Shahrukh drops Katrina from 'Temptation Reloaded Tour'

In a reciprocal move of his ongoing feud with Salman Khan , Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has dropped Katrina Kaif from his 'Temptation Reloaded Tour'.

Katrina was to perform along with Kareena Kapoor , Arjun Rampal , Javed Ali , Anushka Dandekar and Ganesh Hedge in the ‘Temptation Reloaded Tour’ that is touted as the next big thing after the Bachchans’ ‘Unforgettable Tour’.

But SRK, who like a true Scorpion has a huge ego and also being the king of the show, decided to blacklist Katrina.

Seems like Katrina will also bear the brunt of this ugly face off between SRK and Salman even though she has been fuming over Salman’s misbehaviour at her birthday bash and has reportedly ended her relationship with him.

This seems to be one of the many conflicts that are yet to come as the feud is nowhere drawing to a happy ending any time soon.

Music of 'Chamku' released in Mumbai

Music of Bollywood romantic thriller 'Chamku' was released in Mumbai on Tuesday. Bollywood actor Dharmendra released the music of the film in a ceremony where film fraternity glitterati were present. The film is being produced under the banner of Vijayta Films Private Limited and directed by Kabeer Kaushik.

This is the second film directed by Kabeer Kaushik who made his debut as a director with his first 'unconventional' creation Sehar. Kabeer Kaushik's film 'Chamku' stars Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Arshad Warsi, Ritesh Deshmukh, Irrfan Khan and Danny Denzongpa. The film 'Chamku' is the story of a Naxalite, Chandramohan Singh aka Chamku (Bobby Deol), with a brutal past of political assassinations.

He was trained as an assassin under a covert governmental program. He moves from Bihar to Mumbai, where a chance encounter entangles him in the world of crime once again. His life takes a completely new turn when he meets Priyanka Chopra.

Speaking about his role in this film Bobby Deol said, "Chamku is a film which is very realistic kind of a film. I play the central character whose name is 'Chamku'. It is based on him that's why it is named Chamku." "Chamku is a boy, whose family gets killed when he was a child and then he was taken over by a naxalite. His life from there moves on and then the government takes over because they are looking for the people like him to train them to be a part of a convert programme.

Then one day he meets a woman and he realizes that there is more in life than where he is," Bobby Deol added. Bollywood's actress Priyanka Chopra whose last film 'Love Story-2050' could not set the silver screen on fire was excited on being part of this film.

"My favourite track in the film is 'Aa Ja Mil Ke'. It is a very melodious and a soft song. I think one will really enjoy this track while driving one's car on a rainy day. I play the character of a Kindergarten school teacher, who is leading her daily life and suddenly 'Chamku' (Bobby Deol) enters her life and her life is completely changed," said Priyanka. Music of the film is by Monty Sharma while Sameer has penned the lyrics. Singers like Shreya Ghosal, Shail, Richa Sharma, Vaishali Samant and Anaida have lent their melodious voices to the songs of the movie. The film 'Chamku' is slated for an August release.

L.A. Police Chief Knows His Celebs

L.A. police chief William Bratton knows why paparazzi activity has quieted down in his city...it's because their favorite targets are no longer so interesting:

If you notice, since Britney [Spears] started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris [Hilton] is out of town not bothering anybody anymore — thank God — and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue.

Bratton obviously follows celeb news pretty closely. So he thinks it's real between Lindz and Sam? I wonder what he thinks of Shia's problems. And Charlie and Denise. Gosh, he must have a lot of time on his hands. Being police chief of a major, crime-ridden city is apparently not that taxing a job.

Crazy Bitch Body-Slammed Mini-Me

Human butt-plug Verne Troyer is suing the woman he appeared in that sex tape with for allegedly beating the shit out of him. Troyer's filing claims the woman, Ranae Shrider, once gained entry to a bedroom he was hiding in by picking a lock and moving a scooter he had placed as a barricade, then proceeded to body-slam him. "When you pick up a 2'8" human being and throw him to the floor, it hurts," said Troyer's lawyer. Well, unless the floor is made of mattresses or fluffy pillows. Or your body is made of Flubber.

Troyer is suing Shrider for $20 million, claiming emotional distress. Come on Verne...do you really need money so bad that you'd concoct such a silly lawsuit? There must be plenty of other ways for you to turn a dollar. Maybe you could rent yourself out as a garden gnome. Or get work cleaning people's gutters by crawling through them. Or start a weird midget football league where the midgets are the footballs. Be creative.

