Payel is now planning to get married !

Payal Rohatgi is on a high note these days. She talks to DT on love, life and things that matter to her most Payal Rohatgi's year long wait is finally over. Dhol has hit the theatres. With a sigh of relief, she says, "Not a single scene that I shot for has been cut. I am really glad to have gotten an opportunity to work with Priyan sir. I had my fingers crossed the whole time. I was very nervous. It is almost like one's first release's nervousness. But I think I will give myself a 7/10."
The non-glam image that Payal is sporting these days is a conscious effort to get better roles. And what's more? Payal is now planning to get married! "Yes I am going to be married to my work as an actress and will give my 100 per cent to it. As for a relationship with another human being , I don't have time," she giggles . "A woman doesn't really need that someone special to love and feel loved. She finds love in her mother's eyes, among her family and friends, like I have. I am really satisfied at the end of the day," she adds.
Payal is also happy to have a past which she terms as 'a wild one' . "You know, till the time you fall down you don't learn to walk cautiously. And that is what has happened with me. I did certain things, in certain ways and realised the good and bad of life. Now I know what path to take, which set of people to be with and how to lead a life less complicated . So I am really thankful to God for showing me both sides of the coin. I would not have valued my current phase so much otherwise," she says. But this pretty lass has not signed any movies right now, though she knows what deals to sign now. "You've got to spend some time in the industry to understand it and now that I have been here a while, I knows what do. I want to work with good filmmakers who have a vision. I am an actress and I am here to work. For me, the director and the banner matters a lot and I am also going to ensure that I don't repeat myself in every movie. I want to be a versatile actress and I have just begun," she concludes.

Jennifer Lopez is pregnant !


Jennifer Lopez is pregnant with her first child. The singer-turned-actress is due to give birth in the spring early next year, according to an insider. A US publication claims that Lopez and husband Marc Anthony received the good news after visiting her Beverly Hills gynaecologist, fertility specialist Dr Robert Katz. Sources revealed that she had an ultrasound performed in a New York office on September 12. A source says, The test calculated that she was about 12 weeks pregnant. The couple has been trying to get pregnant for the past two years, and eventually turned to in-vitro fertilisation. And those close to the couple claim the baby news could be a double blessing doctors think Lopez, 38, could be expecting twins. A pal says, The way the foetus is lying made it difficult for the doctor to tell if there was more than one baby in there. It is not known whether the baby news will upset the couple’s upcoming tour dates, which begin in early November this year. This will be the couple’s first child together. Anthony, 39, already has three children from previous relationships.

Britney banned from celeb hotel !


The pop singer was told she was not welcome at the celebrity hotspot after a string of complaints about her ‘odd’ behaviour Britney Spears is not yet over the MTV VMAs debacle, but she already has another humiliation to deal with - being banned from LA’s exclusive Chateau Marmont hotel. The pop singer was told she was not welcome at the celebrity hotspot after a string of complaints about her ‘odd’ behaviour. As to what this ‘odd behaviour’ was, well it seems that Britney smeared a plate of top-notch food over her face while dining at the hotel, leaving other diners stunned. The diners were so shocked and outraged by Britney’s antics, that they demanded management show the singer the door. “The diners were disgusted. You wouldn’t expect that from a teenager in a fast-food joint. Royalty have dined in this restaurant. Her behaviour was totally unacceptable,” The Sun quoted a source, as saying. Another source reveals: “Staff at the Chateau have been told she is not welcome. She constantly looked out of it when she came in and the guests began to make noises. The hotel acted before she made a huge scene. “No one wants to be banned from staying at the Chateau. “If she was trying to make a real go of her comeback then the people who visit the Chateau are the ones who could make it happen.”
[The 25-year-old pop star completed a month-long stay at a luxury Malibu, California, rehabilitation treatment facility in March after attracting an onslaught of media attention for wild behavior that included partying with Paris Hilton and a stop at a San Fernando Valley hair salon, where she shaved her own head.

Bollywood box-office report of the week!

