:Madhuri Dixit ups her fee for `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa`
Getting Madhuri Dixit to sign on the dotted line just got costlier. After the stupendous response to her presence on dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’, it now appears that the channel would have to considerably upgrade her already-impressive, if not astronomical, fee if the star is to appear as a judge on the next season as well. Apparently, Madhuri`s fee is larger than any offered to a reality-show judge in the history of Indian television. Says a co-star who has worked closely with Madhuri: "And why not? She brought so much to the table when she came on board. `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa` went to another level with Madhuri." While Sony TV sources are tight-lipped about the re-negotiation, Madhuri is candid enough to admit that another season of `Jhalak...` is being worked out. "We`re under negotiation. Nothing has been finalised as yet. Let`s see...I really enjoyed my first stint on the show. I am not discounting a second season," Madhuri said. But for now, she is looking forward to joining her husband and sons in the US. "I don`t know when I`ll be back. This has been my longest stay in Mumbai away from my husband and kids. Though my sons joined me in Mumbai during Christmas, I still felt the distance. At the moment, I can`t think of anything but going back to the people who matter the most to me," she said

Anushka spits on Akshay’s face
Bollywood Actress Anushka Sharma seems to be in the happiest phase of her life. The pretty lady is quite satisfied with the way her filmy career and personal life are shaping up. Anushka who started her Bollywood journey with King Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, didn’t leave that great an impression on the audience in Badmaash Company withShahid Kapoor .
But her last film, Band Baaja Baaraat covered up for all the complaints and past failures and turned out to be the best out of all the film that she has done so far. Anushka who has just completed her film Patiala House with Akshay Kumar is waiting for its release in February. The Actress had a great time shooting with the one and only Khiladi, but also admits to have been quite nervous on her first day.
She says, “Working with Akshay Kumar was a dream come true experience. But the first day I reached the shoot, we had a scene where I was told to spit on his face. It was my first day and I was anyway quite nervous and he (Akshay) kept saying ‘thook thook, spit on my face’. That really got me stunned.” Akshay really wanted to bring out the best from his actress, even if it was something as gross as spitting. Anushka says, “Though I was nervous, Akshay made it easy and comfortable and the shot went smoothly.” Akshay has always maintained a good rapport with all the newcomer actresses, so is the beautiful Anushka Sharma going to replace the sexy Kat! Only time can tell kiska bajega band aur kiski niklegi baaraat
Vidya Balan is Hotter than Lara Dutta, Mallika Sherawat, Kareena Kapoor
Vidya Balan is going great guns these days. After sweeping Best Actress awards in every award function, the latest we hear is she’s been voted the hottest vegetarian in an online poll by the animal rights organization PETA, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Beating other powerful contenders like Lara Dutta, Mallika Sherawat, Kareena Kapoor and even the recent Golden Globe winner Natalie Portman, Vidya was voted the hottest vegan. The other was Shashi Tharoor, the former union minister of state for external affairs. He scored over the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Shahid Kapoor and Madhavan to become the hottest male vegan.“Vidya Balan and Shashi Tharoor embody many admirable qualities, but their commitment to a vegetarian diet that’s as kind to animals and the earth as it is to their own health makes them true royalty in our book,” Poorva Joshipura, chief of PETA, said in a statement.
Looks like this year all the stars are in Vidaya’s favor
