In another promotional event the actress confessed that she did Shalu for money and hasn’t even seen the rough cut of the song but has heard that the item number is picking up well.

As per a close source from B’town, “Mallika charged phenomenon amount of 1.25 crore for a 4 minutes item song.”

Talking about her item numbers the actress says, “I haven’t seen ‘Shalu Ke Thumke’ song yet since I am concentrating on ‘Jalebi Bai’. I have done Shalu for monetary reasons.”

“I did ‘Mahiya Mahiya’ from Guru for veteran film-maker Mani Ratnam and A R Rehman while ‘Mehbooba Mehbooba’ of Himesh Reshamiya for money again.”

So, Miss Mallika your choices seem to be interesting and we are sure you are balancing well between your passion and money.

The actress and her husband Raj Kundra are expecting their long awaited bundle of joy.
Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty have something other than Rajasthan Royals' victories this IPL to cheer for.

The couple, who tied the knot after a two year long courtship on November 22, 2009, are ready to welcome a new member in their family.

While this is a first for Shilpa, Kundra already knows what it's like to be a parent. The entrepreneur, who was formerly married to Kavita, is father to daughter Deleena, born on September 9, 2006.

Reportedly, Shilpa has wanted to be a parent for a very long time. In a media report, in 2009, she said, "I'm desperate to start a family. I just love children, and we've a beautiful readymade nursery (in the new house). I want at least two children.

There is already a child's bedroom here because Raj has a nephew and I can certainly see my children running around this place.

And there is enough space for us to live at one end while Raj's parents live at the other." And this was even before she got married!

Well, it looks like her dreams are materialising as the actress has been spotted at several clinics around the city. Our source confirmed, "Shilpa is expecting and the couple are extremely happy.

Only the close family members and friends have been informed of the new arrival. They do not want to announce it publicly before the first trimester passes."

Shilpa, who shot to fame in the UK after she won the celebrity Big Brother, married Raj in November 2009.

The couple went on to buy a share in the Rajasthan Royals team of the IPL and have devoted their attention to the game ever since, until now that is.

Despite repeated text messages and calls, both Shilpa and Raj Kundra remained unavailable for comment.

Sexy Yana Gupta who made sensation with her no-panty act is slowly climbing up the ladder. Her sensational stunt has fetched her few offers and Yana is looking to make the maximum out of it. Recently Czech hottie Yana Gupta is seen posing topless on the cover of the May issue of the men’s magazine FHM.

Yana poses nothing more than skimpy denim shorts on her spotless, shapely hot body, Yana poses sans her top for the cover that describes the ‘Bijli Giri’ siren as a reluctant item girl. 

As per the grapevine, Yana Gupta charged Rs. 15 lakh to do this topless shoot. She was even willing to go full n-ude but the publication couldn't afford for the high price tag that the actress demanded and settled down with just a topless photo shoot.

If the buzz is to be believed, Yana demanded two crore rupees to go full monty. She is waiting for internationally celebrated magazines to offer her huge bucks. We doubt if anyone would offer her that much money as her no panty pics were all over the net. Don't be too greedy Yana, you don't deserve that much especially after flaunting your biggest 'secret' for free!

One moment he thought he was just an anonymous punter in a backstreet brothel.

The next he's in the n-ude hanging off a drainpipe after police burst into the brothel he was using in eastern China.

As the doors were smashed down the customer, leaving his clothes behind, ran on to the roof of the rundown apartment bloc in Changchun, Jilin province.

He then shinned down what appears to be a huge drainpipe and then ran off into the backstreets.

But he was not alone in making his escape. Moments after he appeared on the roof, two women - one just wrapped in a towel - could be seen running across the roof.

In the centre of the image another forlorn customer can be seen hiding behind a packing crate.  

China has severe anti-prostitution laws and punishments including the death penalty for anyone guilty of human trafficking.

A MUSLIM actress has caused a storm by posing n_aked for Play-boy.

Sila Sahin has been branded a "whore" and a "western s-lut" after appearing top-less on the cover of the German edition of the men's magazine.

