Rani Mukherjee compares Sherlyn Chopra with Sophia Lauren

In a profession that witnesses ugly cat fights due to cut throat competition, Rani Mukherjee has taken the first step of complimenting a co-artist for her performance. She surprised Sherlyn Chopra, who has a major role to play in the yet untitled Yash Raj Films production, by not just lending her tips on how to face the camera but also comparing her with none other than Hollywood legend Sophia Lauren! The incident happened recently at BPCL Sports Club where the film, which stars Shahid Kapoor as the male lead, was being shot. Rani was in a particularly happy mood and showered praises on the girl who has not signed any other project than this Yash Raj film and is riding her luck on this single film. She went ahead and called Sherlyn as a younger version of Hollywood legend Sophia Lauren. Since few years back, Bipasha Basu was compared with Sophia Lauren, Sherlyn was naturally ecstatic. "Sophia Lauren comparison? Well, all I can say is that I am humbled. I think Rani has been overtly nice, but hey, who doesn't like compliments? Being someone who is so mature and serious about her work, I sincerely hope that she really meant it when she said so. I would love to keep getting feedback and compliments from an actor of her stature", smiles Sherlyn. The 1934 born Sophia Loren is an Academy Award-winning Italian film actress. She is widely considered to be the most popular Italian actress of her time and is also famous for being a major international sex symbol. Moreover, for the shooting of a particular sequence, even though Rani Mukherjee was not required, she still hung around to see the way Sherlyn approached her scene. Informs a source, "Sherlyn didn't have any clue that Rani was watching her on the monitor, especially for her close up shots. She was engrossed in her performance and was later told by one of the production unit members that Rani was very interested in knowing how she was delivering." The 'bindaas' and 'outrageous' young woman is happy that she was oblivious of Rani's presence on the sets. "Thank goodness, that I came to know about it later because I would have been conscious had I known earlier that Rani was following what I was doing. You never know, I may not have delivered my natural best", says Sherlyn who is looking at reinventing her career while leaving the disappointment of Red Swastik (2007) behind. As per a source from the production unit, Rani was watching Sherlyn's close up shots with keen interest as she is apparently quite fond of her never ending desire to learn the nuances of the art of portraying emotions. In fact, Rani also gave her tips on how to face the camera and explained to her how important it is to know technical details of the varied camera lenses. "Sherlyn was glad that Rani was spending so much of quality time in discussing technical nuances with her", informs the source, "Sherlyn has done only a few films but Rani has been around for so long. She is a reigning star and for someone like her to spend time with her says volumes about her humbleness and professionalism. She was being a friend as well as a mentor, a good combination indeed. Who wouldn't want to learn from a senior actor like her?"

Want to own Sherlyn's personal lingerie & hot photos? Click!

Newbie Sherlyn Chopra, whose pictures hold the record for being some of the most downloaded in the world of internet, has taken a step ahead in being closer to her audience. She is willing to give them a chance to own a part of her. How exactly? Well, she is all set to sell off her personal belongings like lingerie, DVDs and hot images. Wait. Before your mind starts thinking of something really naughty, let it be clarified that she is taking an entirely professional route in doing so. She has launched an online SC (Sherlyn Chopra) store on her official website and this is the place where she would be showcasing items for auction and sale. "You have seen me, now own my stuff as well! Ever felt like being as naughty as me then this is your chance? Well, I am ready to offer all material things that I possess. So while so many women out there may want to look as seductive by wearing the stuff I do, even men may run their fantasies wild by gifting these to their beloved. You never know, you may turn lucky", winks Sherlyn who would soon be seen in a yet untitled film coming from the house of Yash Raj Films that features Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee. Informs a source who has been associated with Sherlyn in designing the website and arriving at the list of items that the hottie is bringing forth for her fans and followers, "The range of merchandise varies from Sherlyn's 'Dard' costume - the diamond studded lingerie paired with golden shorts, a DVD consisting of some never seen before photo shoot videos of Sherlyn, clothing items for girls and 'worth sinning for' images and calendars for guys & girls!" In addition, Sherlyn's 'Bikini Calendar 2009' has been put for sale as well. The calendar will be available in two formats - a hard copy and an electronic version with automatic settings. This is not all as Sherlyn's online store also boasts of some exclusive posters, wallpapers, screensavers, autographed mug and other clothing items like tops, pants, evening wear, swimsuit, body suit amongst others. "This is something unique in India and Sherlyn is being a trend setter yet again", comments a marketing professional who is closely following merchandising trend in Bollywood, "In Hollywood, it's a known concept for a celebrity to put his/her stuff on the website and market it for the common man. It's a good tool as it brings a celebrity closer to his/her fans and followers." Naturally, Sherlyn is thrilled with the response that she has gathered so far from the online community, "I am sure with availability of my stuff on the website, there would be quite a few takers. In fact I am amazed with the number of queries and actual sales which are happening on the site. I am quite positive that it would only turn out better with every passing week." Meanwhile, she is happy shooting for her Shahid Kapoor starrer which is being directed by debutant director Anurag Singh. She got the film courtesy Yash Chopra who was apparently quite impressed with Sherlyn’s abilities ever since he saw her film 'Red Swastik'.

Beware! Katrina Kaif could be dangerous for you!

