It's funny - I noticed something a couple of years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies I was doing and my life off screen.” "It started with The Good Girl. Then that evolved into Rumor Has It, followed by Derailed, and then there was The Break-Up. And then on the lighter side was Friends with Money, which I felt was a bit on the nose."

B-town’s latest obsession happens to be knocking off as many kilos as possible…

This is one meltdown that everyone in B-town is celebrating. Stars are sweating it out, sacrificing calories just to get the right measure. The weight loss posed a strange problem recently when a 10 kilos lighter Vidya Balan reported for the continuity shots of Ishqiya and all her costumes fell off the new lithe frame! But debutant director Abhishek Chaubey wasn’t complaining for he admitted that his heroine was indeed looking “gorgeous” after the load-shed. Vidya clarifies, “10 kilos is a misnomer but I am surely feeling healthier and fitter now.”Ditto Rani Mukerji who bought Rs 7 lakh-worth of fitness equipment to tone up for a solo song in her forthcoming YRF venture, Hadippa.Reportedly, the actor sacrificed sugar and mutton for her new form. A rigorous yoga regimen expedited her weight-loss further. Priyanka Chopra knocked off her curves for the supermodel role in Fashion while Kareena Kapoor shot to fame with her “size-zero” two-piece role in Tashan as she traded her favourite sandwiches and Chinese food for dietician Rujuta Diwekar’s “frequent mini-meals” formula.Sonam Kapoor shrugged off her 80-plus kilos girth for a svelte form in her debut venture Saawariya.

Kat Shows She Still Cares

Kat Shows She Still Cares….

It’s standard in Tinseltown that when loved-up couples hit the rocks, the lovebirds quickly collect themselves and pose for happy-couple shots for the media in a lame effort to shut off rumours of what’s going on behind closed doors. Well, the scene was no different in B-town: first we hear about Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s allegedly nasty break-up, with Sallu throwing Kat’s shampoo out of the window and Kat supposedly having an SMS link-up with John Abraham. But now we see Kat rushing to be by Sallu’s side. Clearly, she’s out to prove her love is real and that she’s here to stay!
