"He just assumed she wanted to speak to the kids, which she eventually did. But then she came out with all this stuff about how she missed him and knew she had been an idiot. The idea of a reunion is not something Pete would even consider. They are divorced and that's it," said the friend.
A spokesman for Jordan confirmed the news saying: "Katie did speak with Pete, primarily about the children."
Veteran rapper Keith Murray is taking time out of his tour of Africa to visit children affected by Hiv and Aids in Mozambique.
The hip-hop star travelled to Africa earlier this week (begs30Nov09) and has lined up a number of charity events in recognition of World Aids Day, which took place on Tuesday (01Dec09).
(But) I think talking about it helps. As part of his trip, Murray will speak to youths to raise awareness about the deadly disease and meet kids in two orphanages.
The campaign is particularly poignant for Murray, 37, because he lost both his mother and sister to the illness when he was in his early 20s.
He tells HipHopDX.com, "The impact that Hiv and Aids can have on a person and a family is something that I know on a very personal level, which is why I was so determined to make this trip. "The most painful part is watching people close to you go through it and feeling that there's nothing you can do to help.
(But) I think talking about it helps". Murray's mum died after contracting Hiv from a blood transfusion when he was 20, and his sister passed away three years later.

However, he discovers it’s inhabited by little green people who think he’s the alien. “It’s about not having a fear of something you don’t know about,” she told ET about the film, “and being non-judgmental about someone who’s different from you, or something that’s changing in your life.”
“I do,” Jessica said in response to believing there is life out there. “Our universe is so expansive, I think it’s kind of silly to think that we’re the only beings experiencing life here.”
Model-turned-actress Megan Fox has claimed she hides her true self under layers of controversies.
The 23-year-old, who has often caused raised eyebrows after coming out of the closet as a bisexual or for her candid remarks, says it's just an outside persona she has created to veil her true self from getting diluted, reports gossip.ie.
"Being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they (critics and audiences) put you on, they're going to tear you down. And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice. I'm not willing to give my true self up," she said.
"The reality is, I'm hidden amongst all the insanity. Nobody can find me," she added.

"I felt a bit ill when I saw it. I'm not confident with my body," said the actress.
"I opened a magazine the other day and they called me the worst-dressed person in the world. And I was like, 'I like that dress'," said Green.
My Name is Khan, which brings together the hottest on-screen couple Shahrukh Khan and Kajol after a gap of eight years, is set to hit theatres in India, UK and over 40 other countries on February 12, next year.
"My Name is Khan, at its core, is an epic love story between two people who have a unique way of seeing the world, but what sets it apart is the landscape on which the story unfolds," film's director Karan Johar said in a statement.
"I keep setting out to do something different with my films, but the one constant that remains is my desire to continue to explore the many ways in which two people can fall in love and stay in love regardless of any or every challenge against them," Johar added.
In My Name is Khan, Shah Rukh stars as Rizvan Khan, an unconventional hero who embarks on an incredible journey across America in order to win back the love of his life. Along the way his unique brand of goodness and humanity touches the lives of many and inspires a nation.

The stripper who confessed to allegedly bedding actor Josh Duhamel has publicly apologized to his wife Fergie.
Nicole Forrester sold her story to the National Enquirer and has since made headlines across the world for talking about her sexy one-night stand, which both Duhamel and Fergie have denied.
I thought, 'Nobody's gonna find out
The dancer insists she's standing by her story, but she admits she's sorry for going public and causing the newlyweds so much grief.
Forrester tells U.S. news show Extra, "I'm sorry... I thought, 'Nobody's gonna find out. It's not gonna hurt anybody.' I'm sorry that I didn't think of it (expose) like I think of it now".
She maintains she had a tryst with the married actor after meeting him in the Atlanta, Georgia club where she works, and she has passed a lie-detector test in a bid to prove she's telling the truth.
Forrester admits her decision to sell her story to the tabloid has beenmore harmful to her than to the celebrity couple.
She tells the news show, "My son went to a football game last Saturday and he was like, 'Mom, you're disgusting. I didn't know you had sex with him.'" She admits the fall-out from her candid comments have prompted her to quit stripping.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has sparked wedding rumours after booking a month long "honeymoon" with boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin.
