The new ‘hot’ couple of the tinsel town, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are selling like ‘hot’ cakes in the brand endorsement market. After signing the famous Head & Shoulders shampoo ad, they have bagged the coveted Airtel advertisement.

Earlier, Vidya Balan and Madhavan sizzled in the Airtel ad with their onscreen chemistry and now our ‘Chote Nawab’ and ‘Bebo’ will be seen sharing sweet-nothings onscreen.

According to a source, “Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are the hottest couple when it comes to brand endorsements. They’ve been paid a whopping amount to come together for these two brands. They will shoot for the Head & Shoulders ad soon.”

In the Head & Shoulders ad, Kareena is seen just for a split-second, but any brand that has them both on board will eventually use them together. That’s the reason why brands are going for couples, for eg, Bips-John, Ajay-Kajol.

Rumour has it that Saif has 12 brands, while Kareena has seven in her kitty. Soon, the lady will be seen endorsing leading jewellery and lifestyle brands. Bebo was reportedly paid Rs 5 crores for the Vivel soap ad that marked the foray of the ITC group into soap brands.

Kareena is now touted as the highest paid endorser and commands a price given only to male models. The power couple is now, clearly at the top in brand endorsement market. Seems that flaunting love, tattoos and fights have done the wonder. Bravo, Saifeena!

Small time Bollywood actor Dino Morea has got himself into trouble with high class actress Kareena Kapoor.

The former boyfriend of Bipasha Basu has told the media that he is about to delve into film production and has singed the Jab We Met award winning actress for the lead role. But a source close to Kareena says, “It’s not true. Kareena hasn’t signed any film with Dino. In fact, she just returned to Mumbai a few days ago after her shoot for Kambakkht Ishq and will be going through scripts now.”

Once Dino became aware that Kareena had denied the singing, he quickly went on the defensive and released a statement saying, “I don’t know how this information got out but we want to start casting by the end of this month. We have not spoken to anyone yet. Yes, we have a wish-list and we hope it works out.”

Now what do you make out of this…

Deepika flaunted her dashing beau, Mallika walked away with the most fantasized woman title, but it’s the divalicious babe Kareena Kapoor, whose oomph factor remains unsurpassed, as the lady has been named the most powerful personality in B-town.

Bebo was named the ‘all powerful’ as she got the maximum number of votes in a poll, on the most powerful Bollywood celebrity, conducted by an international magazine ‘Verve’.

So, what is it that makes Bebo the strongest winner of this powerful title?

Well, there are an umpteen number of reasons to back Bebo’s popularity. For the start it’s her size zero figure coupled with astounding tip toed looks that has worked wonders. Moreover, her film ‘Jab We Met’ created history at both home and foreign box office, winning her numerous accolades.

What came next made her even hotter. Yes, we are talking about the saucy break up with Shahid and public display of affection for ‘Chhote Nawab’ Saif that added to her appeal and gave this Kapoor lass publicity unmatched by any celebrity till date.

Not to be left behind are the mega endorsement deals that came into her kitty. Bebo turned into this ultrachic cover girl who was seen posing and pouting on the front page of the top glam magazines. Done that, the lady went shopping for television advertisements that too came in plenty. However, Kareena’s reputation suffered a blow as her much-anticipated flick ‘Tashan’ crashed at the BO, but in her true diva style she chose to ignore it all and went partying on a world tour with King Khan’s ‘Temptation’.

Flops or hits, Kareena is surely ruling the roost as of now. The lady has eclipsed the current generation of actresses with her overpowering gutsy persona.

Kareena Kapoor may be in demand internationally but, the lady is not going anywhere.

The buzz had it that the lady is heading for Hollywood, but Kareena’s spokesperson cleared the air confirming that Bebo’s stint with Bollywood is on the go, and Hollywood for the time being is a strict no-no!

Kareena Kapoor’s sensational new international look has many takers and she has been approached by many Hollywood filmmakers but she refused them owing to her commitment to several Bollywood projects.

Bebo’s official spokesperson said, “It is true that Kareena was offered a role in ‘Chamera’ which is to be directed by Daniel Silverman but she has not signed on the dotted lines.”

On being asked whether the lady is doing any Hollywood film at all, the spokesperson said, “Kareena is busy for the next one and a half year with her commitments in Bollywood. Until then she isn’t doing any international film. Besides ‘Chamera’, Kareena was also offered two other Hollywood films which I cannot divulge much into.”

Shahid Kapur’s prophecy has come true after all. On Koffee with Karan he had said that Kareena Kapoor, who was his girlfriend then, will never be paired with John Abraham.

Kareena and John were set to work together in script writer-turned-filmmaker Rumi Jaffery’s next, romantic comedy.

