Believe it or not: 'MF Husain' tries to impress Anushka

In a bid to impress Anushka Sharma, a fan dressed up as the late MF Husain tried to meet her on the sets of 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl' It often is the case that during outdoor shoots for films, the public gathers around to have a dekko at their favourite stars.  But to Anushka Sharma's shock and surprise, an admirer turned up at the shoot of Ladies vs Ricky Bahl in the guise of the late legendary artiste, MF Husain.  A source associated with the unit tells us that the incident took place in Lucknow, some months after the maverick artiste revealed how impressed he was with Anushka after her second movie.  "Anushka was okay in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but in Band Baaja Baaraat she has proved what an intelligent actor she is. She knows what subtle acting is all about, " stated the legendary artiste in HitList, January 2, 2011.  Husain, who had seen Hum Aapke Hain Kaun! 72 times for Madhuri Dixit and Vivah some 20 times for Amrita Rao, was reportedly keen to see Band Baaja Baaraat several times as long as it ran in the theatres in Dubai.  Our source recalls, "There was considerable buzz before the artiste's death on June 9, about him painting the actress when she went to Dubai. So in keeping with the celebrated artiste's fascination with the model-turned-actress, this fan came to the shoot in Lucknow, around June 17, in the guise of Husainsaab." The admirer on the film's sets Unfortunately for him, his favourite heroine wasn't shooting that day, and instead, the hero Ranveer was filming with co-star Aditi Sharma. "However, he generated a lot of curiosity by showing up with the white hair and the beard like Husainsaab, and got noticed by the team too, " reveals our informer, adding that neither Ranveer nor Aditi met him.  "He hung around the location, with a red rose to present to Anushka. After pack-up was announced, he did look a bit dejected that he couldn't meet his favourite heroine."  Needless to say, Anushka did learn about the incident. "She was surprised that a fan could think of doing such a thing.  She was rather amused by the incident, " says our source, adding, "Anushka was very pleased when Husainsaab praised her performance in Band Baaja Baaraat. On hearing about this incident, she wished she had met the celebrated artiste before his demise."  Courtesy: Mid-Day.com