The 39-year-old model has booked a luxury holiday which will cost a whopping 1 million pounds and she is calling it a honeymoon, reported Sun online.
"The honeymoon planned to end just before Christmas, is costing close to 1 million pounds because they will only use private jets and stay at the best hotels," said a source close to the couple.
Rumours, that the English supermodel will be marrying Doronin, known as Russia's Donald Trump, have been doing the rounds ever since she moved to Russia earlier this year to set up house with the business tycoon.
The couple first met at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and attended the star-studded A-List birthday dinner held for the legendary South African leader Nelson Mandela. Soon after, the pair became inseparable, famously vacationing on Vladislav Doronin’s yacht off St Tropez in the South of France last summer in clear view of the paparazzi.
Bhatts are back with their latest offering ‘Tum Mile’. In trademark Bhatt style, the film might seem small in star-value but is big in content. We give you five Bhatt brand reasons on why to look forward to Tum Mile.
Storming successfully
The major USP of the film is that this is the first film to have the 26 July 2005 rain deluge as its backdrop. On that disastrous day, rains played havoc on Mumbai bringing the undying spirit of the city to a sudden standstill.
Kunal Deshmukh, who debuted with the surprise-hit ‘ Jannat ’ last year, has used 26 July as the backdrop to this sublime love story. Lovers trapped in natural disaster – that gives an interesting touch to the romance.
The entire thunderstorm sequences were recreated in huge sets erected at a studio at the outskirts of Mumbai. Some scenes will just blow you away with its intensity and remind you of Titanic.
Molly Sims has a simple message when asked about her former Las Vegas costar Josh Duhamel's rumored infidelity: "Don't believe everything you read."
"We e-mailed yesterday," she tells E!'s Daily 10 on Wednesday. "It's absolutely not true – and he's a great guy. I've worked with him for five years."

Duhamel has vigorously defended himself against allegations by Nicole Forrester, a stripper in Atlanta, who said she had sex with Duhamel one night at the St. Regis Hotel. Forrester also sold her story to the National Enquirer for more than $20,000.
Duhamel and wife Fergie's reps have denied the allegations. "This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity," Duhamel's rep said. "This story is absolutely ridiculous."
According to Sims, Duhamel and Fergie are the victims of someone, "[who's] trying to make a lot of money." "Josh is a great guy," she says, "and it's sad 'cause his wife is amazing, too."
This is not a first look story for Raju Hirani’s 3 Idiots... this is about the dilAfter Kambakkht Ishq and Main Aur Mrs Khanna this year, both of which didn’t do anything for her, Kareena’s performances in Kurbaan and 3 Idiots are generating a deafening buzz already... and Bollywood’s most powerful actress is literally running between real life beau Saif Ali Khan (Kurbaan) and good friend Aamir (3 Idiots) between November 9-15... because that’s how her dates have been allotted for promotions.
Says Bebo, “Both Saif and Aamir are very dear to me. I think I've created magic with both co-stars and it is impossible for me to choose one over the other.” She recently shot a super-erotic, romantic number with Aamir in artificial rain. Insiders say that though the focal point in 3 Idiots is not the Aamir-Kareena romance, it is still a very endearing part of it. While Saif maintains that there is a tremendous curiosity about his pairing with Kareena because they are a real life couple too, Aamir says, “Kareena is one of the most beautiful actresses that we have today. She is also a very good friend and we have both worked very hard on this rain song. I hope people like it.”
He’s done wet songs before with Sonali Bendre in Sarfarosh and in Fanaa with Kajol, in which his chemistry with both actresses was highly appreciated... but with Kareena, well, Aamir feels the chemistry is combustible. Any wonder Bebo is smiling like a Cheshire cat that has got the cream.
Rachel Christie withdrew from the title. Christie, who was the first black woman to be crowned Miss England, stepped down following her arrest over an alleged fight with Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones in a nightclub.
