Tamanna goes ‘Gangnam’ style

Along with a bunch of kids, the actress has done the Korean rapper Psy’s steps in ‘Himmatwala’
Though he may be remaking a 1983 Jeetendra-Sridevi starrer, director Sajid Khan has included 2012′s hugely popular Gangnam style dance moves in his upcoming film Himmatwala.
One of the tracks in his film starring Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah has the Korean rapper Psy’s steps which have created a storm across the world.
A unit source says, `The song featuring Tamannaah with a bunch of kids is a funny track. When the makers were deciding on which steps to include for the children’s number, everyone came up with the Gangnam style. That’s when we realised that the audiences especially the tiny tots will love it.`
Adds the source, `Sajid Khan wanted it to be a fun wacky song and as Gangnam style is easily recognised, he settled for the Gangnam moves.`
Tamannaah made her B-Town debut in the 2005 flick Chand Sa Roshan Chehra after which she began working in South films.

Gangnam star Psy to play Prabhu Deva’s role in Any Body Can Dance remake!

It seems a South Korean production house has been mulling over the idea of getting Gangnam superstar Psy to essay Prabhu Deva’s character in ABCD‘s remake
While some are raving about Prabhu Deva’s thespian skills in Any Body Can Dance (ABCD), there are also critics who have been hugely disappointed with the Southern star’s performance in the film. But that doesn’t really matter much ‘coz a bunch of South Korean filmmakers are smitten with Prabhu’s charm. And not just, that they are supremely impressed with the way ABCD is made. So now that they are hell-bent on buying the rights of the film, while the honchos of UTV Motion Pictures are taking their own sweet time to consider this offer (lucrative or not, we don’t know that yet).
But the question still remains – will Psy deliver a better performance than apna Prabhu in the remake? Well, we obviously have been in the loop when it comes to Psy’s grooving skills – he has that amazing energy and enthusiasm which can instigate even non-dancers to jump out of their seats and do a step or two. But c’mon, it’s tough to match Prabhu’s snake-like professional moves and his passion – which is so evident in the way he does everything – from those pelvic thrusts to those locking and popping steps.
Let’s see if the deal gets finalised. If yes, Psy has some serious work to do – that is match up to Prabhu’s amazingly cool dancing steps!

Kajal Aggarwal is Akki’s latest victim

Kajal Aggarwal, who featured with Akshay Kumar in Special 26, still can’t get over her co-star’s antics
The Khiladi has a penchant for indulging in some prank or the other. During an event in Nagpur, Akshay put something heavy in her bag. Kajal didn’t pay too much heed as the room was too crowded and the interactions with the media on.
She assumed that Akshay must have slipped his phone or something inside her handbag. Once the interactions were over, Kajal and the rest of the cast proceeded towards the exit where she was stopped by the security.
The actress was taken aback but proceeded to open her bag. The security guard found 20 steel spoons. Onlookers couldn’t stop laughing as the guard told Akshay, `Sahab mil gaya!`
A very embarrassed Kajal didn’t know where to look and eventually had a hearty laugh along with everyone else.

Emma Stone’s Gucci Fishnet Dress At The Croods Berlin Premiere Gives Us Pause

We’ve enjoyed watching Emma Stone’s style transformation as she embraces edgier fashions and bolder hair colors. (She’s been working the blonde hair pretty well). But the actress’ latest attempt at pushing the envelope has left us scratching our scalps.
While making the promo rounds at the Berlin Film Festival for the prehistoric age animated movie “The Croods,” Stone wore a short black dress straight from Gucci’s spring 2013 runway. It’s pretty hard to go wrong when sporting an LBD, but this was quite the busy frock. It included fishnet-like detailing along the collarbone and poofy silk sleeves. Stone grounded the look with a simple bun updo, black pumps and bright pink lipstick, but we’re still distracted by the dress.

Hugh Grant Welcomes Second Child, Announces Son’s Birth on Twitter

Hugh Grant is now a proud father of two! The actor announced he recently welcomed his second child via Twitter on Saturday, Feb. 16.
“In answer to some [journalists], I am thrilled my daughter now has a brother,” the 52-year-old Notting Hill actor told his 77,000 followers. “Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum.”
“And to be crystal clear,” he added, “I am the daddy.”
Grant and Tinglan Hong welcomed a daughter, Tabitha, in September 2011. When his rep confirmed Tabitha’s birth, the never-wed actor’s relationship with Hong was described as “a fleeting affair.”
“He and the mother have discussed everything and are on very friendly terms,” his rep told Us Weekly at the time. The two have reportedly become more serious since the birth of their little girl.
Though 33-year-old Hong’s first pregnancy wasn’t planned, “I like my daughter very much,” Grant revealed in a March 2012 with The Guardian. “Has she changed my life? I’m not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no. But I’m absolutely thrilled to have had her — I really am. And I feel a better person.”
The following month, Grant was singing a different tune. “Everyone was right all these years, saying, ‘Hugh, why don’t you have some children? It changes your life,’” he said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Now that I have one, it is life changing. I recommend it. Get some!”

