It has been recently reported in the media that Deepika hinted at Ranbir's philandering ways when she said in an interview that in all her relationships she has been the one who has given more and has been more devoted. In fact if reports are to be believed then Deepika has been said that she is the forgiving types and can forgive a transgression if it happens once. But if it happens more than that then probably there is something missing in the relationship.

It has been widely reported that Shiney Ahuja is going to take part in Bigg Boss 4. Shiney Ahuja was embroiled in the infamous rape case where he was accused of having raped his maid servant. There were various versions in the media about the alleged crime.

Bigg Boss which is known for taking controversial celebrities as contestants would land a coup if they manage to get Shiney to star in their show. The public at large are curious to know Shiney's side of the story and he gets to play to the gallery to the hilt if he does star in the fourth season of Bigg Boss.

Happened to see Indian Idol 5 recently. The three idiots were there as well, viz Raju, Sharman & Aamir. While it was good fun to watch the show and we got to see some amazing singing, what we did not get to see was the fun that should have happened considering that we had the stars and makers of the biggest Indian film of all time. I was immediately reminded about how different the show would have been if SRK would have been there. SRK has such energy and effervescence that he can turn even the most boring program to an event that truly rocks.

Just happened to see a delightful coming of age movie called “Udaan”. It did work for me. Made by the same talented group who made “DevD” Udaan makes a statement. Void of any gloss and make up the movie shows the growing up of a 17 year old boy in a small town – Jamshedpur and how he deals with a cold and almost heartless father.

Riding high on the success and critical acclaim that was given to "Paa", actress Vidya Balan seems to be on a roll these days. If some people didn't like "Paa", they were seen gushing about Vidya's performance in "Ishqiya". Yes, she did rock that one!

Beautiful Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone made her Cannes debut recently. The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most popular destinations for the rich, gorgeous and famous celebrities from the entertainment world. This is an event where very few Indian celebrities are invited, and fewer get to walk the red carpet. This is also an event where every celebrity who walks the red carpet faces criticism from the fashion police.

So how did Deepika fare at her Cannes debut?

When someone is constantly referred to as "Khiladi", you expect him to be something of a sport. When someone constantly plays the part of a "dumb-sweet" bumpkin, you expect him to at least have a sense of humor. Don't you?

But it seems that apna "Khiladi Kumar" Akshay has neither a sporting attitude, nor a sense of humor in real life. His onscreen characters may be all fun and goody-goody, but in real life, he's quite a different character. This was revealed to everyone, especially director Karan Johar, very recently.

Rakesh Roshan's Kites is undoubtedly the film that has been waited for the most. Everyone seems to be wondering if the Roshans plan to release the movie at all! After all, it's been almost a year now since they took "Kites" to international film festivals. So why does the audience back home need to wait so long to watch the film? The ever changing release date of "Kites" has made it the butt of many jokes indeed. But why?

Rakhi Sawant is one babe who will never compromise or take things lying down. We have heard a million complaints about the Censor Board from disgruntled producers and directors. But it takes a Rocky Sawant to challenge the Censor Board and question their intent and capability.

This is the era of clever marketing and Bollywood films are a prime example. Many sub standard films have tasted phenomenal success due to the creative genius of people who marketed them. The most prominent example is Aamir Khan's "Ghajini". Post Ghajini, Bollywood film makers have realised that properly selling a film is as important (if not more) as properly making it. So today we have all these smart producers and directors coming up with strange and new ways of promoting their films. Some of these marketing strategies are really interesting and a few are downright tacky!
