Bollywood beauties getting down to business

Some of the top Bollywood beauties are planning another career, donning the producer’s cap. Now they won’t be just talking about the stories, scripts, roles and characters, but they will also talk money!

Katrina Kaif, who has been marked as a wise businesswoman, with the right moves in the field of endorsements, was planning to go for a coffee shop sometime ago. She will now step into movie production. "Though nothing is concrete yet, but the thought of producing a film left a strong impact on me and I am willing to create opportunities for myself.” It is said that she's planning to remake a French film. “It is just a thought and I would be able to comment on it once everything gets finalised," she added.

Shilpa Shetty’s production ‘ The Man’ had taken a backseat during the IPL, it is back to action now. “I think I am one of the first actress to have her own production house.” Says Shilpa proudly. “Though Sushmita [Sen] has started with one too, mine will go on floor much earlier," said an optimistic Shilpa who is learning the do’s and don’ts from beau Raj Kundra. "Raj is helping me understand the nitty gritties of film production.”

After making Yanni sing for her, Mallika goes all out for making her dreams come true in the field of production, with technicians of international standard. Rumours say that Mallika has named her production house ‘Blue Velvet’ and her brother Vikram is taking care of it at present.

The perfect match of beauty and talent, Tabu, is also producing Telugu movies in collaboration with UTV Motion Pictures back in Hyderabad.

Ileana to pairup with Simbu? | Cutest Ileana Photo Gallery

After a forgettable role in the average grosser KD, Ileana went back to her home turf Tollywood to try and test familiar waters. Tried she did and emerged the reigning queen of Telugu cinema posing stiff competition to the likes of Trishas, Nayantaras and Anoushkas.

While interim efforts to bring her to Tamil yielded no results, Nic Arts Chakravarthy is throwing the bait again for the Silambarasan written-directed Valiban. It is not known whether she has agreed consent, but we also heard that Anushka and Sneha Ullal are also contenders for the same role.

Emma Watson to Star in Marilyn Manson's Goth Rock 'Cinderella'

Emma Watson, the only Harry Potter star who hasn't appeared in any other movies, says she's ready to be done with the series. But her next project promises to be even more bizarrely magical. According to the Sun, Watson has accepted a role in Marilyn Manson's musical goth rock take on the classic fairytale Cinderella, which in a few years is sure to be found in a DVD 2-pack along with Repo! The Genetic Opera. From the Sun: The pretty teen has been handed a part in a Goth-inspired reworking of glass slipper fairytale Cinderella. She will play a princess in the as yet untitled film being masterminded by the singer. Emma is the only Potter star not to have appeared in other films. Of course there's the risk that teaming up with a drug-guzzling freak who admits to fantasizing about murdering his ex-girlfriend could cause some problems for the squeaky clean young actress. We can only hope she doesn't go the way of Elizabeth Berkley, who was so eager to kill her image as the bookish Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell that she ran around topless for 2 hours in the unintentionally hilarious Showgirls.

Harry Potter' Star Emma Watson On 'Awkward' Kiss With Rupert Grint

'We were like giggling children where you just couldn't keep it together,' actress says of filming kissing scenes.

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" star Emma Watson has appeared in six films based on J.K. Rowling's book series, but she's never been kissed — at least not onscreen. But all that changed recently when the 19-year-old and co-star Rupert Grint began filming the two-part franchise finale, "Deathly Hallows."

"I was like, 'Do I use tongue?' " she laughed during a recent interview with MTV News. " 'Do I not use tongue? Do I cover my teeth? What do I do? Do I go first? Oh my God!' "

With all these questions swirling in her head, she ended up nearly attacking Grint, who plays Ron Weasley. "I ended up pouncing on Rupert," Watson confessed. "I was so desperate to get it over. After the first take he was like, 'Whoa, there! Where did that come from?' I was like, 'Sorry!' "

"It took me by surprise," Grint admitted.

Grint has had a lot more on-camera smooching experience than Watson. He spends a good portion of "Half-Blood Prince" snogging with classmate Lavender Brown (Jessie Cave) and completely oblivious to the amorous feeling of Watson's Hermione Granger. Kissing Lavender, kissing Hermione — it's all pretty uncomfortable for Grint.

"Kissing [on camera] is always quite embarrassing, because you've got a whole crew of people watching you and it just feels really self-conscious and you don't really know what to do with yourself," he said.

Add in the fact that Watson and Grint have known each other since their pre-teen years, and the kissing scene reached new levels of weirdness. But at least it was a shared weirdness. "The only good side to it was the fact that we were both in the same boat," said Watson. "We were both just like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe we have to do this. This is so awkward. Really awkward.' So I could take comfort in the fact that Rupert felt the same way. We were both giggling. We were like 12-year-olds. We were like giggling children where you just couldn't keep it together."

Yet even more difficult than the actual kiss was the moment after director David Yates yelled "Cut!" "The hardest part was having done the kiss and having to put it away and having a moment of looking at each other," Grint said.

And did Watson think she did well for her first time? "I have no idea if I did it right!" she laughed.

Speaking exclusively ahead of the July 15 release of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, she told Elle Magazine: "I need to go away and figure out what I want to do.

"I just want to take a step back and not rush into stuff. I need university to give me that break.

