We caught with Pooja recently in a sexy backless high slit red gown on the sets of her movie at Basra Studio, Kandivali east Mumbai, where she was moving sensuously to the choreography of Vicky on latest track 'Ho Jayega Koi Fanaa'.
We playfully asked her "Ho Jayega Kaun Fanaa?" to which her quick retort was all the people who have stood by her in thick and thin.
It was pleasure to see the lady giving her 'all' at the shoot. Going by what we saw we won't be surprised if the song turns out to be a super success. We wish Pooja all the very best and hope her hard work pays off!
In the advertising world, it's common knowledge that sex sells. So, basically, if you put Rihanna's ultra-sexy face on a brand, it will fly off the shelves in no time. Or so we thought.
The singer, who appeared in a Nivea commercial last year-a sponsor of her world tour, "Loud"-has had her lotion rights revoked. According to cosmetic tycoon Stefan Heidenreich, the new head of Nivea's parent firm, Beiersdorf, she's simply too outrageous for the brand.
"The advert starring Rihanna was a no go. I do not understand how Nivea can be brought into association with Rihanna," Heidenreich said. "Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability."
The company has certainly done a 180 on their love for RiRi. Just last year she fronted the brand's 100 Years Skincare for Life campaign, and Nivea released a photograph of the then red-haired star posing seductively. We don't know about you, but if applying Nivea lotion gets us Rihanna-looking legs, we're in.
At the time, rep for the brand, Markus Pinger, said, "We are excited to have Rihanna supporting us in our celebration and building a new generation of fans. "Over the past 100 years, Nivea has been an iconic skin-care brand across the world. Rihanna is a music icon and her digital footprint will help us bring our anniversary celebration to consumers wherever they are."
And then Nivea threw a party for the singer to celebrate her birthday in Beverly Hills. It was decked out with ice sculptures and cupcakes with flags from Rihanna's native Barbados. Anyone else receiving mixed signals?
We're a little bummed for Rihanna-she's a badass who just experienced a major slap in the face for being herself. And since when does having sex appeal mean you're not "trustworthy" or "reliable"? Tell us your thoughts: Should Rihanna has been dropped by Nivea?
Lindsay Lohan has never seemed shy when it comes to showing off her body – after all she posed nude in Playboy last year. But while filming a sex scene for her upcoming movie “The Canyons” with porn star James Deen, she suddenly got demure. Lohan reportedly demanded the 10-man crew strip down to their skivvies while she filmed the scene in order to make her feel more comfortable going topless in front of them. Although the guys weren’t too thrilled with the idea initially, they did eventually give in to the actress. In a photo posted on Facebook, Lohan and Deen are seen lying in bed ... but covered by a sheet. Says her publicist Steve Honig, “The cast and crew have been working with Lindsay to make the film as compelling as possible.”
And Lohan, 26, has apparently been working hard too. Although the actress has been plagued by complaints of arriving late on the sets of both her Lifetime movie “Liz & Dick” and “Glee,” she’s seemingly been prompt for “The Canyons,” which was written by “American Psycho” author Bret Easton Ellis and is about the seedy side of Los Angeles. In a Facebook post, director Paul Schrader praised Lohan after her first week on the job and compared her to past screen legends. “Working with her every day on varied scenes I've been making a mental checklist of classic movie performances she's touched upon,” Schrader wrote last week. “There's has been a lot of Ann Margaret [sic], some Gena Rowlands and Faye Dunaway and of course some bits of Liz Taylor and Monroe as well as a little Rita Hayworth and even Gene Tierney (although the last may be more my creation than hers). Oh yeah, and Angie Dickinson. And Lee Remick. And Shelley Winters...”
