Lindsay Lohan's Maserati: The Mystery Solved!

Just when you think she's hit rock-bottom, she finds some fresh dirt and keeps on shoveling down...

When Lindsay Lohan was first seen driving around in a $100,000 Maserati, I immediately figured Samantha Ronson was leasing it for her, considering that Ronson is the only one of the two currently making any sort of money (for plugging in her iPod and looking bored. Yeah, must be nice...).

Well, I was wrong.

TMZ says that the car is owned by porn producer Dennis DeSantis. Some of DeSantis' classy works include Origami So Horny. Destined to be a classic!

After Lohan's assistant busted the car by driving into a Subaru, DeSantis just shrugged it off, paid the $10,000 for it to get repaired and allowed our little train wreck to keep driving it.

DeSantis also claims he lent her the car "just because."
There's no strings attached.

PFFFFFFFFTTT! PLEASE! Even in L.A., porn producers are given the side-eye!

I wouldn't be shocked if when I was trolling the adult section of my video store, I saw Lohan's face on the cover of titles like A Prairie Whore Companion and Freaky Friday.

Dina Lohan will be so proud. No, she really will be. I wasn't being sarcastic.

I guess we all find our place in this world, eventually...

Candy Spelling Still Won't Speak to Her Daughter

Those Spelling women sure are prolific wordsmiths. Just a year after Tori Spelling's book telling her side of her feud with mother Candy Spelling entitled sTori Telling, her mother's now come out with a tome of her own. Candy's memoir, Stories From Candyland, has been published and she's hard at work promoting it (well, since she's never had to work a day in her life, and lives in a $150 million mansion with more bathrooms "than I can count" (as she told CBS2 News in NYC), she may as well do SOMETHING productive with her life).

The 63-year-old grandmother confessed to People the full extent of her estrangement from her daughter and grandchildren, "I don't see Tori and Dean anymore. I used to see Liam, but no longer. And I've never met Stella."

These people need to stop wasting their time coming up with punny titles for tell-all books and sit down and hash out their issues. Or at least have the decency to just do reality shows. I don't have time to read all this crap.

Lady Gaga Speaks!

Well, whispers, actually.

What's she whispering about? Will she be relevant in five years?
You be the judge:

Why Nicolas Cage Should Not Be In Batman 3 or any Super Hero Movie


In a recent interview with MTV Nicolas Cage volunteered his acting skills as 'any' super villain in the next Batman 3 movie. He didn't know which one he wanted to portray, he just knew he wanted to be in it. This is exactly why he should not be in it.


Why should any storyteller hire an actor that doesn't understand the material or appreciate a character. Remember when he was almost cast as Superman? Look at how hallow he was in GhostRider! Sure the movie was poorly constructed but Nicolas Cage hasn't been great in a movie since Raising Arizona. Meanwhile the importance of picking a performer for a role is what is paramount in super hero movies. Why? Because in super hero movies you as an audience member are asked (not expected) to suspend disbelief. The believability of the characters especially the antagonist and protagonist are perhaps more important than everything else including special effects and set design.


When an actor asks to be in a super hero movie for the sake of being in it you give up respect for the story. You didn't see people discussing who should play Tyler Durden on web sites prior the filming of Fight Club because traditional books are not scrutinized by the public for who is acceptable or even expected in an a role. Why? Because you can't compare comic book stories transitioning into film the same way as traditional books are.


When any comic book becomes a movie, the run up includes fan boys posting and cross posting wide and detailed discussions on who should play who in the subsequent story. X-men demanded that Patrick Stewart play Xavier. When the film brought him to the role, there was a wave of relief among every potential X-Men viewer that would come to see the film. This goes on for many characters that ended up on the big screen.


Sure it's a little bit silly to think that comic books and super hero stories are so highly scrutinized by their fan base, but it is what it is. Hollywood has done well in the past to realize this reality exists. When it fails to accept this premise, you can almost define the box office sales by the pre-Internet discussions going on before the films are released. As an aside, comic book readers don't like to see big name Hollywood stars in MOST super hero movies. They want to see the actor that most looks like their character in the story. They want to see an actor that has the mannerisms and feel for the character in the story. They want to see an actor that is most like the character, they never want to see an actor playing the character. This is why it is so hard for Hollywood to make a good super hero movie. A rare exception is Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and even he had to not be more like Robert Downey Jr. and more like Tony Stark.


