Bollywood Actress News: Aging Madhuri, Juhi promote healthcare

2012-01-12T23:37:00.000-08:00

Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla might have ruled the celluloid in the 1990s, but these silver screen sirens of yesteryears have been busy promoting health instead of films these days.

They came together for the first time to promote healthcare and not film in the national capital on Wednesday.

The city saw Madhuri's dazzling 1,000 watt smile as she made appearance in a new role as a "chief smile officer" with an oral care product. While the Dhak-Dhak girl was promoting oral care, the chirpy and vivacious Juhi was named ambassador of the thyroid awareness initiative.

The ladies might be promoting health awareness, but they both had reasons to celebrate too. While Madhuri was ecstatic about her soon to be unveiled wax statue at London's famous Madame Tussauds museum, Juhi seemed extremely surprised with her Filmfare Awards nomination for her role as Megha in film I Am Megha.

The two actresses did rule the roost in their prime, but as age catches up health is what they have turned to rather gracefully.

Hollywood Actress News Today: Jennifer Aniston's figure named most desired female body

2012-01-12T23:20:00.000-08:00

Hollywood Actress News: Jennifer Aniston's figure is the most desired female body, according to plastic surgeons.

Aniston, 42, beat model Bar Rafaeli, 26, and singer Shakira, 34, to take the top spot.

Beverly Hills surgeons Richard Fleming and Toby Mayer based their ratings on the basis of the stars that their patients name when they are come for surgery.

"The biggest shift over the past year is that the younger celebrity group is emerging - people like Katy Perry. The celebrity faces are what people refer to as an example because they like the way they look and they refer to these celebrities when they are considering plastic surgery," Fleming told Fox News.

"Another interesting change this year is that the female body choice is smaller in proportion. People don't want an unbalanced body."

Playing pregnant woman was cakewalk for Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan

2012-01-12T01:30:00.000-08:00

If she effortlessly essayed the role of a sex symbol in The Dirty Picutre, it was a cakewalk to play a pregnant woman in search of her husband in Kahaani, says Vidya Balan .

"It was not tough at all. During our college life, we all friends used to do all the nautankis and these stand-up items. And my favourite role would always be of a pregnant woman. So the walk and all came to me very naturally," Vidya, 33, told reporters.

Vidya ruled Bollywood as Silk last year and it seems she wants to take it forward with Kahaani as she is aggressively promoting the movie. If she dressed like her character for the promotion of The Dirty Picture, the actress appeared with a baby bump at the Kahaani promotional event.

Kahaani, scheduled to release March 9, is not the first film to feature her as a mother in Paa and Heyy Babyy too she had played a mom.

Besides her hard work, Vidya can't stop praising director Sujoy Ghosh's efforts and said: "He is very energetic. We managed to shoot continuously for 64 days without any break. Sujoy would not let the mood drop."

Vidya, who started her career with Pradeep Sarkar and went on to work with acclaimed directors like Priyadarshan, R. Balakrishnan and Abhishek Chaubey, hasn't got an opportunity to repeat her directors.

When asked about this, she said: "I don't make any rules. I would be happy to work with the directors with whom I have already worked. Few times it didn't work out. May be in future I will work with them. I am very greedy."

Her recent was with director Milan Luthria - they teamed up for The Dirty Picture and the film became a super-duper hit.

Hollywood Actress News:Angelina Jolie's Mysterious New Tattoo

2011-04-06T21:42:00.000-07:00

Angelina Jolie's intriguing new tattoo is overshadowing her humanitarian mission to a refugee camp on the Libyan border of Tunisia.

The tattoo on her upper left arm -- an ongoing work in progress -- is a list of the map coordinates for where her six children were born; in a mysterious new twist, the 35-year-old Earth Mother unveiled a seventh line of ink while visiting refugees this week, causing a stir among Jolie watchers: Is she planning a seventh addition to the patchwork Brangelina brood?

The coordinate list has been updated to reflect each new addition to the Jolie-Pitt family. In 2007, Jolie debuted her first batch of mapping numerals: the coordinates for the birthplaces of their first four children. Starting from the top down, the longitudinal and latitudinal numbers represent the birth locations for: Maddox, 9 (Cambodia); Zahara, 6 (Ethiopia); Shiloh, 4 (Namibia); Pax, 7 (Vietnam). Jolie revealed two more inky coordinates -- for now-two-year-old Knox and Vivienne, born in France -- in October 2008.

