Funny, you don’t

BRYN MAWR
NYT SYNDICATE
ETH Shak teetered around
her Main Line home one
day this winter in taxi-totable shoes, stiletto heels
so preposterously high that
she usually staggers no farther than
between a car door and restaurant
seat. “I once dated a very frugal guy in
New York City who expected me to
walk 16 blocks to dinner in 7-inch
heels,” she recalled. “Maybe that’s
why we never twice dated.”
The decolletage of Shak’s red
Valentino shift echoed her scarlet
Louboutins, which are cut so low at
the front that the pillowy folds of
her toes peek out. “I’ve loved high
heels ever since I was a little girl,”
said Shak, a 43-year-old professional poker player. “About eight years
ago love turned into obsession.”
Shak is by far the most obsessive
character in God Save My Shoes, a
documentary by Julie Benasra
about the passionate relationship
between women and their high
heels. As fluffy as a pair of Hello
Kitty bedroom slippers, the film,
takes a soft look at the psychological, socio-cultural and erotic power
of vertiginous footwear.
“Today the high heel is the icon of
desirable femininity,” Elizabeth
Semmelhack, curator of the Bata
Shoe Museum in Toronto, said via
email. “Nothing damns a woman
faster than to describe her as wearing ‘sensible’ shoes.”
When not offering commentary
by fashion historians and luxury
shoemakers, God Save My Shoes
peers into the wardrobes of the
singer Kelly Rowland, who consoles
the slingbacks she hasn’t worn in a
while, and the self-designated
“lifestyle expert” Baroness Monica
von Neumann, who refers to her
shoes as her “everyday lovers.”
What separates the other shoeaholics on display from Shak is her
feverish, Imelda Marcos-like desire
to accumulate high heels, high heels
and more high heels. The camera in
God Save My Shoes pans rapturously over her vast walk-in closet
and the regimented rows of pumps,
wedges and sandals within.
Shak’s shoe closets – she has four
– house what the film’s producer,
Thierry Daher, claims is the country’s largest private collection of
high heels, indulged Hollywood
stars notwithstanding: 1,200 pairs
of size 7s, about 700 of which are
Louboutins. “Do I need these?”
Shak muttered to herself. “I need
these like I need a hole in the head.”
She’s a buoyant talker, coy, vivid
and as easygoing as a pair of
Birkenstocks. Each of her shoe closets is protected by a digital lock. She

steps as a toddler playing dress-up jewel in the crown, a sparkly pair of

Startalk
McQueen, who died in 2010.
Removing the softly molded
leather from its tissuey nest, Shak
marvels at the tilt of the heel and
the sensuous line of the arch. She
smiles, warm and wry: “These shoes
remind me of Dorothy’s in The
Wizard of Oz.” Alas, -they wouldn’t
have lasted three paces on the
Yellow Brick Road.
Shak concedes that even her
favourite shoes sometimes feel as if
they were designed by Torquemada.
Then again, she insists comfort is
the least important factor she considers in choosing footwear.
Typically she falls head-over-heels
at first glance, seduced by the thrill
of slipping into a new persona.
“High heels have a high transformational quotient,” Valerie Steele,
curator of the Museum at the
Fashion Institute of Technology in
New York, said by phone. “Try on a
bathing suit in a boutique, and the
unforgiving dressing room mirror
reflects your same old self, exposing
all your flaws. But try on a shoe, and
your foot slips into a whole new
identity.”
High-heel hoarding has been vigorously explored by Jayme Albin, a
psychologist who appears in God
Save My Shoes. In an email Albin
said that most collectors “become
almost aroused with pleasure from
them, and that is the reward in
itself.”
Which might account for Shak’s
numerous one-night shoe stands.
“Of my 1,200 pairs, maybe 300 I’ve
worn one time,” she said. “Another
200 I still haven’t worn.” In her
suburban home she mostly pads
around like the old-time baseball
player Joe Jackson: shoeless.
A skeptic might ask why Shak
needs 1,200 pairs of shoes when
she’s only got one pair of feet. She
addresses that impertinence during
the opening minutes of the documentary. “I went through a period
in my life where I was really unhappy,” she says, “and the only thing
that made me happy was buying a
pair of shoes.”
Perhaps to atone for the
$500,000 she has spent on retail
therapy, she has given 200 pairs of
her heels to charity and is starting a
website called Beth Shak’s Designer
Shoe Swap. “I’m in a better place
now,” said Shak, who is divorced
from an oil-futures trader. “I buy
less.”
She buys partly with poker prize
money. Her biggest jackpot
($328,683) was won at a 2007 nolimit hold-’em tournament in Las
Vegas while wearing $650 black
Louboutin pumps.
As always, Shak was fashion conscious. Her purse didn’t match her
shoes.
Moore writes parenting book
Eva Longoria’s dating show on the anvil
ACTRESS Julianne Moore has written a book to help children understand different nationalities. Moore’s mother Anne emigrated to America from Scotland
when she was 10 years old and the 51-year-old says her experience inspired
her to create the children’s picture book, My Mom is a Foreigner, aimed at helping kids whose parents come from another country. “I know lots of women who
have mums from Poland, Russia or Puerto Rico - it was considered different.
This book is all about what it’s like to be the first generation in a new country,”
contactmusic.com quoted Moore as saying.
ACTRESS Eva Longoria is developing a TV dating show,
according to a media report. The actress who recently split from
boyfriend Eduardo Cruz, is putting her own love woes behind her
to focus on the upcoming romance series. Longoria is
working on the show, tentatively titled All About Love, in
which matchmakers will set up singletons, reports nypost.com.
The actress’ production company will start work on the
show next month.

