What makes Liz Hurley angry?

Elizabeth Hurley has said that she has a short temper and can blow her top in traffic congestion, flight delays and even air fresheners.

While the model-cum-actress has taken it onto her to make peace between former boyfriend Hugh Grant and Matthew Freud, she does not hide the fact that she can also get angry easily.

“It only lasts a few minutes,” said the actress.

She added that her principal irritants include: “Traffic congestion, flight delays, people talking with their mouths full, TV as background noise with no one watching, air fresheners …”

Hurley was less than impressed with Grant for his unseemly brawling with Freud, the PR executive, and now she attempts to broker peace accord between the warring factions.

“Hugh and I have known Matthew for years and we’re all friends. We’re having dinner together soon,” she said.

Sonam Kapoor refuses doing love-scene in presence of her father

Sonam Kapoor may have taken up a daring profession but she is still the quintessential Indian girl at heart. The actress, like any other simple Indian girl, just couldn’t bring herself to shoot an intimate scene in front of her father, Anil Kapoor. Sonam Kapoor was shooting a love-sequence for ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ with Samir Dattani when Anil Kapoor dropped in. The embarrassed girl just couldn’t carry on with the shoot and requested the director Punit Malhotra to help her out.

Sources say that Anil Kapoor’s visit was perhaps calculated as there are rumours of flowering romance between Sonam and the director Punit Malhotra. And the moment Anil made an entry, Sonam turned self-conscious as she happened to be shooting a candlelight dinner scene at a suburban sea-facing lounge.

A source said, "The crew was teasing Sonam about Anil’s probable appearance at the shoot and wondering if she would be able to carry off the scene in front of him. Sonam was confident that she could."

But Sonam’s confidence gave away in front of her father and she could shoot her scenes only after papa Kapoor left the sets.

Samir Dattani confirmed, "Mr Anil Kapoor did drop in on the sets while I was shooting with Sonam. It was a pleasure to have him there."

Princess Diana's home items to be auctioned

Rare antiques from the ancestral home of Diana, Princess of Wales - including a 12 million pound ($18 million) Rubens portrait from the 17th Century - will be offered for sale this summer.

Christie’s auction house said it will sell about 20 million pounds ($30 million) worth of artifacts from Althorp House, in Northamptonshire, central England.

Althorp - Diana’s childhood home and the site of her burial following her 1997 death - is now occupied by Diana’s brother Earl Charles Spencer. He recently announced his engagement to Lady Bianca Eliot, who will become his third wife.

The auction house said the Spencer family hoped to sell off a variety of valuables to invest the funds raised and protect the long-term future of the stately home.

While none of the lots were purchased by Diana, many have been in her family for centuries — including the Rubens portrait, "Commander Being Armed for Battle," owned by the Spencer family since 1802.

The portrait was painted in 1613 and 1614 and depicts a bearded man, believed to be the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, being fitted with his armor.

"This magnificent work by Rubens is one of the most important works by the artist to remain in private hands in the U.K.," said Richard Knight, of Christie’s. "It is a museum-quality masterpiece and will have wide international appeal."

Other lots include English and French furniture, a mid-17th Century painting by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri and 19th Century horse-drawn carriages.

Christie’s said three auctions will take place in London during the summer.

Self-discipline behind Hurley’s figure

Liz Hurley believes being self-disciplined is the key to gain the perfect figure.

The actress insists that slimming products found in market do not guarantee a great body.

“If you take people who aren’t in show business or fashion, then probably I am quite high in the self-discipline stakes,” said Hurley.

She added, “I always say, it has to come down to desire. You have to want to get into your small jeans more than you want to eat chocolate biscuits. That’s all it is. It’s no more than that. It’s just a choice.

“When I lived in California I ate it all the time. The fact is, most slimming stuff on the market is horrific. To keep the calories down it has hydrogenated fat and really unpleasant things.

“Or it’s for the hairy-toe brigade. I love the good life, but I don’t want to eat disgusting green seeds the whole time. I want stuff to be fun and nice.”

Keep checking your Blood Pressure to enjoy Good Health

In this fast moving world one rarely gets time to care about their health issues. Several types of illness are a result. One of such illness which is been suffered by one in three adult is instability in blood pressure. Some suffer of high blood pressure while there are others who are victims of low blood pressure, but of the two I believe that high blood pressure is more severe and can also lead to death.

High blood pressure is also known as hypertension. Heart attacks and Heart Fail are the prime outcome of high blood pressure. In high blood pressure, the blood gets thicker, causing stains in the blood vessels which caries blood to various parts of the body. It seldom leads to blood clotting which ultimately leads to improper blood circulation as a result of which blood does not reach the heart and brain in proper way. This causes damage to heart and the brain. It can also lead to kidney failure.

