Simbu sings for Ennai Theriyuma

The actor has sung the remix version of ‘Thanni Karuthudichu’ for ‘Ennai Theriyuma’, whose audio launch is on Sunday. Superstar Rajinikanth has been invited to be the chief guest. But will the actor perturbed by Kuselan’s problems, make an appearance is anybody’s guess. ‘Thanni Karuthudichu’, a popular song from ‘Ilamai Oonjalaadhugiradhu’, has been remixed and rendered in both Tamil and Telugu for ‘Ennai Theriyuma’, which launches Mohan Babu’s son Manoj as the hero.

Sneha Ullai and Riya Sen play the heroines of this movie, which has music by Achu. Achu, actually Arun, is the son of popular Malayalam music director C Rajamani.

The music of this movie is said to be a fusion of carnatic and hip hop. This film was made in Telugu as ‘Nenu Meeku Telusa’, directed by Ajay Sastri. In the movie, Manoj is said to play the role of an amnesia patient. With Mohan Babu being a bosom friend of Rajinikanth, it is expected that the Superstar will make it to the audio launch function on Sunday.

But sources close to the Superstar reveal that he is perturbed by the entire controversy shrouding ‘Kuselan’, and may not appear in public to launch the audio. Source: www.newindpress.com

Shriya with Kamal Haasan

It was reported a few days earlier that Shriya would play the heroine in Kamal Haasan’s ‘Marmayogi’. But then the news has turned out to be totally false. Shriya was in Chennai for a brief period and has categorically denied her association with ‘Marmayogi’.
I was quite surprised to see the media go hammer and tongs on me being a part of ‘Marmayogi’ because nobody had approached me to be a part of the film. If such an opportunity came, I’ll most definitely be one of the happiest people in the world”, says Shriya.

The gorgeous actress has her hands full at the moment and is part of Vikram’s ‘Kanthasamy’ and was in Mexico for the film’s shooting. She is slated to start filming for ‘Jaggubhai’ soon where she plays Sarath Kumar’s daughter. K. S. Ravikumar would direct that film.

Shriya will be pairing with Dhanush once again as she will be joining the successful ‘Polladhavan’ team soon, for their next film. Director Vetri Maaran is currently coming up with a story that’s expected to have a slick and compelling narration.

The two Hollywood projects that Shriya has been part of have reportedly shaped up very well. ‘The Other End of the Line’ produced by Ashok Amritraj has the actress play a Call Center employee who falls in love with a customer just by listening to his voice.
The other English movie she is working in is Deepa Mehta’s ‘What’s Cooking’ where she’ll share screen space with Seema Biswas and Lisa Ray.

Shriya is also part of a Hindi project titled ‘Mission Istanbul’ which is expected to release by the end of this month.

He said, “I took the suit home and my wife and I use it sometimes. Just around the house. It’s great.”

The 39-year-old star, also known by the nickname ‘Big willy’, revealed his perfect day would be to play a round of golf with his wife, catch a movie and rush home for some romantic time alone with Jada. He added, “It would have to be a horror film. Horror films make her all clingy”.

Jarbou said that his friend recognized Eminem when he walked into the restroom. The guy called out to Eminem but the singer’s bodyguard told him to shut up. Jarbou replied that it was cool to see Eminem and this was when the singer allegedly punched Jarbou in his face.

Eminem, aka Marshall Mathers III, could not be reached for comment. Mathers’ lawyer declined to return the phone calls made to his office to request for a comment. Miad Jarbou’s lawyer, Leon Weiss, also refused to discuss about the case.

I don't want to be called hot: Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif's sizzling number "Sexy lady" in "Race" and now an impending item song in the sporty film "Blue" have given her a sensuous image, but she's surprisingly uncomfortable with it.

"I want to retain the image of the girl next door. I don't want the hot image. Even in 'Sexy lady' I'm fully clothed. I'm still the girl next door. It's not the conventionally sexy kind of song," Katrina told IANS.

"Race", where she's pitched for the sensuous sweepstakes against Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy, has Katrina pulling out all the stops to erase the homely image.

But she says: "I don't think so. Everything in 'Race' looks larger-than-life, very fulsome, urgent and exaggerated. The actors are styled accordingly. I haven't done anything like it. Everyone's talking about it. I guess that's a good sign."

Katrina is equally reluctant to accept she's doing the most expensive item song ever in "Blue".

"I wouldn't know about how expensive it is, but I'm doing a special appearance in 'Blue' and the song-dance is part of it. Yeah, I'm part of the film in a unique way. Akshay Kumar got me into it.

"As for the expenses, nowadays so many numbers are thrown into the public's face. I don't think it's right for actors to talk about the financial side of a film," said the actress who gave hits like "Namastey London" and "Welcome" last year.

Next, ask her about the status of her relationship with Salman Khan and she clams up. "I'd like to keep that personal."

Is it right to presume she's still with Salman?

"You can presume whatever you like. You can presume I'm an alien from outer space, if you like. Right now I'm in a very happy place.

"Even rumours of us actresses fighting for space in 'Race' is way off the mark. I've my own place in 'Race'. My confidence-level has grown in recent times and, yes, it's partly because of the hits that I've had."

After a number of films where her voice was dubbed Katrina finally used her own voice in "Namastey London". And now she says she has dubbed for "Race".

"I've been working very hard on my diction. I try to speak in Hindi in my daily dealings."

After being with Salman, who patented the name Prem in a series of films, Katrina seems stuck with another Prem, Ranbir Kapoor, who's her co-star in Rajkumar Santoshi's "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani".

"I guess they're worth being stuck with," she replied tongue-in-cheek. "I just love the script, my character and Ranbir's role. He's so much into his work. I'm also getting there. For me acting is no longer a hobby."

Madonna's housewife blues

Madonna is reportedly sick of being a housewife.
The '4 Minutes' singer, who is married to director Guy Ritchie, can't wait to embark on her upcoming tour and focus on dominating the music charts.

A source close to the couple said: "Madonna has tried playing the dutifulwife and mother, but it's just not for her. She has to have 101 things going on in her life to keep her motivated.

"She'll never stop until she is recognised as the world's biggest star again rather than a stay-at-home housewife."

Despite rumours Madonna and Guy's relationship has hit a rocky patch, the couple are believed to get on better when they are living apart.

The source added: "With Madonna on tour, she and Guy will be leading separate lives yet again, which means they get on so much better. When they are only speaking every few days and not seeing each other, the marriage runs a lot smoother."