NYT SYNDICATE
PPLE updated the iPad
recently with a high-definition screen, a faster
wireless connection and
several other refinements,
all packaged in a device
without any major design changes.
As recent history has shown, though,
Apple may not need a bold overhaul of
the look of its tablet computer to attract
waves of new buyers.
The company said the new iPad would
go on sale at a starting price of $499,
unchanged from the last generation of
iPads. The product will have a screen
that provides a comparable level of clarity to the iPhone’s “retina display,” with
higher resolution than conventional
high-definition televisions, according to
Apple executives. “That is distinctive and
is a kind of leapfrog above existing and
announced products,” said AM
Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C
Bernstein & Co.
And in a sign that Apple intends to
more seriously protect its share of the
tablet market, which is expected to get
more competitive this year, the company
said it would continue to sell its secondgeneration iPad, dropping the price to
$399 from $499.
At a company event, Apple also
showed a new version of Apple TV, the
company’s $99 set-top box for accessing
Internet video, which streams movies in
the sharpest of the high-definition video
formats, called 1080p.
The initial reaction to the tablet computer was mixed, as has frequently been
the case of late with Apple’s new iterations. Apple’s stock price was about flat
in regular trading, ending up 43 cents
higher, at $530.69, a 0.1 percent gain.
The new tablet, called simply the new
iPad, with no numbers or letters after
the name, is an effort to keep growth
chugging along in a two-year-old business that has turned into a major franchise for the company. Apple’s $9.15 billion in iPad sales over the holiday quarter was almost double the amount of revenue Microsoft reported from its
Windows software and not far from
Google’s total revenue as a company
during the same period.
Speaking from the same stage where
Steven P Jobs, the company’s late chief
executive, introduced the second-generation iPad almost exactly a year ago, the
company’s new chief executive, Timothy
D Cook, said the iPad last quarter out-
A
sold the number of personal computers
sold by any individual manufacturer.
“In many ways, the iPad is reinventing
portable computing and outstripping the
wildest predictions,” Cook said.
The new iPad, the third generation of
the device, is nearly indistinguishable
from its predecessor, though it is slightly
heavier and thicker. The most visible of
its changes is the screen, which can display text and images that appear as
sharp as they would on a printed page.
The company said the screen has more
than 3.1 million pixels, or four times
more than the current iPad.
It will also operate on the fourth-generation cellphone network technology
known as LTE.
The iPad will also allow users to dictate email, though Apple did not introduce an iPad version of Siri, a voicecommand virtual-assistant feature that
proved popular on the iPhone 4S.
Last fall, Apple disappointed some
pundits and enthusiasts by making
mostly incremental enhancements with
the iPhone 4S. That product ended up
squashing doubts to become a smash hit,
leading to record sales over the holidays.
During that time, Apple, based in
California, solidified its lead as the most
valuable company in the world, with a
market capitalisation of almost a halftrillion dollars, well ahead of its nearest
rival, Exxon Mobil.
At times, Apple has wowed people by
radically rethinking the design of its
products. Several years ago, it overhauled its MacBook Air with a drastically thinner case. It gave the iPhone 4 a
novel, hard-edged case that looked very
different from the design of early
iPhones.
Charles Wolf, an analyst at Needham
& Co, said those kinds of radical
redesigns did not happen every year,
partly because the smaller components
and other underlying technologies that
made them possible did not change at
that pace. Wolf said he believed that
more of Apple’s innovation was happening in software because it was not as
encumbered by the development of outside technologies in that area. “I always
look at Apple as a software company,” he
said.
The new iPad may show how durable
Apple’s hold on the tablet market is.
For most of the two years the iPad has
been on sale, Apple has faced a phalanx
of competitors from Hewlett-Packard,
Research in Motion, Samsung and
Motorola, yet none has established a
firm beachhead in the tablet business.
A few of those competitors, like HP,
gave up.
In a recent survey of American consumers with tablets by Forrester
Research, 73 percent said they owned
an iPad. That is a sharp contrast to the
smartphone business, where Apple’s
market share has steadily eroded as
phones based on Google’s Android
operating system have swept the market. Phones with Android software
accounted for 51.6 percent of smartphone shipments worldwide in the
fourth quarter, compared with 23.4 percent for the iPhone, according to
Canalys, a research firm.
Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at
Forrester, said the iPad had maintained
its grip on the market because most consumers bought it through retail stores
rather than wireless carriers. “Android
smartphones are selling like hot cakes
because that’s what the carriers push,”
she said. “With tablets, carriers are not
the main destination for tablets.”
The new iPad, though, is likely to face
more serious challenges to the product’s
dominance than in the past. Over the
holidays, Amazon is estimated to have
sold more than 5 million of its Kindle
Fire, a smaller tablet that has attracted a
new group of consumers to the category
with a $199 price tag.
Later this year, the first tablet devices
to use Windows 8, a new operating system from Microsoft, are expected to hit
the market. The software has been
redesigned by Microsoft to take advantage of touch-screen devices.
Apple sold 15.4 million iPads over the
holiday quarter and has sold 55 million
iPads in total since they first went on sale
in 2010.
Cook told the audience recently that
Apple had sold 315 million iOS devices
through the end of 2011 and that iPads,
iPhones and iPods were now responsible
for 75 percent of the company’s revenue.
The chief criticism that some stalwarts of
the PC industry have levelled at the iPad
is that the device is not well suited for
creating content, even if it is good for
consuming it.
Apple, though, sought to undermine
that argument with a number of new
apps. Those include a new version of its
Mac software for editing digital photographs, iPhoto. A new version of Apple’s
GarageBand music software lets up to
four people play together in a virtual
band with iPads that are connected
wirelessly.