There are no specific symptoms of high blood pressure, but one can keep a check on it by regularly measuring the blood pressure and forming a blood pressure chart. This chart will help you to track the changes in blood pressure. For measuring the blood pressure one does not have to go to the doctor, but you can measure it at home itself. There are several blood pressure measurement tools available in the open market. One of such tool is the Omron M6 comfort Blood Pressure Monitor. Apart from this there are several other machines. These machines are automatic and they can measure blood pressure at heart level. They have a digital display which shows the exact reading of the blood pressure. You can also take a print out of the readings if you so desire.

So, if you want to keep good health, do keep a regular watch on your Blood Pressure.

Rachel Weisz wins top actress gong

Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz scooped a top prize at Britain’s Laurence Olivier theatre awards for her role in the classic play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’.

Weisz was named best actress for playing fading southern beauty Blanche DuBois in the Tennessee Williams work.

"It means an awful lot. I never thought I would be holding one of these in my lifetime," said Weisz as she accepted the prize.

"Most of all this is for Blanche DuBois, I love her, Tennessee Williams, and all the other messed-up genius poets out there," added the actress, who won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 2006 for ‘The Constant Gardener’.

The surprise winner of the night was 28 year old, US playwright Katori Hall, whose work ‘The Mountaintop’ won the best new play award, beating off stiff competition from popular shows ‘Enron’ and ‘Jerusalem’.

Her play follows Martin Luther King the night before his assassination. She is the first black female playwright to win the award.

"I want to thank the London audience for teaching me that this was a story that needed to be heard around the world," she said.

Mark Rylance was named best actor for his role as anti-hero Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron in ‘Jerusalem’, the second time he has won the award.

And Maggie Smith was recognized for her outstanding contribution to the theatre.

Her cinematic career has included two Oscars, including best actress in 1970 for the ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’. More recently, she has played Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter films.

Deepika Padukone unfazed by rumours

Model turned bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who’s been linked to Farhan Akhtar, Shahid Kapoor and most recently liquor baron Vijay Mallya’s son Siddharth, is unfazed by the rumours and says she has learnt to accept the fact that all this comes with the work she does.

"It makes no difference to me because I know that I am leading a life I want. I understand that it comes with the work I do and I am fine with it. I am very happy with my life and the work I am doing," Padukone, who was in the capital to inaugurate the Power Biking Studio of Anatomy Health Club, told reporters. Also present were ace badminton players Saina Nehwal and P. Gopichand.

The actress is also shooting for her new film "Break Ke Baad" starring Imran Khan in Delhi.

A self-confessed fitness freak, Deepika feels that regular workouts, yoga, healthy eating and positive thinking is what makes her look fit.

"I think everybody’s body type is different and it reacts differently to different work outs. It is important for you to understand what suits your body and exercise accordingly," she said.

"I do a lot of yoga. Although I eat everything but at the same time I know there are certain kinds of food that I put on weight with so I try to avoid them. I think eating healthy, regular workouts and positive thinking can help anybody look better," she added.

Unlike other Bollywood actresses, the 24-year-old doesn’t believe in being size zero.

"I don’t think it is healthy to be size zero. The Indian body is not cut out to be size zero. It is always nice to look healthy," Deepika added.

She also refuses to take the tag of being the lucky mascot for Mallya’s IPL team Banglore Royal Challengers.

"I think if the team is playing well the credit should go to all the players. It is very unfair to say that I am the lucky mascot and give me the credit," she said.

Kim Cattrall refuses to go under the knife

The star of ‘Sex And The City’, actress Kim Cattrall has refused to undergo cosmetic surgery, because she’s scared her face will become unrecognisable if she goes under the knife.

The 53 year old has so far shunned medical treatment to alter her looks, and although she’s not ruled out procedures in the future, Cattrall is wary about drastically changing her image.

"I don’t think ‘not for me’, I just don’t know yet. I think in some cases men and women are dipping - deep! But I don’t think I’m ready for it," she said.

"I think the greatest fear is that you look in the mirror and you don’t see you. I like to look in the mirror and think I look good. I try and take care of myself, but I don’t ever want to get to the point where I don’t see myself, that would be really scary," she added.

Catherine Zeta Jones left embarrassed

Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta Jones was left embarrassed when Brad Pitt and George Clooney saw her without make-up and she wishes she could have more privacy on the sets.

"They are just cool guys. I was brought up with five brothers so as girly as I was, you just have to go with the guys sometimes. But the worst thing is when you’re really tired and you think of the solace of a make-up room,” said Zeta Jones.

"Sitting next to Brad Pitt and George Clooney when you look like you-know-what, it’s not nice at six in the morning. I don’t think any woman should have to do it."

Angelina Jolie funded Afghanistan school for 800 girls

The primary school for girls, which Angelina Jolie funded in Tangi, Afghanistan, is all set to open its doors to 800 students.

