SRK gets lured by the Awards!

Though Shah Rukh Khan has numerous awards to his credit, he says he is lured by films with interesting plots and not the promise of awards.

Shahrukh confessed that he has played bad roles and older characters during his dynamic career despite being warned that it could dent his image as a poster boy for the teenage set.

"But I did it. I'm not scared," he was quoted as saying by newspaper.

"I just get up, listen to stories and scripts and choose the ones I really like and then go act them to the best of my ability. That's it," Shahrukh said.

"I want to entertain, not do a film so that it can win an award," he said.

He has starred as a macho action hero and romantic lead in more than 60 Indian movies since his 1992 debut.

Shahrukh's new releases over the next couple of months include Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Don.  

'Kim didn't show me middle finger'

Shamita Shetty woke up on Tuesday to stories about her spat at a Mumbai pub with starlet Kim Sharma.

"This was worse than fiction," she giggles, apparently not affected by what she calls a bizarre fabrication.

"I'd have let such an unnatural rumour die a natural death. But I don't want this fictitious fight with Ms Sharma to be referred to among the most famous cat-fights of Bollywood. Please! I'd rather be remembered by my work. And that's why I've been keeping out of the news, to focus on what I'm here for."

Laughing, Shamita catches her breath. "I'm not a cat. I don't indulge in cat-fights. My sister Shilpa and I've been brought up with certain values. We don't believe in creating scenes in public. At first when I read it I laughed. It was all so weird. And so frivolous."

Shamita admits to being at the pub where the fight with Ms Sharma ostensibly happened. "I was in the private section of the pub with my friends. But there was no conversation with Mr Yuvraj Singh. I knew he and Kim were there.

But I didn't run into them at any point in the evening. And there was certainly no finger shown by Ms Kim Sharma at me. Do you think I'm someone to take such behaviour? I don't know whom she showed her finger to. But it sure as hell wasn't me."

She adds, "I don't know Kim that well. Ages ago I did a film Mohabbatein with her. She was my co-actor, period. I don't know her, I've never socialized with her. It isn't my nature to speak up against anyone the way she has. I may be irrelevant to her scheme of things. But did she have to speak in that nasty way about me?"

Shamita concludes, "The whole incident shows me up in a poor light. My friends have been calling up. Luckily my family is with me. And we've all laughed it off. In our industry some actresses love talking about making up, breaking up and having cat-fights. It's so peculiar.

No one can show me the finger and get away with it. We don't need to be rocket scientists to see why this story was planted, and by whom. I'm preparing to shoot for Cash. I don't need cat-fights to get noticed."

Katrina refuses to marry Salman!

You may call it a 20-20 of another kind. While the brawny star Salman is pushing forty, his beautiful girlfriend Katrina is still in her twenties, which makes her the perfect contender for bollywood crown.

Though Khan has avoided the middle-age spread till now but the fact remains that he is not getting any younger.

When he last appeared in front of media, for 'Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar' promotion, we heard him voicing his opinion about marriage- the topic he generally evaded throughout his career.

Apparently, Salman thinks it's time for him to settle down.

"Marriage is quite a funny thing. Ekta Kapoor is raking moolah out of it," he said. "Everyone says it's the best thing to get married and I say, 'Yeah right. Maybe I should try it one of these days."

But his beloved seems to have other plans. The priority for Katrina at the moment is to carve a niche for herself in Bollywood and get out of Salman抯 shadow.

And then there is a married actor, also a close friend of Kat, who is motivating her to get more involved with her career. And this is obviously not going down too well with Salman.

The good news is that the couple is trying to iron out their differences. Let抯 hope the pressure doesn抰 get to them and they sort out their differences pretty soon.

Priyanka Chopra makes BIG impact

Priyanka Chopra has returned triumphant from her first speech on Tuesday evening on an international forum.

"I was in Kuala Lampur for only four hours. I landed, gave my speech and flew out to Mumbai. It was rather scary because I was addressing a very distinguished international audience. But the speech went very well. The question and answer also went well.

