"If Hollywood has Jennifer Lopez, we have Caterina Lopez!!"

The influx of foreign beauties into Bollywood continues with a greater fervor than ever as the popularity of item numbers reaches greater heights- all thanks to the glam quotient imparted by Munni and Sheila last year. So, this year we have Jennifer Lopez’s cousin sister Caterina Lopez, making her Bollywood debut with a raunchy item song in director Ankush Bhatt’s film Bhindi Bazaar Inc.

Talking about her experience in Bollywood, Caterina says, “It was not easy learning the whole Bollywood style of dancing because it’s very different. It’s a different ball game altogether. Learning the song was also very tough but once I got a hang of it, it became better. Honestly I think I did a good job.”

Caterina is alien to the language here but no where in the song has she missed the lip sync. She hopes for a career in Bollywood and is planning to learn Hindi soon.

“I’m still struggling with the language. Here and there I’ve learned a few words, but I’m definitely planning to get a teacher and learn Hindi completely,” she added.

The song has Caterina draped in a sexy sari and a skimpy blouse. Caterina has SRK as her favorite actor and she candidly confesses that she has once had a crush on him but the gal choses to stay mum on her relationship with Jlo.

"Madhuri Dixit is the lifestyle ambassador of ‘Food Food’"

Madhuri said that she didn’t know how to cook when she was full-time into films but learnt after she got married and moved to the US.

Madhri Dixit has been appointed as lifestyle ambassador of Food Food, a 24×7 Hindi TV channel. The channel, which would be a celebration of food and associated lifestyle, is business collaboration between Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khana Khazana India and Astro, the Malaysian company with interests ranging from telecom to media.

At the launch of his Food Food channel in Hotel Imperial when Kapoor questioned Madhuri that if she were to throw a party at home, which three Bollywood stars would she choose to invite, Madhuri answered with a laugh, “Well, I guess I’ll choose all the Bollywood heroes.”

‘First, I’ll of course choose Shah Rukh Khan,’ said Madhuri, ‘because he always praises whatever I do.’

‘Next, I’ll choose Aamir Khan because he is going to analyse my cooking, and then point out how a particular dish could do with a little more of salt, etc. He’s the analytical type, you see,’ reasoned Madhuri.

‘And then I’ll choose Salman Khan because he’s simply going to come and ask for the food without any ado.’

"Hrithik Roshan turns to smaller screen to host a dance reality show"

America’s popular TV show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ is making its way to India and when talking of a host to guide the show on its way to popularity, there could be no other name so apt than of Bollywood’s most talented dancer, Hrithik Roshan himself.

The whole world swears by the dancing skills of Hrithik. In the words of Flexy Stu and Loren L, Hrithik’s choreographer for ‘Kites’, “Hrithik is a perfectionist and a workaholic; he would call us late at night to come down from out hotel, get into his car and meet up to listen to the track he did. He’s really excited about the music and he’s really striving to be authentic. A lot of actors in Bollywood try to take short cuts; he’s real the whole time.”

While Hrithik will anchor the show, Farah Khan will be one of the judges. Its also rumored that Hrithik will be paid a whopping Rs. 2 crore to play the host!

With this, one more Bollywood star gives in to the temptation of the reality shows on the smaller screen…….

After John and Hrithik, Aamir Khan is the next bad guy in ‘Dhoom 3′

Be it the sexy biker John Abraham in ‘Dhoom’ or the mesmerizing eyed thief Hrihtik Roshan in ‘Dhoom2’, the villains have always over powered the good guys Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and Ali (Uday Chopra). So, what could be better choice for Yash Raj Films’ to have Aamir Khan as the villain in their ‘Dhoom 3’?

Yes, it is official now that perfectionist Khan is donning the cap of the bad guy for Aditya Chopra in ‘Dhoom 3’. Confirming the news, Aamir said, “I have recently signed Dhoom 3. I liked the script very much. When I had watched Dhoom, I liked it a lot. I enjoyed the music and the whole attitude. It’s a very fun film. I really liked it. I never thought I would fit in this kind of film.”

“When I heard the story from Victor, I really enjoyed it. Very well-written script, very enjoyable. It’s a great franchise and I am happy to be part of it. I am also looking forward to work with Abhishek and Uday,” Aamir said adding, “It’s true that for the first time I’m doing a negative role, an anti-hero in the mainstream film. I liked my role and all the characters are very well-written. Actually, in between I did another negative role in an offbeat film 1947 Earth.”

This would be the star’s third Yash Raj film after Parampara and Fanaa. The actress opposite the star is yet to be finalized.

Yash Chopra, too, expressed his joy in having Aamir on board. He said, “It’s a great pleasure to have Aamir working with our banner. I am terribly excited with what an actor like Aamir can bring to the Dhoom franchise with his unique star power and level of performance. Adi and Victor have worked over a year to bring out, what I can now confidently say, is possibly one of the best scripts coming out of our production house.”
