	Together forever Former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler has reportedly moved in with actor boyfriend George Clooney at his Los Angeles home. Keibler, who had spent most of the summer with Clooney at his home in Lake Como, Italy, has now shifted to his bachelor pad, making their friends believe that their relationship has become serious, reported a publication. "She's 100 per cent moved in with him, she spends her summers at Lake Como in Italy and all her stuff is at his place in Los Angeles. "While she maintains a small rent controlled apartment in West Hollywood, she uses it as a storage space for mementos and personal items. All her clothes are at George's and she never goes home," a source said. Clooney, 51, is said to have told his friends that the 32-year-old is the perfect match for him because she isn't clingy like his past girlfriends. — PTI
	Zac finds dating tough Zac Efron may have wooed many a young actress but the Hollywood actor finds dating awkward. The 24-year-old actor, who has dated actresses Lily Collins and Jennifer Hudgens, confirmed that he is regretfully single, reported a publication. "Dating is kind of hard. A forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason. I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity," said Efron. After briefly romancing Collins, 23, earlier this year, Efron acknowledged that dating in the public eye presents a different set of challenges. "You always have to be careful, I guess, about that kind of thing. Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes. Some people I worry about, some I really don't have to." Efron also talked about dancing in his underwear opposite Nicole Kidmman, 45, in the upcoming drama The Paperboy. "It was a sort of intense dramatic moment for me. I was very prepared to give my all in a dramatic moment, and before I knew it, music started to turn up around me and she kind of looked at me and said, 'You want to dance?' And they're still rolling, so I couldn't really say, 'Cut!' And before I knew it, we were improvising an entire dance in the rain. It's one of my favorite scenes in the movie." — PTI

Said Jiah, "I will again appear in Bollywood as part of a three-film deal but can't disclose more at this stage." When asked which director she would want to work with, she said, "I simply love Anurag Kashyap's film-making. But Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Mani Ratnam are my two other favourite film-makers who have weaved magic with their work." Asked what went in her mind when she first learnt about essaying a role opposite Amitabh Bachchan in the 2007 Ramgopal Verma flick Nishabd, Jiah said, "I did not have any butterflies in the stomach. I knew I have to give my best shot opposite Mr Bachchan and he did not behave as a superstar." — PTI Hands full: Jiah Khan
	Mumbai calling out to Ileana Like many of her colleagues from Southern cinema, actress Ileana D'Cruz intends to move to Mumbai after making a successful Bollywood debut with Barfi!, and work towards building a career in Hindi cinema. "I am planning to move to Mumbai very soon, probably in the next couple of months," said the actress. "This is why I haven't signed anything new in the South. I made a decision not to sign anything while working on Barfi!. Now that it's out I will be in Mumbai to build a career here. I am in the process of buying a place. The hunt is on. I realise I'd have to divide my time between the South and Mumbai," she added. She is also working on brushing up her Hindi. "I am learning (Hindi). I've dubbed my own lines in Barfi!. But I don't yet converse in Hindi. I need to build up the confidence to do so." However, despite the success, Ileana is adamant she won't stop working down South. "A lot of people in the South are wondering if I will say goodbye to Telugu cinema. But I really don't think that's possible. I am really proud to be part of Telugu and now Hindi cinema," said the 24-year-old, who is known to be the highest paid Southern actress. "The two kinds of cinema are so diverse culturally and yet part of a unified, popular cultural experience that's Indian cinema. I've so much fun doing Telugu cinema. They're so colourful and so much fun," she added. As far as the kinds of films are concerned, Ileana says she'd play it by the ear. "I'll take it as it comes. Whether Hindi or Telugu, I'd do the films that I connect with. Like I had this amazing gut-feeling about Barfi!," she added. Ileana is winning accolades for her unconventional portrayal of a saree-clad Bengali woman, who sacrifices her love for Ranbir's character in Barfi!. "Honestly I wasn't looking for something so unconventional for my Bollywood debut. I'd have settled for something far more conventional and glamorous. But then everybody takes that glamorous route," she said. "I just went with my instincts. When I heard the script of Barfi! I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to pull off the role. To play this Bengali woman was quite a change of image from what I'm seen wearing and doing in my Telugu films. "It was quite a cultural change. Very frankly I undertook no preparation. I asked my director Anurag Basu if he wanted me to seek out reference points for how to play my character. But we just went with what Anurag instructed me to do. I'd say my character Shruti was hard to put across. I am glad people have liked me," she added. Meanwhile, Ileana is in talks for more Hindi films. She is contract-bound to do one more film with UTV, but free to work with whoever she chooses. — IANS

