Ameesha Patel and the Dutts -- Sanjay and Maanayata -- are upset that a family close to them didn't even respond to their invite
Sanjay and Maanayata Dutt and their baby shower organiser Ameesha Patel are miffed that Punam Sinha and her daughter Sonakshi didn't care to respond to their invite for the event.
Says an invitee, "It was a guest list drawn up by Maana and Ameesha, who was personally calling and messaging people. As the Sinhas have always been very close to the Dutts, they were invited too. The Sinha patriarch, Shatrughan has been part of almost every social event of the Dutts."
But, adds the source, even the ladies who were out of town at the time (like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Natasha Fardeen Khan) or unwell (Kirron Kher was down with conjunctivitis) cited their inability to attend, but the Sinha maa-beti didn't.
"Punam didn't pick up Ameesha's call, neither did she reply to her messages. Ms Patel was very upset and the Dutts felt hurt too but preferred to keep quiet about it. Ameesha even told Maana that she wouldn't have called the Sinha ladies had she known they'd snub her."
The source feels that since Sonakshi has become part of Salman Khan's inner circle of friends, she has developed an attitude."
And Punam is a star mother, now that Dabangg is a big hit. Sonakshi wasn't in town as she was in Norway promoting Dabangg with Salman on September 13. Punam could have at least told Maanayata that Sonakshi and she weren't coming, no?"
Says Punam, "So what if I couldn't call or message back? My sister, a cancer patient for eight years, suddenly had to be admitted to hospital last week. She is my priority. I couldn't even attend Sonakshi's Dabangg events."
Poonam adds, "I have been in the hospital for the last few days and it's impossible to even think of calling or messaging people from there. I have far more important stuff going on in my life.
Please understand my frame of mind and what I am going through. Even now I am sitting with my sister at home after she was discharged a day ago.
Sanju and Maana are very close to us and will always be. I hope they understand my situation..."
Actress/dancer Nicole ‘Coco’ Austin has been pictured showing off her famous butt in a see though dress at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Coco, 31, wore a tight blue dress with sheer panelling around the back that had been designed by new designer duo Sachika, and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin heels.
As she walked down the catwalk at Style360’s Metropolitan Pavilion it looked like she was wearing a regular bodycon dress, but when she turned, guests got a full view of her derriere through the pink sheer panelling on the back. The model commented about the dress on Twitter after she went in for a fitting. “Had a fitting... Dress is hot,” the Daily Telegraph quoted her as writing.
Former Hills star Heidi Montag looked vaguely horrified when one of her pneumatic breasts nearly escaped from her top as she splashed around in the Costa Rican surf. The 25-year-old star frantically tried to keep things covered up when the bikini malfunction occurred, reports the Daily Mail.
Fortunately, she recovered enough to walk down the beach displaying her surgically enhanced figure in blue bikini top and red patterned bottoms with no further mishaps. The slip up may have given Montag more reason to regret having made her breasts so big - she recently confessed she is already thinking of having her G cups reduced.
A 3D advertisement by bra company Wonderbra, which features a well-enhanced woman’s cleavage, is being considered a road safety hazard, as it can be distracting for drivers.
The poster, which has been erected near London Waterloo station to promote the company’s new 28 pounds Full Effect brassiere, could cause accidents, warns the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).
Wonderbra had caused a quite a stir when, 16 years ago, they revealed a poster of Czech model Eva Herzigova in a Wonderbra, gazing down at her breasts with the caption “Hello Boys”.
And even though the poster was voted No10 in a ‘Poster of the Century’ contest, the picture of Herzigova’s pushed-up assets was blamed for dozens of road accidents.
Vince Yearley, a spokesman for IAM, said that the latest poster for Full Effect, ‘Wonderbra’s best cleavage enhancer to date’, which is 20ft wide and stars Brazilian model Sabraine Banado, could be more of a distraction.
“I remember that Herzigova picture very well - I was working at the Department for Transport at the time,” the Daily Mail quoted Yearley as saying.
“In many ways this latest one could be more dangerous, as it’s 3D.
