Bolly Tamasha

Just days after Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan were seen canoodling on the sets of Yash Raj Films’ ‘Tashan’, Star News is reporting that Shahid and Kareena are no longer a couple. This news comes close on the heels of rumours that Kareena’s relationship with Shahid is on the rocks. However, Shahid’s close friend reveals that the actor is clueless about Saif’s closeness to Kareena as he is currently in Canada shooting for Nagesh Kukunoor’s ‘Tasveer’.

Kudos to Saif Ali Khan, though. He seems to have been making the most out of his bachelorhood. First Bipasha, now Kareena? What a pimp.

Globus, a fashion apparel retail chain, recently announced a 150-store expansion plan and launched Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor as its brand ambassador at a glittering function at ITC Grand Central in Mumbai.

Kareena showed up to the event in an ugly blue dress and horrendous makeup, but she still managed to look pretty. Also, the girl looks like she’s lost A LOT of weight; Shahid must really be keeping her on her toes.

Imtiaz Ali’s next starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor finally has a title: ‘Jab We Met’. This is the first time the real life couple will be playing each other’s on screen love interests. Imtiaz’s last movie, ‘Socha Na Tha’, catapulted Abhay Deol and Ayesha Takia into fame. Let’s see if he can work his magic again to give both Shahid and Kareena a much needed hit.

Kareena Kapoor signed a Rs 6 crore deal with Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision for three movies that will be released before 2009. This amount puts her in the running for the highest pay in Bollywood. Here’s what an industry insider had to comment about the money Kareena is raking in:

I do not know what the exact amount is, but if its true then she is getting as much as Aishwarya Rai (Rs 2 crore per film). Ash is the highest paid actress in the industry and is rumoured to have been paid Rs 2 crore for Jodha- Akbar. If Kareena has been signed for that amount, she will be one of the most expensive actresses in the industry.

Kareena is currently shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s untitled film with Shahid Kapoor and will not have to worry about getting roles or trying to get many until 2009. She definitely just got a big break.

The Apne Premiere held  at Cinema, Versova on Thursday evening was a star-studded event. It was filled with many of the big names of Bollywood. Apne is Anil Sharma’s latest release. Among those on hand included: Shamita Shetty, Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zinta, Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, Yash Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Sunny Deol,  Bobby Deol, Kangana Ranaut, Kareena Kapoor, Sonali Bendre, and Twinkle Khanna.

Shahid Kapoor was with with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor to watch a celeb viewing of the Ahmed Khan film Fool N Final. Everyone from the cast and crew were present, but Viveik Oberoi was late and had to rush to make it in time to see the film. Vidya Malvade and Ashmit Patel were seen chatting and acting cozy together the whole time at the event. Here are some pictures:

Kareena Kapoor gave Ahmed Khan, the choreographer turned director, a Rs 2.5 lakh Breitling wrist watch for illuminating the talent’s of her boyfriend. Kareen was very impressed with the way he was portrayed in the upcoming film Fool And Final. Ahmed had this to say:

It was a pleasant surprise for me. I am extremely fond of branded watches and I already had the same model which Kareena has gifted me. But I appreciate the gesture that she bought me something which I like. Probably, Shahid had told Kareena that I collect watches. Kareena wanted to watch the film before they leave because they will be busy shooting for a couple of projects, when the film will hit the theaters. So I asked the producer Firoz Nadiadwala to organize a private screening of the film for the two of them.

Kareena seems to be quite the big tipper — guess it comes as reward for withstanding the attitude she’s always giving.

The season finale for KBC was a very enjoyable event filled with two of the hottest Bollywood stars: ; but also joining them and adding to the mix was Bollywood couple Salman Khan with Katrina Kaif. It was a fun taping and the celebs put on a show for everyone there. Here’s what Priyanka had to say about the taping:

KBC was a fantastic experience and I enjoyed myself to the hilt. Sitting across Shahrukh can be quite nerve wrecking, but he completely put me at ease. In fact he was completely driven up the wall because Kareena and myself would keep debating which answer to opt for and always came up with different options. The fun was complete with Salman and Katrina on the show, where all of us did the last segment together. Salman will leave the audiences rolling in splits of laughter with his wit and wacky humor.

Here are some more pics from the show:

During the filming of Firoz Nadiadwala’s Fool And Final, Shahid managed to escape a very dangerous situation. Shahid was shooting a stunt that required him to be harnessed and the pulley holding him up snapped. Here’s what a source on site had said:

It was a song sequence. There were 16 mounted pulleys and 120 men pulling up many dancers, including Shahid. Never before in the history of Indian cinema has such a dangerous and exciting dance sequence been picturised. While shooting, the left wire of Shahid’s pulley suddenly snapped. Luckily, he was not dreaming. He is very active and agile and immediately held on to the right wire of the pulley to balance himself.

Shahid also has very big fear of heights, the source explains:

The cloth had been hung so that Shahid would not feel the great height he was coming down from. Shahid has a vertigo problem and is scared of heights – just like Aamir Khan.When the cloth snapped, I almost fainted. There was a pulley holding Shahid from the top, and there was also a safety net below. I wondered how he would manage. Lekin ho gaya.

Kareena was on the phone with him the whole time and she was in tears and very scared for Shahid:

She was very scared and Ahmed kept assuring her that nothing would happen. To compound her tension, Shahid did not speak to her until the shot was okayed.

This is all after a previous stunt had already gone wrong. We’re glad to know everything turned out okay and that everyone is safe. Here to read the full story.

Devil Diva Kareena cannot find a job. She was signed to do a movie with Karan Johar but was taken out due to Abhishek Bachchan who refused to work with her because of Karisma. Here’s what a source had to say:

Kareena called Karan and spoke to him at length about this film. But Karan seems to be caught in crossfire where he can not afford to upset Abhishek Bachchan and also please his friend Kareena. It seems that Kareena is really upset with Karan though she refuses to admit it in public.

Poor Kareena, we bet that her attitude and Diva-like mannerisms are also affecting her chances of landings roles. No ones wants to work with a washed up diva.
