I Am She 2010 Miss India Universe Pageant was aired on television yesterday ( 20th June, 2010). As the name signifies, “ I Am She,” in itself proves the independence, identity and the power of women to hold the world and make it a beautiful place to live in. It proves that no matter what the situation is women equally can stand tall with men for the universe, the world or for the matter their own country.
Shakira can sing. She has a great range and her musical style is easy to adapt to Indian melodies,” says music composer, Salim. The reason why he’s praising the singing talent is because Salim and Sulaiman are getting to compose a track for her in an upcoming movie, featuring entrepreneur Sachin Joshi, the sponsor of the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders.
The Latin American sensation, Shakira, will mark her Bollywood debut with this project — which few people have heard about.
Salim confirms reports but is hesitant to divulge any information on the film. “It’s too early to talk about the film, but we are going to start recording the track sometime next month if all goes as planned. Sulaiman and I have already got the sample track ready and we know the basic melody structure we will be using for the song. It is a cabaret style and we will be infusing a lot of her Latin influences ,” Salim says.
The dance track will be filmed on South African model, Candice Boucher. The lyrics will mostly be in English, with a little Hindi thrown in. For the same, Salim is planning on taking Shakira to a dialect coach to get her accent right.
The Emmy-nominated duo is excited about recording the track and say they would like to mix it in a Hollywood studio. “We want to record in our studio, but would like to get the final track mixed by her engineers. The vocals need to stand out,” Salim enthuses.
Bollywood seems to be attracting musicians from abroad. Most recently it was Kylie Minogue who sang a song for Blue and Akon who is doing the honours for Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.One.
Now, the latest entrant to jump into the Bollywood singing bandwagon is Columbian songstress Shakira, who is set to to rock in a song for composer duo Salim-Sulaiman.
Shakira is no stranger to India. She had performed live in Mumbai and other cities back in 2007. She also has repeatedly expressed her desire to be a part of Bollywood.
According to Oneindia website, the song will be shot on South African model Candice Boucher for the film featuring the IPL owner and entrepreneur Sachin Joshi. The film is expected to be recorded in the next couple of months.
'The lyrics would be in English with a smattering of simple Hindi. It won't be a duet like the Kylie Minogue song in Blue. It'd be a Shakira solo dhamaka,' the website quoted a source as saying.
Salim has confirmed the news. 'It would be a very sensuous, cabaret kind of a song,' the website reported him as saying.
In picture: Kareena Kapoor shared her Best Performance in a Leading Role (Female) award - for 3 Idiots - with Vidya Balan (for Paa) 3Idiots swept the 11th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards that concluded on Sunday. But the finale wasn't as glitzy as it was anticipated to be.
The absence of several Bollywood mega stars - led by IIFA brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan – and the threatened boycott by the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce meant the glamour quotient on the final light was much lower than in the past.
However, the likes of Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Bipasha Basu did try to fly the Bollywood flag.
Kareena Kapoor might be the most glamorous actress in Bollywood but for the latest issue of People magazine, he has Devcided to go non-glamorous. In 2008 when she first graced People magazine, she was with heavy make-up but this time, she sports a simple look.Speaking about going de-glam, the diva said, "Beauty lies in being simple and natural and this is what I believe in. This is the real me. I believe in being natural and People's cover has given me this opportunity".
"When they came to me with the concept and said they wanted to do the 'India's most beautiful' issue, I was up for it. It is ironical that the international version of the same issue features Julia Roberts on the cover," she added.
Kareena Kapoor was devoid of make-ups in her debut film, ‘Refugee’ and later in ‘Dev’ and ‘Chameli’, she was seen in least make-up. She has the opinion that looking glamorous or non-glam lots depend on the role that one portrays on screen.
Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador of the International Indian Film Academy Awards. And as has been the tradition, the event has been attended by the Bachchan family including Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya.
In the last few years, many of the big names have been giving it a miss for various reasons. While reports suggested that a fallout in the Shah Rukh Khan - Bachchan relationship may be the reason for the former skipping the event, the marriage of Ash to Abhishek has seen Salman missing the show. But this year, both these actors have been roped in for the various activities at IIFA.
While Shah Rukh Khan was to captain of the celebrity led Indian side for the charity cricket match that will be played against the Sri Lankan cricketers, Salman Khan is the brand ambassador of the charity event of IIFA.
However, there is a very clear reason why Ash and Abhishek both will not be able to attend this year's IIFA at Colombo. According to Ash's official spokesperson, "Ash had confirmed her presence at the finals of the French Open Tennis Championships in advance. Her watch brand is the official time keeper of the Roland Garros event and as such, Ash is required to make an appearance."
And as for Abhishek, he will be shooting for Abhinay Deo's Game in Istanbul. Abhishek has been traveling for some time now. After a short schedule in Greece for the same film, AB flew to Cannes for the annual film festival and is now headed for Istanbul.
Although there will be speculations about the absence of the junior Bachchan pair, given the fact that Shah Rukh and Salman Khan will be present, there is nothing but official commitments that are keeping the duo from this event.