But after his glowing review, many Lohan detractors scoffed at Schrader’s words. In a follow-up post this past Sunday, he reiterated his feelings in a spelling-challenged rant. “I read the reactions to my earlier post about Lindsay and other film actresses with curiousity,” he wrote. “Lindsay certainly fires up intense feelings. We pay performers to dance on the edge of the cliff and the closer they dance the more we pay them. Lindsay is one of those performers who dances on the edge and, as such, her performance in The Canyons is reminescent of other actrresses on the edge--Gena Rowlands is the one who most often comes to mind. And, at cliff's edge, she's magnetic. The truth of the tale will be in the work itself. Just wait.”

Her bare back in ‘Hate Story’ poster and the explicit trailer have already ensured Paoli Dam a sensational debut in Bollywood but the Bengali beauty is not perturbed about being typecast as a sex symbol in the industry.
Dam says she does not find anything shocking in the content or her role of a revenge seeking woman in the Vikram Bhatt film.
"As an actor, I feel boldness is just a mindset, It`s not just about wearing less clothes and showing your bare back on-screen. I am not the first one to do that. There are many actresses who did it before.
"I don`t think it will typecast me because I can`t repeat myself. I am an actress and it`s my job to bring out something new everytime. I don`t like my career to be monotonous. I am getting many offers of lead roles in Hindi films and they are completely different to what I have done in this film," Dam said.
The 32-year-old Bengali actor, who already has a body of work in Bengal after starting her career with Gautam Ghosh`s Kaalbela, says she decided to make her debut with Hate Story as it gave her enough scope to perform as a newcomer.
"I hadn`t thought of entering Bollywood before. I was quite content with the kind of Bengali films I was doing in Tollywood. But I chose this because I can`t say no to Vikram Bhatt. He is sensible director and a big name in the industry. I like the storyline and my character (Kavya) because as a performer I had enough scope to perform.
"It`s a multi-dimensional character. You get so many layers to perform in one character. It was a lucrative deal for me. I feel, getting a women-centric film as your launch veichle is a big thing. Moreover, the film has got good song and dance sequence to show my versatility," Dam said.
Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, the film revolves around the life of a female journalist who plots revenge against the man who ruined her life. The film releases on April 20.
"Hate Story is not about nudity. It`s an emotional film. I play a girl who is like any other girl, who falls in love and in the quest of it she loses her job and motherhood and is ruined. The only option in her life is to take revenge," Dam added.
After working in Bengali and Hindi cinema, she feels Bollywood is more glamorous whereas Bengali cinema is culturally rooted.
"Bollywood is more stylised and glamerise. Whereas Bengali cinema is more rooted to their culture and tradition. Bollywood is a brand itself because it is an amalgamation of all the cultures in our country," she said.
The actress is also shooting for a movie based on Rabindranath Tagore`s Ellar Charodhyaya, where she is playing Ella. The film is a period drama set in 1930.

* Paoli Dam to go nude in ‘Choli Ke Peeche’?
For the second time in a week, Carly Rae Jepsen has allegedly been caught on film showing more skin than she'd probably like. The "Call Me Maybe" singer has denied that still photos from a sex tape starring her posted on Perez Hilton's blog on Monday were her. But now, TMZ is reporting that the 26-year-old Canadian pop star's computer was hacked and what the website describes as "XXX photos" were stolen. The cybercrime reportedly happened in March, and the Vancouver Police Department was notified. As the department confirms to the website, an investigation is ongoing "in regards to a theft of electronic property belonging to Jepsen." Police already have a suspect, who faces prison time if convicted.
Despite the scandals, this year has been an exceedingly good one for Jepsen! Her infectious track was No. 1 for the seventh week in a row on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, breaking the record of six weeks held by another solo female artist — Lady Gaga. On Sunday, she performed at the Teen Choice Awards 2012, where she also snagged surfboards for Choice Breakout Artist and Choice Song of the Summer. Jepsen dropped a new video, "Good Time," featuring Owl City, on Tuesday. She posted on Twitter Wednesday that she planned to work on her new album, which is set to hit stores in the fall, with producer Max Martin — who's worked with Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Pink. "Just went for a beautiful early morning walk here in Sweden," Jepsen wrote. "Working with Max later today. Feeling lucky. <3"
In fact, the singer and former “American Idol” host told that she’d be open to getting hitched for a fourth time.