Soap beauty ... Sila Sahin

And Islamic fanatics have posted threatening internet messages.

Sila, raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents, says she fears being "spat at" and "shamed".

Her parents are said to have reacted with "horror" at the 12-page coverage, and her mother has apparently cut off all contact.

Sila, 25 - star of German soap Good Times, Bad Times - claimed the shoot was a reaction to the "slavery" of her youth.

She added: "What I want to say with these photos is, 'Girls, we don't have to live according to the rules imposed upon us'.

"For years I subordinated myself to various societal constraints. The Play-boy photo shoot was a total act of liberation."

But Islamic internet sites are being monitored by the BND - the German intelligence agency - after threats were posted about her "shaming Muslim womanhood" and "prostituting herself for money".

One poster on the Jihad Watch website wrote: "She needs to be very careful..." Another simply said: "She must pay."

A kebab shop owner, asked on German TV what he would do if Sila were his daughter, replied: "I would kill her. I really mean that. That doesn't fit with my culture."

The Islamic Community of Germany has called for a boycott of Sila.

About three million Muslim immigrants live in Germany, which has seen numerous honour killings in recent years by fanatical husbands, fathers and brothers.

In 2009, an asylum seeker was sentenced to life after killing his "too independent" German wife.

One police intelligence officer said of Sila: "I think what she did was either very brave, or very stupid. She will be double-locking her door at night for a long time to come."

The actor who always hesitate eye to eye contact with his co-stars has gone bold now. Yes, we are speaking about Tusshar Kapoor. He has shed off his shyness and became bold enough to get cozy with his heroines. The actor has shot some steamy scenes in both of his upcoming films, ‘Shor In the City’ and ‘Dirty Picture’. In SITC, he got steamy with actress Radhika Apte.

The actor, who is famous for his mute character in the 'Golmaal' series, and for his boy-next-door image, is now apparently doing a love making scene with Radhika Apte, for a song in his upcoming film ‘Shor In The City.'

Kapoor muses, “The track in question Saibo is from SITC. It is a soft romantic ballad, picturised on a married couple Radhika (Apte) and me. It’s a romantic scene between a middle-class husband and wife living in a chawl that leads to lovemaking. I play a reformed gangster and she’s a catalyst in reforming me.”

In the song, Tusshar unhook Radhika’s blouse and then watching her undressing. “I wasn’t embarrassed at all,” he says, “I am pro at such scenes now! In fact, my scenes in Dirty Picture are far steamier”.

Tusshar and Radhika bonded very well off-screen and everyone on the set speaks about their on-screen chemistry. They are very comfortable in shooting the scene.

Seven workers at the Best Western Moore Place Hotel in Milton Keys have conceived since working at the reception where they sit on the blue swivel chair, with four already giving birth.

Employees have now dubbed the piece of furniture the "fertility chair" and some are even refusing to sit on it for fear they will get an unplanned surprise.

General manager Giles Shaw said: "We first started joking that if anyone wants a baby boy then they should come and take a seat on our fertility chair, but now it's just so surreal that it's happening every time."

Though the element of Gay relationship is all about rights and proving their identity, the Indian cinema industry managed to provide entertainment to millions of audience through this concept. Now, Aiswarya Rai is having problems with her husband who happens to be a gay.

Before you start raising eyebrows towards Abhishek Bachchan, read this. We are talking about Hrithik Roshan….surprised ? well, here is the story. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya are pairing up for a new movie and it is heard that Hrithik will be donning the role of a Gay, in a funny way. Just for Fun only to be the caption of this film.

It is also heard that the film will have another top hero Shahid Kapoor and both Hrithik and Shahid will be friends who are likely to do the ‘Gay Couple’ thing. Anushka Sharma name is also in the list to team up with this Gay Friends. 

Buzz is that the discussions are currently on and a formal announcement is expected anytime soon. Let us see what Ash has to experience in this movie.

Dear Miss Bestwoods,
I have been working at an advertising agency for six months. They pay well and my colleagues are more or less cheerful, but I’ve been feeling unhappy lately.