Angelina, the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, visited a refugee settlement in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province and donated a whopping 75,000 dollars toward the school’s construction.

The school is set to begin classes next Monday, when their school year begins.

Although UNICEF built classrooms in the area accommodating 1300 students two years ago, many parents hesitated, for cultural reasons, to send their daughters to a school also used by boys.

"I always had hopes and dreams of going to school. The hope to become a qualified teacher has revived in me,” Us magazine quoted a 14-year-old girl named Laila, as expressing her excitement about the new school.

Igbal Azizi, head of the region’s provincial education, stressed the importance of Jolie’s gift, saying that Tangi girls, "otherwise would have been deprived of education."

However, Jolie, filming ‘The Tourist’ in Venice, Italy, failed to make it for the new school’s celebration.

Bar Refaeli asked to dump beau Leonardo DiCaprio

An Israeli nationalist group has urged Bar Refaeli to dump American boyfriend, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, and settle down with a Jewish husband.

It is reported that Baruch Marzel, an Israeli politician sent a letter on behalf of the Lehava organisation.

"It is not by chance that you were born Jewish. Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descendants would one day remove the family’s future generations from the Jewish people. Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people," stated the letter.

Marzel added that he has "nothing against Mr DiCaprio, who I have no doubt is a talented actor, Come to your senses, look forward and back too and not only the present. Don’t marry Leonardo DiCaprio, don’t harm the future generations."

The supermodel, who has been dating DiCaprio since 2005, was forced to deny rumours about her engagement earlier this month after she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

Mehr Jessia to host fashion shows for IPL 3

Bollywood star Arjun Rampal and his model wife Mehr Jessia are on the seventh heaven for their company has got a plum contract to organise fifty five amazing fashion shows and parties for the upcoming IPL season three.

Both Arjun and Mehr are excited about their new venture concerning the IPL, which begins today. Their company will be handling fashion shows and lavish parties after every match. With Bollywood celebrities adding extra zing, the fashion shows will be high on glitz and glamour.

Interestingly, Mehr Jessia and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi were behind the idea of holding fashion event and ritzy parties. Talking to a news daily, an elated Mehr says, “There will be 55 fashion shows and 55 parties in all.”

When enquired about the post IPL match parties, Mehr said, “You don’t have to drink to be at a party. Besides, it would just bring all the cricketers under one roof. When we saw some of the matches in the first season, we had observed that the cricketers wanted to be together every evening. So what can be a better idea than this?”

“Another interesting aspect is that every team will have a specific ambience. The host of the party will be the team in whose city the match is played. Like if KKR is playing Mumbai Indians in Mumbai, then Mumbai Indians will be the hosts.”

Though the one-time fashion icon was reluctant to disclose the names of the top models participating in the event, Mehr said, “We will have all the top fashion designers - Shantanu & Nikhil, Manish Malhotra, Rocky S, Anamika Khanna, to name just a few.”

Finally, when enquired whether Arjun and Mehr will make it to every event, “That won’t be possible because at times there are two matches on a given day. There is no commitment on that. But we promise everybody a gala time,” added Mehr.

Lindsay Lohan’s fashion adventure ends

Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan’s design career has ended after a single collection for Parisian label Emanuel Ungaro, leaving the fashion world divided over whether her work was a disaster or a much-needed bit of fun.

She failed to show up at the label’s show, leaving the owners groping for reasons.

"Lindsay is not involved in it," said Asim Abdullah, one of the owners.

Ungaro designer Estrella Archs, who worked with Lohan on last year’s widely panned show of butt-revealing dresses and strippers’ nip stickers, showed her second Ungaro collection on Monday. She said Lohan had no hand in it.

"You have up and downs and you learn a lot, more from the downs than from the ups," Archs told reporters backstage when asked about the dire reviews of last year’s show with Lohan, who acted as artistic adviser. Abdullah’s reason for Lindsay not showing up was in contradiction to the announcement six weeks back when the label said Lindsay would be at the helm.

"I had the best time at the Razzies. It is what it is and, you know, it probably means more that both of them (awards) happened at the same time because it’s the great equalizer. Nothing ever lets me get too full of myself. It quickly chops me off at the knees, and I like it that way because it keeps things stable.

"They’ll sit side by side in a nice little shelf somewhere; the Razzie maybe on a different shelf, lower."

Deepika Padukone all set to rekindle love affair

Few days back, there were reports about Ranbir Kapoor making frantic attempts to get his ex-girl Deepika back, but then the stunning beauty had denied giving in to Ranbir’s pleas of reconciliation. However, according to the latest buzz, both Ranbir and Dips now seem equally interested in a possible patch up, as they appear very much willing to start a fresh love relationship.

Grapevine has it that that Deepika and Ranbir are apparently making efforts to bury their ugly break-up as the two are constantly in touch with each other through texting messages these days.

