You know, so many interesting things come out of Megan Fox’s mouth, it’s easy to forget that the other end of her can be pretty thought-provoking too.

Big B to promote Kerala tourism

Amitabh Bachchan has accepted Kerala’s request to become the state’s brand ambassador to promote tourism, state Tourism Minister, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said Thursday.

I have asked the tourism director to have a discussion to this effect," said Balakrishnan.

" I tried to get in touch with him, but I was told he was out of station. The government is willing to go ahead with him and the final decision to this effect will be made after knowing all the conditions he puts forward," said

Priyanka Chopra banned from using Twitter

Priyanka Chopra’s Twitter obsession has been curbed. And it’s all owing to her latest film producer Sajid Nadiadwala who has banned the actress from posting any kind of information on the social networking site.

So while most filmmakers are still looking for ways to approach their actors on the issue, Nadiadwala has taken stringent steps to assure that no member of the cast or the crew will leak any kind of details about his project ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ on any networking site.

The producer took the strict decision after he saw a constant inflow of pictures and information being put up on the said site. And with his both lead actors Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor being active users of the site, Sajid had little choice but to impose his will.

Confirming the news, Sajid told a daily, “I actually took the decision to forbid my cast and crew from putting any information on websites after an incident that happened with Sajid Khan, my director of ‘Housefull’. We were doing a photo-session with the film’s stars. We weren’t even finished and Sajid Khan had already put one of the pictures on the site. I was horrified. That’s when I decided it was time to make the confidentiality clause a legal issue in all my contracts.”

Regretting the lack of privacy among stars, Sajid further added, “I remember when my father produced JP Dutta’s Ghulami, we’d stand outside Dharmendra’s van for hours waiting for him to emerge so we could see what he wore, how he styled his hair, what watch he had on, etc. Today the stars volunteer all this information on the social networks even before the director takes his first shot. I think all of us need to make confidentiality compulsory for every film."

Well, looks like Piggy Chops will have all work and no play on this one!

Vivek gets kissing tonsils

The serial kisser of Prince is finally paying the price for his overactive mouth.

His throat, possibly exhausted from all the action, is sending out alarm signals as he has developed a strong case of ‘kissing tonsils’. That means that his tonsils are swollen and are overlapping. Tonsils, er, touching each other should not be encouraged, according to the doctors.

Vivek has been running around for the promotion of his next release, Prince. The actor has back-to-back interviews and is having a tough time talking. A source close to the actor reveals, “Vivek was experiencing some pain in his throat since Wednesday, but didn’t pay much attention to it. His condition grew worse on Thursday. Apart from the pain, the tonsils are swollen, and he developed high temperature.”

The source continues, “Luckily, he had not committed to anyone for interviews today. He just had one meeting which got pushed. The actor has been sleeping all day long. He has fever, and the doctor who visited him at home, has asked him to take strict bed rest.”

“Today (Friday) Vivek will be performing at a stage show. Although he is unwell, but he is doing it since he has committed to them,” adds the source.

Vivek’s official spokesperson confirms the news and says, “Vivek is currently sleeping and can’t talk much because of the pain.”

No jhatka-matkas, I've signed two challenging films

She is best remembered as the 'mast mast' girl for her sensual moves, but Raveena Tandon, now a mother of two, says she has left her "jhatka-matkas" behind and has signed two "tough and challenging" films.

"I really don't think I will do the dancing type of movies with 'jhatka-matkas' any more. Every actor goes through a phase and so did I. At that time, there were these dances that I used to be known for. But I've grown out of it. I like doing unconventional, serious and message-based cinema now," Raveena told in an interview.

The 35-year-old, who was in the capital as a celebrity guest for the Good Housekeeping Show 2010, was earlier seen in a slew of commercial potboilers like "Mohra" and "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi". But later she chose to work in more serious cinema like "Shool", "Daman" and "Satta".

Raveena, who is married to film distributor Anil Thadani, took a break from movies to bring up her children. But she did appear as a judge on two reality shows.

The actress, who was last seen in "Sandwich" in 2006, has now signed two off-beat films.

"I have signed two very tough and challenging films. One is based in Rajasthan - that's a very strong, female-oriented film. The other is a bilingual made in Bengali and Hindi. It's by a Kolkata-based production company and is being directed by Raja Sen, who has won multiple National Awards," Raveena said.

The script of the bilingual movie "The Laboratory" is based on a story written by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, she said.

"This is a story about a Sikh woman who gets married to a Bengali scientist, who dies soon. Then how, being an uneducated person, she educates herself and brings that whole laboratory of his husband back to life and fights culture differences is what makes the story. I, of course, play the Punjabi woman," Raveena said.

In the Rajasthan-based untitled film too, the actress is playing an inspirational role.

Without divulging much, she said: "This movie is about a woman's fight against an age-old tradition that has been there in Rajasthan since years and which truly prevails till date in some of the backward areas there. The story is about how she fights the social evil."

So are power women finally catching up in Bollywood?

"Yes. In fact, power women on screen have been happening for some time now. At times there are glamorous roles that you want to be associated with and there are times when you want to be part of strong films like 'Shool' and 'Satta' (that) are equally important," she said.

Spotlight: Sex Worker Bhuwaneshwari To Vamp Ranjita

The glitz and glamour of the film industry always attracts thousands of aspiring individuals but beneath that screen and the lens, lies a dark world of lust, deceit and a rather hard hitting reality that many don’t realize till they get in. Welcome to the show business and lately, with the development in technology and the intruding presence of the electronic media, more insights into the flip side of the entertainment circuit is getting exposed. It is an open secret that sex sells in the film industry and there are many anonymous sources who vouch that it is part of the industry norm to grow.