Contest organisers announced her place was given to first runner-up L/Cpl Hodge, who will now represent the country in the Miss World Final in Johannesburg, South Africa, on December 12. ''Due to the media attention following the allegations against her, Rachel Christie has now decided to withdraw from the Miss World competition and relinquish her Miss England crown,” the Telegraph quoted a statement from the organisers as saying.
“Rachel will concentrate on clearing her name and focus on training for the 2012 Olympics until this case is resolved. 'Rachel is very upset about the matter and the Miss England organiser Angie Beasley and Miss World Chairman Julia Morley will support Rachel and are behind Rachel with her Olympic
training,” it stated.
L/Cpl Hodge, nicknamed 'Combat Barbie' over her bravery in Iraq, has been granted leave from her duties as a soldier in the British Army to participate in the competition.
Megan Fox says she is an "a*shole".
The 'Jennifer's Body' actress can relate to the character she plays in the movie, an undead cheerleader who kills and eats her classmates, because she has a lot of pent-up rage which she could bring to the role.
She said: "It wasn't hard to get into character - I'm an a*shole. I think everybody is angry about something in their life and I just happen to be really angry and go for it."
We search the rest of our lives for boys to pay attention to and validate us, so no one can really be your friend if she takes attention from you.
The brunette beauty also claims that she doesn't believe it is possible for women to be friends because they are always competing with one another.
She added: "I think girls are awful. But in their defence, I think girls are awful because of the way society is set up and that we're forced to constantly be in competition for male attention.
Jaya Bachchan has been roped in to introduce the cast and crew in Amitabh Bachchan’s forthcoming film Paa, instead of the usual credits by director Balki.
The idea came to Balki while editing the film. He felt that Amitabh’s character in Paa, especially, should be introduced by someone. That’s when Jaya Bachchan was thought of. The sequence was shot around a week ago.
Balki confirmed the news and joked that he was just looking for an excuse to work with Jaya Bachchan. And he was glad the need to work with her cropped up.

Last weekend, the couple was spotted at a Halloween masquerade ball in Mafta, Texas as hosted by The Art of Elysium, Gilt Groupe, and Interview Magazine.

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie proved she’s still as sexy as she was before giving birth to her twins when she flaunted her post-baby bod in her new film – wearing just lingerie.
Jolie started shooting for her new film Salt just six months after giving birth to the twins Knox and Vivienne and the revealing scenes show the actress has managed to regain her flat stomach after the pregnancy.
In the new trailer, released online this week, Jolie’s character is briefly seen in her underwear.
With her head out of camera shot, the 34-year-old is seen walking towards a bed wearing an open dressing gown, which reveals her black bra and knickers, reports the Courier Mail.
There are speculations that she may have hired a body double, however the tattoos on her waistline reveal its Jolie.
The new film stars Jolie as a CIA agent Evelyn Salt who is forced to go on the run after she is accused of being a Russian sleeper spy.
Russell Brand has made Katy Perry "naughtier".
The 'I Kissed A Girl' singer promised to flash her flesh while presenting the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) after her British boyfriend persuaded her to let down her guard.
She said: "I will be especially naughty under Russell's influence. I've worn things recently that aren't appropriate for this - sorry mom, sorry dad."
Katy - who is returning as presenter of the awards after impressing bosses last year - also admitted she won't be concerned if she exposes her breasts in any of her revealing outfits in Berlin tonight.
She added: "MTV asked me back because I have this no fear attitude. I don't care if I do fall over or if a boob does fall out.
"I've gone for less costume changes this year but less clothing too. It's all a bit naughtier, with lace, crystals and lots of boobie things. It's sexy. I'm highlighting what God gave me - what mama made."
While Katy, 25, insists it is the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star who has brought out her naughty side, friends of the 34-year-old comic insist they are equally daring and provocative, which is why their relationship works so well.
British comedian David Walliams, a close friend of the star, said: "Normally Russell's girlfriends are following him around totally in awe of him, but he is following her around totally in awe.
"But I can understand that because Katy is absolutely knockout gorgeous and really funny, really provocative and naughty. He has met his match."
Katy and Russell, 34, were first romantically linked after the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) two months ago when they were seen kissing at Lady Gaga's after-party at New York nightspot Avenue.
They have enjoyed a romantic holiday to Thailand and have been inseparable ever since.
