Bigg Boss 6: Imam’s Facebook fans still lament his loss



Ever since Imam Siddiqui’s entered the famous house in Bigg Boss 6, he has hogged the limelight with his antics and also for the way he entertained controversies. He won the Best Entertainer award on the Indian reality show for 'entertaining' his fans so well.

After Bigg Boss Season 6 got over, Imam Siddiqui’s Facebook fan page has become the new craze.

The page was created in November and within two months he has over 26,000 fans. Each one of them believe that Imam truly deserved to win Bigg Boss 6 instead of Urvashi Dholakia.

“I was watching d show only because of Imam only. He is the winner time out (sic),” posted Nitin Kumar Gupta on the FB page.

Imam often got into spats with his fellow contestants and even stripped on the show following which he was thrown out of the show. He soon reentered to rescue to dipping TRP’s, however his misdemeanor continued.

Urvashi Dholakia, the winner of the show eventually, and someone who dons the role of a popular vamp on the daily soaps, on the other hand, was calm and a relatively balanced individual.

But Imam’s fans have a different opinion. Chhinder Pal posted: “It is so great on part of Imam, who disowned his true victory in favour of Urvashi, who surely got very less votes than Imam. It might be selfishness of Colors TV to declare their daily soap actress as BB winner, but the person who won hearts of People, is one and only one Imam Siddiqui.”

Clearly, Imam's fans are not ready to let go of their grievance quickly since they believe that no one deserved to win more than the personality that Imam presented to the world while he was in the house.

This will make for some interesting watch and reactions when it is time for Bigg Boss 7 to commence.

Stardust Awards 2013: Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka are big winners

SRK won Star of the Year (Male) and Best Actor (Editor's Choice) for Jab Tak Hai Jan. Priyanka took home Star of the Year (Female) and Best Actress (Drama) for Barfi!. 


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra took home two trophies each at the Stardust Awards. Shah Rukh Khan won the Star of the Year (Male) trophy along with Best Actor (Editor's Choice) for Jab Tak Hai Jan. While Priyanka bagged the Star of the Year (Female) award and Best Actress (Drama) awards for Barfi!.

Surprisingly, Ranbir Kapoor, who has won almost all the Best Actor awards this year for his performance in Barfi!, was completely overlooked at the awards night that was held in Mumbai on January 26, 2013. Ranbir aside, almost everyone who is anyone in Bollywood scored a prize, with the notable exception of Salman Khan, who had two blockbusters last year with Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2.

Sridevi shared Best Actress (Drama) for English Vinglish with Priyanka. Best Actor (Drama) went to Hrithik Roshan for his performance in Agneepath. Sanjay Dutt was named the Best Actor in Negative Role for Agneepath.

Vidya Balan continued her winning streak with the award for Best Actress (Thriller / Action) for Kahaani. Akshay Kumar was named the Best Actor in the same category for Rowdy Rathore and Khiladi 786.

Anushka Sharma and Abhishek Bachchan took home Best Actress and Actor (Comedy/Romance) for Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Bol Bachchan respectively. Amitabh Bachchan received the Star of the Century award.

Manoj Bajpayee and Ayushmann Khurrana shared the Best Actor trophy for Gangs Of Wasseypur and Vicky Donor repectively. Director Farah Khan scooped up a surprise Best Actress win for her on-screen debut in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi.

Ishaqzaade stars Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra were chosen Superstars of Tomorrow. The Best Debut award was shared by Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra for Student Of The Year. Gauri Shinde was named Best Debut Director for English Vinglish.

Shoojit Sircar won the award for Best Director for Vicky Donor, which was also adjudged the Best Film at the ceremony. However, and confusingly, Film Of The Year went to Barfi!.

And last but not the least, Bipasha Basu was named the Best Style Icon Of The Year.

Celebrities added glitz and glamour as they walked the red carpet in style.

Sonakshi Sinha wore a blue off-shoulder Marchesa dress and Anushka Sharma was chic in black Armani.

Vidya Balan was yet again seen in a sari by her favourite designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Style Icon Of The Year winner Bipasha Basu looked glamorous in a Gucci dress and a new hairdo.

Box Office Report: 'Hansel & Gretel' Stalls; 'Parker,' 'Movie 43' Flop

Paramount and MGM's R-rated version of the classic fairy tale stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton; "Movie 43" draws a D CinemaScore despite its star-studded ensemble cast.


The domestic box office took a pounding Friday as a trio of new films underwhelmed.

After a healthy start Thursday night, Paramount and MGM's R-rated Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters slowed Friday night, grossing $6.1 million for the day to place No. 1 and earning a B CinemaScore.

That puts the Jeremy Renner-Gemma Arterton film on course for a $17 million weekend, notably less than expected (it had looked like Hansel & Gretel would hit $25 million). Some Hollywood studio executives blamed bad weather in the mid-Atlantic and in the west for Friday's sobering results.

Hansel & Gretel, costing $50 million to produce, could make up ground overseas. It opened in Russia last weekend to a healthy $8.6 million, placing No. 1.

