Kuch smooch hota hai!

Reveals the source, "Yesterday, a scene between Deepika Padukone and Farhan was being shot.

Director Vijay Lalwani requested the crew out of the set. Apparently the duo were supposed to shoot a kissing scene and Deepika wasn't comfortable.

So very limited people were on the sets while the scene was canned." Seems to us, Farhan should've been the one more uncomfortable with the whole 'kiss'a, whatcha think?

Where's the party tonight?

Vijay Mallya hosted The Incredible India Party at Le Grand Jardin his private residence on St Marguerite island in Cannes.

The party was attended by filmfolk like Subhash Ghai, Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori, Ashok Amritraj, Manisha Koirala, Prasoon Joshi and Deepti Naval among others.

The guests knew where a 'good time' was to be had. Of course, kinda obvious.

While Sharmila Tagore, Deepti Naval, Manisha Koirala and designer Ritu Kumar were spotted at the Hinduja dinner, hosted annually by the brothers at the Cannes film festival every year.

So here we were taking in the fact that Kailash Kher was holding aloft (after the unveiling, of course) the trophy of the ICC 20-20 World Cup at a suburban Mumbai mall.

Seriously, wasn't any cricketer (IPL, non-IPL, fake, not fake) available in town? Or even a filmi type for that matter.

Having a singer do the honours doesn't quite lend a zinger to the event, no. And no, we have nothing against you, Mr Kher. It's just kinda curious, that's all!

'Car'naama!

Our Bong birdie tweets in with news about Mithunda being maha-thrilled about acting in Vivek Sharma's Bhuddham Sharnam Gachami along with Amitabh Bachchan.

The actor even sends his own Merc to fetch Vivek for script narrations. Birdie notes how apna actors make their directors wait endlessly but not Dada, who even sends the chauffeur with the Merc.

The film goes on floors next month. Actor ho to aisa, no?

Tara's a student

It's back to college for Tara Sharma. The very preggie actress (in real life!) will feature in a film called Student, which will be based on a college campus.

The film also stars Gracy Singh and Karan Kapoor. The well-meaning folk involved with this film intend to shine a light on the various ills that plague our educational system. What! No preaching?
