Salman Khan spent less than a week in jail, following a five-year sentence imposed by a magistrate in 2006 for hunting a protected gazelle in 1998.

We can’t say we didn’t see this coming. India’s legal system has always been a joke and a perfect example of preferential treatement. What’s ridiculous is that they hand out sentences faster than it takes Nicole Richie to get out of jail, but yet it seems like no celeb serves their full time or fulfills their sentence.

She Bends it Like No Other

Tanushree DuttaTanushree Dutta has become an early riser these days. Apparently, the actress has enrolled herself for a kathak classes. According to sources, Tanushree has been waking up early in the morning for regular practice and has been attending her classes quite religiously since the last five months.

Says a source, "The actress has lost a lot of weight because of her dance training. She has always been extremely passionate about dancing. Even as a kid, Tanushree used to learn kathak, but later, her parents wanted her to concentrate on her studies, so she had to give up dancing."

The actress is learning kathak under the tutelage of her guru Vyjainthimala. Tanushree confirms the news. She says, "I love dancing, and I think kathak is one of the most impressive dance forms because of its elegant moves. As a matter of fact, we can also perform kathak on Bollywood numbers," she says.

Tanushree has been training herself in Benaras gharana, which happens to be one of the oldest school of kathak in India. "I am also watching DVDs of eminent kathak exponents to get a better perspective on dance steps," she says.

But will she be able to use any of these steps in her films? "Now that would be a scary situation for my choreographers. I think filmi dance is little different, but you never know. Some day, I might do a classical number and follow Hemaji, Rekhaji and Madhuriji’s footsteps. I am not ruling out this option,"

Tanushree feels that dance is the best way to keep your body in shape. She adds, "Dance is a systematic process of keeping your body fit. I do work out in a gym, but at the same time, my dance helps me rejuvenate."

Heyy Babyy

August 26, 07 by Ballz Bollywood!



The amount of disappointment we get these days seeing movies like Partner, Jhoom Barabar and now, Heyy Babyy is gonna end our habit of seeing first day shows.

In true Bollywood fashion, ‘Heyy Babyy’ is a total rip-off from the 1987 Hollywood hit ‘Three Men and A Baby’; it starts with the focus on three men, who are leading the ultimate bachelor lifestyle; sleeping with women and just having a great time.

Hey_Babyy_Movie_Poster_Akshay_Kumar_Fardeen_Khan_Ritesh_DeshmukhAkshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh in a still from the film ’Hey Babyy’.

Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan and Ritiesh Deshmukh’s life takes a turn when a baby is delivered at their doorstep (how original!) with a note the reads, ‘Dog take care of your daughter’. The movie is an utter disappointment because it had the potential to become a laugh riot only if the débutant director, Sajid Khan hadn’t tried too many things. Boman Irani in his brief stint sure leaves an impact but, the movie still did not go down with us because it had nothing new to offer.

Only saving grace in the movie were the last thirty minutes, which probably got more than a few laughs out of us. First half was desperately been tried to look funny but wasn’t. Next 45 minutes were emotional and looked totally artificial and illogical.

Katrina Kaif Visits Prisoner No.343

Katrina Kaif Visits her prisoner boyfriend Salman KhanSalman Khan a.k.a prisoner no# 343 in the Central Jail, had very special visitors on Sunday - his girlfriend Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif and other family members.

Katrina Kaif along with Salman’s brother Arbaaz and sisters Alvira and Arpita, arrived from Mumbai in the afternoon to meet the star, who is now imprisoned in the chinkara poaching case.

Though the jail’s visiting hours for the day had ended, the superintendent allowed Katrina and the others to meet Salman for about half an hour at around 3 pm. Katrina and Arbaaz refused to speak to reporters who were waiting with hundreds of Salman’s fans at the airport here and headed straight for their hotel.

We dont think the visit provided any solace to Sallu who has lots of sleepless nights still waiting for him.

Bollywood star Salman Khan or Sallu Bhai as he is lovingly called by his fans in India, has been placed under police arrest in India after a court in Jodhpur, Rajasthan upheld a prison sentence passed upon him for poaching. Salman had flown in from his home in Mumbai (Bombay), where he was mobbed by his fans, some of which had also taken the same flight as the star.

We feel that the courts are being overly harsh with Salman because he is a big celebrity. A five year jail sentence for killing black bucks? where they let killers and rapists out in a few years… wonder!