	Parineeti's fashion-noble act Clad in a beautiful navy blue-orange lehanga, teamed with a deep-cut choli and a heavy dupatta, chirpy and spontaneous actress Parineeti Chopra left the audience applauding and cheering when she walked the ramp for veteran designer Manish Malhotra at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW). Known for her bubbly image on the silver screen, Parineeti walked the ramp with a lot of elegance and poise. Her entry made people cheer her. She could not help smiling and waving at her fans, even as she looked stunning without any accessories and minimal make-up. The 24-year-old, who made her acting debut with Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, left it on the audience on how she looked. "About the outfit, I think it's for you people to judge," said Parineeti. Malhotra showcased his latest Mijwan collection in the capital Sunday night. It comprised the traditional yet popular embroidery work, Chikankari, by girls from Mijwan, who are supported by veteran actress and social activist Shabana Azmi's Mijwan Welfare Society (MWS). Mijwan is a small village near Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh. Shabana started the show by sharing some lines by her father, late Urdu poet Kaifi Azmi, who founded the MWS to empower the girl child. The collection saw the return of earthy, subdued tones like ivory, burnt orange, dull shades of red and pink. There was a mix of garments both for men and women. Coats, kurtas, sherwanis, lehangas teamed with long jackets and cholis, farsi pants and anarkalis. The outfits were liked by all and it was a jam-packed show. The 62-year-old actress dressed elegantly for the occasion in a black shirt and white chikankari dupatta, and was all praise for Malhotra's collection. "Manish with his collection is bringing into fashion world the craft, which is our USP and which is what we can offer to the world. They can copy everything but cannot compete with our craft," Shabana said. Malhotra, who has designed for over 1,000 films and is a recipient of 38 awards, said about his collection, "This show was basically about showing the craft of Mijwan. My purpose was to bring it up here at an event like WIFW. It's Shabanaji's NGO and Parineeti was very kind and said she wanted to be associated with it and that is how we are all here." "Fashion week is all about style and trends but it is important sometimes to see the Indian craft which is happening in our villages and is so beautiful," he added. Cousin of Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, Parineeti said, "I don't want it to be just about ramp walk, but I seriously and genuinely feel for what Mijwan and what Manish and Shabanaji are doing. For such an initiative, I just could not say no. I had to be a part of it." The designer, who has styled some of the most popular faces in Bollywood including Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherji, Aishwarya Rai, Sonam Kapoor, Preity Zinta and Karisma Kapoor, is known for his collection that boasts of a fusion of traditional and contemporary designs. —IANS
	All praise for Milan Luthria Actress Vidya Balan, who played southern actress Silk in The Dirty Picture, says the movie's director Milan Luthria should be given credit for starting the trend of using southern flavour in the characters and songs of Bollywood. "I did not start (the trend), Milan Luthria did. I am an actor and I work according to the demands of the story. It (The Dirty Picture) was the story of a southern actress," the 33-year-old said here. Vidya spoke on the sidelines at the launch of Munmun Ghosh's novel "Unhooked" recently. Taking the trend of southern flavour forward, Rani Mukerji has done a Tollywood-style number in her next film Aiyyaa. When Vidya was asked if the song and movie reflects shades of The Dirty Picture, she said, "If it is south-based film then they will be visible." Directed by Sachin Kundalkar, Aiyyaa has Rani in the role of a Marathi girl and also stars southern actor Prithviraj. Meanwhile, talking about her romantic-comedy Ghanchakkar, in which she features with Emraan Hashmi, Vidya said, "Shooting is on and we are trying to make a good film. Let's see what happens." — IANS Bold beauty: Vidya Balan