FETTUCCINE WITH SWEET PEPPER-CAYENNE SAUCE
Re-create snack cakes,
cookies and chips at home
JENNIFER STEINHAUER
NYT SYNDICATE
HEN you tuck
into a snack
cake, calories are
really
not the point. But the
good news is that homemade treats can be
more nutritious, in an
expansive sense of the
word, than the storebought variety, a nutritional analysis of these
recipes shows.
To wit: a one-ounce
serving of real Fritos has
twice the calories of the ovenmade, and not necessarily
because one is fried and the other
baked; it is likely that the commercial
version has quite a bit of fat mixed into the
dough. And though the commercial Oreos are 40
calories more per cookie, the two recipes could go
easily toe to toe nutritionally. But on the cupcake
front, you’re out of luck: the homemade version had
nearly 9 grams of saturated fat and 59 milligrams of
cholesterol, versus the commercial version, with 2.5
grams of saturated fat and 5 milligrams of cholesterol. Of course, that fat comes from butter, so you
can decide whether that’s not such a bad thing.
Homemade goodies.
W
HOMEMADE FRITOS
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients: 80 grams (about 1/2 cups) stoneground or other fine cornmeal (do not use whole
grain)
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon olive oil or vegetable oil
Vegetable oil for frying, optional.
Method
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut two pieces of parchment the same size as a baking sheet and set aside.
Bring about 3/4 cup water to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and salt.
Add 1/3 cup boiling water and mix with a fork until
smooth. Add one teaspoon oil and mix again. The
batter should be thick and slightly runny; if necessary, add more boiling water one teaspoon at a time
for the desired consistency.
Place one sheet of parchment on a work surface, and
scrape the batter into the centre. Top with the second
sheet of parchment and gently roll out the batter to
about 1/3-inch thick. Transfer the parchment and
rolled batter to the baking sheet. Remove the top
sheet of parchment and score the batter into small
rectangles. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
Allow to cool and break apart. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired, and serve. Or, fry the chips as
described below.
Set aside a plate lined with a paper towel. Fill a small
skillet with about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil. Place over
medium heat and allow to heat for one to two minutes. Test with a small piece of a chip; it should sink
to the bottom of the pan, sizzle, float to the top and
turn pale golden brown in about 30 seconds. Fry half
the chips, using a metal strainer to transfer to the
paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining chips.
Sprinkle with salt, if desired, and serve.
Yield: Two to four snack-size servings.
FAUXREOS
Time: 2 hours, plus several hours’ refrigeration
before serving
Ingredients:
For the cookies:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
the centre of the undersides of half the cookies. To
finish, top with remaining wafers and press
down with your fingers, applying very
even pressure so the filling will spread
uniformly across the cookie. Place
cookies in an airtight container
and refrigerate for several
hours before serving.
Yield: 24 two-inch sandwich cookies.
CHOCO CUPCAKES
WITH CREAM FILLING
A one-ounce serving of real Fritos
has twice the calories of the
oven-made; it is likely that the
commercial version has quite a bit
of fat mixed into the dough. And
though the commercial Oreos are 40
calories more per cookie, the two
recipes could go easily toe to toe
nutritionally
105 grams (1/2 cup) sugar
45 grams (3 tablespoons) brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
115 grams (3/4 cup) sifted all-purpose flour or rice
flour
85 grams (1 cup) sifted cocoa powder, plus more as
needed
For the filling
4 tablespoons shortening or unsalted
butter, at room temperature
145 grams (1 1/4 cups) sifted confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt.
Method
For the cookies: Using a mixer,
cream together butter, sugar,
brown sugar, salt, baking powder,
baking soda, coffee powder and
