Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra back together at New Year

Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra back together at New Year: Bollywood's celebrated on-again-off-again couple, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, is reportedly back together, and what's more, they are set to ring in the New Year together at an undisclosed location in Chandigarh.

Shahid, who has been shooting for his father's film Mausam near Chandigarh, will be taking the weekend off to spend time with Priyanka.

Although Priyanka's spokesperson vehemently denied this, our source insists that the couple is back together. Says he, "Shahid and Priyanka are back together. The couple recently reunited when Karan Johar SMSed them to be a guest couple on his chat show Koffee With Karan.

That's when they met and sorted out their misunderstandings and problems. After they went on the show as a couple, they realised that they were in fact victims of misunderstandings created by other people.

Now that they are back together, they have decided that they need to spend more time with each other. Subsequently, Priyanka, who declined all New Year eve live performances, decided that she would join Shahid in Chandigarh."

The source further said, "They will be staying at a resort but no one knows the exact location. And in a way the two owe it to the host of the chat show who unwitting brought them together by offering them an opportunity to iron out their differences."

The two actors started dating while shooting for Kaminey. We noted that the spark of the on-screen chemistry had hardly dimmed on the show. Take your show on the road, we say.

2011 The Bollywood entertaining Year!

2011 The Bollywood entertaining Year!: Romance, action, comedy, real life stories... Bollywood is geared up with an interesting line-up of releases in 2011, starring big names like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan and Ajay Devgn who have more than one film on offer. Vidya Balan, a perfect combination of beauty and talent, will start the New Year on a serious note with No One Killed Jessica. Based on the murder of ramp model Jessica Lall, the film directed by Rajkumar Gupta, is releasing Jan 7. It also has another powerful performer, Rani Mukerjee.

Vidya will be seen in another real life story Dirty Pictures, a biopic inspired by the southern sex symbol Silk Smitha's tragic life.

The serious mood will soon be dispelled by the release of fun flicks Turning 30 and Yamla Pagla Deewana. While the former, starring Gul Panag, is an effort to entertain audiences through the story of a 30-plus single woman and her woes, the latter will see the three Deols - Dharmendra and his actor sons Sunny and Bobby Deol indulging in funny antics.

None other than Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan will appear in his wife Kiran Rao's directorial debut Dhobi Ghat, about the city of Mumbai and four ordinary people whose lives intersect and become forever altered as they journey through longing, loneliness, loss and love. Releasing Jan 21, it also features Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra and Kriti Malhotra.

Aamir is expected to appear on screen again at the end of the year in Reema Kagti's yet-to-be-titled movie.

Madhur Bhandarkar's first comedy Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji will wrap up the first month of the year. The National Award-winning filmmaker, known for making hard-hitting movies, forays into comedy with Ajay Devgn and a host of other actors such as Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee and Shruti Haasan.

Ajay, who had the maximum releases in 2010 and has been named the most profitable male actor of the year, once again has the highest number of releases in the new year - Tezz, Rohit Shetty's remake of Tamil hit Singham, Aarakshan, Rascals, and Shetty's Diwali comedy with Abhishek Bachchan.

It was not a favourable year for Akshay Kumar, but he may climb up on the hits list with his first release of the year "Patiala House". His role is inspired by the first Sikh cricketer in the English team, Monty Singh Panesar, and the promos look promising. In the latter part of the year, Akshay has several releases lined up - Thank You, Desi Boyz, Joker and Housefull 2.

2010 was a National Award year for Priyanka Chopra, but this beauty queen couldn't give any big hit. The glamorous actress, who shocked and surprised her fans with her zara hatke performances in "Fashion" and "Kaminey", will be seen as a femme fatale in Saat Khoon Maaf. It seems the actress is trying to make her body of work versatile as her next release Barfee will see her as deaf and dumb.

Just like January, the second month will also end with a smile with the release of the comedy Tanu Weds Manu that has R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut.

Abhishek Bachchan was appreciated as freedom fighter Surjya Sen in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se, but the film couldn't create a buzz at the box office. In March, the actor will return with the thriller Game that will hopefully have a better fate at the ticket window. His other releases are Players and Rohit Shetty's Diwali comedy.

Sunny Khanna, director of Mumbai-based production and distribution house Watch Tower International, said: "It will be perhaps for the first time that all the biggies will have multiple releases in one year in 2011. But the major point is the corporates have again got the movies at extreme prices and they are going to bleed. Let's see how much the audiences will spend this time."

There are other big stars with multiple releases in 2011, but the dates are not finalised yet.

Shah Rukh Khan will have two releases, Don 2 and Ra.One, as well as the animation movie "Koochie Koochie Hota Hain" where he has given the voiceover.

Saif Ali Khan's long-awaited home production Agent Vinod, which will see him in the lead, will hit the screens. He will also be seen playing an important role in "Aarakshan".

Salman Khan is expected to repeat the success of Dabangg with three releases in 2011 - Ready, My Love Story and Bodyguard.

