Actress Lara Dutta is all set to become mommy and her happiness knows no bounds.She said, "It's a beautiful experience. Everyone is pampering me, and the dos and the don'ts just don't stop. It's a lovely experience."
So has pregnancy happened at the right time for Lara? "It was the next step, the most natural next step. We are glad that we've been blessed," the mommy-to-be is heard to have said.What's the preference then: A girl and pink ribbons, or a baby boy in a blue cradle? "Any of the two is welcome. There's no gender preference for me! We have thought up a few names - some boy names and some girly ones."
Bipasha Basu is surprising close friends by making friends with the unlikeliest of names. First it was Shahid Kapoor, who is currently shooting in London. Now we hear she's pallying up with Salman Khan, John Abraham's jaani dushman.
While Bips and Sallu weren't friendly, that status quo seems to be changing now. Basu wants to start anew, both personally and professionally. Buzz is the Bongshell is keen on working with Khan and might even shoot a song in his brother Sohail Khan's next production, Sher Khan. Bips and Salman's last film together was the 2005 hit No Entry.
A source explains, "While they were never friends, they weren't enemies either. She maintained a distance from Salman when she was seeing John. Now that he's out of the picture, she's keen on bridging the divide. In fact, she has been a regular at Galaxy Apartments (Khan's bastion) for Arpita's Ganesh puja for the last two years. She has been texting him quite often these days, and they even seem to have discovered a shared passion for poetry. She has introduced Salman to her favourite couplets and lines."
Sallu begins work on Sher Khan before Dabangg 2. And there's a good chance she may feature in the film if this friendship continues. "Bipasha definitely wants to work with Salman. She feels that several opportunities were lost in the past. Now, if there's such a chance, she'll grab it with both hands."

Says a source close to Asin, "During the entire London schedule, Subhaan appeared to be completely smitten by Asin and kept showering her with gifts from chocolates to lollypops, roses and teddy bears. The eight-year old would keep following her around.
She found it very sweet and spent as much time as she possibly could with him. This is the first time that Asin has found a young, male admirer." Wonder if Neil Nitin Mukesh is listening? Had he had taken tips from the kiddo, Asin wouldn't have broken off with him.

A little birdie chirped that the Ishqiya gal has gotten hitched to her UTV head honcho beau. True? We wish we knew!
If we had a rupee for every rumour that we heard about B-town stars, we would be living in Ibiza partying it up every day on the profits. But if we listened to only the true stories that float our way, we wouldn’t even be able to take a bus to the next stop! Here is a new one that we heard just today: Vidya Balan, the woman who is reportedly flaunting every curve she has and then some in her new film, Dirty Picture, has done the dirty with her reported beau. We are not talking about anything seamy or sleazy here, or anything a respectable family-oriented lady like Vidya (ahem ahem) would do, but the M word itself – marriage.
Yes, according to one little birdie, the Ishqiya star has married her tall, wide and handsome man-friend, Siddhartha Roy Kapur, the man she was photographed holidaying in Goa with, the man we think she coyly refers to as “SRK” when she is asked about her personal life. And now the happy twosome is said to be honeymooning somewhere or the other. If this is really true, we wish Vid and Sid all joy. If this is another story, we wish we knew what the truth really is. But considering that we hear so many rumours which eventually turn out to be honest fact, we wonder what we should be thinking right now. After all, remember some of the other rumours we heard recently: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant; Lara Dutta is pregnant; Bipasha Basu and John Abraham are no longer a couple; Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor are a couple…but wait, all those actually are true, aren’t they?
Abhishek Bachchan's ready for daddy duty when wife Aishwarya Rai has their baby in November 2011 - and he's already making time in his busy schedule for the new addition to the family. Buzz is that 'Dhoom 3', which was to begin shooting in November, has been delayed as Abhi wants to spend time with Ash.
Abhishek plays Inspector Jai Dixit in the 'Dhoom' franchise, part three of which was to have begun shooting in November 2011. But as Jr B has asked for time off, the movie will now probably start shooting in December 2011 or maybe even January 2012.
Yash Raj Films had no issues with changing the dates as the Chopra family is very close to the Bachchans. While Yash Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan have worked together since the 1970s and share a great rapport, sons Aditya and Uday are very good friends with Abhishek and Ash, both of whom have worked in the 'Dhoom' movies.
While Abhishek and Uday (who plays Ali in the franchise), who are old hands at 'Dhoom', prepare for their roles, so does Aamir Khan. Aamir plays the villain (reportedly a gymnast) in the latest and his scenes will apparently only be shot around May 2012.
Actress Lara Dutta is all set to become mommy and her happiness knows no bounds. She said, "It's a beautiful experience. Everyone is pampering me, and the dos and the don'ts just don't stop. It's a lovely experience."
