She has jaw-dropping looks, but actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley claims that she was told to lose weight if she wanted to succeed as a model.

The Transformer actress, who replaced Megan Fox from the franchise as the leading lady has never worried about her weight and when she was told to lose to succeed as a model, she really got shocked, reported femalefirst.co.uk.

“I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice,” she said.


“I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t,” she added.

There were some budget issues earlier for Salma Hayek’s ‘The Driver’ which also features Gulshan Grover ‘Ganna Chabaa ke’ who is playing the role of Hayek’s husband in the film.

‘The Driver’ had a 22 million of production budget and later mounted to 40 million dollars which shelved the shooting until a fresh flow of money was put into the project.

The film has some shooting in India and Salma Hayek is planning to visit the country in December to complete the shooting of the film. This has made our desi-villain excited, “The film has new budget and it is a great news for all of us who were working hard for this project. The movie goes on floors by this year-end and will be shot in LA. Post the shoot, Salma is expected to tour India. She had always wanted to see the country and explore our cities, nature and cuisine. We are all excited about the development,” Gulshan told a leading daily.

The film not only features the Mexican beauty and Gulshan Grover but also have some big names, who will be playing cameo in the film. Will Smith, Kobe Bryant and Whoopi Goldberg are the names which will be seen in the film. “The film is only getting bigger every day. These three are also now on board but things were kept hush-hush because we were not sure when the filming would start. The three are in for cameos. Hope their dates can be worked out,” added the actor.

If you are told that Rakhi Sawant has refused ace Hollywood actor Russell Crowe starrer film for not being comfortable doing love-making scenes, can you believe this?

But, Rakhi has said that she received two offers, including Crowe’s film as they both required Rakhi to do steamy scenes, smooch and wearing a two-piece. The otherwise too open and obscene actress has added that her English too is bad to sign a Hollywood project.

However, the lady who has always been in controversies for ‘sexual’ and ‘absurd’ reasons is playing a sex teacher in Qasam Se Qasam Se don’t find the role uncomfortable, as she says it has a message on the importance of safe sex for the society.

Now, we ask Rakhi what message she passed when she blown the Mika smooch out of proportion?

Oscar Curse is Real! Is Portman Next? https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/02/26/oscar-curse-is-real-is-portman-next/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/02/26/oscar-curse-is-real-is-portman-next/#respond Sat, 26 Feb 2011 07:39:02 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=3459

A study conducted by the University of Toronto has found that actresses who win an Academy Award break up with their husbands, boyfriends or lovers just months after winning. And if the new research is to be believed, then actress Natalie Portman, who is the hot favorite for the top award for her performance in Black Swan, could end up being the next to feel the curse.

The study showed that Best Actress winners have 63% chance of ending up divorced and that winners were proven to be 1.68 times more likely to head to the divorce court than those who were nominated but didn’t take home gold. Betting agencies are already giving punters the chance to bet on the likelihood of the newly engaged and pregnant Portman, 29, succumbing to “the curse”.

A few other actresses already affected:

2010

Sandra Bullock: Her five year marriage to Jesse James ended after her Oscar win for ‘The Blind Side’ when she discovered he had been having an affair with a tattoo model.

2009

Kate Winslet: A year after winning the Best Actress award playing a concentration camp guard in ‘The Reader’, Winslet’s marriage to director Sam Mendes ended.

2006

Reese Witherspoon: Witherspoon accepted the Best Actress award for her role in ‘Walk the Line’. By the end of the year, she had left her husband and father of her two children, Ryan Philipe.

2001

Julia Roberts: Roberts took home the Oscar for ‘Erin Brockovich’ and thanked her boyfriend of four years Benjamin Bratt in her speech. Three months later they parted ways.

Does this mean better stay away from the Oscars??

Mila Kunis: The Seducing Ballerina of ‘Black Swan’ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/02/07/mila-kunis-the-seducing-ballerina-of-black-swan/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/02/07/mila-kunis-the-seducing-ballerina-of-black-swan/#respond Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:06:06 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=3170

Mila Kunis, if you have seen ‘Black Swan’ you can easily remember the seducing ballerina who has given even the lead actress Natalie Portman a bump into her belly-in-dance. Though, Portman’s bump came from her relationship with boyfriend, now fiancé Benjamin Millepied.

In an interview to LA Times magazine, Mila revealed that she was never interested on taking a project to pay her bills.

‘I know people say this all the time, but it’s true: I don’t ever want to work for the sake of working,’ she told the magazine.

Kunis has played the same role for eight magnificent years for a 70’s show, however she was looking for some variation in her professional career and it surprisingly happened with Oscar nominated ‘Black Swan’ where she didn’t even go for a formal audition. Luckily for her the role was offered to Mila after few video meetings with the director Darren Aronofsky.

‘I was very lucky to have a show for eight years. Now I can sit back and think about what I want.’

The 27-year-old actress has posed for the LA Times Magazine in a white Rick Owens dress which shows her dancer-like figure.

It’s a saying in Hindi, “Bhagwaan Jab deta hai to chappar phad ke deta hai” (when he gives, he gives in abundance) which aptly describes Frieda Pinto’s case.

Yesterday, she was a small time model in Mumbai, unknown and unrecognized. Luckily, Danny Boyles ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ happened which not only gave her recognition and fame across the globe but also looks establishing her into an actress! So much so less that three-time Oscar winner Woody Allen wish to cast her in his next flick.

In an interview to U.S morning news programme Today, the 24 year sensation credited Boyle for landing the role in Allen’s new venture- but forget Rahul Antao for anything.

The lady expressed her eagerness, Yes, it’s up (begins) in July (09). So thank you, Danny Boyle, for helping me take off,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

Now, we expect some disclosure from the lady- hopefully Dev Patel relation could soon hit the headlines! We look forward to it or another success and…
