New Layout - Can't Be Tamed

So i made the new layout based on Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed. The votes were really close too! Every time i checked they were even and it was hard to make a decision but i decided that since CBT just released it would make more sense if the layout was based on that. But don't worry the HM 4Ever style will still be used once the fourth season begins to air on disney channel :)

So what do you think of the style? Comments are always welcome :)

Claudia Ciesla ready to add spice to films nowEveryone following the third season of Bigg Boss must remember the German model and actress Claudia Ciesla, who added the much needed spice to the show in Colors channel. The hot actress is now going to debut in Kannada films with the movie Private Number. Claudia has already made her debut in the Hindi movie 'Karma'.

Claudia will be seen as the best friend of the heroine. In real life, Claudia has made director Anand Kumar's wife her best friend in Bangalore.

Currently, the songs of the films are being shot in Bangaore. Now, the 'Malay banthu malay mellane' number is being picturised on hero Preethan and the heroine Niharika, the dance of which is directed by Lakshmi Ayyar. Ramnarayan has penned the lyrics of the song.

"Sting sang my favourite song 'Desert Rose' as an encore, tweeps! My friend Charlie introduced me to him, so I thanked him in person. Sting is one of the greats, I do declare, " Mallika wrote on her Twitter page Friday.

Kareena Kapoor Is Going To Play The Sex Worker In Heera Mandi

Kareena to play a sex-worker in `Heera Mandi`Kareena Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali will finally be working together on Sanjay's next film after Guzaarish. The two had been hoping to work together for a long time but their plans fell through every time. Once Kareena returns from shooting for Agent Vinod in Morocco, the two will meet and finalise their project together.

Kareena and Sanjay were supposed to work on a film on Mahatma Gandhi's son after Devdas, but circumstances forced Sanjay to shelve the film.

They then planned Bajirao Mastain with Salman Khan, but that had to be scrapped after Kareena and Salman's Kyon Ki flopped.

Then Sanjay got busy with Black and Kareena could not be a part of it as her sister Karisma and Black's male lead Amitabh Bachchan's son Abhishek had just broken their engagement. But now, it seems the two will finally get together.

Aamir Khan Turned Down KBC 4 & Big B Accepted It

Aamir turned down KBC 4 but why did Big B accept it?Allright! He may have said in an interview to a news channel that he was never offered 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 4' in the first place, but it's no secret that Sony Entertainment Television and BIG Synergy were keen on working with Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan.

A prominent Mumbai tabloid had first reported on Aamir Khan being offered the show. Producer Siddhart Basu was quoted saying that Sony Pictures, which owns the format, might have had an initial discussion with Aamir.

The actor's spokesperson too had neither confirmed nor denied the story. In another report, Basu claimed that Aamir is one individual who he would like to work with.

Just few weeks back, the buzz in the air was that it will be Aamir who will make his TV debut as the host of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 4'.

Rumour has it that a popular news channel was even going to go ahead and break this news. However, everyone was shocked when it was learnt that it won't be Aamir but Amitabh Bachchan who will host the show. We were the first to report this story.

Well, it just wasn't the public, but we too were taken by surprise by this development. Earlier, we'd broken the news of Khan being offered two projects – KBC 4 and orginal concept. However, it was KBC that he was expected to sign. So what went wrong then?

A industry insider says, “Look while there was no formal offer, top officials from Sony did meet the actor. As always, Aamir takes his own time to respond.

Unfortunately, for Sony, Aamir turned it down. He felt that doing TV is an enormous task. Aamir was simply of the view that he's not ready to take up such big responsibility as yet. Besides, he didn't have the time as he'll be busy, looking after his home productions.”

Second choice simply doesn't exist in the Bollywood superstar's lexicon. After reading all about, Khan, why did Amitabh Bachchan accept the show then?

“If it's KBC and Big B, there's simply no question of a second choice. Let's not forget that it's Bachchan who had propelled the show both in season one and two. Besides, I don't think Mr. Bachchan has any airs. Sony is confident that with Bachchan back as host, KBC will get the same numbers as it did for Star, ” added the source.

Well, speculations, comparison, and theories around KBC won't end. Now that Bachchan is back at the helm, the viewers will simply say, “Let's play' Kaun Banega Crorepati'!

Mallika Sherawat With Salma Hayek In The Hollywood Film

Mallika and Salma Hayek together in a Hollywood filmIt has been a long time since Mallika Sherawat was seen in any of the Bollywood flicks. She was missing from the industry as the sexy lady was busy with her ambitious Hollywood projects. Bollywood filmmakers might have stopped offering her roles, but the doors of Hollywood have now opened for her.

