Christmas is round the corner and New Year is not far. It’s the time of the year that Katrina Kaif looks forward to with bated breath. For it’s during Xmas and New Year’s Eve that she bonds with her siblings in London.

It’s reunion time for the Kaifs, and Katrina, despite still being in pain from her recent surgery, has left for London, we hear.

Kat is particularly excited about playing with her sister’s little kid.

“I just want to be with my sister’s little boy, take him to the toy stores in London and buy him everything he wants,” she is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

Katrina isn’t also very worried about her health for there is a doctor friend in London who will look after her. Moreover, the stunner believes that being close to the people she loves will help her heal faster.

However, Katrina won’t be able to be with Salman Khan on his coming birthday on December 27. That should hardly make a difference because Salman is known to celebrate his B-day and New Year with his brothers and family.

Ranbir Kapoor has everything going for him but the brand endorsements -- so far.

He is the hottest -- and most bankable -- star in tinseltown these days. He has big banners chasing him and directors wanting to work with him, and he probably commands a hefty amount of money for the movies he does act in. But when it comes to brand endorsements, Ranbir Kapoor still has a long way to go.

So far, Kapoor has three brands in his kitty: Panasonic, Provogue and Pepsi. For someone who has delivered two successful movies in the year 2009 -- Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Wake Up Sid -- this is a little unusual.

Of course, Pepsi signed him way back in 2008 for its Youngistan campaign, and Panasonic got him on board earlier this year.

"He is still relatively new and you have to understand that unlike in the case of cricketers, marketers prefer to go with established film stars," says Santosh Desai, CEO of Future Brands.

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor is known not only for his looks and acting talent but also for his shapely buttock. So, upcoming actress Genelia D'Souza must be pinching herself in disbelieve because she got the chance to touch his bum.

The news is doing the rounds that there is a scene in Chance Pe Dance where Genelia spanks Shahid not once but a couple of times. She did it in retaliation to his mischievous tease.


Chance Pe Dance, produced by Ronnie Screwala and directed by Ken Ghosh, is scheduled for release on January 15, 2010.

Press Trust of India, Sunday December 13, 2009, Johannesburg

Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra added some glamour to the panel of judges at the Miss World Pageant, hosted by the City of Johannesburg as a tourism marketing tool for the second year in a row.

"I'm a lot more nervous than the girls," Chopra said when asked how she felt about helping decide how the life of one young woman would change forever.

"(Watching them) I remembered every moment when I was up there myself (in 2000)," the former Miss World said.

The last time India won the title was in 2000 when Priyanka Chopra brought home the crown.

India has produced five Miss Worlds with Reita Faria winning the title in 1966, followed by Aishwarya Rai in 1994, Diana Hayden in 1997 and Yukta Mookhey 1999, apart from Chopra.

Venezuela and India have produced the maximum number of Miss Worlds - five each.