In the case of Nicolas Cage, when an actor doesn't step up and ask for a specif role because they identify or appreciate a character, they really have no business asking in the first place. Nicolas Cage doesn't belong in Batman 3 or an any super hero movie as long as he doesn't have a n appreciate for a character in it. If Nicolas Cage said to MTV, "I would like to play a villain in a super hero movie some time" this would not have been offensive. But to people that read comics this is an insult. Comic book readers watch characters they know and appreciate come to life on the big screen without much respect for those characters often enough that I felt it best I defend them today. After all, I am one of those readers.

Rakhi to fall in love with Rani Mukherji

In Yash Raj’s latest production Hadippa, Rani Mukherji is playing the role of a man, more precisely a Sardarji. And guess who is wooing her? Rakhi Sawant. Rakhi has a comical item song in the film where she’s trying to get Rani to fall in love with her, not knowing she is actually a woman!

Hope Rani is able to re-invent herself with this film and so bounce back into the race.

What Were You Thinking! - Rihanna Tattoos Gun


At last count Rihanna has riddled her body with over ten tattoos, eleven is one estimate. Make that twelve.

Now there is one more. It's a gun on her ribs by tattoo artist, BangBang, whom she flew in from NY to L.A. to print her. Is it a response to being brutally smacked around by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown? If you ask Rihanna it appears not."We've been talking about the idea for a year," referring to BangBang which he gave her last Thursday at her Hollywood mansion. She had a necklace with a gun, and I love it. I was like, "How about the gun?" In fact she was set to have two guns. But in interviews and blog postings by Bang Bang, he paints (or inks) different picture.

"I printed it out, put it on her shoulders," BangBang explains he originally designed his art for both shoulders, "it took a little bit away from her face. She's so beautiful. That's not what we're going for!"

This is terrible timing in terms of her decision making, but then again, look who she dated in the first place, and is it really over or will she protect him as many abused women often do? Let's hope not.

Rihanna shows some signs of intelligence in the matter though, in BangBang's Myspace page he tells fans, "I really wanted to put it here (on her arms)? She loved 'em. But, Cover Girl wouldn't have liked it much? and they pay the bills! Ended up doing it on her ribs."

Originally Rihanna wanted to put two guns on herself, one on each arm but stopped short due to her contract with Cover Girl Cosmetics. Still there was no stopping Rihanna from having her way on the matter. In the end it appears despite what she may say, BangBang spills the truth on why she had the gun tattoo'd on her body, "It's powerful. It's protection. At least that's my interpretation of it." Seems to me, the woman hasn't a clue.

No. Really?

In other Lindsay Lohan news, she seems to have made yet another enemy in Hollywood. I know, shocking, right?

See, earlier this week, Long Island's favorite trainwreck told Nylon Magazine that she is thinking about giving up acting in order to do more modeling, claiming that it’s really “fun” for her, and “doesn’t feel like work” at all.

Well, model Tyson Beckford had a few words on that topic. He thinks that the only thing Lindsay knows how to do like a model is party.

Beckford, who attended a Make Me A Supermodel bash Tuesday in NYC, told Usmagazine.com, “She has the partying part down right. But I don’t think she’s got the focus. I mean, it requires a lot of focus and a lot of people think they can do it, but they really find that it’s a lot harder.”

Added the model, “Ask anyone - it’s a lot harder than it looks. I guess that’s why they call us supermodels - we make it look easy. But it’s not as easy as it looks, so I wish her all the best.”

Well, he’s got a point about Lohan’s lack of focus, and let's not even get started about her lack of looks. Once upon a time, Lohan was a VERY pretty girl, but drugs and hard partying pretty much flushed those down the toilet.

Still, being a model -- while certainly entailing much more than sitting in front of a photographer's lens -- is NOT that difficult. What's difficult about it? You wake up, get pampered, complain about your oh-so-tough life, obtain an entitlement complex, "date" a musician or two, party like the world's going to end, then marry yourself off to a rich sugar daddy when you turn 30, only to cheat on him with Mustafa the 18-year-old buff French poolboy because J. Howard Marshall doesn't lay the pipe properly (and who does, really, at 60-something years old).