Sometimes, this indulgence leads to a new profession and that is prostitution and escort services. Right now, that seems to be the case with ladies like Bhuwaneshwari and Ranjita. Ironically, there is a lot of hue and cry over such incidents for a day or two and with the TV channels repeating the same scene for 24 to 48 hours, the visuals come as dreams in the night as well.

But the third day, they latch onto something more ‘sensational’ and this is history. In no time, life gets back to normal, people forget and those who caused so much breaking news are onto the tracks of normal life. The classic example for that is Bhuwaneshwari who was meant to stir the hornet’s nest in Kollywood but now, she is out and will also be seen in the new movie ‘Ranga the Donga’ which has family star Srikanth in it.

Many are now saying that though she is not to be seen around, even Ranjita will lie low for a while and in no time, she will resurface and continue with her life as usual. The essence of this is that life has become too casual to commit some really heinous things and elements such as conscience and ethics are nowhere near. It is just a cycle of life that one gets into a scam, makes the most of publicity, gets silent, then resurfaces. And the best part, such things happen in our India only.

Disciple shot sting to ‘unmask’ Nityanand

It is one gurudakshina Swami Paramahamsa Nityanand might remember for life. The godman’s former disciple, Nitya Dharmananda alias Lenin Karuppan, has claimed he filmed Nityanand’s sexcapades “ to unmask the man masquerading as a spiritual leader”. The videos showed Nityanand in compromising positions with actress Ranjitha. According to Dharmananda, she served as Nityanand’s personal attendant during her frequent, dayslong visits to his ashram.

The former disciple is said to have told the police more about the godman’s ‘ sexcapades’ and other murky happenings at his ashram. “ He had intimate relationships with many other heroines too,” Dharmananda said.

He added that his suspicions about the godman’s activities were aroused with the death of a devotee from Canada at the ashram. They were deepened when another devotee attempted suicide.

Dharmananda is also said to have handed over to the police two CDs believed to contain Nityanand’s dalliance with other tinseltown beauties.

The former Nityanand disciple said he had joined the godman’s staff as a driver. He went on to become Nityanand’s trusted lieutenant and settled down in the Bangalore ashram in 2006. He had free access to the godman’s private rooms and he said he made the tapes December last.

“ Sensing I had done a sting operation, Nityanand and ashram functionaries threatened me on February 18 during a visit to Salem. I escaped,” Dharmananda said. He has sought police protection.

However, Dharmananda’s claims have raised doubts about the motive behind the release of the sleaze tapes.

In the meantime, Nityanand has said the videos were “ morphed” and that it was “ a conspiracy to defame” him. In an appeal through his website, he has urged his followers not to be carried away by the tapes.

Rajinikanth’s much awaited film ‘Endhiran’ seems to be taking both Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh by storm. Rajinikanth got huge fan followinging in AP and consider his films as equal as Tollywood big star movie.

Trade Talk: Better Than Before

As the political turmoil in Andhra Pradesh has come to stand still, people are walking towards theatres for some virtual entertainment.

A few good movies have come to screen leaving a gentle breeze with hopeful 2010. One is Leader of Daggubati Rana and the other 'Ye Maya Chesave' with Naga Chaitanya.

Ye Maya Chesave has bagged the talk of classic love story and also bagging huge collections from all corners. And Leader did well and got good response in A centers. Next comes, Inkosaari starring Raja and Manjari Phadnis, in which Vennela Kishore rocked with beautiful comedy. But lack of promotion damaged the movie. Nikhil's Kalavar King and Naresh's Rambabu Gadi Pellam are not doing well.

Heroine Attempts Suicide?

Ever since the Nityananda sex video has been leaked, a rather shocking facet of the noted heroine Ranjitha came into light. Now, even more shocking is the buzz from Tamilnadu that Ranjitha has actually attempted suicide. Apparently, this dusky babe is said to be a divorcee.

But then, on the other hand, there are those who say that Ranjitha is the more blackmailing types and even this video was made with the intention of blackmailing the Swami. However, the plan misfired and it somehow went into the hands of the media and that has collapsed the whole sketch.

The tensions are high in the Telugu cine circuit amongst the directors and those associated to Ranjitha. She was seen in the movie ‘Maavichiguru’ as the second heroine and Sriramulayya etc. For now, the suicide news just looks like a made up story by Tamil sources.

Katrina joins bathing beauties!

Katrina certainly has reason to celebrate. She joins an illustrious list men and women who have promoted Lux in India and abroad. Lux soap, which began life in the UK in 1899 as a flaked version of Sunlight soap, made its debut in India in 1929.

As the final payment of that movie, Mohanbabu has issued a cheque worth Rs40 lakhs to YVS Chaoudary as part of director’s remuneration- But the cheque was dishonored in the bank on the reasons of insufficient funds.YVS has written a letter to Mohanbabu asking him to settle his amount Rs40 lakhs. But Mohanbabu ignored YVS’s letter. Then YVS went to Director’s association and complained on Mohanbabu. Director’s association has passed that complaint to Producer’s council.

However Mohan Babu has a different version to offer. The film’s initial budget was initially fixed at less than 10 crores. But YVS Chowdary has increased the budget to more than 25 crores even though the film can easily be made with budget less than 10 crores.
