Ileana D’Cruz, who stepped into Bollywood with superhit film Barfi, is on cloud nine! It is known to everyone that Barfi has been sent as Oscar entry from India and Ileana is just proud to be part of the team and says it was an honour and privilege and a matter of pride to get an official entry to the Oscars.

"Barfi has received an overwhelming response from the audience and the critics. The news of being selected as India's entry to the Oscars is an honour and a privilege and a matter of pride for the Barfi team," Ileana's spokesperson told the sources.

The Film Federation of India (FFI) shortlisted some critically acclaimed films, including Paan Singh Tomar and Kahaani, but Barfi was selected to represent India in the Best Foreign Language Film category. So far in the history of Indian cinema, only three Bollywood films, including Mehboob Khan's Mother India (1957), Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay (1988) and Ashutosh Gowariker's Lagaan (2001), have made it to the nomination stage.

Directed by Anurag Basu, Barfi features Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz among others! Way to go, Barfi team!

Katrina Kaif insists she is very much single! Denies any link up with Ranbir

To be or not to be, forever or one night stand, hush- hush affair or just friends; these were what playing in all minds when eagle eyed shutterbugs caught Katrina Kaif red handed entering Ranbir Kapoor’s home around 1 am at night and which was obvious to hit headlines.

But so much single Kats has to say something about it. Katrina Kaif, who always has named it just friends with vintage juvenile philanderer of B-town Ranbir Kapoor, says that in spite of visiting Ranbir’s pad such a late night, she is still very much single.

Katrina has always been the talk of the table, earlier it was due to her alleged link up with Salman Khan and afterwards due to their relationship which went kaput in the air. And now it seems like unstoppable with Kat’s associations with such affair rumors and the recent one popping up with heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor.

However, Kat is not ready to accept any of the facts stated and insists that she is very much single and is not dating anyone.

We know everything happens for the best but definitely has a reason behind it. All friendships of b-town have turned out to be deeply clad love mash-up and mishaps. So is this the new ‘very much single’ of B-town?

Item songs have become lifeline of Bollywood flicks these days. Latkas and jhatkas of the item girls play a vital role in fetching audience towards the theatre. Moving on with the wave, the makers of Joker have included an electrifying item song in order to lure the audience.

The item song Kaffirana has been picturized on Bollywood actress Chitrangada Singh. The interesting part is that the lady will woo the audience by performing live on her item song. Like before release of her flick, Vidya Balan enthralled the audience by performing live on The Dirty Picture (2011) song Ooh La Laa and Ranbir Kapoor took the stage with A.R.Rahman to perform live on the songs of Rockstar (2011), Chitrangada is all set to show her Jalwa live.

As per sources, filmmaker Shirish Kunder is very excited on the item number, he confirmed the news and told the sources, “The song has turned out really well and we are very excited about it. As part of the promotions for the song, which is Chitrangada’s first item number it will be great to have her perform to it in front of live audiences. People have not really seen her dance, so it will have a great novelty factor.”

Sources further added that the actress is preparing hard for her live performance as she will be performing in Delhi and Mumbai post 25 July.

The audience can’t wait enough to see Chitrangada!

If you all are fond of watching Natasha Kapoor aka Sumona Chakravarti from Bade Acche Lagte Hain then you will soon get to catch the lady on the big screen too.

Buzz has it that the actress has grabbed a cameo in Anurag Basu’s Barfi starring Ranbir Kapoor, Ileana D’Cruz and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. Talking of it, Sumona said, "I know a lot is being written about how television actors waste themselves by doing tit-bit roles in movies (laughs). But I would like to say that my role is a cameo and I have known Anurag dada since a long time. So when he offered me the role I couldn't say no and did the film simply for Anurag dada. I knew the length of my role will be very small but I wanted to work with Anurag Basu.”

On her experience of working in her Bollywood debut, she responded, "It was my first film and I needed a guidance and trust me dada was always there for me. I believe I am a director's actor and I did whatever he told me to do in the film. Barfi is not a typical Hindi film. The film has more of reactions and reactions can't be scripted. I enjoyed each and every moment of working in the film".