The coming Friday will see the release of the Dutt, Arshad, Riteish and Aashish starrer Dhamaal and Ram Gopal Varma's Fardeen-Esha starrer, Darling. Of the two Dhamaal is expected to take a better start due to a better cast (and Indra Kumar's past record in comedy), as compared to Darling.
All the three releases of last Friday failed to impress the paying audience as well as the critics. Ananth Narayan Mahadevan's Victoria No 203 looks like a half hearted attempt and expectedly the opening was poor across India. A definite disaster and there are no surprises in that outcome. Pooja Bhatt's Dhokha is a good attempt gone wrong in execution and publicity. Though a few of the critics liked the movie, the opening was dull to weak and the makers cannot hope for more than a fair performance. Coming to Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, the film which released at 75 cinemas of Bombay-Thane got of to a weak start. Outside of Bombay, the opening was below the mark almost everywhere, but good in several centers of U.P. But as the weekend progressed, the film weakened further. In fact, as we had predicted in our last column, the still quite strong older releases like Chak De India and Heyy Babyy were the first preferences for most of the audience during the week. To sum it up, Ram Goapl Varma Ki Aag may have something for the single screens at 'B' and 'C' centers but precious little for the multiplex and 'A' centers and there is where the moolah comes from.
Coming to Sajid Nadiadwala's Akshay, Fardeen, Riteish and Vidya starrer, Heyy Babyy, the movie capitalised on a good start and has done very well both in India and Overseas. In the first week Heyy Babyy collected 4.96 crores from Bombay (18 unrecd.), 1.15 crores from Ahmedabad, 5.15 lakhs from Himmatnagar, 3.75 lakhs from Valsad, 15.15 lakhs from Rajkot, 7 lakhs (gross) from Jamnagar, 2.35 lakhs from Adipur, 1.75 lakhs from Karad, 3.40 lakhs from Solapur, 4.85 lakhs from Sangli, 11.85 lakhs from Nasik, 1.45 lakhs from Miraj, 2.48 crores from Delhi city, 45.25 lakhs from Ghaziabad, 20.75 lakhs from Faridabad, 20.32 lakhs from Ghaziabad, 34 lakhs from Noida, 16.80 lakhs from Kanpur, 33 lakhs Lucknow, 3.60 lakhs from Agra, 3.80 lakhs from Bareilly, 28.75 lakhs from Nagpur, 3.90 lakhs from Jabalpur, 3.50 lakhs from Amravati, 2.40 lakhs from Akola, 15.90 lakhs from Raipur, 3.50 lakhs from Bhilai, 1.10 lakhs from Durg, 1.40 lakhs from Wardha, 2.60 lakhs from Chandrapur, 1.25 lakhs from Yavatmal, 29 lakhs from Indore, 2.45 lakhs from Sehore, 1.70 lakhs from Ujjain, 9.70 lakhs (gross) from Ajmer, 31.30 lakhs from Jaipur, 2.85 lakhs from Guwahati, 90 lakhs from Calcutta, 3.35 lakhs from Aurangabad and 58 lakhs from Hyderabad. In its first week Heyy Babyy netted an impressive 27.50 crores from India and the movie is on way to a second (consecutive) 2007 success for Akshay Kumar. Heyy Babyy also continues its impressive overseas run, having grossed $1,207,620 in the US while the UK collections for this weekend are unreceived.
Smita Thackrey's Kasiey Kahein... is a washout despite its low 2 crore budget. It has barely managed to collect 10 lakhs in its opening week from India.
Yash Raj's Shah Rukh Khan-Vidya Malvade starrer, Chak De India, continues to be strong, specially in the cities and with tax-exemptions coming into effect in many states, the movie is set for a long and fruitful run. In the third week, Chak De India collected 1.75 crores from Bombay, 30 lakhs from Ahmedabad, 3.10 lakhs from Rajkot, 3.10 lakhs from Jamnagar, 1.25 lakhs (gross) from Bhavnagar, 1.30 lakhs from Solapur, 3.40 lakhs from Nasik, 1.15 crores from Delhi city, 26.50 lakhs from Gurgaon, 9.35 lakhs from Faridabad, 6.60 lakhs from Ghaziabad, 20.80 lakhs from Noida, 3.30 lakhs from Kanpur, 14 lakhs from Lucknow, 3.10 lakhs from Aligarh, 10.80 lakhs from Nagpur, 1.50 lakhs from Amravati, 1.40 lakhs from Akola, 2.35 lakhs from Raipur, 11 lakhs from Indore, 4 lakhs from Bhopal, 3.70 lakhs from Jaipur, 1.90 lakhs from Ajmer, 1 lakh from Guwahati, 23.75 lakhs from Calcutta, 2.10 lakhs from Aurangabad and 28 lakhs from Hyderabad. During the week, the Shimit Amin directed movie collected around 8.25 crores for an all-India total of around 44 crores. Given its distribution cost, Chak De India is now a superhit in India and still has a lot of steam left. Even in the Overseas, the movie continues to improve and has so far collected. $1,053,099 from US while the UK collections for this weekend are unreceived.
Meanwhile David Dhawan's Govinda, Salman, Lara and Katrina starrer Partner continues to earn for its makers. In its sixth week the movie collected 12 lakhs from Bombay, 4.15 lakhs from Ahmedabad, 2.55 lakhs from Delhi city, 1.20 lakhs from Noida, 1.80 lakhs from Kanpur, 3.40 lakhs from Lucknow, 1.80 lakhs from Agra, 1 lakh from Nagpur, 1.15 lakhs from Amravati, 3.10 lakhs from Jaipur and 1.60 lakhs from Hyderabad. During the week Partner added almost a crore for a six week all-India total of nearly 62 crores. The movie is a blockbuster hit. In the Overseas, Partner has grossed £ 822,630 from UK and $1,062,840 from the US and is a good hit.
