The rumor for the last few months have been that Shahrukh Khan, will be the next film-star to host the television show ‘Bigg Boss 4′.

However, those rumors were smashed today as SRK made it known that he will not be doing the show due to time constraints and conflicts in scheduling. The show happens to take place while King Khan is shooting for ‘Don 2′.

Amitabh Bachchan is available for the spot, however, he was the host of ‘Bigg Boss 3,’ and the channel has a strict policy forbidding repeat hosts. Apparently those involved with ‘Bigg Boss’, because they have no solid back-up in case things with SRK fell through.

It is being rumored that Akshay Kumar could step in and host the season, but the channel is prepared to go without a film-star if Akshay doesn’t work out.

That’s right, Hrithik Roshanis set to be the next permanent fixture to be left on display in London for millions of admirers to see!!!

Madame Tussauds wax-museum is the most popular of it’s kind in the entire world, and celebrities from all over the world are represented as wax figures for all their fans to see.

Hrithik will be going the prestigious ranks of some of Bollywood’s biggest names. Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, andSalman Khan all have wax representations of themselves on display at the museum.

Congratulations Hrithik! I know this may be a huge event for you, but the museum just revealed it’s Kim Kardashiansculpture!!! I mean how prestigious could it really be when all you need is a big butt to get a wax-figure of yourself.

As alwaysBollywood legend, Amitabh Bachchan (Big B), found another reason to speak his mind on an issue that hardly involves him. Big B did not hesitate to make his thoughts known after his son’s latest film release, ‘Ravaan’.

Apparently Big B was not happy with the way the movie was edited, and believed that certain vital scenes were left out of the final product. “”Lot of merited film edited out, causing inconsistent performance and narrative. Abhishek`s erratic behavior was due to symbolic 10 heads visually appearing and each giving him different attitudes to adopt for a situation, he would then finally shake them off and decide,” blasted Amitabh on Twitter.

He goes on to explain that the final product excludes the “heads” and only shows his son with an unflattering look of confusion, ”It`s sad, in the edit you only see the after effect of that thinking process, hence inconsistent. In the edit all the visual heads got cut and you see a confused Beera expression and wonder why?(sic).”

Big B just can’t help himself, even movies starring his dear son and daughter-in-law is not safe from this man’s insane scrutiny. We’re still wondering when the next time Big B will get in front of the camera himself again.

Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai, is one of the most most beautiful ladies in the industry today. Even with younger and sexy actresses breaking into the Bollywood film scene, Aishwarya has kept her commitment to working hard and remains one of top leading ladies.

Aishwarya was recently interviewed and during which she was asked about her newest movie, ‘Ravaan’, which also stars the actress’ famous husband, Abhishek Bachchan. “Right now, I think ‘Raavan’ has been the most challenging of all the roles I’ve done in the past,” Aishwarya explains.

Although the actress says that working with her husband is always a pleasure and she admires his professionalism as well as his desire to have a good time with those around him. When asked about her husband and his connection with his father, the ever popular Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya says, “That’s what’s so wonderful about him. Right from the beginning, he did not use that to any kind of advantage. He always says ‘Of course I’m proud to be his son’. You know, he respects it, he takes pride in it.”

Aishwarya promises the movie to be a big success and includes the fact that the work her husband has been doing lately has been all the right choices and she is happy to be a part of that!

Abhishek Bachchan has just recently finished shooting his newest film ‘The Game’, and is awaiting the release ‘Raavan’. Abhishek has also been extremely busy with his recent schedule, however, sources have revealed that the actor is planning a leisure trip to Africa.

One of the best things about Abhishek is not his fame, success, or high-profile love life, but instead it is his love for “the beautiful game”, soccer. And with the 2010 Fifa world cup taking place in South Africa, it’s obvious why Abhishek has decided to make this trip.

Amitabh Bachchan (Abhishek’s father) is the one who first admitted his son’s intentions of going to see some of the world class action taking place on the fields in South Africa. Big B claims that he himself attended the final game in the 1994 World Cup between Brazil and Italy, and understands his son’s desire to go. “I know where this is coming from. A World Cup final in Los Angeles many years ago between Italy and Brazil – what a dream match!’ explained Amitabh.

Bollywood superstar and legend, Amitabh Bachchan, has found time to extend a congratulations to fellow actor Shahrukh Khan for reaching 400,000 followers on Twitter.

