Bollywood's low on Oscars impact

Academy award winner Colin Firth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan go back. They first met when they acted in the Hollywood big budget movie The Last Legion (add year of release) and they've stayed in touch.

So naturally this year the actress was rooting for Colin at the Oscars. She was seen cheering when he won the Best Actor award for The King's Speech. She was disappointed when he didn't win last year for his performance for A Single Man.

When they met at the after party, she congratulated him warmly and introduced him to her husband, Abhishek. She even raised a toast for him. Later, they talked about a possible meeting during her stay in LA. In case their schedule didn't permit this, they talked about connecting with him next month. Colin was ecstatic with his Oscar win and was overheard saying he couldn't believe he was holding the trophy in his hand. They spoke for about 10 minutes and agreed to catch up again when the madness (the entire Hollywood junta wanted a piece of Colin at the party) surrounding Colin subsided.

Although there is speculation whether she has plans to host him in Mumbai and celebrate his success here, everyone is tight-lipped about the details. However, we hear that Colin's trip to India is anyway overdue as Ash had extended an invitation to him when they last worked together.

Glee star 'terrified' of ex?



Glee star Dianna Agron is allegedly "terrified" of ex-boyfriend Alex Pettyfer after their acrimonious split last week.

The 24-year-old actress, who stars as cheerleader Quinn Fabray in the US hit musical comedy, moved out of her shared home with Pettyfer in Hollywood after ending their relationship of almost a year.

It's now being reported that Agron has resorted to "staying at a hotel under an alias", according to sources speaking to Us Weekly, and that the 20-year-old Stormbreaker star has been acting like "a psycho loose cannon" following their bitter break-up.

The publication is also alleging that Pettyfer recently became embroiled in a heated confrontation at a West Hollywood bar with Black Swan actor Sebastian Stan, and accused him of hooking up with Agron behind his back.

The source added, "Dianna is terrified of [Alex]. He absolutely lost it and threatened her [Agron] during a phone conversation."

Just yesterday it was reported that Agron had done the dumping after her current I Am Four co-star took part in a risque photoshoot with models Lydia Hearst and Leven Rambin. But the pictures were taken before the couple had even begun dating, and actress and model Hearst had told US gossip website TMZ, "I can't help but laugh because it is nothing more than art, and it is beyond ridiculous that anyone would be upset about it.

"It was a kiss from over a year ago… it's time to move on."

Pettyfer's spokesperson has since come forward to deny that he made any threats.

But we reckon there's still more drama and scandal to come with this one…

Joker aims for records with 10 languages used in one song


He may have called his film Joker but director Shirish Kunder is dead serious when it comes to his second film. For this Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha starrer that goes on floor this month, Shirish is now all set to film a song which is made of - hold your breath - 10 languages. A dance number, it is sung by Daler Mehendi and is a fusion track.

"That's right; we have already recorded the song and would be picturising it in the Chandigarh schedule which kick-starts on Valentines Day (14th February). The uniqueness about this song is that it has lyrics belonging to 10 languages - Hindi, English, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam", says Shirish who has earlier directed Akshay in his debut outing Jaan-E-Mann.

Now an effort like this could well take the song in the record books because as far as Bollywood outings are concerned, the record so far is held by Angrezi Mein Kehte Hai from Amitabh Bachchan starrer Khud-Daar (1982) which had lyrics in five languages - English, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali and Punjabi. With the song from Joker bringing in ten languages, it is miles ahead of the competition.

"Well, we are not thinking of any records as of now. What we want is that we should have fun while getting the song on screen and audience should be enjoying it", says Shirish who is co-producing the film along with Akshay Kumar, "Farah would be choreographing the song."

To be shot outdoors, the song which has been composed by newcomer GV Prakash and written by Shirish himself has an Indian melody to it with a hip hop groove. It would be picturised on Akshay and Sonakshi and is already being touted as a major highlight in Joker.

A close associate of Shirish adds, "He has been known for his innovation when it comes to music. Remember 'Humko Maaloom Hai' (Jaan-E-Mann) which was so different musically as well as visually. Even recently his very own composition of Tees Maar Khan title song was getting quite popular before the entire team decided to pitch 'Sheila Ka Jawani' as the next big song. Now with Joker, expect him to go full throttle."

Well, we hope the results are as enticing as they sound Shirish!
