Kareena's eyewear fetish! - Bollywood News Gossips

Mumbai, April 1 -- My washerman is not done yet. Now he wants me to hear about Kareena Kapoor's fetish for sunglasses. So much so that she bought nearly half a dozen designer pieces when she went shopping recently.

Aur pata hai kya? Safedi Lal tells me that Bebo already has more than 300 pairs of exclusive and expensive eyewear. But whenever any interesting design catches her eye, she can't resist buying it pronto. No wonder that on her last jaunt, the Kapoor kudi picked up more than six pairs of glares, ranging from vintage to contemporary chic, to add to her enviable collection. Chalo, badhiya hai!

Double Elimination: Who Did American Idol Send Home? - Latest Hollywood News Gossips

Farewell, Naima Adedapo and Thia Megia.

The run of both these finalists came to an end last night, as American Idol viewers voted out a pair of contestants following the surprising save of Casey Abrams a week ago. There was no such shock this time around.

Joined in the bottom three by Paul McDonald, both Naima and Thia struggled to find their groove on season 10. The former may have been too eclectic for viewers, while the latter has a beautiful voice, but didn't do a lot to stand out.

Among other results show highlights:

•  Jamie Foxx and will.i.am performed.
•  Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery sang a duet of "I Told You So."
•  Haley Reinhart, Pia Toscano and Thia worked together on Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream."
•  McDonald, Casey Abrams, Stefano Langone and James Durbin formed a quartet for "Band on the Run."

AR Rahman: Mani gave my career a boost - Latest Bollywood News Gossips

Mumbai, April 1 -- AR Rahman's mentor Mani Ratnam whom he fondly calls "Mani sir" will launch the music maestro's first-ever official biography, written by Nasreen Munni Kabir, on April 6 in Mumbai, along with some high profile actors and directors.

A source informs Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan and filmmaker Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra are some of the people likely to grace the occasion.

Nasreen reveals that in her book Rahman talks about working with Mani's cousin Sharada and her husband Trilok on an ad and eventually meeting Mani through them. The director-composer duo went on to first work together in Roja (1992) and continue to work together even after their 20-year-long association. Rahman says, "I felt a kind of vacuum when the production of Roja ended and told Mani Ratnam, 'I am not going to work on another movie or another director. Working with you has been so satisfying.'" Rahman also says Mani prodded him to not limit his music to his films or him. "It should be for the whole world," director had told him.

Nasreen says the success of Roja helped him gradually overcome doubts over his abilities. Mani Ratnam believed in him from day one and gave his ego and talent a huge boost till Rahman started believing that he could do something. Rahman also credits Roja's success for giving him "a kind of status". Time Magazine listed his music for Roja among the ten best soundtracks of all time in 2005. He says, "People started to respect and take me seriously."

However, Rahman disagrees when asked if he gives his best compositions to Mani. He says, "I don't need to impress Mani sir with grand ensembles and elaborate arrangements. Sometimes, he likes simplest melody. He doesn't think twice about experimenting. That's a great quality."

Published by Om Books International, AR Rahman The Spirit of Music offers foliomusic of The Bombay Theme and Cry of the Rose by Rahman and a CD containing unreleased sound recordings.

Britney Spears: NOT Expecting Baby #3! - Latest Hollywood News Gossips

Britney Spears is pregnant for a third time.

So Life & Style would have you believe, anyway. We'd chalk this up to a giant April Fool's hoax, but L&S reports such things every other week.

No way is Britney Spears pregnant. She's just now emerging from an 18-month hiatus, performing and mixing cocktails with the best of 'em.

She's also not married to Jason Trawick, and has her hands full with Sean and Jayden. No way she's having another kid while unmarried.

More like non-baby drama. One lie and two non-stories! Crazy!

Britney's made some mistakes in her past, yes, but she's pulled it together well now, and is so micromanaged that there's simply no way this is true. None.

At least the Kim Zolciak-NeNe Leakes portion of this magazine expose is more or less accurate. Not interesting to say the least, but more or less accurate.

Zeenat Aman 'left cold' by Deepika's Dum Maaro Dum! - Latest Bollywood NEws Gossips

Zeenat Aman, the original Dum Maaro Dum girl, is aghast by the new-age rendition of the song that marked her debut. The actress says the Deepika starrer remixed version doesn't sound right and has left her cold.

The actress has not yet mustered courage to watch the video of the song and is deeply disappointed by its lyrics and re-mix.

Zeenat told Mumbai Mirror, “Frankly I was deeply disappointed by the re-mix. I haven’t seen it. But I did hear the song. And it just doesn’t sound right. In the original, there was a certain innocence in Asha Bhonsle’s voice and also in the lyrics. What I’ve heard here just left me cold.”

The actress who rose to fame with the song is also unhappy about the fact that original artists were not informed before the re-mix was made. ZeenatShe told the tabloid, “Forget me. Ashaji should certainly have been taken into confidence. She is the voice of Dum Maro Dum. I don’t think we should forget that.”

Khiladi can't enter Baadshah's territory! - Latest Bollywood News Gossips

In just one stroke, Shah Rukh Khan showed Akshay Kumar who really is the king of the jungle. Just the way lions mark their territory to other creatures and possible intruders, Shah Rukh proved to the Khiladi that he has been continues to be number one. Here's what happened.

Akshay
Kumar and his friend cum co-star Suniel Shetty were promoting their film Thank You in Bandra. The actors were in the Pyaar Do Pyaar Lo bus (based on the song from the film) that was offering free rides to couples in Bandstand. The media, too, was happily surrounding the actors until...SRK came into the picture, literally.

Shah Rukh's house Mannat is at Bandstand, and Akshay's bus was parked right next to it. Possibly listening to all the commotion, SRK alongwith wife Gauri and a few others came out to his balcony.

What then?! Of course, all the paparazzi turned away from Akshay and Suniel and started clicking the happily waving Shah Rukh.

"We don't know what made SRK do that. Was it deliberate? Maybe, he wanted to take the limelight away from Akshay. In the past there have been news about a rivalry between them but later they met and hit it off. However, with yesterday evening's event it seems that SRK didn't like the presence of another star getting all the attention and that too just outside his house. His instant reaction was to come out and show the world the attention he can get."

Well, we're not sure if King Khan did this for attention or just out of curiosity but it sure seems like Singh is not king!
