Celina: Badhaai on sagaai!

                                                                  Oi oi.. what is this I'm hearing now? At a time when many of our starry folks are going off Twitter, Celina Jaitly is getting overactive. My parinda from Andheri's Lokhandwala Complex maintains that she has every reason to tweet on and on.

The sex siren is writing 'thank you' notes to her fans and everyone who is congratulating her on her engagement to Dubai-based restaurateur Peter Haag. Jaitly, who exchanged rings with Haag in the city during last year's Durga Puja, had kept her sagaai a raaz ki baat all this while.

However, when buzz about her secret shaadi made media headlines recently, Jaitly is clarifying that she will officially announce the wedding date soon. Seems like she wants to concentrate on her films and endorsements for now. Didn't know she had many either. But then, such is life dearies.

Weather woes for Saif, Kareena!

                                                                                         Sher Lock Holmes has just come in, saying he has an interesting tidbit on Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor from the shoot of their spy thriller, Agent Vinod.

A few weeks ago, when they were filming in Latvia, it was freezing, considering the thanda thanda cold cold winters high up in the north location.

However, it seems like Khan had it easier shooting in the outdoor locations as he was wearing a coat for his scenes... while Bebo was shivering in an off-shoulder outfit. My super sleuth recalls the actor-producer's take on his comfort as against his heroine's in such adverse weather, saying that Khan conceded that while heroes don't have much trouble, heroines end up looking better despite working in tougher conditions. Must admit, Saifu ki baat mein dum toh hai. What say Bebo?

It's not Rani, it's not Vidya, who is Jessica?

                                                             Everywhere you look for Jessica, all you can see is Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan and by now everyone knows that neither of these two ladies is Jessica but then who is? Jessica Lall is played by Myra Karn. Who is Myra? Well, she is a model but search for her on the web and even Google seems to be clueless about what this lady looks like.

Director Rajkumar Gupta has been very smart in keeping the identity of 'Jessica' under the wraps. Apparently, Gupta met Myra Karn at a coffee shop and finalised her for the film. He thought she had the looks and the character to play Jessica, reported Mumbai Mirror.

It is believed that producers and the director did not want to reveal the model's identity till the time the film was released and considering Myra is a newcomer, no one predicted people would get to know about it, a source told the tabloid.

SRK - Salman face-off averted!

                                                         It could have been a face-off, or a happily ever after. On Monday, January 3, when Bollywood arch rivals Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan walked out of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai within minutes of each other, the airport came to a standstill. Both stars were returning from Dubai, after having celebrated New Year’s Eve there, with their respective families.

According to eyewitness accounts, Shah Rukh walked out at 9.23pm, with wife Gauri and his son Aryan. A minute later, Salman walked out with his father Salim and stepmom Helen. Both actors were also spotted at the Dubai airport at around the same time.

The timing led to speculation that the stars may have finally buried the hatchet and started 2011 on a note of friendship. However, sources say the near-miss was completely coincidental. Both actors reported travelled to India on chartered flights, separately, and had no clue about the other’s presence at the airport.

However, adding to the mystery around the strange coincidence is a Mumbai tabloid’s report that at the airport, the actors’ cars were parked together. Despite the odds, there was no chance encounter between the Khans of Bollywood.

No wedding bells for Lisa (Movie Snippets)

                                                           Model-turned actress Lisa Ray has denied rumours that she is getting married to her Can adian friend W. Brett Wilson.

A newspaper had reported that the two had decided to take their friendship to another level and that marriage is on cards.

"Rumours of marriage??! Jeez! Why subject a great friendship to an imperfect institution," the 38-year-old actress posted on micro-blogging site Twitter Thursday.

Ajay, Emraan bond again

The audience loved Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi's intense roles in "Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai". The two actors are back again on screen in comic roles in "Dil to Baccha Hai Ji" and it seems they have bonded really well.

"It's always good to work with an actor like Ajay. He is brilliant at what he does. He has done a number of romantic comedies and this is my first time. But Ajay makes things easy for the co-stars who work along with him," said Emraan.

"He doesn't throw his weight around and does not talk like one of the seniors of the industry. We had a lot of fun shooting for 'Dil Toh Baccha..'," he added.

"Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji" is Madhur Bhandarkar's first attempt at comedy and will release Jan 28.

'Faltu' to release on All Fools' Day

This is no joke but Vashu Bhagnani's next release "Faltu" will hit big screens April 1.

This comedy is shot in the exotic locales of Mauritius and will be the directorial debut of choreographer Remo D'Souza.

"The film is due for release on April Fool's Day which goes with the theme of the film. The youthful zing about the film is only going to add to the movie's fortunes," said a source.

The movie stars Jackky Bhagnani, Puja Gupta, Arshad Warsi, Angad Bedi and Riteish Deshmukh.

Priyanka, Katrina patch-up? No way!

                                                                        If you thought Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif hugged at Salman's Being Human event to start a new friendship, think again! The actors didn't even say a formal hello to each other at a recent event.

Piggy Chops and Kat came face to face at an awards function, but behaved as strangers. They didn't even say hi to each other, forget about a warm hug.

An eyewitness told Mumbai Mirror, “Priyanka and Katrina were next to each other for quite some time backstage. Their eyes met, but they did not give each other even a faint smile. They behaved like total strangers. There was ample opportunity for both the ladies to at least acknowledge each other’s presence but even that did not happen. Everyone around them noted this.”

To refresh surfers' memory, Priyanka and Katrina are at loggerheads since the latter replaced former in Dostana sequel, and Priyanka in turn replaced Katrina in Anurag Basu's Silence (now titled Barfi).

Even at IPL awards, the actors kept their distance. So we wonder, why they had to give jadu ki jhappi to each other at Salman's event? Keep guessing.
