Poonam Pandey first came into news with her promise to strip completely if team India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011. Though she failed to keep up her promise, she has been in news ever since because of her revealing and titillating pictures and her controversial comments on her social networking site.

This time, once again, Miss Pandey has tried to cash in the popularity of IPL to her benefit. Poonam had earlier promised to go nude if Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won the fifth edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). This time, Poonam kept her word and she has posted a nude pic of hers on the twitter account where she lies on her stomach wearing only black beads on her wrist and a black coloured neckpiece.

The pic comes with the update:
“Wowwwwwwwwwwww what ever team I support always wins #IPL #KKR #SRK so as I promised, a pic is on its way.”

“WARNING 18 and under should not try looking up the pic. That said, I do not take responsibility for anyone under age,” she posted with a warning and added “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo re” – the anthem for KKR.

Actress Vidya Balan looked ravishing in a red saree as she joined lavani dancers on stage to perform her latest item number Mala Jau De from ‘Ferrari Ki Sawaari’ live for the audience, on May 25. On public demand, she was asked to repeat the performance.

From a simple girl-next-door in ‘Parineeta’, to the challenging multi-faceted role in ‘Ishqiya’, from re-living the role of South sex siren Silk Smitha in ‘The Dirty Picture’, to the die-hard Vidya Bagchi in ‘Kahaani’, Vidya Balan has done it all.

Next, Vidya tries her hand at shaking it for a lavani item number in forthcoming film ‘Ferrari Ki Sawaari’, but the actress says the act didn’t come easy as she isn’t really a dancer.

“I think I enjoyed this dance a lot. I have enjoyed all the roles I have played, but I didn’t think I would enjoy dancing so much because I am not really a dancer, I have to put in a lot of effort,” said Vidya adding, “But we worked hard, and when I reached the set we went mad dancing.”

Vidya undertook three weeks training with a troupe from Kolhapur before giving the final Lavani shot.  When asked who her inspiration was for lavani songs, Vidya said: “Madhuri Dixit of course. I really liked Madhuri’s song in ‘Sailaab’ and ‘Sangeet’. I also admire Smita Patil in ‘Bhoomika’.”

Emraan Hashmi and Neha Dhupia are working together in Percept Pictures’ thriller ‘Rush’. The two stars were in Goa for the shoot of the same and while shooting a song sequence for the film, they got stuck in the mirror maze for about forty minutes.

The unit had constructed a massive oval mirror maze for the song sequence and initially, shooting for the song was fun. However, things took a confusing turn when after some point the actors couldn’t differentiate the real person from his/her reflection and ended up getting lost inside the maze. Neha and Emraan were later seen sharing a laugh after this amusing situation finally came to end.

The film was previously titled RAFTAAR 24*7 and was directed by the late Shamin Desai.  Now, the film is revived by Percept Picture Company and directed by Priyanka Desai. Slated for the release in the second half of 2012, ‘Rush’ sees Hashmi playing the charismatic and controversial journalist Sam who plunges into a vortex of violence in a deadly engineered game of cat and mouse.

It was a memorable day for students of Struts Dance Academy at Bandra on May 25 when gorgeous actress Kareena Kapoor joined in to shake a leg with them. The actress was there to promote the academy and she impressed everyone with her style, beauty and of course, her moves.

Kareena looked drop dead gorgeous in a long sleeve cobalt blue blouse paired with denims which complimented her perfect figure. She kept her look simple but made a statement with her blood red nails.

What a bash it was!! As Karan Johar turned 40 this year, the entire Bollywood clan turned up at the Taj Lands End hotel in Mumbai on Friday night to celebrate his birthday. Most of the celebs came attired in black and white as the theme for the night itself was black and white, revealed designer Manish Malhotra, who took charge of preparing the venue, styling the waiters’ uniform as well as styling many of the guest celebrities.

Karan charmed everyone with his jet black suit and white shirt teamed with a shimmery bow and a white rose in his left pocket. From couples including SRK-Gauri Khan, Hrithik Roshan-Suzann Khan, Sanjay-Maanyata Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh-Genelia D’Souza, Anil-Tina Ambani, Goldie Behl-Sonali Bendre, Vidhu Vinod Chopra-Anupama Chopra to single ladies like Kareena Kapoor, Malaika and Amrita Arora, Priyanka Chopra, Rani Mukherjee and so on and so forth, there was hardly any face from Bollywood missing at the party.

SRK was attired in a black suit with a shimmery bow while Gauri wore a dark saffron gown. Aamir Khan opted for a Chinese-collared suit while Kiran Rao wore a pistachio-coloured outfit. Kareena came in a floral short dress while Rani Mukherjee came in a steel grey coloured dress.

Rohit Shetty was dressed casually and was overheard saying, “I am not comfortable in suits.” Aftab Shivdasani who came in a tee said, “I didn’t know the dress code. The invite went to my mother’s house.”

Shah Rukh Khan hit the dance floor with Juhi Chawla, Kajol, Preity Zinta and Karisma Kapoor.

