Did Aishwarya oust Sonam from walking the red carpet at Cannes?

According to the official announcement form L’Oreal on May 11th, Sonam Kapoor was supposed to walk the red carpet for the company at Cannes. Their announcement read:

“Raising the toast to celebrate the association, Sonam Kapoor was welcomed as the youngest member to join the L’Oreal Paris dream team that includes awe-inspiring beauties such as Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan), Penelope Cruz, Naomi Lenoir, Andie MacDowell, Beyonce Knowles, Laetitia Casta, Kerry Washington, Milla Jovovich, Michelle Yeoh, Eva Longoria and Scarlett Johansson. 2009 will be a highlight year for the L’Oreal Paris brand in India as both its spokespersons – the iconic Aishwarya Rai and Sonam will represent Indian beauty and talent oversees at the Cannes Film Festival alongside other members of the dream team.”

However on May 12th they released another statement that read, “We do not want to take part in or encourage any controversy involving our spokespeople. There were adverse reports in certain sections of media after some comments by Sonam Kapoor, which were presented out of context.

Following this, in order to avoid further escalation, we have advised Sonam not to go to Cannes as was planned earlier, bearing in mind that there would be more interesting opportunities for future appearances in Europe for her.”

Sonam had expressed her joy about the fact saying that It was a dream come true for her to walk the red carpet amongst bevy of beauties like Aishwarya Rai, Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz for L’Oreal at Cannes Film Festival 2009. But now, Sonam has not been invited by the brand but is there with her father Anil Kapoor as a visitor.

With all her dreams shattered, there has been an array of speculations as to why Sonam was ousted from walking the red carpet at the last moment. Some say that Ash is the reason behind this. Ash always felt that she and only she was the international face of the brand and when she came to know about Sonam’s walking the red carpet at Cannes, she put her foot down due to which the company had to do away with Sonam at the event. At the Cannes festival press conference, Aishwarya reportedly called Sonam’s statements on the party day as juvenile and irresponsible.

However Ash’s spokesperson denies Ash’s involvement in the whole issue, saying, “She (Aishwarya) did not even know that Sonam was going to be at Cannes because she was there for just two days (May 13-14) where her days were packed with back-to-back interactions with the international media, fashion shoots for various European fashion magazines and other business meetings besides attending all the events at the festival.”

What could be the real reason? Any guesses folks?

Akshay and Kareena lock lips for ‘Kambakkht Ishq’

The upcoming flick ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ is probably the most awaited movie of the year, partly because it has an array of international stars and partly because it promises tons of glamour with Kareena Kapoor set to appear in a bathsuit. Now, you have yet another reason to await the movie. The beautiful actress will reportedly be seen in a steamy liplock with co-actor Akshay Kumar in the movie.

Sources say that Kareena was not quite comfortable with the idea as Akki has already been her elder sister Karisma’s leading man in many of her movies and at that time Kareena was only a 12-year-old little kid who would shy away from Akki whenever she accompanied Karisma to her shootings.

Also, Akshay was equally uncomfortable to do the scene as Bebo is just a kid in front of him. However, professional as they are, they did go for it.

Meanwhile, Kareena is Your browser may not support display of this image.all set to perform at IIFA awards where she intends to mesmerize the audience with her belly dance performance to be choreographed by ace choreographer Shiamak Davar.

Blood, gore, awesome sound effects form the crux of Hisss. Sherawat plays a woman who becomes a snake and then goes on a killing spree. The gruesome killing scenes definitely make you cringe and so does the getup of Mallika clad in a snake costume. It is not at all like what we’ve seen in our Sridevi popularised Nagin films before. It is the Anaconda-esque version of Nagin.

The only problem is the film is directed by Jennifer Lynch of Boxing Helena (1993) fame. Her film had won her a Raspberry award for the worst director in 1994.

After disappointing her fans in a blink and miss role in The Myth, we’ve heard Mallika apparently has no dialogues in Hisss too! Ahem... we hope the film is as good as its promo though.

World music in Shah Rukh's next

After the success of Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om, there's tremendous curiosity around Farah Khan's third project Happy New Year. While not much is known about the plot - except for the fact that it stars Shah Rukh Khan – Farah is looking to pull off a first of sorts with the music of the film.

At a a recent event when Farah Khan launched a new reality show, her co-judge and Main Hoon Na music director Anu Malik dropped hints about composing music for Happy New Year. "I have to laugh at Farah's jibes since I have to do the soundtrack for her next," Anu said. But this time Farah doesn't intend to stick only to the songs that feature in the film.

When we asked the director if Vishal-Shekhar have a reason to worry despite scoring a chartbusting album in OSO, she said, "I am looking at a completely different style of music for Happy New Year".

Farah added, "The movie requires a variety of sounds – which is why I don't intend on sticking to one composer. I hope Vishal-Shekhar, Anu and all the people I approach will help me on the music of the film". Farah added, "Bhangra Pop artiste Sukhbir might also do a special track for the film."

Speaking on the film's music, Farah further revealed, "I plan to go the World Music way for Happy New Year, as the script demands an international sound. The album will be more of an OST comprising a compilation of original and purchased tracks - as they do for motion picture scores in Hollywood".

Prior to Farah, Sanjay Gupta has experimented with the idea of having multiple composers in one film.

What's happening in Bollywood Town!What's happening in Bollywood Town!

We know what King Khan is doing this summer plus stars lend support to the cause of cancer and 99 has reasons to celebrate!

What is King Khan up to?
Shah Rukh Khan is off to work again, leaving wife Gauri home with the kids during their vacation.
The star is leaving for the United States on June 3, to shoot for My Name Is Khan. He had planned an extended vacation with family but it will be interrupted by the shoot.
Sources close to him said that he had wanted to take the family along but this was not possible, though it might happen later.
My Name Is Khan is being made by Karan Johar and also stars Kajol, a regular with SRK and KJo. SRK hasn’t gone to London this year with his family, as he does usually. His summer was spent in South Africa, at the IPL.
And what is SRK doing next week?
If the director of Kal Kissne Dekha, Vivek Sharma, is to be believed, the star will promote his movie, which stars Jackky Bhagnani and Vaishali Desai.
Kareena Kapoor has done stage shows with Jackky to boost the movie, but Sharma said that while SRK would not do stage shows, he would do his bit. "When I met him last week he said I will ask audiences to go to the single screens and watch the movie," Sharma said, referring to the limited release the film is likely to get because of the strike against multiplexes.

In Aid of CPAA: Aftab Shivdasani, Bakhtiyaar Irani, Raima Sen and Arjan Bajwa pledge their support to the Cancer Patients Aid Associations.

Naughty Boys: Sohail Khan with his sons at the same event. The boys are having a gala time.

The Long and Short of It: Pretty Raima Sen looks nice and simple in her Anarkali outfit while Neetu Chandra keeps it short with an electric blue number with shocking pink flats. We prefer Raima’s traditional outfit versus Neetu’s I-am-trying-hard-to-look-hot number.

Celebration Time: The cast of 99 including Vinod Khanna, Amit Mistry and Cyrus Broacha celebrate the success of the film with the directors and producer. This is the first 99 event that Vinod has attended and it’s probably because it was in South Mumbai.