	fashion funda Step into the comfort zone Ashima Batish The fact that the designers Pankaj and Nidhi presented their collection with Kallol Dutta at the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week explains how big they have become. They were applauded for their creations, which were on the lines of lattice work, something that hasn’t been done before. Here they share tips on the latest trends this season. What in: Go for monochromatic bright colours and contrast them with black and white lowers. In terms of fabrics, pick your favourite among wool, leather and silk. Jacket is one garment you must buy this season. Have as many of them in your wardrobe and team them up with tapering denims, tights or anti-fit trousers. Layering them up with a scarf or tie is fine but keep your look clean and clutter-free. What’s out: Shop for a size larger than your actual size because body-hugging clothes are passé. Don’t burst out of what you wear. Even if you sport a little black dress for a party, it shouldn’t define the shape of your body. Keep it loose and elegant. Comfort is more important than anything else. Colour count: All jewel tones will rule the colour chart of the season. Jewel red, pink, vivid emerald and agate blue will be the preferred colours of fashion designers world wide. Party couture: It’s time you tried something new. Take a break from a usual cocktail or short dress. As jackets are a big trend this fall-winter, try one for a party. Pick a piece that has non-uniform, interesting silhouettes. As a part of the experiment, keep it sleeveless. It need not necessarily be something to shield you from the weather. Dressed to the nines: Though she has not got her due for her perfect style sense, but Neha Dhupia knows how to look glamourous and yet not over the top. She has the courage to step out in anti-fit gowns in neon orange. She carries a jump suit as nicely as she does a short dress. The best part is she doesn’t scream from the rooftop that she is a fashionista. Leading in fashion: As of now, it’s Sabyasachi who is ruling the fashion scene in India. Anamika Khanna and Rajesh Pratap Singh are equally big. Indian fashion industry: The first generation of Indian fashion designers set the platform for the coming generations. And now the third generation of fashion designers is taking the legacy forward with experimental designs. They are exploring the potential of various segments of fashion. Designers like Aneeth Arora, Shivam Naresh are adding a new dimension to the industry. We are only getting bigger, better and stronger with each passing season.
	Master Chef Apple-Dapple! Kandla Nijhowne No dear readers, I'm not indulging in kindergarten gibberish! Apple-Dapple is not toddler-talk. It’s actually the name of a popular cake, moist, fragrant and studded with apple chunks! A buttery brown caramel sauce is poured over the cake and allowed to soak in before removing the cake from the pan, it is by far the moistest cake I’ve ever baked. If you’ve ever wanted to win someone over through their stomach, this cake is the one! Apple-dapple cake For sauce * ¾ cup butter * 1½ cups brown sugar * ¾ tsp salt * 1½ vanilla * ¾ cup cream For cake * 2½ cups chopped apples * ½ cup butter * 1 cup grain sugar * 1 egg * 1 tsp baking soda * ¼ tsp salt * 1 tsp ground cinnamon * 1 tsp grated nutmeg * 1 cup maida * ½ cup walnut bits Method Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter and sugar till pale and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Sieve together the maida, baking soda, salt and spices. Blend the dry ingredients into the eggs and butter. Stir in the apples and nuts. Pour into an oiled 9 inch round cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the centre. In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk, then remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and the cream. Traditionally, the hot sauce is poured over the still warm cake but you can serve it on the side in a bowl too. Let everyone pour sauce over their own wedge of apple-dapple delight!

	stress buster Meditation marvels Renee Singh We are living in stressful times and are swallowing outrage and frustration caused by unfair situations and irrational superiors. This is because we can't let go of either the situation or the people concerned. In short we can neither afford to lose our job nor can we let go of certain relationships. Outside strains like these are called stressors. Some people have the capacity to retain a level of calm in any situation. That is the way they are built. While there are others who accumulate stress over every little situation and require help to sort it out. One great way of getting rid of these stressors is meditation. It is one of the most inexpensive and best ways of releasing stress and has far- reaching effects if practised regularly. Some meditations bring about small changes in a person, others might bring huge benefits. Overall they help one build a lasting resilience towards stress. The more regularly you meditate the less reactive you become to stress. Benefits of meditation n Slowed heart rate n Release of physical tension n A breather from stress n A calmer mood afterwards n Less reactivity towards stress n Lower blood pressure n Clarity towards life n Greater resilience to stress Types of meditation Two main methods of meditation are: Concentration method This involves concentrating deeply on one focal point. Beginners find this easy to learn and practice. Non-concentrative method This involves different points of focus and deep non-judgmental concentration. Some methods can fit into both categories, but one must try several types of meditation to see what suits you the most. Breathing meditation This involves focusing on one’s breathing in a well-defined manner. Visualisation practice This is a great way to meditate by visualising an object or scenery you want to focus on. Aromatherapy meditation This gives you a double benefit. One aspect is that the aroma calms the person. Also, this kind of