Comedian Russell has admitted he has never felt "more settled" in his life and pals believe the pair will marry in a matter of months.
Aamir Khan doesn't want to take chances with his upcoming venture. To get an honest opinion about his film, the actor has invited hundred people to watch the first half of 3 Idiots.
So would the story plot be leaked? We don't think so, for the people who are getting this rare opportunity are bound by a Non Disclosure Agreement. It will prevent people from discussing the movie or passing any opinion or judgment on it.
Needless to say, the 'lucky' people were more than thrilled and even took part in a film-discussion with the lead actor Aamir Khan after watching it, where Aamir encouraged them to speak their minds.
The practice of signing an NDA is quite common in Hollywood studios that hold screenings for a discerning public across the board nearly six months before a movie makes it to the screens.
This is the first time it has happened in Bollywood. That's surely not an idiotic strategy Aamir!
Beyonce is facing another backlash from Islamic groups - conservative Muslims in Egypt fear her upcoming concert will threaten the country's "social peace and stability".
The Crazy In Love superstar is due to take her I Am... world tour to the mostly Muslim nation on Friday (06Nov09).
But strict Islamic groups have complained to the government for allowing the show to go ahead, branding it an "insolent sex party".
In a letter to authorities, a representative for opposition group Muslim Brotherhood writes, "Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party? You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging viceand debauchery".
We should salute her instead of criticising her
The criticism mirrors similar outrage in Malaysia last month (Oct09), when Muslim leaders led protests against Beyonce's sexy on-stage antics.
The star subsequently scrapped her concert in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
However, the Egyptian event organiser has dismissed the criticisms - insisting not all Muslims are offended by Beyonce's performances.
Ahmed Beltagi says, "We are Muslims too... this will not stop Egypt from hosting an award-winning, first class artist. We should salute her instead of criticising her".
Pamela Anderson's kids want to live in a trailer forever.
The former 'Baywatch' actress has spent millions of dollars renovating her Malibu home, but says that Brandon, 13, and Dylan, 11 - her sons with ex-husband Tommy Lee - have got so fond of their temporary accommodation in the family's guest house trailer that they don't want to leave.
She said: "It's where all my motorcycles, surfboards and all the fun stuff for the kids is kept, but now that we are in there the kids don't want to leave.
"Even though my house is almost done and we are getting through this contractor hell."
The actress is being sued by five building firms over unpaid bills, allegedly owing over £690,000 for work on her property that she is unable to pay due to having just £2,300 in available funds.
It's where all my motorcycles, surfboards and all the fun stuff for the kids is kept, but now that we are in there the kids don't want to leave.
She has spent over £1 million renovating the £850,000 house - spending thousands on gold pool tiles and £33,000 sofas - but it does not yet have a working sewage system or electrics.
The actress has repeatedly been forced to deny she is close to bankruptcy.
In a statement released by her management team, the 42-year-old star said recently: "These reports are crazy and I cannot believe this has become a media issue. It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home.
In a 20/20 interview airing Friday, Rihanna offers a graphic account of the fateful Feb. 7 confrontation with her then-boyfriend Chris Brown – including the terrifying blankness that seemed to come over him as he assaulted her.
She says all she kept thinking was, "When is it going to stop? When is it going to stop? He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank. He was clearly blacked-out. There was no person when I looked at him."
The fight, she says, started when Brown received a text message from another woman while they were driving away from a Grammy Awards party.
"I caught him in a lie, and he wouldn't tell the truth. And I wouldn't drop it," Rihanna tells Diane Sawyer in the interview, portions of which aired Friday morning on Good Morning America.
"I couldn't take that he kept lying to me, and he couldn't take that I wouldn't drop it … It escalated into him being violent towards me. And it was ugly."
How ugly? "I was battered, I was bleeding, I was swollen in my face," she says.
Their Love Spelled Danger
She felt trapped. "My next option was to get out of the car and walk, start walking in a gown and a bloody face," she says. "I didn't have a plan. That whole night was not part of my plan."
Rihanna believes now that the passionate love affair between the young couple – she was 20 at the time, he was 19 – was an unhealthy one. "The more in love we became, the more dangerous we became for each other, equally dangerous," she says. "Because it was a bit of an obsession."
