After hosting a show like Laughter challenge and interviewing various cricketers, Shonali Nagrani is now b seen hosting a multifaceted reality show on Sony, Mr. and Ms. Television.
Here is the pretty lasso sharing her experience on hosting shows…
Q. First of all tell us about your experience hosting Mr. and Ms. Television?
A. It's been an amazing experience till now. I have learnt a lot from this show. As an anchor, it's a whole amount of pressure on you.
Nothing should go wrong from your side. In reality shows, twists and turns keep happening and you have to take the show along with it.
Q. How different is this show from the other reality shows been aired on various channels?
A. Every show has its own charm. As far as Mr. and Ms TV is concerned, this show not only showcases dancing talent of the actors but also every talent of theirs. Every actor who is multi-talented has got an opportunity on this platform.
Q. Will we be seeing you hosting the next season of Laughter Challenge?
A. Chances are very minute but there are some other things which are in the pipeline. I will tell everyone when the right time comes.
Q. And what about cricket. When would we see you back in action interviewing cricket stars?
A. I simply love hosting cricket. I think I had best time during World Cup. It was a very wonderful experience. Now that the IPL format has come, I am looking forward to getting involved in it. Besides IPL, there are many big things which are on my mind at the moment.
Q. What do you have to say about the new IPL format been introduced by BCCI?
A. Right now, I really don't want to comment on this. I would rather wait for a month and see how it takes off. I feel it's a great experiment. BCCI is always been very flexible for new changes. Though lots of old school cricketers are upset about it, but as far as I am concerned I am very happy with this new format.
Q. Why haven't we seen you in daily soaps?
A. Because I can't work endlessly like these actors. I am a very free-spirited person who likes to take off whenever I want to. And that life is more important to me than being a household name.
Q. You were been linked with Sreesanth in the past. How do you handle these kind of rumors?
A. Honestly I found it very funny. For me it was the first incident where I was put under a lot of pressure by media. From that incident I learnt one thing that even if you are talking to a famous person make sure that there are no cameras around or no people around.
Q. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
A. I am like the rolling stone which gathers no moss. I do not like to be static, so five years from now I would like to see myself out of the country. I have a feeling that I will keep going and coming back.
Q. Are you happy with your career graph?
A. Right now I am very happy. It's been two and half years now, and considering the kind of work I have done, I am more than satisfied. This is what I always wanted.
Q. Any other projects you are working on?
A. There is one show for Sahara Filmy called Filmy Cocktail which I am doing right now. And then there is one hosting show which I am going to do in future. I am strictly forbidden to talk about that, so I can't really divulge.
Bet Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s publicists wish they got a pay rise every time the rumor of the star couple’s marriage did the rounds.
Hollywood’s hottest couple married again this weekend — not. But this time their publicist deferred the knockdown of rumors of a wedding in a New Orleans wedding chapel to the chapel’s clergyman.
“Brad and Angelina did not get married by us,” the Rev. Tony Talavera, owner of the French Quarter Wedding chapel, told magazine Life & Style Weekly a day after the rumored Saturday wedding.
Talavera said he normally did not reveal who he did or did not marry at his wedding center just 14 blocks from the Jolie-Pitt home but he went public this time after Pitt’s people called him and asked him to “quash any misinformation that’s out there.”
“I have not met them personally,” said Talavera. ”This just got out of control. Their publicist asked me to give out a statement.”
But Talavera said he’d be happy to do the job for Pitt and Jolie if they ever do finally decide to rid themselves of the rumors and take the plunge.
“We extend the invitation. We’re glad they are neighbors,” he said.
The Pussycat Dolls - famed for their raunchy routines - must pay $3,400 for flashing body parts during a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last July.
During the routine, Carmit Bachar, who has since left the group, exposed a breast while Ashley Roberts was accused of revealing her private parts after her tiny pair of shorts left little to the imagination.
Promoters Absolute Entertainment were fined for allowing their act to perform "sexually suggestive" routines in the strict Muslim country.
The penalty was imposed by the council which manages the Kuala Lumpur suburb where the event took place.
The fine followed a complaint from Malaysia's culture minister Rais Yatim, who said the group's concert featured "scantily dressed performers" and "sensuous elements".
He added: "I believe the way the Pussycat Dolls behaved on stage amounted to gross indecency,"
Under the country's Muslim laws, a female performer must be covered from her shoulders to her knees.
