We hear that Sneha has done a cameo as herself in director Vasanth Balan's(remember the critically acclaimed VEYYIL?) ANGADI THERU(AT). As the title suggests, the film revolves around happenings in a busy shopping area. A scene in the film involved workers at a popular textile shop in the area getting a chance to meet their favourite heroine.
The filmmaker approached Sneha to do this cameo and the lass readily agreed to do it. AT has many new faces like Mahesh(a volley ball player), who makes his debut as hero opposite KATRADHU THAMIZH lass Anjali. Director A Venkatesh also stars as an actor in a vital role in the film, which has tunes composed by music directors GV Prakash and Vijay Antony.

House hunting
It's not quite like the last Bollywod horror film 13-B, but yes, this tale does involve a house and, trying to live in that house, is
Bollywood hottie Bipasha Basu! Bips, who has a penthouse in a Santacruz high-rise, was forced to move out when this place took a beating in the savage rains of 26/7 in 2005. "I had to get my home renovated after that horrible incident," says the Bengali beauty, who moved in to a rented apartment a few lanes away while the interior work began in her devastated penthouse. And, here comes the twist in the tale.
"I started getting a lot of negative vibes," admits Bipasha, "I just didn't feel good living there." What's worse, since it was a rented place, she had to send her pet dog Poshto, a Chilhuahua the actress obsolutely dotes on, to live with her parents at their suburban home.
But the bad vibes in rented apartment really took their toll on her in the last couple of months. And finally, Bips locked up the place and began virtually living out of a suit case. "I'm even endorsing a luggage brand only for this," she jokes.
She's started looking forward to outdoor shoots now,"because because that way I don't have to go around Mumbai looking for a roof over my head."
Lest you get the idea that the Bengali bomb shell is on the lookout for accommodation, chill... While her own apartment is still two months away from completion, a PUJA and a "nice, big housewarming party there", she alternatively takes up residence with either her parents or beau John Abraham. He, too has a penthouse at Land's End in Bandra. And it's big enough for two!

The funny side of Hugh jackman
Hugh jackman may be broody and intense while playing Wolverine on screen, however off screen, he is quite the opposite. An obsolute prankster, the actor didn't even spare his leading laddy Lynn Collins in X-Men Origins: WOLVERINE, from getting a dose of his funnier side. Reveals Lynn, "We were on this location and hugh came up to me and said, 'You know, we've seen some of the dailies and we just think that your outfit needs to be skimpier'." Collins adds, "He was very convincing as he continued saying, 'so, we found something for you. We put it in your trailer. Can you please try it on?' There was a gaggle of men and so, I went in to my trailer and there is a silver spandex dress, and I had this panic attack. I was like, 'Oh, my god, they're all standing in front of the trailer, so I have to put it on.' I put it on and it didn't fit. It was so tight, it was horrible and highly embrassing. I opened the door and everybody was cracking up, and hugh was like, 'April fool's'." Jackman later owned up to his dirty deeds. "I love that you put it on and didn't slap me in the face. If we put that on the DVD extras, sales would go through the roof," he exclaimed.

' Warne's fantastic, but I adore Yusuf!'
"Shane Warne's a fantastic cricketer and an even better captain, but I adore Yusuf Pathan and I'm fond of MS Dhoni," says Shamita Shetty, thereby dashing all hopes the legendary Australian spin wizard and ladies' man might have had of winnig the sultry Bollywood actress in South Africa.
Shamita, as you might have seen on television, has occompained elder sister Shilpa and her beau Raj Kundra- owners of team Rajasthan, to South Africa for the IPL from where reports, that Warne was showing more then a healthy interest in yhe boss's kid sis, came faster than the sixes of Warane's teammates.
Some stories had the two cosying up at a party that Shilpa had thrown after a victorious match. Warne, who is notorious for his roving eye, was naturaly unavailable for comment. But Shamita is not amused by the rumours. "I don't know where the press is getting this from, but it really needs to get the facts right. Honestly, it's the funniest bit of news I've heard in a long time," says Shamita, who doesn't interact with the team and has barely met Warne thrice.
The story goes that Warne, whose wife Simone Callahan reportedly left him as a result of his womanising, had first hit on Shilpa herself. But since the elder sister was already betrothed of her team turned his attention to younger sister Shamita.
Funnily, Raj had jokingly remarked a few months before, "I'd better propose to Shilpa before the T20 matches or else Shane Warne might try his luck!"
His failure with the Shetty girls has not done anything to spoil Shane Warne's reputation as a world class cricketer in Shamita's eyes. The twinkle-eyed Aussie still remains her "fave" player. But she adores Yusuf more.
"Have you seen him get ready for a six? He's got an amazing style," She says. And then there's also Dhoni, who is from the chennai team, but still another favourite of the sultry actress. "I'm having fun," she says and adds, "From a non-cricketing fan, I've turned in to a cricket enthusiast overnight."

Food for thought
The Khan family is known for their hospitality and Slman Khan demonstrated this at the shoot of Vipul Shah's film LONDON DREAMS in london. When he realised that the entire unit was bored of western food and was missing homemade food, he called his cook, Jafferbhai is especially known for his delectable biryani.
Vipul Shah confirmed and said, "We all were shooting in St James Court and were really bored of the continental food. We used to order food from Indian pockets in south Hall, but there was nothing like homemade food. We had to stay there for three months and everyone was craving for homemade food. That's when Salman called his cook, Jafferbhai, treating us all to GHAR KA KHANA for a large part of the schedule. We handed him the kitchen department during the schedule." Now, isn't that some thought for food, rather?

Suriya, B' wood bound!
The AYAN star is surely going places! First, it was his neat performance as Sanjay Ramaswamy in GHAJINI that attracted Aamir Khan to remake the film in hindi. And now, Suriya is all set to set foot in bollywood with his first Hindi film!
The actor is excited about RATHA CHARITHRA, a film he's going to do with Ram Gopal Varma. "It'll be in two parts and I will be introduced in yhe climax scenes of the first part," says Suriya, talking to CHENNAI TIMES from Kolkata where he's shooting for KS Ravikumar's AADHAVAN. The film, which will star Vivek Oberoi, will revolve around the life of Paritala Ravi- a prime suspect in many murder cases.
Talks about the film have been going on for many years now and this time, it's surely happening! "We started discussion after I did GHAJINI in Tamil but things didn't materialise. I'm super happy that it's kicked off this time around," he states. The first part will be released in January, while the second will hit the screens later next year.
Elaborating, Suriya says that the one hour narration of the script stunned him. "I just had to say yes," he states. The actor's eyes drew RGV in to making the choice. "He says he cast me because of my eyes and body language," says Suriya, who will be playing a character called Suriya in the film.
RGV had reportedly said earlier that it's not possible to do justice to the character in a film which is less than five hours. "The film's shooting would be held at stretch but the release would be spaced out over three months," Varma is reported to have said.
So,what did RGV tell the actor? "He told me, 'You'll see a new Suriya in this film'. I'm looking forward to that," he signs off.
