First came out the pics and now the video. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were spotted together in Tel Aviv. Though the Slumdog Millionaire actors have denied any link ups but it seems they are a couple now. Freida is shooting for Julian Schnabe’s film Miral currently.
If you missed the pics, here is the link.
After many denials, they have finally come out together. Or were they caught ? People magazine has published exclusive pictures of Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, sharing a meal at a restaurant in Tel Aviv. The Slumdog Millionaire actors came close during the worldwide promotional activities of the film.
Freida already has few big films in her kitty. She is currently shooting for Julian Schnabel’s new film Miral. Dev flew in from London to be with her. Dev’s mother has confirmed that the two are a couple. All it takes, is just one film!
…..is back. And what a bitch he is. But we absouletly love him. Because when he uses those sharp claws, he is damn interesting. No, we are not talking about Wolverine. He is apna desi wolverine in scribe’s get up. Its Khalid Mohamed, critic turned filmmaker turned bitch turned blogger. He has started blogging on aslibaat.com and the first victim of those sharp claws are Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Here is the link to the post.
Btw, if you are wondering why Vikram Bhatt is also on the same page, then let us explain. Vikarm and Khalid are the new best friends. When Khalid was the editor of HT Cafe, he gave space to Vikram to write his weekly column. Now Vikram is returning the favour. Aslibaat.com is ASA productions’ venture and Vikram is part of ASA, which produced his last few films. Also, if gossipmongers are to be believed, Vikram is soon going to produce Khalid’s next film.
And here is the most interesting bit….
Now ‘I’ is getting these lucrative offers to write this tell-all book that would shrink Amitabh Bachchan to Appu Raja size, make roast potatoes of Aamir Khan and bare the chest and some more of Salman Khan..and an infinite number of tinsel personalties.
wooohoo….We hope that Khalid takes up the offer soon because we love Appu Raja and roast potatoes! Waiting!
He is the new dude on the block. And post Rock On and Luck by Chance, the dude has become dudder. Made it to few magazine covers. More film offers poured in. Seems Farhan Akhtar has now made it to big league. Atleast thats what it looks like from his cover charges (the money you need to spend to put him on cover).
Mid-day has published the details. Have a look.
Farhan’s email for his staff payments, lists the following…
Driver Rs 1,000
Make-Up Rs 8,000
Hair Rs 7,000
Spot Boy Rs 2,000
Total cost Rs 18,000Gobble, gobble…

Twix Chocolates Rs 50/- per bar
Mars Chocolates Rs 25/- per bar
Tissue paper Rs 50/- per box

