Bipasha Basu loves to be called Sexy
Bipasha Basu in Shob Charitro Kalponik
Bollywood bombshell Bipasha Basu may be playing the deglamourised role of a housewife in her first Bengali movie but the actress says she is happy with the “sexy” tag as a girl-next-door look never interested her.

"I love being sexy and I would be happy if people call me sexy even when I turn 100. I would love to be called a sexy grandmother. The tag has never bothered me," said Bipasha.

"If a woman says she does not want to be called attractive then she is foolish. I like being exclusive, the girl-next-door image has never interested me. It is too boring," the actress, who started her Bollywood career with bold characters in "Jism" and "Raaz", says.

She, however, believes "sexiness" is not only related to having a good body.

"Sexiness is not only about having a great body. It is about how you carry yourself, your confidence, your self respect, these help you look attractive. I am sexy with a mind. It is a complete package."

The Bengali beauty is portraying the character of Radhika in Rituparno Ghosh’s movie "Shob Charitro Kalponik", which deals with love and loss through the story of a woman,
who goes on a path of self discovery after the death of her poet-husband.

The film sees Bipasha depicting the role of a "mature" woman in a saree - a character which does not come her way in the industry very often.

"Being a Bengali, I always wanted to do a film in my native language. My parents have grown up watching Bengali cinema and it was my father’s wish that I do a Bengali film
since I came into acting," she says about her first movie in the language.

"It is a very deep and matured role; that is why I was attracted to the character. It is multi-layered. I have never done something like that before. Unfortunately, you don’t come across such characters in Hindi cinema because the audience demand is different here," says Bipasha.

The film, also starring Bengali superstar Prosenjit Chatterjee, has already garnered critical appreciation and has been screened at the prestigious Durban Film Festival
recently.

Monica Bellucci dislikes to work out
Monica BellucciHollywood actress Monica Bellucci prefers wearing black for a slimmer look as she hates hitting the gym to cut on the extra flab.

The 44-year-old model-and-actress, who has four-year-old daughter Deva with husband Vincent Cassel, insists she is too busy to work out, so uses clever clothing choices to disguise any lumps and bumps.

"Going to the gym is impossible with my kind of life. Get up at 5am to get to a gym and then be on set at six? Impossible. So instead of going to the gym I dress in black. A lot more practical and lots more fun," says the “Malena” star.

Apart from black, Bellucci also has a fetish for classic red as it instantly reminded the actress of her mother and grandmother who used to put on her red lipstick before going to church.

"I do love lipstick though, I have loads of them. Mostly neutrals and nudes. But once in a while I’ll put on a classic red, and it instantly reminds me of my mother and my grandmother. She still had her femininity, I hope I am like that," the actress said.

"If I do a role where I have to lose weight, I can do that. I eat meat, fish and vegetables and I lose it right away. But sometimes I do a role where I have to gain weight, and I can tell you I prefer that. It has to come from inside," she added.

The Italian beauty insists she is not particular about beauty, claiming the only way to look good is to accept your flaws and make peace with your appearance.

They found that Biel was the riskiest US celebrity target, with one in five celebrity websites related to her being potentially harmful.

Second in line as the most dangerous star in cyberspace is Beyonce, followed closely by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady at the third spot.

Shift to Unmetered Virtual Private Server
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is fast taking over from Shared Hosting. Shared Hosting service providers are too expensive and act as a hindrance to the users who are on the lookout for complete control. They typically use web based control panel system like cPanel, Ensim, InterWorx, H-Sphere or custom developed control panels which seldom create controversies. All these flaws can be ended by using VPS.

VPS is a process which divides physical server computer into multi-servers, and each division has its own control system on which it runs, restarts and reboots. It provides you with better control and allots you with partition within a server exclusively to you. This partition acts as a mini-server where all your application such as PHP, MySQL Database, Bandwidth, and even your own operating system can be customized according to your requirements. These VPS hosting are much cheaper than Shared Hosting and start as low as $20 per month or $40 per month for a well managed plan.

There are various VPS providers, but one of the most popular of them being Abdicar Communications. It is famous for its 100% unmetered hosting services in Bandwidth, MySQL Data Base, E-Mail accounts, Disk Space, Domain Names, Sub-Domains, as a result of which there is no hidden cost.

Penelope Cruz doesn't mind looking bad
Penelope CruzPenelope Cruz has said that she does not really care if she is looking bad in a film, as long as it fits the character she is playing.

"I am never concerned if I have to look bad. I don’t care if I look good. You do whatever is necessary to give the character what it needs. It’s important not to be selfish”, said the actress.

"You get used to looking at yourself. I make sure I am a piece of clay and give whatever that character needs inside and outside. I have a physique that can change and transform."

The “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” star dislikes actresses complaining about how they looked when they were young.

She added: "You always end up reading stories about actresses who say they were the ugly duckling in school. I think we have had enough of these stories.”

"I would probably say the same. We all feel that about ourselves, developing, becoming a woman. But if I read another story about another actress complaining about the way she looked at school, please not one again!"
Therapy helped Danielle Lloyd to cope up
Danielle LloydEnglish glamour model Danielle Lloyd resorted to therapy to cope with meltdown following racist row with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

While the audiences eventually forgave her housemates, Jade Goody and Danielle remained the subject of hatred.

"I’d have drunk myself to death or taken my own life,” said the model.

"I’d hit my lowest point – I’d lost control and wondered what it would be like not to be alive. I was drinking because I had no other way of coping,” she added.

Her meltdown actually began a year ago with the discovery of an abusive web page on Facebook called ‘I hate Danielle Lloyd’, followed by a series of broken relationships.

She was subsequently referred to therapist Veronica Callanan who has helped boost her self-esteem and taught her to overcome feeling of worthlessness.

"Therapy saved my life. Without it, I don’t know what would have happened," she said.

"My main problem was a fear that I’d never find love. Veronica showed me I was attracted to the wrong person because I didn’t value myself,” she added.

The 25-year-old beauty, who’s currently dating Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara, 22, insists that the therapist had told her to learn to love herself.

"Therapy taught me how to be in a relationship. I used to be insecure, but I trust Jamie completely. I’m a different person now and feel I need to talk about my counselling so other people in my situation realise they can get help too,” she added.