therapy brings in other benefits which can be very relaxing. Mantra meditation Repeating a mantra creates a relaxing vibration. You can always try and see if it suits you. Music meditation This calms down a person and also deepens the experience of meditation. Chocolate meditation This is a novel experience. Keep some chocolate in your mouth and concentrate on eating it in an enjoyable manner. Bath meditation This is again naturally relaxing. You can either soak yourself in a tub of warm water or else a refreshing shower is a great relaxant. Mindfulness exercises: These can be done anywhere provided you have a congenial environment and can muster up a deep level of concentration. This way of meditation can be virtually incorporated into any activity. (Singh is a Chandigarh based psychotherapist)
	Wear your confidence It is the stylish look that makes one stand out in a group, which may not be ‘brand’ induced or due to inherent good looks but the attitude which one adopts. It may also be just the smart coordination of clothes which does the trick. Ashmeet Arora, a student of journalism and mass communication, talks of her style quotient— Your sense of style… The dressing sense of anybody denotes style only if it is carried well. Also for me style is bespoken by the manner in which anybody talks or converses. Latest addition to your treasure of clothing or accessories… A pair of stilettos from Feragamo brand. Crazy or street pick-up? A wise combination of both. Your style icon would be… Sonam Kapoor is my ideal in terms of dressing! Who do you think is the worst-dressed celebrity? Ekta Kapoor. Which look would your prefer – sporty, chic or glamorous? Glamorous any day! One fashion trend that goes beyond your comprehension…. Spaghetti and tube tops somehow don’t look aesthetic. Your take on accessories? A variety of neck pieces, belts and watches are my treasured possessions! Given a choice, which designer you would like to be dressed by? Manish Malhotra any day! — As told to Poonam Bindra

	Notes from the heart Mona Hero se tu kam na lagta Thara look boy tera killer Tom Cruise aur Johnny Depp Tera aage chiller… …are some lines from the recent song Baith Pajero main that’s rocking the charts. Says composer-singer Santokh Singh, “I love experimenting with genres and languages in my music.” Santokh debuted independently with Jaspinder Narula’s album Sanwaria. Channa Vey followed and it’s been a decade for him in Mumbai now. The recent hit Baith Pajero main is Santokh’s attempt at creating something typical to Delhi, as demanded by the situation in the film. “I wanted to create something new, something sharabi here. I have used typical Haryanvi accent in this one,” says Santokh, who loves bringing cultural diversity in his creations. In his career in Mumbai, Santokh has to his credit many films and albums spread over different genres, but this singer-composer is busy studying music further. Classical music, Indian as well as western, draws Santokh; in fact, he is pursuing Masters in Western classic vocal and piano. An industry full of talented artistes keeps him motivated; AR Rahman, Preetam and Ilayaraja inspire him the most. “Each day is a new learning experience. One learns from old and new alike,” he says. His upcoming films as music director are Lucky Kabootar and Golu Pappu. “I always knew music is the field that I want to work in right from my childhood,” says this composer, originally from Rajasthan. And music is what he wants to breathe till he lives! mona@tribunemail.com
	chatter box Content soul Samir Soni who plays Kunal in Colors Parichay is happy to play an important role in the show. How do you look at the leap in show? It came at a good time as we had brought the story to a point where a leap was a good decision. With a leap you can bring in new elements with the same characters which make for good drama. You seem too happy playing such an important role in Parichay… Yes. Television shows are usually about women and stories revolving around them. In shows like Parichay, men too get a good amount of importance. Otherwise almost all shows are sold through a woman and her problems. I think men are now getting their due on TV. How is it playing a father on TV? It is fun and challenging. The kids are amazing. In fact I love the fact that my character calls his son Munnabhai. Are you also thinking of planning a family? Yes we are. It’s been a year since we’ve been married and we have been busy with work. After films like Baghban and I Hate Love Storys would you be doing more projects? Right now television is great and most satisfying. Surely it is more demanding than films but I also get immediate reactions from the audiences. Do you also do theatre? Yes. I have been doing a play with Mandira Bedi for eight years and I take a day off in a week for it. Doing a play is like being in another world. Return of the dude After a successful season last year, India’s hottest show on how to impress women Superdude is back on Bindass. Hosted by charismatic and suave Ashmit Patel, the show will feature 13 boys from different parts of the country who claim to be the coolest dudes of their city. They will get a chance to live in the ‘Superdude Mansion’ where they will be trained in the art of approaching and impressing