SELENA GOMEZ'S PALM BEACH BREAK

Enjoying a much deserved day off, Selena Gomez took to the sandy shoreline in Palm Beach, Florida for a little midweek relaxation.

Joined by a gal pal, the "Monte Carlo" cutie kept herself covered up in a baggy grey t-shirt and jean shorts as she and her travel companion chatted it up at an oceanside perch while Selena readies to perform a concert at Mizner Park Amphitheatre in nearby Boca Raton, FL on Thursday night.

And while she's currently occupied with touring for her just-released album "When The Sun Goes Down," a report from Cinema Blend tells that Miss Gomez is a frontrunner to take over for Kristin Davis' Charlotte in a "Sex and the City" prequel.

Other casting rumors for the yet-to-be-announced film include Blake Lively as Samantha, Elizabeth Olsen as Carrie and Emma Roberts as Miranda.

POORNA JAGANNATHAN'S FIRST BRAND ENDORSEMENT

New York based actor Poorna Jagannathan has not just won many hearts with DELHI BELLY but has also managed to land her first brand endorsement. Bracialeto, a premium jewellery brand with the firm belief in recognizing and promoting young talent has signed on Poorna as the face of their brand.

Poorna would be shooting for Bracialeto's new ad campaign on the 22nd of July. The look and feel of the campaign would be in sync with Bracialeto's international appeal and would be shot by Saaket Shrikant.

Ecstatic at signing her first brand endorsement Poorna Jagannathan said, "I'm excited to be associated with a finely crafted brand like Bracialeto, I love its uniqueness and that it can be tailored to suit your personality."

Speaking on this development Viral Shah, CEO, Bracialeto said, "I was on the lookout for fresh new talent which would be synonymous to the brand personality of Bracialeto and Poorna's unique and unconventional persona was a perfect fit for the brand."

Coincidentally this also marks Bracialeto's year long successful run in adding definition to the Indian fashion arena.

ASHLEY GREENE AT MADEO RESTAURANT

Hollywood most hottest and sexiest babe, Ashley Greene was seen at Madeo’s restaurant in West Hollywood.

The “Breaking Dawn” babe looked to be in great spirits as she made her exit, sporting a bright pink top and black trousers.

Given that she rose to fame because of the “Twilight Saga” films, Ashley told press she’s a bit intimidated venturing out of that genre.

"It has been equally terrifying and exhilarating. With 'Twilight' at least you are basically growing with this character. So doing something like 'LOL' that is a comedy, which I have never done before, with an incredible cast and a really great director was very intimidating.”

"But I feel like if it wasn't that way there would be a problem. Everything I do I am a little bit afraid of because I care about it and I want to do a great job. It's a new territory and it's uncharted."

SANJAY DUTT IN A NEW LOOK IN "CHATUR SINGH TWO STAR"

Ameesha Patel is ecstatic about her return on the big screen with Sanjay Dutt in CHATUR SINGH TWO STAR. Playing a Mumbai cop, Dutt is shown as someone who is a big fan of spies and is pretty well read on all the famous spy thrillers ever written in different parts of the world. In fact he has also been given a peculiar look that takes a huge departure from the suave persona that he carries and instead lands him in stupidity zone.

'Yeah, you will fall in love with Sanju's look in the film,' laughs Ameesha, 'When I saw him for the first time in that get up, I was amazed. It is so funny and comical. Hats off to Sanju for first agreeing to do a part like this and then managing to carry off his look so well. I am sure audience would have huge bouts of laughter just on seeing the kind of personality that Sanju is carrying in the film.'

While Ameesha seems to be quite happy talking about her much senior co-star here, one wonders what exactly does she get to do in the film. After all she has been missing on the scene for quite a while and one would expect nothing but something really remarkable from the pretty woman out here.

'Well, I am playing the character of Sona who gets caught in a scam by default. The only person in the world who believes her is Chatur and goes all out to help her out,' informs Ameesha, 'This leads to a series of funny incidents involving both of us. We have largely shot this film in South Africa, something that has also lent a visual appeal to the whole comical drama. Locations out there are so stunning.'

Also starring Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Satish Kaushik and Suresh Menon in principal roles, CHATUR SINGH TWO STAR is directed by Ajay Chandok and releases all over on 19th August.