She also discusses how she eventually broke things off with Brown, and how she feels about him today.
"Love doesn't go away right away," she says. "He didn't accept that very well. Obviously he didn't want us to be apart. But I had to make a decision for me."
Does she hate Brown now? "No, I don't hate him at all," she says. "I actually love and care about him. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up. And just take this as something you had to go through to grow up and learn."
Most Hollywood actresses would kill for the 'Sexiest Woman Alive' title but actress Kate Beckinsale is mortified by it and detests admitting the fact that she's the owner of the title.
The 'Underworld' star was handed the honour by Esquire magazine earlier this year, knocking beautiful Halle Berry off the number one spot.
But Beckinsale insists she has struggled to cope with the alluring name and finds it hard when people quiz her over her new sexy status, reported Contactmusic.
"It's such a nice thing to happen and then immediately it's mortifying. Somebody came up to me in the street and went 'Are you the sexiest woman alive?' And I went 'yes,' and then I thought, 'Errrggh I can't say yes to that!' ,I should be shot on sight for that, it's awful!," Beckinsale said.
The 36-year-old British beauty was also roped in by the publication to create a video where she was seen walking about an apartment wearing nothing but black lingerie.
While Aamir Khan is an extremely talented actor but he was faced by a challenge when he had to ‘look’ like he was in his 20s for his role in 3 Idiots. He had to work hard on looking, behaving and dressing like youngsters these days do. His inspirations were mostly his son Junaid’s friends.
His character in the film, Rancho, is apparently based on his cousin Pablo, who is Mansoor Khan’s teenaged son. Aamir likes the way Pablo is so fidgety that he can’t stay still for a minute. He doesn’t stop to even talk.
Aamir’s wardrobe for the film was based on Ghajini director AR Murgadoss. The fact that Murgadoss always wears worn out clothes or T-shirts that are two sizes large for him was taken into consideration.
Aamir jokes that he had to first work hard to get eight packs for Ghajini and then lose them all to look lean for 3 Idiots. He also admits to borrowing some clothes from Murgadoss. He feels that it was most important to get into the character and feel young to pull it off well.
Shooting experience for 'Tum Mile' has been a "nightmare" for Soha Ali Khan but luckily Emraan Hashmi is not the reason for her displeasure; it's the water.
"I don't think I will able to do this kind of film again. I am glad that it is over. It was physically very demanding, very tiring hard work and I have become quite phobic to water since the film," she told.
Of course, the primary concern of director Kunal Deshmukh was to ensure that none of the cast or crew fell sick because of water. Therefore, strict instructions were issued to keep the water clean. But Soha jests that Emraan probably broke the rule.
“Kunal had given strict instructions not to spit or pee in the water, but I think Emraan did one of the two…the worse one,” Soha was quotes as saying at a press meet.
When asked about the kissing scene controversy Soha said, "It’s all rubbish! I understood when I signed the movie opposite Emran Hashmi, that there might be a kiss, so I was prepared for it.
I was slightly confused when Kunal Deshmukh inserted a second kiss, which was not there when I first heard the script. It has taken little bit of convincing from Kunal’s part, but it’s important to convince your actors. I was prepared for the first kiss but not the second! But it has been done in a very good taste. "
Showering more praises on Hashmi Soha added,"He is not at all like his onscreen image, which most Bollywood actors are! Emran is very professional, and we are very similar, which is why we get on really well. The fact that I liked about Emran is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. "
Produced by Vishesh Films, Tum Mile is set against the July 2005 Mumbai floods and is slated for a November release.

American socialite Kim Kardashian would have never imagined getting beaten up for charity but this is what exactly happened when the reality TV star entered the ring for a noble bout. Kardashian, who got voluntarily into fisticuffs with a fan at the Commerce Casino in California, was punched in the face and had a black eye when the fight ended.
She had tweeted her fears to fans before the bout, when she had confessed being "sooo scared". Her stepdad Bruce Jenner and brother Robert also received punches in the name of charity and shared the losers’ bench with Kardashian. Robert even needed medical attention for a concussion.
