Webinfosys's Entertainment News : TomKat moving to the Big Apple!

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have decided to cut all that travelling time between Colorado and New York when the actress makes her Broadway debut by moving to the Big Apple for some time.

The couple have snapped up an apartment in New York so that they don’t have to separate the family , revealed All My Sons producer Eric Falkenstein to the New York Post. He told the paper: "[Katie] and Tom are committed to keeping the family together, so they have to get an apartment here [in New York]."

Falkenstein also defends picking Katie for the role of Anne in the play. "Katie's not a celebrity type. She's done brilliant work in films like Pieces of April and The Ice Storm. Ann starts out as a simple, sweet, average Midwesterner, and by the finale gets up the gumption to stand and confront what's wrong," he said.

"(Katie) is a natural sweetheart who can sniff out phonies ... Katie basically has that exact moral fiber [of her character in the play]."

Katie debuts in mid-October for a limited 16-week engagement. She will be on stage six days a week.

Webinfosys's Entertainment News : For the love of the character!

After four years of training, an NDA cadet becomes an officer; a three years’ course gets one a black belt... But our Bollywood stars can’t afford to be doing 10 professional courses at a given time – they also have to shoot for their movies, you see.

And so, they train in their own way to get into the skin of their characters. After all, it’s all about making it look as real on reel as possible...

Priyanka Chopra
She’s our desi Charlie’s angel – what with having done stunts and daredevil acts herself. And now, Priyanka Chopra has learnt martial arts for her character – a bodyguard in the movie Drona. While practicing and doing the stunts, Priyanka had injured her abs. “I had to train for a Sikh martial art form using kirpans and chakkars. It was difficult and required a lot of flexibility.” But Piggy Chops has not shied away from the challenge of acting out the character. Way to go girl!


Harman Baweja
His debut is awaited, but he is not going to sit back and nibble at his nails till then. Harman’s next, after Love Story 2050, is Victory, in which he plays a cricketer. “I trained to be a cricketer in four months, because I wanted my role to get a professional cricketer’s touch,” says Harman. “Many professional cricketers think I am a cricketer now, I’m glad my hardwork paid off. I have even faced Brett Lee’s bowling,” says a bowled over Harman.


Irrfan Khan
He will be playing the role of a barber in Priyadarshan’s Billo Barber. But he is taking his character’s profession seriously and is going to learn to wield the scissors deftly. And for that, he wants to apprentice under a roadside barber. Why? “I don’t want to learn the barber’s art at some posh salon. That kind of hair-cutting I already know. I’ve done it to my kids. A bonafide barber holds the scissors and the customer’s hair in a particular manner. I’m actually going to sit with a roadside barber and observe him at work,” he says. And he intends to soon be a pro at it and try giving SRK a new hairstyle. Now, that’ll be a ‘shear’ pleasure, what say?

John Abraham
This dude recently took guitar classes for Imtiaz Ali’s Rock Star. John believes that, “just pretending to play the guitar for his role won’t do as the audiences today have become very intelligent to figure out the real from the fake.” So he is ready to get his fingers calloused and learn to play chords and riffs on the guitar. He has a good sense of tempo and soon we will see the biker dude take centre stage with his guitar.

Sushmita
Sen
She has fought the ghosts, kicked the bad guys and danced on the item numbers. But when Sushmita Sen plans to make her first production venture, she wants everything to be perfect. And so, Sush learnt how to ride a horse for her character in her movie Rani Laxmibai. “Yes, I did learn horse riding just for this movie and I guess it was essential for the fight scenes. Rani Laxmibai was a great horse-rider. If I am playing her character, I should at least know how to sit on the horse!” Charlie’s Angel number three, is Sush.

Deepika Padukone
So what if she chose acting over badminton? At least, Deepika has no plans of limiting her horizon, and is willing to try out everything. And so, the girl went out of her way to learnt martial arts for Rohan Sippi’s Chandini Chowk To China. “I’ve trained in martial arts for the film. And I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Because I’m athletic.” So what if we don’t have Charlie, we still have angel number two – ready to kick some a**!

Neil Nitin Mukesh
This newcomer is busy shooting in Bangkok. But, he is not just in front of the camera but also takes turns behind it. Neil learnt professional photography for his character of a photographer in the movie Freeze.

Webinfosys's Entertainment News : Malaika Arora’s inked

Malaika Arora Khan is known for her dare-to-bare dressing style, but the gal likes keeping her secrets. Take her tattoos, for instance. But just this once, Malaika is game to telling all to TOI. Read on...

‘I am an angel’

My idea of a tattoo is that not many should be able to see it. I have always wanted a tattoo and the one you see now has ‘angel’ written on it. I also have another one with my son’s name on it but I am not telling you where I have got it. And I will keep adding to my tattoo tally as and when I have another kid. It is quite an addiction. I got it done with my sister Amrita and we were amongst the first in the industry to have it.

‘Amu’s meeting Syl’

I am happy the way Amrita’s career is shaping. She will be shooting at the Universal Studio in LA for Kambhat Ishq and the movie that she is doing has some very interesting cameos. Like by Sylvester Stallone and loads of other Hollywood stars!

‘That episode was a nightmare’

The incident over the promotion of a fairness cream was a nightmare for me and Arbaaz. We were just endorsing a brand and the company had an idea of launching it in a different manner. And suddenly, there were these divorce rumours. We both have stayed away controversies all our lives. In fact, I have been Ms Uncontroversial. This was a learning experience and it made me realise that people can be real strange sometimes. But I should also tell people that we actors are also human beings and the language that was used for us was uncalled for. Arbaaz was really hurt and he did not like the way his wife and kid were written about. But this chapter is over for us! But in the whole episode, some people came out in our support. That felt good.

‘Salman’s real self will come out’

I have seen the first episode of Salman’s TV show and I think what he says about this giving a clue to the person he is, is very true. When we do a movie, we are playing a character and when we do a reality show like he is doing, our true personality is revealed. The audience gets to see a slice of the real person that you are. And with this show, people will see the mad, crazy and child-like Salman... the way he is with us.

‘My NBA invitation’

I am going to Spain where I have a show. After that, there is more work in Dubai. And then, I will be taking a chutti and will join Amrita in Los Angeles where she is shooting. In fact, I was invited for the NBA finals in the US. But they wanted me there a week in advance and my schedule in Dubai didn’t permit me that. I wish I could have gone as it would have been a good experience!