The Dirty Picture

By: He Who Must Not Be Named Cast: Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajesh sharma Producer: Ekta Kapoor Director: Milan Luthria Rating ***1/2 First: a disclaimer. If cheesy one-liners, ample cleavage displays and orgasms - fake or otherwise - make you uncomfortable then stay away from this film.  'The Dirty Picture' not only thrives on these traits but literally celebrates them like never before in its 144 minutes of unabashed, in-your-face entertainment, entertainment and entertainment. Undoubtedly, it is Vidya's one of the finest outings in which she portrays the role of a troubled item queen Silk, 'inspired' from the real-life story of Silk Smitha.  Here's a sneek peak into her tragic tale: Reshma (Vidya) is a non-conformist who leaves her home to become a star in the big bad world of Tollywood. She has no qualms about her sexuality. She is brazen enought to put her neighbours to sleep with her fake moans. She is well aware that everything comes at a price, especially the much-vaunted fame.  After a series of rejections at the hands of casting directors, she finally lands up a solo-dance number but the 'artistic' director of the film Abraham (Emraan Hashmi) robs her off that big-ticket to silver screen. Heartbroken, she is ready to go back to her sleepy village, when the producer (Rajesh Sharma) restores her risqué jig in the film to pep up the tepid collections and sets box-office on fire.  The world wakes up to Silk and now no film is complete without her 'dirty' antics. Be it Suryakant (Naseeruddin Shah) her childhood crush and now aging superstar or millions of wolf-whistling frontbenchers, no one seems to keep their eyes, minds or hands off Silk.  She relishes in every bit of attention coming her way and treats every strand of criticism with utter disdain. Magazines and gossipmongers damn her as the scum of this planet but Silk won't budge. She belittles them on their own turf with her raw charm.  But as they say, success without honour is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good. And Silk learns this bitter truth the hard way. Though people lap up her every act yet she remains their dirty secret only, stashed somewhere in their closets, baths or dark bedrooms not deemed worthy of their company. She chooses not to pay attention but reality comes to bite her at last when her own mother spurns her and slams the door on her face. And so does rest of the world, one day. Series of failed love/lust affairs with Surya and his younger brother Ramakant (Tusshar) leave her bitter and Silk smashes all the remaining pretence of decency and decorum in public as well. In her last ditch effort to salvage her pride Silk takes on her nemesis, Abraham, in a triple-role extravaganza but eventhat turns out to be a flameout and she sinks further into the abyss of depression. The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success and Silk stands miserable and exposed on both counts. Ironically, Abraham - the man who hated her the most, is now the only solace in her troubled life. But even his affection is too little too late to resuscitate her decrepit soul... With 'The Dirty Picture' director, Milan Luthria tries to explore the dirty underbelly of the Indian cinema and excavates a gem in the form of Vidya Balan. You can't help but appreciate the effort she puts in to make her Silk look authentic.  In the age where majority of leading ladies won't dare to look ugly or overweight, Vidya carries her ample love-handles and haggard looks with aplomb. It's the role which is bound to earn her some of the most prestigious awads in town Here are a few things you'll like about the film, apart from Vidya: A taut first-half replete with Rajat Arora's witty and at-time borderline one-liners. Naseer Saab's slithery lothario Surya and Emran Hashmi's understated yet powerful Abraham. What you may not like is the dragging second-half where the films seems to run out of steam. Unlike the situational 'Ooh La La', both the songs in the second half seem forced. Silk's fall from the grace looks a bit too simplistic as well, though Milan does redeem himself in the climax as she meets her tragic end. All in all, 'The Dirty Picture' may not be your perfect family outing but it sure is the 'Silk' route you must take this weekend.

Something to remember me by: Emily Scott gives I'm A Celebrity viewers and Mark Wright a 360 view of her bikini body in chest challenge

It was her last jungle challenge before leaving I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here last night.

And model Emily Scott certainly gave viewers something to remember her by with a 360 degree views of her stunning bikini body.

The 28-year-old left little to the imagination in her tiny two-piece as she took part in the Celebrity Chest Challenge with love interest Mark Wright.

Perplexed: Mark Wright and Emily Scott look baffled as they arrive at their Celebrity Chest Challenge

Wearing an animal-print bikini, she kept bending over to try and break down the huge ice block, giving The Only Way Is Essex star a good view of her pert behind.

The pair were attempting to remove two swords encased in the ice with only two small hammers and a barrel of smelly water to assist them.

Glamour model Emily found the challenge quite hard but kept going, saying: 'It's got to the point when it feels like home time but we're never gonna give up, we can't go back to camp without it.'

Gratuitous camera angle: There's no doubt why Scott was invited into the jungle...

This prompted Mark to have a dig at the girls back home, when he said: 'Me and Emily are not quitters, that's what I like about her, a lot of girls from Essex would give up, they don't have that tough and ready to go attitude that Emily does.'

Perhaps it was Mark's kind words that kept Emily going, or the compliments that he was giving her earlier on.

As they walked through then jungle together, Mark complained that he was feeling 'hot, hot,' to which Emily replied: 'You are quite hot.'

This then prompted the TV star to say: 'I could walk for miles like this with your bum in front of me.'

'I saw your bum yesterday so only fair,' said Emily, referring to the naked wash that Mark had the day before.

Mark was pleased that he didn't have to wear a dress for the challenge like he had a few days before.

How will we do it? The couple were hot and tired as they figured out the best way to beat the challenge

'I hope I haven't got to wear a dress again, I know how to take them off but don't know how put them on,' he smiled.

But this wasn't the end of their flirting as the pair continued to struggle with the Sword In The Stone challenge.

