Gaurav Kapoor is back from mingling with the rich and restless team owners and supports in South Africa and plans to watch the finale from the studio in Mumbai with friends, "We have a big screen and a few cold brews, but only for them. I can't be drunk on air!"

And this is kind of cool, tonight Karsh Kale and the Midival Pundits are jamming together at Blue Frog for a live visual scoring synced to the Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon.

Ken Ghosh is shooting all weekend from 7 pm to 5 am "so my weekend party is gonna be at Ballard Estate on the road with Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D'Souza."

Meanwhile, model Mridula Chandrashekhar who's been out of the party scene for a while now plans to spend the weekend in Alibaug. "No parties for me," she says.

Payal Gidwani (yoga advisor to Bollywood's

elite like Rani Mukherjee, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan) is tying the knot on May 25. I bet she's hoping the glitterati turns up for her happily-ever-after send off!

Meanwhile, a few of the privileged glitterati are living it up red-carpet style at Cannes. For instance actress Nisha Harale Bedi is there to promote her upcoming film Shyam's Secret co-starring boy wonder Ayush Khedekar who played little Jamal in Slumdog Millionaire (How cute is his suit?!)

Candice Pinto is in Goa and having a great time, "My plan is to rock it up at the closing weekend at Goa as the season ends!"
