She’s a well-known supporter of animal rights activist group PETA. And earlier today, Pamela Anderson took a stand for chickens worldwide.

The former Baywatch babe was spotted at a KFC Restaurant in the Southport area of Queensland, Australia as she hand-delivered a signed letter of protest about the treatment of chickens by the KFC company on behalf of PETA.

She told press, “I’ve been in Australia filming Big Brother House, in which my housemates and I are confined and sealed off from the outside world, much like the chickens who are crammed inside barns for KFC.”

She continued, “Fortunately, I won’t be stomped to death, have my legs broken or be scalded to death in a tank of hot water, yet as PETA’s undercover videos have revealed, the chickens raised for KFC’s restaurants in Australia often suffer these abuses.”

One small problem - KFC is one of the major sponsors of the Aussie Big Brother show on which Pammie has been guest starring. Whoopsie Daisy!

For the first time in 22 years, all four ex-members of ABBA appeared together at the Swedish premiere of Mamma Mia!, starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.

The Swedish pop/disco quartet—Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog—didn't perform, but throngs of fans went wild at the sight of all four together again in Stockholm.

They were joined on the red carpet and theater balcony by the stars of the soon-to-be released film. Mamma Mia! is a big-screen adaptation of the highly successful musical featuring ABBA's biggest hits, including "Dancing Queen," "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me."

The foursome shot to fame in the mid-'70s and performed together publicly for the last time in 1986. In 2000, they turned down $1 billion to reunite for a concert tour.

Though Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is based on a fictitious story, it has incidents from real life interwoven in the plot.

The movie, launchpad of Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan , sees the graduation of Abbas Tyrewala from script and screenplay writing to direction.
Abbas, who has written the screenplay for films like Maqbool and Main Hoon Na , had a very original light-hearted romantic story set on a college campus for his directorial debut but he wanted to add realism to it. So he put in incidents from his own college days.

"I treated the film exactly as I remembered my college days…All the events are based on true incidents. Only the basic story is from the realm of fantasy," Abbas tells a news agency in an interview.

The movie’s story revolves around a group of college friends. Imran and Genelia D’Souza play two characters diametrically opposite to each other. The group also has another guy who harbours a secret crush on Genelia. And there is also a girl whose heart throbs for Imran. How love sprouts between Imran and Genelia, two unlikely people, is what the film is about.

Though the film is the launchpad of Imran, it was never intended to be this way. The film was initially meant to be produced by Jhamu Sughand. Aamir Khan came on board as producer much later, when Sughand expressed his inability to produce it. And even though Aamir decided to produce the film, he told Abbas not to treat it as the lauchpad of his nephew Imran.

‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ releases on July 4.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif at the music launch of 'Singh Is Kinng' at Enigma, JW Marriott, Mumbai, on Thursday late evening, June 26. Photo Credit: Sawf News

June 28, 2008 (Sawf News) - Bollywood hunks love to go around with shadow stubble and Salman is no exception. The trouble is, as you grow old the shadow stubble looks increasingly like sunshine stubble, thanks to the pesky grey facial foliage that inexorably sprouts to replace the youthful black crop.

The problem gets exacerbated if your morning starts in the evening, as Salman's does.

At the music launch of Singh is Kinng at Enigma, JW Marriott on Thursday late evening, June 26, Salman was the unexpected chief guest. Unexpected because the Big B was also invited to the event though, for reasons best known to himself, Bachchan left the event before it even started. But that is a different story.

Salman's presence at the launch came as a surprise for the media which were under the impression that Amitabh Bachchan was the chief guest. Salman has nothing to do with the film that top lines Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif.

Akshay is currently in the US shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakth Ishq, so we are guessing that the film's producer, Vipul Shah, roped in Salman to fill the void for no other reason than the fact that Salman is a media magnet who is romantically linked with his heroine, Katrina Kaif.

Anyway, we digress. Salman arrived at the 'early morning' event around 11 PM looking a little unkempt. His hair was disheveled and he had shadow stubble. While on the stage he exchanged a few words and smiles with Katrina.

It was either Katrina or the mirror that Salman kept looking into furtively as he strode out of Engima discotheque, that tipped Salman that all was not well with his appearance. We are thinking it was the sunshine stubble, but it could have been his misaligned wig!

Once out of Enigma, Salman headed straight to a rest room. As he went in his body guards blocked the entrance. Salman's man Friday appeared some time later carrying a coat and a pouch that he dutifully handed over to Salman in the rest room.

When Salman emerged a few minutes late, he was not only clean shaved but his hair was well in place.

Salman's day had started! source

Rachael Ray pregnant? This is a phrase that a lot of internet users are doing searches on Google.com now. To their disappointment, Rachael Ray, host of Yum-O! was/is/will not be pregnant. The latest pictures here of Rachael Ray at the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on June 20, have no any signs showing Ray bearing a baby bump.

Rachael Ray, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show on the event, said in February, "I'm too tired...I feel like I’m a bad mom to my dog... I have five jobs, and I just don’t think I could take on the biggest job of being a parent."