They began throwing the barrel of water over the ice in the hope that it would melt it, but when that failed, Mark had another idea.

'Shall I have a wee on it?' he asked Emily.

Time to get close: The pair cheered and hugged one another when they finally retrieved the swords

As he began to relieve himself on the ice, Emily asked: 'Is it a big one?, lots of steam coming off?'

'What do you mean is it a big one? Do you mean the wee or something else?' Mark replied.

The blonde laughed and said 'the wee'.

Mark's hard work finally paid off when the swords finally came out.

As the pair cheered and cuddled one another, Mark said: 'I just got that sword, hammered away and eventually pulled out.'

Success: Mark and Emily were glad to be taking the chest back to camp

Was that the best dress to wear for a big birthday meal? Imogen Thomas dines out in a skintight outfit as she turns 29

Many people would opt for a loose outfit if they knew they were going out for a big dinner with friends to celebrate their birthday.

But Imogen Thomas opted to put style above comfort as she turned 29 earlier this week, pouring her curves into a skintight brown dress as she dined with friends at London's Roka restaurant.

And while Imogen was photographed blowing out the candles on her huge chocolate birthday cake, it seems she may not have indulged in any dessert, as she left the eatery looking as slender as when she arrived.

The former Big Brother star beamed as she left the restaurant carrying balloons and presents, closely followed by her new boyfriend Adam Horsley.

Earlier in the day, Imogen tweeted her excitement about her birthday plans, writing: 'Lush surprise...roka! Love this restaurant. Were gonna rockkkkkkk! X'

She then posted a picture of her and banker Adam cuddling up at the dinner table with her friend Emily Jane, along with the caption: '@emilyjane333 @parris_taylor and ads and moi...rocking it xxx'

Imogen and banker Adam, 26, started dating in October following the reality TV star's split from rugby player Danny Cipriani.

And things appear to be going well for the couple, with Imogen even telling friends that Adam could be 'the one'.

A friend of Imogen's told The Sun: 'She has really fallen hard for Adam. He has no ego and treats her like a princess.'

It has been a busy few months for Imogen, who presented segments on ITV programme This Morning over the summer.

And the former Big Brother star also recently revealed she is aiming to make it in the movie industry after landing a role in a big Hollywood film.

While she said she couldn't reveal much about the movie, Imogen did say: 'I want more acting roles to come along. I see that being my future.

'I'd love to do an action flick or be a Bond girl - that would be amazing. That would be my goal. Or to play Lara Croft. Basically, I just can't wait for people to see me in a bit of a different light.'

But the 28-year-old swimsuit model has revealed that it's only the beginning, as she has already made plans to visit the UK soon, with Essex her first port of call.

'I really fancy Mark,' the blonde beauty admitted after leaving the jungle this week. 'We've been having fun and we're a bit flirty and cheeky so who knows where that will go.'

'I'm looking forward to seeing him when he gets out,' she told the Sun. 'I definitely will be coming to Essex. I can't wait to go. I lived in the UK for three years but I've never been to Essex before. I am looking forward to checking it out.

There are a few ladies that Emily may want to avoid during her visit to the area, namely Mark's ex-fiancée Lauren Goodger and his most recent ex, Sam Faiers, who he was still pursuing before he was distracted by Emily's charms in the jungle.

'It will be cool to spend that time together and just see if it's the same feeling on the outside,' Miss Scott said from the Palazzo Versace  Hotel, where she is luxuriating after 12 days living rough.

But while Emily is happily making plans for their post-I'm A Celeb romance, Mark's feelings may be wavering.

On last night's episode the TOWIE star confided to Peter Andre that his heart still lies with Goodger.

'I think my head has moved on as I want to be with someone else but my heart won't move on,' he said.

'Then I'm sorry to say it, you're gonna hate me but you're not ready to,' Peter replied. 'If she means something to you then there has got to be another way.'

Only time will tell if Mark and Emily will rekindle the flame after he returns from the jungle in the next week.