This latest line, the seventh, remains a mystery. Wonderwall points out that the first number on the bottom line is 35 (it's difficult from the photo to make out the full sequence), which could indicate such disparate locales as Algeria or Brad Pitt's birthplace in Oklahoma. (The coordinates for Shawnee, Oklahoma, where Brad was born, are3520'33"N 9656'2"W.)

What does it all mean? There are a handful of potential scenarios: Jolie wanted to pay tribute to Pitt (romantic). Or they secretly adopted a baby, a la Sandra Bullock (stealthy!). Or maybe the actress and tabloid fixture sought to grab more attention for her United Nations work by tacking on cryptic coordinates (strategic!).
(Of note: In February, Jolie denied rumors she intended to adopt a Haitian girl.)
Whatever the case, the numbers mean something. Jolie, a star in full control of her image, rarely does anything without considering the public ramifications.

Hollywood Actress News : Julie Benz Sad Jack Nicholson Didn't Hit on Her

2010-11-12T22:30:00.000-08:00

It is no secret that Jack Nicholson is quite the ladies man, but it turns out one lady who didn’t stimulate his flirt factor was “Dexter” hottie Julie Benz, and it gave her quite a complex.

“I worked with Jack Nicholson a long time ago on 'As Good as it Gets' and he didn't hit on me, and he's notorious for hitting on every lady in Hollywood, and he didn't hit on me,” Benz told Pop Tarts at TV Guide’s Hot List party in Los Angeles. “And I'm like, 'What's wrong with me!?' I was disappointed.”

And unlike many women in Hollywood who have a wealth of “casting couch” stories surrounding inappropriate agents/producers/directors attempting to have them do inappropriate things in the name of getting that “big break,” nobody put the hard word on Benz.

“I've never ever ever and I'm disappointed! I'm like, 'Why hasn't anyone ever asked me? What's wrong with me?!'" she laughed. “I was young when I started acting, and I've always had very good people representing me and taking care of me, so I've never had those run ins! Now I think I'm passed that age of having it happen. No one ever wanted sexual favors from me, makes me think there's something wrong with me.”
But judging by the 38-year-old’s sleek and chic appearance these days, somehow we think she need not be too concerned with male attention.

World actress News: salt movie Trailer and reviews (Angelina Jolie)

2010-07-17T05:05:00.000-07:00

A review of Salt by Rolling Stone's Peter Travers won't appear until next week, but it's quite positive (apart from carpings about credibility). Reviews from Variety, Hollywood Reporter and Indiewire's Todd McCarthy will probably hit today or certainly by tomorrow.

"Starring slinky-sexy-scary Angelina Jolie as a CIA agent accused of going over to the Russians, Salt is primed to keep your pulse racing so your brain will stop thinking, 'WTF!' Go with the illogic or you'll miss the fun. Salt has the action to slam you hard, batter your senses and make a case for Jolie as a superpower with the figurative balls to take on the U.S., Russia and North Korea, and still provide crap to pussy critics who don't like their credulity strained.

"Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a spy introduced as she's being released from a North Korean prison after a bout of water torture that would turn strong men to secret-spilling jelly. A guy was almost cast in the role, but Tom Cruise passed, claiming Salt was cut from the pattern of Mission: Impossible.

"Enter Jolie, and something equally advantageous for the movie: timeliness. Sleeper spies are making major headlines, what with the FBI rounding up 10 members of a Russian spy ring suspected of living among us for more than a decade. And who can forget bombshell mole Anna Chapman, a.k.a. Anya Kushchenko, a centerfold-ready redhead working the Manhattan party circuit while passing info to the Russians. The Cold War is back, baby, and Salt is riding the wave.

"Never mind that the screenplay by Kurt Wimmer (Law Abiding Citizen) flies off into fantasies that would shame Jolie's Lara Croft and Wanted.

Salt benefits from the technical mastery and playful deviltry of Phillip Noyce, the Aussie director who showed his artful side with Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Quiet American. With Salt, Noyce tears it up with the verve he brought to a duo of Tom Clancy adaptations, 1992's Patriot Games and 1994's Clear and Present Danger. Noyce, a skilled architect of action, can stage a stunt with the best of them.