“For me, the biggest dream is the fairy tale,” the 42-year-old mother of twins said in an interview that aired Tuesday. "I will never give up on that dream.”
Right now, the man standing next to J. Lo is her boyfriend/backup dancer Beau “Casper” Smart, who indicated that their romance took a while to blossom.
He also said that Lopez is ultimately the one who runs the show - even if he is helping to choreograph her moves behind the scenes.
Lopez told that she doesn’t mind taking direction from her man because she’s had lots of experience working with significant others.
Clearly things are going well - Smart is currently the chief choreographer of J. Lo’s world tour with Enrique Iglesias.

CharlizeTheron has no qualms about taking her clothes off -- for the right role, that is.
The Academy Award winner, 36, shares the cover of W's August issue with her Prometheus costar Michael Fassbender, 35. The magazine spread features the scantily-clad actors fondling each other in a grimy warehouse.
When asked if it's harder to film a death scene or a sex scene, Theron quips, "It depends on who you're doing the sex scene with. I don't have issues being naked . . . That sounds very slutty."
"Kind of," Fassbender teases. "I didn't want to say anything, but yes."
"What I mean is, I'm not hung up on my body," Theron clarifies. "I've been lucky to work with people I've been really comfortable with. I've had maybe two occasions where [I wasn't]."
Theron then joked, "And Michael's one of the two who did not make me feel very comfortable!"
Fassbender -- who famously went full-frontal nude for his role in 2011's Shame -- admits that "sex scenes sound like more fun than they are. Death scenes are easier, really. Maybe because I've died so many times. I've had a lot of practice. In my movies, I'm often naked or dying."

An Australian magazine has caused controversy by publishing photos of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's honeymoon.
Woman's Day has printed 16 photos of the royal couple in swimwear while on holiday in the Seychelles last year.
British publications were aware of the location of the honeymoon, but made an agreement at the time not to publish any photographs.
It is currently unclear how the magazine was able to have gathered the photographs, which would have been taken by a long lens.
The cover photo shows the pair holding hands on a beach, while the title reads 'Our Island Paradise'. The magazine has been met with criticism for making it appear that the couple had allowed the photographs to be published.
The married couple had asked for complete privacy during their honeymoon last year.
A royal spokesperson said: "It's a very private moment and we would ask people to respect that privacy, as we did at the time."
A royal spokesperson said: "It's a very private moment and we would ask people to respect that privacy, as we did at the time."
Woman's Day officials have yet to respond to the controversy.
A separate Australian magazine - NewIdea - has previously caused outrage among the royal family by publishing the infamous 'Camillagate' transcripts, the phone conversations between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.
The same magazine later broke protocol by revealing that Prince Harry was going to Afghanistan with the British Army in 2008.
New Idea issued an apology for what it described as a "serious lack of judgement" after the news was picked up by The Drudge Report and other media, bringing the prince's tour of duty to a close.
Kim K. has finally reached her limit, appearing in nothing but body paint for the magazine’s much hyped Art Issue!
For anyone who thought Kim Kardashian‘s Playboy photo shoot was the raciest you would ever see the reality star, brace yourself for her appearance in the November issue of W. The curvaceous beauty shows off every angle of her much desired body — wearing nothing but silver body paint! We wonder what stepdad Bruce Jenner is going to have to say about these pics!
“I’m not a drinker, and when I’m up on the table dancing, it’s for the picture,” Kim confesses in her interview with W. “Then I sit right back down. I play into the perception of me, but it’s not really me. And the show reveals that.”
And despite what the tabloids spit out about her, Kim continues to remain strong in her sense of individuality. “I’ve learned to ignore everything,” Kim explains. “In the beginning I thought I was too sensitive for this. I’d Google myself and it would freak me out. Now I could care less if they say I’m pregnant with twins by my brother.”
