While Anurag Kashyap states he has already signed Anushka Sharma for his upcoming film, the actress denies having any knowledge of itEver since Anurag Kashyap announced in April that Ranbir Kapoor has been cast in his ambitious project Bombay Velvet, there was also buzz that the filmmaker had signed Anushka Sharma as the female lead. But now it looks like that may not be true at all! When we spoke to Anurag a few days ago to confirm on which Bollywood actress has signed the dotted lines for the film, he simply stated, `Anushka Sharma, it is!`
However, the twist in the tale happened when we met Anushka to speak about the same and she stated, `I haven't signed the project yet. It is still pending. So I can't comment on it until I sign the film. ` Is there some miscommunication then?
After 'Raajneeti' and 'Heroine', Arjun Rampal shoots for another lovemaking scene on screen. This time much more confident For someone who previously cringed at the mere mention of shooting for a lovemaking scene, Arjun Rampal has come a long way. No longer has he done away with all the hang-ups regarding the same, recently he also helped his co-star Esha Gupta calm her nerves during the shoot of an intimate scene with him. Arjun says, `When I shot my first intimate scene for Raajneeti, I was a little hesitant. I went, 'Oh my god, yeh main kaise kar paunga, yeh main kyu kar raha huun'. But, then I realised it's a part of my job! Now when I shoot for any intimate scene, I just take it in my stride. ` The actor adds, `Intimate scenes are done when the script demands. It doesn't make sense forcing it. Earlier sex was a taboo. But now our new generation doesn't take it that way. In my film with Prakash Jha, the intimate scenes are incorporated in the right manner. `Jha says, `After doing the lovemaking scene in Raajneeti, Arjun has become a veteran. We shot the scenes very aesthetically with half-light.` Courtesy: Mid-Day.com

Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina KaifProducer: Aditya ChopraCinematography: Ravi K. ChandranDirector: Kabir KhanRating: ****Salman Khan's movies are just like the gravity defying stunts. No matter what their limitations are they somehow work out in the end for everyone, except the critics who generally stare with mouths agape scarcely believing their prophecy going wrong one more time. But with Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger, Salman's critics finally get a rare moment of Indian cinema when they don't have to trash the biggest star in the town and yet enjoy his work. Perhaps, that's lovey-dovey Yash Raj magic - where everyone leaves happy. The film starts with Tiger's introduction - a RAW agent, who successfully completes all assignments with clockwork precision. He is the envy of his contemporaries and the cynosure of his boss, Girish Karnad.A challenging assignment takes him to Dublin, Ireland where a scientist is, suspected of selling missile technology secrets to Pakistan. Tiger gradually falls in love with the professor's caretaker Zoya (Katrina Kaif), who is studying at a dance academy. 
However, there's a twist in the tale and Tiger gets separated from his ladylove because of the call of his duty. But the smart script by Kabir Khan ensures that the love birds meet again at Turkey. Meanwhile the interesting twists and turns keep the audience engrossed. Despite being a serious spy setup, the film has a tongue-in-cheek humour.The fight sequences in the movie are breath-taking and for the first time after ages, one feels that Salman has given us more of a love story then mindless fight sequences, the credit for which goes to Kabir Khan as some scenes remind you of James Bond movies. 
Add to all this, the perfect chemistry between the lead pair and you have a refreshing cocktail to savour. The songs of the movie are already a hit and the choreography is chic and not loud. However, Sallu does'nt deliver as a dancer but Kat more than makes for it. The supporting cast has done a good job. Girish Karnad is his vintage best. Ranvir Shorey as Gopi is maturing into a quality actor. Kabir Khan has lived up to his reputation and done a pretty good job. There are some directorial flaws which can't be overlooked, like Zoya bleeding in a mugging scene due to the sharp knife wound on the neck but the blood vanishes in thin air in the next scene. However, overall this movie would ensure that he remains occupied with prestigious projects and banners.
So if you are a Sallu fan or a Kat fan or you enjoy good quality cinema, you must watch this movie as it has everything a Bollywood fan would fish for. Even Kat has matured into a fine actor and Salman totally looks into his elements.So if you are looking out for a fun outing during this long weekend, go pay a visit to this exquisite YRF 'Tiger' Safari.
A restaurant in Miami offers patrons sushi served on naked men and women to the tune of 500 dollars per "human platter". Kung Fu Kitchen and Sushi have had three naked sushi parties in all. Restaurant owner Nathan Lieberman said that naked sushi was the brainchild of Chef Glenn Lopez, who works in the kitchen. Lieberman figured the Japanese have been dining off naked bodies for "thousands of years" and wanted to give his patrons "the royal treatment" for Miami Spice, the city's restaurant month, he said. Initially, Lieberman said he was going to hire models from a modelling agency, but his servers begged him for the job. "I have a very good-looking staff," ABC News quoted him as saying. "They said, 'We want the money, and we like to be naked'," he said. When a bachelorette party requested a male model, they used one of their sushi chefs, "a real stud," Lieberman said. The pre-booked naked sushi event serves about 10 people and includes sake and the occasional conversation tidbit from the person under the sushi. 
According to that code, employees need to wash their hands and should minimize bare skin contact with food when it is not in ready-to-eat form. Liberman said the servers scrub the model beforehand as if they're "surgeons." They then cover the model's private parts with banana leaves before strategically placing nigiri on her stomach and sushi rolls on plates that bridge over her legs. "Sashimi is usually around the breast area because it sits nicely," he said. Kung Fu's most recent restaurant inspection occurred in May and included seven critical violations - one of them being a lack of soap for hand-washing.
