Kareena learns belly dancing for IIFA awards

Bips didn't korbo, now it's belly Bebo

Kareena to learn the waist-wiggling dance before Bipasha does
By: Upala KBR


Bipasha Basu's arch-rival Kareena Kapoor has pipped the Bong bombshell to the post. Though Bips expressed a desire to learn belly danching, she never got down to actually doing it. Bebo is now learning belly dancing for a performace n international film awards event that will take place next month in Macau.
A question of time
Says a source, "Though Bips proclaimed that she was learning belly dancing, she didn't have time to learn it before she left for the shoot of All The Best — though she did learn swimming and driving. Now, Kareena will be one up on her as she's taking belly dancing lessons from Shiamak Davar, who is also choreographing her act. Bebo starts her lessons from tomorrow after returning from Hyderabad."
Pulling out the stops
Says a source close to Kareena, "Apart from the fact that Bebo's being paid a whopper — she is easily the highest-paid actress in the show lineup. Kareena is pulling out all the stops for her act. It's an all-out Billu act — with a Turkish-Arabian feel."
Arabian feel
The source continues, "Manish Malhotra is designing her outfits. In one of the songs, she will be dressed like an Arabian princess with gold harem pants made of silk, satin and lace. Kareena will perform to Marjaani from Billu . Today she goes to perform for a show, comes back tomorrow, shoots for a jewellery ad shoot and in the evening starts her belly-dancing classes."
Choosy does it
Says Bebo, "I'm performing at the awards this year and am taking belly dancing classes for my act. This will be the first awards event I perform at this year. I've become very choosy about where I perform. I am performing at this particular award show as it gives me an international standing. Also, this awards event celebrates its 10th year and this is the third consecutive year I will be performing for them."
Saif better watch!
Is she also going to perform for Saif? "Well he's attending the awards as he's having a press show for his home production Love Aaj Kal, so he better be watching my act!"

mid-day

Dressed as an Arabian princess. I think Kareena will be able to carry it off, and look stunning.

oh God! I'd rather watch Bipasha belly dance!

Normally I dont think kareena's a great dancer either, but if she's taught, she'll learn. She has time, lol

^ i dunno.. i think that she takes stage shows for granted, and does very limited steps.. she only does enough to get by.

=//.

i'm no fan of her performances.. i guess i'd be very excited if it was bipasha (only because she was the first to vocalize her desire to do belly dancing) or priyanka (because this lass takes stage dancing seriously.. it's always a joy to watch her groove on stage!).

Looking forward to her performance!

and what is this I see..

Is she also going to perform for Saif? "Well he's attending the awards as he's having a press show for his home production Love Aaj Kal, so he better be watching my act!"

*winces.*

i dont think i'm ready for kareena on stage yet!

and don't get me started on mauja hi mauja!

i used to LOVE the song when it first came out.. but then to see her dance on that ONE song on ALLLLL award shows, parties, events just killed it.! and that too in almost the same costume! Ugh!

Bad memories right there! =P

.

I wanted to see Shahid dance to that song, but i think he only did it's remix version for like 30 seconds once, and that was that.!

Its a new song, and its her song. I think she'll be fine. I loved marjaani, and I'm hoping Shiamak will choreograph is better than the original, which was really messy IMO