Chocholates, mentos, tissue papers, mineral water…WTF! Farhan wants to bill everything to the magazine! Even the driver, for driving from home to a studio and back. Dude, You Rock (On)!
Here is the full story.
Shah Rukh Khan is a bitter man these days. And if gossipmongers are to be believed, he is a man who cant digest defeat, onscreen or on field. After the disastrous performance of KKR ( Kolkata Knight Riders) and the daily doses by fakeiplplayer, Shah Rukh Khan is trying to forget it all and move on. Here is the sms that he sent out to KKR team mebers, fultoo Kabir Khan style!
Today’s Bombay Times & HT Cafe has published the sms of Shah Rukh Khan. If you missed it, here it is.
We try… we run… we jump… we fail… we attack… we fall… we rise… we hope… we wish… we go high… we go fast… we go slow… we go low… sports is such a great leveller.
You just can’t wish away your losses. I always believe something good lies within every bad moment… only as yet I can’t see the good, except that these defeats have bonded the whole KKR family closer. Have heard all the criticism about the team with sadness… the bad management… selling the business… removing players… none of which are true. As much as the kids are criticised, I guess a parent can’t dislike them. So I stand here… a bit alone… feeling responsible to all the sponsors for having let them down. I also stand with a huge resolve to set this straight as soon as possible. I also stand by my team feeling for them because I have seen them completely helpless at things going so wrong… only I don’t feel it as strongly as they all feel losing on the field… day after day. I love them even more now than I did before.
We accept our defeats… but accepting defeats does not mean we have lost… it means we accept the truth that we haven’t done our best… or our best is not good enough… it means we have something to look forward to… there is a whole area of this sport that we can conquer if we improve. There is no greater feeling than the fact that we can do better at something. There is something to look forward to… there is a positive desire when we wake up in the morning.
I love to win… but you can only love winning if you hate losing enough. I guess KKR has now reached the stage where we are hating to lose… we are disgusted with losses… and the only way to change is to go out and win. I also believe that all the criticism about us is coming true. It’s right for people to not like our team… it’s also in our hands to change that.
We very seldom get the chance to write our own destinies. The way of Allah is that He takes you down so much for you to realise that within all the losses lies the opportunity to correct them. That is the positive in losing so much. From the bottom the only way out is to look upwards. We can either blame everything else and lie there or blame ourselves and rectify our mistakes… our follies. At the bottom we lose our faith in God… it is made so… because God wants us to lose faith in Him and have faith in yourself. Unless you believe in yourself you can’t even believe in God… because we are His most loved creation. So the way forward is to believe in ourselves… believe in the good we can do for ourselves… believe in getting ourselves out of this rut.
Just believe. I believe therefore I am. I believe therefore we will be… I believe therefore God will be with us… I believe therefore we will be back. Korbo, lorbo, jeetbo.
PS: … and stop dropping the catches… that will help!!
Wooohooo…this must be the longest sms that we have read in our entire life. If only the KKR guys could play such long innings!
We love to wake up with two things by the bedside. Smell of coffee and hot gossip. This was one such day.
Bombay Times ( BT), which otherwise a potty paper published an exclusive interview with Trishala. And what an interview!
Trishala spoke out against Sanjay and Maanyata, how she is no more close to them and how she doesnt care about them anymore. She is also not happy with her dad Sanjay Dutt joining Samajwadi Party and not congress.
Here are some pricessless quotes from the interview –
I am not in touch with him as much as I am with my buas Priya and Namrata. I talk to them daily. I don’t care what he does. I have my own life and I am happy in that. I wish he had continued my grandfather Sunil Dutt’s legacy in the Congress. Even my nana is in the Congress. And so is Priya bua.
And some more…on her relationship with her dad…
I would say we were very close till two years ago,now it’s too late to find out what went wrong. I have moved on as far as he is concerned. I am not emotional about our relationship. I am like him in my temperament and attitude, so we cannot sort out our problems.
On the family holiday in the Bahamas….
He ( Sanjay) was hardly available. I would only meet him at night. That’s how Maanyata and I got to know each other. She’s nice to me but I still don’t know her well enough.
On Sanjay & Maanyata’s family plans…
I honestly don’t care about their plans. It doesn’t matter. I am happy in my own little world.
Well, we love Trishala! No, dont get us wrong. We are all for K Jo’s big fat family, values and traditions, but with Sanjay Dutt & Maanyata, and knowing their history, we would prefer pure gossip! Here is the online link of the interview.
We have been waiting to get the breaking news! Even Neil Nitin Mukesh has done one. When will our actresses learn ?
According to Mid-day, Kangana Ranaut has agreed to shoot a nude scene for a Telugu film directed by Puri Jagannath. And as expected, she has been paid a whopping amount for it. The film is currently on floors in Hyderabad.
We always believed that she is the bold one. We love Kangana for just one reason, the way she says Bastard, oops, its Baasteerd! Check out any film of hers, Gangster, Metro, Woh Lamhe, Raaz2. Nobody says it better than her. Now, we got one more reason to love her!

Bad habits die hard. And if you are having bad days, then you will do anything to have some sunshine in your life. According to Juicymausi ( buzz18.com) Shah Rukh Khan is back to Mumbai, not for the vote, but its all about notes! He will be dancing at the wedding of builder Kanti Govani’s nephew. And he has been paid 3 crores for the same. Few more bollywood stars are suppose to perform with him. If not on field, he can make good money off field for sure!
Also, according to Rediff.com, Shah Rukh Khan will NOT return to South Africa anytime soon. He will go back only if his team ( Kolkata Knight Riders) starts winning. Why ? Because its too much sadness all around. And he can’t take it any more.
Someone needs to tell Shah Rukh and now- Dude, its not Filmfare that you can buy the trophy or put the demand that you will attend it only if you win. Nobody gives a fuck, Mr Shah Rukh Khan. With you or without you, the IPL will go on.
First he took all the possible wrong decisions and when its time to face the consequences, he is running away. As they say, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going ( back home!).
Mumbai Mirror has published details about Karan Johar’s next production. Its K3 G, oops only K3 – Karan, Kajol and Kareena. Again. Last time they came together for the blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham ( K3G).
The yet-to-be-titled film will be directed by debutante Siddharth Malhotra, who is production house Cinevistaa’s chairman Prem Kishen’s son and grandson of the late Prem Nath. Siddharth was the creative producer of the hit TV serial Sanjivani and was responsible for conceptualising and shaping it.
And according to gossipmongers, the film is loosley based on Hollywood film Stepmom which had Susan Sarandon and Juila Robers in lead roles.
The Mexican edition of the OK! magzine has published few pics of one of the most awaited films of the year, Kites. Directed by Anurag Basu, it has Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut and Barbar Mori in the lead.
Btw, the rumours of Hrithik and Barbara’s affair seems to be all true. And guess who leaked it ? None other than Suzaane Roshan. Why and how ? Check out this space tommorw. Exclusive dope.