Miss Sherawat's first overseas project The Myth with Jackie Chan, has inspired her to take up the route to Hollywood. She has already acted in Hollywood movies like Hisss and Love Barack. Now, Mallika is going share screen space with the Hollywood actress Salma Hayek. In fact, the two ladies have reportedly bonded very well.

During the Cannes film festival, Mallika met Salma Hayek, who expressed her interest to work together in future.

According to the sources, “Mallika is soon going to appear in a Hollywood project with Salma Hayek. They got friendly during the Cannes festival and discussed a lot about cinema. Mallika's Hiss act has impressed Salma and she praised the lady greatly.”

The source added, “They remained constantly in touch even after returning to the US. They have also met for dinner since then.”

Mallika and Salma starrer film is supposed to be a women-centric one and Sherawat will be seen in the central character.

The source further informed, “The much talked about movie's story revolves around the abuse on women, which exists all over the world. Mallika loved the storyline and has shown interest to be a part of it.”

Salman Khan Is Going To Be Bodyguard of Deepika Padukone

Salman Khan may turn Deepika`s Bodyguard!If all goes well, then Salman Khan may turn out to be the bodyguard of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone!

Don't get confused, he is very much into acting and it will be for the sake of a film only. There is a speculation that the Hindi remake of the South Indian director Siddique's Malayalam film Bodyguard, will be cast will Deepika Padukone opposite the Wanted star Salman Khan.

The Malayalm version of the film was released in March. The leading South Indian director Siddique wrote and directed the film himself.

The story of the film deals with a young man, who gets attracted to people, with heroic qualities and follows them like a bodyguard. But, the interesting twist comes when he is hired to accompany a businessman's gorgeous daughter to college as a real bodyguard.

In the Malayalam version of Bodyguard, South Indian actors Dileep and Nayantara were in the lead roles. Currently, the director is busy with the Tamil version of the film, which stars Asin and the South superstar Vijay.

Many other filmmakers approached Siddique but only Atul Agnihotri managed to get the rights for the Hindi version of the film. Siddique will take up the role of the director and writer in the Hindi version after completing the Tamil one.

Salman Khan has confirmed playing the lead role but Deepika is not sure yet. Atul informed that they were still working on the script. He added, “We are still completing other important tasks before we decide on signing the actors.”

Atul said that the shooting of the film will commence on December 6 in Ranikhet.

Shahid and Sonam Turned Into Adult Stars Overnight With Mausam

Mausam turned Shahid-Sonam into overnight adult starsAfter playing the giddyheaded starry-eyed young lover-girl in all her films so far including the about-to-be-released I Hate Luv Storys, Sonam Kapoor in Mausam is all set to play a girl who evolves into a woman in the course of the film.

Her clothes which are always a source of powerful on-screen personality-transference for her have been worked on at great lengths by designer Anamika Khanna.

And the result, says a member of the crew, is no less than devastating.

Apparently Sonam was initially reluctant to get into the mature mould.

“She had reservations about being bracketed in the maturer mould so early in her career. In all her films so far from Saawariya to Thank You Sonam has played girls her own age and dressed accordingly, in what she's comfortable with. The Western clothes that 'd transform her into a chic Delhi socialite in Aisha are as much a part of her personality as the salwar-kameez that she wore in Delhi 6.”

Apparently designer Anamika Khanna who has worked earlier with Sonam in Delhi 6 has been poring over the designs with Sonam trying to figure out what clothes she's most comfortable in.

Shahid who needed to make a sartorial changeover to play the mature mellow lover in the later part of the film, has also been heard joking about how Mausam has turned him and Sonam into overnight adult stars.

Says the Mausam producer Sheetal Talwar, “Shahid has sported the mature mellow look in Jab We Met. But for Sonam the transformation from girl to woman in Mausam is a challenge. Before she left for Scotland Sonam wanted to be completely comfortable in her new avatar.”

Saif Ali Don't Want Kareena Kapoor to Miss Her Sister Karisma Kapoor's Birthday

Saif doesn`t want Kareena to miss Karisma`s birthdayFrantic efforts are on to accommodate Karisma Kapoor’s birthday into her sister Kareena’s choc-a-clock schedule. But it seems unlikely that the busy actress would be able to join her Didi for her birthday on June 25.