The speaker after me was Sir Tim Berners Lee, founder of the world wide web, and before me was Dr Jeffrey Sonenfeld, founder of Yale.

So I felt I was sandwiched between two stalwarts who'd crush me. Fortunately I stood my ground. Other speakers included Donald Trump and Gerald M Levin (former chairman Time-Warner Inc). In comparison I was just a novice."

Priyanka was proud to be addressing a world forum. "The challenge was big because I was representing my country. I felt I did a good job. Of course I'd like to represent my country more often. I feel I've so many puddings to dip my finger into. It's all exciting and new. I always had a social side to me.

I don't like to talk about my social activities except when I need to bring media focus to an issue, like an AIDS campaign. I feel we celebrities need to create an awareness about critical issues. It's our way of giving back to a society that's given us so much love and adulation."

It wasn't just the nervousness that she feels about her first- ever speech on a global forum on 1 August that makes Priyanka Chopra jittery.

She's also terribly apprehensive about her father's surgery for which he leaves with her mom for Boston on 6 August. "I hope this will be his last and totally successful surgery. We've gone through enough stress and need a break now. Hopefully Dad will be totally out of it."

Unfortunately she cannot accompany her parents to the US since she'd shooting in Mumbai for Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq. But she hopes she'd be able to be in Boston at least on the day of the surgery.

She still recalls with a shudder how her kid-brother find out about the nature of their father's illness from a newspaper report.

"We had told him that dad was ill. But we hadn't informed him of the nature of his illness. He's just thirteen, yaar! To have to know about your father is serious illness through the newspaper at that age isn't easy. I think it made my little brother grow up overnight."

Priyanka had left for Kuala Lampur to address the Global Leadership Forum with a heavy heart. Not just her dad's surgery, but a good friend has fallen ill and has been hospitalized.

"Simple Kapadia is not just my first costume designer she has also become a good friend during the making of Guddu Dhanoa's film. Now when we're shooting the film again Simple and I were really bonding.

She told me about her illness. But she said she was doing fine. The next thing I know she's in hospital. I know what a family goes through when someone falls ill. We've been through it. I wouldn't wish this one anyone."  

More tough times for Ash

Sosialit, bintang realiti buruan tabloid cuba nasib sebagai penyanyi. Mampukah Paris Hilton mencipta kejayaan?

SEJUJURNYA pewaris empayar Hotel Hilton ini tidak bercita-cita untuk memegang gelaran puteri pop. Apa yang menjadi impiannya adalah menghasilkan muzik yang baik dan berkesan, tidak lebih daripada itu.

Daripada gadis pemalu, Hilton berdikit-dikit melayari impiannya dan pada 22 Ogos ini, album sulung yang menggunakan namanya, Paris sebagai judul, bakal menguji kemampuan sebenar sosialit sensasi ini.

?Yakin dan percaya pada diri sendiri, selain bekerja keras adalah kunci untuk mencapai keinginan. Saya berpegang kepada prinsip itu ketika hendak memulakan projek rakaman album ini.

?Sukar untuk saya jelaskan bagaimana keyakinan itu dibina. Namun, pengalaman yang saya lalui banyak mengajar saya untuk menempuh semua halangan itu,? katanya.

Justeru, Hilton semakin memahami mengapa ramai keliru dengan transformasi yang dilaluinya. Pintanya tulus, jangan pantas membuat kesimpulan tanpa terlebih dulu mendengar keseluruhan isi album itu.

?Paris akan menceritakan segala-galanya,? katanya yang mengecap populariti sebagai penyanyi apabila single pertamanya, Stars Are Blind mendaki carta Billboard.

Hilton tanpa ragu mengakui, cintanya terhadap muzik sentiasa subur. Malah, nyanyian juga bukan sesuatu yang asing baginya kerana sejak berusia enam tahun lagi dia begitu meminati cabang seni itu.