When it comes to style and fashion, Bollywood’s fashion diva, Sonam Kapoor never fails to impress and so it was this year at Cannes Film Festival when Sonam made an appearance at the Chopard and L’Oreal party attired in a black and white polka dotted one shoulder Naeem Khan gown which was showcased at the Fall 2012 collection by the designer.

The gown had a bow on the right side and Sonam teamed it with ruby Chopard earrings and ruby coloured velvet clutch. Sonam Kapoor is going to walk the Cannes Film Festival 2012 Red Carpet on May 27th.

Sonam also posed for the shutterbugs outside Hotel Martinez in Cannes wearing a full-sleeved white dress which she teamed up with dangling earrings, a stylish thin belt and a plain classy purse.

The new parents Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty were beaming with joy as they posed for the cameras when they came out with their three-day old baby boy from Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai on Friday to take him home. However, the media could not manage to capture the image of the new born who was cosily wrapped in a soft white sheet lying cradled in Raj’s hands. Shilpa looked as charming as ever with an added glow of motherhood as she waved at the photographers attired in a buttoned-down blue and black coloured tunic with leggings and with a bag slung over her shoulders. Raj wore a blue shirt with denims.

The baby is yet to get its name as Shilpa’s mother, Sunanda Shetty, who has in-depth knowledge of astrology will choose the first alphabet of the baby’s name. Thereafter, both Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra will decide the name.

The first look poster of Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Cocktail’ is out and the trailer doing rounds on the net is surely an impressive cocktail of Deepika Padukone’s glamour and Saif Ali Khan’s casanova act. The video has crossed 1 million views on Youtube.

The movie made under the direction of Homi Adajania is a story of three friends. Saif plays Gautam, who is a flirt, and Deepika plays the party loving Veronica. The third character in the film is the model-turned-actress Diana Penty who plays the role of Meera. The film also stars Randeep Hooda and Boman Irani in a special appearance. The film’s music is scored by Pritam & Yo Yo Honey Singh and is produced by Saif Ali Khan’s production house, Illuminati Films.

The film is also creating buzz as Deepika Padukone makes a full-fledged bikini debut in the film. “When you are shooting on a beach, you have to look sexy. However, the highlight of the film is not the bikini here. I remember people making a big deal about Priyanka (Chopra) wearing a swimsuit in Dostana,” said Deepika about her bikini scene in the film.

Well! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s wardrobe at Cannes 2012 and her post pregnancy flab had become an issue of national concern and debate for some past few days now. Gossip columns had come out with the news that Aishwarya would go all traditional with saris and anarkali suits at Cannes this year. But the actress came up with a rather pleasant surprise as she made her first appearance at Cannes in an elegant Angelo Katsapis maxidress teamed with a thin black long-sleeved cardigan with her hair left down. Her second appearance at the festival was in the promised Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla sari. She was covered upto every inch as she attended the star-studded amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala in a cream chikankari sari and an elaborately embroidered jacket in place of a choli.

No sooner did the photos of Aishwarya at Cannes hit the internet, than praises started pouring in for the stunning lady. Here are some of the posts from her fans:

Danielle wrote, “Without a doubt that is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, at BOTH weights. Twigs like Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham don’t hold a candle to her.”

For Krutika Desai, size doesn’t matter much. She wrote, “Just because she is in the public eye does not mean that she has to be a particular size. It is her life and if she is happy and content then there is no need for the negative comments. I think she still looks as stunning as ever! Post-baby glow still there!”

Sonakshi Sinha’s item number ‘Chammak Challo Chail Chabeeli’ from Rowdy Rathore bears similarity to Kareena Kapoor’s ‘Chammak Challo’ from ‘Ra.One’ not only in words but also in the fact that the two heroines bear strikingly similar look in a red saree for the song. However, Sonakshi insists that no comparisons should be drawn between the two songs as they are quite different from each other.

“I am not just Chammak Challo, I am also Chail Chabeeli. I would like to say when we had shot for this song, ‘Ra. One’ had not released and we had not seen that ‘Chammak Challo’ in a red saree. It’s just a co-incidence,” says Sonakshi.

“Both the songs are different, it was westernised but our song is full of Indian melody. So you should not compare the two,” she added.

The temperatures in Sri Lanka soar up as the hot Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone strips down to a two-piece bikini for the shoot of her debut Bollywood project ‘Jism 2’. Sunny posted her pics on Jism’s twit handle that reads “#JISM2-DAY 9- SRI LANKA. Just another SIZZLING day in paradise! Drool! Drool!”

In one still, Sunny Leone is seen lying on a watery beachfront against the backdrop of trees. In another the she stands with her back to the camera stretching her perfect figure on a rocky shore.

The makers of the film have already let it out the ‘Jism 2’ is high on the hotness quotient. Sunny had recently tweeted: “Shooting a bunch of sexy shots for @Jism2. This movie is so hot you guys are gonna love it!”
