Kareena Kapoor is on a roll. After Sony Vaio, she has signed up for yet another endorsement. This time she is the brand ambassador of a top mobile phone company.

Since Kareena has been offered the maximum price for commercials, she is not missing out on any offer coming her way.We heard she has set up a staff team which scrutinises commercial offers before they reach her.

A source said the team decides the brand benefit Kareena will draw and also ensures that the commercial helps in building up her image in the industry. Some strategy!

Producer Boney Kapoor must be ruing the day when he cast Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor in his film Milenge Milenge. The two are not only refusing to shoot a music video together but also going to promote the film separately. Milenge Milenge will be the duo’s first release together after their break-up more than two years ago. The song Sab Kuch Khatam Ho Kar Bhi… is almost a reflection of their real-life break up.Says a source, “Now that Shahid and Kareena have completed their dubbing, there’s another problem. Initially, both stars had refused to shoot for the promo but after Boney and music director Himesh Reshammiya recorded a new song in keeping with the times, Shahid and Kareena were very excited.

The only glitch is that though both have agreed to shoot for it their condition is that they wouldn’t shoot for it together. In fact, though both Shahid and Kareena have seen the rushes, they have told Boney that they won’t also publicise the film together. Now Boney is in a dilemma.”Boney Kapoor says, “Yes we are shooting the song Sab Kuch Khatam with Shahid and Kareena separately. First we will shoot with Shahid and then with Kareena. But Shahid and Kareena haven’t told me anything or stipulated any conditions. The first lines of the song are such that we can’t have the two of them singing together as it shows that they have split up and gone their separate ways on screen (like they have done in reality).”

Apparently, Shahid and Bebo have also told Boney that they will publicise Milenge Milenge separately. “I haven’t heard anything like that,” says Boney and adds, “In fact, when Kareena finished her dubbing she said she would be part of the publicity.Shahid has also assured me of his cooperation. We will shoot the music video in March and then work out the strategy as the film releases on July 2.”Kareena Kapoor says, “I haven’t been approached by Boneyji to do the song. If I am asked to do so, I will shoot the song with Shahid. I am cool with working with him. I am a professional and will do whatever my director decides and feels is best for the film.” Will she promote the film also with Shahid?

Kareena retorts, “I will do whatever I can for the film and whatever Boneyji decides. It’s completely his call.”

Kareena Kapoor is over the moon as her sister Karisma Kapoor gave birth to a baby boy. Bebo is thrilled to become maasi again and happy to experience the same feeling when her niece Samaira was born. On becoming aunty again, an ecstatic Kareena said, “I am thrilled to become a maasi again! I have just come back from the hospital. Lolo and the baby are healthy and fine. We are having a huge family get-together. Mom, dad, Samaira, Sanjay (Lolo`s husband), Saif and I are having a lovely family time together.””We haven`t named the baby as yet but will do so in a couple of days. I have also thought of a name for him.

We are all over the moon with the baby and so is Samaira. Last night we had an intimate family dinner to celebrate the baby`s arrival,” added Kareena.Overjoyed Kareena postponed all her shoots to be on the side of her sister and nephew, “Yes I have! Nothing – not even work can come between my babies and me! I love babies and I just can`t wait to hold Lolo`s baby in my arms and play with him. When Lolo is busy with the baby, Mom (Babita) and I will take turns to baby sit Samaira.”So what the actress will be doing during the break? “I am looking forward to this break with great pleasure!

I have already shopped for the baby`s clothes and toys and looking forward to giving them to him. This break is also a great way of my entire family coming together and bonding in a big way,”, Kareena quips.

It has been a wonder for the people from the industry as well as fans that even though a majority of Bollywood is on Twitter, Kareena Kapoor continues to evade the microblogging site. At Shahrukh Khan’s press conference for Ra.1, she was asked why she wasn’t tweeting yet.

Kareena expressed that she was still not sure about the whole idea and would need at least another month to settle on an answer. Kareena needs to think about it so carefully because at present she’s too tied up with work to sign up on the site and start using it. Also, she wonders if she will be able to stick by it regularly once she starts it.

Well, let’s give Kareena the time she needs. Maybe we’ll see her on Twitter soon!

Saif Ali Khan is influencing his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor with his choice of films. Apparently he has been recommending a few classics to her. And the doting girlfriend that she is, she’s been watching these regularly to refine her taste in films.