vanilla extract. With mixer still
running, add egg yolks one at a
time.
Stop mixer and scrape
bowl with a rubber
spatula. Add flour
and one cup
cocoa, and
Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Ingredients:
For the cakes:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
80 grams (1/2 cup plus 2
tablespoons) cake flour
30 grams (1/3 cup) Dutch process
cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup canola oil
110 grams (1/2 cup) plus 2 tablespoons sugar
resume mixing at low speed until the mixture is
crumbly and uniformly blended. Scrape the bowl and
knead the dough lightly to form a smooth ball.
Transfer to a work surface and flatten into a disk. The
dough may be rolled right away or wrapped in plastic
and refrigerated for up to a week; bring to room temperature before rolling.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly sift some cocoa
powder onto a work surface, and roll the dough to
1/8-inch thickness. Slide a metal spatula under the
dough to prevent it from sticking. Using a 2-inch
round cookie cutter, cut out cookies and transfer to
an ungreased baking sheet. The cookies will not
spread during baking so may be placed close together. Knead and reroll the dough scraps to make more
cookies.
To add texture to the cookies, place any remaining
dough in a mixing bowl. Mix with enough hot water
until the dough has thinned into a paste. Transfer
to a piping bag fitted with a very small tip, or a
heavy duty Ziploc bag with a tiny hole poked in the
corner. Pipe a design on each cookie; a tight cornelli lace design gives the impression of an Oreo.
Bake the cookies until firm, about 12 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool completely on a rack.
For the filling: Using a mixer,
cream together shortening
or butter, confectioner’s
sugar, vanilla and salt.
Beat on medium speed
for five minutes, scraping the bowl periodically. The long mixing
time smoothes, whitens
and aerates the filling.
For assembly: Using a
pastry bag fitted with a
plain tip or a spoon,
place one teaspoon (or
more if desired) of filling directly onto
For the filling
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
165 grams (1 1/2 cups) confectioners’ sugar
3/4 cup Marshmallow Fluff
2 tablespoons heavy cream
For the frosting:
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature.
Method
For the cakes: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the
interior of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour,
cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using
a mixer, beat the egg yolks with the oil, 1/2 cup of
the sugar and 2 tablespoons water. With the mixer
at low speed, add the cake flour mixture and beat
until smooth; set aside.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks
form. Add the remaining two tablespoons sugar
and beat until stiff and glossy. Mix 1/4 of the whites
into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites
until no streaks remain. Divide the batter among
the muffin cups, filling them halfway. Bake until
risen and lightly firm, about 15 minutes. Allow to
cool for five minutes, then turn out onto a rack to
cool completely.
For the filling: Using a mixer, beat together the butter, confectioners’ sugar and Marshmallow Fluff.
Add cream and beat just until smooth. Fit a pastry
bag with a round 1/4-inch tip, and fill bag with all
but 1/4 cup of the filling. (Put the extra 1/4 cup in a
pastry bag fitted with a 1/8-inch round tip, or in a
small Ziplock bag, and reserve.) Plunge the tip into
the side of a cupcake, filling just until you feel the
cupcake swell. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
For the frosting: Heat the cream just until bubbles
begin to form on the edges of the pan, add the
chocolate and remove from heat. Stir until melted
and smooth. Add the butter, stirring to combine.
Dip the top of a cupcake into the frosting, flip and
set aside. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Allow
frosting to set, about 20 minutes.
6. With the small pastry bag of filling, or snipping a tiny corner off the Ziplock bag, pipe a tiny
squiggle across the top of each cupcake. Place in
an airtight container until serving.
Yield: 1 dozen.