"And Jolie is up for the challenge. She scales buildings barefoot, jumps from bridges onto moving vehicles, and blows up buildings in New York and D.C. Eat your heart out, Matt Damon. Salt is Jason Bourne without amnesia.

Bollywood Actress: "Sameera Reddy" cheers for KKR

Sameera also turned out to be KKR’s “lucky mascot”, when they won a hard fought battle against Delhi Daredevils by 14 runs. Sam was the cynosure of all eyes and was repeatedly shown on television.

World Actress News: Jennifer Coolidge coming to Springfield comedy club

2010-04-07T21:58:00.000-07:00

Life changed for actress Jennifer Coolidge, who performs four shows this weekend at Donnie B’s Comedy Club, when she connected the Groundlings, the legendary Los Angeles improv-comedy troupe.

“The minute I started with the Groundlings, the seas parted and so many cool things happened,” Coolidge said Monday in a phone interview.

That included her first television appearance, on “Seinfeld,” playing a masseuse who refused to give on-screen boyfriend Jerry Seinfeld a massage. Then there was “SheTV” and, eventually, the teen sex comedy “American Pie” (more on that later).

“I think I would still be waitressing today if it hadn’t been for the Groundlings,” Coolidge said.

Instead, she’s had what appears to be a steady career as an actor on television and in movies. Now she’s taking an act on the road.

Coolidge said she began performing at stand-up comedy clubs relatively recently, in Provincetown, Mass. At first, she was just reading from a notebook, but since then her show has evolved into something between a traditional standup act and a one-woman show.

“It’s my commentary on living in Los Angeles — and my disappointment with it lately, with all the weird ‘reality’ world that’s happening” Coolidge said.
She also talks about sex, the odd experience of dating after having been attached for a long time, and some of the stranger auditions she’s had since the economy tanked.

“It’s all really story format — it’s not line, laugh, line, laugh — more the Kathy Griffin style,” Coolidge said.

She and Griffin were in the Groundlings together in the 1990s.

“I happened to be there at a really great time: it was Lisa Kudrow, Kathy Griffin, Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, myself, Cheri Oteri, Ana Gasteyer, Will Forte — some really good people,” Coolidge said.

That reads like a who’s-who of “Saturday Night Live” alumni. But comedy was not the first career choice of the 48-year-old actress.

Brilliant crying
“I tried to be a dramatic actress for a very long time,” Coolidge said. “It just wasn’t working out.”

She was in an acting class and doing imitations of some of her more overwrought peers — “there was one girl in the class that, no matter what scene it was, she would cry. … And then our acting teacher would applaud her and tell her that her crying was so brilliant,” Coolidge said, the contempt evident in her tone of voice.
One of her classmates suggested she try improvisational comedy, so Coolidge first joined the Gotham City Improv before moving to L.A. to take up with the Groundlings.
“American Pie,” released in 1999, was arguably Coolidge’s biggest break. She’s still identified with the character known as “Stifler’s Mom” — a boozy, attractive, middle-aged woman who found mutual attraction with the movie’s high-school-aged protagonists.

The character was a harbinger of today’s “cougar” phenomenon — middle-aged women taking up with younger men in movies (“The Proposal”), on TV (ABC’s “Cougar Town”) and in real life (Hollywood couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher).

But Coolidge has done a lot since first playing “Stiffler’s Mom” more than 10 years ago.

She’s acted in the Christopher Guest comedies “Best in Show,” “A Mighty Wind” and “For Your Consideration”; had a supporting role in “Legally Blonde” and its sequel; and had guest roles on the TV programs “Sex in the City,” “Nip/Tuck” and “Friends.” She also had a regular spot on the “Friends” spin-off “Joey.”

Escape from L.A.
In the past few months, Coolidge has become a regular on “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and appeared alongside Nicolas Cage in the film “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans.”

“I loved doing that — that was a really cool job,” Coolidge said, adding that Cage is one of her favorite actors.

Coolidge said the last couple of years have been among the most interesting of her career, letting her do the kind of work she hadn’t previously been able to pursue.
“When you live in L.A. and it really is almost a beautiful day every day, and you get on a show or you get into a routine, sometimes it really does seem like you’re living the same day over and over,” Coolidge said.

