No Love Lost beetween Farah & Deepika

Post the release and success of “Om Shanti Om”, strong rumours did the rounds about the fight between Deepika Padukone and Farah Khan.

The actress was blasted by the media for being ungrateful and not keeping in touch with the director who launched her.

It all began when Farah gave birth to her triplets and Deepika failed to visit her in hospital. She was too busy with her assignments for which she was travelling continuously.

Now, after the release of “Bachna Ae Haseeno”, she is a little free and it seems that the actress has used the time to catch up with Farah.

The duo apparently even visited designer Manish Malhotra's office together to discuss Deepika's look and clothes for her appearance in “Billoo Barber”, which is being produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment and directed by Priyadarshan.

Celina Supports The Gay / Lesbian Community

India held it's first ever Gay/Lesbian Pride Parade this past weekend and Bollywood starlet Celina Jaitley was there to show her support. Now there have been films that have touched on the subject, like Girlfriend, Men Not Allowed, Fire and most recently the unreleased, Dostana. But all of those films (with the exception of Dostana) were met with protests. But this Pride Parade shows further steps to make the Gay/Lesbian community more acceptable in Indian societies.

Riya Sen Hacked

Riya Sen is one worried woman. The Bengali actress feels she is being stalked. And she has frightening reason for this fear. Over the last 72 hours, three e-mail accounts of Riya’s have been hacked.

“I don’t know what to do,” said a tense Riya. “I had important and personal information in these accounts and I can’t believe it’s all gone now.”

She hasn’t as yet reported the crime to the Cyber Cell of the Mumbai Police. For when her first e-mail account was hacked, the actress just went ahead and created another.

“Within minutes, that too was hacked,” said Riya. She got herself another e-mail account. And then realised that her social networking site had been completely wiped out. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” said Riya. “It’s like somebody walked into my bedroom and caught me unaware.”

What is eating her is that her network site had a list of all her celeb friends and the hacker could do untold mischief by going into those details. “It’s killing me and I don’t know what to do,” moaned Riya.

The site also has conversations with friends, photos from private albums, and even scripts sent to her by filmmakers. “All this could be out in the virtual world now. I can’t imagine why anyone would do this,” said the actress.

She suspects nobody. But admitted her password is known to her best friend. “Sometimes I cannot access e-mail, so she does it for me, but that’s not an issue, I know her password too.”
