Kareena Kapoor fumes on 'nude' query


New Delhi media was in for a shock as Kareena Kapoor staged a walk out of a press conference in the city where she was present to promote her upcoming film ‘Kambakht Ishq’. Visibly upset and fuming with anger, she marched towards her suite when a female reporter questioned her if she would be willing to go totally nude for camera if the script demanded so. Informs an onlooker who was present at the venue, "The question shocked her. Just a few minutes back, she had patiently handled queries regarding her professional life. She had also commented around wearing a bikini in ‘Tashan’ and now ‘Kambakht Ishq’ mainly because the 'script demanded it'. Though averse to doing so in future projects, she admitted that she would keep the subject and story in mind and would do 'anything' that is required by the script."
Though it was a diplomatic stand on affairs, things went a little too far when an over zealous reporter popped the question - 'Would you mind going nude for a role?' "This was it", adds the source, "Kareena lost her cool at that very moment and rather than choosing to blast the reporter and create a scene, she simply aborted her stay at the press conference. The flabbergasted reporter didn't know what hit her. The event coordinator too felt disgusted about the entire incident and found himself in trouble as this situation was totally unforeseen."
The source continues, "There were problems for Kareena from the very beginning of the event. First and foremost the chosen venue itself wasn't conducive enough to handle a large media that had assembled. Around 100 odd reporters and journalists had gathered in a room that wasn't large enough to host a mega celebrity press conference like this. With the claustrophobic venue not helping the cause enough, queries like these were enough for Kareena to blow her fuse."
For media and the film, director Sabbir Khan came to rescue though. He handled the situation well by staying on at the venue and continued to interact with the reporters. "Yes, Kareena was justified in walking out but Sabbir too did all to ensure that promotion of ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ didn't get impacted", says a fellow reporter, "He realises that the film is just a few days away and didn't want any bad blood to spoil the show. He had a thin rope to walk on and did pretty well in rescuing the event from turning into a complete disaster."

Bridal bliss times three!
When Nicole Richie married Joel Madden on Saturday, the author and fashion designer wasn't content with just one bridal outfit. Instead, Richie, 29, donned three different looks, all by Marchesa, a source confirms exclusively to UsMagazine.com.

"Sadly and unfortunately, Simone and I split up a while ago," the 41-year-old wrote of his wife. "Our close friends and family were informed at that time. It is a private matter so we did not make it public. We remain friends and will continue to be good parents."
Just hours earlier, Hurley wrote a similar message about her own marriage: "Not a great day. For the record, my husband Arun and I separated a few months ago. Our close family & friends were aware of this."

Lindsay Lohan thinks Gwyneth Paltrow is a mean girl.
During Paltrow's guest-starring role on Glee last month, her character (a quirky substitute teacher) made cracks at Lohan's expense, quipping, "Lindsay Lohan is totally crazy, right? How many times has Lindsay Lohan been to rehab?"
PHOTOS: Gwyneth through the years
Turns out Lohan, 24, caught the episode at the Betty Ford Center. "Lindsay is so upset with Gwyneth," her mom Dina tells Radaronline. "She called me and was upset and said, 'Why did [Gwyneth] have to do that?'"

Mood swings at the Box Office……


All the three releases of this Friday, Rakht Charitra – 2, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and Phas Gaye Re Obama have opened has seen a very dull start at box office.
Ashutosh Gowarikar’s KHJJS… starring Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, had many expectations, but despite the film’s patriotic theme, the response on the opening day was just 10 to 20 percent. :(
Well, Ram Gopal Varma’s Rakht Charitra 2 is no better. The film, welcoming south star Suriya to Bollywood is faring pathetic even at single screen theaters where it was expected to do well. :(
And finally, director Subhash Kapoor’s black comedy Phas Gaye Re Obama too has seen a very gloomy start depite getting rave reviews from critics. :(

Is There a Kesley Grammer Sex Tape?

Camille Grammer says she feels "completely abandoned" by ex-husband Kelsey Grammer.
But that wasn't always the case. A source says this Real Housewife of Beverly Hills once felt completely videotaped by the sitcom star. Yes, Star Magazine reports there are "wild sex tapes" of these two in Camille's possession and she's threatening to release them.
CamilleShady Sitcom Star
“Camille fully intends on staying a very rich woman,” an imaginary insider tells the publication. “She wants a ton of money in the settlement."
But wouldn't these tapes also expose and embarrass Camille? Not exactly. She is a former Playboy centerfold, after all, and she's also appeared in a pair of erotic films, such as the moderate 1996 hit The Naked Detective.
With this pair's divorce settlement still being negotiated, Kelsey announced his engagement to Kayte Walsh last week.
“Camille likes to remind Kelsey all the time that she has dirt on him. And she’s so upset over him dumping her for [a] young flight attendant last summer - plus the fact that they’ve already gotten engaged - that she’s been dropping plenty of hints she’s ready and willing to embarrass him if he doesn’t give her a huge alimony payment,” this source added.