You want a truly hard job?
Try being a fireman.
Or a police officer, or being in the military.
Better yet: How about you try obtaining a PhD -- y'know, READING A BOOK with words that are a little bit more profound than "Pat the Bunny," or a BOOK that doesn't have pictures of rail-thin carcasses wearing ridiculous clothing that cost as much as a monthly mortgage payment?

Somehow, strutting down the cat walk in beautiful clothes doesn’t strike me as all that difficult when compared to, say, running into a burning building, or stem cell research for Alzheimer's Disease, or risking your life on a battlefield.

Sorry, Tyson. Nice try, though.

Lindsay Lohan's Major Comeback

If you're one of Lindsay Lohan's "sicko fans" (as she referred to all three of them in a recent E! Online interview), then you will pleased to know that you don't have to go far to see her next masterpiece. You don't even have to get off the sofa, because it will be beamed directly to your TV. This generation's Gone With The Wind, Labor Pains, will make its debut on basic cable! Academy Awards, here she comes!

The movie's production company told UsWeekly that it will show on ABC Family in July (there is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to begin).

A month later, it will be thrown into a 50% off discount bin at the 99 Cent Store.

Padma Lakshmi for Hardee's



Now, I'm vegan, so y'all have to help me out: Isn't this how you're supposed to eat a cheeseburger? You sit on a stoop, hike up your dress, spread your legs and devour that thing like you haven't seen food since Clinton was President. Just like Clinton, that cheeseburger won't tell you it loves you, and won't even think of calling you the next day. And, just like Clinton, the cheeseburger left behind a little memento on her dress.

(And you all think I can't make fun of liberals! Personally, I think Clinton was the best President of the modern era, but a spade's a spade: he was far from a faithful husband...)

But on a serious note, women like Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi OBVIOUSLY don't eat things like cheeseburgers. (Those things add up...in the wallet, the waistline, AND the major arteries...) Hardee's is not catering to their demographic. This should be an obese construction worker sitting on the sidewalk with sauce dripping all over his left moob which is poking out of his overalls. Way sexier.

P.O.S. Covers Pearl Jam's classic "Why Go"

P.O.S was one of the breakthrough artists at SXSW 2009! Praised by the New York Times, Spin, MySpace, Boston Globe, Metromix and many more for his powerful live show and genre-defying new album, NEVER BETTER.

P.O.S was among a select number of artists picked to cover Pearl Jam classics for MTV, in celebration of the re-release of their debut album Ten. P.O.S's version of "Why Go" is below. The video has started spreading virally, it's currently featured on Digg.com's homepage in the "Top In All Topics" section.

Said P.O.S., "I was asked if I was interested in covering a Pearl Jam song by MTV2. I thought it was funny that they wanted to include me, being a rapper and all, but I wanted to take a shot at it. I loved Ten when it came out, rocked the tape till it popped. One of my favorites on it was Why Go, none of the bands they asked had picked it yet so I did. I though about reworking the original lyrics into a rap kind of situation, but then I was playing the melody on one of my keyboards and thought it might be more fun to just straight cover it. So I did. It was fun. I hope you likes it."

pcm's 'POP-IN' With: Jerad Finck

Independent Washington-based pop-rocker Jerad Finck recently chatted with our writer Kristyn Clarke about his music career, a new album and much more! Check out his music at his MySpace page to learn more about this new artist we're promoting!

Now, read on and get a feel for what Jerad Finck is all about:

Q: We see that you're ready to head back into the studio and start recording a follow-up to your debut album, what should fans be expecting this time around?

A: "I've done a lot more writing. I'm trying to get better as an artist."

Q: You just finished up a 40 city tour, what was that experience like?

A: "The most grueling experience of my life. A lot of fun! I saw about 38-39 states, saw a lot of the country. It was crazy and a great time. We'd play a show then drive 7 or 8 hours and do it all again. We broke down at the Hoover Dam one night and was stuck there for hours one night! We'll do the next tour in late spring/early summer."

Q: What is the writing process like for you? What inspires you?


A: "It can be any kind of moment. I try to capture just little snapshots of life. Reading a book, watch someone kissing their girlfriend, you know?"