"We literally had three days of training to prepare for the event. We didn't expect what happened," Contactmusic quoted Kardashian as writing on her blog. "I knew I had to do it (fight) for charity, since that's what it was all about, but man, my girl could throw a punch!" She added: "Rob is doing fine now and my black eye will be gone soon... I hope."

Neil Nitin Mukesh is the first mainstream hero to have done a scene of masturbation in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail.
Reliving the highly unconventional moments of on-screen realism Neil says, “Frankly if it was some other director I’d have said no. But knowing the way Madhur depicts explicit sexual scenes I said yes.
We shot the masturbation sequence with 450 other actors on the set with me. All the other inmates are asleep when I do it. Now a lot of it has been cropped off. But we still see the character doing it. There’s just a suggestion of it now.”
A portion of the sequence was voluntarily removed from the film before it was presented to the censor board.
Says Neil, “Honestly, after Madhur and I shot the masturbation sequence we found we had gone too far. It was too explicit. It was just not jelling with Indian concepts of aesthetics. So we decided to knock it off quite a bit by mutual consent. We just wondered if the flow of the narration would be hampered.”
That’s not only sexually explicit sequence Neil has participated in for Jail. “In one sequence I go in the night to the bath and see a boy performing oral sex on another. Their pleasure is interrupted by me, and the boy says, ‘You had to come and spoil the fun.’ While we agreed to remove dialogue the scene of oral sex remains.”
Neil’s colleagues say they would gladly do a nude scene for a role. Ranbir Kapoor already has in Saawariya. But auto- eroticism is going too far.
Neil explains, “My nude or masturbation scenes are not for titillation. It’s a very practical need in the script. My character is in Jail without sex for 2 and 1/2 years. What does he do? He naturally seeks pleasure by himself. In the scene that we shot my character fantasizes about his girlfriend and gets his gratification.”
Comparing the moment to the dramatic poignant and memorable sequence in Alan Parker’s 1979 prison drama Midnight Express where the young prison inmate makes his girlfriend undress from across the glass partition dividing prisoners from visitors Neil sighs, “Oh my God! That was a wonderful moment. But we couldn’t show something like this in Jail.
Even the love-making scene with Mugdha Godse has been so aesthetically shot. Like the love making scene between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. It became an out-of-the-body experience for the audience.”
Even the censors’ blocking off Neil’s frontal nudity has been taken in the right spirit by the young actor.
“At first I was upset. I realize I am the first Indian actor to show full frontal nudity. But the scene was that of humiliation, not titillation, like the naked parade in Bandit Queen.
Even though I don’t get raped physically Jail is the first Hindi film to show the hero’s emotional rape. We’ve created all the hell inside prison. Audiences will actually see the horror behind the prison walls.”
Socialite Paris Hilton is said to have had a horrific row with boyfriend Doug Reinhardt on Halloween after he tossed her cellphone out of their limousine.
The two were enjoying the annual costume party thrown by Heidi Klum and Seal on October 31, but after they left the event, they allegedly became embroiled in a furious row as they got into their car.
“She was mad. She jumped in the front seat and (Doug) was holding her around the neck saying, ‘Relax, relax’,” the Daily Star quoted witness Ramon Alves as telling the New York Post.
The argument then reached a climax when Reinhardt allegedly threw the hotel heiress’ cellphone through the car window - forcing Hilton to stop the vehicle and search for the device.
“She was staggering down the street, up and down. And the guy they were with was trying to block anyone from taking pictures. It got very physical. The limo driver was horrified!” a second witness added.

Katrina Kaif has become the first victim of the recent thaw between Abhishek Bachchanh-Kareena Kapoor relationship. The pretty lady who was touted as Priyanka Chopra's replacement in upcoming Dostana sequel has now been dumped for Kareena Kapoor.
Kareena has just completed ‘Kurbaan’ with KJo’s production house, and is currently working on ‘Stepmom’, co-starring Kajol, by the same banner. And the buzz is that she is all set to take over the leading lady’s title from Priyanka Chopra in the ‘Dostana’ series.