The reason for this is that my boss is a slave driver. She makes me work much later than I am expected to and never appreciates anything I do. She takes out her personal frustrations on me, sends out emotional e-mails and never seems to be happy with anything I do.

Sometimes, I think she just does it because she’s jealous of me; I’m better looking, younger and have more friends at work than she does.

This is my dream job and I don’t want to quit but I can’t stand this anymore. I have tried talking to her but she will not listen. Should I grin and bear it or stand up for my self at the risk losing my job?

Please help.

Depressed but dedicated

*****************
Dear depressed but dedicated,


Your boss sounds like a dragon. It can’t be easy to work for someone who ignores your commitment and only throws criticism your way. I am sorry that you are the object of her anger; it’s a bit of a sticky situation because low morale may affect your performance, which means more criticism and more work misery.

If this is the job you love than don’t let a moody co-worker frighten you off. Finding a career you love is not easy and there is no reason another person should push you away from a path that you deserve to be on. While the workplace is no place is for personal frustrations, the fact is that when dealing with people anywhere we must all be prepared for a few dragons.

Good luck!

Bipasha Basu and co-star Rana Daggubati share intense lovemaking scenes in Rohan Sippy's Dum Maro Dum. 

And despite reports of their off-screen link up, Rana maintains he's still single. 

Usually, it is the heroines and the young actresses who tend to create a lot of sensation through their sex appeal. But here is one actress who is more or less an aunty but right now, a long queue of producers is lining up at her doorstep as they are desperate to rope her in for their movies.

She is Asha Saini, the ‘Lux Papa’. Recently, Asha was seen in the film ‘Chattam’ wherein she did a cameo along with a spicy item song. Those who saw her dance said “Asha has that natural sex appeal and oomph which is very rare to find these days. She is one genuine bombshell who deserves more chances.”

Now, it is heard that many producers are doing their best to get Asha into their movies for item song. However, sources close to Asha reveal that she is keen on having a role to play and not just a mere item song to shake her hips. Well, that can be managed, say the cine folks. 

Just a few months back, Sonakshi Sinha was in the eye of a storm started by her morphed bikini pic, uploaded on the internet forums by some prankster. Now, Vidya Balan finds herself stripped on the annual issue of a popular magazine, even though she hasn’t done any such shoot.

Vidya says when she came to hear of the bikini pic, she thought people must be mistaking her for somebody else. But when she saw the pic, she was shocked. The morphed image had her posing in a black bikini.

The actress is furious over the doctored image and has vowed to take legal action against the prankster.

“I will be taking proper legal action against the people who are responsible for this,” she is quoted as saying.

Arunoday Singh and Aditi Rao thrash Mallika Sherawat's 17 kisses-Khwahish record. We are not sure if it's a record worth setting but Sudhir Mishra's next film, Yeh Saali Zindagi, includes 22 liplocks.

yeh Saali Zindagi might set a new record in celluloid smooching. Arunodoy Singh (last seen making violent love to Raima Sen in Vinay Shukla's Mirch) and Aditi Rao (Sonam Kapoor's bua in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi 6) are the couple in question.

"Aditi and Arunodoy play a young couple based in Delhi. They kiss every time they quarrel. And they quarrel a lot," says Mishra.

Mishra's memory freezes the figure at "around 20 or 22". A kiss is a far more aesthetic and natural expression of love than hip-shaking, believes the director, who has in the past had to do away with kissing scenes because the actors in question were reluctant. 

No such issues with Rao and Singh, though. 

Singh comes from a political family. His grandfather Arjun Singh is a prominent  politician. Rao's grand-uncle Sir Muhammed Saleh Akbar Hydari was the governor of Assam, and she is married to actor Satydeep Mishra (who played Rani Mukerji's boss in No One Killed Jessica).

The two were mildly apprehensive of how their families would react, but Mishra's directorial experience saw their reservations fade quickly. 

The censorboard, already upset over the  film's title, is unlikely to take gently to the the avalanche of smooches. 

"I am not bothered. If the censors think kissing is evil, I'll ask them to get a reality check. We can't manage with flowers quivering on screen. The audience will guffaw at us!" says Mishra.