women by their ‘guru’ Ashmit Patel. Assisting Ashmit in this task will be British Asian bombshell Sofia Hayat, who will ensure that the boys get a reality check on what girls really want. Co-hosting the show with Ashmit and also giving a women’s perspective to the 13 boys, will be Madhura Naik, a popular face on television. Superdude conducted a hunt across three cities – Chandigarh, Delhi and Mumbai that saw unprecedented response giving the judges a tough time in short-listing the final 13. Once in the Superdude mansion, the final 13 contestants will be split into two groups – the good boys (the kind you can ‘take home to your mother’) and the bad boys (the kind who ‘you will want to meet, but your mother won’t’). The two groups will live in separate bedrooms in the Superdude mansion, which will be designed keeping in mind their character, moods and tastes. The good boys and the bad boys will compete with each other in various tasks which would test their skills in making an impression on girls, be it striking a conversation with a girl at a bar or impressing her with their chivalry. Apart from contesting in these tasks, the 13 dudes will also have to impress Madhura. Their success in this will help them gain access to luxurious amenities in the house. Ahead of time… Young and talented Nivin Ramani, who was last seen in Fear Files, will now be seen playing a pivotal role in Mrs Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein on Zee TV. Everyone in the Mrs Kaushik family will move forward in age and the story will take off to the year 2030, thanks to Lovely (Ragini Nandwani) getting into a Time Machine. Now, post the jump, kids in the show will grow up. This is where Nivin enters the picture. He will be essaying the role of a naughty teenager, Anu. He will be the son of Shivendu (Gavie Chahal) and Karantiya Kaushik (Divjot Sabarwal). Tapasya makes a comeback Rashmi Desai has confirmed that she is going to make a comeback in Uttaran. Here is some exclusive news on what her character will be like this time. Rashmi, who was earlier seen in the show as Tapasya, had quit the project as she was to get married to Nandish Sandhu. At the same time, the show also to took a leap. And Rashmi did not want to play a mother to somebody of her own age. Hence, she made an exit from the show. But, now she is back. According to a reliable source, the production house had been trying to get Rashmi back in the show for quite some time, but the actress was not ready for it, but now she has signed a contract. If sources are to be believed, the characteristics of Tapasya will remain the same. She has overcome the entire Veer (Vikas Bhalla) and Ichcha (Tina Dutta) episode. But this time around, she will make living difficult for the Bundelas.

	The year ahead Madan Gupta Spatu If your birthday is October 9... You will be able to enjoy at the work place. Partners will be emotional and their behaviour will affect the relationship. Concern about the progress of your children will be in your mind. You will enjoy good health. Overall, it will be an above average year. In this phase, the right way to face the situation is to intervene with decisiveness. It isn't the right time to ignore a problem. You must re-establish justice, use every means you can: perseverance will help. Stick to the tasks you've been given and don't be hot-headed, as this will irritate a superior who could say something you don't deserve. You will want your partner to give into all your whims and listen to no advice whatsoever. Try not to go too far. Get into work full-time. Ideas are bubbling, communication's clicking and you're right at the centre of it now. Progress toward specific goals and general professional growth are on the cards. Timely investigation and intervention keeps things from snowballing. Legal and bureaucratic matters become more complex. Play for time. Soon, destiny will present new and interesting opportunities. The harder you try, the worse things will become. You should work only on the one project that means the most to you. You must find the courage to overcome your shyness and speak up at the right time. Hold-off everything else until the storm has passed. A big family discussion is likely and it may be about 'necessary changes,' especially in finances and marital status. Your attitude is highly friendly and entertaining. Financially, your position will be sound and better than you had expected. New friends you make in this period will play an increasingly important role in your work. However, you should not get entangled in secret activities as these can affect your career adversely. Friends are most helpful when you 'run out of time' or are 'against the wall' for a variety of reasons. Take care of the health of your mother. A little problem with your digestive system is likely. Try to control your eating habits and avoid junk food. Experimentation takes you into the soulful side of love and friendship. You're not usually the quiet type, but even the meekest among you could be dancing on tables and making outrageous statements. You can get away with just about anything as long as you maintain a playful attitude. Mood: Cheerful Compatible signs: Gemini, Sagittarius Lucky colours: Silver, Red Lucky days: Tuesday and Friday.
