One cannot but agree with the fact that John Abraham has one of the best bodies in our tinsel town. However, despite the fact that the hunk has a physique which makes him a perfect choice for pure action thrillers, John has kept away from hard-core action flicks, the only exception being ‘Dhoom’ where his chemistry with bikes was more than obvious.

Now, finally John has turned to flaunting his perfectly toned body with eight-pack abs in a pure action flick produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and directed by Nishikant Kamat of Mumbai Meri Jaan fame. The movie is the remake of the Tamil film Kakha Kakha and chirpy Genelia D’Souza will play his love interest in the film.

Though the storyline of the movie has been kept into wraps, it is known that John plays an encounter specialist and given his killer looks in the poster just released one can definitely say that John is out to set many a heart ablaze there!!

Well, it seems Kangana Ranaut has not gotten over the betrayal played by the Roshans in their mega project ‘Kites’. We all know how Kangana’s role was chopped off to mere bits.

So, it did not come as a surprise when the actress firmly refused to be a part of ‘Krrish 2’ where she was asked to play the second lead after Priyanka Chopra. Though, both Rakesh and Hrithik tried to convince her that the role carried enough weight and had been written with Kangana in mind, Ranaut simply refuses to trust them.

With a national award to be proud of and with many promising projects in her kitty like Tanu Weds Manu, Rascals, Game and Dhamaal 2, Kangana definitely does not need to risk her career with Roshans.

On the other side of the coin, Rakesh Roshan denies having spoken to Kangana about Krrish 2. “Kangna wasn’t offered a role. Only Priyanka [Chopra] is final,” he stated.

Putting an end to all the speculation, Imraan Khan and his seven year long girlfriend Avantika finally tied the knots at a civil registered wedding at home yesterday at 6 pm. The wedding was a quiet unceremonious affair with the presence of only family members from both sides with the likes of Aamir Khan and Kiran, his first wife Rina with both the kids Junaid and Ira, Mansoor Khan his wife Tina, Aamir’s mother and Nuzhat’s sisters Nikhat and Farhat. The couple did not want any religious rituals as they belong to different communities.

It would not be an overstatement to say that Imraan Khan looked handsome as ever and Avantika totally complemented his perfect looks. They both were attired in a Manish Malhotra outfit. The couple later entered their Pali Hill Bungalow in a black Porche. It is the same banglow where Imran Khan’s mother Nuzhat and mamujaan Aamir Khan also got married.

The couple is on a three-day holiday to Phuket and our team of Bollywood stars extends heartiest wishes for a happy married life to them…..

So, all the fights, accusations, bitching, melodrama and controversies are over finally as the Big Boss Season 4 comes to an end after getting its first female winner in the form of Shweta Tiwari who made her way to the victory beating Ashmit Patel, Dolly Bindra, and The Great Khali.

Out of four finalists, the first one to be called out of the house was Dolly Bindra. Next one to be called out of the house was Ashmit Patel who was supposed to be a very strong contender for the title. Well, then the expectations zeroed in to The Great Khali because of his international fan following.

However, calm, soft spoken and beautiful Shweta Tiwari emerged as a winner making it a history in Big Boss by being the first ever women contestant to win the show. She received an amount of Rs 1,000,000.00 and a beautiful trophy. She can only expect better

It looks like a party is surely on the cards and all the contestants who participated in this season’s Bigg Boss will be invited.

“I’m overwhelmed,” said Shweta, unable to speak much.

Well, it is not without reason that Aamir Khan is known as ‘The Perfectionist’ in Bollywood and the amount of effort and dedication he puts into each of his project cannot be disputed by anyone at all. He did not mind his month long stay in a spooky house in downtown Mumbai for wife Kiran Rao’s film Dhobi Ghat.

Now, he intends to shoot Reema Kagti’s forthcoming film in Mumbai’s red light area. The film has him play a police officer who penetrates the red-light area while working on a case. Perfectionist as he is, Aamir feels that shooting on actual locations, with real sex workers and pimps would give an upper hand to the feel of the flick.

However, Reema Kagti and co-producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani are not too keen on Aamir’s lookout due to security reasons. The movie also stars Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor where one of the two ladies plays a sex worker.

Bong beauty Bipasha Basu has always been best described as hot, sexy, sultry and appealing. So, her topless avatar on the covers of ‘Maxim’ Magazine Indian Edition for the Month Of January 2011 did not come as a surprise though. Bips has already gone bold and beautiful for her roles in ‘Jism’ and also appeared topless in a video that surfaced recently but was shot in the 1990s

This is the second time of Maxim with Bips. She was on the covers last time in September 2009. Well, this happens to be the 5th anniversary issue for Maxiim and the magazine which has always managed to get beautiful actresses shed their inhibitions (and clothes) has managed to create enough ripples with Mandira Bedi’s hot topless photo shoot inside and Bipasha Basu’s bare back act on the covers.

No wonder, we see men rushing to the magazine stands before the issue runs out of stock!!

There was a time when men glued to the smaller screen to catch a glimpse of Mandira Bedi adding glamour to the cricket with her spontaneous commentary and of course her noodle straps. The lady has sure come a long way since then. Right from doing movies, TV serials, reality shows, commercials and anchoring, the lady has a fan following of her own.

However, Bedi has taken a leap further and appeared topless in the January issue of the fashion magazine Vogue where she is seen wearing a mini skirt and covering her modesty with her hands. Well, if the eyes manage to go beyond the photograph itself, Mandira talks about her health regime, the secret behind toned body, and why she doesn’t like wearing skimpy clothes!

Check out Mandira Bedi in her hottest best before you rush to the magazine stands to grab a copy of your own!!
