| John Abraham and Bipasha Basu |
John Abraham won't be celebrating Valentine with sweetheart Bipasha. In fact, today he won't be even meeting her.
No darlings, their love is a strong as ever.
It's just that Johnny boy is in London promoting his film Taxi No 9211, which releases exactly 10 days after Valentine's Day.
This one time, fans are a priority over girlfriend Bips.
Abhi's best friend
Puppies as very popular as birthday gifts. Especially between lovers. Puppies are 'supposed' to be substitutes for babies. But they also make great presents for children... and errr... 30-year-old males too.
Abhishek Bachchan got a Great Dane for his b'day.
We'd love to tell you it was Aishwarya's gift to him... except that the little bundle of joy is a gift from family friends designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
The Bachchan man and his best friend are spending some quality time together these days. PS: Abhishek is still hunting for the perfect name for his new baby. Any ideas, Ash?
New girl on the block
The new girl on the film block Kavitta Vermma (all numerologically correct) makes her debut in T P Agarwal's film Manoranjan which has Bollywood as its backdrop. This 20-something from New Delhi comes from an armed forces family.
"Acting was something I really wanted to do right from the day I understood I had to do something in life. And that's why I did theatre in New Delhi and brushed my skills to improve my potential.
She has also done theatre workshops and also believes in the importance of being educated as "it sharpens your mind before jumping on to the real ambition."
And on Valentine's Day, she takes her first step towards the two biggest happiness of life — a film and perhaps a dream boy!
Karan's shopping

| Karan Johar and Rukhsana Eisa |
If you think all that happens at launch parties is air-kissing and aperitifs, you're wrong.
Party addict Karan Johar was spotted at the Launch party of the new ME — hosted by Mustafa Eisa and Yash Birla and so blown was he that he sourced a lot of furniture from his next film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.
It's 2006, pets; and business and pleasure do mix!
Urmila's locks
We caught Urmila at Manish Malhotra's private preview last night. And may we add, she looked stunning with her cropped short hair.
We were sure it was for a new film and Urmila confirmed, "Yes, this is my look for a new film Bas Ek Pal Ke Liye," Everyone at the party was busy complimenting Urmila.
We are just happy that there is at least one actress who takes pains to work on her look for every film, and doesn't just don those hideous wigs. Take a bow, Urmila baby.
Valentine's Day on Kam Ya Zyaada
| |
| Chavvi Mittal (Disha from Tumhari Disha) and Mohit Hussain; Prachi Shah Pandey and Vishwaas Pandey; Sukanya Kulkarni and Sanjay Mone; Ram Kapoor and Gautami Gadgil; Amit Behl and Vaibhavi |
It was a couple's special on Zee's Kam Ya Zyaada.
The ladies were all at one end and the husbands were to prompt them and help them with their responses.
After the first couple of rounds, the tide reversed and the husbands were supported.
The first to go out of the game were Chavvi and Mohit.
Then came Prachi and Vishwaas followed by Amit and Vaibhavi and finally Ram and Gautami. Sukanya and Sanjay won in the episode.