Q: Where do you see the future of music heading and where do you see yourself in that picture?

A: "The pool of musicians has gotten so huge with things like MySpace, anyone can be a musician. People just aren't really buying CD's anymore either, it seems like the death of the album. I hope not. I hope that people keep writing great records. I just try to create something that will be around for a long time. "

Q: How would you describe your music to a first-time listenener?

A: "I definitely am more pop-rock, I think. I like energy in my music. I like bands like The Beatles, Sister Hazel and Green Day that are more upbeat."

Dog Saves Little Person

Okay, Hollywood can now stop remaking every classic known to man, because here's an epic original story that's begging to be turned into a silver-screen trilogy. It has everything you need: a lost midget, a chihuahua, a forest, helicopters, friendship and true love! And it happened in real life! Mary-Kate Olsen, call your agent!

It all started when the 45-year-old tiny lady who goes by the name of Beverley Burkitt decided to go for a morning walk with her chihuahua, Pebbles, near the camp site they were staying at in North Wales. Beverley went deep into the forest before realizing she dropped her cell phone somewhere. She also realized she was lost! Instead of getting lost even more, Beverley sat down with Pebbles and waited for help to come. They weren't found until the next morning after a ground team and helicopters were sent out.

3'8" Beverley thanks 7" Pebbles for keeping her safe and warm through the night. She told The Sun, “Pebbles lay across my legs overnight and kept me warm. I was wearing a coat but it wasn’t as warm as Pebbles. I wasn’t too worried as I knew I’d be found sooner or later."

Don't ask me how Beverley got lost in a forest. I was under the impression that little people knew their way around every forest. Like it was a gene they were born with. But thankfully, Pebbles was there. This is why you should bring a chihuahua with you wherever you go. They SAVE lives! Although, something tells me after a few hours Pebbles was starting to look at Beverley like she was a delicious chicken wing.

Ryan Reynolds is Dead on as DeadPool in New Wolverine Movie


He's wanted the role for what seems over 10 years.... Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And the comic book character Deadpool has wanted to be Ryan Reynolds.



Sometimes the big news in movies like this isn't that Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine again. Instead it's the introduction of other X-Men characters we all have been waiting to see.

Unlike the small cameo appearances of ultra cool characters like Colossus in the last two X-Men movies, these new characters are showcased. Characters such as Gambit and Deadpool will be pivotal character in Wolverine. In fact reshoots took place as the Deadpool character became more important to the studio execs. As he should be. Any graphic novel enthusiast worth his/her salt knows that Deadpool was part of the Weapon X program along with Wolverine.


What is great is that Ryan Reynolds is taking this graphic novel character just as serious as Robert Downey Jr. has taken Tony Stark in Ironman. Ryan sees Deadpool for what he is underneath the mask; Wade Wilson. “ I don’t even look at it like I play Deadpool in this movie. I really think I more or less play Wade Wilson, and I’m playing the creature that will eventually become Deadpool but in this movie it’s his newly formed version….so to speak.”

You want to believe that the studio recognizes that while this is Wolverine's origin, that you can't make a character like Deadpool an aside in the same way they did with Venom in Spider-Man. Deadpool is a complex character. He is the only character in all of comics that knows he is a comic book character and even Ryan Reynolds has discussed this aspect of his character in interviews. Deadpool at this point in the story is not disfigured, his character as many know his is not the same as what most readers know him as. Wade Wilson before his disfigurement won't wear the mask. Will this be the Deadpool origin as well? We will see.

Anne Hathaway Is Judy Garland

Young actress Anne Hathaway wowed the Academy Awards crowd when she showed off her song-and-dance talent alongside host Hugh Jackman. Someone was obviously paying attention to her skills and a lightbulb went off. Smart man/woman!

Movie news! Anne Hathaway has signed on to play 'The Wizard of Oz' starlet Judy Garland in both screen and stage adaptations of the biography 'Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.' Seems pretty accurate to us. Anyone disagree?

Zac 'I Don't Sing & Dance Anymore' Efron


Looks like Zac Efron doesn't want to just be known as a song and dance man anymore. We think it's a little too late for that. The 21-year-old actor recently dropped out of Footloose, the upcoming remake of the 1984 musical.

