Aishwarya Rai: "Raavan" Radiance

Enjoying another day in the South of France, Aishwarya Rai was spotted at the “Raavan” photo call as part of the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival today (May 17).
The “Bride and Prejudice” babe looked beautiful as usual as she worked it for the cameras in a simple-yet-sexy black dress.

Over the weekend, Ms. Rai got a bit more gussied up as she hit the red carpet for the premiere of “Il Gattopardo” at the Palais des Festivals.
Aishwarya wore a very unique Gucci magenta pleated chiffon floor-length getup as she meandered around with her mother Vrinda Rai.Tweet This

'Boogie Woogie' team not worried about competition!!!

"Boogie Woogie", one of the longest running dance shows on television, is back. And Naved Jaffery says he and his team are not bothered by existing reality shows.
"While the other channels are doing it for the first time and may need to put in extra effort in promoting the shows, we don't take it as competition," Naved told IANS.
"Our honesty and respect for all has been our key to success. We have never made the show look ugly by making it just a business. For us, it's been our priority and passion to work the way our audience would like it."
The new season of "Boogie Woogie", which is in its 15th year, is slated to go on air May 19.
Launched in 1996, "Boogie Woogie" was the brainchild lf Naved, his brother Javed Jaffery and actor Ravi Behll.
The trio says they will hold the small screen with their enthusiasm, undying energy and passion for dance.
"It makes me feel 15 years younger and gives me a boost to work even more harder now. All through these years we have never felt short on zeal for the show. I started as a dancer myself and then shifted to movies, but my love and passion for dance can never fade, which keeps me on my toes to deliver enthusiastically," said Javed.
Right now small screen is crowded with dance shows like Zee TV's "Dance India Dance L'il Masters", Colors' "Chak Dhoom Dhoom" and STAR Plus' "Zara Nach Ke Dikha". And now Sony has joined the war with "Boogie Woogie".
Ravi says they have made a few changes in the format.
"Other than new set, new participants and some additions in the variables in the format of the show, we are planning to make it bigger and glamorous. We have always tried to keep it as real as possible, but I do believe getting celebrities on show highlights the episode," he said.
Javed said: "I think talent is getting the due recognition. There are different dance forms in India and they are being recognised because all these shows put them on display. But yes celebrities do make a difference."
The last season of the show ended in October last year.Tweet This

A humanoid robot named I-Fairy conducted a wedding ceremony between humans in Japan Sunday.

The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo where the 4-foot tall seated robot led the ceremony wearing a wreath of flowers.

"It would be nice if the robot was a bit more clever, but she is very good at expressing herself," said groom Tomohiro Shibata, 42, a professor of robotics. The bride Satoko Inoue, 36, works at Kokoro, who manufactured the robot.

Is Deepika being a competition to Sonam??

Bollywood’s cutie, Sonam Kapoor, has declared that she will never work with Deepika because of some differences, and she has no qualms about it.
Sonam looks really excited these days about her new look in ‘I Hate Luv Stories’. She also has some more solo projects in her kitty like, ‘Ayesha’ with Abhay Deol, ‘Come on Pappu’ with Akshay Kumar, and ‘Thank You’, again with Akshay Kumar and Abhay Deol.
The fact is that, though Sonam and Deepika made their debut almost at the same time, Deepika definitely tasted success with Om Shanti Om much earlier than Sonam.
Can this be the reason, why Sonam is feeling insecure? Or is it Ranbir’s link-up with Deepika and media taking more interest in their love life giving Sonam sleepless nights??
Whatever be the reason, we wish Sonam success for all her up coming flicks.Tweet This