It seems like everyone is searching for Katrina Kaif including Salman Khan but just like Sallu most of the internet surfers get a heart break when they see their favourite star wreak havoc with their computers. Yes It's true, McAfee Inc., one of the world's largest Security technology giant has done an extensive research on the most dangerous terms on the internet and found Katrina Kaif to be the second most dangerous. The infamous crown went to the search term waptrick. Shahid Kapoor occupied the fifth spot in the list while southern sensation Namitha also made it to the Top 10. Internationally, "Pamela Anderson" and "Jessica Alba" feature in the dangerous list for Canada. Even the Germans have a fatal attraction for "Jessica Alba". "Paris Hilton" poses a danger for the Mexicans and "Amy Winehouse" for the Kiwis of New Zealand. Search categories, like Katrina Kaif, are used to lure unsuspecting consumers to their web sites. Hackers and cybercriminals are often able to persuade searchers to download files carrying malicious software that can cause consumers to expose their personal and financial data. McAfee researched more than 2,600 popular keywords (as defined by Google Zeitgeist, Yahoo! Buzz and others sources) to assess the degree of risk for each. So be cautious next time you search for Katrina on the net. You might end up with a hung, if not infected, computer.

Kareena doesn't completely trust boyfriend Saif

Kareena Kapooris no longer size zero and one person who is having a sigh of relief is none other that Saif Ali Khan. Kareena and Saif are back from their short trip to London and Italy. And there, according to the actress, she ignored her diet routine and, like any big-time foodie, gorged on delectable food items. The result? Well, she gained weight at all the right places. For Saif, the sight of the skinny Kareena gorging on French fries and other delicacies during their vacation was a shock, though a pleasant one. Bebo confesses that he earlier “thought I was thin enough to hang clothes on”, but now Saif is happy that Kareena has got her curves back. In fact, good friend Salman Khan also cautioned Bebo not to lose too much weight, when she appeared on the first episode of the second season of his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’. Sallu went to the extent of stressing that “men like women with some weight.” On the same episode, Kareena also revealed that she doesn't completely trust boyfriend Saif Ali Khan. Kareena and sister Karisma had come as celebrity participants on the first episode of the show hosted by Bollywood star Salman Khan. The first question that they were faced with was, what percentage of Indians check their spouse's phone records and SMSs. Before the two sisters could answer with a prediction, Salman posed another question, 'why do women check messages etc?' At which, Karisma answered candidly, "Well I certainly check my husband's call records and SMSs...I'm telling all wives and girlfriends, pick up your husband's phone and check." Kareena added, "We check because of our insecurities and we are inquisitive about who they talk to the whole day." At this, Karishma revealed that Kareena even answers her boyfriend's phone in a stern voice. Looking a little embarassed, Kareena confessed, "Well, Saif works with such good-looking heroines, who knows..."

Getting intimate with a girl doesn't mean I'm a Lesbian: Neetu Chnadra

Denying rumours that she got carried away while shooting a provocative male fantasy photo shoot for the cover of a men’s magazine, actress Neetu Chandra (of Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!) has stated, “I very much knew what I was doing and never got carried away. But if there is even an iota of doubt in anyone’s mind, let me make it clear once and for all that I am not a lesbo.” It can be recalled that Neetu was shooting for the cover of ‘The Man’ magazine with a model outside the lobby of a 3- star hotel last week, when a group of regular male customers started shouting “Jai Maharashtra” slogans and threatened action from Raj Thackeray’s Maharashrtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). They even tried to confiscate the camera, resulting in the shoot having to be abruptly called off. Neetu had termed them as “some frustrated men, who just wanted my attention. When they didn’t get it, they started making a scene about the shoot and threatening us.” Now there has been talk about some activists planning to burn copies of the said magazine when its issue carrying Neetu’s images releases next week, alleging that the images have lesbian connotations. But Neetu flatly denies the charge. “It’s about two girls getting intimate to arouse male interest. And that doesn’t mean it’s about lesbianism,” she reiterates. She says the shoot has been done so aesthetically that several Bollywood biggies have complimented her after the pictures made its way into television channels and papers even before the magazine hit the stands. “I am getting so many congratulatory phone calls, SMS’s and emails,” says Neetu and adds that even her family members in the conservative city of Patna, instead of being embarrassed, have praised the pictures.

Slumdog kids invited for grand tea party in The House of Commons, London

Oscar and Bafta Award winning film Slumdog Millionaire seems like going a step further in recognising its star cast to the world audience. Be surprised because it's not Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. Slumdog Millionaire's Azharuddin Mohammed and Rubina Ali have received a special invite from Britain's MP Keith Vaz to attend a grand tea party to be held at the House of Commons in Westminster later this month. Keith Vaz wanted to invite both the kids in the month of April but due for reasons unknown, it didn't work out. Now he has made sure that there are no further delays. Both the kid's family accepted the invitation sent by Vaz and are now ready to leave for London in the near future to attend the grand tea party. Though the date of the party is still to be decided, Vaz wished that both Azharuddin and Rubina meet the UK media and their well wishers who've praised their performances in the multiple award winning film.

Speaking exclusively from London with UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent, Keith said, "Both the kids have left a lasting impression on the people of UK to such an extent that they are now interested in knowing about the personal lives of the kids after what was badly written about them in the Indian and world press. I haven't yet decided the date when the party will be held but it sure is going to happen in the near future."

Well, these kids deserve much more than just slums. Way to go kids!