“For those motorists who don’t happen to have 3D glasses in their car - and most don’t - then as the image is slightly blurred, it will cause you to want to focus on it even more.
“I think it will be a distraction for men and women on the road. And you just need to lose concentration briefly while on the road and an accident could happen,” he stated.
Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said that road safety was a top priority and the Highway Code is clear that safe driving needs concentration and motorists must be in proper control of their vehicle at all times.
A spokeswoman for The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents added that while there is no concern with the advert so far, they would however be interested in knowing if it has caused any road accidents.
“As an iconic lingerie brand the 3D billboard is the perfect way to launch the campaign for our new bra, it brings to life the product’s benefits in a bold and exciting way,” Julia Nolan from Wonderbra said of the campaign.
Pop singer Katy Perry has revealed that she wants pal Rihanna to strip at her bachelorette party.
Perry, who is set to tie the knot with British funnyman Russell Brand, has given the responsibility of organizing a pre-wedding party to Rihanna.
“Rihanna has all these ideas about everything. You see people coming and they strip at your bachelor party but I want her to strip at my bachelorette party. She’s going to get the message right now. She’s hot, I love her. She’s just the coolest chick and I want all of her clothes. We have a lot in common. We like to hang out every once in awhile; sometimes we’ll see each other at different events,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Perry as saying.
“I don’t know if she started this rumour that she’s going to do it (the bachelorette party) or if she just hopped on the bandwagon of the rumors like, ‘I’m going to do it!’ That’s the one thing that I don’t have to plan, which I’m really excited about,” Perry added.
Pop star Lily Allen has revealed she's living in fear of miscarrying her baby with boyfriend Sam Cooper after losing her first child at the beginning of 2008.
The Smile singer admits her pregnancy has not been joyful so far - because she's haunted by her former baby tragedy. And she reveals her second pregnancy has been "really difficult".
Allen tells Britain's Sunday Times, "I came off the pill and, weirdly, a week later it happened. But then it was really difficult, I had complications.
Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen and screenwriter Alison Owen, explains, It's not that I didn't enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate
"I had about a week and a half of really heavy bleeding and had to havelots of scans... I've been living in fear for the past three months".
But that hasn't put her off her motherhood dreams "I've probably been saying it since I was seven". The singer plans to retire from the music industry to concentrate on motherhood - and she's desperate to give her child the "normal" family upbringing she once craved.
Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen and screenwriter Alison Owen, explains, "It's not that I didn't enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate.
"Everyone I knew when I was growing up came from divorced parents. I doremember when I had my first proper boyfriend at 16, going to his parents' house in Ireland and we all sat round had dinner together and I was really overwhelmed by the whole thing".
Angelina Jolie "doesn't have many friends" so relies on her partner Brad Pitt when she wants to talk.
The actress is currently in Pakistan, having travelled to the country to help raise money following the devastating floods in the country.
Angelina is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, and was keen to help those left homeless by the natural disaster.
The star gave a satellite interview to CNN to discuss the role, in which she admitted it can be a lonely one. Angelina raises six kids with Brad, and hates being away from her family for long periods of time.
"I'll talk to my family," she replied, when asked how she copes with the solitude. "I talk to Brad, he wants to know as much as he can about these issues and every trip. He's been here as well; he came with me after the earthquake. But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to."
Although she misses them, Angelina explained her kids are well aware of why she has gone away. She ensures they always understand why she is going to other countries to help, and hopes that gives them global awareness. Three of the children are adopted, and both Brad and Angelina are adamant they must learn about their homelands.
"I tell my children why I'm going and I explain to them why I was packing flashlights and food. They help me pack some things," she explained to interviewer Sanjay Gupta.
"My children are from a lot of these countries, so I want them to understand what's happening in Africa, the boys to understand what's happening if there's something current in their countries, and for all of them to know about each other's countries as well."
Angelina's nine-year-old son Maddox is from Cambodia, Pax, six, comes from Vietnam and five-year-old Zahara was born in Ethiopia. Her other kids are Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