At Least Make Us Work at It...

Jessica Simpson made the mistake of talking to Elle Magazine about intimate matters. Now we have way more stuff to make fun of her about. Like this remark she made about how she tried too hard to please the men she dated after her divorce from Nick Lachey:

I was going through a lot of pain. I didn't try anything to change my life other than dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds. I thought I had to be artsier, more intellectual.

So she bought herself a bunch of Curious George books and hunkered down to study. God Jess...at least make it hard for us, would you?

Okay, I know...it's not nice to make fun of the mentally challenged. Fuck it. Here's what Jessica said about her relationship with Tony Romo:

Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me. He appreciates my talent. He's the first person I've spiritually connected with.

Um, Jess...Way #1 guys have of "getting to" chicks they want to bone: Flattery. Example: "That's a fantastic song you wrote Jess. You're really talented." Way #2: Talking shit. Example: "I feel like you're the only one who really knows me. Like our spirits are connected, you know?" Jesus Jess, didn't Papa Joe teach you anything (except how to put on a training bra)?

Jess gives us more...on John Mayer:

John believed in the Jessica Simpson that's within. He cherished our love. He helped make me the woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else.

Yeah, you knew you were supposed to be with someone else Jess...when he told you. And sure, John will be an amazing man for someone. And then someone else. And someone else. And I ain't even gonna guess why you suddenly decided to start referring to yourself in the third person. Maybe because you've gone completely nuts?

(This post is dedicated to Jebbica who's been having her troubles lately. Hope this cheers you up Jebbers. I know you enjoy it when people crush Simpsons.)

Not Interested in Act 2

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have touched off rumors of a re-kindled romance. Apparently Gosling was DJing at a jazz club and Rachel showed up to see him...and of course someone got a picture of the two of them and now the lame-o's are all a-twitter. Gosling looks hostile here and Rachel has ugly legs. Look at these two long enough and you could come down with narcolepsy.

How About Johnny as Batman?

The Dark Knight is a huge smash, so naturally everyone is talking about a third Batman film (in the second cycle). Casting rumors are running from Johnny Depp as The Riddler to Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin to (the inevitable) Angelina Jolie as Catwoman. I personally like the idea of Johnny entering the Batman universe, but I've got a better role for him: Batman. Yes, I said it. Warners should dump Christian Bale and hire Johnny Depp to play Batman/Bruce Wayne. Bale is fine but he's too clammy and cold and distant...Batman needs some warmth and humor and jaunty charm. Depp would be wasted as The Riddler...fuck, Jim Carrey played The Riddler, so obviously that role requires no particular talent.

Of course people are also talking about bringing The Joker back for Batman 3, which is obviously problematic given the way Heath Ledger took possession of that character (and then, you know, died). I don't think Batman 3 needs The Joker though...Dark Knight laid out pretty much everything The Joker is about; there's really nowhere else to go with him, so just leave him behind. And as for Robin...Christian Bale has said he would quit the series if Robin were written into it, and I agree with him. Robin is possibly the dumbest character in all superherodom. The first Batman cycle was, let's face it, already screwed by the time Chris O'Donnell came on-board as the Boy Wonder...but Robin's absurd presence was certainly the last nail in the coffin (well, that and Arnold Schwarzenegger). I wouldn't be able to take any Batman movie seriously that had Robin in it. Or Batgirl. Maybe Catwoman, but only if the casting were right. Not Angelina - that bitch sucks the joy out of everything she touches. Oh, I know...the perfect Catwoman:

Amy Winehouse.

I'm a genius.

Freeze-Out

Britney is so over Sam Lutfi, the con artist who ran her life before her family swooped in and banished him. A restraining order has kept Lutfi far away from Britney for months, and now that order has expired...but though Britney's people aren't seeking an extension, they have made plain how Britney is supposed to feel about her former controller:

Britney has made clear to everyone that she does not want to be further harassed or contacted in any way by Osama 'Sam' Lutfi, now or at anytime in the future.

