Madhuri Dixit to join the bandwagon
Madhuri Dixit is to emerge with the Bachchans during the North American leg of The Unforgettable Tour that kicks off at The Rogers Centre in Toronto on July 18, 2008.
"For Madhuri, it'd be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there," revealed a close friend of the Bachchans .
Besides the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai) other Bollywood faculty that will be a part of the whole expedition includes Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh and the duo of Vishal-Shekhar.
Regardless of plunging the tour as a brain child of Amitabh Bachchan, Wizcraft, which is supervising the the tour, is not ready to jeopardy relying on just the Bachchans, Bipasha and Ritesh to drag in the crowds, sentient of their boundaries as live entertainers.
Other Bollywood stars who have been roped in to dapper up the tour contribution at other chosen places include Kareena's beaus, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan(past and present..lol..)

Women’s Day, 8th March , Bollywood Babes talk to us
Bollywood's leading ladies say they have never felt mediocre to men and mull over opportunities are escalating for women in the country.
On Womens Day today i.e. 8th March,2008 ,BestDesi.com asked Bollywood stars on what they feel being a woman , this is what they opined:
Shilpa Shetty:
As a woman I've nothing to grumble about. Today when I go abroad I'm proud to symbolize my film fraternity, my gender, my country and myself. I guess I've been singularly lucky. I realize there're so many women in our country who are still aggressive to earn a living. But I think things are varying very fast. Opportunities for women aren't incomplete any longer.
Hema Malini: 
I'm proud to be a woman and an Indian. With the prominence that I've achieved I've no problem getting what I want. But I know it isn't so with a lot of women in our country. I sympathize with their distress and I do want to work towards getting better their lot. That's one of the reasons I joined politics.
Ekta Kapoor : 
Being a woman is no annoyance. Though I won't say it's an benefit either in today's India - at least not in the corporate world. Yet lots of women in rural India are made to believe they're deprived by their gender. Yes gender bias is fading. I think our inherent advantage as women is that we're stronger than men even though we're more perceptive.
Bipasha Basu: 
The new Indian woman cuts across all age groups and class structures. We acclimatize better to situation because we are not playing by the rules of others. We are flexible and are able to bounce back from every prospect. I know women who go to work, take care of house and home, and be mothers without breaking a step. I don't know many men who can do that. Somehow we never tire out ourselves as much in the place of work as men do.
TV Buzz
Serial kisser Emran Hashmi reported to have got infuriated on the stages of Star Plus Chotte Ustad. While he has giving performance along with the host and the contests of the show, a lady from the viewers gallery came up on the stage and kissed him. Although everybody in the first instance enjoyed on what was really happening, but the Judge of the show Pritam got enraged and asked the lady who is she really? But there seemed to be no rejoinder on the lady’s expression and she unrelentingly sat on her seat chewing a gum. Can’t forecast anything, as to whether the scene had taken place routinely or the lady was remunerated to do the action for attainment of TRP for the show. The episode will be telecasted on Saturday the 1st March, 2008.
Kazauti Zindaki Ki, Star Plus has finally bid good bye, after running over 7 years, the last episode to be telecast on 28th February,2008. The main leading characters, i.e. Anuraj Basu, Prerna and Komilika are dead and Mr Bajaj has gone mad in the love of Prerna. Prem’s originsl wife Palchim is also dead and he is back with his first love Devki. So with that, the long exaggerated and melodramatic KZK has gone with the wind.
The characters Kumkum and Sumit of serial Kumkum in Star Plus is also dead and they will appear as another character in the reincarnation later. So with that the love scenes flanked by Kumkum and Sumit will also be halted.
The host of weekly show Kaho Na Yaar He in Star Plus is changed from Karn Patel to Aditya Narayan. This is likely to improve the TRP of the show as Aditya has much screen presence than the earlier host Karen.
