Good Girls Ink.

So if you were tuned in to the Nikki Bedi show today you must have heard our whole good girls v/s bad girls on the tattoo situation! I asked Nikki for a picture of her tattoo for you and voila…
Oh and here’s mine… FYI it means “Love, Life & Loyalty.” (The heart = love, the [...]

Murder On The Menu.

I’m a big fan of dinner-theatre. Any meal time that can be converted into an interactive extravaganza is actually fine by me, and that’s exactly what they did to unveil the new rooms & villas at Ramada Caravela beach resort in Goa – with Raell Padamsee’s “Murder On The Menu.” Murder, suspense, accusations and mystery [...]

Star-crossed: Celebrity Fights.

Social events are slowly picking up in the city of Mumbai again, although I met Narendra Kumar Ahmed (the fashion designer) at a club opening (an extension of Vie in Juhu called C’est La Vie in Bandra which is looking to be a recreational club for the elite with an annual membership – they have [...]

Deepika Inked

So there was a lot of back and forth about this particular piece of body art – Deepika Padukone’s tribute to main squeeze Ranbir Kapoor. Did she? Didn’t she? I suppose the proof is in the picture (unless someone has some wicked photoshop skills and way to much time on their hands!) Your move R.K.

Slumdog Bling Bling

Freida Pinto was all smiles at the Slumdog Millionaire premiere at IMAX Adlabs (Mumbai) last night. She wore a pretty peach sari designed by couturier Manav Gangwani. And clearly some bling barons decided to hitch a ride down the red carpet on her diamond bejeweled ears & wrist as well!
Listen to my report on Mumbai’s [...]

Shakira, Bon Jovi, Usher, Bono and Stevie Wonder are just some of the musical elite who turned up to celebrate a new chapter in history with President Obama (God it feels good to say that finally!) at the Obama Inauguration concert “We Are One” held at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday January 18.

The Fight Club

After the very filmy spat between the show’s host Sajid Khan and best director award winner Ashutosh Gowarikar at the recent Star Screen Awards, it seems the industry has put Sajid in the dog house despite sister Farah Khan’s attempts to smooth things over on stage (which I’m not sure she did very well either…)
Subhash [...]

Basic Instinct

Kangana Ranaut has gone ahead and done it again. This gutsy girl from Himachal is now the biggest buzz on the Internet ever since she featured in Dabboo Ratnani’s 2009 calendar showing off her twin assets! Incidentally  Amrita Rao was at the launch party of Daboo Ratnani’s calendar (look for her next in a movie [...]
