Sexiest Cover girls & Hottest Cover boys

Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor emerged as one of the hottest selling actresses of 2008. Kareena gave a tough competition to Katrina Kaif where the latter was voted as the sexiest and most downloadable on the internet. Kareena Kapoor's bare back on the Filmfare cover this year, made her the sex symbol of Bollywood. Kareena was also voted as the 'Miss Popular' of Bollywood in a poll conducted by Indiatimes Movies.

John Abraham
Yes, John Abraham gave a tough competition to the ladies in 2008 as he posed on the Filmfare cover almost naked! With his swimming trunks pulled down to show off his curvy derriere, John Abraham proved how he and not the Khans are the hottest property of Bollywood.

Katrina Kaif
Katrina's 'Yuvvraaj' might have failed but that didn't deter her from winning the most number of covers in 2008. Be it Vogue, Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Katrina Kaif was everywhere and looked smashing on all the covers. However according to us it was her Maxim cover that made men drool the most.

Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor is probably the youngest to have been featured on almost all the covers if we may say so this year. Elle, Vogue, Grazia, L'Officiel... the Saawariya beauty showed us that she has arrived. Her Grazia cover gets the fifth position in this countdown. Poised, elegant and very stylish, Sonam Kapoor is only getting better by the day.

Daniel Craig
How can we not have a 007 featured in this countdown! Daniel Craig posing with pretty young things for GQ's Indian cover was scorching hot. Dressed impeccably in a tuxedo, Daniel's cover was one of the most popular of 2008.

Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik with his drop dead gorgeous looks and tanned body showed a sensual side of emperor Akbar as he posed in an unbuttoned white shirt and pant for Vogue.

Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie's Vanity Fair Magazine July 2008 Cover was a huge hit. Those Red hot pouting lips and seductive eyes left her admirers spellbound.

IPL is no big deal for TV channels

Bollywood may have taken a backseat but Hindi entertainment channels are undeterred by the Indian Premier League (IPL) craze that will hit the small screen Friday. Most of the channels have launched new fiction shows to keep their regular audience hooked.
Imagine TV, formerly NDTV Imagine, has launched two new shows - "Jamunia" and "Kashi" – and Sony has started "Godh Bharai", with all three having aired their first episodes on International Women's Day Monday.
Sab TV kickstarted Indian satellite's first silent comedy series "Gutur Gu" earlier this month and others like STAR Plus and Zee TV have recently started airing shows of "Sasural Genda Phool" and "Behnein" respectively.
The channels feel cricket won't take their core audience away.
"The IPL is no big deal. It comes and goes and is a matter of just six weeks. But our shows run for a much longer time. IPL doesn't really take away what we believe is our hardcore audience. People will still come and watch our channel as much during IPL as they do at any other time. It doesn't affect us," said Gaurav Banerjee, head (Content Strategy), STAR Plus.
Anooj Kapoor, the business head of Sab TV, is nonchalant about the effect that IPL could have on his channel.
"Fortunately, in the last two seasons of IPL, we haven't got affected. I think that's probably because there is a section of audience that wants humour irrespective of IPL.
And whether or not the viewers come more fleetingly during IPL, they never go away. That's the reality of our channel and so we have no apprehensions," said Kapoor.
According to Shailja Kejriwal, executive vice president (content), Imagine TV, IPL will affect the viewership of entertainment channels only when they have lots of new shows or if most viewers have single TV homes.
"IPL could have a 15-20 percent effect on any new show that a channel may have launched. Not on a show that a viewer has been watching for over a year or so because once the event is over, viewers will bounce back for old shows.
"Also, in single TV homes, men want to watch cricket; so it is possible that women, who make our core audience, can't watch their favourite shows," she said.
Meanwhile, leading channel Colors has safeguarded its Television Rating Points (TRPs) by joining hands with IPL to launch a series of new entertainment initiatives around IPL and its players.
"With our IPL entertainment, we are sure a lot of cricket lovers will want to experience the thrill of 'cricketainmnet'. Last year IPL did dent our viewership a bit, but that was expected considering it's one of the most anticipated sports events of the year," said a spokesperson from the channel.
Starting Saturday, the channel will see the launch of "IPL Rockstar" - a music competition to be held in the cricket stadiums. It will see 12 singers competing to be IPL Rockstar 2010 and will be judged by ace crooners Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher.
Colors will also have a special IPL edition of "Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi" in which various cricketers will compete with one another in adventurous tasks. To be hosted by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, it will be showcased later in the year.
An "IPL Awards Night" is also in the pipeline as part of the special offerings by Colors