Dia berkebolehan bermain piano dan biola, lantas apabila gadis berusia 25 tahun itu mengambil keputusan untuk merakamkan album, ia bukan perkara yang mengejutkan.

?Saya memiliki asas muzik dan menaruh keyakinan, peminat juga akan menyukai album ini,? katanya.

Di sebalik cabaran yang baru dilalui itu, Hilton akur, dia berdepan dengan situasi baru yang tidak pernah ditempuhi artis lain.

?Kebanyakan artis tidak dikenali sebelum album mereka muncul. Tetapi, saya melalui pengalaman yang cukup berbeza. Orang sudah mula mengenali saya sejak beberapa tahun lalu,? kata bintang utama siri realiti, Simple Life itu.

Menerusi Paris, anak sulung empat beradik ini menyuntik kepelbagaian irama merangkumi pop, reggae dan hip hop. Hilton juga merakamkan semula lagu klasik disko nyanyian Rod Stewart, Do Ya Think I?m Sexy.

?Saya boleh menyanyi dengan baik, tetapi dulu saya terlalu malu untuk melakukannya. Tidak mudah untuk saya melakukan proses ini. Bagaimanapun, apabila sudah membiasakan diri, ia menjadi perkara yang menyeronokkan,? katanya yang semakin selesa menyanyi di depan orang ramai.

Paris menampilkan nama gah dalam industri muzik seperti Scott Storch (50 Cent, Beyonce), JR Rotem (Rihanna) dan Dr Luke (Pink, Kelly Clarkson).

Bukan itu saja, dia turut bekerjasama dengan komposer ternama seperti Kara DioGuardi (Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson), Billy Steinberg (Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, The Pretenders) dan Sheppard Solomon (Natalie Imbruglia).

Antara lagu yang terhasil menerusi kolaborasi berkenaan termasuk Jealousy, Turn You On, Turn It Up, Fightin' Over Me, Nothing In This Worlds, I Want You, Heartbeat, Screwed dan Not Leaving Without You.

INFO:


PARIS ialah anak sulung daripada empat adik beradik hasil perkongsian hidup Richard Hilton dan ibu, Kathy Richards. Adik perempuan ialah Nicky Hilton, dan adik lelaki pula, Barron Hilton II dan Conrad Hilton II.


KONTROVERSI terhangat membabitkan Paris adalah rakaman perlakuan seksnya bersama bekas teman lelaki, Rick Salomon yang tersebar di internet sebaik siri The Simple Life dilancarkan.


MAJALAH Forbes melaporkan, pada 2003 hingga 2004, pendapatan Paris mencecah hampir RM7.2 juta (AS$2juta) untuk penampilan di TV dan filem, tetapi dari 2004 ke 2005, pendapatannya sekitar RM23.4 juta (AS$6.5juta).


DUTA jenama Guess ini pernah muncul dalam beberapa iklan termasuk T-Mobile dan Carl?s Jr.


DIA muncul dalam beberapa filem seperti House of Wax, The Hillz, Wonderland, Raising Helen, Bottom's Up dan Nine Lives. Juga mendapat jolokan sebagai Worst Supporting Actress Razzie 2005 (House of Wax). Dia turut muncul dalam filem Zoolander (2001), The Cat in the Hat (2003) dan Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004).


PARIS juga memiliki rangkaian kelab malam, Club Paris di Orlando, Florida. Dia bakal menambah rangkaian di Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles dan Miami.


PERNAH menulis buku berjudul Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose dan Your Heiress Diary: Confess It All To Me. Walaupun dianggap sebagai penulis amatur, ia antara buku paling laris di New York.


PARIS pernah dikaitkan dengan ramai lelaki terkenal, antaranya Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Furlong, peninju Oscar De La Hoya, bintang sukan Chicago Bears, Brian Urlacher, pemain hoki Jose Theodore, penyanyi Rob Mills, Deryck Whibley, pemain tenis Australia, Mark Philippoussis serta pemain kriket Kevin Pietersen.

