Salman Khan

Salman Khan is always in the news for his bratty attitude and trips to the jail, but yet again the handsome hunk proved to his critics wrong, when he showed his soft and humanitarian side without tom-tomming it.

Salman Khan, was on the sets of music reality show, Chote Ustad last week as a celebrity judge and donated Rs 500,000 to a little girl when he got to know that she was suffering from cancer

The lucky little 4-year-old girl Sahara Shaha was sent by Tata Memorial Cancer hospital along with 3 other children to be a part of the show’s audience.

When Salman picked up the little girl in his arms, a beaming Sahara said, “He is my favourite actor. Meeting him is like a dream come true. I love you, Salman uncle,”

Salman also entertained other kids suffering from cancer, by dancing with them. He went a step ahead and repeated his cliché act by removing his shirt and showing of his muscular body.

Sahara’s mother was equally touched by the star’s generosity, and with tears rolling down her cheeks she was relieved that her daughter can now get proper treatment.

No wonder our muscle man Sallu is loved all over India. All his fans love him for his attitude, generosity, bratty ness and ah! And not to forget his girlfriend!

What's even more interesting is that, King Khan will become the only living Indian to have his statue installed at this museum.

The only other Indian whose statue graces Grevin's is none other than Mahatma Gandhi!

In fact, compared to the replica at Madame Tussaud's, this one is supposed to have more of a likeness to the star, and Shah Rukh himself, is said to be impressed with the handiwork of the artisans.

Shah Rukh is expected to unveil the statue at a grand function, which may also be attended by a few of his close Bollywood friends.

Well, it sure seems like France is as besotted with Shah Rukh as India is, what with the government there having just honoured him with the Insignia of Officer in the Order Of Arts and Literature and is extremely keen that, he visit Paris to promote Indian cinema there.

Spice Girls : Baby Spice becomes Mummy Spice ! Congratulations Emma

2007-08-19T18:21:00.000-07:00

Spice Girl Emma Bunton has given birth to a baby boy called Beau.

The baby was born at London's private Portland Hospital at 1112 BST, weighing 7lb 15oz.
The child is the first for Bunton, 31, and partner Jade Jones, who said they were both "absolutely delighted and can't wait to take Beau home".
"He is absolutely brilliant and both baby and Emma are doing fine. In fact Emma is tucking into some flapjacks and Coca Cola as we speak," he added.

"Emma is upstairs doing really well, just recovering and bonding with the baby. Both are having a little nap right now," he told reporters outside the hospital.
"I'm just pleased to have our little baby boy with us. I'm over the moon. He looks a bit like both of us actually, so he's a very lucky boy."

Bunton and Jones, a former member of defunct boy band Damage, have been together for eight years.
She will join her fellow bandmates on the Spice Girls world reunion tour, which kicks off in the US in December.
The full line-up has not performed on stage since Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell left the band in May 1998.
At the height of their fame, the Spice Girls sold 55 million albums and had nine UK number one singles.
Media hype
The tour will cover six continents, but includes just one date in the UK, in London on 15 December.
The band members have not been far from the headlines in recent months.
Film star Eddie Murphy recently acknowledged he was the father of Mel B's four-month-old daughter after she took legal action to confirm paternity.
And the singer revealed earlier this week that she had secretly married film producer boyfriend Stephen Belafonte in June in Las Vegas.
Posh Spice Victoria Beckham made a much publicised move to Los Angeles last month, where her husband David now plays football for LA Galaxy.

Christina Aguilera - Goes to Australia

2007-08-11T05:08:00.000-07:00

Christina Aguilera will tour Australia for the second time in July.

The Back To Basics tour 2007 will give the Australian and New Zealand audiences the chance to see at totally new show from Xtina.

"It's great that every time I go out on tour, I do come with a kind of a different feel and look and vibe and a different place than I was before musically" she said in a media conference with Undercover. "And it's just really fun for me to get together with my band and to reinvent some of the old material in a new and inventive way. I think my audience really enjoys it".

Aussie fans will also hear one of Xtina's classics reinvented on the tour. "For this one, we are doing a "What a Girl Wants" is one of the songs that we bring back and it's – and it's really fun just because we sort of have an old school reggae twist on it," she says. "So, we have a lot of fun with that one and the audience gets to enjoy these songs in a new light. There are other songs as well, but it is important for me to just you know, reinvent them, give them a whole fresh sound and something new for everybody to enjoy".

Britney Spears - parking

2007-08-11T05:01:00.000-07:00

“There were obviously a lot of paparazzi there and what kind of person wouldn't realize that this (would) be on TV and she had to be responsible and contact me”

Oops, she dinged it again. Paparazzi took pictures and videos of a puppy-toting Britney Spears steering her car into another one as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. Then assessing the damage to her own car only. Then heading off to shop.

But the tale of the tape made it clear to the owner of the parked car just who it was who scraped up her silver Mercedes-Benz.

Kim Robard-Rifkin, 59, told the entertainment Web site CelebTV.com on Wednesday that nobody from Spears' camp had contacted her about the damaged car.