Prince overtakes alien love. Phoonk and Paathshaala to follow

After a long slate of small or dull releases in the IPL season, this Friday finally saw comparatively bigger releases. Vivek Oberoi’s action thriller Prince opened to mixed reviews but fetched a good opening. The slick action, cinematography and three sexy beauties pulled in audiences in good numbers and the collections showed a steady rise over the weekend. The business is better in single screens as compared to multiplexes.
The Aladin couple Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez’s second film Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai seems to have the same fate as the first. The film opened to poor reviews and even poor collections. Saturday was slightly better than Sunday but overall the business is bad.
Aparna Sen’s The Japanese Wife starring Rahul Bose, Raima Sen, Moushmi Chatterjee and Japanese actress Chigasu Takaku catered to the niche audiences inclined towards artistic cinema.

The coming week sees three releases. Ahmed Khan produced Paathshaala stars Shahid Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Ayesha Takia and takes a look at the educational system. The film also stars a string of prominent child artists but very few film with a children theme meet with a positive fate at box-office like Taare Zameen Par. So let’s wait and watch if this one even comes close to it.
The second release is Ram Gopal Varma’s sequel to his last horror hit Phoonk 2 , directed by Milind Gadagkar, the writer of the original. Whether it will be as big hit as the predecessor is to be seen.
The third release is a relatively less known film titled Muskurake Dekh Zara with all newcomers and the only identifiable name on its credit list is writer Anurag Kashyup.

Film: Prince
Position: 1
Director: Kookie Gulati
Cast: Vivek Oberoi, Aruna Shields, Isiah, Nandana Sen
Upside: Slickly shot and edited, interesting premise, decent music
Downside: Lackluster performances, ludicrous sci-fi plot, dull screenplay

Film: Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Position: 2
Director: Milap Zaveri
Cast: Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ruslaan Mumtaz, Vishal Malhotra
Upside: Promising premise, Good chemistry between Riteish – Jacqueline
Downside: Bland screenplay, corny dialogues, doesn’t pass msuter
Running Week: 1
Trade Comments: Started on a low note on Friday but business showed slight improvement over the weekend. But business dipped again Monday onwards. Overall not a great crowd-puller!

Kareena’s excited about her new Begum look?

We love bebo in her body hugging, super sexy outfits she wore in Kambakht Ishq. But we are also loving Kareena’s kohl eyed, anarkali cum sari cum ghagra choli look she has been sporting for a while now. The chandelier earrings and kohl eyes combo is making Kareena look every bit the choti begum of Saifu.
We analyse what Bebo must be thinking about her new look herself! Presenting her thought bubbles...

Don’t I look like a begum already! Look my nailpaint matches the colour of Saifu’s Padma Shri medal!

Oh, he is such a tease! He just whispered to me that I look prettier than his mum! I am delighted but can’t show off my excitement, she’s the original begum after all!

Saifu, I know you are chivalrous but watch out for my nailpaint! I just got my nails done from a parlour before coming here.

 

This outfit might seem too bright but when you see me wearing this in the palace, it looks perfect.

See, I told you he likes me in pink.

Kareena Kapoor accompanied Saif to Jaipur for the promotion of the movie ' Love Aaj Kal ' where she wore tight-fitted leggings. Bebo just thought of using her leggings as pants or may be the actress was just too busy to look herself in the mirror.

Coco was the centre of attraction in a net see-through gown that made her assets a public show at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, Florida.

Gul Panag caught the attention of the shutterbugs flaunting red lingerie underneath a grey transparent shirt. Ironically the event was MTV Lycra Style Awards
