The festival is here and the festivities have begun says the press release from Colours. COLORS’ cookery reality show, Kitchen Champion 3 will have a special episode celebrating Janmashtami this week. Celebrity guest Juhi Chawla will join the contestants of the show, chef Gautam and host Ronit Roy as they dance together with ‘gwaalas’ on this festive occasion.

Kitchen Champion 3 sets were full of great enthusiasm and excitement as the gwaalas were in process of breaking the traditional matki and chanting ‘Govinda’ in unison. Keeping Janmashtami and Dahi-Handi in mind, the theme for the episode was aptly decided to be on ‘dahi’. The contestants will be given the option of making any dish that they want with ‘dahi’ as an integral ingredient. As part of the Juhi’s Cooking Challenge, the contestants had to prepare Gopalakala.

This episode also will prove to be a crucial decider for the show as it is the last chance for the five contestants to make it to the Shukrawar ki Mahajung.

Salman Khan to host Bigg Boss 4. Will Claudia Ciesla want to get locked in jail again?

Now that Colours has officially announced that Salman Khan will be hosting Bigg Boss 4, it remains to be seen if Claudia Ciesla will want to spend some time inside the house?

While the names of the house inmates are never revealed before the event goes on air, it seems Colours and Endemol have done a rethink about choosing candidates. Sources tell us that Barbara Mori of Kites fame was a hot favourite. It remains to be seen if Barbara Mori will accept the offer or will colours match her monetary demands. Apparently Barbara Mori asked for Rs 4 crore to get locked up in the house for 90 days informs our Khabri.

Of course Colours will not pay that kind of money to any inmate. So which celebrity phirang will make it to the house this time.

Did anyone ask Claudia Ciesla is she wants to go in again, now that her all-time heart-throb and hero is hosting this show? She can also use her “thora thora” knowledge of hindi to her benefit or maybe learn a new Indian language like maybe Marathi or Tamil this time. Did someone ask me why Tamil.

MEET THE OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE TWITTERER

Breaking News: Social scientists and psychologists in the USA announce a new phenomenon – the obsessive compulsive twitterer or OCT for short..

The guy (male or female) has a compulsive urge to tweet about everything under the sun. If he changes the air freshener in his toilet, he needs to tweet about that as well, effectively clogging up the popular website with inconsequential and mundane description of events or occurrences in his life, which otherwise nobody would be bothered about.

Then there are those who use Twitter as a personal chat room or a chat software (like gtalk or yahoo messenger) often indulging in private debate or discussions again which do not concern anyone else…

Mahesh Bhupathi, Lara Dutta Living In???

By Frank Franklyn  – indiawire.wordpress.com, 17 June 2010

There seems to be a lot of action in Mahesh Bhupathi’s life. While today, his estranged wife Shvetha Jaishankar denied that she was seeking a divorce or wanted a divorce, our sources say that Mahesh Bhupati and Lara Dutta may be close to living in – that is, if they not already in a live-in relationship.

Though Mahesh Bhupati, Shvetha and other family members took great pains to deny any “special relationship” with Lara Dutta when questioned by media persons, after reports of link ups between the two surfaced almost a year ago, senior sources in his own organization had some juicy gossip to share that seemed to agree with the time-tested adage: ‘there can’t be smoke with fire”. You know drivers, peons, office boys, secretaries, receptionists and such people in an organization may not be on Twitter, but their inputs definitely help.

A source within Globosport (the artiste and celebrity management company that Mahesh runs) told us that Mahesh Bhupati and Lara Dutta may be readying their own private and top secret ‘Love Nest’. While we were unable as of today to in any way clarify or verify this so-called information and in all honesty must leave it for now as only gossip, if this bit of news does turn out to be true, remember we told you first.

Meanwhile both Mahesh Bhupathi and Shvetha Jaishankar have gone into damage control mode. We suggest that Mahesh Bhupathi gets some new spin doctors. It’s no use trying to put out a fire that you yourself helped light, right Mr Bhupathi?