Kim Kardashian attempts pregnancy fashion in actual maternity blouse

Up until this point, Kim Kardashian’s maternity style has been a bit shaky, to say the least. She’s squeezed her mommy-to-be curves in high-waisted pencil skirts, boob-baring dresses and skinny jeans. But it looks like the 32-year-old reality star is finally starting to loosen up and give baby Kimye some space to grow.
While en route to LAX for a very long flight to Nigeria, Kim stepped out of her home dressed in what appears to be a maternity blouse. The black and white polka dot top billowed out around her baby bump and covered up her cleavage. Shocking, we know.
Of course, Kim had to add the Kardashian touch to her airport-bound ensemble with black leggings, knee-high stiletto boots and long and loose hair. But we have to admit that she looks stunning in maternity wear.

You can’t create chemistry: Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone’s been on a non-stop working spree as she hops from the sets of one film to another. And the actress who was in Kashmir recently shooting for yet another film says that even a two-day break would be a welcome relief.
“I keep telling myself that even a one or two-day break would be great, but let’s see when I can finally succeed. As of now the word holiday doesn’t figure on my iterinary at all,” shares Deepika, who has been juggling between her shoots of Chennai Express, Ram Leela and the Ayan Mukerji film with Ranbir Kapoor, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani.
Deepika, who’s success run continued at the box-office this year with Race 2, says that though she loves her work, the pace does get hectic. “Right now I have so many films in hand, that I am not thinking about any more at all,” she smiles.
With the long list of films, also comes an interesting mix of co-stars — Ranbir, Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh. Talking about the equations she shares with them, Deepika says it’s different with each co-star. “There ought to be a certain comfort level with your co-star, otherwise there’s no chemistry on screen. The audience can see through that. Personally too I enjoy working with people who I can be comfortable with,” she adds.
Though she refuses to name any one co-star with whom she shares great chemistry, she insists that it just can’t be created. “The chemistry is either there or it isn’t, you can’t create it. Luckily for me, in most of my films the chemistry has all been on paper that just got translated well on screen.” So how’s the chemistry between her and Ranbir? “We share a certain comfort, which makes it all the more fun working with him.” Point out that her equation with Saif creates quite a buzz too and she adds, “Like I said, great chemistry on paper just reflects well on screen.”

Beyonce holds blue Ivy in adorable sneak peek from HBO documentary

Beyonce calls Blue Ivy her “best friend” in the March issue of Vogue, and it’s easy to see why thanks to a leaked image from the multiplatinum singer’s HBO documentary, Life Is But a Dream, premiering
Saturday, Feb. 16, at 9 p.m. EST.
With her blonde hair in braids, the 31-year-old “Dangerously in Love” singer gazes lovingly at her daughter, now 13 months. The documentary gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the notoriously private pop star’s career and family life.
In one scene, Beyonce opens up about her miscarriage for the first time; her husband, Jay-Z, briefly mentioned it in “Glory,” the rap song recorded within days of Blue Ivy’s Jan. 7, 2012 birth.
“About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time,” the 17-time Grammy Award winner says. “And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life.”
“I picked out names,” Beyonce continues. “I envisioned what my child would look like . . . I was feeling very maternal.”
Sadly, something went wrong in the early stages of her pregnancy. “I flew back to New York to get my check up — and no heartbeat,” Beyonce says. “Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat.”
The tragedy unexpectedly reignited Beyonce’s passion for songwriter, she explains. “I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I’ve ever written in my life,” she says, without naming the track. “And it was actually the first song I wrote for my album. And it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through.”
Beyonce, who announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, was understandably overjoyed as she awaited Blue Ivy’s arrival. “Being pregnant was very much like falling in love,” she says.
“You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There’s no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone.”
In her March 2013 Vogue interview, the “Love on Top” singer calls her firstborn child her “homey” and her “road dog.”
“Family has always been important. I’ve always had my mother and my father and my husband,” she tells the magazine. “But it’s just…Life is so much more than. . . It’s not defined by any of this [fame or money].”

Madonna’s Ex-Boyfriend And Producer Mark Kamins Dies

DJ and producer Mark Kamins, who discovered Madonna before she signed a record deal, has died. He was 57.
A source close to Kamins confirmed his death to Billboard. According to reports, he suffered a “massive coronary” in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he has been teaching. Kamins had allegedly been struggling with heart problems for the past few months.
Kamins took Madonna under his wing in 1982, passing her demo on to Sire Records executive Seymour Stein, who quickly signed her. The rest, of course, is now pop music history. Kamins, who also produced her single “Everybody,” was also the first in a line of high-profile Madonna romances.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Madonna says:
“I’m very sorry to hear about Marks death. I haven’t seen him for years but if it weren’t for him, I might not have had a singing career. He was the first DJ to play my demos before I had a record deal. He believed in me before anyone else did. I owe him a lot. May he Rest in Peace.”
Kamins is survived by his son.
