Our headlines may sound strange, especially as it talks about one of Hindi cinema's most handsome hunk, John Abraham, who has girls swooning over his immaculate physique and charming personality. But the statement comes from his co-star of one of his upcoming and yet untitled film.

The actress in question is a star in her own rights, a well loved and admired television artist, Kavita Kaushik, more popularly known as Chandramukhi Chautala, whose lovable Haryanvi cop act (Sony's FIR) inspired Neetu Chandra's role in ONE TWO THREE.

BCCI allows ex-ICL players to play in IPL 3

In a major decision, the Cricket Board today paved the way for the entry of ex-Indian Cricket League players numbering over 75 in the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting on March 12 at Hyderabad.The Board took this decision at its all-powerful Working Committee meeting here that also approved a whopping increase in the prize money for Ranji Trophy champions and a grant of Rs 25 crore to the All India Football Federation spread over two years.

"The ex-ICL players who have been granted amnesty (numbering 79) are eligible to play the IPL in the next season (2010) with a cap on the payment being a maximum of Rs 20 lakh," BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan said in a media statement.

But apparently there's a rider to this green signal which has not been spelt out officially but was confirmed by other BCCI sources, who said no player against whom match- fixing charges have been levelled (by ICL), notably ex-international Dinesh Mongia of Punjab, would be allowed to take part in the cash-rich T20 event.

"Players against whom match-fixing chargers are there would not be allowed to play in IPL," the sources said after the meeting.

The winners of the Ranji Trophy in the coming season would get Rs two crore, Rs 1.4 crore more than what Mumbai got for clinching the title for the 38th time last season

Review: 'Kaminey'

A few monsoons ago, Farah Khan paid homage to the cinema of 1970s with Om Shanti Om. Now Bhardwaj picks up characters that we have witnessed on the Hindi screen before, but executes it like Tarantino and Guy Ritchie do. He creates a film that's so different from movies we've witnessed thus far.

'Kaminey' is bold, stark, funny and unpredictable and that's what works in its favour. There're two more reasons: Shahid Kapoor and of course, 'Dhan Te Nan'. Okay, we've seen Shahid pitching in a sincere act in his earlier films, but 'Kaminey' should catapult him to superstardom. His double role in 'Kaminey' is exemplary.

There's another star in 'Kaminey' and that's 'Dhan Te Nan'. Your heart starts beating faster every time you hear this in the background or also when Shahid breaks into the song. The track is as big a craze as 'Jumma Chumma' [Hum, 'Ek Do Teen' [Tezaab] and 'Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai' [Khal-Nayak] and will contribute enormously in attracting viewers in hordes.

Ileana’s love for pets

‘I am not Hanuman in Raavan’ – Govinda

What started as a cameo role has been transcended into a full-length characterization. That’s really great news for Govinda, the self-aggrandizing actor, who has pinned more hopes on Mani Rathnam’s ‘Raavan’. Recently, there were buzzes that Govinda’s outlandishness had its impact on the filmmaker.

‘If that is the fact, why would Mani Rathnam offer me another project?’ says Govinda who promises that it’s been a great time working for this film. Adding more about buzzes relating his role with mythological character of Hanuman, the actor utters, “There isn’t anything to do with the role of Hanuman. I am enacting the role of man guiding a person (Vikram) badly running to save his wife (Aishwarya Rai) kidnapped by a notorious outcast (Abhishek Bacchan).”

Followed by mahout’s death, the entire crew has shifted to Ooty, where Govinda will join them on August 18. Also the actor has confirmed that he performs full-fledged prominent role that will be enacted by Kollywood's reigning actor Karthik in Tamil version

Trisha is tidy

Guess what’s the topmost priority of Trisha? The answer is cleanliness. For, keeping surroundings clean and tidy had always occupied the top position in the actress’s wishlist.

“It is a habit from my childhood. My first thing after coming from school was to take a broom and clean the home. My mother would appreciate me a lot for this habit of mine,” she says.

The actress adds: “The habit still continues. Whatever may be the time of my returning home, I would go to bed only after cleaning my room, laptop, music system and wardrobe.”

Shamili says ‘No’ to Ajith!

How are we supposed to take this like? Why will a growing actress like Shamili refuse to act with a big-shot of Tamil film industry? These questions are sure to pop-up in everyone’s mind by now. And now comes a valid answer form the ‘Oy!’ girl.

Shamili hails from an acting family- the younger sister of Rishi and Shalini as well as the sister-in-law of Ajith Kumar. She has no qualms in giving up the homely girl look if the script demands but, will never romance with Ajith on screen, as he is like her brother.

This looks like a convincing reason but, we just wonder if this decision was taken, keeping in mind her darling sis Shalini!

The pretty girl has also decided to continue her education in Singapore soon as she was not happy with her latest release ‘Oy!’. Planning to join a three years course of communication engineering from January 2010, she has decided to do a film in this six months gap, if she gets a good script.

Glad that this young lady is full of clear policies, we wish her the best!