Big B is a recent member of the Twitter community, and realizes that he may never reach the mark that SRK just passed.  SRK is the most followed Bollywood star on the networking site, yet he still has a long way to go before reaching the likes of Ashton Kutcher.

Priyanka Choprais one of the closest to SRK, but the actress still has yet to hit the 400,000 mark. And Amitabh isn’t too far behind SRK either; the 67-year-old has just under 100,000 followers himself. However, it seems as though Shahrukh proves again why he gets the title ‘King of Bollywood’.

Sleazers you heard me correct. It seems like Amitabh Bachchan was in a duty free shop at a Malaysian Airport when a passerby saw him and told him, ” Hello Mr. Shah Rukh Khan…” How can you mistake Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, they don’t even look alike.

The Big B is still trying hard how to take the incident. “I am still debating in my head whether I should take this as a compliment or not. For the official to find absolute dedication in his name giving, sends me a healthy feeling. I shall remain with it before our electronic medium takes this over and builds it into a storm,” he added.

If I was the Big B I would be happy if someone called me someone that is a generation younger than I am.

Lets compare these two and let me know what you think. I just don’t know how anyone can mistake the two for each other??? It must be the quality of the pirated copy of the dvd prints in Malaysia….

It is no secret that the Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are madly in love, and take every opportunity to express their affection towards one another.

Abhishek goes as far as calling his wife on every break troughout his day to check-in. The Bollywood star also gives Aishwarya a very in-depth portrayal of his day so that his wife does not miss a beat.

Aishwarya does not seem to be the jealous type, but with all the speculation of Bollywood romances, and lets not forget Abhishek’s father, Amitabh Bachchan, and how faithful he has been to loving wife Jaya Bachchan. haha!

Jaya Bachchan was participating in an interview Friday, however she adamantly refused to answer any questions in regards to her husband, Amitabh Bachchan and the Bandra-Worli sea link.

“I am not here to speak for him,” Jaya proclaimed. It seems that unlike Big B, Jaya understands that other adults have voices of their own, and can answer questions regarding controversy all by themselves.

Big B should take a lession from his lovely wife, though it may seem that she was being rude to the reporters, Jaya simple didn’t want to speak about a situation that did not involve her. How ’bout that!

Aishwarya Rai is a busy girl this year with 4 movies all set to release in 2010, as opposed to the shameful one movie in 2009 (it’s not like you were having children). The four movies are expected to be worth a lot of money collectively, and promise to keep the 36-year-old on her toes and in the public eye.

Aishwarya is actually still shooting with co-star Hrithik Roshan, in ‘Guzaarish’, which would obviously make it the last of the four films to be released.

Also to be released are a bilingual, sci-fi film entitled ‘Endhiran’, Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ravana’, and Vipul Shah’s ‘Action Replay’. Whatever the movie happens to be, hopefully it’s better than her 2009 Hollywood bust, Pink Panther 2.

Aishwarya spent over a year on the films and even experienced issues with her health. Remember how defensive Amitabh Bachchan became towards media stories regarding his daughter-in-law. Calm down Big B, I’m still a fan.

Let’s all just be happy she recovered and is now gracing the big screen yet again. It’s about time!

Big B Somewhat Responds to Article about Aishwarya Rai       

Amitabh Bachchan shares his “deep anguish, pain, and disgust” today with his latest blog in response to a local publication in Mumbai. The article claims that the Bachchan family is becoming impatient with Aishwarya Rai for not producing a family hire by now, and that stomach tuberculosis has further delayed any chance of pregnancy. Amitabh’s response to the article was swift and concise “…not a single portion of this article is true!” He concludes by saying he is prepared to fight “…till my [Amitabh] last breath” for the purpose of protecting his “daughter” (-in-law).

Big B’s conviction makes shady journalism seem pretty apparent, but it’s hard not to wonder if there may be a little truth in the story. Aishwarya is already 37, and the older she gets to more difficult a pregnancy can become. The Bachchan’s can always just steal a page from Angelina Jolie’s book and adopt 2 or 3 kids just in case. And what about these stomach problems for Aishwarya? Are we to believe she’s 100% healthy? Why didn’t Big B address any of that?

This isn’t the first we heard of Aishwarya being sick. Big B posted on his blog Monday how Aishwarya is recovering from a “condition” that kept her from eating, and left her with a fever and soar throat. It seems that maybe a small portion of the article was true Amitabh, and it will be interesting to see what else comes from all of this. I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom for the big man; brief comments and avoiding specific facts will never work out the way you intend. Think about it!
