included sunsets and beaches to bright and bold modern, minimalistic, paint splattered art.

Tabu does not feel any pressure to sign loads of movies

Tabu does not feel any pressure to sign loads of movies

Bollywood star Tabu says she does not feel any pressure to sign loads of movies and is confident good roles will continue to come her way.

``I don't feel the rush to do something just for the sake of it. I've come a full circle,'' said Tabu, who is known for portraying strong characters.

Tabu, told a newspaper that she had a lot more to offer, but was in no hurry to star in all the movies offered to her.

About acting, I'll never feel burnout. I'll always feel there's something more I can do,'' Tabu said.

But yes, with the whole process, there's a sense of not needing to do things I don't want to anymore.''

Tabu played a young immigrant bride learning to adjust to life in a foreign land in her recently released movie The Namesake . The movie about an Indian family coping with living in the United States is based on a novel written by Jhumpa Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Indian-born American author.

Tabu also starred opposite Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan in the recently released Cheeni Kum .

Urmila Matondkar sizzles in Mehbooba Mehbooba

Urmila Matondkar sizzles in Mehbooba Mehbooba
01st Aug 2007 23.22 IST
By Nikhil Kumar

Urmila Matondkar will be seen gyrating to the modern version of one of the most famous dance numbers from Hindi cinema.

Like Helen did in the 1975 movie Sholay (directed by Ramesh Sippy), Urmila gets to shake her booty to the addictive tune of Mehbooba Mehbooba in ‘Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag’, which was previously titled Ram Gopal Varma Ki Sholay .

The promos show the hot looking Urmila shaking her enormous bust and booty to the techno composition by choreographer Ganesh Hegde.

The song shows Urmila in a sexy, low-neck, red colored outfit designed by Manish Malhotra . Urmila also gave many tips on her look and styling in the song.

The number has an eerie combination of excitement, fear and sensuality. In it, Urmila plays a modern performer against a jungle backdrop, where an arms deal is taking place between Babban Singh ( Amitabh Bachchan ) and his associates.

Urmila says it was a challenge to imagine Mr. Bachchan as Gabbar Singh and dance in front of him.

The best thing about the song is that the entire team did not try to ape the original Mehbooba Mehbooba number.

Urmila says the whole attempt was to make the song look original. Everything from the music, clothes, setting and ambience has been kept different from the original track.

Apart from all this, a special effort was made to make the song look sensuous. Urmila has flaunted her best and she even got wet because portions of the song show her dancing in water against a waterfall.

I don't have a personal life: Esha Deol

Esha says she's totally dedicated to her career these days.

Work -- that’s where it all ends for Esha Deol right now. "This is because I really don’t have a personal life now and I’m totally dedicated to my work," she confesses. She's not complaining because her work that gives her the biggest high. Esha is looking forward to acting with her mother. "It will be a reality soon. But I’m going to act with Rekha ji even sooner and am looking forward to that. She has seen me as a baby. People like her and my mom are special," she says.

As for her own work a variety of roles keeps her interest alive. As a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, she’s someone who can easily express emotions easily. Which is probably why Esha can switch from one type of role to another with considerable ease. "In Na Tum Jaano Na Hum it was about a relationship kept alive by writing letters, in Just Married it was about a woman in an arranged marriage, and now there's Jannat on the cards. Chemistry is important in such films and I keep observing people to get into the skin of the character," says Esha.

She did her homework for the role in Ankahee where she’s in love with a married man. "I met women who’ve been in that situation to internalise that character," she says.

For Cash, she had to learn to pivot a car 360 degrees. "I did the stunts myself and took special training," she adds.

I’m in love with Bipasha Basu: Sienna Miller

I’m in love with Bipasha: Sienna
Asish Samanta
Friday, July 20, 2007 23:59 IST

After Hours spends an exclusive evening with the British actor in Mumbai…

Sienna is a beauty with brains and with a cause! She recently attended a dinner party hosted by the British Deputy High Commissioner Vicki Treadell at the latter’s residence. Here, Sienna, who is representing IIFA and ‘Global Cool’, charmed the guests with her down-to-earth attitude.

She looked her stunning self in a striped floor-length knit gown. Her cutting edge style sense was obvious in the way she had accessorised her outfit. She wore a set of Amrapali earrings and a bracelet that was gifted to her by Bipasha Basu.

“She also gave me a lovely necklace with all the Goddesses in it. I couldn’t wear it all together, else I’ll look like a Christmas tree,” she quipped.

“I will wear that tomorrow though,” added Sienna who couldn’t stop praising Bipasha. “She is an awesome woman. I have never met anyone who is so beautiful, strong-willed, intelligent and well-spoken,” said Sienna. Bipasha got a Cartier ‘love’ bracelet from Sienna in return for her gesture, “I am in love with Bipasha,” laughed Sienna.

The dinner was also attended by Mehr Jessia and her husband Arjun Rampal and Sienna obliged the shutterbugs present by posing for a photo op with the star couple. Sienna was wearing flat sandals she had earlier bought from Linking Road and joked, “I feel so short in front of you two,” and stood on tip-toe to pose for the pictures with a smirk on her face.

A source revealed that unlike earlier reports Sienna had a great time at Salman’s party and was now looking forward to her trip to Café Leopold’s on Saturday, which she has heard a lot about.

MP and beauty queen back carers week

MP and beauty queen back carers week

CARERS are being reminded they may be entitled to money from a special fund.
Lincolnshire County Council's Carers Fund has given £200 to 750 carers since it was set up last June.
This week is Carers Week and the county council wants to make sure carers are aware of the fund.
MP Quentin Davies did his bit to highlight Carers Week, when he teamed up with former Miss Great Britain, Preeti Desai at a promotional event.
Mr Davies and Preeti are drawing attention to the UK's six million carers – people who look after a loved one who is either ill, frail or disabled – to help them gain the recognition and support they desperately need.

Tuesday, June 19, 2007: (Mumbai):