While you enjoyed moments of film, we are also looking forward to enjoy your role in the film Sumona.

Single or Mingled? Speculations have been humming since Parineeti Chopra knocked the door of B-town. Little sister of hot Priyanka Chopra, cute Parineeti Chopra was seen at HCL’s consumer company products in Delhi as goodwill ambassador and ended up revealing about her relationship status.

She declared herself single and said that she is not dating Uday Chopra or Jackky Bhagnani. She was spotted dressed in Pull and Bear denim leggings, a white t -shirt and a green vest and was looking charming and enticing. Parineeti expressed her happiness on being into B-town as an actress as she can now afford cool gadget stuff.

She rejected all the rumors in single breath saying, "I am single. Look for a good guy for me but not a Ricky Bahl type please."

Comfortably confident is Parineeti in her skin and doesn’t get guilty after various announcement of fat is not cool by Kareena Kapoor. She is comfortably cool and speaks, “A am healthy. If a role demands it I will lose weight but I don’t stress."

Parineeti took a turn towards career talks and expressed her desire of working with few bigwigs of tinsel town and the list included Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and her absolute favorite, chhote nawab Saif.

Generally sisters in B-town are considered threat to each other but Parineeti seems to dote on her sis Piggy Chops and says that she never was and never is a disadvantage and is always right.

Well hats off to the sisterhood of soul sisters.

Neha Dhupia went an extra mile to make a mark at IIFA

Neha Dhupia went an extra mile to make a mark at IIFA
This year’s IIFA held in the Lion City of Singapore witnessed quite a few starry things, be it Ranbir Kapoor making his international stage debut and shaking a leg with dad Rishi Kapoor or a veteran like Rekha getting felicitated for her contribution to Indian Cinema, everything about IIFA was just special.

Films like The Dirty Picture, Rockstar and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara went on ruling the roost while stars like Vidya Balan, Ranbir Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar and many more left all captivated and mesmerized. Amidst the entire affair, one thing which caught the frenzy of all was the stunning act of Neha Dhupia.      

As heard, she turned out to be rock chick with her super chick performance at 13th IIFA awards. In order to create a niche and make a mark on the hearts of the audience, Neha went an extra mile to think out of the box and performed accordingly. The actress grabbed eyeballs by dancing to the beats of Dhunki, Bachchu and Aazma etc.

Neha spoke on the same saying, "I am trying to break away from the usual and the ordinary performances, something that is expected out of all of us and I am trying to push the button and do.”

We wish Neha to perform the same way in her upcoming flicks to spellbound everyone

Karan Tacker all set to host red carpet of IIFA

Karan Tacker all set to host red carpet of IIFA
No one is unbeknownst to the fact that Karan Tacker is considered as the Ranbir Kapoor of small screen and anyone can fall for his charm and good looks. After starting his acting career successfully with Love Ne Bana Di Jodi, Karan has come a long way.

His next show Rang Badalti Odhani was a huge success and so his latest one, Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, which has set the TRPs soaring.

After setting the stage on fire with his dance performances at various award functions and the popular Pantaloon Femina Miss India, the actor is all set to add yet another feather to his cap. Tacker will host the red carpet of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) this year.

Sources close to the actor informs that he will fly to Singapore in the first week of June depending on his schedule for the prestigious awards, which will take place on June 9, 2012. It is a big offer for Karan and he is in no mood of missing it, however when sources tried to quiz him about the same, he refused to comment.

We wish him success with the stint!

Ranbir and Shahid reluctant on pairing with Sonakshi Sinha

Ranbir and Shahid reluctant on pairing with Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha started her career successfully with Dabangg 2, where she was paired opposite Salman Khan who is almost double her age. Moreover, she had once even claimed that she felt comfortable working with older men.

But little did she know that her statement would turn against her and her still to bloom career. The actress in her next film will be seen romancing Akshay Kumar, who also happens to be in his 40s. Now, after working with senior actors, Sonakshi seemed to have rubbed the younger lot in a wrong way.

