Both Katrina, Kareena have sexy bodies: Akshay Kumar

NEW DELH: Akshay Kumar has worked with both Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in several films, but can't decide who is better. The action king says both are "wonderful actresses" and have "sexy bodies".

"Both Kareena and Katrina are really good but who is the better among them depends on their roles in the films. Otherwise, both of them have sexy bodies and are absolutely wonderful actresses," said Akshay when asked to choose his favourite of the two.

Akshay has done four films with Katrina including "Namastey London" and "Singh Is Kinng", while he has worked with Kareena in five that include hits "Ajnabee" and "Aitraaz". The two are set to scorch the screen once again in their upcoming action-cum-romantic drama "Kambakkht Ishq".

"In 'Kambakkht Ishq', Kareena has performed very well. Her character required to answer back at me and be strong and she has portrayed it in a powerful, yet lovable way. On the other hand, even Katrina was really good in 'Namastey London'. So it's not really about my choice... it all depends on their roles," the actor told.

Akshay, who has spent more than 18 years in the Hindi film industry, says acting with a new league of actresses is a learning experience.

"I cannot particularly point out what I have learnt from them (Kareena and Katrina) yet, but yes, working with them was a learning experience," said the actor, who has also teamed up with Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Ayesha Takia.

Family members turn out for BET Jackson tribute

LOS ANGELES: Top black performers paid high tribute to fallen pop star Michael Jackson at BET Awards where his sister Janet Jackson and father Joe Jackson made their first public appearances since the singer's death.

The show's most moving moment came in a final tribute when Janet, a pop star in her own right, took the stage to thank the audience for turning out to honor her dead brother.

"To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family, and he will forever live in all of our hearts," said Jackson, her voice choking as she held back tears. "On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support, we miss him so much."

She was followed by host Jamie Foxx and R&B singer Ne-Yo singing a tender duet of Jackson 5 hit "I'll Be There."

Is Katrina Kaif A Cartoon Addict

Would you believe us if we told you that Katrina Kaif, all of 24 years, is a cartoon addict? We were at Katrina’s place recently for a photo shoot, and couldn’t help noticing the cartoon characters all over. Picture this: a large flat screen TV is set on Cartoon Network, on the table of her lounge is a fat Spiderman pop-up book, she is wearing a t-shirt that has Olive Oyl admiring Popeye’s muscles and we won’t even get started about her shoes which had tiny cartoon characters on them.

Kat's Call: No Sallu Please

MUMBAI: It seems Katrina Kaif wants to play it safe this time around. It's her birthday next month and the actress wants to celebrate it with her family in London away from the controversy that marked the affair last year.

The leading lady of Bollywood had to be on the receiving end of embarrassment after beau Salman Khan created a scene over SRK's comment and the two had a major arguement that virtually divided the B-Town into two factions.Katrina has decided to celebrate the occasion with her family in London this time. According to reports she wants to meet her siblings and spend time with her family.

With Kat's deciding to avoid controversies around her big day celebration, we wonder how Salman will react to Kat's call...

Akshay Doing It For 21st Time With Karisma-Kareena

MUMBAI: Akshay Kumar's bond with the Kapoor sisters, Karisma and Kareena, goes back a long way. Not many will know that although SAUGANDH (1991) was Akshay Kumar's debut film, it was Promod Chakraborty's DEEDAR, opposite Karisma Kapoor that he first signed as a hero. Since then it's been a long journey for the 'Khiladi' and his association with the Kapoor sisters has always been quite fruitful. Amongst the many films that saw Akshay with Karisma, the ones that stand out are Sunil Darshan's JAANWAR (which marks the comeback of Akshay Kumar after seven consecutive flops), HAAN MAINE BHI PYAAR KIYA and EK RISHTA...THE BOND OF LOVE. With Kareena it has been BEWAFA and AJNABEE amongst others. The first film that Akshay signed opposite Kareena was Sunil Darshan's TALAASH...THE HUNT BEGINS. The 'Khiladi' recalls how Kareena, who was a baby during Akshay's DEEADAR days, used to come to her sister's set to watch the shooting. Obviously the Darshan brothers, Dharmesh and Sunil have long been associated with Karisma and Akshay and so Kareena's inclusion was always on the cards. Though TALAASH flopped, yet Akshay and Kareena continued to be paired and Abbas-Mustan gave the pair their first hit with AITRAAZ. This was followed by further flops films like DOSTI-FRIENDS FOREVER and TASHAN. However, with KAMBAKKHT ISHQ looking like a winner, it appears that the Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor pair is here to stay for a while now, even though Akshay-Karisma pair may now be done with, as Karisma has almost retired and is happily married.

Incidentally KAMBAKKHT ISHQ is the 21st film that Akshay Kumar is doing with the Kapoor sisters, a record of sorts!

Gwen Stefani struggling to balance motherhood and professional life

Singer Gwen Stefani is finding it hard to maintain a balance between her motherhood and professional life.

The ‘No Doubt’ star says that she is “exhausted” from overworking herself.

Stefani reunited with the band for a tour following a five-year hiatus.

During that time, Stefani also had two children – Kingston, three, and Zuma, 10 months – with husband Gavin Rossdale, and worked hard on her clothing line L.A.M.B.

And now, the 39-year-old crooner is struggling to juggle her business ventures and her role as a mother.

“I am exhausted. I”m not going to lie, with the babies, and the band, and the records, the tour, designing,” the Daily Star quoted her Stefani as saying.

“But I”m so grateful we”re still able to do this,” she added.