His Kites couldn't fly high, but the actor is set to prove his worth with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and the remake of Agneepath.

Ranbir Kapoor, who emerged as a dark horse, thanks to his performance as a scheming politician in "Raajneeti", will take his versatility to another level with "Rockstar" and "Barfee".

While John Abraham will be seen in the Hindi remake of Tamil action cop drama Kaakha Kaakha and two sequels Dostana 2 and Housefull 2, Sanjay Dutt will feature in Rascals and Double Dhamaal.

It wasn't a great year for Sonam Kapoor, but she bagged three projects - Thank You, Mausam and Players" - all coming in the new year.

Katrina Kaif will entertain her fans with her roles in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

Kareena Kapoor has Shah Rukh's home production Ra.One and her boyfriend Saif's movie Agent Vinod as well as Short Term Shaadi in her kitty.

Imran Khan, Aamir Khan's nephew, is a good actor, but it seems lady luck is eluding him. He may turn the tide with three releases - Delhi Belly, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Short Term Shaadi.

What Katrina Kaif to do at New Year?

What Katrina Kaif to do at New Year?: Every year, Katrina Kaif packs her bags in the last week of December and flies to London to be with her family. However, she may not be able to do so this year.

The reason being that she is busy with the shoot of the Yashraj film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with co-stars Imran Khan and Ali Zafar. The shoot continues till December 31.

Still Katrina says she might fly to London after completing the shoot. Her only worry is that the flights to London are not cancelled due to inclement weather. Europe has been witnessing heavy snowfall lately. After all, she doesn’t want to ring in the New Year waiting at the airport.

Rumour even has it that she may fly to Dubai to join Salman Khan and his family, but Katrina has ruled that option out.

Katrina and Priyanka both girls not performing at New Year?

Katrina and Priyanka both girls not performing at New Year?: Recently it was reported that Priyanka Chopra has turned down an offer to perform at a New Years’ bash to retain her diva image that she has built up over the years.

On the other hand the tabloids were rife that Malaika Arora and Katrina Kaif will try to out-do each other with their respective hit item numbers. Malaika with “Munni Badnam Hui” from the film ‘Dabaang’ and Katrina with “Shiela Ki Jawani” from ‘Tees Maar Khan’ were to perform at two different venues of the same hotel chain.

Later on it was revealed that Katrina will be joining her family at UK for the New Years and hence there will be no face-off between Malaika and Katrina during the New Years’ bash. But now Katrina has said that she will neither be joining her family this time nor will she be performing for the live audience to sexy number “Shiela Ki Jawani” during the 31st Dec’ night.

It has been reported that Kats has turned down a lucrative offer of Rs. 3.5 crore offered to her for the performance, while Piggy Chops has earlier turned down Rs. 3 crore. On the other hand Malaika has decided to postpone her New Yeas even family party to dance to Munni number for an undisclosed exorbitant amount.

Katrina while talking about the New Years’ live performances said that she would like to enjoy herself rather than dancing in front of the audience. She even took a possible dig at Malaika by telling that performing at such an event is like telling people that “I don’t have a life”.

After last time Kaif has been conscious to stay out of such a New Year’s program since she was almost taken to a court by an organizer after she backed out from perform at a Mumbai’s luxury hotel. So this time two B- town hotties Piggy Chops and Kat have decided to go the same way of not performing on New Years’ eve.

We hear that SRK will be joined by friends like Karan Johar, Hrithik Roshan, Sussanne Khan and possibly Chunkey Pandey and his wife as well. Arjun Rampal, who’s a regular in the SRK camp, might not make it.

SRK and the gang will leave for Dubai on December 30.

Katrina Kaif rejected 3.5 crores offers for New Year eve

Katrina Kaif rejected 3.5 crores offers for New Year eve: Katrina Kaif cannot sacrifice her New Year celebration at any cost. Quite literally, the lady turned down an offer of Rs 3.5 crore to dance on her ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ anthem from ‘Tees Maar Khan’ on this New Year eve.

While Malaika Arora postponed her New Year vacation with husband Arbaaz Khan, when an entertainment group offered her a large undisclosed sum for her ‘Munni’ gig, Kat chose to stay away from the drunken revelers on December 31.

A source close to Katrina revealed, “A suburban luxury hotel offered her Rs 3.5 crores for the gig. Frankly, Katrina was tempted. But she backed out in time.”

Interestingly, the stunning ladies, both acquainted to Salman Khan have revealed a contrasting attitude to their dance numbers.

On asking Katrina about any dancing offer at this New Year eve, she said, “Are you crazy? I am not dancing at any hotel on New Year`s eve. To be entertaining a live audience that night instead of enjoying oneself as another year slips in - how sad is that! It`s almost like you are telling the audience, `Hey guys, I don`t have a life.”

“It`s true I am not going on my annual family holiday, but the reason is not a lucrative dance offer,” she added.