“Footloose is a project we’ve longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [director] Kenny Ortega, [producers] Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise,” a Paramount Pictures rep told Us Weekly Monday. “Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that we’ve come to expect from them.”

We're sure the movie may still be successful - everyone loves a good musical. But we don't know what to think about Zac sudden change of heart. He better not pull a 'Bachelor' on us and decide he wants back in again!

Look Out For That Deer, Matt Lauer


Today Show host Matt Lauer suffered a separated shoulder over the weekend in Long Island when the anchor went flying off his bike in an effort to avoid a deer. Talk about a crazy story to tell your grandkids!

The 51-year-old "Today" show host flew over the handlebars. NBC says Lauer was wearing a helmet. He expects to return to work later this week. We think that's the best excuse we've ever heard to skip a day of work!

Punked By One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray?

Hmm, we're sure we'll get to the bottom of this one soon! What's the deal? Thank gosh for YouTube! Carolina fans caught One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray telling then some shocking tidbits about his future on the CW's hit drama. It is set to come back for a new season however, CMM says they don't want him back on the show!



Check out the footage. Does it look like he's joking or serious? The CW show centers about Murray so we're thinking it may be a prank. Here's some excerpts from what he says in the video, "They don't want me...I'm not joking." "See, this is what all the fans should do online, is start blogging and being pissed off that they don't want that. That's what they should do." "They're not bringing me back next year...because they want to save money." Tell us your thoughts, would you continue watching the show is CMM leaves? Does anyone still watch the show religiously?

What Men Really Think: Spanish Man Pregnant!


It's a great headline, Spanish 'man' Pregnant. Give me a break. Men cannot bear a child. A woman can bear a child. But a woman that changes her anatomy and had hormone injects can legally call herself a man is still a woman. Now don't think I hate transsexuals. This is not about hate, it's about being honest.

In the news this week a 25 year old Spanish woman ...I mean 'man' claims to be pregnant with twins. Shouldn't the headlines read a man whom claims to be woman is with twins? Ruben Noe Coronado Jimenez (Estefania) is now going back to treatments to restart his ...er her ... er.. his? menstrual cycle. But to impress us all, he/she he has grown a beard. It's all in the marketing folks. Looks like duck, quacks like a duck, must be a duck?

Coronado retained female status to undergo fertility treatments. Oh ... so he is a she? So why not stay a she? Nah... she wants to carry the baby as a man. And why? What will that prove? One word folks... narcissist. How can I say that? Well, consider this quote from Jimenez, "It's like being born with three hands. You take advantage of them while you have them and you get rid of one of them when they get in the way."

Where is the sanity in the media these days? Am I the only person willing to report the truth? This is NOT a pregnant man. The last Asian woman that had a sex change (in part) operation is still not a man. Women are women and men are men.

What would constitute a real sex change? You know... when they can get the uterus, and everything reconstructed.... When a man can generate his own egg... When a couple can copulate and and the woman that is now a man can do the entire thing naturally ...come talk to me about a man being pregnant. This woman calling herself a man is a just another transsexual that started as a woman carrying a baby.

Want a guy to really be impressed? Have a man born a man carry a baby in his abdomen for the nine months necessary, cut him open and produce a baby... That's news. That's a pregnant man.

These ridiculous trans gender stories of pregnancy belong in the supermarket counter trash news. Hey live and let live, have the baby but don't call yourself a man when you are a woman. It can't be any more simple.

So which one of these lovely people in the photo above is Ruben Jimenez? The one on the left. Transsexuals can go bald? Maybe he really is a man.

Try To Look Surprised...

Is Linsday Lohan following in Britney Spears' footsteps?

No, not as an actress-turned-Paparazzi-magnet, but as a cash-strapped spendthrift. The New York Daily News reports that Lohan has been over-spending and now relies mostly on credit cards and girlfriend Samantha Ronson's funds. A "friend" says, "Sam really thinks Lindsay needs to learn how to become a recessionista and manage her money better.”

Evidence that Lohan has been spending above her means includes a new Rolex watch ($30,000) and Maserati (over $100,000). Plus, Lohan hasn't been in a film for the past two years, which has limited her income. She is reportedly looking for work now.