"Maybe I'll keep acting, maybe I won't."

One thing's for sure, you'll never lose the magic, Em.

'I don't want to be sexy, I'm grungy and weird': Peaches Geldof strikes her own blow for the feminist cause

Peaches Geldof's daily fashion choices are preserved for posterity by the paparazzi, analysed by fashion experts and copied by countless teenagers.

But the 20-year-old says she doesn't try to 'look sexy' when she picks her clothes - and even tries to be 'anti-beauty'.

But despite her comments Peaches must be hoping that her 'weird' style appeals to others - her first clothing line for the label PPQ went on sale today.

Anti-beauty: Peaches Geldof out in London on Friday; the socialite says she doesn't dress for men

'It's obvious I'm not dressing for men,' she said. 'I don't want to be sexy. I'm like covered in tattoos. I have piercings.

'I'm just grungy and weird and not what is socially accepted as beautiful, and I think that's cool.'


Peaches, whose late mother Paula Yates was known for her overly sexy style, says she sees her stance as a 'feminist issue'.

However, those comments sit very uncomfortably with some of her raunchier poses for the Ultimo underwear for young people, which sold out following her campaign.

Not trying to be sexy: Peaches, seen in a modelling shot, says she's 'covered in tattoos and piercings'

Working hard: Peaches on promotional shoots

In an interview with the Times, she reveals that she admires: 'The women who were championing things that were different.

'I loved Winona Ryder in her Beetle Juice and Heathers era and even when I saw Angelina Jolie on the red carpet, like, years before that Hollywood makeover and everyone was so weirded out because she had long, weird nails and a long, weird dress on.

'And that's what I think is amazing. Anti-beauty. I don't want to dress for men, I think it's almost like a feminist thing.'

Unique style: With sister Pixie at the Bruno premiere last month

Peaches is thought to currently be single, following her short-lived marriage to American rocker Max Drummey of Chester French.

Over the past 12 months, Peaches has been splitting her time between London and the US, where she writes a fashion column for Nylon magazine.

She has been cast as a murder victim in an independent low-budget slasher film called Cross Country.

Peaches is also writing a book of short stories, working as an underwear model, and as an 'ambassador' for the May Fair hotel.

MICHAEL JACKSON

Gutted. Oh yes. He was soooo an icon of our youth. How many memories came flooding back today spurred on Jackson1 by the fabulous, continuous, play of so many brilliant songs. "Michael Jackson is dead" is the text I woke up to this morning from a fashion friend in Ibiza. "Poor whacko" said another from a fashionista in Paris. And then I remembered that fabulous time waaaay back around 1999 I think it was, when the glitzy-glammy designer Julien Macdonald put a Michael Jackson lookalike front row.




And...the fashion press fell for it, loved it. reported it...and then flipped when they realised too late they had been duped!

And then I thought of fashion and how for this year it is actually VERY Michael Jackson inspired, more than I ever really realised. Take a look at the picture on the right from net-a-porter.com. That Balmain jacket that we've seen on Posh and Rihanna (it's sold out by the way), those black skinny cropped jeans...they are quite MJ aren't they?

And Sequin jackets? Remember them on him?? Invest in one now. They are big for autumn winter. At Debenhams you will be able to snap up a fabulous black sequin boyfriend style jacket £120 Star by Julien Macdonald (oh the irony). Or you can invest in a fabulous gold sequin number at net-a-porter.com from Les Chiffoniers for £400. For something cheaper Dorothy Perkins has a great balck sequin one too.

And what of the heavy duty military inspired look...like this black ridged leather jacket by Celine already sold out at net-a-porter.com. It's all about hardware for autumn/winter. Jacksonceline2

Yes....quite ironically never has fashion been more about Michael Jackson inspired looks than now!

I'm still looking for the perfect white glove, I'm anticipating something from KL Karl Lagerfeld no doubt,....but in the meantime I do remember some Swarovski encrusted cashmere cut-ff gloves from Sienna Miller's Twenty8Twelve autumn/winter debut catwalk collection. They're very MJ. Yes, the icon may have left us but his influence is far far far reaching not just with his music either...

MJ MEMORIES:...

Mine: Two years ago standing outside the First Class lounge at Heathrow when the airport suddenly fell silent, you couldn't hear a pin drop, and there he was, MJ, walking towards the lounge dressed head-to-toe in black, with silver sunnies, and airport staff nudging and calling each other to say 'it's Michale Jackson'. And then 5 minutes later an entourage arrived of nannies and the three children with heads covered, and I remembered thinking how can they see where they are going?

By the way, again, apparently if you want to learn 'How to Moonwalk' there is a lesson you can download off YOUTUBE that shows you how...our Interiors Editor tells me, she is a dab hand at performing the Billy Jean 'dance' at weddings I'm told...

Whilst for our interiors assistant: "Ohhh do you know that film he did I think it's called Thriller and he changed into his car?? That was one of my favourite films as a child.... ohhh that's my MJ memory I used to watch that ever week as a kid...."

Ahhhh now there is another song of his I love on the radio now (Capital FM) and I had forgotten all about it ..."Can You Feel It?"..!

Yes there's something in the air...it's the stuff of great memories...