Jennifer to finally perform in Brazil
Kim to buy Beckham’s home?
JENNIFER Lopez is in Brazil this week for her show Q’Viva, but
she’s never performed in the country. That will soon change
when she headlines a music festival there this summer. The
American Idol judge announced in a statement recently that she
would be performing at the Pop Music Festival in Sao Paulo on
June 23 and in Rio de Janeiro on June 27. Lopez was in Brazil
to promote Q’Viva, the Latin-focused talent show that she hosts
with her ex, Marc Anthony. It airs on Univision and also Fox,
which also airs American Idol.
REALITY TV star Kim Kardashian reportedly wants to buy David
and Victoria Beckham’s English home as a European base for her
family. The Beckhams, who relocated to Los Angeles in 2007 after
David joined LA Galaxy, are apparently selling the 17-acre estate
worth 18 million pounds. And Kim, 31, is said to be planning to
snap up the property for her family, including sisters Khloe and
Kourtney and mother Kris Jenner, reports contactmusic.com. The
property comprises a helipad, petting zoo, swimming pools and a
recording studio.

35-YEAR-OLD Florida man pleaded guilty on
Monday to hacking into the email accounts of
movie
stars
Scarlett
Johansson, Mila Kunis
and Christina Aguilera, and
sending nude photos and other
information to celebrity websites.
Christopher Chaney of
Jacksonville, Florida pleaded
guilty in Los Angeles federal court to unauthorised
computer access, wiretapping and other felony
charges contained in a criminal indictment.
He was ordered to be held in
custody and faces up to 60 years
in prison, plus fines and restitution of about $2.5 million
when sentenced in July.
Chaney, who admitted
hacking the emails of
more than 50 celebrities,
was arrested in October
2011 after an 11month investigation
named “Operation
Hackerazzi” by the
FBI.
Other
victims
included
former
Disney Channel star
Vanessa Hudgens and
Renee Olstead, one of
the stars of ABC
Family’s The Secret Life
of
the
American
Teenager. Other victims were identified
only by their initials,
including J A., B P,
and L B.
Chaney, a clerical
worker, told a
Florida TV station
shortly after his
arrest that he had
become addicted
to prying into
the affairs of
movie stars and
did not know
how to stop.
His snooping
resulted in nude
photos of Iron Man 2
star Johansson and a
bubblebath picture of
Black Swan actress Kunis
reaching gossip websites.
Johansson said later that
the photos of herself topless
and wrapped in a towel with
an exposed backside were
taken for her then husband,
actor Ryan Reynolds.
Chaney admitted that he had
emailed many of the photographs and other personal information that he stole from celebrities to another hacker and to two
entertainment websites.
“Today’s guilty pleas shine a
bright light on the dark underworld
of computer hacking,” said United
States Attorney André Birotte Jr,
whose office prosecuted the case.
“This case demonstrates that everyone, even public figures, should take
precautions to shield their personal
information from the hackers that
inhabit that dark underworld,”
Birotte said in a statement.