The lead pair Sonam Kapoor and Imran Khan are totally in awe of the beauty and cuisine of Queenstown in New Zealand.
The young heartthrobs enjoyed a number of adventure sports and several mouth-watering delicacies while shooting in the resort town.
"Queenstown is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The landscape is spectacular and very diverse. The scenery changes from steep mountains and lakes to green fields and river canyons. Also, the food is awesome," Sonam said.
Imran, who is more into adventure sports, said, "The big thing to do here is adventure sports - bungee jumping, white water rafting, skydiving, mountain biking... the list is endless."

In the film, Lautner plays Jacob Black and he is supposed to hate vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson).

'Every time we'd have a shouting match or he'd grab me on the shoulder or something, as soon as they called cut, we'd bust out laughing. Or we'd ruin plenty of takes,' he added

Have You Ever Thought About Working Online?
Tanya Davis of Bangkok, 40 never thought she would have a job working at home until one day she filled out a simple form online. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while staying at home with her two children.
I read Tanya's blog last month and decided to feature her story in our local job report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. "I actually make about $5,000-$7,000 a month working with large companies online. It is enough toWorking with large online companies using the Online Home Income Kit has been a financial windfall for Tanya, who struggled for months to find a decent job during the struggling economy. "I lost my job shortly after the recession hit, I needed reliable income and I wasn't interested in the "get rich quick" scams you see all over the internet. Those are all pyramid scams or stuff where you have to sell to your friends and family. I just needed a legitimate way to earn a living for me and my family. The best part of working online is that I am always home with the kids and I save a lot of money."
I asked her about how she started her remarkable journey. "It was pretty easy, I filled out a short form and applied for work with the Online Home Income Team. There is a small shipping and handling fee to pay for the Australia Post, its not really free but it was under $10. I got the Kit and within four weeks I was making over $5,000 a month. It's really simple, I am not a computer whiz, but I can use the internet. I don't even have to sell anything and nobody has to buy anything. They are constantly recruiting people to do this, you should try it."
Working with online giants, collectively worth over 100 billion dollars, has provided stability in a stressful and competitive work at home marketplace. The Online Home Income Kit specializes in teaching beginners how to harness the power of these large corporations; using software, coaching and intimate ties with these massive companies that need work at home workers. It is widely regarded as the #1 internet site in the world for those wishing to work at home using the internet to make between $5,000-8,000 a month. It's a successful company with a proven track record that has been helping people work at home for over 10 years. Through our research, we've found that many people value the opportunity to work with large established companies, and this is considered to be the best of the best.
To be sure, there are plenty of scams on the internet claiming you can make $50,000 a month, but that is exactly what they are scams. From my conversation with Tanya, "I am making a good salary from home, which is amazing, because under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank god every day that I filled out that form."
Quickly, Tanya Davis was able to use the simple Online Home Income Kit to make it out of the recession. Tanya allowed us to verify her earnings, and show us one of her recent checks. Tanya says, " Honestly, using these tools, anyone can do this."