The film will now see none other than Bollywood hunks Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham wooing Kareena, not Kat or Piggy Chops. Although Bebo hasn’t been on good terms with both Abhi and John previously, the actors have now agreed to work together.
On the other hand, refuting the rumours of Katrina’s ouster from the much-anticipated venture, director Tarun Mansukhani said that he had never finalised Katrina for this one. “How could I finalise anyone until I finished the script except John and Abhishek who are an integral part of the ‘Dostana’ brand, ” he asks. About casting Kareena, the director said, “We are almost done with the script. At the moment I’m neither confirming not denying Kareena’s presence.”

James Bond girl Eva Green, who had nude scenes in her first film "The Dreamer", says she won't mind stripping again if the role demands.
"I like to show emotions and if that mean being naked and it's not gratuitous I might do it. I won't mind doing the act if the role demands," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Green as saying.
But at the same time the 29-year-old, who featured in Bond movie "Casino Royale", is worried about being typecast because of her looks.
"I am aware of the whole sexy French girl thing. You become a product and people typecast you. It is very stressful because you take it personally if you are not right for a part and you question yourself a lot," she said.
Green also revealed that she is still insecure about her looks.
"I still hate my bum. I am like everybody. I decided to act because I am crazy, I am very much insecure about my looks," she said.
Dannii Minogue has revealed that she decided to bare all for Playboy mag when she found herself in the midst of a financial crisis after her split with ex-hubby Julian McMahon in 1995. The singer then decided to strip her way to money in order to pay her 150,000-pound debt rather then asking her superstar sis Kylie for help.
"My parents didn't want me to do it. My dad was saying, ''Doing this is forever - you can never, ever change it''," the Daily Express quoted Dannii, as saying.
"Kylie knew why I was doing it - I could have asked her for the money, but it wasn't in my nature. I never wanted to admit the trouble I was in. I should have been looking at my finances,” she said.
She added, "I would never disclose how much - but it had to be a lot to look at my parents'' faces and see the anguish in my dad's eyes.
"I don't regret it, but I feel relieved that people know why I did it - it''s a huge weight off my shoulders. It was actually fun and I did feel liberated. I looked at the pictures and thought, ''I look alright!''
"The magazine was the biggest selling title they''d ever had and they had to reprint. My girlfriends went out to buy it and told me I looked beautiful. It then felt like a celebration of me."
As the one-year reign of Hugh Jackman as PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive winds down, it's time to pass the crown to a new deserving hunk. So who does the Australian screen star, Oscar host and current Broadway leading man want to see take the title next?
"Me! I want to be the first to have it back to back, buddy," Jackman, 41, told PEOPLE's reporter on Friday in New York, while attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert (set to air on HBO Nov. 29). "That would be fantastic!"
Though he would like to reclaim the title, the Steady Rain star (who costars in the Broadway drama with Daniel Craig, certainly another SMA possibility) says it's been quite an exciting year as the Sexiest Man Alive, but also one that's been a little demanding.
"I thought there were thousands of other guys that deserved it, but it's been a great year. But now the pressures off," he said good-naturedly. "I can be a slob again."
Victoria Beckham has apparently admitted that her solo singing career was a mistake, albeit one from which she is happy to learn.
The former Spice Girl said that she was "lost" when she teamed up with Truesteppers and Dane Bowers to launch 'Out Of Your Mind' in 2000 following the group's split.
The 35-year-old told Harper's Bazaar: "People never believed the solo singing career, and it wasn't the real me - I was a little bit lost at the time. I don't mind making mistakes."
The mother-of-three has since launched her own clothing collection and said that fashion is her true calling. "I was always pushed into the theatre and dance - it's just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do," she said.
People in Britain are always complaining how skint they are - and then go throw away what little dosh they have by backing the Grimes twins to win X Factor.
It emerged this week that the twins were both born three months premature - which you have to say is one hell of a coincidence - but whoever is backing them must have been born yesterday.
Haven't they heard of Chico, Same Difference, and the MacDonald Brothers? All played the twins' role of hopeless contestants who couldn't carry a tune; all eventually perished - generally about a fortnight after newspaper campaigns to keep them in.