News has it, that both Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor have apprehensions working with Sonakshi as they fear she would look older than them on screen. Few days back there were even rumours that all is not well between Sona and Sasha and it even prompted the former out of Vettai’s remake that features the latter.

So it’s clear that Sonakshi was aware of Shahid thinks of her, but she seems to be unaware of Ranbir’s opinion on her. It is said that once Sonakshi heard about Shahid joking that she would look older than him if they were to do a film together. That’s why she’s said to have declined the remake of Vettai.

And it is said probably that is why Ranbir declined a film, whose producer wanted to cast Sonakshi. We guess Sonakshi needs to do something before it’s too late!

What fishy is going on between Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif

What fishy is going on between Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif
Talk about the Casanova of tinsel town and without any competitors Ranbir Kapoor will top the list. He possesses the charm to bowl any woman and he can easily cast a spell on any gorgeous girl of B-town.

But the latest to have been smitten by his charm are two divas of Bollywood – Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone. The two beauties definitely would ring a bell to you as they had dated RK in the past, and they both had rather unpleasant fallout. But given Ranbir’s magic, the two seems to be back on his radar, and the lad seems to be managing them quite smartly.

Reports making way from the sources say that while Dips and RK continue to bond as good friends on the outdoor schedules of Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD), a source confirms that Kat is the first person RK calls when he returns to Mumbai.

A source said, “Deepika genuinely likes Ranbir. The 20-odd days that she spent with Ranbir in Manali are perhaps one of her best outdoor schedules. But it does seem like there can be nothing more than a friendship between the two, because the moment Ranbir lands in Mumbai, he is with Kat and apparently spent quality time at a location in Pali Hill, the same evening he returned from Manali.”

We don’t know much about the girls, but our boy really seems to be having a ball with two hot divas of the town!

Ranbir Kapoor bought himself a new Audi A8, his most expensive car till date

Ranbir Kapoor bought himself a new Audi A8, his most expensive car till date
We have often talked about tinsel town stars’ penchant for luxury cars and Ranbir Kapoor is the latest celebrity to add a cool set of hot wheels to the garage. The actor just bought himself a new Audi A8, which is also his most expensive car till date.

Buzz says that the vehicle was ordered by Ranbir almost eight months ago and it finally arrived at his house a couple of days back. This is his second car belonging to the same brand. The earlier one is a sports version.

Sources inform that Ranbir, who has just returned from Manali after shooting for Ayan Mukerji's next film, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, was thrilled to finally set his eyes on the new car, which is white in colour. Ranbir headed straight to the temple to seek blessings for his new set of wheels and his mother was the lucky lady who accompanied him on the car's maiden ride.

"Ranbir is very religious. As a ritual he always takes his cars to the temple to seek blessings and this time was no different. He drove to a nearby temple along with the special lady in his life, his mommy Neetu. Rishi Kapoor is currently shooting abroad," says the source.

We wish Ranbir heartiest congratulations for his new purchase!

I never wanted to get into modelling or acting, avers Ileana D'Cruz

I never wanted to get into modelling or acting, avers Ileana D'Cruz!
South actress Ileana D’Cruz, who is all set to make an entry in Bollywood with Anurag Basu’s forthcoming film Barfi, claims that she never intended to get into acting or modelling.

It is no more a news that the former model will next be seen in Barfi opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. The beautiful actress reveals that life has took her in this field, otherwise she never planned to come in this industry at all.

Recently, while talking to the sources, she said, "My first break was for an advertisement that gave me a lot of exposure. And films followed. I actually never wanted to get into modelling either. I was a complete tomboy. You'd never see me wearing skirts. I happened to meet Marc Robinson in Goa. He felt I could be a good model. So, I gave it a shot."

There were also rumours of catfight between her and Priyanka on the film’s set, so on being asked if there is any truth in this, she retorted back, "I won't say we are good friends but we haven't fought for sure. We get along well. PC is an amazing person."

Meanwhile, Barfi director Anurag Basu also denied that the two actresses were unfriendly on set. Well, everyone would surely love to watch this beautiful actress on silver screen, and that time is not too far!
