Rajkumar Hirani goes for a change from Sanjay Dutt to Shahrukh Khan. Who can forget the rediscovery of Gandhian views in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, it was one of the finest movies of Sunjay Dutt and now it will be Shahrukh Khan creating the same magic for us. Hirani has decided to take Shahrukh Khan for his next project. Hirani was always interested to work with SRK and Sharukh khan was his first choice for Munnabhai MBBS but things didn’t work out with him so Sanjay Dutt got the role.

Bond movies are sure a rave in India and there have been rounds of talks in our tinsel town that Ash might be one of Bond’s favorite ladies in the coming movies. But those talks have always gone into oblivion. However, a new candidate, a highly likely one I suppose, has been chosen for talks by the producers of the bond film. And the new candidate is none other than our very dear Shilpa Shetty!The producers and Shilpa’s team are having secret talks on the 23rd Bond movie with Daniel Craig as Bond. Sources have been quoted saying, “Shilpa is having secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie. As far as they are concerned, she has it all — she is beautiful, feisty and a great actress. But they also want someone who is a big star…which Shilpa is…She has a huge following in Bollywood as well as a number of fans in the Western world - especially in Britain - so she will be great for box office sales.” While the 22nd bond movie is being shot with Craig, script writers are already working on the 23rd in the bond series. So let us wait and watch if Shilpa makes it in the series.

Shilpa Shetty has been honored with a doctorate by the Leeds Metropolitan University for her outstanding contribution to cultural diversity. Shilpa Shetty is the youngest of all the actors in Indian Film Industry to join the camp of Amitabh Bachchan, Shaban Azmi and Yash Chopra.

How many of you are wondering what makes Shilpa keep up that deadly figure? Well, first answer is her natural curves that are not affected by the food she eats and second is her trainer Sherin Poojari. Shilpa has opened a gym at home for herself and sister Shamita and has got Poojari to train both of them to keep the physique.

She has been planning to have her restaurant chain in London and also her own cloth line. But one thing that has seen the day’s light is her perfume S2.

’It is really unique and very international yet it has an ethnic feel to it. It’s something that is very synonymous with me. I chose the name S2 because I thought that is a brand that can go on for my other products as well my own clothing line which I do intend on doing. I may even have a jewelry line,” said Shilpa. She was recently honored at IIFA for the global impact she created through Big Brother. Great going Shilpa!

London has been mesmerized by Shilpa’s beauty and it will be miserably enchanted by her fragrance too. Shilpa Shetty will be launching her own perfume range called S2 on June 12. The markets targeted are UK and Gulf. Manufacturers Fragrance and Beauty are the team behind this perfume launch. And Shilpa sounds all very happy the way the fragrance has shaped up: “I selected the final fragrance and am very happy with it. The perfume lasts really long and has notes of jasmine and citrus to it”.

Crazy about Shilpa Shetty? Even if you are not you will find her extremely hot when you see the coming ‘Cine Blitz’ cover. And to add fire works to the coverpage Shiney Ahuja has given his first bare-chested look with Shilpa’s ultra-revealing backless dress. And the interview in the magazine shows great chemistry between the two stars, which generates hopes for Anurag Basu’s film “Metro”. Their spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar says, “Shilpa has matured into a versatile actress over the years. But it’s only now that people are sitting up and noticing her. As for Shiney, he’s been a powerhouse performer right from ‘Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi’ to ‘Gangster’ to ‘Woh Lamhe’. The combination of these two talents could be quite an interesting watch.” So may be you can catch the Cine Blitz magazine first and then catch the Metro on the 11^th of May. I swear Shilpa is looking her hottest best on the mag cover!