The news was all-out dismal for the Jason Statham-Jennifer Lopez action-thriller Parker as well as Movie 43, featuring one of the most star-studded ensemble casts ever mounted.

Parker posted an opening-day gross of $2.1 million to come in No. 5 behind Hansel & Gretel, Mama, Silver Linings Playbook and Zero Dark Thirty. The pic now is expected to gross $6.3 million for the weekend versus $8 million to $10 million.

Directed by Taylor Hackford (Ray), Parker is being distributed domestically by FilmDistrict. Moviegoers gave the pic a B+ CinemaScore.

Movie 43, drawing a D CinemaScore, grossed $1.8 million for a projected weekend take of only $5 million.

STORY: 'Movie 43': What the Critics Are Saying

The roster of stars appearing in Movie 43 -- a series of comic shorts and the brainchild of Peter Farrelly -- includes Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, Halle Berry, Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts and many others. A raft of filmmakers and talent directed the various vignettes, including Elizabeth Banks, Brett Ratner, Griffin Dunne and Bob Odenkirk.

Relativity Media spent a modest $6 million to make Movie 43 and says it was a creative risk worth taking.
Universal's horror pic Mama, produced by Guillermo del Toro, continued to benefit from its teen friendly PG-13 rating, placing No. 2 on its second Friday with $3.9 million and pushing its total to $39.7 million.
Academy Award contenders continue to lure audiences. The Weinstein Co.'s Silver Linings Playbook, directed by David O. Russell, continued to shine one week after expanding nationwide, grossing $2.34 million for domestic cume of $61.8 million.

Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, from Sony and Annapurna Pictures, all but tied with Silver Linings on Friday, grossing $2.32 million for a domestic total of $62.4 million.

Movie review: Race 2 - Sizzling Buzz Really Hot


Cast:Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ameesha Patel, Anil Kapoor
Director: Abbas-Mustan

SPOILERS AHEAD


A significant chunk of Mumbai filmdom’s creative output has changed for the better since the year 2008, the first quarter of which saw the release of Race, a Hollywood rip-off that had Bollywood critics run for cover.

Nearly five years on, the directing duo of Abbas-Mustan is still at it – cantering around aimlessly with a convoluted thriller that zips, zaps and zooms through an amoral landscape peopled by sharks and bloodhounds whose only trip in life is to settle old scores, hatch new conspiracies and, when necessary, lay murderous traps.

On the face of it, Race 2 is a glitzy, action-packed entertainer. Scratch the surface – in fact, that is all there is to the film – and what you are left with is superficial style bereft of logic and substance.

But, then, isn’t that the failsafe formula that has stood many a Bollywood pulp-maker in good stead over the years?

Race 2 proves how difficult it can be for a producer to let go of an idea that yielded a box-office bonanza the first time around. The makers of this film obviously haven’t heard of, or do not believe in, the law of diminishing returns.

Race 2 isn’t so much a sequel as an ill-advised rehash. Revenge, one character says, is a dish best served cold. Ideas, for sure, aren’t best served stale.

This is the second year in succession after 2012’s Players that Abbas-Mustan have the honour of unleashing the first Bollywood biggie of the year. Race 2, like Players, is big only on nausea-inducing clatter.

The obvious question is: does this slapdash scurry to the finishing line really have the steam to replicate the kind of runaway box-office success that the prelude had enjoyed?

Or will Race 2 go the way of the wayward Players, the Burmawalla siblings’ official Hindi remake of the British crime caper flick, The Italian Job?

At the heart of Race 2 are two wrangling men endowed with sculpted bodies and an ingrained air of masculine insouciance.

The brawny John Abraham (replacing the relatively scrawny Akshaye Khanna of the earlier film) ensures that the sequel has a markedly higher beefcake and testosterone quotient.

Keeping the boys company is a trio of bimbos all too eager to flash generous décolletage while playing second fiddle. All of the above is, of course, par for the course in an Abbas-Mustan film.

Many of the faces and the principal location have changed in the sequel, but the overall veneer is pretty much the same.

Race 2 is slickly packaged around dramatic twists and turns that fly at you thicker and faster than you care to count.

Race 2 moves at a fair clip and is packed with explosions, stunts and chases that might be crowd-pleasing. The trouble is that the narrative is too breathless for its own good.

To be fair, some of the implausible action sequences are startlingly good. However, they do not add up to a convincing enough whole that can paper over the holes in the narrative.

Some Bollywood directors tend to labour under the misplaced belief that a film must be crammed, end to end, with relentless excitement, extravagant dance routines and ear-splitting background music for it to find ready takers. Excess does not always yield success.

The action in Race 2 takes place in Turkey, where, we learn, that the Indian underworld is just as active as it is back home.

Ranveer Singh (Saif Ali Khan), a rare remnant from Race, scours the hot spots of Istanbul in search of the mastermind behind the killing of his beloved Sonia (Bipasha Basu in a cameo).

In his risky quest, Ranveer has to contend with a slew of men and women who, like him, are out to make a quick buck and get the hell out of here.