Do you think the wearing-a-bikini act in Bollywood is really necessary to attract viewers towards the movies?

Don't Call Me Provocative..!!!

She's been called a lot of names over the years, and understandably, Lindsay Lohan is not a fan of certain words used to describe her in the media.
Hilariously, the real button-pushing term for her is "provocative."
Seriously ... for her that's over the line. Sources say the actress is "beyond upset" that CNN dared use that unspeakable epithet to describe her.

Lindsay: Where's the love? [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
The news network's Showbiz Tonight listed LiLo among the most provocative stars of 2010 (she's also #8 in THG's Celebrity of the Year rankings).
Miley Cyrus, Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen also ranked high on the provocative scale, but Lady Gaga took the top prize. Not bad company really.
So either Lindsay is just pissed she lost to Lady Gaga or she has no idea what that word means. Because she's pretty provocative. See below:

Selena Gomez on Justin Bieber Breakfast Date: Just Pancakes!

When is breakfast at IHOP more than just a chance to catch up over some deliciously greasy fare? When it involves two of the world's most popular pop singers.
Indeed, the Internet has been buzzing over the supposed date Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber went on late last week, as the two were seen all cute and cozy at the aforementioned establishment.
Can we officially dub these two "Jelena?" Not exactly, Gomez says.
Pre-Performance PoseBieber at the Ball
"It was just pancakes! Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed to Us Weekly, adding in an interview with MTV: "Who doesn't like pancakes? We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."
Well... that's no fun.
Selena does admit that she's close to Bieber, but not in the way many have been believing.
"I love Justin. When he first started to come over from Canada his manager contacted me and he just said that he would like to meet me and he was just such a good kid... I feel like a big sister now, 'cause I want to protect him."

THG Presents: Celebrity Mistresses of the Year!

Where would THG be without good cheating scandals? Sure, these women are trashy beyond belief, but boy do they keep things interesting with their sexting, locking themselves in closets, making up sex tape rumors and such.
We despise them. And applaud their efforts. Below are THG's esteemed finalists for the Rachel Uchitel Award as the top celebrity mistress of 2010 ...
Devon James: So SexyJoslyn James Pic
Two of Tiger Woods' more disgusting, entertaining mistresses.
Devon and Joslyn James. Yes, we know Tiger Woods' mistresses are soo 2009. But Devon James and Joslyn James (no blood relation, LOTS of sexual relations) simply refused to crawl back in the hole from whence they came.
Brittney Jones. Ashton Kutcher's alleged mistress is relentless. That much cannot be disputed. Every time her accusations are shot down, she comes up with even more ridiculous ones. Threesomes, sex tapes ... snuff films may be next.
Erin Barry. She may not be an actual mistress, but when you're sexting Tony Parker and that's why he gets divorced from Eva Longoria, you're on the list.
Jasmine Waltz. A star-stalking pro if ever there were one. At least she said that David Arquette was only mediocre in the sack, though. Props there.
Capri Anderson. The porn star/stripper/escort/whatever she is co-starred in Charlie Sheen's now-infamous hotel meltdown, and having witnessed this chapter of his downward spiral, promptly moved to cash in with a lawsuit.
He may countersue for extortion. $h!t happens when you're Charlie Sheen.
Capri PictureBombshell
Capri (left) and Bombshell. Neither needs a second name.
Michelle "Bombshell" McGee. Not only is she the year's trashiest, her scandal was the most shocking, breaking up Jesse James and Sandra Bullock.
Add on her very special way with words, her soft porn tendencies, all the tattoos and having the audacity to blab non-stop about James for months?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Get Out of My Kool Aid!