In fact going on reality television has helped Kim develop a sense of self confidence. “I used to think, I have to be this or that or skinny,” Kim admits. “Now, because of the show, everyone is embracing just me, which has given me such a confidence. Now, I’m like, Why did I ever give that feeling the time of day? I’m so mature now. I’m a grown-up version of myself.”
From the very beginning, it was obvious to Kim that her family was made to be in the spotlight. “People would come over and say, ‘Where are the cameras,” Kim says. “Everyone always said that it was like a sitcom at our house! We also knew that while we had the glitz and glam for an audience to vicariously live through, we are such a normal family that everyone can relate to.”

The character of Catwoman has been brought to life by a number of actresses, but for this month's "The Dark Knight Rises," director Christopher Nolan found the perfect person to fill Selina Kyle's catsuit in Anne Hathaway.
Nolan told that the character "is the most alive presence in the movie in the beginning," and she also helps draw Bruce Wayne (Batman) out of his shell. "She's a breath of fresh air...and Anne Hathaway just nails the character, delightfully."
She did have to put in hard work to portray Catwoman, Hathaway tells us, and had to dedicate herself to getting stronger.
"You can't have little spaghetti arms when you're doing that," Hathaway, 29, joked. "A huge part of the character was her strength and you can't fake that, you have to actually become strong. And it was great to have the time to develop that strength and to also have the support that I needed. I've never played a character that was so dependent on that before."
Hathaway said she spent about 10 months preparing for the part and shooting the film, and she added that she surprised herself with her focus.
"I'd never done anything like that, nor believed that I could," Hathaway said. "I've never really been that person. And it was pretty life-changing realizing that I could commit to something that was healthy for that long. I did a lot of growing over the course of this film."
Fans of the superhero series will get to soon decide for themselves if Hathaway was the right choice when the movie bows July 20.
Watch the video above for more "behind-the-scenes" moments with Nolan and Hathaway.
We know Kristen Wiig's been having a fantastic year professionally (even though we were sad to see her leave "Saturday Night Live"), but her life off-camera is in a great place as well, the 38-year-old tells Marie Claire magazine in its August issue.
The "Bridesmaids" co-writer and star is said to be dating The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, and she seems to allude to their relationship in the interview.
"I will say that I'm happier than I've ever been, and I feel very lucky right now." When asked why, she says, "Where I am now. Who he is? Those are the two big ones."
A demure admission for sure, but Wiig tells Marie Claire, "I am shyer than most people think."
Sonali Bendre joins the cast of an eagerly anticipated sequel, releasing in 2013: Balaji Motion Pictures' Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai...Again.
In what is being seen by some as a casting coup, director Milan Luthria already has Akshay Kumar and Imran Khan on board as both represent diverse sensibilities. He says, "I am thrilled to add another twist to the casting. Sonali is a gorgeous looker, a competent actor and suits the role to the T. My crew and I are super excited to offer her this film."
He adds, "Sonali's character is called Mumtaz. The name spells enigma and is very crucial to the plot of the film. The character doesn't fit into the usual mould of a mother or a sister or bhabhi but has an identity of its own. That is what makes it special. And that's why Sonali agreed to be a part of the film."
The director said that they were desperately looking for a heroine to play Mumtaz but failed to come up with suitable names. "Eventually, Sonali's name cropped up. We feel she's the right person to play this sensitive role."
Sonali reveals, "Well, the only thing I can say is that it is a spin-off on the Emraan Hashmi-Prachi Desai relationship in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and shows what it has grown into. I can't reveal anything beyond this. The role is very interesting. Moreover, it's a massive franchise."
The actress adds, "I have worked with Milan earlier in Chori Chori (2003) and share a comfort level with him. For me, it is very important that I sync well with the people I am working with. Besides, Milan, Shobhaji and Ekta are family to me. Also, the film is going to be shot in Mumbai and that really works for me as I won't be away from my family."
Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai... Again goes on floors in August. The film will be shot in Mumbai and Muscat.
