Salman Khan - Guess who is the real one?

This Tuesday, Salman Khan at Madame Tussaud’s museum, unveiled his wax statue before hundreds of adoring fans. Salman’s muscular statue, dressed in a black sleevless T-shirt and black denims, donated by the star, stands in a special Bollywood section alongside those of three other Mumbai greats - Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan.

“I am really very touched that my fans have chosen me to appear in Madame Tussauds, and hope that the figure brings a lot of enjoyment to Bollywood followers the world over,” Salman said.

Salman Khan won the public poll for the staute beating nine other Indian mega stars - including Madhuri Dixit, Hrithik Roshan, Lata Mangeshkar and Abhishek Bachchan.

Kangana Ranaut with her first endorsement

Finally, Kangana Ranaut has bagged her first endorsement project, and that too opposite none other than Salman Khan. Kangana has been chosen by a leading international shoes company Red Tape to endorse their brand of footwear which had been endorsed by Salman Khan so far.

Until now Red Tape manufactured footwear only for men with Salman as their ambassador. Now, the company is launching its female lineup with Kangana, who has already shot spots for hoardings and magazines and will soon be doing a TV ad with Salman Khan for the brand.

Apparently Red Tape has paid Kangana a whopping figure and has promised to enhance the amount by thirty percent in the next financial year. On being questioned about the reason for she being chosen for the brand, Kangana explains, “It was my my casual looks, I guess. The brand isn’t associated with formal shoes. Only sporty footwear, sneakers etc. They want me to endorse their shoes in my jeans and with my curly hair.”

Kangana is very excited about working with Salman, “It’s a good thought. I’m excited about the ad with Salman. I’ve always been his fan. I think he’s the only rock star in our cinema. I had watched him dance at an awards function and thought I’d be paired with him one day. It’s happening sooner than I thought.”

John Bipasha may get engaged in Jan!

If reports from the tinsel town are supposed to be believed, actor John Abraham may soon tie the knot with long time girlfriend Bipasha Basu.

These Bollywood biggies have been dating since 2002 and are reportedly planning to get engaged by the beginning of January 2008.

According to sources Both are very close to their families. Recently, their parents met and discussed about solemnizing their relationship by exchanging rings.

Kareena to launch her own clothing line

Film stars have always done more than just make movies.

They've endorsed brands, launched their own perfumes, run their own restaurants, joined politics, and lots more.

Now, it's the turn of Kareena Kapoor to do more than steal the year's acting honours with her turn in Jab We Met, which everyone is tipping to sweep all awards going.

The actress has launched her own clothing line, the second Bollywood star to do so after John Abraham.

Kareena has always been so trendy, we can't help but wonder what took her so long!

Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu will stop batting their eyelashes and do something worthy in the acting department

Sure, both Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu may have enjoyed a good run at the box office this year, but little credit can go to them. Katrina simply mooches off of big stars like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan to ensure box office successes. Out of five films this year, we only really saw her act in Namastey London. Bipasha Basu on the other hand had quite a boring year with a miniscule role in Goal and a bizarre item number in No Smoking. We've seen Bipasha do it in Corporate and we know Katrina has it in her. The problem is…will we ever get to see the talent a real actress is supposed to have?

Akshay v/s Khans battle heats up

Apart from Shah Rukh, Akshay Kumar is now the only other male Bollywood star to have a guaranteed overseas box office following. His releases like 'Namastey London', 'Heyy Babyy', 'Bhool Bhulaiya' and 'Welcome' have all made it to the UK Top 10.

Says trade analyst Taran Adarsh, "Akshay is certainly hot property in the overseas market today. His films have done extremely well both in India and abroad and box-office collections clearly prove that in the overseas market he's one force to reckon with apart from Shah Rukh."

A film distributor reveals, "SRK has so far been the untouched king in the overseas market. But Akki's popularity abroad is soaring. His films are being lapped up by overseas distributors with ever-rising prices. Even his films like Dosti (No. 5 in UK charts) that have not done well here, have seen several houseful weeks abroad. So, that way he's a super hit hero and has been consistent in giving hits."

Deepika Padukone fails to impress the Roshans

Things seemed starry for the newcomer Deepika Padukone when she was chosen for Hrithik Roshan’s next after a dizzing success of her debut ‘OSO’.

However, the film which is based on Latin dance, requires the leading lady to be skilled in Salsa. Where Hrithik’s dancing skills need no mention, Deepika failed to impress the Roshans on the dance floor. So, Deepika was opted out of this movie which will be directed by Anurag Basu.

To cheer up the lady, Rakesh Roshan has promised her that she would soon be signing their next production. How very kind of Mr. Roshan, right!