On The Real Housewives of Atlanta this week, the women seemed more delusional than ever. And that's saying A LOT, we know.
Come along with our THG intern as she review the latest installment of this ridiculous Bravo series...
Delusion seemed to be wafting in the air this week in Atlanta!  Sheree went to see Ladyboy Lawrence after hours in his salon to get her hair done a la Diana Ross.  While getting coiffed she gets a call from The People Store, the premier talent agency in Atlanta, where she recently auditioned.
She's landed an agent.  She's also accepted a small part in a local play called "Child Support Man." Broadway, here she comes!
Making Like Diana Ross
Kim met with Mitchell, a choreographer Kandi set her up with, to rehearse her dance moves for her upcoming tour.  Kim claims to have 16 years of dance experience, but it's not apparent from the geriatric moves she's putting out on the floor. 
She also claims to be a better dancer than a singer.  With Kim's attention span the size of a flea's ass, how she even manages to put one leg in front of the other to walk is an accomplishment in itself.
Getting ready to finally mail out her wedding invitations, Cynthia chats with sister, Maloria, about how stressed life is becoming for her.  Not only because of the impending wedding but because 50-year-old Peter and Nene are just not getting along.
50-year-old Peter walks in and when confronted by Cynthia about his recent blow-up with Nene, claiming not to know what she's talking about.  Can it be that 50-year-old Peter is jealous of Cynthia's relationship with Nene?  Cynthia begs him to get along with Nene.  For the sake of everyone's sanity, listen to her Prickly Pete!
Dwight drops by Phaedra's to check out the baby, but more importantly to dish about Cynthia and Kim. Looking like a white-chocolate dipped Mad Hatter, Dwight informs Phaedra that not only did the due date of Aydan's arrival come into question again, but that her unborn child was referred to as an alien. 
Oh, that Dwight, full of nothing but bon mots and good cheer.  Phaedra wants to know why Cynthia is "all up in her Kool-Aid" and what exactly qualifies Kim to be called a "head nurse.  Stripping at the Cheetah House in costume certainly does not.  Rising above it all and refusing to respond to the criticism, Phaedra's too high class to bother with such nonsense.
Laser Zapping
Kandi stops by Sheree's to help her run lines for "Child Support Man" and they both end up relating to the play.  Kandi wonders how it is that Sheree got no child support from Bob Whitfield, while Sheree asks Kandi about her situation. 
Kandi thinks Sheree's going to do really well in the play, but informs Sheree that she won't be able to attend since she has prior committments.
Kim invites the ladies over to try out her new laser-sculpting "exercise" equipment. Why sweat your fat away when you can just laser it off while scarfing down a pizza and some chicken strips? 
Cynthia lures Nene to the kitchen with the premise of wanting to talk about the recent battle between 50-year-old Peter and Nene.  Nene wants no drama, but agrees to chat.  Cynthia lets Nene know she was just giving her space and meant no harm.  She gives Nene a candle and pulls out a "friend contract" for Nene to sign.  Single Black Female anyone?  Nene signs it, desperate to get away from Cynthia's insanity.
Sheree's stage debut in "Child Support Man" draws a big crowd at The Soul Factory. Hoping Nene and 50-year-old Peter can contain themselves, Sheree has noticed that Nene's a little flirty with 50-year-old Peter.  Maybe that tension between them is about something else? 
Nene and Phaedra are in the crowd, bored out of their minds, waiting for Sheree's appearance.  When she finally hits the stage, it's more like a cameo. Cynthia is not impressed judging by her "It's a long way from the chitlin circuit to Broadway" comment.  Amen.  But Sheree is ready for a standing ovation afterwards.  She's also ready to move into film.
NeNe Smoking
Phaedra confronts Cynthia after the play about the whole alien baby comment thing and Cynthia tells Phaedra to check her sources.  That damn Dwight... always stirring the pot! 
Meanwhile, 50-year-old Prickly Peter apologizes to Nene for his recent blow-up and explains that's he's just a little bothered by the constant phone calls between her and Cynthia.  It's called having a BFF, Prickly Pete.  Look into it.
Nene and Kim have lunch where they discuss Cynthia's "friend contract."  Kim thinks Cynthia's a loon and should focus on her upcoming marriage to Prickly Pete instead of worrying about Nene so much.  Could Cynthia possible be "into" Nene? 
Nene doesn't think so and, even if she was, Nene's strictly dickly.  Kim's shocked when Nene reveals she's okay with Gregg moving out if it comes to that and even more shocked when Nene says she's open to dating a white guy.  Kim mentions dating 25-year-old Kroy Biermann and how he's revived her va-jay-jay. Maybe Nene should give it a shot.
Oh, Kim, that's crazy talk!

