Sanjay Dutt steps into SRK's shoes

Many may have thought that actor Shahrukh Khan would take a long break after two back to back big releases like RA.ONE and DON 2. But, the King Khan cannot afford to do so and so has planned a very short four days trip to Dubai with his family. He'll come back to start shooting for Yash Chopra's directorial venture from the first week of January 2012 which was supposed to go on floors on March.

Interestingly, not only SRK but actor Sanjay Dutt has also cut short his New Year plans and will shoot a special episode of Bigg Boss on December 31, 2011. Sanju Baba had planned a trip to Bali for the New Year celebrations with his family, but as the channel authorities have requested him, the host of the show will now comeback to Mumbai to shoot the episode in Karjat.

Meanwhile, the actor is also making a buzz for his menacing expressions and fearsome look in the promos of his upcoming film AGNEEPATH. The second theatrical trailer of the film was released with DON 2. 

It also seems that 2012 is a promising year for Sanjay. The actor will be playing characters inspired by real life cops in ZILLA GHAZIABAD and Ram Gopal Verma's DEPARTMENT. He will be seen in another super cop movie produced by Dharam Oberoi and TP Aggarwal's tentatively titled THANEDAAR RETURNS. Sanjay will also return as Munna in another sequel of MUNNABHAI.

Why don't you come here and I will demonstrate to you what an actual kiss is!"

John doesn't think Hrithik is the fittest actor in Town

Hrithik Roshan  might have won millions of hearts owing to his fit shape but there is someone who thinks Hrithik is not actually the fittest actor in town.

	JOHN ABRAHAM and HRITHIK ROSHAN

Yes, you heard it right. John Abraham does not agree to the popular perception of Hrithik being the fittest actor in town and the actor has his own good reasons to claim so. Says John, "There is no bollywood actor who is a perfect example of fitness. Hrithik has a great upper body but that is not enough. If I have to name one actor who I am impressed with as far as fitness is concerned, it will be Akshay Kumar." 

John also has some tips for the Indian men as far as fitness is concerned. He adds, "I would advise Indian men to care for their lower body workout too. Fitness is not having bulging biceps and a great chest alone. Working out your legs is as important as the upper body."

Well, let's see if Hrithik has anything to say to add to John's claim.

Veena Malik regrets ‘tragic’ nude photo shoot

Mumbai: Pakistani starlet Veena Malik, who made a splash in the Indian showbiz industry last year with her sleazy stint in reality TV ‘Bigg Boss 4,’ regrets the latest controversy that stirred her nation.

The actress from across the border has confessed that she has made a mistake by posing topless for the magazine but has categorically denied going nude. She had indeed covered her modesty with her arms and was wearing a bikini bottom while shooting for FHM magazine.

However, according to her, the magazine cheated on her by tampering with her images.

Talking to a daily, Veena said, “Yes, of course, both the images were morphed. My upper portion was covered with tattoos. I think if I could rewind this time, I would like to delete. I feel cheated.”

“But we all make mistakes, I have made a mistake, learned from it and want to move on,” she added.

Reportedly, Veena’s father had disowned her following the news that shamed him utterly and also called in for severe action against her. Her subsequent participation in ‘Swayamwar’ forced many Islamic bodies to issue ‘Fatwa’ on her for disrespecting their community.

“It has been tragic and traumatic, really sad. It has been very difficult,” the tainted actress said.

Most of her actions have made news and it is believed that she is a desperate publicity seeker!

Well, we really wonder if you sincerely repent for the controversy Ms Malik!

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' named greatest music video of all time

Michael Jackson's revolutionary 'Thriller' has been named as the greatest music video of all time, almost three decades after it was created.

The creepy video that has the late singer transformed into both a werewolf and a zombie got the maximum votes; narrowly beating Lady Gaga's raunchy Telephone in the poll.

Another classic promo, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, which dates back to 1975, was voted third by musicians' website musicradar.com.

'Thriller', made by John Landis, the director of An American Werewolf In London, is credited with turning pop videos into an art form of their own.

The 14-minute film was the most expensive video of its day, when it was first shown in 1983, and cost half a million dollars to create.

Gaga's violent Telephone is another epic, the nine minutes film was created by Jonas Akerlund, who was behind Prodigy's controversial Smack My B**** Up, which is seventh in the list.

"Lady Gaga ran Thriller very close, but it still seems right that the promo that saw the birth of the pop video as a cultural event should hold the top spot - for now," the Sun quoted Will Groves, editor-in-chief of Music Radar, as saying.

Top 10
1. Michael Jackson - Thriller
2. Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce - Telephone
3. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
4. Johnny Cash - Hurt
5. Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
6. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
7. The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
8. Beastie Boys - Sabotage
9. Foo Fighters - Everlong
10. Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Salman Khan spoils Sanjay Dutt's New Year plans for his own party

As Sallu will party away in Dubai, Sanju, his co-host on a reality show, will cut short his Bali vacation to make up for his absence 

Work commitments have thrown a spanner in the holiday plans of Sanjay Dutt. The star along with wife Maanayata and twins Shahraan and Iqra left over the weekend for a vacation in Bali.

But now he has been summoned back for a special shoot on December 31 for the reality show he hosts.

As co-anchor Salman Khan has kept himself away from the shoot, Dutt has no way out but to return by December 30.

Says a source, "Sanjay had planned the family trip around Christmas and had planned to return only after January 1.

He waited for his flick Agneepath's trailer launch on Friday and the show's shoot on Saturday and planned his departure only after these events.

But the makers of Bigg Boss planned a special episode shoot on December 31 and the channel authorities requested Sanjay to be present for it."

Adds the source, "He decided to return on December 30. He will fly in a chopper to Karjat on December 31 for the special episode shoot."

As Salman is not shooting for the show, there was no other option left for Sanjay or the channel. "As a result he decided to be professional and not let personal reasons overrule." Dutt now plans to usher in 2012 in Mumbai.

Last year, Salman who was in Dubai for his birthday (December 27) as well as New Year celebrations had flown into Mumbai in the wee hours of December 31 to shoot for the episode and returned to Dubai in the evening.

But this time, the star who is slated to be in the desert Emirate again is in no mood to fly down for the shoot.
