Bollywood sex siren Mallika Sherawat, who recently returned to Mumbai from Los Angeles, is quite upset with Priyanka Chopra for copying her style in the reality show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 3’ Venting her ire in a witty manner, Mallika tweeted about Piggy Chops wrapping a giant python around her neck for KKK, and wrote, “Priyanka knows a gud idea when she sees it hee :-) (sic)” Apparently, Mallika had sashayed the red carpet at the Cannes festival in May 2010, with a black and yellow python wrapped around her neck. She did this to promote Jennifer Lynch’s flick ‘Hisss’, in which she plays a snake woman. In KKK, Priyanka Chopra reprised Mallika’s python stunt by holding a 45kg reptile on her petite frame. An amused Mallika tweeted the picture few days back saying, “An example of what’s on store on kkk3…me n ANACONDA!! (sic)”

Filmmaker Karan Johar has used the social networking site, Twitter to slam rumours involving Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, her husband, Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif. Karan tweeted: "Rumours about Aishwariya dissuading Abhishek from working with Katrina are absolutely baseless and ridiculous!!! The cast of Dostana 2 is Abhishek, John and Katrina and we start filming early next year!! Bringing Aishwarya into this is unwarranted!!" Dostana 2 , directed by Tarun Mansukhani, is the sequel to the 2008 film starring John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra. Abhishek and Katrina have already been paired opposite each other in Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar .

The sassy beauty has reportedly refused a million dollar deal from a renowned Hollywood studio since it required her to share her personal space and shoot at her home. As per reports, Aishwarya was offered a personal documentary on the lines of one made on Shah Rukh Khan. The deal was proposed by a known foreign studio that had been chasing Aishwarya for over months now. Though Ash had initially decided to give it a thought, it is stated that she declined the offer after she was told that the documentary would require her to do a shoot at home. Confirming the news, a source said, “Despite the team courting her for months, Ash didn`t budge and maintained her stand. Ash politely declined the deal saying she would never let anyone shoot her at home.” Well, the Bachchans sure know how to keep their personal life private.

She is currently shooting for an item song Sheela ki Jawani for Farah Khan's much touted film TEES MAAR KHAN . It is believed that the song is inspired from Jumma Chumma from HUM starring Amitabh Bachchan and Kimi Katkar. As seen in the picture, Kat is surrounded by men holding beer-mugs, a la Jumma Chumma. Her exposed midriff, for which she had to work a lot, is attracting a lot of eyeballs. According to reports, Katrina will be seen in six different looks in the song. We are sure, all fans of Katina Kaif must be eagerly waiting for this one.

Looks like Emraan Hashmi is all about trying out new things. The song, Mere Bina, from his next film Crook -- It's good to be bad , sees him dressed up as a girl and a vampire! The story goes back to shooting of the song, where the film's director Mohit Suri wanted to shoot a fun song in Australia but wasn't getting it right and called a break. Meanwhile, Emraan went in to a shop that stocked wigs and costumes. He randomly tried some female costumes and vampire teeth. That's when Mohit suggested he incorporate the same for the song.

Kareena Kapoor might have shared some hot and intimate scenes with her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan in Kurbaan but she is adamant not to repeat it. The latest we hear is that Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine has been pushed to the backseat, as Kareena is not happy with love-making scenes. Kareena should get intimate with five different men in Bhandarkar's Heroine if she were to go by the original script. Her role is said to be based on several acresses including Marilyn Monroe and Divya Bharti. But surprisingly, the director is said to have been forced to rewrite the love-making portion after the actress expressed her displeasure. However, Kareena denied the news that she has forced the makers of Heroine to edit the love-making scenes. She said that they would start shooting for the film when Bhandarkar is ready with the script. She is currently busy with Agent Vinod while Bhandarkar is busy with Dil To Bachcha Hai Jee .

Katrina certainly has a lot going for her- not only is she considered the most bankable actress in Bollywood, but also gained kudos for her performance in this year’s hit ‘Rajneeti’. Add to this a blossoming romance with Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor Ranbir Kapoor and you have an almost-perfect life. But seems like Kat is more ambitious that we believed her to be. She is all set to launch younger sister Isabelle in Bollywood and start her own production company. Isabelle is a replica of Katrina, albeit shorter and has an acting degree from New York. Rumors suggest that she may act in Farah Khan or Karan Johar’s next film. Katrina also has plans to launch Isabelle in her own production company’s maiden venture. Isabelle will join a long list of ‘star-sisters’ who have tried to break-in thanks to support from their successful siblings. Unfortunately, barring Karishma-Kareena, most others have failed to make an impact (Tanishaa, Shamita Shetty, Rinky Khanna).

Sushmita Sen has finally decided to tie the knot one day but with whom it’s not disclosed. "Well, I will get married.

I will show you the full sample whenever it happens," she added. So the girl is serious after her series of link-ups and break-ups like Randeep Hooda, ad man Manav Menon, Bunty Sachdev, Wasim Akram.

The controversy was triggered after Katrina Kaif, who is reportedly in a realtionship with the actor for quite sometime, said she was ‘ single ‘.

The 45 year old actor, who is facing trail for killing black bucks in Rajasthan over a decade ago, said that the case does not stand against him. Salman said, “There is no case against me. The first post mortem report of the animals did not show that they were killed by bullets. It is only said in the second report. I have been fighting the case for 11 years and till date have to take Jodhpur Court’s permission before travelling anywhere”. He had another brush with the law in a hit and run case in 2002, when his car crashed near American Express bakery in Bandra, killing one man and injuring others. Salman said, “Each time I pass the spot, it hurts me. Its t...

Katrina Kaif s' refusal to star opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Abbas Mustan ’s ‘Italian Job’ has not gone well with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. In the consequence of Kat’s refusal, it is rumored that she asked her hubby Abhishek Bachchan not to share screen space with Katrina Kaif in ‘Dostana 2’. Katrina at first accepted to do ‘Italian Job’ but later she walked out of the project citing dates problem.