ADRIANA LIMA WITH VALENTINA AT THE MIAMI BEACH

Back out for a little more fun in the sun, Adriana Lima and daughter Valentina Jaric kicked off the day at the beach in Miami Beach, Florida on Monday (July 25).

The Victoria's Secret supermodel once agains donned an itsy-bitsy bikini as she romped about the sandy Atlantic shoreline with her too-cute tot.

The sunshine state holiday comes as Miss Lima continues to build her already successful modeling career after taking a break upon giving birth to little Valentina.

Most recently, Adriana shot a new BlueMarine ad campaign while also becoming the spokeswoman for Brazilian social gaming company Megacity by Votsu and the face of Brazilian luxury brand Forum.

VIDYA AND NASEER TOGETHER IN "DIRTY PICTURE"

Director Milan Luthria recently ordered two truckloads of oranges for a sensational song sequence in Balaji's forthcoming THE DIRTY PICTURE.

The track was picturised on Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah and shot at Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City.

In true South style, over a thousand oranges were rolled down a hillside as the actors danced to choreographer Pony Verma's matkas and jhatkas - reminiscent of the erstwhile Jeetendra-starrer HIMMATWALA!

In THE DIRTY PICTURE, Naseer, who plays a South-Indian superstar, consented to dancing after 20 years, as it was in line with the requirements of his character. He was last seen dancing with Sonam in Rajiv Rai's smash hit, TRIDEV.

KRISTIN CAVALLARI NO LONGER ENGAGED TO MARRY JAY CUTLER

Looking as if a long life of happiness together wasn't in the cards, Kristin Cavallari is reportedly no longer engaged to marry Jay Cutler.

With the pair having gotten engaged back in April while having been together for ten months, an insider tells People magazine that the reality star and her Chicago Bears QB beau have pulled the plug on their marital plans.

Of the news, the People source dished, "She was hanging out at a table with Nicky Hilton and Alessandra Ambrosio. She was telling friends how she called off the engagement."

The nixed engagement comes after Jay was alongside Kristin to offer support as she walked the runway during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SWIM in Miami just last weekend.

ABHINAY DEO - CREDITS AAMIR FOR "DELHI BELLY"

Director Abhinay Deo, who has delivered his first hit in the form of DELHI BELLY, feels the film wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for Aamir Khan.

Says the director, "DELHI BELLY wouldn't be a hit without Aamir Khan. I'll tell you the reason. Of course, the script was the same, but the contribution that Aamir has made is giving us a free hand. He trusted me 100% and told me to do the film the way I wanted. It was very easy for a producer to change the script which had so many abuses. But he didn't do any of that. Also, the way he backed and marketed the film, I don't think any producer would have been able to do."

But isn't this contrary to the interfering image of Aamir? 'I can't speak for other people. As far as I am concerned, I can't even believe that people call him interfering. I've never seen a person who is so dedicated to cinema and who gives 100 % freedom to the director and the creative team. He only puts his weight in the right places such as marketing,' states Abhinay.

And finally, setting the record straight about the sequel of DELHI BELLY, the director says, "There is no DELHI BELLY sequel as of now. It took six years to write DELHI BELLY. I don't know how long it will take to write its sequel. That was just a speculative news."

AMY WINEHOUSE PASSED AWAY THIS SATURDAY

With no signs of foul play, the late 27-year-old Grammy winning artist will undergo an autopsy tomorrow (July 24), with speculation understandably pointing towards a drug/alcohol overdose as cause of death.

Since news of Miss Winehouse's passing broke, an outpouring of tributes and well-wishes from fellow celebrities have flooded Twitter.

Among those commenting on the loss of a true talent were Dionne Bromfield Performing "Mama Said" with Amy Winehouse, who wrote, “So sad about Amy Winehouse -she was so talented. Really tragic.” Fellow singer Rihanna tweeted, “Dear God have mercy!!! I am SICK about this right now! #DearAmy”

Others taking to Twitter on the somber occasion included Nicki Minaj, who posted, “Please tell me Amy Winehouse didn’t die. Is this some sick joke?,” as well as Demi Moore, who sent her blessings by writing, “Truly sad news about Amy Winehouse. My heart goes out to her family. May her troubled soul find peace.”

And while her time on Earth may have come to a seemingly premature end, Amy gifted each and every one of us with timeless songs, priceless performances and candid interviews to help keep her memory alive in our hearts and minds for years to come.
