BOLLYWOOD FASHION ICON "SONAM KAPOOR" WITH SHAHID

Bollywood hottie Sonam Kapoor is known as a fashion icon. But this fashionista holds too many terms for a person to be her friend or even to talk to her! And what is that condition?

Well the condition is that the person should be stylized or rather 'Fashionable'! Can you believe it? But what if Shahid Kapoor himself divulges the fact about his new friend!

Recently Shahid Kapoor during the first look launch of his movie MAUSAM said, 'Sonam has very high fashion standards. She doesn't entertain people whose fashion standards don't match her. Therefore you have to dress and look in a certain way and get an approval on it! Fortunately through the making of this film I tried to educate myself on that and I hope that I'll have a stamp of approval on it!'

Well, Sonam like your unique fashion standards you also have unique sense of choosing friends!

CASEY ANTHONY'S ATTORNEY - SHE IS INNOCENT

It’s no secret that many Americans are outraged at Casey Anthony's acquittal on murder charges, but her defense attorney Cheney Mason says he’s sure she didn’t kill her daughter Caylee.

During an interview this morning, Mason explained, “I do believe her story. I believed it from the first time I met her.”

Cheney also noted, “I have never for one minute had any doubt at all. She did not kill her child. Period. I don’t think her story has changed from the very beginning.’’

As for what’s next for his client, Mason declared, “I don’t know [where she will go], and if I did, I wouldn’t tell you. Yes, we are all concerned about her safety and her future, but one thing at a time.”

“It’s as much her country as anybody else’s. She just needs to have some time and counseling and be re-introduced to society. She’s been in lockdown for 23 hours a day for three years.’’

SEXY KIM KARDASHIAN AT A STUDIO CITY

Always one to make time for promotional appearances, Kim Kardashian was seen arriving at a Studio City television studio.

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" beauty donned her signature style for the network meet-up, wearing a pair of aviators, black blazer, and sky-high black platform heels.

The TV visit followed a busy morning in which Miss Kardashian partook in an early workout followed by wedding planning duties as she was spotted toting a bridesmaid dress to a local office building.

Aside from her hectic schedule, Kim is sparing no expense to lose those pesky extra lb's ahead of her August wedding - hiring celebrity trainers Tracey Anderson and Gunnar Peterson while working up a sweat for hours each day to assure a perfect fit in her duo of big day dresses (one dress for the ceremony and one for the reception).

Detailing her workouts with the bride-to-be, Miss Anderson told press, "We don't want to take away Kim's amazing curves, so we just do specific movements to tighten the skin and to pull the muscles tight against the bone."

MEGAN FOX - IN "THE FACE OF BEAUTY"

Also partaking in a behind-the-scenes interview with the luxury brand (see video above), Fox played down her undeniable appeal, saying,"Makeup artists are definitely better at doing my makeup, but I like to do it myself. I like my eyes the best and I like to emphasize them. I like to make them pop."

Still in disbelief over being selected as the face of such a top-end brand, Megan told, "I never anticipated or imagined that I would be working with someone like Mr. Armani. He's an icon and his brand is so iconic. He has a really amazing energy and I'm just really flattered and humbled to be a part of it."

HOT AND SEXY SULAGNA'S DEBUT IN MURDER2

The promos of MURDER 2 have hit high octane and it is being projected as another super hit film from the house of Bhatts and also another solo hit for Emraan Hashmi after a long-long time. Incidentally, the leading lady of the film Jacqueline Fernandez is also being touted as another Mallika Sherawat in the making. But what is being closed a trade secret to be unleashed to the audience along with the film is another lady Sulagna Panigrahi. She is another girl from the army background who is going to make her debut in the world of Hindi cinema.

Her name is not to be found anywhere in the publicity of MURDER-2, but she is being touted as a surprise package. Indeed, Hindi cinema has been fortunate enough to have leading ladies from the army background who have made their mark in their manner, and have been a trail blazer. Sulagna could also follow in the same league.

One of the most successful female leading ladies so far in the Hindi film industry is Preity Zinta who had an element of chutzpah in her performance and it is owing to this chutzpah that she could carve a niche for herself. Sulagna has the same potential as she has done some daring stunts in MURDER-2, which is a surprise package, and she could do it with consummate ease on account of the army background where being accustomed to such stunts is a part of the process of growing up.

When one is talking about ladies with army background how can one forget Priyanka Chopra or for that matter Gul Panag, who has become the icon of bullet safari in India. Sonu Walia was among the first actresses who descended on Hindi films terra firma belonging to army background.

One of the most successful film stars of the present times, and latest muse of M F Hussain, is Anushka Sharma who comes from an army background, and Celina Jaitley is another actress who traces her origin from the same background. Among other noted ladies having army background can be included Bhumika Chawla, Pooja Batra, Sushmita Sen and Poonam Dhillon.

Such being the illustrious list one only hopes that Sulagna would carry the tradition forward and would be able to make a mark for herself in an impacted manner.

JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ - LOOKING HOT AND SEXY

Let the truth be told. The 'Barbie doll look' that Jacqueline Fernandez had carried in her early outings wasn't due to any inhibitions that she herself carried. It was mainly due to her select friends and advisors who felt that she shouldn't be revealing beyond a certain limit.

Though the beauty queen was game for skin show due to her ramp and modeling experience, she was dissuaded from going the whole hog.

Says a close friend of Jacqueline, "Since she is an outsider, a lot of people were trying to teach her Bollywood. She would constantly hear 'don't do this', 'don't do that'. Some such guidelines included 'no bikini', 'no kissing' and 'no love making' on screen. Jackie listened to all of this but decided to follow her heart subsequently."

It made sense though. After all she pretty much risked gaining the tag of being an ice maiden after her rather cute-n-lovely show in ALADIN as well as JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI. Resultantly, Jackie did some soul searching, laid low for a while before making an all important decision of following the Bollywood diktats. While one wonders who were these 'special friends' who tried to force their opinion over Jackie, the pretty woman says that she couldn't have been happier, now that she is making her own choices.

She says, "I was told not to be too bold or too sexy. Bikinis and kissing were a big no-no. At that time I too wanted to steer clear from any controversies so stayed away from it all. After all I had just started off my career in Bollywood and skin show isn't what I wanted to be known for. However when MURDER 2 came calling, I knew I had to go by my instincts. Of course even for this I was asked whether I was revealing a lot. I didn't worry much though as I knew what and why I was doing something. Yes, it's a risk but is worth taking."

Hope her 'friends' are fine with that as well.
