Live Earth India cancelled after Mumbai attacks


Organisers called off the environmental gig after security fears made Bon Jovi and others pull out


The organisers of Live Earth India have cancelled the concert because of security fears after last week's attacks in Mumbai.



Gunmen opened fire at hotels, a railway station and other sites across the city, killing more than 170 people. Although the authorities have brought the situation under control, Bon Jovi and other acts were quick to cancel travel plans - prompting organisers to call off the sold-out charity gig.



Bollywood stars such as Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan had been scheduled to perform alongside western artists Will.I.Am and Roger Waters at the Andheri sports complex on December 7. The concert was designed to highlight environmental concerns and India's Light a Billion Lives solar energy programme.



Organisers of Live Earth India said in a statement that they were "shocked and saddened" by the attacks.



"We always felt very welcomed and safe as we spent more time on the ground in Mumbai to finalise plans," they wrote.



British artist Amar Dhanjan, who was booked to perform, agreed with the decision to cancel. "It's just not important compared to what's happening there right now," she told BBC 6 Music.



The Live Earth concerts were masterminded by former US president Al Gore and partner Kevin Wall. They have taken place around the world, including gigs in London, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney















VERY SAD!!!

Hrithik Floored By Kangana’s Catwalk


Hrithik Roshan, who is currently working with Kangana Ranaut on their forthcoming movie Kites, is really floored by Kangana’s performance in Kites.



“Kangana’s entry in Fashion with the catwalk was simply amazing. I was blown away and complimented her. I think she is so far the best model on the ramp. I have nicknamed her ‘catwalker’ for such an electrifying walk. She has done complete justice to her character,” he exclaimed.



Hrithik’s film Kites is due release in the mid-2009, he plays a teacher in the film and Kangana is one of her students.

Hrithik Roshan smooches Barbara Mori....


Hrithik Roshan has dared and bared again after Dhoom2 in his upcoming flick Kites, he does death defying stunts and smooches his co-star Barbara Mori with utmost ease.



Apparently Hrithik Roshan in a stunt had to kiss his co-star Barabara Mori on cheek, but later it was turned into a smooch.



Hrithik confirms saying , “We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so director Anurag Basu suggested that I kiss Barbara since we were doing something death-defying and dangerous.



I kissed her on her cheek to which she turned around to ask, ‘Given the same situation with your wife Susanne would you kiss her on the cheek?’ I was floored by her logic. The scene was reshot and I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation.”



Then Hrithik adds, “Is kissing such a big deal? Hasn’t our cinema grown up? There are kissing scenes in Kites but nothing to make me squirm. I’d be more than happy watching those scenes with my wife, son and parents.”



Hrithik also revealed the importance of the smooch in the movie, he says, “Kites is a love story about people in love. How do people in love express their feelings? Barbara made me realize how silly we look on screen while shying away from expressing love naturally.”



Well lets see if Hrithik manages to stir some controversy with this kiss like his previous kiss.



















hmmmm......