Perhaps she can follow in Spears' example and regain control of her finances. After divorce papers filed in late 2007 revealed that Spears saved none of her $737,000 monthly income, her father helped her reign in her spending and boost her income through a new album and much-marketed comeback.

Lohan's troubles underscore just how hard it can be for celebrities to live up to the luxe life they come to expect. According to financial planners, the rich and famous often fail to plan for the fact that their income is unstable, often peaking early in life, as well as stand up to the many hangers-on that ask for support.

My Little Nightmare

No, this isn't Sarah Jessica Parker as The Joker in the next Batman movie, it's the mini creature that will crash my dreams tonight and turn them into a nightmare.

Artist Mari Kasurinen took My Little Pony and transformed it into classic movie characters. Aside from The Joker, Mari took characters from Kill Bill, Edward Scissorhands, and of course, Star Wars (BLASPHEMY!).

It's pretty amazing that Mari made a creepy thing even creepier. There's no way I could shut my eyes with one of those things in my house. Even if I threw it in the trash and put a brick over the garbage can, it would find a way out. Those twinkly eyes say "I will eat your face tonight" and that slimy grin adds "And I'll like it."

No kidding, Katrina Kaif is looking to win a national award

After a slew of out and out comedies like "Namastey London", "Partner" and "Singh Is Kinng", Katrina Kaif is now working on two "difficult" films - Prakash Jha's political drama "Rajneeti" and Rajkumar Santoshi's romantic comedy "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani"- and the actress wants to devote extra time and thought to the projects.

"This year I would like to allocate time to big films. The kind of films I am doing - 'Rajneeti' and 'Ajab Prem...' are a little more difficult. They need time and also a little more thought process, " Katrina told. The films are slated for release this year.

In "Ajab Prem..." Katrina shares screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Upen Patel, while in "Rajneeti" she stars alongside a bevy of actors including Ranbir, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai.

Katrina says that Santoshi's dedication and "knack for making his actors win national awards" is something that makes her want to work hard for his film.

"'Ajab Prem...' is a very different film. Raj-ji is a taskmaster on the sets and the results of that are visible. I need to dedicate enough time and attention to this film because I think the movie is going to be very special and very important for me. It's nothing like I have done before, " said the 24-year-old actress.

Katrina shares similar sentiments for Jha, who has helmed films like "Gangaajal" and "Apaharan" in the past.

"Prakash Jha is highly intelligent and highly interested in his project. A film like 'Rajneeti' is not something where I can just jump and say - 'Sir, my hair is done, my costume is done and I'm ready', something I can do in most films that are comic capers.

"For films like his, one has to research clothes. I can't decide on my own what I want to wear or what I would prefer. I have to follow the character I am playing. 'Rajneeti' is a very grounded, a very rooted film, and so I am going to be dedicating a little more time as the project requires it, " she said.

In "Rajneeti" Katrina sports a simple and de-glamourized look in a crisp cotton sari and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Though the look bears a resemblance to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, the director has denied that her role has anything to do with the senior leader.

Though Katrina has mostly starred in comedies like "Namastey London" and "Singh Is Kinng" (Vipul Shah), "Partner" (David Dhawan) and "Welcome" (Anees Bazmee) in her over five-year-old career, she says she "might not be doing another comedy, fun, masti film very dedicatedly any time soon".

Apart from "Rajneeti" and "Ajab Prem...", Katrina has Yash Raj Film's "New York", Anthony D'Souza's "Blue" and also a two-film deal with production house UTV in her kitty.

Katrina splurges money on spot boys

Katrina Kaif is enjoying a good phase in her career and can afford to spend as much as she can. On herself of course.

But the actress just decided to spurge on the unit members of Rajkumar Santoshi's ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani’.

The buzz is that while shooting at Film City, Kat distributed as much as Rs 5 lakh among the unit members which included the technicians and spot boys.

A source reveals, "After wrapping up the schedule, Katrina went into her vanity van and came out with bundles of notes and started distributing them among the unit members. She was in a happy mood and wanted to share her happiness with everyone."

Katrina has reportedly acted on her instincts and while handing the money also thanked everyone personally.