HE music doesn’t
stop for pop icon
Madonna,
and
neither does the
controversy, as
the 53-year-old ‘Queen of
Pop’ returns to the spotlight with her latest album
MDNA.
The uptempo record
MDNA sees Madonna continue her love affair with
dance music in an album
dedicated to club-friendly
tracks.
And Madonna has lost none of
her ability to push boundaries, just
as she did 25 years ago with themes of
sexuality and youth rebellion.
The title, MDNA — an allusion to the drug MDMA or ecstasy — has caused
a stir, while the music video for the second single, Girl Gone Wild, has been
slapped with an age restriction after YouTube deemed it too raunchy for
under 18 year-olds.
The video, shot in black and white, sees the singer writhing
and grinding with scantily dressed men, in a style similar to
her Erotica days, when the video for her song Justify My
Love, was banned by MTV in 1990.
But some music critics haven’t exactly been blown
away despite Madonna recruiting a bevy of top
dance music producers, including house music
DJ Benny Benassi, electro-pop duo LMFAO
and her Grammy-winning Ray of Light
album producer William Orbit.
Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles
Times gave the album two out of four
stars, saying it doesn’t “offer much in
the way of innovation,” and that the
iconic singer had “fallen behind...she
is no longer setting the conversation in
a genre she essentially invented.”
The songs are tied together with hard
bass beats and electro-synth tunes in
uptempo dance songs like Gang Bang
and Girl Gone Wild. Falling Free is one of
the few tracks that change pace from the
album’s dance-core theme, described by
Billboard’s Keith Caulfield as a “gorgeous ballad.” The Golden Globe-winning song
Masterpiece, from the soundtrack of
Madonna’s film WE also stood out with its delicate acoustic guitar melody.
Billboard’s Keith Caulfield called the album “a
collection of thoroughly pumping pop tunes, some of
which are slices of sheer brilliance,” praising tracks
such as Gang Bang.
Alexis Petridis of British newspaper The Guardian,
gave the album three out of five stars, calling it “business as
usual” for the pop star.
But Nitsuh Abebe of New York Magazine said “a lot of the music
here feels hollow and strained...There is much expensive workmanship and machine-tooling around here, but not
much...Madonna.”

Sajid and Malaika’s close friendship
Oberoi, Neha in new gangster love story
Director Sajid Khan is all praise for Munni Malaika Arora Khan, who
has sizzled in the item song Anarkali Disco chali from his forthcoming Housefull 2. No wonder she is seen in all his films. “When she
got married, I was her best man. Arbaaz (Khan) is my childhood
buddy. Malaika was part of Heyy Baby, she was part of Housefull.
(My sister) Farah and Malaika also share a superb tuning and
every time they work together, they have always given hit
songs,” added Sajid.
ACTORS Vivek Oberoi and Neha Sharma will be seen together in
a gangster lover story to be produced by filmmaker Kumar
Taurani. “Tips is starting a new film with Vivek Oberoi and Neha
Sharma. It’s a gangster love story,” Taurani posted on his Twitter
page. Taurani has also asked his followers to suggest a title for
the film. Last seen in Rakta Charitra, Vivek is busy shooting for
Zilla Ghaziabad and Krissh 2. This would be Neha’s second film
after Crook in 2010.

FTER Esha Deol’s engagement with businessman
beau Bharat Takhtani,
everyone is eagerly waiting
to hear about her D-day. But her
mother and veteran actress Hema
Malini says they have yet to decide
the wedding date.
According to a recent tabloid
report, Esha and Bharat are planning
to exchange the wedding vows in
July, but Hema says, “Wedding
dates are not yet confirmed. I know
a tabloid has published the wedding dates for May or July. I would
like to stay mum on this matter.
Whenever the dates, are finalised,
we will make an official
announcement.”
Esha got engaged to Bharat on
February 12 at a private ceremony at her Juhu home.
Daughter of Hema and
Dharmendra, Esha began her
tryst with Bollywood in 2002
with Koi Mere Dil Se
Poochhe. She went on to feature in films like Chura Liyaa
Hai Tumne, Na Tum Jaano Na
Hum and Dhoom.
Last year, Hema tried to resurrect her 29-year-old daughter’s
movie career with Tell Me O
Kkhuda, but it failed to strike a
chord with the audiences.

SIN Thottumkal, who is gearing up
for her first multi-starrer
Housefull 2, describes director
Sajid Khan as funny and
says he forgets to say cut.
“Sajid Khan as a director is funny.
He forgets to say cut. We would
be doing a comedy scene and
he would start laughing in
the middle of the scene,
that too in the mic and
we all would get distracted...He is so
involved in the
scenes that he
forgets to say
cut,” Asin said.
The actress, who
has worked in the
southern film industry as
well, says she has learnt to
be more careful about the way
she presents herself and takes
great care while selecting clothes for
public appearances.
“I have realised that the way you carry
yourself specially when the national media is
scrutinising you so much it is very important .
It’s a national platform - everything is talked
about, pointed out, so you need to live up to
that expectation,” said Asin, 26.
She added: “I used to wear whatever my
stylist would ask me to wear. But now I
think whether I am comfortable sporting
it, whether it will suit me? Fashion is very
subjective. I have learnt to be more careful about the way I present myself.”
