MUMBAI: Singer Adnan Sami says his wife Sabah filing a police complaint against him for abuse is the “most humiliating moment” of his life and rubbishes her allegations as he is “incapable of any violence”.
“All I can say is this has been the most humiliating moment of my life. I know I’m being accused of violence. But the truth is I’m incapable of any violence. The cops were more amused than intimidating,” Adnan said.

Love her or hate her but you can’t ignore her. That’s Mallika Sherawat for you. Recently, we heard (one more) interesting bit of hush-hush news about one of Mallika’s films. After doing bold roles in Khwaish and Murder, the actress was all set to play a seductress in Forbidden.

He’s the archetypal Mr Under-Appreciated by now. For Adam Sandler has never really digressed from his first few roles of the affable underdog that made him a household name, some years ago. And like all 70 mm underdogs, Sandler too is a topdog in disguise. It doesn’t take long for our bumbling hero to walk away with the Ferrari and the fair maiden, just like all those perfect Prince Charmings in the fairy tales. So how can it be any different with Bedtime Stories, where Sandler is actually supposed to …

Pleased with the success of Ghajini, the makers of the film have found a unique way to share it with the fans — they can now take Aamir Khan in his muscled Ghajini look home.
Well, not the real Aamir, but his figurine that is. An insider informs, “It was producer Madhu Mantena’s idea to make the Aamir Khan-Ghajini look into a collector’s item.” It’s common knowledge that Aamir had worked out for over a year to acquire his hulk-like physique.
A source close to Aamir confirmed, “Great pains have been taken …

The grass is always greener on the other side thus goes an age-old adage. It seems to be true even in the Hindi film industry. Most actors who are stuck with a particular image feel the other person is better off. While item girls die to do a girl-next-door role thinking that it is the best way to announce their arrival as an actress, there are many who are tired of playing the girl-next-door and want to shed that image and play a glamorous role. Amrita Rao falls in the …

London (IANS): Oscar-frontrunner “Slumdog Millionaire” is probably being targeted by an organised tinsel-town smear campaign with an eye on gate receipts, British and US newspapers say.
“Could an organised smear campaign be about to derail the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’?” The Independent said on Saturday after the film’s makers were hit by a barrage of negative publicity this week.
