Desi Girl Friend for Superman!

Superman, it seems, is getting bored of flying around with Lois Lanes and having his afternoon beer on the stony bosom of Statue of Liberty. He wants to fly down to India and have bhelpuri; and he has asked a Bolly actress to man his cockpit (no pun intented). The lucky one is none other than Priyanka Chopra. Director Bryan Singer is “extremely interested” in casting Priyanka opposite the ‘Man of Steel’. Singer, the birdie says, went to see Priyanka on the sets of Karan Johar’s ‘Dostana’, which was being shot in Miami. He was “greatly impressed” by the Indian beauty.

Time to fly, Priyanka!

Kareena's New Look for Mr and Mrs.Khanna!

Kareena Overworked!

With five films, nine endorsements and three stage shows, Kareena Kapoor says she is overworked and exhausted.

"I've five films in various stages of production. Then I've nine endorsements for which I've to shoot ads round the year. Plus I've all these stage shows that require rehearsals. I can't seem to find the time to do anything properly," Kareena told us on phone from Melbourne.

She's shooting for Salman Khan's 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' in Melbourne.

She has, in fact, agreed to perform at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards on June 8 in Bangkok and is rehearsing for it.

"I'm performing a medley of my songs from 'Jab We Met' and 'Tashan'. Gone are the days when I'd go on stage with just a little practice. Now I want to be my best in every stage performance.

"Here in Melbourne I'm rehearsing for IIFA at nights and shooting during the day. Am I overworked? I'm exhausted. But what choice do I have? I've decided to take my live performances as seriously as my movies and endorsements," she said.

After Melbourne and the IIFA performance, Kareena will spend some time with her beau Saif Ali Khan in London and then move to Los Angeles for a 40-day shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kambakht Ishq'.

"I'll be away from home for more than three months at a stretch. I miss home. I miss my family. I've never been so much out of Mumbai. I'll finish shooting here, then head to perform at the IIFA. In fact, I'm working so hard that I hardly get proper sleep. I feel like I haven't slept for ages."

She'll join Saif in London from June 20. Saif will be shooting in the city for his first home production to be directed by Imtiaz Ali and Deepika Padukone is playing the female lead in it.

And Deepika is seeing Kareena's cousin Ranbir.

"I'm so happy for them. I hope they'll be happy together. It feels so nice to have another Kapoor from my generation doing so well. He was fantastic in 'Saawariya'. He's here to stay. I feel a sense of pride and belonging for him. The Kapoors and Khans are rocking the industry."

No hard feelings about not being in Saif's first home production?

"None at all," Bebo laughs. "I joked at the Stardust awards about not being in Saif's first production and everyone took it seriously. Honestly, I enjoy meeting him outside Mumbai. At least we can have some privacy. At home me and Saif can't even go out for dinner without people staring at us, constantly judging our behaviour."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan scoffs at pregnancy rumour

"I am not pregnant," Aishwarya, looking as glamorous as ever in a formal black suit, told reporters at a press conference at the PVR Ambience shopping mall, on the outskirts of Delhi.

Aishwarya, along with her husband Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan, was in Delhi to launch the Idea Sarkar Raj Yatra.

She also dismissed reports that the couple had bought a bungalow in Dubai to hide her pregnancy from the media.

"I am sitting here in front of you. So, it is not true that we have got a bungalow in Dubai to hide (pregnancy) from the media," she said.

Abhishek added: "We are not expecting a baby. In case we do, we will let you know. We will not rob you of that moment."

She also clarified that she had not worn Rs.1 million-worth shades in 'Sarkar Raj', that stars all three of them, as reported in the media earlier.

"I am not wearing a Rs.1 million worth sunglass in the film as reported by the media," she said.
