First Look: Poonam Pandey partially strips for Team India!
Amongst all the others was actor Poonam Pandey, but the only difference was that Poonam had promised the team much more than just her prayers. However, her claims couldn’t materialize due to various reasons.
But now, Poonam Pandey is back in the news with her tweets for the men in blue. Poonam has gone ahead and posted on the micro-blogging site, that she will be lifting her suspense over her partially promised deed. Apparently, Poonam is all set to inspire the men in blue by delivering on her promise.
“After a whitewash by the English, Dhoni and his boys are very dejected. I want them to win the ODIs and show the world that we are still number one.
An 'Inspiration' is on the way for the Team.... (Keep watching this space) Today!!!All sportsmen need 'inspiration' 2 perform well. And I love my country and want my team to b on top always. (Keep watching this space) Sep. 2 (sic), ” tweeted Poonam on the micro-blogging site.
“Every time Dhoni hits a six, I am raising my hands to celebrate. Don't you wish he hits them all day, Sep. 2 (Keep Watching this Space) A lap of honour, a round of applause, India will win the series. Why? Cause I'm right behind the boys (keep watching this space) Sep. 2 (sic), ” she added.
A die-hard fan of the cricket team, Poonam had promised to partially strip for the team to inspire them. After the shameful defeat in the test series, let’s hope that the Indian team gets inspired by Poonam and we win the ODI’s finally.
Revealed: Kajal Agarwal's naked truth!
Kajal Agarwal's topless photo shoot for a men's magazine is turning out to be quite a slanging match between the actress and the mag folk.
The Singham star, who features in the latest issue, now claims that she did not pose topless for the cover. She alleges she was wearing a tube top that was photoshopped to make her appear nude by the glossy.
As reported 'Breast stroke forward' the actress had apparently shot a topless cover. A source close to Kajal says, "She did shoot for the cover picture wearing a tube top.
But the magazine folk photoshopped it and the top has gone missing.
After the shoot, Kajal made it clear that she would like to see the photos before publication. When she saw the snapshots she was not at all happy and told them not to publish it. But they still did."
Adds the source, "The magazine has also carried an interview with her, but she refused to give one after seeing the snapshots. But still they have attributed quotes to her and said she is on Twitter when she is not."
Blame games
According to Kabeer Sharma, executive editor, FHM India, "This accusation is shocking. It is unfortunate why she has chosen to deny a shoot that she was a willing party too.
She refused to the interview unless we dropped the picture. So we were left with no choice but to carry her profile instead."
Vidya Balan - Woman on top!
She may not have impressed the fashionistas too much with her personal style, but Vidya Balan has managed to wow the people who matter in her professional life.
How else can you explain B-Town's creative lot actually modifying real-life characters in reel to suit her image.
In Sanjay Gupta's Shootout at Wadala, Vidya is being wooed to essay the role of gangster Manya Surve's girlfriend.
While in reality the late don's moll is a widow and mother of two, her character in the movie will now not have any kids. Her widowhood status will also not be given any importance.
Explains Gupta, "We didn't want to stress too much on Surve's girl's past.
The fact that she was married at some point in her life before she met him is of no consequence to the story. We'll barely mention it in passing. And yes, Survey's girl will have no children in my film."
With the character suitably altered, one hopes that Vidya will finally agree to come on board to do her second biographical character in a row after playing Silk Smitha in Dirty Picture.
Incidentally, this role too was substantially altered for Vidya's sake.
Salman's Bigg problem!
Given the rigid format, speculation is rife about whether the ailing star will co-anchor the reality show with Sanjay Dutt now
Salman Khan's health issue has not only affected his film schedules, but has also become a cause of concern for the makers of Big Boss 5.
The actor, who hosted the last season successfully, is supposed to co-anchor the fifth edition of the reality show with Sanjay Dutt from next month. In fact, promos of the show have already started airing.
According to the show's format, Salman has to trek to the Big Boss house in Lonavala every week to shoot his part. Two episodes are shot back-to-back, which can prove quite taxing.
Bigg Boss lasts for over three months and as the episode goes on air the same night, there is no way any adjustments can be accommodated.
This has led to speculation that Dutt may have to host the show solo for several episodes. Says a source, "The channel decided to have two star hosts.
They are keen that both be present every week. The Dabangg star and Munnabhai have their own inimitable styles, so together they can double the fun element."
Adds the source, "But till the picture is clear, Salman shooting for it every week looks difficult. It will prove extremely hectic as he has to continuously keep on talking being the host."
Last season, the actor had to return to Mumbai from Dubai, where he was celebrating his birthday with his family, for a day just for the shoot.
However, channel sources say, "He has not yet reverted about any changes in the shooting schedule." The show is also slated to undergo several changes this year to make it even more appealing.
A pregnant contestant in Bigg Boss 5!
As usual, the channel is tightlipped about the names of the contestants but sources state that this season there will be a participant who is pregnant. The channel refuses to name her at this juncture.
Also NAVJOT SINGH SIDHU and KAMAL R KHAN (who is claiming he is in the show) are definitely not among the contestants.
The channel is keen that KARAN JOHAR be in the house at least for a day especially after Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh have been mustering support on their micro-blogging sites to pack KJo in the house.

Osama bin Laden Death Photo to Be Released?
With conspiracy theories swirling, President Obama has decided to release at least one photo of a dead Osama bin Laden, according to The Drudge Report.
No word on when the White House plans to release the first image. However, a senior U.S. official tells CNN that there were three sets of pictures taken:
Due to the massive head wound across his face, officials do not believe it is suitable to run in the media, however it's the image that's undeniably bin Laden.
No word when and if that particular image will be released, but the "Osama bin Laden death photo" circulating online today is NOT real. It's a hoax, people.
One you can see after the jump if you really want. It's grotesque, probably NSFW and NER (not even real), so you honestly don't have to bother, but ...