Shvetha told daily newspaper DNA today, “Although I would not like to delve into my personal matters…I wish to clarify that the reference to me filing for a divorce is false. There is no question of differences arising over my role in the company.”

Meanwhile Shvetha refused to comment on her relationship with Mahesh’s sister Kavita, saying that she was not liable to discuss family matters with the press.

Apparently, both Shvetha and Kavita were keen on playing a key role in the organization, resulting in ego clashes and personality differences. All this while Mahesh was busy elsewhere and had no time to rein in the warring family members.

Editor of Savvy magazine, Andrea Costabir stuck to her story of the irreconcilable differences between Mahesh and Shvetha, saying that the marriage was definitely headed for Splitville or the rocks of Remo.

We tried hard to contact Lara Dutta and finally tracked down her personal assistant’s number, but when her assistant was told that it was regarding Mahesh Bhupathi she hung the phone on us. We wanted to ask her why she dropped Dino Morea like a hot potato when Bhupathi showed sudden interest in her almost a year ago.

Pakistani actress Reema Khan denies cleavage autograph incident with Salman Khan

Pakistani actress-turned-director and producer has denied that she asked Salman Khan to autograph her cleavage. In an interview to a Pakistani TV channel, she termed the reports as baseless and mere gossip and threatened legal action.

According to Reema Khan, “I never asked Salman Khan to autograph my cleavage. I am a responsible person and will never make such frivilous statements. I asked him for an autograph which I could keep forever and pointed to my heart. Some members of the press mistook that gesture and reported that I wanted him to autograph my cleavage.”

In an exclusive interview to this reporter, Reema Khan emphatically stated that she has been misquoted and mis-interpreted by the media. “I would never make such an irresponsible statement. The entertainment press as usual loves cooking up stories,” said Reema Khan.

Reema Khan added that she is looking forward to working and producing Bollywood films. “Bollywood is one of the biggest film industries in the World. Bollywood produces more than double the number of films produced in Hollywood. India is a huge film audience and the numbers are growing day by day. With a co-operative censor board and the massive reach of the internet media, Indian audiences are second to none,” she added.

She has threatened to sue the paper which first carried the report, say sources close to Reema Khan.

SALMAN KHAN REFUSES TO AUTOGRAPH PAKISTANI ACTRESS REEMA KHAN'S BOOBS

According to news reports, Pakistani actress Reema Khan was so “excited” with Salman Khan’s presence at a fashion event in Dubai recently, that she asked Sallu bhai to autograph her breasts. Salman Khan offered to give her an autograph on his shirt which he had flung into the air, but Reema Khan insisted that he sign her cleavage, which Sallu refused. When she kept at it, Salman Khan gave her the cold shoulder and subtly ignored her.

Salman Khan was in Dubai for his organisation Being Human which was a big success. Apart from the cricket match with Pakistani cricketers, Salman also had a fashion show where his friends from Bollywood like Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Sharman Joshi, Vatsal Sheth and Chunky Pandey participated with gusto.

Salman not only proved to be a showstopper on the ramp, but stopped Reema’s heartbeats as well for a moment or two. Our source said, “Salman has a huge fan following in Dubai. After their cricket match that Bollywood won against the Pakistani cricketers, the next day’s fashion show saw a huge number of fans at the event. The crowds went berserk when Salman walked the ramp and he didn’t disappoint them. He removed his shirt and threw it into the audience. Then, in true Salman style, he threw himself into the crowd. Pakistani actress Reema Khan grabbed the shirt and wanted Salman to sign it. She initially insisted naughtily that Salman should sign the autograph on her cleavage but Salman refused. She then tried getting him to sign the shirt. However, Salman being Salman, just refused to sign and gave her a cold shoulder.”

While he might have won many fans with his antics during the fashion show, he definitely lost one in the form of Reema Khan. Apparently Reema Khan was so miffed that she said she will not attend any of Sallu events in future, our sources said.