We hear that John is out of the film now for reasons best known to the film’s producers, Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision.

A reliable source says, “It was quite unlikely that Kareena and John will share screen space. So, it is not surprising that John is not doing the film anymore.

It may be recalled that Kareena never got along with John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu on the sets of Abbas Mastan’s Ajnabee (2001).

Kareena then made some unsavory comments on Koffee with Karan when she called John ‘an expressionless actor’.

A few seconds later, her former boyfriend Shahid Kapoor added to John’s wounds by saying that Kareena will never be paired with John. Not the one to be left behind, John had got back at Kareena on Koffee with Karan by saying that he would choose Rani Mukerji over Kareena.

“Incidentally, Salman who has seldom got along with John is Rumi’s close friend. All said and done, it was almost an impossible casting,” our source adds.

Rumi and John remained unavailable for comment. Parag Desai, official spokesperson of Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision said, “We don’t want to comment on this.”

Kareena Kapoor is slowly becoming a fashion icon for many. Girls are vying to adapt her style and get a figure just like hers. Of course, the size zero figure and drop dead gorgeous looks come at a price. However, for Bebo, making a fashion statement comes easy. In Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, designers designed clothes based on her attitude and style. Even her different, bubbly style in Jab We Met took the industry by storm. Going by her latest set of films, Bebo has lost and gained weight depending on her roles. While her last film, Tashan, turned turtle, her bikini scene was appreciated. According to her, all she does is follow a strict diet and do power yoga for two hours.
Now, for her forthcoming Main Aur Mrs. Khanna, she has gained weight again. Ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra has designed her costumes. He thinks she is one of Bollywood’s sexiest stars. Now, considering she plays a housewife, we wonder how sexy she can possibly look.

The undisputed queen of Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor after hitting the jackpot with her blockbuster movie Jab We Met is going places these days and this time her stars are taking her to Hollywood.

The stylish babe recently impressed the Rambo of Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone while she was filming Sajid Nadiadwala’s, Kambakth Ishq.

After her short meeting with Stallone, Kareena was suddenly the buzz of Hollywood as agents dropped in on the set to enquire about the ‘Jab We Met’ star.

When Kareena was quizzed about Hollywood she said, “It’s the right time for Bollywood with so many avenues and doors opening up on a global scale. The possibilities are immense. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed.”

Well guys who do you wanna see Kareena romance in Hollywood? I guess she will look good with Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt.

Saif Ali has been left red in the face over a kissing scene involving his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and Hollywood hunk Sylvester Stallone.

Kareena and Stallone were shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakht Ishq in Los Angeles.

As part of the script, Bebo was required to kiss Stallone on the cheek, much to the discomfort of boyfriend Saif who was present at the shooting.

But when it took Kareena three takes to get the shot right, Saif really lost his cool and raised objections.

Kareena, however, did not like the intervention and asked Saif to stay away.

“If you can’t see me doing a kissing scene, then stop coming to the sets of my shootings,” Kareena was reportedly heard shouting.

Stallone plays himself in the movie, which has Akshay Kumar in the lead role.

Actor Imran Khan, who won rave reviews for his debut in ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, has made no attempt to hide his intentions. This perfectionist has said that he would like to work with none other than Kareena Kapoor.

A very confident Imran voiced his choice of actress he would love to work with and said, “I would like to work with Kareena Kapoor. She is a very good actress.”

The new kid on the block puts his ‘good’ choice out. But, one wonders if it is the ‘K’ factor. Imran Khan said, “I would love to work with Kangana Ranaut, Konkana Sen Sharma, Kareena Kapoor.” In a state of amusement he added, “Why are all ‘K’?”

However, along with the pretty ladies comes another ‘p’ — perfection. Imran Khan strongly said that he is never satisfied with his work and always sees room for improvement. He said, “I have seen my film around fifty times, but each time I watch it, I cringe. The moment one starts praising his own work then he or she is in deep trouble.”

Imran also seems to be following his family trend of being serious on the sets. He said, “If there are many pranks being played at the sets of any movie, then one is really not making a film.”

It looks like it is all work and no play for this Khan.

Our space had already informed you that Sylvester Stallone is set to appear in Bollywood. Going further with the news, the film titled ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ is directed by Sabir Khan and will hit the theatres in December. The story is about the tale of a stuntman struggling to make it big in Hollywood. Kareena plays Akshay’s love interest.

Stallone is also trying his best to convince his long time buddy Arnold Schwarzenegger to appear alongside him in the movie. Whether Arnold too will appear in the film or not, only time can tell. Meanwhile you treat your eyes with the rare combination of Bollywood’s leading lady Kareena Kapoor with Hollywood hottie Sylvester Stallone!
