Honey sticks to originality
He lifted his lungi, wrapped it around, crossed Bootnath's alleys, hit the blue paani after two shots of vodka, partied hard and continued the 'tradition' on the stage of his first reality show - Yo Yo Honey Singh hit the Bollywood music industry like a hurricane, creating an uproar that can now be heard on his show as well. The music director, singer, rapper turns mentor for his first reality show, India's Raw Star for Star Plus.
Yo Yo Honey Singh does not conform to a style statement
The lowdown on lowers
When was the last time you saw a fashionable woman wear jeans? Or, alternately, when was the last time you saw a woman wearing jeans and thought to yourself 'this one looks hot!'? If you can't put a finger on the memory, you too are in the long list of fashion enthusiasts who are bored to death of the denim trend. And, in your heart, you know the effervescent jeans aren't really as comfortable as they're touted to be.
The stage beckons…
He is a new man - blank eyes, undulated expressions, letting you in on his patterned thoughts - he has moved into something deep, deeper than the smile that his name has come to be synonymous with. Actor Rana Ranbir has moved to another stage. He had stood here almost 18 years ago, looking at the audience who watched him with rapt attention.

Casting for Mary Kom
That is for the producers to say. I don't know if the film would not be as big if it had a newcomer or an actress from the North-East. All I can say is that I was very excited when the film came to me. No actor would have said no to the chance of playing Mary
Kom. I met her many times, stayed with her and with her help I have tried to portray her personality, her work and her struggles.
Tahir on cloud nine
Tahir Raj Bhasin, who is seen as a child trafficker in Mardaani, is on cloud nine as Aamir Khan praised him for his acting skills. Aamir took to Twitter to share his views and in his tweet he had also mentioned Tahir as being superb in the film. The film has been made tax-free in three states.
From theatres to book shelves!
Homi Adajania's upcoming film is set to release soon and the director reveals that it was adapted from a 200 page novel, which will also hit stands next year.
"My co-writer, Kersi Khambatta, wrote the novel based on my short story titled Finding Fanny, and then we used that to develop the screenplay. My only issue was that I told him to keep the book on ice until the film was out," says Homi
Adajania.
Coming soon: A still from Finding Fanny
Jessica is a mother on the go
Sin City 2 star Jessica Alba says she is too independent to be a stay-at-home mother.
The 33-year-old actress, who has children Honor, six, and two-year-old Haven, with husband Cash Warren, says she likes to still do movies because she wants to set an example for her children to show them they can go out and work to pay their own way in life, reported a website.

Ode to the city
It is not until Priyanka Chopra perched on Pitbull's lap, in Exotic, talks of being taken to 'Mumbai Cuba' or being as hot as the Tropic. Or for that matter In My City, where she feverishly paints a lovely picture of her city through psychedelic lights and lyrics that say, "I know there's no place like home, But I know you gonna like it in my city." Places don't just qualify for patriotic fervour but even lyrical melodies. The ever beautiful Hotel California by the Eagles being just a case in point. Taking stock of just a few of the countless popular songs dedicated to different cities.

Forgive and forget
Why did my friend say such nasty words to me? You can spend the whole day in stress because you just can't get over it. You simply can't stop thinking of something unfair that happened that morning, even though a week has gone by the words are still fresh in your mind. Well this is a human tendency to obsess,t rying to work things in the mind. This is a common habit with a lot of us, but when these thoughts start turning more negative and brooding we term it as ''rumination''.