Jumping, shouting or throwing of objects onstage or at the audience are all also banned.
Last year, Gwen Stefani and Beyoncé Knowles were forced to dramatically alter their dance routines and cover up during their concerts in the country.
Jessica Simpson - who has been dating American football star Tony Romo - was leaving Los Angeles restaurant Chili's when her mother Tina revealed the 27-year-old star has secretly wed.
When asked if Jessica was planning to marry Tony, Tina laughed: "Jessica is already married to Tony! What are you talking about?"
Jessica, who was previously married to singer Nick Lachey, giggled and added to gossip website TMZ: "Well I guess if my mom said it, it must be true!"
Earlier this year, Tony admitted he was thinking about marrying Jessica - but not yet.
The 27-year-old Dallas Cowboys star said: "I'm sure I'll get married one day. I don't know when though."
Tony's close friend Michael Starr also fuelled wedding rumours by saying: "I think they are going to get married."
Meanwhile, Jessica has reportedly splashed out $3.47 million on a mansion in the Forest Hills' gated community in Nashville, Tennessee.
The property, which is known as The Queen of Northumberland, boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a cinema.
A source said: "Although the gated community includes a private club house with tennis courts and swimming pool for all the other rich residents, The Queen of Northumberland quite naturally has its own pool and tennis court, which means that Jessica need not fraternise and frolic with the other well-booted music industry residents."
Jessica, who is currently working on a country album, wouldn't be the first celebrity to move to Nashville.
Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow also own properties in the area.
Kate Moss is planning a gypsy-themed engagement party.
The supermodel, who is set to wed The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince later this year, has told friends she wants to throw a huge bash after accepting Jamie's marriage proposal.
Source said: "They are thinking about having the actual wedding in September, so the plan is to hold an engagement party in August. Kate asked all her mates for ideas for the engagement and Lily Allen suggested a gypsy-themed party. Kate got really excited and started talking about what she could wear."
Although Kate and Jamie were rumoured to have got engaged while in Amsterdam, Holland, last week, it has been claimed the rocker actually proposed in Paris, France.
The source said: "Kate said he got down on bended knee in Paris underneath the Eiffel Tower. They'd had a few drinks, so she didn't believe it at the time, but she said yes next day."
Meanwhile, Kate - who has been dating Jamie since August last year - is said to be trying for a baby.
The 34-year-old beauty wants to give her five-year-old daughter Lila Grace - from her previous relationship with magazine editor Jefferson Hack - a brother or sister.
A source said: "Kate really wants another baby and she knows that at 34 her biological clock is ticking."
Madonna has shown her unremitting support for Britney Spears, insisting that the media needs to "step off" the troubled singer.
In a recent interview with the “Yo on E!" satellite radio show, Madonna urged everyone to save the fading pop star. "They need to step off. For real...Let's go save her," E! Online quoted her, as telling the radio show.
The ‘Material Girl" singer revealed that Spears remains the favourite artist of her 11-year-old daughter Lourdes. Madonna, who"s married to film director Guy Ritchie, added that Lourdes “gets the drift of what"s going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney."
She also insisted that like her daughter, she also remains a supporter of the beleaguered star.
Madonna recently revealed that she enjoys listening to Spears' Blackout album while exercising.
Britney and Madonna famously locked lips on the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards and collaborated on the song "Me Against the Music."
Madonna also said that she plans to spend the summer in New York and may go on tour in the fall to promote her new album, Hard Candy, due to be out April 29.
Ex-porn star Jenna Jameson desperately wants Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron to pose naked for PETA's "Go Naked" campaign.
Jameson admitted she thinks Theron should pose for animal rights group PETA's "Go Naked" campaign.
"It would be amazing if Charlize Theron did one of our 'Go Naked' campaigns. I saw her just the other day and she just blew me away.
"Charlize is so sexy - I would totally love for her to go naked. I'd die for that," Jameson said.
The adult star is the new spokesperson for the group's anti-leather campaign and added that Theron can take over from her as an "ultimate sex icon".
She said: "Bettie Page was the ultimate sex icon. Next came Marilyn Monroe, then Pamela Anderson, then me. Now I'm on the lookout for the next woman to pass my title on to. Charlize would be perfect.”