“This stand-up thing is so different for me: traveling around the country, going to these states I’ve never seen, staying in these hotels and interacting with people I would never get to hang out with. When you live in L.A., you have an isolated life — all I meet are actors and directors and people in the movie business or TV business.
“In other cities, you have to remember it isn’t about the film business,” Coolidge said.

“I’m meeting everybody, and it’s really cool. I have to say, I didn’t know it would be this cool.”

World Actress News: “Ginnifer Goodwin” The Good Girl Goes Bad

2010-04-07T21:50:00.001-07:00

Tarlet and Los Angeles social fixture Ginnifer Goodwin be a New York girl for now. Over the next three months, the actress and ballet fanatic is filming the romantic comedy “Something Borrowed” about Manhattan and the Hamptons.

On Tuesday night, Goodwin made what was likely one of many future party appearances when she cohosted a celebration for Vionnet at Saks Fifth Avenue with Ron Frasch, Matteo Marzotto and Virginia Smith. “I would be very happy to be their international spokesman,” Goodwin said of the brand, which custom made her vegan over-the-knee boots.

Combined with her cutout velvet dress, the overall effect was pretty spicy. Which may be appropriate considering her character in “Something Borrowed” is a woman who, as Goodwin puts it, “is schtupping her best friend’s fiancé.” Kate Hudson plays said best friend, and John Krasinski stars as Goodwin’s confidante.

WWD got the first dish on the flick.

WWD: Tell me about your character, Rachel.
Ginnifer Goodwin: She’s a consummate good girl who has always defined herself by the things she would and wouldn’t do, and she finds herself doing something that’s always been on the “I do not do this” list. She’s trying to come to terms with that and decide if she follows her heart at the risk of ruining a 30-year friendship.

WWD: So what about her appealed to you?
G.G.: Well, I am fascinated that the author of the book [Emily Giffin, who wrote the novel on which the film is based] was able to make me root for this woman doing something that is so off of my own moral compass.

WWD: Did you try to imagine what you would go through, were you in the same situation?
G.G.: Yes, well, I relate to it only in that I certainly have made decisions in my adult life that I never thought I would make — in good ways and in terrible ways. I’ve certainly gone through periods where I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror because I was so ashamed of some of the decisions I was making. In that way, I was very eager to explore a character like this, who ultimately decides she will be a happier, healthier person if she continues along this path.

WWD: I would imagine most reporters will be asking you if you’ve ever screwed over your best friend.
G.G.: Oh, surely that is going to be our entire press junket. But I have to say I’m a consummate good girl.

WWD: Had you read the book before you got the part?
G.G.: I read and fell in love with the script. I have to preface this by saying, disclaimer, I’m not even a chick lit reader. I’m a high school reading list fan. I want my Jane Austen, my Charles Dickens and Harry Potter. I do read my fair share of “Harry Potter.”

WWD: What are you reading now?
G.G.: I just finished [the incredibly popular young adult fantasy trilogy] “The Hunger Games” and [the sequel] “Catching Fire.” Oh my gosh, obsessed. It’s about a postapocalyptic world where children are thrown into the arena to fight to the death. I finished that two days ago.

Over six years past she quit Emmerdale, Sheree Murphy is returning to the world of soap.

The mother-of-three is joining the cast of rival soap Hollyoaks, playing the long-lost biological mother of teen Anita Roy (Saira Choudhry).

Murphy, whose ditzy barmaid character Tricia Dingle be killed off the ITV show in December 2003, took a step back from her acting career to be a full-time mum to her three children.

The 34-year-old actress, who was runner-up in the 2005 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Has already begun filming her scenes, which be screened from April 23.

She will play Eva, who had Anita adopted by Govinda and Bel Roy as a baby.
Troubled teen Anita only discovered she was adopted last June after her evil brother Ash (Junade Khan) told her.

Anita was stunned when Ash showed her her birth certificate, which showed her mother was just a teenager when she had her.

Murphy's character Eva arrives in Chester under the guise of a mysterious brunette called 'Kate' and finds herself attracted to Anita's other brother Ravi (Stephen Uppal).

But it isn't long before she finds out Ravi's little sister is the baby she gave up 17 years ago.

Murphy said: 'Being a fan of the show, I'm really excited to be a part of Hollyoaks and working with the young cast, especially Saira.

Meanwhile, Murphy is said to be considering a move Down Under next year with Australian footballer husband Harry Kewell.
