Putting their love for one another, Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl spent a romantic day on the beach in St Bart.
The former "City" star and her beau romped along the beach before finding a perch to sprawl out and engage in a makeout session - with Olivia covering up with a towel as she readjusted her bikini top during the waterfront hookup.
And while she's currently situated in the French island territory, Olivia recently dished that her favorite shopping spot is in the country's capital city of Paris.
Asked where she likes to load up on garb, Palermo told, "I’d probably have to say Paris." She added, “I do most of my shopping on my travels and I love finding one-off pieces - they fill my wardrobe."
In 2011, the self proclaimed Badshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, seems to have had a change of heart. After years of fighting from the Bollywood crown, SRK has now decided to pass it on to his biggest rivals Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.
Recently, on a chat show with Karan Johar, SRK confessed that he would like to grow up to be like Salman and Aamir. He also went on to admit that he can never be as big a star as the two Khans are.
However sources at the set also say that his statement is also an indication of the fact that Aamir and Salman entered the film industry earlier than him and so, that`s one of SRK’s ways of saying he is younger to them in experience and still has a lot to learn.

Katrina and Ranbir surprised one and all with their solid portrayal of youngsters who are forced to join politics owing to circumstances. Kareena Kapoor is all set to follow into Katrina's footsteps as she too has been approached by Farhan Akhtar's production house Excel Entertainment for a political drama.
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra who gave Kareena Chameli has been roped in to direct the film. Will the critically acclaimed actress-director pair be able to revive the magic of Chameli?
Sudhir Mishra confirmed the news saying, "Yes, we have approached Kareena Kapoor for my forthcoming film to be produced by Farhan called Bhrub. The Devdas remake I was planning didn't work out as the script I wrote became something else. That script went on to become Bhrub.
Bhrub happens to be the name of the central character around which the film will revolve. It's about a man who's an heir to a political family. Kareena will play the female protagonist. She has an equally important role to play. As far the male lead is concerned, we have few names in mind but that will happen once Farhan gets free post the shooting of his Don 2. We will sit together and brainstorm."
Sudhir added, "Kareena broke free from commercial films in Chameli and that was when people realised the potential that was hidden inside her as an actor. I intend to do that again as she hasn't been exploited enough as an actor considering her immense talent."
Rumours of Abhay and Farhan being considered for the role opposite Kareena are doing the rounds. Watch this space for more.

Govinda’s father, Arun Kumar Ahuja, was born in pre-partition Gujranwala, Punjab (now in Pakistan) on January 26, 1917. He studied in an engineering college at Lahore. Veteran producer Mehboob Khan brought him to Mumbai in 1937 and cast him in Ek Hi Raasta as the leading man. Arun was notable for acting in Mehboob Khan's Aurat (1940). Govinda's mother, Nazeem who was Muslim had converted to Hinduism and adopted the name Nirmala Devi.Arun and Nirmala first met during the making of the film Savera, in which they were cast opposite each other. They married in 1941.
The only film Ahuja ever produced was a flop. Unable to bear the loss, his health failed. The family, living in a bungalow on Mumbai's upmarket Carter Road, was forced to move to Virar — a far flung semi-rural Mumbai suburb, where Govinda was born. The youngest of six children, his pet name Chi Chi means little finger in Punjabi, the language they speak at home. Since his father was unable to work, Nirmala Devi brought up the children through hard times in Mumbai.
ACTING CAREER:-
He studied at Annasahb Vartak College in Vasai, Maharashtra. He graduated in commerce, but failed to find a job. He was not considered for a steward's position at the Taj Mahal hotel, because his English wasn't good enough. His father suggested films. Around this time, Govinda saw the film Saturday Night Fever and dance became his obsession. He practiced for hours and circulated a promo of himself on a VHS cassette. Soon a fertilizer commercial came his way, followed by an Allwyn ad, finally his very first leading role in Tan Badan, which was to be directed by his uncle Anand. He started shooting for his next film Love 86 in June 1985. By mid-July, he had signed 40 others.
His first released film was Ilzaam (1986), a box office success and the fifth biggest hit of 1986. The film established him as a dancing star.

He was often paired opposite actress Neelam and together they appeared in several hit films such as, Love 86 (1986), Khudgarz (1987) and his brother Kirti Kumar's directed, Hatya (1988). He had success with family drama films such as Dariya Dil (1988), Jeete Hain Shaan Se (1988) and Hum (1991) as well as action films such as Marte Dam Tak (1987) and Jung Baaz (1989).

In the musical production, the former “Dancing With the Stars” cutie can be seen rolling around on a bed while stripping down to her bra and panties as she dances around her bedroom.
Last week, Julianne performed in Boston, MA and explained to the crowd, “Funny story. I shot a music video for it….and CMT kind of banned it. Apparently I was taking off too many clothes as I was dancing around my bedroom. But I don’t know – I kind of liked it.”
However, CMT apparently pulled the mischievous video because of pending negotiations - not the content - and the network said that once the contract issues are resolved, the video will be put back on the country TV station.
