Salman's 'Ready' concert..
Preity's Adoption!
Some months ago, we had reported Preity becoming a benefactor in Amrohi's will for significant sum of assets.
For the uninitiated, here's how the history goes. In a legal suit filed by Shandar Amrohi (s/o late filmmaker Kamaal Amrohi) last year, where he placed claims against his sister Rukhsar and her son Waseem for forgery and document tampering with regard to some family property, Pretity Zinta supported Amrohi, to the extent of eventually helping him win the case. Ever since, the two have maintained a close bond, with Shandar treating Zinta like a daughter.
So much, that news actually pronounced Preity to be a formally 'adopted' daughter of the man.
However, with talks of Amrohi's biographical account - titled From Nowhere To Somewhere - coming to print, and in particular a chapter that deals mostly with the life and facts (read: inside scoops) of Preity's life, more stir has been met. It has been heard that the bubbly actress was rather upset to find out how her personal matters were going to be made public as such. Additionally, she has quashed any notions of being 'adopted' by anyone, or featuring any advantage in Amrohi's will.
Tweets, Preity,
"4 the final time I would like to say NO ONE HAS ADOPTED ME OR WRITTEN A WILL 4 ME ! I helped Mr. Shandar Amrohi in his time of need ! He is a very nice man but NO ONE can EVER take the place of my Father in my life. I am not off the street that I need someone else's wealth!I will request journalists 2 not resort 2 write stories about someone else wanting to be my DAD ; He is NO MORE so pls have some respect !Otherwise I will have no option but 2 resort 2 Legal Means! Journalists prefer Gossip over facts & this is disgusting & unaccaptable by me.On a positive side I have a collection of completely false articles over the years from so called respectable publications that I will put Together in a Book wid a complete profile of da journalist with photos! This will be Poetic Justice & A Journalists hall of shame :-) Ting !"
So much for the always chirpy Preity Zinta, who befriends all, and bears no grudges! Then again, when has the scribe tribe not managed to get on the wrong side of the influential?!
I dated Ranbir, confirms Angela!
The somewhat incredible extra bit of gossip revolves around Johnson's similar bonding with BTown's other hottie, Shahid Kapur - the lad, who is just past his second heartbreak and in lamenting transit of the same. News has it, that while Ranbir was dismising all speculations about a scene between Angela and himself before the media, the lady herself was engaging in flirtations with the other Kapur in indulgent socials. How far she succeeded at that, is not quite known.
But this new public confession from the controversy loving model about having dated Ranbir sure sets some records straight. Yet one wonders about tall claims from Ranbir over making it public if he was in love with anyone... because charms on his side, one just can't brush off candid promises even from Bollywood's exclusive playboy!
Make way for 'Dhanno'
The Sri Lankan actress made her debut with Aladin in 2009, for which she walked away with the IIFA 2010 Best Female Debut Award. Unfortunately her 2010 offering, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, disappointed fans and critics alike, and whilst she certainly added some 'oomph' to the Housefull track, "Aapka Kya Hoga", it was a while before any further projects materialised.
The actress admitted that it was the waiting game that made it difficult for her, especially as she had no connections in the industry and was still very new. After almost a year without any offers she considered calling it quits, deciding that maybe Bollywood really wasn't for her, but was finally encouraged by close friends to stay on.
It seems to have paid of as Jackie is preparing for her summer release - Murder 2. She also seems to have impressed Sajid Khan who selected her for the cast of Housefull 2 whilst Milap Zaveri has signed the actress for two projects in 2012.
Well, it looks like Dhanno's all saddled up and ready to take over a theater near you, do catch her in all four of her upcoming releases lest she opts to gallop away from B-town once more!

Third Time's a Charm
It seems that director Farah Khan has found a close companionship with Salman Khan lately. In fact, they're so close that she even considers him to be her lucky mascot nowadays. An onus that was bagged by none other than King Khan for quite the while, if one will recall.
From Salman's point of view, this has been primarily in the interest of promoting his films - Dabangg and Wanted - which incidentally have both gone on to become mega blockbusters at BO.
This time round, as Salman paid a visit to the sets of Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega again, for his upcoming film Ready, he brought home cooked dinner for everyone.

Dhak Dhak Takes Over for Dream Girl
Hrithik to do 3 roles in Krrish 3!
Who exactly will we see him as? Well, Hrithik will play the father, the son, and also the grandson in the movie. While those of us who can't get enough of him consider this quite an arduous feat, the ever-dedicated Duggu considers it nothing.
Apparently, Hrithik wanted to take on even more roles in the movie, including that of the villain. But rumor has it that daddy Rakesh's first choice for villain role was Prince star, Vivek Oberoi, and as a result, he too is now part of Krrish 3. Sources claim that Rakesh didn't want Hrithik to do the villain role as he felt it would be excessive. As for the reason Vivek got the role, we hear it's because the senior Mr. Roshan is a close friend of Vivek's dad, Suresh, and he was eager to work with his son.
Sonu bares his chest for PETA!
The ad features Sonu clad in a pair of low-waisted jeans along with the tag line: 'Strong Body. Tender Heart. Go Vegetarian'.
According to sources, Sonu was heard saying he is thankful to be a part of the PETA family and that everyone should be aware of their duties towards animals. The actor, who is a hardcore vegetarian himself in real life, was also heard saying that everyone should become vegetarian to make our planet a better place.
In fact, buzz has it that while Sonu was shooting for Dabangg, even fellow actor Salman Khan had tried to make him taste some of his home cooked chicken biryani. But Sood was adamant and had refused to take the bait!
So, how does Sonu manage to maintain those six pack abs, minus any non-vegetarian food? Sonu gives the credit to following the right diet. He was heard saying if one follows the right diet, veggies can help one get their dream body.
BollyCurry congratulates Sonu in his efforts to raise awareness towards the rights of animals and the benefits of going veggie!

Farah to turn Heroine?
Is Sonam apologizing?
Not too long ago, the media was ablaze when Ranbir Kapoor's ex-flames Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor dragged his name through the mud on the popular talk show, Koffee with Karan.
While the news has started to fade away, Sonam Kapoor has resurfaced on tabloid pages. Much to everyone's surprise, she is now all praises for Ranbir.
Soon after the controversial episode had aired, it was reported that Ranbir's dad, Rishi Kapoor, had taken matters into his hands. He was heard talking to Sonam's dad, Anil Kapoor, about the matter. It may be fair to guess, then, that Sonam's tune has changed because she has been pressurized to speak so. Since Sonam is trying to be the good family girl, comments like, "Ranbir is one of my best buddies," come as no surprise.
