When Jiah did belly dancing!

Young actress Jiah Khan is making waves even before the release of her debut film "Nishabd". After crooning a song for the film's music video, Jiah, who is a trained dancer, has now turned choreographer for it.

While shooting for the video, Jiah's dance movements impressed the choreographer so much that he bade her to do her own thing for a sequence, say witnesses. Jiah obliged with some belly dancing and hip shaking, just like Latin sensation Shakira.

The music video is all set to scorch the silver screen soon, according to those who sneaked a peek at the video. The wait to watch Jiah make her moves will be worth it, they add.

Demi Moore poses nude despite hubby's wishes

While hubby Ashton Kutcher had forbidden her to get naked for a photo shoot, actress Demi Moore admits she found the whole idea so enjoying she couldn't resist shedding off her clothes for a set of intimate portraits by famous photographer Mario Testino.

Ashton hired Testino to come to their home and take a set of intimate pictures of the 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' actress for her 41st birthday present, but ordered that there be “no nudes”.

Demi confessed in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine: “Of course Ashton said, 'No nudes', and the first thing Mario said to us is “Let's get naked”.

“Mario has an incredible sense of play, which makes the experience more enjoyable,” Hollywoodrag.com quoted her, as adding.

Mario later used one of the shots from the intimate shoot with Indecent Proposal star on the cover of his new book 'Let Me In'.

Bipasha is afraid of dancing!

Bipasha gives due credit for the impact of her item song in Omkara to her playback singer. "I'm flattered to see everyone else performing to my Beedi song.

I've been watching Bigg Boss, and I'm delighted to see the female contestants almost invariably requesting my Beedi number and dancing to it like crazy. Sunidhi Chauhan is a goddess. Her singing is so powerful. She added another dimension to my dancing."

As a rule Bipasha is still petrified of singing and dancing. "Dhoom 2 may look like a fun film to do. But it was a challenge. Singing and dancing are challenging for me. I do enjoy it more now than I did earlier. But I'm still nervous about it."

Bipasha is looking forward to her new film. "I'm working opposite Saif in Race for the first time. It has lots of stars in it. And I'm one of them. I've accepted the fact that I'm the queen of multi-starrers. From now on I'll be only doing multi-starrers," she jokes.

"I've made an impact no matter how big the cast. Whether it's Omkara or Dhoom 2 I've been noticed, and talked about."

She's very happy with the progress she has made. "I'm getting there, I know that. I may be taking baby steps. But every role should add something to my character."

Posh offered Playboy Photo shoot

Soon after the news spread that England soccer star David Beckham has signed a five-year deal with Los Angeles Galaxy club, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner reportedly made a bold bid to land Victoria Beckham for a saucy Playboy shoot.

On hearing the news of Becks signing his new contract, Hugh's Playmate 'girlfriends' Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison immediately offered the former Spice Girl the chance to join them on a photoshoot in LA, reported The Sun.

Bridget said: “She should do a pictorial with us. We've got big plans for her. I think she's going to fit in fine - they're both gorgeous.”

Hugh said: “I think Hollywood is gonna love David. The girls at the mansion have been talking about it and want to be sure that we put him on the party list. I think he will do very well here, particularly since soccer has never really caught on in America as it has in the rest of the world, he may make the difference.”

I was upset with that drunk actor: Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut who walked away with one more popular award as best debutante on Saturday night is miffed by the fact that Gangster, the film which catapulted her to great heights, is being referred to as a "small film".

Says Kangana, "After the awards at the celebration party an actor who seemed a little drunk walked up to me and smiled condescendingly to congratulate me for winning the award for a small film. I was immediately upset. Small? How is Gangster a small film? Are they talking about budgeting?

It's a 8-9 crore film. Is that chicken-feed? We shot the film in Seoul where no Indian film has been shot before. The plot takes the characters to two different countries. The largeness of the canvas is unquestionable. I'd rather be proud of such a small film than be ashamed of some big film where I'd be tucked away in an invisible corner. And I said so to the actor."

Apparently Kangana who already has a reputation for not mincing words made her displeasure on the size of Gangster very clear to the actor. Several onlookers heard raised voices.

She laughs, "There were no raised voices. I just made my point very clear. Gangster isn't a small film. I'm now doing some so-called big films. And I'm equally proud of both."

The actress has for now, stopped signing new films. "I'm listening to new scripts every day. But nothing that excites me enough to grab another offer.

I'd rather wait to for Anurag Basu's Metro and Suneel Darshan's Shaka Laka Boom Boom to come out in Februray and April before I say yes to any of the new offers.

It's so difficult to follow up Gangster and Woh Lamhe with something equally exciting. I envy Kareena for getting Omkara. I'd love to work with directors like Vishal Bhardwaj and Madhur Bhandarkar. In fact I'll be listening to Madhurji's script soon."

Good times ahead in 2007?

"Very good times," laughs Kangana. "2006 gave me some heartburns specially about my sister's injury and some unsavoury rumours about my fall-out with the Bhatts. I think things will be far more peaceful this year."

'They treated me as Priyanka'

To say Anjana Sukhani is elated about sharing screen space with the who's who of Bollywood in Nikhil Advani's "Salaam-e-Ishq" is an understatement.

"It's truly a blessing to be a part of an ensemble cast like 'Salaam-e-Ishq'. It's my first big film with a big director and some of the biggest actors of Bollywood.

I was treated like a princess and didn't feel intimidated at all. I was treated in the same manner as Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and others on sets," said Anjana.

Anjana, who has more than 40 commercials to her credit including the Coke ad with Aamir Khan, made her debut in the box office dud "Humdum". "Sun Zarra" and "Jaana-Lets Fall In Love" followed and they too sank without a trace. So, she now has her hopes pinned on Advani's biggie "Salaam-E-Ishq".

She is all charged to set the screen ablaze with her sensual "Babujee dheere chalna" track in "Salaam-E-Ishq", in which she tries to seduce Anil Kapoor.

"The song is not completely remixed and has a lounge feel to it. Anil comes to the studio and this is the first time he sees me. He is completely mesmerised and here onwards subsequent meetings take place between us," said Anjana.

Anjana plays the other woman in Anil's life.

"I play a young 22-year-old independent woman. She is very confident, open minded and chilled out. She feels its okay to walk out of a strained relationship and start afresh."

Priyanka Chopra-Salman Khan, John Abraham-Vidya Balan, Akshaye Khanna-Ayesha Takia, Sohail Khan-Ish Koppikar and Govinda-Shannon Esrechowitz will also be seen in the film.

"Salaam-e-Ishq" is slated to release Jan 25. The music is already scorching charts and with six lovable couples pairing up, the film sure looks like a tribute to love.
