Katrina Kaif to give Cannes film festival a miss

Katrina Kaif, who made her debut at Cannes Film Festival last year, is skipping this year’s edition of the prestigious event due to her film commitments.
While the brand invited me to attend Cannes again this year, I have had to regretfully decline the opportunity due to prior commitments. ”This has been an enormously busy year for me so far, and I am working on some amazing projects which are really keeping me on my toes. Nevertheless, although I will be giving Cannes a miss this year, I wish the lovely L’Oreal Paris ambassadors who will proudly represent India the very best and hope to attend next year,” Kaif said in a statement.

Fifty shades of Sunny Leone

The rest of the country may be schizophrenic about her but Sunny Leone is very clear about who she is — an ambitious entrepreneur looking to diversify. "I work for the brand. When you are in entertainment, you do whatever it takes to extend the brand beyond movies," she says.
After hardcore videos, semi-porn films, item numbers, reality shows and even a perfume, the Leone enterprise is extending into an altogether new area — literature, more specifically erotic romance of the ripped bodice variety. Her app-driven book of seven "passion and play" short stories, Sweet Dreams, launched this Friday by publisher Juggernaut. Every night, one of these will land on your smartphone at 10pm for a, well, rousing bedtime read.

Hrithik - Kangana war: Who's telling the truth?

The escalating war between Hrithik Roshan, 42 years old, and Kangana Ranaut, 29, has split tinsel town down the middle. He's an insider, born to a famous Bollywood father; she's an outsider, from a small village in distant Himachal, who's powered her way into the A-list on the back of her acting talent. It all began with what seemed like a flippant remark by Kangana about a `silly ex', suggesting she and Hrithik had been in a relationship. An incensed Hrithik hit back with a legal notice — and all hell broke loose with the actors and their lawyers hurling allegations and counter-allegations about a torrid affair, hacked emails, an imposter, love in Paris and a behavioural disorder — even as the cyber crime division of the police widened their investigation... But where does the truth lie, really? It's difficult to say; the police have only just begun trying to sift fact from fiction. Right now, every question has more than one answer.

It’s a great time to be a woman : Priyanka Chopra

In the noise of sound bytes, one thing that is constant is the composure of Priyanka Chopra. Her answers make even silly questions sound good. From her desire to run on roller skates in the corridors of the Rashtrapati Bhavan to buying a plane, she makes sure every journalist returns with a quote. She knows the significance of the moment. So no designer outfit, Priyanka turned up in a lime green handloom sari in support of textile industry, the proceeds of which will go to an NGO.
When Padma Shri Priyanka Chopra, finally, sits down to have a chat, one could not help but ask if it is like a mid-life time achievement award? “No, I have been told I am the youngest actress to get a Padma Shri. It is an answer to those misogynistic people who used to say that an actress remains fresh only in her 20s. It is an answer to those who treat women like a commodity and ignore their talent,” she responds with a twinkle in her eyes. “By the way can you put this question to middle-aged men in the industry,” the 33-year-old comes with a light-hearted rejoinder.