If TV ratings are anything to go by, it is Salman and not Shah Rukh! And Sallu has bested the Bollywood Badshah by a decent margin.

The game show he hosts on Sony, ‘Dus ka Dum’, was the numero uno on the first day, according to Amap’s six metro ratings. The show garnered an average TVR of 2.81 and a peak rating of 4.5. Shah Rukh’s show in Star Plus, ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez hai?’ came a distant second with an average rating of 1.37 TVR and a peak rating of 2.3. ‘Paanchvi Paas’, which had begun much earlier, got punched on the chin by the IPL cricket in the beginning and has now been mopped by a muscular Sallu. Amap, a TAM rival, is a widely followed TV-rating agency.

‘Dus ka Dum’ was launched on June 6. Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Junoon — Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka’, launched on the same day in NDTV Imagine, managed only an average TVR of 0.76; the peak rating was 1.1, much less than that of the one hosted by Shatrughan Sinha in Star One, ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge 4’. On day two of DKD, Salman Khan reigned supreme with an average TVR of 2.27 and a peak rating of 3.5 TVR. ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez hai?’ also picked up with the ratings.

What makes Salman’s show a success? Industry watchers say there is a novelty value in seeing him on the small screen, unlike Shah Rukh and Hrithik who have come on and off. Salman’s immense popularity with Indian households is also a factor.

His followers say it is the positive energy and cheer that he brings to the table that makes all the difference.Drawn on the lines of the US game show, ‘Power of 10’, ‘Dus ka Dum’ gives the contestants an opportunity to win Rs10 crore, the biggest prize money (to date) on Indian television, by answering just five questions. The contestant has to predict what would be the opinion of the Indian people. The prize money starts from Rs10,000. Thereafter wins grow by the power of 10 and losses shrink by the power of ten.

Salman Khan, it is believed, will cost Sony around Rs 90 crore. Akshay Kumar, though he is contracted for a single 16-episode season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi’ (a ‘Fear Factor’ take-off) for Colors, the yet-to-be-launched channel, will be charging around Rs 15 crore-20 crore. Akshay will be starting off with 13 women celebrities.

Why are these channels running behind Bollywood stars? Aren’t they too expensive for the whims of the Idiot Box? Says Colours CEO Rajesh Kamat: “It is one way of cutting through the clutter and getting into Indian homes quickly.” That was just what happened to Star Plus, whose fortunes changed all of a sudden with Amitabh Bachchan’s mega hit ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’.

On the flip side, telly success has eluded most Bollywood bigwigs, including Anupam Kher, Manisha Koirala and Govinda. Shah Rukh-hosted KBC also had to flash a sad “The End”.

NEW YORK - Angelina Jolie says being pregnant has its perks.

“It’s great for the sex life,” she tells Entertainment Weekly magazine. “It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.”

Jolie, who’s expecting twins, has said the babies are due in August. She and partner Brad Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
Story continues below ↓advertisement

When asked how she and Pitt plan to handle six young children, the 33-year-old actress says: “We really don’t know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we’re going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can.”

Jolie says the couple want to make sure their older children feel included after the babies are born.

“They’re old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We’re trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing,” she says.

How do Jolie and Pitt, 44, define their relationship?

“We have that problem all the time,” she says. “I say ‘partner’ sometimes. ‘Father of my children’ is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, ‘So, your wife this, your husband that.’ We’ve stopped correcting everybody.”’

Is having a hectic schedule in the music industry, apparently wouldn't prevent Timbaland from taking his love relationship with publicist Monique Idlett into the next level. The hip hop artist and record producer reportedly is going to marry her in Aruba on June 19.

Per Life & Style Weekly, which was the first to report the wedding plans, the acclaimed music mogul will exchange wedding vows with Idlett in the south Caribbean region. The publication was informed by an insider, "No other details have been given out, but guests are being told to be prepared to fly to Aruba on that date."

A source close to Timbaland told People magazine at that time that the music mogul and Idlett have been dating for two years and he's said to propose to her during their baby shower in October.

KYA AAP Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain’ is gradually catching up the momentum. With Shahrukh Khan as the anchor, the show has become a must watch for people of all age groups. The witty Shahrukh, his one liners and jovial nature are like an icing to the cake. The fifth standard questions have already made all the doctors and educated contestants sweat till date. Adding to their embarrassment, they have to look in front of the camera and say that they, even after being so educated, are not ’tez’ than a ’panchvi pass’.

A website revealed that in the coming days, a number of celebrities and actors would be trying their luck in Paanchvi Pass. The headmaster would ask them the grade five questions and even the classmates would be there to help them. The latest to attend the classes would be Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. The couple would answer the questions using their intelligence, wit and experience. As per the rules, they can copy and cheat if the answers are not known. It’s interesting to see how far the couple would go in answering the questions.

