Salman Khan's new fitness secret

Salman Khan has now apparently started walking to Satara, where he is shooting for the sequel of Dabangg.

Salman Khan is taking his health very seriously these days. Not only has the actor stopped drinking and smoking, post his recent health scare, buzz is that he has also taken up long-distance walking to stay fit.

Salman Khan was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia (a facial nerve disorder that gives a shock-like pain to the forehead, cheek and jaw). He also apparently has an abnormality in his brain but cannot risk getting operated, lest he falls into a coma. And despite all his ailments, Salman Khan has not given up his strict exercise regime.

A source said, "Salman has been trying out different ways of keeping fit. If he is not in prime shape, it may affect his general health."

Salman Khan has now apparently started walking to Satara, where he is shooting for the sequel ofDabangg. 

The source added, "He makes it a point to walk everyday from Panchgani (where he stays) to Wai (where the shooting is taking place). Since the entire stretch is 15 kilometers, Salman ends up walking 30 kilometers a day."

Gaddafi kept schoolgirls as sex slaves: Book

Slain Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi beat and raped kidnapped schoolgirls he used as sex slaves, a reporter has revealed in a new book. French journalist Annick Cojean revealed how a 15-year-old victim, named as Soraya, was abducted in 2004 by the late tyrant's 'talent scouts' after she was chosen to give him a bouquet when he visited her school.

She was driven for hours through the desert, had blood taken and her breasts measured before being stripped and shaved.

After being dressed in a thong and low-cut white satin dress, Soraya was escorted to Gaddafi's bedroom and was shocked to find him naked.

"He said, 'Don't be afraid. I'm your papa. That's what you call me, isn't it? But I'm also your brother and your lover. I']'m going to be all that for you. Because you are going to stay and live with me forever'," Soraya revealed according to the book Les Proies: Dans le harem de Kadhafi (Prey: In Gaddafi's Harem).

According to the paper, Gaddafi repeatedly raped, beat and urinated on the teenager during her five years in captivity.

Sometimes other girls would join them. When another girl performed oral sex on Gaddafi he would tell Soraya to 'Watch and learn,' the report said.

One girl describes how she was forced to wear lacy underwear and watch porn films, and added that Gaddafi had 'needed' several girls every day.

According to the paper, the book also revealed how Gaddafi's sex slave victims are still suffering after being rejected by their families for having sex when they were not married.

Shah Rukh changes his fitness routine for 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'

Shah Rukh Khan trained in a new exercise format to perfect his look in Yash Chopra's upcoming film

Shah Rukh Khan's look in in his upcoming Yash Chopra film is distinctly different from his two previous projects Don 2 and RA.One. Buzz is that the actor had to train in a very different fitness format to achieve his new look. 

Our sources say all credit goes to SRK's personal trainer Prashant Sawant who taught him VIPR. Prashant is the same trainer who was behind SRK's six-pack abs in Om Shanti Om. 

A source close to the trainer tells us, `Prashant learned VIPR first when he was in London and then trained Shah Rukh for Yashji's film.`

Speaking to us from the US, Prashant states, `VIPR (Vitality, Performance and Reconditioning) is great for staying fit and flexible. Shah Rukh was the first person after me to try this. Being a fitness enthusiast, he is always trying on new things. No wonder in this film he is looking so young.`

Don't ask Rani about Aditya Chopra!

Rani Mukerji has always preferred to shy away from the media glare and avoid any unwanted questions about the presence of a certain Mr Aditya Chopra in her life 

Now that her film Aiyyaa is due to release next month, she has no choice but do the rounds of television shows and give interviews for her upcoming film. But any question about AC is not exactly cool with her. 

The actress also insists that all her interviews be taped. So channel bytes are okay but print media folk need to carry a dictaphone to ensure that no words are added here and there. So is she also taping all her interviews and will she match it with whatever is written about her? Phew!

'Barfi!' goes to Oscar, 'Vicky Donor' director upset

Shoojit Sircar is happy that 'Barfi!' has been selected as India's official entry for the Oscars this year, but at the same time he is upset with the producers of 'Vicky Donor' for not sending it for the jury's consideration 

The Film Federation of India (FFI) announced Saturday that Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz starrer will be India's official entry for the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

'I'm really happy for Ranbir Kapoor, Anurag Basu and the whole team of 'Barfi!' on the film's selection as India's entry to the Oscars. Congratulations!, ' said Sircar in a statement. 

