After his breath taking stunts in ‘Khatron Ki Khiladi’, Akshay Kumar is all set to display his culinary skills in a cookery show called ‘Master Chef India’ on the Star Plus..

The show will go on air later this year on Star Plus, Star India CEO Uday Shankar told while unveiling a red star which is the new look of the channel.

He denied that the show has been planned to counter ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ season three on Colors which will be hosted by actress Priyanka Chopra.

“Our objective is to put together an entertaining show and the effort is to be one stop shop for all creative urges.We don’t believe in countering individuals no matter how big they are,” he said.

The Bachchans normally do not mix business with pleasure. But when Aishwarya Rai landed in Mumbai from Paris, she broke the golden rule when she dropped in unannounced to meet her actor husband Abhishek Bachchan at the Reliance Web World where he was doing out-of-town press interviews.

“Lately, Abhishek and Aishwarya have had very little time to spend together,” said a source close to the actress who made the surprise visit Thursday.

“After their short anniversary holiday, Abhishek got busy with the shooting of Abhinay Deo’s ‘Game’ in Greece, while Aishwarya returned to India for a stint of ‘Robot’. She was then in Paris to honour (retired former World No.1 Brazilian tennis player) Gustavo Kuerten for his work with disadvantaged children.”

“At the charity dinner that followed Aishwarya bonded with Steffi Graf and Mary Pierce and kept missing Abhishek because he’s a big fan of both.”

According to Kangna Ranaut, her new curves are not the result of anything surgical but only the outcome of having put on seven kilos overall.

Reacting to a photo feature Full and Final, Kangna clarified, “Not only my breasts but everything has miraculously expanded as I have gained seven kilos. I plan to lose all of it though people actually like me fuller and everyone has been complimenting me though I think it makes me look older than I am.”

On second thoughts, she added, “It’s crazy, but every single person loves me fat. And honestly, I secretly like it too which is probably why I haven’t started gym and yoga yet. But really, on screen, my hollow cheeks look better and in fact, it is important they be that way.”

Some months ago, Kangna had dismissed her fuller lips as a result of eating prawns. Now her obvious enhancements are part of weight gain. If it is the additional seven kilos that are responsible, obviously most of the seven have gone to one part of her anatomy only.

Shilpa Shetty, who is holidaying with husband Raj Kundra in Macau, was mobbed by some Indian tourists.

“No helicopter service to Hong Kong, bad weather… Thought it would be romantic to take a ferry. Got attacked by a group of 200 Indian tourists, BAD idea, HELP!” Shilpa, who turned 35 Tuesday, wrote on microblogging site Twitter.

The Macau trip was a birthday surprise planned by Raj.

“Birthday rocked! Raj made it very special… actually feel blessed, feels great to be loved!”

“Gawd! Eating at least a kilo of the yummiest cake since yestday, breakfast, lunch n dinner! Taking this (Sinful) holiday too seriously. Strangely no regrets,” she added.

It might sound weird to many but it is true that Salman and Katrina have been offered to play Bachchans on-screen. However, what is stranger is Katrina is going to enact Amitabh Bachchan’s role and Salman will step into Jaya’s shoes. And this weird idea comes from politician Amar Singh’s mind.

Sources disclosed that Katrina although excited was taken aback initially at the thought when Singh discussed and offered the role over the phone. Singh according to Katrina seemed very sure about the selection of actors and the innovative idea which Katrina feels is going to take the whole tinsel town by surprise.

The movie according to Singh will have no dialogues and he has already decided to incorporate recordings of phone taps for the background score.
