Chitrangada from Salsa Sequence

From hollywood.com,  As part of a song in next week’s release, Desi Boyz, actor Chitrangda Singh has put on her dancing shoes for a glamorous salsa sequence.

Ask the actor about it and she says, “I really enjoyed it because I’ve always loved dancing. In the salsa musical portion, my outing will be almost like a professional salsa dancer.” She adds, “In fact, I had to train in salsa for a week to perform, otherwise it would have looked fake and clumsy.

Interestingly, designer-stylist Rick Roy had created Chitrangda’s dress for the sequence, overnight. “Yes, it was readied beforehand but it wasn’t looking very good, so I called up Rick and asked him to create a glam dress for me overnight,” she informs.

Although Rick was busy with something else, Chitrangda gave him a couple of references. “And ultimately, he came up with a beautiful dress in dull gold hue. It only adds to the entire salsa experience,” says the actor. “It was quite a heavy dress with lot of metal tassels attached to it, but I felt really good in it,” says Chitrangda with a smile.

The Yeh Saali Zindagi actor is happy that her look in Desi Boyz is completely different from her past films. “I don’t believe in any image because it gets staid to work in similar movies. And as an actor, I would like to experiment with all kind of roles,” says Chitrangda, who is also going to be seen in an item number in filmmaker Shirish Kunder’s Joker.



Jennifer Lopez’s performance American Music Awards 2011

The American Music Awards lack the gravitas of the Grammys and the edgy absurdity of the MTV Video Music Awards. They’re your middle of the road, not terribly important, let’s-chuck-this-on-TV-right-before-Thanksgiving awards show.

But this year’s ceremony, broadcast from L.A. on Sunday night, managed to deliver a handful of bizarre sights, enough to keep us almost mildly interested while we flipped back and forth between the AMAs and the ”Walking Dead.” Almost.

Here are the five weirdest moments from the decidedly bloated three-hour event.

The show’s opening performance teamed Minaj with David Guetta and a set design dominated by speaker imagery. In keeping with that motif, Minaj wore a speaker-themed outfit, complete with faux amplification on her chest and each of her butt cheeks. Call me crazy, but I really can’t see this look going mainstream, even if every office in America institutes Casual, Butt Speaker-Wearing Fridays.

Jennifer Lopez’s performance/Fiat commercial , J. Lo’s rendition of “Papi” essentially recreated her Fiat commercial, even going so far as to bring an actual Fiat onstage to serve as a backdrop while Lopez stripped down to a nude body suit with sparkles that covered all the necessary areas. Personally, I found the gratuitous promotion of Fiat far more offensive than the pseudo-nudity. And I was not alone.


Metallica at Bangalore's Palace Grounds

From bollywood.com,  Metallica's Delhi performance was cancelled at the last moment due to 'technical reasons.' But it was widely believed that the show was canned because the stage setup didn't meet the band's requirements after they inspected it before the performance.

So what's the real story behind the fiasco? "We have already released a statement on the same and would not like to comment beyond that," says drummer Lars Ulrich, when asked.

Two days later on October 30, Metallica finally played to 40,000 delirious fans at Bangalore's Palace Grounds. Says lead vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield, "It was an awesome experience to have played here to a wonderful audience. It was overwhelming to receive lots of love and support from the fans."

Lars adds, "We would love to visit India again. I guess that says it all." Metallica had performed in the country as part of their promotions for their album, Lulu, which was released in September. The band has collaborated with rock singer, Lou Reed on this project.

"Two years ago in Madison Square Garden, the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame was throwing a 25th year celebratory bash. They had actually asked us if we would host a segment. Our job was to find other artistes to perform and collaborate with. On top of that list was an obvious choice, Lou Reed, whom I think is kind of a solo version of Metallica. We've always seen a lot of the band in Lou, and just felt that that was the most obvious place to start," says Lars.

Till date, Lulu, has received the worst critical reception for any Metallica album in recent years. So, do such bad reviews affect the heavy-metal veterans? Says Lars, "We have read a lot of reviews. They were quite interesting, as people haven't focused on what the album really is." James points out, "Anyway the album is very special to us and we had a fantastic experience recording it."

Pakistani singer Adnan Sami played the piano before the audience chivvied him for his first hit, Lift Kara De. "My God, this song would be a little out of place here but anyways," he said before singing. It is said that Shakira charged R18cr for her act while Sami took home R50 lakh.