'However, as far as my film 'Vicky Donor' is concerned, I'm very disheartened, disappointed and angry that one of this year's most original high concept story was not even considered by the producers of the film to be sent for the jury's consideration, ' added the director. 

Actor John Abraham's JA Entertainment co-produced 'Vicky Donor' with Eros International. Made at a shoestring budget of of Rs.5 crore, the film on sperm donation rocked the box office by collecting Rs.45 crore. 

'I was in complete shock when the jury told us that they have not received the film from Eros for consideration...this purely shows their disregard for a film that brought them commercial success as well as critical acclaim, ' Sircar said.

'I would also like warn all directors to beware of producers and watch out for their films at every stage. For somebody like me and the kind of films I make, what makes me happiest is the critical acclaim much more than the commercial gains. I sincerely hope that Eros in future does not repeat this mistake with any other film, ' said Sircar.

I am neither marrying, nor doing 'Jism 3': Nathalia Kaur

Brazilian model-turned-actress Nathalia Kaur is sick of rumours. She has clarified that she is neither tying the knot with anyone, nor is she a part of "Jism 3". 

"I am not doing 'Jism 3' and I am not getting married. So I want to clear it I am not doing that film, " Nathalia told reporters here. 

The actress started her career in Bollywood with a special appearance in Ram Gopal Varma's "Department" earlier this year. 

Nathalia says she has signed two Bollywood projects as of now, but she is more keen on southern projects. 

"I just love what I am doing right now. Right now I am keener on couple of south projects and I have signed two Bollywood films. I have not started working yet on the Bollywood project, so can't talk much about the film, " she added. 

Nathalia says she does not choose her films just for money or fame. 


"People might think it's easy, but it's not. So one has to wait for the right opportunities and to work with the right people. We have to be very careful with the kind of films we do. I will do a film only if it makes me feel happy and not just for money or fame, " the 22-year-old said.

Ranbir and Priyanka are not my friends: Ileana D'Cruz

Barfi! actress on her first Bollywood co-star and her lessons in love

Ever since Barfi! released, people haven't stopped talking about Ranbir Kapoor. However, the film also marked South actress Ileana D' Cruz's Bollywood debut. 

Not only does she essay the role of the film's narrator, she also plays a significant character in the film's storyline. Despite recuperating from a bout of food poisoning, Ileana chats with us about riding high on the film's success and Barfi! being a major milestone in her life.

What a time to fall sick!
I have been living out of hotels for so long. This is just a rare case.


You must be feeling better already given the audience's response to Barfi!?
I was very confident that people would love the film. Some people have described the phenomenon as the Barfi! fever.

You have two lead actors playing disabled characters. Was it difficult to play normal?
Call it my guts or whatever you want to. I did the film as I knew I would never be a part of such a film ever again in my life. I too was not very sure in the beginning if I would be able to pull off the role. I didn't have to speak much in the film. My eyes did the talking.

You spent a lot of time with Ranbir and Priyanka Chopra.
I actually don't know if I can call them friends. Despite spending more than a year with Ranbir, I hardly know him. He hardly opened up; he is so detached. In fact PC and I spoke nineteen to the dozen.


Has the film taught you any real-life lesson?
It has taught me to love without expectations. As of now, I'm all for the heart!

There was quite a time leap in the film. Was it easy looking old?
It was the most tedious process and it was quite shocking for me. Actually the make-up crew told me I didn't look old at all. I also had to get into a bodysuit, which we named the fat-suit. It was like being inside a sauna.

From shorts to 'transparent' Saree: Poonam's makeover

The model showed up for aarti at Andhericha Raja, which had vented spleen against her for turning up in shorts last year; opted for a 'transparent' saree for this year's appearance

It is now old news that Azad Nagar Ganeshotsav mandal in Andheri (West), better known as Andhericha Raja, banned devotees clad in shorts and other 'revealing' clothes from their mandal this year.

Earlier in the month, the mandal authorities had famously attributed the decision to Poonam Pandey and her clothing when she visited the mandal last year ('Mandal that banned short clothes blames Poonam Pandey' MiD DAY, September 10). Doing a sudden volte-face, the same mandal invited the model to perform aarti in front of their idol last evening. And much to their relief, Pandey turned up (fumbling) in a saree.


The members of the mandal, who said that they had a 'tough time handling her' when she showed up in shorts last year, ironically welcomed her back to their sanctum, less than a month after venting their spleen. They claimed that they were worried about what clothes she would turn up in, for this year's visit, and were relieved to discover that she had followed the sartorial rules laid down by the mandal.