A source reveals that Ranbir and Deepika don’t want to make much noise about their plans to get back together, so both are trying to keep a low profile as far as their relationship is concerned.

Well, in that case, Ranbir and Deepika might be looking forward to rekindle past affair, but their bonding with Priyanka and Shahid respectively could surely be affected!

Aamir Khan bags a mind-blowing ad deal

Aamir Khan has made a record after bagging a deal of Rs 35 crores with a UAE-based telecommunications service provider. The actor, who is perhaps at the highest point of his career, has left behind his contemporaries like the Bachchans and the Khans to bag the enormous deal.

According to reports, it’s the highest endorsement deal ever in Bollywood. The deal includes a two-year contract during which period Aamir is expected to make himself available for an allotted number of media shoots, press advertisements and personal appearances.

According to advertisement guru Prahlad Kakkar, "That is a hell of a lot of money to pay. Aamir has indeed come a long way. But it isn’t surprising; he brings a great degree of single-minded exclusivity to a brand. Associating with Aamir is also a plus for the product in another sense because he is very particular about the script, his own image and the image of the product he endorses."

The actor, who is already a brand ambassador for several companies like Parle, Coca-Cola, Tata Sky and Samsung, has now added yet another big name to his endorsement kitty.

And even though many say that it is his recent hit ‘3 Idiots’ that has got him the deal, sources state that the deal was inked before the film released.

Nicole Scherzinger back to Lewis Hamilton

Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has reunited with the ‘Pussycat Dolls’ singer Nicole Scherzinger after parting ways in January to focus on their career.

He added: “She’s away focusing on her album and she’s got a couple of really cool things coming up so she’ll be working.

"If she can come, if she surprises me, then fantastic but I know that she’s got work so maybe next time.

"You make it work. You do it any way you can. When something is worth it you do it."

Meanwhile, Scherzinger has signed up for the next season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’.

Deepika Padulone driven by work and variety

After a dream debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’, Deepika Padukone consolidated her position by delivering winning performances in hits like ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and ‘Karthik Calling Karthik.’ Once a successful model, Deepika broke the popular myth that models can’t act. The actress, who had a bitter breakup with Ranbir Kapoor did not let her personal failure overshadow her professional life and silenced all critics with her acting prowess.

Enjoying a huge fan base and a flourishing B-town career, Deepika is the new ‘it’ girl of Bollywood who has every reason to cheer.

Talking to a news daily on her tinsel town journey, a confident and ebullient Deepika Padukone said, “I’ve always been driven by work and variety attracts me. I’ve never been afraid of doing something just because it’s different. In fact, each role that I have portrayed on screen so far has been in stark contrast from the other.”

Post the success of ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’, Deepika has been romantically linked to Farhan. When prodded on her odd-pairing with Farhan, Deepika said, “Who defines what’s usual and unusual? I don’t see how Farhan and I are any different from the other on-screen ‘jodis’ in terms of complimenting each other. If two actors are cast opposite one another it’s because they suit their particular roles and make a good on-screen pair. Initially, I was intimidated by Farhan. But then I saw he was so chilled out and just like the other leading men I’ve worked with - fun and focused.”

After playing an independent girl in ‘Love Aaj Kal’, the actress will be seen in a period film. “I’m playing Kaplana Dutta in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘Khelenge Jee Jaan Se.’ It’s a completely different world and at the same time a very important part of history. It’s a great responsibility for someone like me and I have to do justice to the character,” quips Deepika.

Besides the period drama, Deepika will be seen in Sajid Khan’s rib-tickling comedy ‘Housefull’. The actress is excited about her latest project as she said, “Comedy is the toughest thing to do. Especially Sajid’s brand of comedy where you have a tough time enacting a scene because you just can’t control your laughter,” she says with palpable excitement.

Avril Lavigne turns a designer

Singer Avril Lavigne has created a special line of designs to coincide with the release of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, which stars Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.

"I went through binders of images from the film to get inspiration for the clothing. We ended up using a lot of the floral prints, which were the flowers with the faces, and the verbiage like ‘Shrink me’. It was kind of like anything and everything”, said Avril.

"My favourite is the white T-shirt with the rabbit stopwatch on it because it’s the iconic stopwatch."

The items include T-shirts, hoodies and shorts and are all under 50 dollar.

Lavigne launched her clothing range Abbey Dawn in September last year.

This is what the director has to say about the number one heroine of Bollywood. “Kat will definitely be in ‘Dostana 2’, come what may”, says Tarun. With the same confidence, Ritesh goes “We’re working towards getting Kat in our film for sure.” But when asked to Imitiaz about his plans to handle the situation, he reportedly said that he is looking for a new Kashmiri girl to be cast alongside Ranbir for his upcoming ‘Rockstar’.
