MALiNI'S MUMBAI
I'm here: Sanjeeda from Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka
Small screen big parties

If you're a big primetime soap opera addict, you might want to hang around Juhu this evening because you're likely to spot a whole lot of small screen super stars associated with Balaji Telefilms.

It appears Bohemia has become a favourite haunt of Mumbai's tele-stars, after the cast of Miilee celebrated Holi there on Wednesday.

Ekta Kapoor will be making an appearance tonight to launch her latest TV drama entitled Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. KHNK will air on Star One from Monday to Thursday at 10 pm, starting March 20.
Shake that thing: Sanober
Rang barse

While, the Big B didn't have his annual Holi bash this year, the eagerly awaited extravaganza thrown by Aditya Motwane and his wife Laila at their bungalow Gyan Ghar in Khar — bouncers and all — was a huge success and rocked well past 5 pm.

From what I hear, Sivamani kept the glitzy revelers in a trance with his tunes and offered a natural high for those who chose not to indulge in anything more potent. Spotted among a very colourful crowd were Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan, Abhishek Kapoor (aka Gattu), Ashish Chaudhary, David Dhawan and his wife, Javed Akhtar (minus his Mrs since Shabana is currently in Goa shooting for Zoya's new flick), Ekta Kapoor, Sheetal Mallar and Sanober (sporting micro mini blue shorts and gyrating away).

The star of the event, however, was Yuvraj Singh, who refused to budge from the dance floor and spent a fair amount of time under the sprinklers (of which they had organised two truck loads). His (ex?) girlfriend Kim Sharma, was also seen sweetly serving him food and water. Meanwhile Sohail Khan seemed hell bent on his mission to drench Amrita Arora, who didn't seem to mind it at all.
Getting into the skin of the character: Aftab Shivdasani

He appears to have packed on a bit of a paunch. Let's hope it's just the baby fat he put on for his role in Shaadi Se Pehle (presumable, so he wouldn't outshine the movie's lead star Akshaye Khanna in the cuteness quotient.)
We like to party: Arbaaz Khan

Hands on hopping


Yet another luxury lifestyle magazine — HOT — promises to sizzle into existence tonight (judging by their hot pink invitations) with a launch party at Squeeze.

Malaika and Arbaaz Khan, Amrita Arora, Shivani Kapur, Upen Patel, Dino Morea, Sohail and Seema Khan, Carol Gracias, Acquin Pais, Diandra Soares, Pia Trivedi, Himesh Reshammiya, Rashmi Nigam, Ashish Chaudhary, Ken Ghosh, and Aditya Panscholi have promised to be there to heat up the dance floor.
Sharon Stone at the premiere of Basic Instinct II: Risk Addiction at The Vue Cinema in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday
Still sexy at 48


Sharon Stone says the reason she looks good at 48 is that she always takes the stairs.

Speaking at Wednesday night's UK premiere of her new film Basic Instinct II, she said, "I'm thinking I ought to make an exercise video. I've exercised a little but over a long period of time."

She was joined at the premiere by her British co-star David Morrissey.

Stone said Morrissey made a very sexy leading man.

Speaking about their nude scenes together, she added, "I was thrilled when he took his clothes off."

Basic Instinct II: Risk Addiction sees Stone reprise her role as ice-pick-wielding killer Catherine Tramell.

Morrissey plays a psychiatrist hired to evaluate Tramell after the mysterious death of a sports star character played by former footballer Stan Collymore, who also attended the premiere.

Horsing around:
Caterina Murino
Caterina's hot trottie


Italian beauty Caterina Murino gives fellas a gee-up as she rides out on the set of the latest Bond movie.

The 31-year-old actress, who plays 007's lover Solange in Casino Royale, looked hot to trot as she rode a horse across the sands in the Bahamas.

The film — starring new Bond actor Daniel Craig — hits British cinemas in November.

We're sure the shots of Caterina (right) will get most stallions rushing to see it.
I need a bodyguard: Anastacia
Anastacia's 'protective' new man

Singer Anastacia has reportedly found love with her English bodyguard Wayne Newton. The Left Outside Alone hitmaker (32) and hunky Newton (38) allegedly started dating during the star's recent European tour.

However, according to British newspaper The Sun, Newton wasn't single when he began dating the sexy singer — his fiance Lorraine Elston was at home with their two children in Kent, England.

Newton tells the paper, "The problem with Anastacia and me was that we went from a professional relationship to being friends. But I can't talk to you about my private life."

Anastacia's spokesman says, "Anastacia makes it a point to never discuss her relationships."
Ship shape: Katie Holmes
with Tom Cruise
Tom 'weds' on cruise

Tom Cruise and fiance Katie Holmes have declared their love for each other in a bizarre "wedding" ceremony — on a ship. The couple exchanged rings emblazoned with triangular Scientology symbols as fellow cult members John Travolta and Kirstie Alley looked on.

The ceremony is said to have taken place aboard the cult's ship Freewinds as the couple headed to the Caribbean isle of Aruba to celebrate Tom's 43rd birthday.

Katie and War Of The Worlds star Tom plan to wed for real later this year. Asked about the ship ceremony, a spokesman for Cruise said, "All I can say is they are not married in any sense of the word."