A far cry from her shirt and shorts avatar last year, Pandey showed up in a white and purple saree. She was seen walking self- consciously, somehow managing the yards wrapped around her as she walked towards the stage. 

Uday Salian, spokesperson for the mandal, who had attributed the 'ugly environment' in his pandal to Pandey's presence last year, said, `We were not sure how she would be coming as she had told us she would come.

But until she actually reached in that attire we were still anticipating her final look. But we were satisfied with the new look and seeing her in a saree, minus her shorts which we saw last time.`


A source from the mandal said, requesting anonymity, `She was not wearing a proper traditional saree like any other woman would wear; instead she was wearing a very revealing transparent saree. But we were glad that she at least wore a saree and was not showing off her legs like last time.` 

Pandey said, `This was the second time in my life that I am wearing a saree as I don't feel comfortable carrying it. I had worn it because I wanted to go for a change and thought of seeking blessings of the Lord.

It was my choice to wear a saree and I did not follow any dress code as I still believe that nothing is hidden from the Lord. Why alter ourselves in front of him?`

Katrina throws a fit when asked to pose 'Seductively'

The actress apparently came down heavily on an ad film director after he requested her to pose 'seductively' during a soap ad shoot

The cat's out of the bag! We heard that at a recent soap ad shoot, Katrina Kaif threw a fit after being asked by the director to play 'seductress' while the actress posed inside a bath tub.

Kat is the brand ambassador of the soap company and was shooting for a new commercial. Our source says, `Since it was a soap ad, Katrina was required to shoot for her scenes inside a bath tub. 

Despite giving several shots, the director didn't think Kat was emoting the right 'seductive' expressions. He requested her to try once more.`


All hell broke lose after that with the actress even apparently issuing a warning to the director to not `push the envelope`. The source adds, `Kat was cordial with everyone on the sets. However, after the director made his request, Kat lost it.` 

Post this, the crew decided to stay mum on the issue and proceeded to wrap up the shoot at the earliest.

Ameesha Patel: Gimme a Break

A busy Ameesha Patel is longing for a vacation

Ameesha Patel, who had planned to take it easy, is suddenly overloaded with work. According to a source, `She had been desperately trying to take a break for 15 days but with so much happening, her holiday plans seems to be getting further delayed.` 

The actress, who is busy dubbing for her film Shortcut Romeo with Neil Nitin Mukesh, was planning to take a vacation along with her production house partner Kuunal Goomer and wife Shammli since the past four months. 

But somehow Ameesha's schedule did not permit her to take such a long holiday.


Adds the source, `She will also shortly be shooting for her sunglass endorsement Glam Star. In the new campaign, she will come out with an even younger chic look. 

The brand folk feel that the new look will shock people and her fans as well. Post this she will continue to shoot for Bhiayyaji Superhit with Sunny Deol and then her home production Desi Magic rolls.`


Those close to her state that Ameesha is enjoying her life more then she ever has and this happiness is the reason for her glowing face and personality. 

The source concludes, `Looking at her current line of projects in hand we guess her holiday plans don't seem to be happening this year for sure.`

An insider has told the New York Daily News that the actress is willing to do paid appearances. But she won't come cheap. A second source revealed "an appearance could be around six figures."

An insider close to Holmes' agency has confirmed that, "She was approached by Hilfiger for a Fashion Show appearance and she passed (and) she was approached by a liquor company and she passed."

The Holmes source also said companies see Holmes as more approachable since her split from Cruise, but she's not personally involved in any corporate courtships.

"Katie never did this before her split with Tom," the first insider said.

Popping into parties isn't the only way Holmes could pocket extra cash.

"Brands (want) Katie to wear their clothing for money, and then she'll get photographed in it," said first source, adding that at least one retailer already has Holmes in their duds.

Spice Girls love fondling each other's boobs: Mel B

Mel B has revealed that the 'Spice Girls' liked to grab each other's breasts, while posing topless to raise awareness about breast cancer.

"I love boobs. Me and the other Spice Girls are always having a feel of each other's - Geri came up behind me and grabbed mine the other day," the Mirror quoted her as telling Cosmopolitan magazine.

"My eldest, Phoenix, 13, does it already. Raising awareness of any type of cancer is something that's close to my heart," she added.