Saif has not only asked her to watch Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Gone With The Wind, but also got her a number of Marilyn Monroe films like Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. He also suggested she watch How to Murder your Wife.

Since then, Kareena has been watching all these movies at home while Saif has been attending to her needs of popcorn and soda. That’s a good new activity couples could try out, right?

A luminous star illumines a village with electricity. Rs 3 lakh from her celeb coffers have made their way to Chanderi village. And Kareena Kapoor is beaming away with her philanthropic gesture.  A solar energy plant will bring light and joy to the electricity deprived village of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh.

Earlier, Bebo had dazzled the paparazzi with a black and gold Chanderi sari gifted to her by the Chanderi weavers when she showed up with Aamir Khan for a promotional exercise of ‘3 Idiots.’
Earlier, Kareena was deeply saddened when she zoomed in for dinner with the star struck Chanderi weavers. They lived without electricity and wove using candle light!

A touched Bebo promptly issued a Rs. three lakh cheque to the village authorities for a solar energy plant. What’s better, KK will now mobilise star support to generate resources for generating electricity for over 100 deprived villages in India!

The much-delayed `Milenge Milenge` will finally see the light of the day with actress Kareena Kapoor presently completing the dubbing as well as the promotional video of the film.”Though the movie has been in its making stages for quite a while now Kareena Kapoor has been very patient and in spite of having a plethora of brands and other film shoots she is making sure she gives `Milenge Milenge` its due attention,” sources close to the actress said.

Both Boney Kapoor and director Satish Kaushik are raving about the actress` accomodating attitude, they said.The movie will bring together Kareena and ex-beau Shahid Kapoor, last seen together in Imtiaz Ali`s 2007 hit `Jab We Met`. The couple have split since then.

After all the hard work, Kareena Kapoor believes in indulging herself. One hears that she has newly ordered an S-Class Mercedes Benz worth Rs 75 lakh for herself. The luxury car will be delivered to her doorstep next week. And while Kareena believes in gifting herself, she also loves pampering her family members. News has it that she will also be gifting a Mercedes to her elder sister, Karisma Kapur, who is due to deliver her second child any day now.

The car will be Kareena’s gift to her didi for the soon-to-be-born baby. Kareena admitted that she has been looking at the different new swanky models of luxury cars in the market but she wasn’t too keen to divulge any details on her new purchase. All Kareena said was, “I’ve wanted a new car for a while.” It was also being suggested that Kareena would get herself the BMW-7 series. In fact, some reports even said that Saif Ali Khan was presenting her a new car, which of course is not the case.

At least not presently. There are also reports that Saif was toying with the idea of buying a Mercedes Benz sports convertible worth Rs 2 crore for himself. However, his plans are said to be on hold for the moment.

The Kapoor family is putting final touches to an ambitious plan — they intend to revive the RK Films’ banner 11 years after they temporarily folded up operations. The banner was set by the late Raj Kapoor in 1951. The film-maker’s eldest son Randhir Kapoor says, “We are working on it (revival of the banner). We have met a few people and we will make an announcement very soon.” The last film produced by the banner was Aa Ab Laut Chalein in 1999. That film bombed at the box office and post that the banner was temporarily shut down.

A source says, “Randhir had earlier spoken to his daughter Kareena (Kapoor) about doing a film. But she hasn’t been able to allot dates. That was the reason the re-launch got postponed. Otherwise it would have happened a few months ago.” Now, apparently Raj Kapoor’s grandson Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor’s son) is keen revive the banner. The source says, “Ranbir wants to revive the banner. He has been trying to convince Randhir and Rishi to do the same. There is a script that the banner might be revived with and it may star Ranbir.”

The source adds, “The project with Kareena has been dropped as of now. So in all probability, this will be the first project where Rishi will direct his son Ranbir.”

Again the spotlight has been on Saifeena, the rumours of a secret  Marriage  between Saif and Kareena at Pataudi sent the grapevine into overdrive.In a tabloid chat Kareena stated, “Catch me doing anything secretly.

When I’ve been open about my association, why will I go in for a hush hush wedding? I’m the last unmarried Kapoor girl and I want to have a grand wedding!Marriage will happen, though I don’t know when. We are very happy right now.”

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor both are angry at flase wedding reports that are circulation all over media these days.Saif is upset with a section of media for marrying him off to Kareena once again. So, when climax of the story comes ..? have to wait and see.
