With some superb movies last year, Jessica Alba has become the most talked about leading lady of Hollywood. But it was not all rosy for her in the beginning. She started with some small roles and was soon marked as a sex bomb with such roles like the striptease she performed in Sin City and the skin-tight body suit she sported in Fantastic Four. But the 27 years old star is ready to expand her acting horizons beyond just being sexy girl. She now wants people to recognize her for acting skills rather than her sexy image.

Today I was scanning the local newspaper for news headlines that would interest me and I did find a very interesting one at that. There was a headline that read “Bacchan sorry with hint of sting” which referred to an ongoing tussle or clash of personalities between Mr. Amitabh Bacchan and Mr. Shah Rukh Khan about their involvement in the small screen ( yes, the ‘IDIOT BOX’) . I don’t really get interests in squabbling of film personalities because in my view they are of low taste - either professional/personal rivalry and hence accusing each other of sabotaging or cheap publicity stunts. I personally believe in the last point more than the first one.
What made me read the first few lines were involvement of two of India’s biggest film personalities who are almost legends in a film mad country. I again found professional rivalry is being the main focus of the clash.
I would not been blogging here if the news item was just that. The very interesting part that I found was - for the first time I saw Indian film stars (very big one at that) owning personal blogs and using the medium to interact with their fans and well wishers. It seems our filmstars are unaware as yet of the power of blogging and utilizing it as a public relation instrument that would greatly bring them face to face with people who do not live in dream world like them. Mr. Bacchan himself acknowledged it in his two comments -
I was not aware of the existence of such a medium. I read about it in the media, spoke to the people who were in the process of preparing my website and they educated me on the blog.

What a debut! Every budding actor dreams of a debut that would catapult them straight into stardom but it seldom happens for most. It just happened that way for Deepika Padukone the hottest star in Bollywood with only one release under her belt- the blockbuster “Om Shanti Om”.
The lissome lass with the legs that never end, has just announced her transformation is complete from the ramp to the silver screen. Of-course this is not the first ever film by Deepika as she acted on a Kannada film “Aishwarya” during her one year preparatory stage for “OSO” which did quite well. But it was “Om Shanti Om” directed by Farah Khan that has brought wide spread recognition and stardom for this “Liril” girl. The film has already become the highest grossed movie ever in the US breaking the record held by “Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna”.
Not only that, she is getting rave reviews from each and every movie critic who is worth his shout for holding her own and shining despite presence of 31 top-flight stars not to mention Shah Rukh “The King” Khan in the movie. According to Shah Rukh
“Not only is Deepika an intelligent girl with a very expressive face but she is also a great dancer which made things easier for me”.
Noted film critic Taran Adarsh says
” She has shared screen space with the best in the industry and held her own in her first fil. That’s highly commendable”.
Most critics agree that the doe eyed beauty has delivered a sterling performance in her first movie. She already has amazing fan following among young women who has been inspired by her portrayal of the 70’s look so much so that, stylists and make-up specialists are making breezy business during this wedding season what with every bride wanting do a Deepika lookalike in the movie during their marriages. 
Naturally, offers are pouring in with scripts and roles written for her. But her diary is already full of commitments with a stream of moneymaking opportunities like store 
openings, ad campaigns and other appearances. She has already bagged the coveted position of brand ambassador for Tissot -the premium Swiss watch brand.
Deepika, for all the glare she is attracting remains a matter-of-fact person till date. Of course credit has to go to her parents for giving Deepika a normal childhood. She is daughter of arguably India’s finest sports person the former All England Badminton Champion Prakash Padukone. Looking back, it seems Deepika was destined to either become a super-model or a top notch actress. She was offered modeling when only four but her parents were not too keen at that time. But Deepika says she was given every space by her parents and was never thrown into something. By the time she was in standard 10, offer for the Liril Ad came which she could not refuse. That ad is still running on TV.
She has also been very interested in studies and is currently enrolled with Indira Gandhi National University in Sociology and Economics as her subjects. Deepika is also very fond of spending time with her family and loves gardening and baking. She also loves to eat and is not fussy about fitness. She could be next seen blazing the screen opposite Man Of The Moment Akshay Kumar in a Warner Brothers production being directed by Nikhil Advani.

Carla Bruni, the Italian singer dubbed as man eater by the French press for her manizing (if men can be called womanizer, why not?) nature will put the Indian government officials in deep protocol trouble if she accompanies her beau Nocolas Sarkozy on his official visit to India to attend the 58th Republic Day.
It is learnt that, while Indian government has every protocol to honor the wives of visiting foreign dignitaries including head of states, they do not officially have protocols for girl friends of those dignitaries. There has been a well documented whirlwind love story between the French President and the sexy Italian beauty. President Sarkozy has openly acknowledged his deep love for Bruni since he met her in a party in November. Since then they have been romancing around among the Pyramids of Egypt and Petra in Jordan. It is reported that Bruni has already moved in with Sarkozy in the French Presidential Palace. According to a recent report in the French daily Liberation, they are planning to tie the knot soon.
Ironically, the protocol problem faced by India is not isolated. The Egypt government were embarrassed with their State Guest bringing his unmarried girlfriend on an official visit and termed their initial stay in the country as private visit. Saudi Arabia has also told the French not to send their President accompanied by his girl friend. According to London tabloids, Queen Elizabeth is now pondering over whether to assign a single bedroom for Sarkozy and Bruni when she hosts them in March.