Lady Gaga invites people over to watch her sleep

Lady Gaga invited over some celebrity friends to watch her sleep at the Guggenheim Museum to mark the end of the New York Fashion Week, it has been revealed.

According to the New York Daily News, the ever-controversial singer arrived to the black-tie end of show party at around 6:30 pm, sidestepping the red carpet where reporters weren't expecting her for another hour.

She was fashionably early because she wanted to prepare for her performance art piece, "Sleeping with Gaga."

Guests for her sleepy installation were extremely limited.

"She personally decided who got the nod for invitations and who couldn't come," Contactmusic quoted an insider as saying.

Although the songstress has been busy with her 'Born This Way' tour and a new album, "she's really hard-working and took this upon herself," the source said. The party "is important to her."

At around 9pm, Gaga climbed into her bed for the piece – which was a weird egg/claw structure – and allowed some of her star guests, such as Paris Hilton and Marc Jacobs, to poke her through strategic holes whilst she slept.

45 minutes later, Gaga emerged from the egg, which was when assistants stripped her down to lingerie and thigh highs.

She then crawled back into the strange cradle and was tattooed live on a big screen TV.

All this was in aid of her new perfume, which she wants to smell "like an expensive hooker."

French magazine publishes 'topless' snaps of Kate

While the royal family is still reeling from the naked Prince Harry scandal, a French magazine has now published snaps claiming to show the Duchess of Cambridge topless.

The future Queen is facing embarrassment after the revealing pictures of her and hubby Prince William enjoying a private sunshine holiday this month were printed.

The royal couple thought they would not be photographed as they stayed at the magnificent Chateau D'Autet in Provence, owned by a nephew of the Queen.

But France's Closer mag obtained images of the pair, now in Malaysia as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour, by the swimming pool - including snaps of Kate, 30, half naked, the Mirror reported.

"We have to say that after Closer magazine comes out, Harry is going to feel a lot less alone," Closer France editor Laurence Pieau said.

Now Italian magazine publishes Kate's topless snaps

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's topless pictures, first published in France's Closer magazine, have now appeared on the front cover of Italian magazine Chi.

Chi has around 200 images of Middleton sunbathing naked, reports showbizspy.com.

The Chi cover, featuring three pictures of a topless princess, was unveiled Saturday in Italian newspapers and television, under the headline "Court Scandal: The Queen is Nude!"

Alfonso Signorini, the editor of Chi, has tweeted that "not even a direct call from the Queen" would stop him from publishing the pictures.

Signorini, 48, posted the message online after being posed the question by one of his followers on Twitter.

"I am convinced by this scoop that Chi will be publishing on Monday because that is what we are talking about," he said.

"These pictures are not offensive or in poor taste, they are not morbid and they do not damage the dignity of anyone. Instead the pictures that were published in Britain of Prince Harry were exactly that - if I didn't recognise the journalistic value of what I had, then if I did not publish them I would be better off in a market selling artichokes.

"These pictures were taken while the couple were on a terrace and they were taken from a public place, so there is no suggestion of an invasion of privacy," he added.

Mumbai boy becomes youngest skydiver

Krish Shanghvi, the eight-year old from Mumbai recently became the youngest skydiver on the planet, when he jumped off a plane from an altitude of 10,000 feet in Mozzel Bay, South Africa.

The act involved a thrilling 45-second free fall at 200 kilometers per hour, before the parachute unfurled.

Shanghvi achieved the dive in tandem with trainer Mr. Henk Van Wky.

His elder brother, Parth, holds the record of becoming the youngest scuba diver in the world. Parth achieved the feat in February 2010 in Goa.

Speaking to mediapersons, Shanghvi's father, Mehul Upendra Shanghvi, said that Krish was inspired by Parth's achievements.

"Getting inspired by his brother's feat, young Krish, who was only six years then, wanted to break some record," he said.

"We thought of skydiving, but in India the minimum age for skydiving is 16. So, we contacted some skydiving centers in Slovenia, where there is no age restriction for skydiving. But Krish was too small to fit in the Harness then" he added.

The standard three student from SVKM International School in Vile Parle has been awarded a certificate by Unique World Records, and the family has also applied to Limca Book of Records to have his name included.

Previously, the youngest skydiver in the world was Romanian girl Valentina Mihanciu, who performed the feat at the age of nine.

The record of being the youngest skydiver in India was held by Kolkata's Anaina Malik who had achieved the feat at the age of 13, jumping in Mauritius.
