Krrish comes to Mumbai?

By Hindustan Times

Mumbai, Feb. 28 -- Good morning potato chips! Usually, Usually, people suffer Monday morning blues; I'm a little different. I go through the Tuesday morning blues! Anyway, that doesn't mean I won't do what I'm best at, sharing Bollywood gossip with you. And even before I can think of digressing, Sher Lock Holmes insists I must share this with you, right away.

Hrithik Roshan, whose Agneepath has created new box office records not just in India but also overseas, has been shooting a slew of action scenes in Hyderabad for Krrish 3 with papa Rakesh Roshan's aashirwaad.

Over the last one month, he has filmed fewer soft and romantic scenes and more maar-dhaad sequences for the sequel of his superhero film.

According to my jasoos from Juhu, he has just about 20 days of work left in Hyderabad, after which he will have a long shooting spell in Mumbai, amidst the raging summer heat. But he's quite kicked about the second schedule because he'll get to be with his biwi Sussanne and bachchas Hrehaan and Hridaan. So, garmi chalegi.

After about a month or so in the city, he will push off with a certain part of the cast and crew to an exotic locale to shoot one or two songs and scenes for his film and wrap it up by the end of July, so that papa and he can start on the post production of the film which will take up more time than it took for the entire film's shooting. Kya baat! Kya baat! Kya baat!

No Warne for Royals!

By Hindustan Times

Mumbai, Feb. 29 -- He coached and captained Rajasthan Royals successfully in the first edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008. But last year, champion leg spinner Shane Warne announced his retirement from professional cricket. Soon after, the Royals stated that they are "looking forward to him assuming a larger role in the team".

But even as the fifth edition of IPL gets set to kick-off in April, team co-owner Raj Kundra says Shane "has had his innings (with Rajasthan Royals)". "He is doing his own thing and is busy with his girlfriend (Liz Hurley)," says Kundra, adding, "Shane was with us for four years, and he has been great. But we need to move on and give Rahul Dravid (new captain) a chance. He is a great idol, and that's why all the kids look up to him." But isn't Rahul seen as a player who doesn't fit the IPL mould?

"Hence we kept him for a year with Shane. We believe he has the potential to captain the team," says Kundra, adding, "Still we had to persuade Rahul to become the captain. but we feel he will deliver. The main reason being he got a chance to experience how Shane worked in an out-of-the-box manner. Plus, he comes with his own mindset. He is a focused cricketer, very disciplined and his training is better than anyone I know in the cricketing world."

At the same time, Kundra accepts that the absence of Pakistani players has hit his team. "It definitely hit us but it's 20-20 cricket and that's entertainment and not pure cricket. So, the team that comes first one year can end up at the last position in the next and vice versa. This year, we have picked up a couple of good Sri Lankan players, and Brad Hodge and S Sreesanth. So, we've got a nice mix," he says.

Madonna in bare essentials on new cover!

By Hindustan Times

Pop queen Madonna looks her seductive best on the cover of her new single, as she poses in a black, barely-there brassiere. The lady like the name of her latest single from her forthcoming studio album MDNA, has gone wild on the cover flaunting her toned stomach. "The barely-there outfit is to be expected of a woman who repeatedly sings about sex in songs like Like A Virgin, Justify My Love and Erotica. The black, triangle-shaped lace bra doesn't hide much, and very nearly leaves the superstar exposed," reports Daily Mail.

"She doesn't cover up in other articles of clothing, either, flaunting most of trim and toned stomach. Her mouth is open in a suggestive pose, and her blonde locks are artfully tousled. Everything about the cover is suggestive, including the title," says the tabloid.

Girls Gone Wild is a video series created by Joe Francis where college-age girls perform various sexual acts on camera.

"Girl Gone Wild is all about the heat of letting loose and dancing, certainly themes that Madge fans will find familiar. Produced by Benny Benassi, the track, though fun and funky, is a bit darker than her first single, which seemed to pay homage to the '80s version of the pop icon in its bright nature," reports MTV.

Tibetans hold protests in Delhi against India-China border talks

Delhi:  About a dozen Tibetans, including women, today staged a protest outside the Hyderabad House objecting to the border talks between India and China claiming that Beijing cannot discuss the issue before giving freedom to Tibet.

Draped in Tibetan flags and carrying anti-China placards, the protesters assembled in front of the Hyderabad House near India Gate in the morning where External Affairs Minister S M Krishna was holding bilateral talks with his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi.

Anticipating protests, a number of police personnel were deployed in the area and they immediately detained the demonstrators who were shouting slogans demanding freedom for Tibet.

"We have detained the protesters, including women. We have taken them to a nearby police station," a senior police official said.

One of the protesters said China cannot discuss the issue before giving freedom to Tibet. "It is ridiculous for China to have talks with India before giving us freedom," he said.