SITI JADI ISTERI DATUK K Oleh
SAODAH ISMAIL

KUALA LUMPUR: Dengan hanya satu lafaz, penyanyi nombor satu Malaysia, Siti Nurhaliza Taruddin, selamat diijab kabul dengan ahli perniagaan, Datuk Khalid Mohd Jiwa, dengan maskahwin RM22,222 ($9,412) di Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, Jalan Duta, semalam.

Seperti yang diumumkan sebelum ini, Siti, 27 tahun dan Datuk Khalid, yang lebih dikenali sebagai Datuk K, 47 tahun, memilih hari Israk Mikraj untuk melangsungkan hari bersejarah mereka.

Setengah jam sebelum bergelar suami isteri, pasangan ini ditu nangkan di tempat yang sama, disaksikan tetamu yang termasuk beberapa orang kenamaan.

Majlis itu, yang disiarkan secara langsung melalui TV3, agak mengecewakan beberapa wartawan apabila jurugambar masing-masing tidak dibenarkan memasuki ruang utama kerana TV3 memegang hak penyiaran secara eksklusif.

Siti, yang mengenakan pakaian sedondon dengan Datuk K, kelihatan anggun dengan baju dari kain lace ciptaan Razwan Radwil, lengkap dengan tudung dan selendang daripada kain yang sama.

Siti tiba di pekarangan masjid sekitar 10.10 pagi dengan sebuah kereta Mercedes hitam ditemani ibu dan ayahnya. Para jurugambar di situ tidak melepaskan peluang merakamkan wajah pertama Siti sebagai pengantin sebaik beliau tiba dan dibawa ke dewan muslimat. Beliau dibawa masuk ke ruang utama masjid hanya selepas istiadat persarungan cincin tunang selesai.

Gabenor Melaka, Tan Sri Khalil Yaakob, bertindak sebagai ketua adat bagi pengantin perempuan, manakala Tan Sri Khalil Mutalib mewakili pihak pengantin lelaki. Turut mengiringi Datuk K adalah pengamal perubatan Islam, Datuk Dr Haron Din.

Selepas acara pertunangan, dengan lima dulang hantaran pihak lelaki dibalas dengan tujuh dulang di pihak perempuan, imam Masjid Wilayah, Tuan Haji Mohd Sihir Mohd Sain, membacakan doa.

Sebaik saja selesai acara pertunangan, majlis diteruskan dengan ayah Siti melakukan wakalaf, iaitu memberi kuasa kepada jurunikah, Haji Nasaruddin Mohd Daud, dan acara akad nikah dilangsungkan.

Kira-kira 11.15 pagi, masing-masing dengan sekali lafaz, Datuk K dan Siti disahkan sebagai suami isteri. Pasangan pengantin itu kemudian menyertai tetamu khas lain dalam majlis makan tengah hari sebelum menemui pihak media untuk acara sidang media.

Sebilangan besar wartawan, terutama para jurugambar, tidak dibenarkan masuk untuk mengambil gambar. Datuk K tidak menyertai acara sidang media dengan alasan beliau bukan selebriti.

Dalam pertemuan dengan media selama setengah jam, Siti, yang kini bergelar Datin, berkata beliau berharap orang ramai dapat mendoakan kebahagiaannya melayari hidup baru sebagai isteri.

'Siti berharap peminat-peminat dapat bersama-sama mendoakan kebahagiaan Siti,' katanya sebelum meminta diri untuk menemui suaminya.

Tentang rancangan berbulan madu dan cahaya mata, Siti hanya berkata: 'Semua itu masih belum dirancang lagi. Siti bersyukur semuanya sudah selamat dan Siti berharap peminat-peminat akan mendoakan kebahagaian Siti.'

Majlis persandingan mereka akan berlangsung pada 28 Ogos di Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, manakala majlis di rumah ibu bapa Siti di Kuala Lipis, Pahang, akan diadakan pada 3 September.
