A French manicured Juhu birdie tells us that Sonam Kapoor likes to call Aishwarya Rai 'Aunty'! We are sure that is not what she calls the new Mrs Bachchan to her face, though.

AUNTY mat kaho na....

The birdie tweets, "Sonam says 'Ash has worked with my dad so I have to call her aunty na?' " But dahlings even Rani Mukerji and Kajol have worked with Anil Kapoor, but you call them by their names, no? Itna bhi ka gussa, Sonam Aunty?

Not without my permission

They don't call her a diva for no reason. Sources reveal that Kylie Minogue has asked the producers of Blue to show her the final cut of her song with Akshay and also the first promo of the film.

A source reveals, "Kylie insisted that they show her the final print. Even though she has left the country, Kylie is keen to know the progress on the film.

Since it's her Bollywood debut, she wants to make a big noise about it in the local Australian press."

Bowing down to the diva's demands, the producers recently sent her a DVD with the song and other scenes being used in the film.

Proud belle

Slumdog Millionaire DVD was released in the UK this week. In an interview that Freida Pinto gave to a local London paper promoting the DVD, the Mumbaikar spoke about her alleged boyfriend Dev Patel.

"I am extremely fond of him and when boys and girls cheer for him on the red carpet I feel very proud of him." We know how that feels, especially when no-one does that for you, love!

What's up, Lara?

While we totally get being friends with an ex, and hanging out with her, Dino Morea and Nandita Mahtani ARE overdoing the whole we-are-still-friends bit.

Recently, the duo were spotted having lunch and dinner in London.

An actress close to Lara says, "Either Lara is too tolerant or she is just-not-that-into Dino, because no girlfriend would put up with this excessive bonding with an ex." So Lara, which is it?

Subhash Ghai has sent the DVD of Yuvraaj to many people in the industry and Farah Khan is also on that list.

A bitchy bird says, "After she made Om Shanti Om inspired by his Karz, now he probably wants her to remake this Salman-Katrina horror as well." All we can say to that is a loud: Nahinnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