WikiLeaks unleashes a flood of damaging US cables

Washington: Whistleblower website WikiLeaks unleashed a flood of US cables detailing shocking diplomatic episodes, from a nuclear standoff with Pakistan to Arab leaders urging a strike on Iran.

The leaked memos describe a Chinese government bid to hack into Google, plans to reunite the Korean peninsula after the North's eventual collapse, and quote Saudi Arabia's king as saying the United States should bomb Iran to halt its nuclear drive, telling it to "cut off the head of the snake”.

The confidential cables, most of which date from 2007 to last February, also reveal how the State Department has ordered diplomats to spy on foreign officials and even to obtain their credit card and frequent flier numbers.

The memos recount closed-door remarks that could stoke scandal, including Yemen's President telling a top US general: "We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours" when discussing secretive US strikes on al Qaeda.

A description of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi showed him requiring the near-constant assistance of a "voluptuous blond" Ukrainian nurse.

The New York Times, Britain's The Guardian, Germany's Der Spiegel, France's Le Monde and Spain's El Pais published the first batch of the documents on Sunday, saying more would follow in the coming days.

WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange described the release as a "diplomatic history of the United States" that would cover "every major issue”.

Despite coming under a cyber attack that took down its main website earlier in the day, WikiLeaks started publishing the 251,287 cables -- 15,652 of which are classified "secret" -- from 274 US embassies around the world on a sub-website http://cablegate.wikileaks.org.



In an introduction, it painted the United States as a hypocritical superpower and attacked "the contradictions between the US's public persona and what it says behind closed doors.

"The cables show the extent of US spying on its allies and the UN; turning a blind eye to corruption and human rights abuse in 'client states'; backroom deals with supposedly neutral countries; lobbying for US corporations; and the measures US diplomats take to advance those who have access to them."

The White House hit back, saying the release was a "reckless and dangerous action" that put lives in danger.

"To be clear -- such disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement.

The Pentagon, which was infuriated by the website's publication of secret Afghanistan and Iraq war logs earlier this year, also condemned the latest, more far-reaching release and unveiled new steps to prevent future leaks.

US officials had raced to contain the fallout by warning more than a dozen governments of the impending leaks, but Washington said it refused to negotiate with WikiLeaks, calling its possession of the cables illegal.

Assange has denied the planned release placed individuals at risk.

"As far as we are aware, and as far as anyone has ever alleged in any credible manner whatsoever, no single individual has ever come to harm as a result of anything that we have ever published," he said on Sunday.

The New York Times explained its decision to publish the cables by saying they "serve an important public interest”.

Millionaire Dewani named in another murder


London:  A Briton of Indian origin, accused of plotting the murder of his newly-married wife in South Africa, is now being linked to another similar carjack killing of an Indian-origin doctor in 2007, a media report said Monday.

Shrien Dewani, 30, a businessman from Bristol, is accused of organising his bride Anni's death.

Anni, a 28-year-old engineering graduate of Ugandan-Indian descent from Sweden, was killed in Cape Town Nov 13 when two men hijacked the car she and Shrien were travelling in. Shrien was let go by the attackers.

Dewani allegedly offered a taxi driver 1,400 pounds to arrange for Anni to be shot dead in a staged carjacking, according to claims outlined by a prosecutor in South Africa.
Now, police in South Africa are trying to build a new case against Dewani based on claims by the taxi driver, jailed for 18 years over the shooting, The Sun reported.

Zola Tongo, 31, told detectives he is convinced the groom arranged a similar previous murder.

The fresh inquiry centres on Pox Raghavjee, a 63-year-old doctor, killed by carjackers near his home in King William's Town in 2007.

Police in Cape Town have made the focus of their new probe a meeting between Raghavjee's widow, Heather, and Dewani and his father Prakash after Anni's death.

Her visit was requested by her daughter-in-law Alvita, a friend of the Dewanis in Bristol.

But police have no evidence Dewani was ever in South Africa before his honeymoon.

Heather Raghavjee said: "I am very upset, particularly for Shrien, at the awful accusations over my husband's murder. There is no substance in them."

Though South Africa wants Dewani extradited to face trial, he was freed on a 250,000 pound bail by the High Court, pending more hearings.

South African police chief commissioner Gen Bheki Cele said: "We don't like it but the UK assures us he has an electronic tag to stop him fleeing.

"We have a powerful case against him. The guy needs to come and try to clear his name."

A spokeswoman confirmed they were looking at Raghavjee's murder. "That investigation is ongoing, even if it means linking Mr Dewani to other cases."