And, of course, there is ex-cop Robert D’Costa (Anil Kapoor), the only man who Ranvir seemed to be at ease with when the curtains came down on the first film.

The private eye has a gloriously daft female assistant in the form of Ameesha Patel. The actress isn’t seen much these days on the screen. Just as well!

Istanbul generally looks great as a backdrop through the lens of Ravi Yadav’s camera and much of the film is rather easy on the eye. But when the cars and bloodthirsty men get in the way, they only serve to muck up the view.

As for the women on the screen (Deepika Padukone and Jacqueline Fernandez), they strut around like wound-up automatons that are all decked-up but have nowhere to go.

Is Race 2 on your mind? Get rid of it pronto. This is a wreck of a movie strictly for action junkies who might be looking for a feverish two-and-a-half-hour ride that is far more giddy than heady.

American Idol Finalists Defend Show Against Allegations of Racism

A quartet of former finalists have come out and vehemently denies charges that American Idol is racist.


Melinda Doolittle (Season 6), Vonzell Solomon (Season 4), Taylor Hicks (Season 5) and Casey Abrams (Season 10) all spoke to TMZ this week and defended the program against charges from nine other finalists that claim Idol shows a racial bias in disqualifying contestants.



Here is what each ex-Idol hopeful had to say:

Doolittle: "It is shocking to see such allegations. In my experience on the show, the 'Idol' team strives to champion everyone, regardless of race. However, each contestant is explicitly told that the withholding of information that may compromise the show or artist, can and will result in immediate disqualification."

Solomon: "I didn’t experience any of that [racial discrimination] ... all of our contracts were clear about how the background checks worked and that we could be disqualified if we lied about our past."

Hicks: "American Idol is for everyone. All walks of life go through the show. Not once did I see the show discriminate towards anyone. It’s all about the votes."

Abrams: I don't know why they are biting the hand that fed them. Those guys beat thousands of people who wanted to be on TV. Idol is picky, but I'm not sure about racist.

Miley Cyrus strikes again!

Miley Cyrus Shocks Again With Racy New Cosmo Cover


Just when we think she can’t shock us anymore, she outdoes herself. The 20-year-old former Disney star is rocking the March cover of Cosmopolitan in nothing more than a white blazer and low-slung white pants … and no shirt or bra.

See More From The Miley Cyrus Story in Cosmopolitan

Add this racy look to the plethora of things the “Can’t Be Tamed” singer has done to raise eyebrows over the years: the risqué clothing, provocative photos, drug dalliances, that haircut, and her shocking engagement to Liam Hemsworth at the age of 19. But not only does she not care what we think, Cyrus has zero regrets over how it all went down.

"Some of the worst things that have happened in my career, like things getting leaked, have actually been what's best for me, because people knew when I was on [‘Hannah Montana’] that I was really growing up,” she tells the magazine. “I never faked anything. I never played the Disney game of smiling and being a princess and then suddenly having a hard time, saying, ‘That isn't who I really am.’”

Miley Cyrus’ Best Looks Of All Time
That same attitude is being applied as she plans her upcoming wedding to the “Hunger Games” actor, who popped the question last May with a 3.5-carat ring. Don’t expect it to be a big “who’s who in Hollywood” kind of ordeal, like Kim Kardashian’s $10 million fiasco.

“I feel the bigger the wedding, the more it becomes a target for people to ruin,” says Cyrus. “So we just want it to be small, with the people who we’d take bullets for. I don’t want to be looking at those photos and see people that I wish hadn’t been there. C’mon, I can’t even get coffee without a million paparazzi following me, so I don’t know why anyone thinks I’m going to have this huge, extravagant wedding. That is so not who I am."

Over-The-Top Celeb Engagement Rings




Regardless of the kind of wedding they have, Cyrus already considers Hemsworth “her hubby,” which she let slip during the interview while describing how awestruck she still is by his good looks, four years after they met during the filming of “The Last Song.”

“I’ll literally look at him and be like ‘You are hot, dear God!’” she gushes to Cosmo. “The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool. I was like, ‘I’m gonna faint – the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.’ So I took a photo and made it my background on my phone and was like, ‘Who’s that? He is so hot!’ That’s my hubby.”

The Hottest Celebrity Short Hairstyles

Although Cyrus continues to have both acting and music careers, she insists that her husband-to-be remains her top priority. “Number one is my relationship with Liam,” says Cyrus, whose fourth album, a blend of hip-hop and metal featuring Mary J. Blige and Tyler the Creator, is set to be released very soon. “That’s what I feel the most confident in because you never know; there’s so much hype behind my new record, but it could come out and, worst-case scenario, everyone f--king hates it.”

Shocking Celebs Who Look Exactly Alike

And as for her competition, Cyrus isn’t looking to leave them in her dust on the charts. “Katy Perry’s been my friend for f--king five years, and I’m not ever gonna let our work get between that relationship,” she insists. “If Katy sticks with being Katy, and Ke$ha is Ke$ha, and Rihanna is Rihanna, and I’m me, there’s room for everybody.”