Ironically it is Saif who seems more concerned about missing Karisma’s birthday.

Says a source, “Saif gets along like a house on fire with Karisma and her husband Sanjay. The two guys often share a lot of outdoor fun activities together. Saif doesn’t want that he and Kareena should miss her sister’s birthday this year. ”

Saif’s concern and guilt for the sisters not being together on that very special day is heightened by the fact that Kareena would be shooting for his film Agent Vinod in Morocco on Karisma’s birthday.

Kareena rules out that possibility of Karisma flying down to Morocco “How can my sister fly down to Morocco? No, she’ll be in Mumbai with her baby. She has just had a baby boy who’s not even four months old. She can’t leave the city. ”

Interestingly Kareena seems to handle her absence from this important day in her sister with much pragmatism and common sense. “How can I be in Mumbai? I’ll be shooting in Tangiers in Morocco on my sister’s birthday. Work always comes first in our family. So there would be no birthday plans with my sister this year. ”

The over-worked sister says she won’t even have time to buy anything for Karisma this year. “There’s no time to breathe. Forget buying anything. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going, ”sighs Kareena.

Kareena has never missed any of her sister’s birthday. In recent years Kareena had quite often gone to join Karisma in Delhi when the elder sister was staying in the Capital with her husband.

This time Kareena is trying to focus on Saif’s project rather than on Karisma’s birthday. “ I looooove the title Agent Vinod. It’s the coolest. We’ve already started shooting for it. We leave for Tangiers in Morocco on 22 June for twenty days. ”

Imran Khan Proposed Juhi Chawla?

I proposed Juhi Chawla before Avantika: Imran Khan Three film-old Imran Khan says he had an eternal crush on Juhi Chawla and that he would love to work in a film like "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak", which was his uncle Aamir Khan's debut vehicle.

"While growing I had a huge crush on Juhi Chawla. I loved her in 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'. I actually proposed to her as a child, " Imran told reporters at the Landmark book store at Infinity Mall. He was here to unveil a special two-book collection of Mills & Boon series based on his forthcoming movie "I Hate Luv Storys".

"I would love to act in a film made similar to 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', " he added.

The actor, who plays a non-romantic guy in "I Hate Luv Storys", insists he's very old fashioned and traditional when it comes to love in real life.

"I am a very old fashioned and traditional guy when it comes to love. The proof of this is I have been with the same girl for the last eight years, " said Imran, who is engaged to Avantika Malik.

Asked what qualities he looks for in a girl, he said, "Apart from physical attractiveness, I like if the girl is funny and cracks jokes, however, at the same time someone with whom I can also have an intellectual conversation. A lot of girls say they like funny guys. This is true for guys also as they like girls with good sense of humour."

Kareena Kapoor Don't Have Time For Her Sister Karishma Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor has no time for Karisma nowFlies to Morocco almost as soon as she lands in Mumbai from Hyderabad, has asked mom, sis and niece to meet her at airport

Kareena Kapoor cannot take time out for sister Karisma Kapoor's birthday (on June 25). In fact, she is so busy that her mother Babita is packing her bags for an overseas schedule ahead of the actress' return to Mumbai.

Says Kareena, "I am shooting in Hyderabad till June 23. I land in Mumbai at 9 pm and from the domestic airport, go to the international terminal.

I board a flight to Marrakech, Morocco for Saif's Agent Vinod in a couple of hours after that. It's so hectic that I won't be able to go home and pack. In fact, I have told mom to pack my stuff and meet me at the airport."

The actress says she's sad, as it is one of those rare occasions that she will miss sis Karisma's birthday as well.

"I have asked Lolo and Samaira to come to the airport for half an hour so we can sit and chat in the car. I don't know if Samaira can come so late at night but I'd love to have her come. I am feeling terrible that I won't see her for more than a month."

She adds. "I told Lolo to pick up a gift for herself and that I'd pick up the tab later. There's just no time for anything. I am shooting double shifts in Hyderabad -- Rohit Shetty's Golmaal 3 in the day and three cell phone ads at night. After the schedule of Agent Vinod in Morocco, I join SRK's Ra.One unit in London. I will return to India only in July-end."

There's no respite for Kareena till year-end. "I have three films to complete -- Golmaal 3, Ra.One and Agent Vinod. Then Madhur's (Bhandarkar) film starts in December. Then I am endorsing 11 brands and have performed at every award show this year.