How 'bored' Osama spent his last five years at Abbottabad hideout!
The Saudi-born terrorist, who had evaded capture for a decade, was killed in a top secret operation involving a small team of US Special Forces in Abbottabad, located 50 kilometres northeast of Islamabad and 150 kilometres east of Peshawar.
According to a report, Bin Laden's Yemeni wife Amal al-Sadah- one of three wives now in Pakistani custody since the raid on Monday- told investigators that Bin Laden, along with his children and grandchildren, had moved from Haripur to Abbottabad towards the end of 2005.
Interviews paint a portrait of an isolated man, perhaps a little bored, presiding over family life while plotting mayhem, still desperate to be heard, and musing in his handwritten notebooks about killing more Americans, The New York Times reports.
US officials believe that Bin Laden spent many hours on the computer, relying on couriers to bring him thumb drives packed with information from the outside world, the report said.
Videos seized from Bin Laden's compound and released by the Obama administration on Saturday showed him wrapped in an old blanket watching himself on TV, like an aging actor imagining a comeback, the report added.
A senior intelligence official said that other videos showed him practicing and flubbing his lines in front of a camera, adding that the terrorist was interested enough in his image to dye his white beard black for the recordings.
Bin Laden once-large entourage of Arab bodyguards was down to one trusted Pakistani courier and the courier's brother, who also had the job of buying goats, sheep and Coca-Cola for the household, said the report.
While his physical world had shrunk to two indoor rooms and daily pacing in his courtyard, Bin Laden was still revered at home by his three wives, his children and the tight, interconnected circle of loyalists in the compound, it added.
Bin Laden did not do chores or tend to the cows and water buffalo on the south side of the compound like the other men. American officials figure that the household knew how important it was for him to devote his time to Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization he founded and was still actively running at the time of his death.
American officials say there is much they do not know about the last years of Bin Laden and the peculiar life of the compound, said the report.
Little is known about how Bin Laden, believed to be 54, managed his relationships with his three wives, the report said, noting that on the night he was killed, the Al Qaida chief was in his bedroom with his youngest wife- Amal Ahmed Abdulfattah- whose Yemeni passport shows her to be 29 years old.
According to US officials, there were also children in the bedroom. Pakistani intelligence officers have also said that a 12-year-old girl told them that she was a daughter of Bin Laden and that she saw the Americans shoot him.
US officials assume that during the last five years, Bin Laden recorded about a half-dozen audio messages a year from inside the house. The messages were meant for dissemination to the outside world, but to avoid detection, Bin Laden had no Internet or phone lines that he could use to send them.

IPL glam quotient!!!!
It was not just cricket that was the talk of the town during the IPL auction, but the glamorous team owners too made headlines. Who do you think scores most when it comes to glam quotient? Priety, Shilpa or Nita Ambani?
Bum Maaro Bum!!!!
"Hey, phir dekh raha hain… Aaj aakh senkh raha, kal haath senkhega. Aaj dheel chod raha hain, kal khud hi rokega. Aaj mere liye chair kheench raha hain, kal meri skirt kheenchega." These poetic words begin the rehashed version of the iconic classic Dum Maaro Dum from Rohan Sippy’s latest of the same name. Since the music of the film is composed by de-composer, copy king, Pritam, it must’ve been a delight for him to officially do a cover of this classic pothead song, having had a resume filled with unofficial rip-offs. The song, despite the lyrics, will manage to become a hit with clubs everywhere as the chords of the original are hands down, legendary. And Deepika grooving in her shreds-for-a-skirt will only add value to the song. Touché to sleaze appeal!
Apart from the song, a lot of people are very hopeful about Dum Maaro Dum as the movie is one of the big releases after the obvious off-season in Bollywood, courtesy the cricket World Cup. Also, box office speculators are willing to bet their buck on the Rohan Sippy-Abhishek Bachchan combo stating that it has done wonders in the past (stop bluffing!). And this film’s story and songs have been penned by Shridhar Raghavan (not to be mistaken for Sriram Raghavan) whose last writing credit was Chandni Chowk to China (distributers from both these places are still hunting for him).
The film’s cast includes Abhishek Bachchan, accompanied by a character-specific moustache (I have a mooch therefore I am?), spouting cheesy lines like, “Main sirf duty mein peeta hoon. Apne municipality bhaiyon se seekha hoon. Hamesha do-teen laga kar hi gutter mein ghuste hain.” Who’s doing Sreedhar’s appraisal again? Also, the film’s lead actress, Bipasha Basu hasn’t had a hit or a memorable or even a substantial role in the last few years. So no one’s betting on her. The film’s only bankable star would then be Prateik Babbar who has garnered a lot of respect after his critically-acclaimed performance in Dhobi Ghaat. But how many actors get enough screen space in a movie that stars junior B?
To the film’s credit, the editing looks razor sharp but then most films today are cut very well. And if cheesy one-lines and the wannabe mafioso feel have slipped through into the promos, even that department’s performance needs to be questioned. Yet, the release date of April 22 2011, is still some time away. Perhaps, our naïve multiplex junkies will get wiser with the next batch of promos hitting the screens. If not, Hare Krishna and Hare Ram save them!
Sid can't take his eyes off Deepika!
Sid and Deepika were spotted together at the 2011 kingfisher Calender launch recently. Though there are no confirmed reports that both are romantically involved, it's obvious from these pictures that Jnr Mallya is smitten over by the Bollywood diva's charm. Take a look!