It is reported that the shooting of the special episode is over but it has not yet been finalised when the show would be telecast. Earlier Bebo and Saif had appeared in Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by SRK, individually. But this time, they would appear together to face the headmaster’s questions. As usual, the amount the couple would win will be donated for a charity of their choice.

The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend is set to kick start in Bangkok on Friday, but the three top Khans of Bollywood won’t attend it.

Helmed by Amitabh Bachchan , who is the brand ambassador extraordinaire of IIFA, the event will see participation by the who’s who of Bollywood, including Akshay Kumar , Kareena Kapoor , Katrina Kaif , Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja and others. But conspicuous by their absence would be the three Khans – Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman.



Shahrukh Khan has stayed away from the event from the last three years because he says IIFA clashes with the summer holidays of his kids whom he has to take on vacation in June every year. But insiders believe SRK doesn’t want to play second fiddle at an event that centers on the Bachchans.

Salman Khan , who has been regular at IIFA every year, would give it a miss this year because of his other commitments like the TV show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ and the movie Main Aur Mrs Khanna . However, his ladylove Katrina Kaif will be shaking her leg with Akshay Kumar at the IIFA finale.

Aamir Khan , who hasn’t kept secret his dislike for award shows, has stuck to his principles and decided not to attend the IIFA. Aamir did not even formally apply for the nomination of his film Taare Zameen Par , which, consequently hasn’t been nominated in any IIFA category.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, stars were spotted arriving at the Thai capital for the event. Urmila Matondakar and Arshad Warsi and his wife Maria were among the first to arrive.

In his first interview since being the target of infidelity rumors, Tony Parker tells a French newspaper, he was "shocked" to find himself wrapped up in an Internet scandal. "It's the most bizarre episode in my life," the 25-year old San Antonio Spurs star told Le Parisien.

Speaking to French journalist Bertrand-Regis Louvet, Parker also knocked down rumors that wife Eva Longoria is pregnant. "Not for the moment. Eva and I talk about it but with our careers it isn't the right moment," he says. "Right now, we're enjoying the young married life. Because of the writers' strike, Eva has spent a lot of the last three months with me in San Antonio. When she's working, we see each other less."

For the most part, Parker says 2007 was a "fabulous" year but hit a nasty bump in December when allegations that he had an affair with a French model popped up on the Web.

At the time, Longoria stood up for Parker, calling him "nothing short of the perfect husband."

Around the same time, Parker's attorney released a statement, saying Parker "denies ever having laid eyes on this woman, let alone having had an affair with her."

"I've never hired an attorney in my life, and then all of a sudden, in two weeks, there's three totally false charges brought out," he said, referring to the accusations posted on online.

"What shocked me the most was the wickedness of people," he added. "Without doubt, I'm going to have to protect myself a little more."

Everyone has a MySpace profile, and that includes celebrities, but due to privacy settings not everyone's profile is viewable to the general public. That, however, is apparently not the case as Canadian computer technician Byron Ng has discovered a security hole in Yahoo's integration with MySpace that makes it easy to view the photos for any profile.

To prove this was able to be done, Ng snagged some photos from both Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton's MySpace profiles.

Thanks to a flaw in "data portability", a fad that allows personal information to be shared between social networks and websites, we've got this major security hole that allows anyone to peek at your profile whether you like it or not. It appears that while various companies have been quick to integrate and make it easier for us to add friends to our profiles , they've skimped on security.

Check out the full batch of photos snagged here at Valleywag.

And if you're looking to sneak a peek at your favorite celebrity's private photos, or your secret crush or enemies, Ng has posted instructions on how to take advantage of the security hole. But act fast because MySpace and Yahoo are sure to patch it up soon.

So the IPL ‘Karmayudh’ is finally over, but believe us when we say that the small screen is sure to get more interesting over the weekend. In fact it has never been this gripping before., come Friday the idiot box shall have an all new meaning to itself as TV most awaited battle shall begin and it would be the Khan vs Khan

Yes, after the battle of the states, the idiot box will now feature the war of stars as actor Salman Khan is all set to make his small screen debut with Dus Ka Dum.

With the actor all set to don the host hat, comparisons are already running wild between him and King Khan who is also hosting the much hyped but little glitz show `Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tez Hain`.

But even before the audience deliver their verdict as to who is the Badshah host, Sallu has put all end to any kind of competition by saying that he is better of the two.

In a press conference held by the organisers of the show, Salman said, "We can’t be compared. Our styles are different and mine is much better."

Well is that confidence or over confidence only time will tell, but has Sallu learnt a thing or two form King Khan who has more experience in this game of big bucks.

Apparently Not! As Salman says, that there is no reason why he should take any kind of prompters for King Khan as he is ‘better’ of the two.

Better or not…But what is sure to get his show eyeballs is the big big bucks that the show is offering, about 10 crore, and then of course Salman Khan has been always saying that that he is good to people and not to media.

"The media has often misquoted me. Anything I say is blown out of proportion. With this show I will come closer to people. They ask me questions and I will answer them. So I hope not to be misquoted again".