In September and October, I get busy with the promotion of Golmaal 3 and Karan's (Johar) Stepmom. In fact, I have requested Shah Rukh to keep a schedule of Ra.One in Mumbai so I can be there to promote Golmaal 3. He has agreed."

In talks
There's a buzz that Kareena has signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heera Mandi. Says a source close to the actress, "They're in talks. Nothing's official as of now. Bebo and Sanjay have been keen to work with each other for three years now.

There's no script locked in as of now. Sanjay has offered her a couple of scripts including Heera Mandi. Once, she's done with her overseas schedules, she will meet him and discuss which script to sign. They will definitely work together next year.".

Interview with KLAUS BADELT



"...dig a very deep hole, get your ego in there, put it underground for a while, and just work."
May 3, 2010

Interview with Klaus Badelt at the ASCAP EXPO in Los Angeles, April 2010.

ASCAP: Welcome, Klaus, thank you for being here. You had a panel earlier, tell me what your panel was about.

KB: I was at the panel of film composition and I think there’s a lot of song writers and writers here at ASCAP. I understand that many of them might be interested in how to create film music and I was probably supposed to say how this works, and if there was only one way in doing this I would have told you…

ASCAP: You actually went from being a programmer to being a film composer. What was your path?

KB: I actually started with film more than with music. I had a super 8 camera when I was ten, and I filmed my neighbor, and did all that before I had my first keyboard. So my love was always film and then music. That’s how it came together.

ASCAP: Tell me about the first film you ever worked on.

KB: I came to America 15 years ago and my first film I ever worked on was a $100 million production called “The Time Machine,” that was the first one I did under my name. You can imagine, I was a bit nervous.

ASCAP: How did that happen. How did you get that job?

KB: I was working at the time at the studio of a very famous film composer. He didn’t have time, and how things work that way when you have a mentor, he said: “You know, Klaus can do this.” And so I had to write all the major themes over night, play them to this fantastic producer [Walter F. Parkes] - he did all the Steven Spielberg movies. I was pretty intimidated.

ASCAP: At the time you were working with a mentor and that’s how you ended up getting a job. Is that something that you recommend to people who are interested in getting into the business?

KB: I think there are two main ways of doing this: One way is to either do the mentorship, try to get someone who is doing it. Ghost write, you know, dig a very deep hole, get your ego in there, put it underground for a while and just work - for someone else. The other way is to maybe go to film school, try to meet directors, young directors, do short films, and just do a lot of things on spec.

ASCAP: You kind of had a little trial by fire. Your first film was absolutely enormous. You worked on a lot of films since. Does it ever get any less intimidating?

KB: That’s a great question. Because the actual job is actually as intimidating as before. I have a lot of respect for the job. Writing doesn’t come easy for me. It’s really a big challenge. Like one writer, a script writer once told me, what you do is you pour gasoline all over yourself and then you burn yourself. And then you start feeling it, and you have to let go. You have to suffer, you have to torture yourself a little bit first. It’s not like, you pull out your guitar and have a great idea and you play that. Sometimes it works that way, but it’s a bit deeper often.

ASCAP: So when you’re about to start a new film, where do you start? How do you get inspired?

KB: I try to go behind what’s on the screen, it’s always about: What’s the story? Who are the characters? I think my responsibility is to make you feel for the character, and not score what you see. Because you see that anyway, sometimes you have to do all that too. I think that’s a big difference between writing songs free and writing songs or writing scores for film. You have to service, you have to create an emotion, you have to support something, at the same time writing something which has substance on its own.

ASCAP: Tell me, what’s your impression of ASCAP so far?

KB: I see ASCAP as a great melting pot, as a great opportunity for everyone to come together. I said before, I think ASCAP is my best publisher, they do the job of getting writers together, promoting, I love to write, and collaborate together on a score. Songwriters for example. ASCAP is a great opportunity for all the songwriters to come together and get to meet me and vice versa. You get a lot of synergy like that.

ASCAP: This is your first ASCAP Expo. How has the experience been so far?

KB: It’s quite a blast. I haven’t been here before. There are a lot activities. I like the support you see from all sides. Everybody is very very hungry for information.

ASCAP: And are you providing the information to them?

KB (laughs): Well I can’t give anybody a recipe, but I love to talk about it.

ASCAP: Well thank you so much for being here.

KB: Thanks so much.

