At the India Fashion Week in Mumbai which took off this week there’s much to look forward to.

Last evening (Saturday) Ranbir Kapoor walked the ramp for the first time.

“I was as nervous as I was for my first shot of Saawariya,” said the rising superstar.”But this was something I had to do for the sake of my friend Arjun Khanna.”

Designer Arjun Khanna and Ranbir have been friends forever. “He’s my neighbour and a dear friend. I try to wear his clothes as far as possible.”

Recently when Ranbir attended his best friend’s wedding in Goa he wore Khanna’s sherwani and other wedding clothes. Just last week for a photo-shoot in Bangkok all his clothes were done by Khanna.

“I try to be faithful to Arjun’s clothes because he knows my likes and dislikes and styles my clothes accordingly. Walking the ramp is something I would’ve never done so early in my career if it wasn’t for Arjun.”

Himesh has had enough of his status as a one-man music industry. At least for now.

In his forthcoming films he wants to introduce at least one new singer in each one of his forthcoming starrers.

Himesh feels he owes it to the industry. “I think I must give new talent to the music industry because even I was a newcomer once. And fresh untried talent always works since my music usually caters to a younger audience which is always on the look-out for fresh unconventional voices.”

For Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekh Mudh Mudh Ke which is a love triangle Himesh intends to introduce new singing talent for the two leading ladies Niharika Singh and Jennifer Kotwal. “I came across some mindblowing female voices while I was judging Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.I’ll be using these for M2KNDM2K”.

On Friday Himesh Reshammiya recorded his 75th song.

“I’ve already released fifty songs and I intend to use the twenty-five songs that I’ve in my music bank for the four films Karzzzz, Kajraare, A Love Iiisshtory and Mudh Nudh Ke Na Dekh that I’m starring in.”

Himesh intends to introduce four new singers in these four films

“50 Cent: Blood on the Sand” is the name of 50 Cent’s second video game due to be released this fall by Vivendi Game Sierra label. In an interview for MTV News on Wednesday, the rapper said that he was inspired by his son and by Leonardo Di Caprio’s movie ‘Blood Diamond.” Furthermore, 50 promises that this second game will be way better than the first one called “50 Cent: Bulletproof” which only grossed $31 million.

David Kim, Sierra’s marketing veep explained why they decided to make the second game: “The research showed that there is definitely interest in a second game. We’re trying to work on improving the game quality,” he said according to Variety.

50 Cent told MTV that “Blood on the Sand” is more realistic than “Bulletproof”: “I think for entertainment purposes it’s better to do something like that than to make it feel like it’s totally real. Because you’ve got some people out there, people that should be in Creedmor [psychiatric facility] that are still on the street. They can’t decipher between entertainment and reality, so you gotta make it a little more out-there.”

Tom Cruise surprised cast and crew on set of the new ‘Star Trek’ movie this week, after stopping by to see pal J.J. Abrams.

Cruise’s visit fueled rumors the actor, 45, would be making a cameo in the new Sci-Fi flick.

“Tom visited the set of the movie and chatted with J.J. Abrams,” a source close to the actor tells MSNBC.com’s The Scoop.

The last time the ‘Top Gun’ star was set of a movie he wasn’t said to be signed on for — Tropic Thunder — it turned out he had a small role.

The visit to the Star Trek set, however, was for pleasure, not business.

“He asked J.J. if there’s a way he can meet Leonard Nimoy. He said he’d always really respected his work,” said the source.

Nana still not fully recovered from the foot injury that he obtained on the sets of Horn Ok Please,seems to have got himself into a very uncomfortable situation here.

“Bachchi kya bol rahi hai?” he asks in his characteristically convivial tone. “If she had any complaints she should’ve said so on the sets, no?”

Nana admits he was taking more than a passing interest in the item song. “I’m the leading man of the film. Mera haq banta hai. I think after more than 35 years in the industry I’ve earned the right to make suggestions.

If that’s seen as interference, so be it. I won’t stop being passionate about my work just because it’s seen as interference.

Why only this bachchi, during Welcome I was exchanging ideas with Anil Kapoor who’s a lot more senior and nearer to my age.

And as far as interfering with the choreography is concerned you know how good I’m with my dancing. With two left feet, one foot injured, I don’t think I can be accused of giving dance tips,”he laughs heartily.

Name it and the actor has done it!!

Whether it is the intense character in Ek Haseena Thi, the funny and adorable guy in Dil Chahta Hai, the angry man in Omkara, the confused character in Being Cyrus, the insecure lover in Parineeta, Saif has excelled in all the roles and this indeed speaks volumes for the actor’s talent!

Noted trade analyst says, “The industry has always spoken of the three Khans when it spoke of star power — Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman. Then Hrithik Roshan made it to the premium list and also Akshay Kumar.

These five actors called the shots, commanded the best fee, while their films fetched incredible prices. Post RACE, Saif Ali Khan has joined the club”.

Saif’s talent has been accepted and acknowledged post his sparkling performances in earlier films, but Race has cemented his position as a star with tremendous following.

Malaika Arora and her husband Arbaaz Khan celebrated their 10th marriage anniversary.

“I don’t know how these ten years have passed. It’s been so unreal, such a dream!” sighs Mrs Khan.

“How do we manage to avoid all temptation? I guess there’s an angel watching over our marriage. Arbaaz and I make a conscious effort to share domestic responsibilities.

When I’m out working he looks after our son. Without a doubt our baby is our top priority. Any the work I do has to center on his schedules.”

She has just done her a first film with her husband. “It’s a marital comedy called Shaadi Ke After-effects. I’m not Arbaaz’s wife in the film. I play the temptress and I’ve an item song with him.

It was great fun working with Arbaaz. Now I want to do a full-fledged film with him. I want to do a comedy with my husband. So far no aspect of talent has been tapped except my dancing.”

Now Malaika will be extremely cautious about the item songs.

“But if tomorrow a Farah Khan tells me to do a song with Shah Rukh, of course I’ll do it. But it has to be something worth my while. It’s always been nothing but the best for me.”
