Despite many labelling Indian cinema as a poor man’s version of Hollywood, the cream of Hollywood’s A-list film stars have nothing but love to show for their Indian counterparts. “I admire the work. I admire the way it has supported the industry. It’s incredible,” says Sylvester Stallone. “I have never been in India. It would be a great adventure and I look forward to it,” he adds. In response to Shahrukh’s candid confession about not being good enough for Hollywood, the humble star claims HE’S not talented enough to be cast in a Bollywood film!
Meanwhile, balding star Bruce Willis also sang their praises on the sidelines of the launch of the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in LA. ” Bollywood is doing great. They call it Bollywood for a reason; it is a good luck charm,” Willis added.
It looks to us like most Indian actors could take a page from their book of humility instead of ever so often blowing their own trumpets!

Rumors of a rift between the two Bollywood dynasties — the Khans and the Bachchans — regularly makes headlines in India. At a recent Diwali event, the Police Fest held in Mumbai, both stars came face to face, but the sight of Shahrukh reportedly filled Amitabh only with loathing. Being the gentlemen that he is, Shahrukh held out his hand to the aging star, but he supposedly couldn’t bring himself to shake it. Ouch! After a second of fighting with his mind, Amitabh got up and left in a huff.
While some would have you believe that Amitabh’s appalling behavior is a result of Shahrukh’s refusal to attend the IIFA (of which Big B is brand ambassador) or King Khan endorsing the same products as Bachchan OR even taking over the KBC mantle from Bachchan, we simply consider this a case of jealousy mania!
Perhaps, that could explain why Shahrukh wasn’t sent an invitation for Abhishek’s wedding. Were they afraid he’d outshine the groom? Or could it be Shahrukh’s acting abilities to perfection while Abhi has to rely on his wife propping him up!
Oh well, to see more pictures from the annual pre-diwali event

Will we go see it opening night? The film listed as drama/romance is said to be based on reincarnation and we can’t wait to watch it! Judging by the trailer, it looks interesting…and at the very least we can stare at Shahrukh’s abs while munching on popcorn!

Ever since Shahrukh Khan received unusal attention for his new found abs, the Om Shanti Om star loves to drop his shirt at the slightest instance. From launching health clubs to appearing in sexy photoshoots, Shahrukh is milking his fame to the last drop. His next publicity stop was the Hotel Inter Continental, Mumbai, where he unveiled the new issue of Filmare in which he oozes sex appeal! Now, if only he’d do something about that little piece of hair (on his right) that’s longer than the rest!

At the India-Pakistan Twenty-20 finals in Johannesburg, Shahrukh Khan was a fashion disaster! Wearing a blue velvet blazer and sunglasses that shouldn’t see the light off day, SRK was seen rooting for India along with his 10-year-old son Aryan. Witnesses say Shahrukh constantly clapped and jumped up from his seat in joy whenever a Pakistani wicket fell (There goes his Pakistani fans!). He even took turns with Aryan to wave the Indian flag from his VIP stand. At one point, Shahrukh was heard saying to his son: “They (the Indian players) are the true superstars”.
Shahrukh has often showed his patriotism on-screen with movies like Swades, Veer-Zaara, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Dil Se, Pardes and the recent one, Chak De! India.
While he did not take his shirt off, SRK went straight to the cricket grounds to congratulate the boys individually. Harbhajan Singh, who was completely ecstatic, lifted SRK up when the superstar hugged him. Aww…Congratulations India!