The raison d'etre of X Factor is not to unearth a superstar, it is to get you to pick up a phone and vote - assuming you can prise it from your teenage daughter. Creating pantomime villains like John and Edward is key. In the first weeks we voted for everybody else to get them out. Now, after hugely sympathetic stories in the press, we vote for them to get everybody else out, especially if it's Danyl.
Pantomime is good for the show's supremos (because of cash raked in); it's good for Simon Cowell (because he's the show's supremo); and it's good for Louis Walsh (because he's BEHIND YOU).
But the pantomime season is a short one, particularly if Les Dennis is in it, and sooner or later the twins will find they have served their purpose. Three weeks from now the stories about the twins will be negatives ones.
Madonna travels with her children Lourdes Leon, Mercy James and David Banda, to vist the Mphandu la Orphanage in the Namitete area outside Lilongwe, Malawi on Thursday (October 29).

By donating to Raising Malawi, you can literally transform the future for an entire generation. To encourage your involvement, I’ve pledged $100,000 to match your contributions dollar-for-dollar.”
Katie Price aka Jordan hates sex and refused to make love to her former husband Peter Andre for four months during the last two years of their marriage, her best friend has alleged.
Jordan’s closest friend for 15 years, Michelle Clack, who was also her chief bridesmaid, made the revelation just days after the glamour girl’s divorce from the singer was finalised.
"Jordan was my best friend but I can't stand by and watch how she's treated Pete. After everything she's been saying I believe the truth about their marriage has to come out,” the News of the World quoted Michelle as saying.
Michelle revealed, "Even though Kate has built her reputation on sex and being sexy, it's all an act for work. She doesn't actually like sex and will usually do anything she can to avoid having it.
"Over the last two years their relationship had become almost entirely sexless. Her excuse would always be that she was working hard and had three kids. She'd always say to me, ''Oh no, I'm always too tired, I can't be bothered''.
"But it didn't sit right with Pete because this all happened at the same time she started to go out on the town much more and dress up very sexily. Jordan was back.
"Kate uses sex to get things she needs. When she first met Pete she said her sex life was awesome - just what she's saying at the moment about her new boyfriend Alex Reid."

Sir Elton John scrapped a sell-out gig in Britain at short notice on Friday night (23Oct09) after falling ill with influenza.The Rocket Man was due to play to more than 13,000 fans at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England but pulled out just hours before he was due to take the stage for his Red Piano show.

Madhur Bhandarkar’s film, Jail, has been passed by the Censor Board with a ‘U/A’ certificate. But Madhur isn’t exactly smiling from ear to ear as they gave it a ‘U/A’certificate only after chopping off seven scenes.
The seven scenes that were snapped off include Neil’s nude scene, a homosexual scene, Neil and Mugdha Godse’s love-making scene, a sex joke, etc. Abusive dialogues are also no longer a part of the film. Even though Madhur wasn’t entirely ok with the decision, he didn’t want to release the film with an ‘A’ certificate.
Madhur fought a good bit for Neil’s nude scene as it was already blurred. But the authorities were unwilling to budge.
The Regional Officer of the Censor Board stated that it was necessary to remove some scenes if a ‘U/A’ certificate had to be given.
They would have been more liberal if the director was aiming for an ‘A’ certificate. He feels that the film is well researched and very thought provoking and that the authorities loved the film.
Katrina Kaif is going ga ga over Kareena and their bond. Recently giving an interview to a news channel Kat was excited to talk about her friend. Not many people know that both the vivacious actress shares the same manager too.
“She is very nice girl and I like her as well as her work. We even shares one manager and I am a big fan of her,” says Katrina.
There had been news in the industry about their cold war but with this statement of Kat, she is putting it all the rumours at rest.
Kareena Kapoor was the unchallenged queen of B-Town at as far as her price was concerned. But Katrina Kaif started competing with her at every turn: with the price, the number of film, as well as endorsements.
“Whenever we meet each other she talks with me very nicely and I too love her company. I really do admire her as one of the great actress in the industry,” she states in the interview to the entertainment channel.
Looking at this statement it seems the cold war between the two actresses has ended. All’s well that end’s well is what we can say in this case.