Movie Review Of "Raajneeti"

RaajneetiStarring: Ajay Devgan, Nana Patekar, Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Katrina Kaif, Manoj Bajpai and Naseeruddin Shah

Director: Prakash Jha

Rating: ****

It is said that the epic saga of Mahabharata contains all the stories that exist in this world, be it lies, deceit, lust for power, revenge. In short all those that can make a solid impact.

Prakash Jha taking a cue from this has set his big canvass film Rajneeti against an Indian political backdrop. But then at the same time he has merged dollops of The Godfatherwithin it. Nonetheless, the end product makes a compelling watch.

Cousins Veerendra Pratap Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) and Prithvi Pratap Singh (Arjun Rampal) are heirs of a powerful political party.

But when Prithvi is appointed to take the lead, an angry Veerendra teams up with the backward class leader Sooraj (Ajay Devgan) to plot against Prithvi and evict him from the party. Prithvi’s younger brother Samar (Ranbir Kapoor) who is studying abroad and has no political aspirations gets sucked into the political rivalry between the families.

Under the mentoring of senior party and family member Brij Gopal (Nana Patekar), Samar takes charge of the conniving affairs of state to start their own political party, gather funds and get Prithvi contest against Veerendra. What unfolds next as the battle shifts ground to the elections forms the rest of the film.*

Like mentioned above, as the film mixes in elements from the Mahabharat, Veerendra’s character is a modern day Duryodhan where as Sooraj is Karan, a valiant soldier but on the wrong side.

Brij Gopal played by Nana Patekar is like Krishna, the passive participant of the war who takes Ranbir Kapoor’s Arjun like character to victory with his guidance.

The film is a valiant effort by the master story teller, the multi-time National Award winner filmmaker, Prakash Jha who is at his home ground while making films of political drama genre.

Here he is as ably aided by script writer Anjum Rajabali weaving just the right story and screenplay packing in all the treachery and deceit involved with Indian politics.

What makes Rajneeti an engaging watch is also the fact that the makers have succeeded in narrating the story like a thriller format.

Jha doesn’t waste time in showing lip synced songs and incorporates them well in the narrative playing them in the background. Camerawork by Sachin Kumar Krishnan is simply superb.

The way he has captured those vast mass shots deserves a bow. Although the running time of the film is close to three hours, it doesn’t matter much while watching the film and the credit for it goes to the editor Santosh Mandal. The sound design carries a good impact as well.

Absolutely brilliant performances by every single actor of the mammoth cast, also including those with smaller parts.

As expected Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar and Ajay Devgan are at their best. Arjun and Ranbir manage to match up to them as well and deliver a power packed punch. Katrina impresses with her uninhibited act.

Sara Thompson as Ranbir’s foreigner girlfriend also leaves an impact in her relatively smaller part. But a performance that may win some awards for sure has been delivered by Manoj Bajpai.

He is menacingly good. Shruti Seth, Vinay Apte, Kiran Karmarkar, Chetan Pandit and Nikhila Trikha lend able support.

Rajneeti is an important film in today’s times. It is not to be missed by connoisseurs of good cinemas well as those who forever complain that Hindi cinema offers nothing different.

Movie Review Of "The Camp"

The CampStarring: Sonali Kulkarni, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Mishra, Suresh Chatwal, Krishna Bhatt

Director: Nitin Mahadar

Producer: Sudesh R. Bhosle

Rating: **1/2

The film is an experience of a group of kids along with their camp instructor at a site, far away from the city. The film begins with these kids and the instructor going camp hopping and playing around, having fun when they get an unfortunate surprise.

The film is a collection of events experienced by the kids and the instructor along with two goons who are trying to kidnap a child from the group.

The goons are shown as dangerous but silly. After a few attempts, they finally succeed in kidnapping the child which results in an attempt to rescue the kid. Somehow the goon comedy reminds us of the goon duo in the famous series ‘Home Alone’.

The film starts with a good story line with the instructors teaching the kids rock climbing, trekking, tying knots etc. The activities of the goons succeed in tickling our funny bones. But slowly the story becomes monotonous and predictable.

Some of the scenes in the film do not make sense at all and seem to be forced. Sonali, being a camp instructor, was expected to look a little more fitter, but acting comes naturally to her. The kids have also done a fair job.

The music of the film is decent but one might just lose track, once out of the theater. However, the peppy song by Shaan proves to be an exception. The background score of the film lacks originality too!

All in all it is an average film. A bit of extra knowledge along with a touch of motivation for the kids is the basic idea behind the film. Nothing extra ordinary to look out for, from this one!