Well, Britney hasn't made anything clear to anyone, including herself, for a long time. So that means someone else made it clear to someone else that this is how it's going to be, and now they want that made clear to Mr. Lutfi. Which is probably a good thing given that, when Lutfi was in charge of Britney's life, he used to mix her medications himself, and wouldn't let her have a cell-phone charger in the house (but charged his own cell-phone straight off a car battery).

Katie Does Tom's Cruising for Him

Some New York City firemen are sitting around outside their little firehouse when Katie Holmes drops by for a chat. We all know the connection - Katie's a Scientologist and Scientology is big on "helping" the afflicted 9/11 workers via their insane quackery. So what's Katie doing here, a follow-up? Is she officially some kind of doctor of Scientology? Wouldn't shock me. We know you don't need any training to know anything in Scientology...just a lot of cash and command of some goofy lingo. Or, maybe Katie is just out trying to pick up a man for Tom?

From Her Lips to God's Ears...

Pop twit Avril Lavigne has made a lot of people happy by saying she has no present plans to reproduce. "Oh God! I don't want to have kids for like ten years," the flaming idiot told OK! magazine. "I still have a lot to do. I don't even know if I could handle a dog right now. I'm so not ready. Someday I'll be a mum but not until I'm in my 30s."

Would that be 130s? Seriously Avril, just get your tubes tied. The world's in a dire enough state as it is...the last thing it needs is little copies of you running around. Little fang-toothed no-talent asswipes.

Scientology a Crime Syndicate

Former Scientologist Paul Letterese has sued the church for $250 million in federal court, alleging that Scientology is a crime syndicate no different than the mob. He characterizes Tom Cruise as the "right-hand man" of COS boss David Miscavige, saying Cruise "has assisted the syndicate in acquiring funds and [made] his own donations of money believed to be in the multiple tens of millions of dollars." Letterese also claims to have been harassed by the church, alleging that a member once posed as his homosexual lover in an effort to smear his name. He also claims intellectual property infringement by the church over their educational use of a business book, "Effective Sales and Closing Techniques," that he says he holds the rights to. Oh, and they killed his cat.

Okay, I made up the part about the cat...but really, would you put it past them?

Scientology has shot back in the usual ways. They say Letterese is nothing but a disgruntled former member who shouldn't be taken seriously, that Cruise's name is only being dragged into it for the publicity value, and that the dispute over the book was already cleared up in court. COS also points out the $266,000 Letterese was forced to cough up in penalties after he failed to make his case in California court earlier this year. Letterese apparently wants the feds to take up the matter as a RICO case, and bust the church the same way they busted the Mafia. Sorry dude...the Mafia may have been rich and connected, but Scientology has Xenu on their side. And Leah Rimini. Can't beat that combo.

Genelia D’Souza is basking in the glory of her first hit film.

The buzz is that she is being floored with offers from advertising companies, which want her to be the face of their products – thanks to her fresh looks. But, the grapevine has it that the actress is quoting an exorbitant price. But Genelia clarifies with it all, “I am still a newcomer and not in a position to quote a heavy price.”

Meanwhile, the actress says that she shares a special bond with Amitabh Bachchan. “I was taken by surprise when I saw a beautiful bouquet waiting for me at home.

It was from Mr Bachchan, with a best wishes card attached to it. He was also there at the premiere of Jaane Tu... and wished me good luck. It is a great feeling to get such encouraging compliments from a person of his stature,” says Genelia.

Katrina to play with Ranbir Kapoor in Rajneeti

World’s sexiest woman', Katrina Kaif, has paired opposite most of the A-listers of Bollywood be it Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Govinda or her real life beau, Salman Khan. And, now she is all set to pair opposite the 'yummy boy' Ranbir Kapoor in Prakash Jha’s 'Rajneeti'. Katrina will be seen as Ranbir's love interest in this flick.

The lass is certainly making it big in Bollywood and is already the reigning queen of Bollywood. And, certainly she has no dearth of movies. Infact, after having had her track cut out of 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', Katrina Kaif has managed to sign a quick succession opposite Ranbir Kapoor with 'Rajneeti'.

The movie is said to be a political thriller, which also stars Ajay Devgan and Manoj Bajpai. Talking about Katrina, Jha says, “I needed an actress who'd look convincing as an intelligent, modern, cultured girl of today. Katrina fit the bill perfectly. She also looks perfectly matched with Ranbir.”

Well, we only hope that the Katrina-Ranbir 'jodi' does create some magic at the Box Office.