It’s being said that she was showing appreciation for the long hours, sometimes 16 hours at a stretch that the unit had put in and her way of saying thanks to as many as 300 people was calling them by their names and handing out the cash to each one personally.

The director Santoshi was also reportedly caught by surprise as people don’t usually do what he did

Reportedly Kat doesn’t wish to publicize this whole thing much.

A source said, "Katrina is not comfortable talking about it but yes, she did give away Rs 5 lakh to the entire unit. While handing out the cash, she personally commended everyone on his job.

Also though stars and technicians often get credit for their work most unit people neither get appreciation nor credit. Katrina just felt it was the right thing to do and she did it."

Well, that’s what her handlers say, but in a way by not talking about it, she’s publicizing it already. Much like every other Bollywood star who wishes to show off his/ her charitable side.

8x10 Tasveer - Music Review

Music Director: Salim-Sulaiman and Bohemia; Lyrics: Irfan Siddique, Sameer and Bohemia
Singers: Vishal Dadlani, Mohit Chouhan, Tulsi Kumar, Neeraj Shridhar and Bohemia
Rating: ***

Riding high on the success of "Fashion" and "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", the musical duo of brothers Salim and Sulaiman Merchant are ready with the soundtrack of Akshay Kumar-starrer "8x10 Tasveer" and they seem to have brought together quite a different genre.

They have also presented a mix of both fast-paced peppy numbers and free-flowing, soft melodies.

The first song "Aaja maahi", crooned by Neeraj Shridhar and Tulsi Kumar, starts with a western feel and English lyrics. Even though the words lack punch, the song is melodious and worth listening.

The remix version of this song adds nothing but beats to the original.

Up next is "Haafiz khuda", which has all the qualities to win listeners' hearts with its soulful, melodious music and free -flowing vocals by Mohit Chauhan. In this number, Mohit is joined by Tulsi Kumar behind the mike. The rendition is bound to make listeners sit up and take notice.

"Haafiz khuda" too has a remixed version, but the original is more appealing.

An Akshay Kumar film and a rap number seem to go hand in hand these days. After teaming up with Bohemia in "Chandni Chowk To China", the actor has shared vocals once again with the US-based hip-hop and rap star in "8X10 Tasveer". The song " I got the picture" is a peppy number with the same feel of the rap song in "Chandni Chowk...".

The remix of the same track, which is high on beats, is sure to be a hit on the DJ consoles.

"Kuchh is tarah", which is once again in Mohit Chauhan's and Tulsi Kumar's voice, is a hummable number that pulls one's heart strings. Soothing to the ears, this romantic track brings out the best in Chauhan.

The remix version too doesn't disappoint with appropriate musical arrangements.

Easily the best song of the album, "Nazaara hai" sets the adrenalin pumping with its strong musical backing and powerful vocals by Vishal Dadlani of the composer duo Vishal and Shekhar.

The number is soaked in the flavour of rock music. The predominance of the electric guitar, especially in the middle of the song, makes it a sure shot hit with music buffs.

The remix of "Nazaara hai" is average, nowhere close to the original.

On the whole, Salim-Sulaiman have kept up their good work in "8x10 Tasveer" and are definitely emerging as one of the best in the business.

‘Kambakht Ishq’ in trouble for use of foul language

‘Kambakht Ishq’ in trouble for use of foul language

Promos of Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kambakht Ishq’ starring Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Carmen Electra, Sylvester Stallone and some other Hollywood stars have landed in trouble for the use of foul language where both the lead stars call each other canine names. Its shows Kareena calling Akki a dog and in turn he calls her a bitch. Apart from this scene, there is also a line indicating that women are only meant for making love.

The people in the Censor Board were obviously not very happy with this and as a result they have given it an A Certificate. Consequently, the film’s promo cannot be shown on TV. Sajid Nadiadwala, who is currently abroad, is gearing up to confront the board when he return to India.

Says, Vinayak Azad, Regional Officer, Censor Board, “Yes, we have given the promos an A Certificate because I found it very inappropriate.”

“Kareena calls Akshay a dog and in turn he calls her a bitch. Apart from this scene, there is also a line indicating that women are only meant for making love. I found that very inappropriate, because in a promo you can’t understand the context of the scene as we have not yet seen the film,” he added.
