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.’’

SUNNY WANTS TO RESUME HIS RIVALRY WITH SHAHRUKH

Plans are being formed up to release Sunny Deol's "I LOVE NEW YEAR" on Christmas eve. So far so good. The only hitch (and a big one at that) is that Shahrukh Khan's DON 2 is slated to arrive on the same day i.e. 23rd December. Since there is a back story behind this decision, it makes the clash all the more interesting.

For the uninitiated, it was more than a decade and a half ago when things soured between Sunny and Shahrukh. For Yash Chopra's psychological dramatic thriller DARR, Sunny was the chosen one as the lead hero while Shahrukh was to play a quintessential villain. However as the film progressed, so impressed was Chopra Sr. with Shahrukh that the BAAZIGAR boy ended up being a hero who went away with all the sympathies while Sunny's presence seemed like a cameo.

'Ever since then Sunny had soured all relationships with Chopras and Shahrukh,' continues the source, 'So when an opportunity came to hit back where it hurt the most, Sunny isn't shying away and has now given a go-ahead for his romantic comedy to take on Shahrukh's thriller.'

ANUSHKA - THE MOST HOTTEST AND SEXY BABE

Hollywood most hottest and sexiest, Anushka Sharma might prefer to maintain a low profile but her body of work is not letting her do that. And this is not going well with her contemporaries, including some of her senior colleagues in town. The buzz is that Anushka's growing popularity has become a matter of concern for a few Bollywood babes.

Anushka, on her part attributes her current phase to hard work and good luck. Talking about her success story so far, the actress says, "I have been fortunate to be part of films that gets the audiences' approval. Moreover the fact that I get to work with the top stars in Bollywood has always helped my films in a big way and thus my career so far. I only believe in giving my best and rest is just falling in place."

Though Anushka makes no efforts to impress her competitors but she ends up doing it eventually. With her raising stocks and the raising envy levels among her contemporaries, let's hope Anushka has many more successes to claim.

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."

AJAY DEVGAN AND KAJAL AGARWAL IN "SINGHAM"

Titled "Singham", the Hindi version is directed by Rohit Shetty and stars B-town's talented actor Ajay Devgan, our very own Prakash Raj and beauty Kajal Agarwal. The film is bannered under Reliance Entertainment and has been entirely shot in Goa.

Singham's first look has been released along with Salman Khan-Asin starrer 'Ready' which releases today (June 3). Ajay said to have requested his good friend Salman to attach Singham's trailer with 'Ready'.

The trailer shows how Ajay as inspector Bhajirao Singham takes on the baddies with style and josh! Typical thumping Maharashtrian beats, dramatic action sequences – cars flying, hero dodging from weapons - punchy dialogues, pretty Kajal, villain Prakash Raj's imposing presence…. makes 'Singham' quite promising and something to watch out for.

The movie also looks quite different from our version of the Suriya-Anushka starrer. It's not so often that one can see such hard core action films in Hindi these days. While it was Salman Khan who revived the action theme with 'Dabangg', Ajay has added more spicy flavour to the genre with his 'Singham'.

Ajay's 'Singham' will be on the big screens from July 22, 2011. Did you watch the trailer of the movie? Then share your views here... What do you feel about it? Who is better - Ajay or Suriya?

MEGAN FOX - IN "THE FACE OF BEAUTY"

She's been filling the void left by her "Transformers" dismissal with numerous projects, and Megan Fox is nothing short of alluring in her latest effort for Giorgio Armani.

The 25-year-old brunette stunner shows off her good looks in a batch of portrait pictures as part of Armani's "The Face of Beauty" Summer 2011 ad campaign.

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.

FLORENCE BRUNDENELL-BRUCE - PRINCE HARRY'S NEW GIRL FRIEND

He’s finally moving on from Chelsy Davy, and Prince Harry has chosen a super-hottie with whom to spend his time - Florence Brundenell-Bruce.

According to a report, the British Royal and the lovely lingerie model have been seeing each other for a few months, now, though they’ve kept their relationship under wraps.

However, when Harry finally declared that his on/off relationship with Chelsy was over for good, news began to break that Florence was his new leading lady.

An insider told press, “It’s very early days but Harry and Florence are an item. She is a lot of fun, blond and very good looking. Harry really likes her.”

Ms. Brudenell-Bruce comes from a wealthy family of wine merchants, and has her own $3 million home in Notting Hill, London.

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.
