Guess what!
Priyanka Chopra is the new Guess girl. Does it open doors for celebrities from Bollywood to represent more international apparel brands? We find out…
Priyanka Chopra's elevation to the new Guess girl, from being an A-list actress in Bollywood, and then a singer of international fame has triggered a lot of possibilities. It might just give a clue to other international labels about signing Indian faces as their brand ambassadors. It might just highlight how to woo Indian clients, who are increasing by the day. Or it might explain that Indian celebrities' exposure to the international markets isn't just limited to the red carpet outings at Cannes.

Kay Kay Menon unplugged
Kay Kay Menon is media-shy and is selective about the movies he does. He talks about movies, sports and more. He may not be seen in action that much but he is a very busy man.
Dream come true
Newbie actor Alisa Kkhan, who made her debut with film My Husband's Wife, is all set to star in Vikram Bhatt's upcoming film Aaina opposite Emraan
Hashmi. Talking about her experience, Alisa Kkhan says, "It was a dream come true to work with Emraan Hashmi. It is great to be called his new lady."
Film world set to go silent?
The Western India Motion Picture and Television Sound Engineers Association has issued a non-cooperation directive to its members, asking them to stop work from December 8. If the threat is carried out, it will render several films and television programmes speechless, literally.
Congratulations & celebrations
Bollywood couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan celebrated their daughter Aaradhya's second birthday recently. The theme of the birthday party was fairytale. Therefore, everything from invites to decor to dresses seemed something out of a fairy tale book. Their residence was decorated with lights, balloons and flowers and apparently looked like a fairy tale castle.
Hirani can’t say no
Raj Kumar Hirani is known to be extremely good at everything he does. However, people who are close to the director know for a fact that there is one thing he is not good at. He struggles to say NO. He hates turning down requests or actually saying no to anyone who has approached him for anything.
One story, many versions
Filmmaker Anand Gandhi is going to upload the raw footage of his critically acclaimed film Ship Of Theseus for anybody to edit. In a unique move, he has decided to upload his film, along with over six hours of raw footage online. Film-enthusiasts can download the film and edit it to create their own versions. They can even twist the tale. Gandhi is curious to see different versions of the same film.

True buddies
Pogo and Buddy are two interesting members of Bubbu Tir's family, and her fondness for them is expressed as she speaks about them and of how over these few years, they have become a very important part of her life. "Pogo and Buddy are my babies and are perhaps even more disciplined and affectionate than the ones who I gave birth to," she begins. While Buddy is a three-year-old golden retriever, Pogo is a pug.As she talks about Buddy, Bubbu is reminded of an incident, "This one time, we were getting our house renovated and a lot of stuff was lying out in the open. It was only when a neighbour's maid raised an alarm that Buddy realised that we had an intruder-a thief, who started running away as soon as Buddy came.

Man-made malady
Environment is the concern for all. Yes, it should be. For this, one and all are advised to plant trees and stress is also laid on not damaging or cutting them. Administrative restrictions are imposed on even pruning the trees. Good enough, in a way, but the use of such instructions have to be judicious. There is need to consult horticulturists and the restrictions should be selective.

Hand picked
First there was the facelift, buttock lift and breast lift. Now, there is the hand lift. With age and environmental exposure, hands tend to lose volume, fat and elasticity. The fatty layer of the hand disappears, so the skin becomes translucent, wrinkled and shriveled, and you see underlying structures like bones, tendons and veins. The hands tend to darken and become rough, thus leading to the appearance of aged hands.
Middle-eastern flavour
The City Beautiful will get the taste of cuisines from Mediterranean countries like Egypt, Morocco, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Lebanon and Syria. The Mediterranean Food Festival is being organised at Buzz - Restaurant Lounge & Club-17 from November 20 to December 8.

Buddy effect
Manav Gohil is one chilled out actor; no wonder his career has been on the upswing. After the success of The Buddy Project, Manav got TV show Khelti Hai Zindagi Aankh Micholi. However, he is still great buddies with producer of The Buddy Project Sudhir Sharma.
Sing & dance
No Sooraj Barjatya story is ever complete without its grandeur and celebrations. Even though the festive season came to an end, Star Plus' show Pyar Ka Dard Hain Meetha Meetha Pyara Pyara continued the merriment as one of the most lavish wedding of the season prepares to unfold. Aditya and Pankhuri got married for the second time in the show and this time with elaborate ceremonies, amidst song, dance and more in true Rajshri style.
Fighting on!
Apparently, Candy Brar got Vivek Mishra thrown out of a party at Goa's Sunburn festival. Candy had gone into the Bigg Boss 7 house to confront Vivek, who was disappointed as he was eliminated before her entry. She wanted to question him over his announcement of another contestant Kushal Tandon and Candy's relationship. Looks like she hasn't let it go!
