Hear-say - Ash/Abhi and other articles

Abhishek Bachchan and wife Aishwarya Rai took the title Jhoom Barabar Jhoom a little too literally during a special screening of the film. Abhiash arrived at the spot with potlis of coins and started throwing them on the screen. But the coins fell on the special guests seated in the front row instead. Abhishek, unable to contain himself was seen hooting, giggling and dancing with Ash.

This annoyed the guests and an embarrassed Shaad Ali, who put together the show and friends virtually hid their faces. As the credits rolled Ash, Abhishek and Preity cheered aloud but Lara and Bobby kept their dignity by being sober. Known for being well mannered, daddy Amitabh should have given tips to his son and daughter-in-law.

Urmila Matondkar is seeing green these days. Incidentally that's the colour of the itsy bitsy outfit Mallika Sherawat dons in the Mehbooba number from Himesh Reshammiya's Aap Ka Suroor. Now we all know, how Urmila had patched up with Ramu and given her best to the same track that she's set to perform in Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay. But even before the promos of her sizzle act were out, Mallika had taken away the fizz by gyrating to the track and setting hearts racing.

Now Urmila is left fuming considering it's going to be a tough act to follow to match Mallika's oomph, even for the original oomph queen herself. If it's any consolation though, her patch up with Ramu seems to be paying some dividends. He is set to produce the sequel to Ek Haseena Thi, with Urmi in the lead role again. Saif will be reprising his role in the sequel and the film will go on the floors soon. Mallika may have stolen her thunder, but with a new lease of life to her flagging career, Urmila can say, Ek Haseena Hai.

While Bipasha's rumouredly painting the two red with Saif in tow, John is said to be feeling blue during his southern sojourn shooting for Kukunoor's next film. What he's missing apparently, is not Bips, but his new bike. What else did you expect? John had ordered for a custom-made bike and to his utter dismay, the delivery of the bike happened just the day after he left for his two month long schedule.

His friends in Mumbai say that John's been itching to get his hands on the bike and go for a ride but since he's been shooting with Nagesh even on Sundays he's not been able to get away even for a day. His parents have been given the responsibility of looking after the bike in his absence and there's a staff member guarding the bike 24x7. With all this attention paid to his new bike, Bips obviously has reasons to complain.

Sushmita Sen had some domestic problems recently. And you thought divas don't have problems like lesser mortals do! Sush who resides in the terrace flat of her three-storey accommodation faced plumbing issues as the system gave away. With all her electronic gadgets running the risk of being ruined, Sush didn't think it wise to wait for help to arrive. She got to the task herself, spanner and tools in hand to fix the problems. Meanwhile, boyfriend Manav Menon was left baby-sitting Renee.
