Ah all the Bollywood beauties have determined to rule the world! First it was Ash, then Mallika, later Shilpa and now it is Bipasha Basu. The lady who avoided stage anchoring due to her short-sight, which causes trouble for her to read the teleprompter, is now ready to take up the job for history’s sake. “History beckons me! I have been given the honour of hosting the official declaration ceremony for the New 7 Wonders of the World in Lisbon on July 7. So, I’ve got myself contact lenses. All these years I stubbornly resisted them and risked losing friends after looking through them in public. But now that I will be hosting this event with the likes of Ben Kingsley and Hillary Swank, and at which Jennifer Lopez will be performing, I’d be foolish not to correct my eyesight. I can see everything so clearly now!” said the ravishing Bipasha. She exclaimed, “I don’t know what made them choose me, maybe it was my appearance at Cannes last month. But I’m deeply honored and flattered. This is the first time that the 7 Wonders are being reconsidered. To be part of this is to be part of history. And I wouldn’t have missed it for anything in world, certainly not for being short-sighted. It would be my friend Rocky S for the Indian outfit, and that’s a saree. Armani will do my western outfit.” So all the people out there who have problems with their eye sight should do the same and should not miss the chance of seeing the hottest Bollywood celebrity with her Hollywood counterparts. The event will be held in Lisbon.

It seemed as if Abhishek Bachchan and wife Aishwarya Rai took the title ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ a little too literally during the special screening of the film. A few stars and their families were invited by Shaad Ali and YRF for the screening. Abhi-Ash arrived at the spot with potlis of coins and started throwing the coins on the screen. And needless to say the coins missed destination and fell on the special guests seated in the front row. Also Abhishek, unable to keep his excitement, was hooting, screening, giggling and dancing with wife Ash. This vexed the guests and an ashamed Shaad Ali and friends had nothing to do but hide their faces. As the credits rolled Ash, Abhishek and Preity cheered aloud but Lara and Bobby kept their dignity by being sober. Hmm…sounds like daddy Amitabh didn’t give any tips on humility to his son and daughter-in-law.

Looks like the hottest couple of Bollywood are on the splits Ville. Is it raining splits in Bollywood? First the rumors were about Salman and Katrina splitting up and now it is the five year hot romance between John Abraham and Bipasha Basu that is going down the drain. Bipasha has had enough and more with John’s infidelity. The recent two flings that John had were Vidya Balan and now it is debutant actress Seetal Menon (John’s co-star in Nari Hira’s Bhram). Bipasha’s friendship with Saif has also raked up the rumors but the actress says it is no more than friendship. Well, if whatever is happening is true then it is not good! Surely these developments are not good for a relation that has had five years of love. Hope they live together!

Aishwarya is one among the Indians who have made it big internationally. After her critically appreciated role in Provoked and her completely international project The Last Legion it is now time to see our lady gorgeous on U.S television. No, she won’t be doing a reality show but will be see in the top U.S sci-fi serial Heroes. Heroes-TV has reported that the actress will appear in 8 episodes of the up coming series of the NBC show about ’superhuman’ beings.

August 3rd is going to see a very secretive and a different version of Gandhiji. The great man who was ‘father of the nation’ for India was never a father for his own son.

Anil Kapoor’s ambitious project ‘Gandhi- My Father’ starring Darshan Jariwala, Akshaye Khanna, Bhumika Chawla, Shefali Shah and Daniel Janks, is all set to release on August 3rd. The movie has been kept under wraps till now and will be so till its release. We have great hopes on this movie. Great choice for Akshaye Khanna!

London is all for Bollywood with ShahRukh Khan and Shilpa Shetty around. So Yash Raj Films have planned to utilize this fame and cash on it. YRF’s Chak De featuring SRK as an ageing coach will be premiered on August at Somerset House in London. SRK with his whole team will be present for the screening.
