Aaradhya Bachchan's face revealed!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's little bundle of joy Aaradhya was captured by E24's (channel) lensman recently. Beti B is seen looking into the camera with curious eyes. And yes, we agree with the fan who met Aaradhya recently - she's got beautiful eyes.
Jaya Bachchan recently revealed some interesting nuggets of information about the juniormost member of Bachchan clan: "Aaradhya looks like a bit of Aishwarya and a bit of Abhishek," the doting grandmom had told BBC.
Jaya also praised Ash's mommy skills: "Aishwarya is a hands on mom. She is sometimes overcautious. Aaradhya is not intimidated to faces. She is beautiful. I call her Strawberry because when she was born she reminded me of a strawberry. She is always smiling. Touchwood. Now she's trying to crawl and it's special to us."
"Sometimes I tease Aishwarya and I say well Aaradhya is a very lucky girl because can you imagine having a nurse like Miss World Aishwarya! I would also like her(Ash) to start going out but she is absolutely, totally hands down and doesn't depend on anybody which I think is great." she added.
Salman, Katrina in Ek Tha Tiger: First Trailer
The 'injured' Tiger, aka Salman Khan, is sitting next to his senior, who's advising him not to kill anybody this time around. He says, "Tum jis mission pe jaate ho, koi na koi maara jaata hai. Tiger is mission mein tumhe sirf observe karna hai. Please yahan kisi ko maar mat dena." (You killsomebody or the other when you embark on a mission. Tiger, you have to just observe keenly in this mission. Please don't kill anyone)
The attitude of out Agent Tiger is clear from this opening shot - he's injured, he's angry and he wants to kill.
The fight sequences in the trailer look crisp and refreshing.
And then enters Katrina Kaif like a fresh breath of air. That's how they introduce themselves to each other:
Katrina: Hi, I'm Zoya, friends call me Zee
Salman: I'm Manish, friends call me Doordarshan
Katrina: Bahut kharaab joke tha (That was a bad joke)
The romance takes off, but there's a twist. Apparently, Salman, the jasoos is wooing Katrina just for his mission.

Twitter's expanded tweets now include videos and pictures
Twitter added on Wednesday to the array of online content people could preview in messages without having to click on links included in tweets.
People who access the one-to-many text messaging service online at twitter.com or mobile.twitter.com were provided more opportunities to "expand tweets" with looks at pictures, videos, news article headlines or other content.
"You've probably expanded tweets before to play videos from YouTube or see photos from Instagram," Twitter product team director Michael Sippey said in a blog post.
"Now, a diverse and growing group of new partners like the The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC's Breaking News, and TIME also deliver rich content inside tweets containing a link to those websites."
Expanded links to articles posted in participating publications such as Der Spiegel or the San Francisco Chronicle will show headlines and story introductions, and sometimes the Twitter accounts of the writers or publishers.
Previews will also be available for links to video from Twitter partners such as Lifetime television network and French video-sharing website Dailymotion, according to Sippey.
Twitter said expanded tweets available at the service through Web browsers would be "coming soon" to its applications for iPhones and Android-powered smartphones.
Eliminating the need for Twitter users to navigate away to other websites gives the San Francisco-based firm more opportunities to make revenue with "promoted tweets."

Digvijaya compares Modi to Ravan
After sympathising with Sanjay Joshi following his "forced" exit from BJP, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has likened Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi to demon king Ravan, asking him to shun vanity. "If you see Ravan, he had also a good track record of development, he had made (Sri) Lanka of gold. But what end he met with lot of pride and ego everybody knows," Digvijaya Singh said on a question of Modi being projected as 'Vikas Purush'.
"In the same way Modiji should somewhat understand these things," Singh told reporters at Ahmedabad airport on Tuesday night during a private visit.
"He should shun pride and ego and the picture for him will get clear," the Congress leader advised Modi.
To a question on Anna Hazare being called anti-national, Singh said he had seen the letter sent from the PMO to Anna and nowhere it has termed the veteran Gandhian an anti-national.
Singh had recently shown sympathy to former BJP general secretary Sanjay Joshi, who quit the party, allegedly at the behest of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi.
On June 9, Digvijay had said that Joshi was "framed" in the fake CD scandal.

IPL should be closed: Lalu Prasad Yadav
With the Indian Premier League hit by controversies, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday demanded that the tournament should be closed down.
"IPL should be closed," he told reporters outside Parliament House when asked to react on the spat between Shahrukh Khan and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials and other controversies surrounding the game.
On the Shahrukh Khan episode, he alleged that the policemen, who were present when the scuffle broke out between the Bollywood star and MCA officials, were working at the behest of certain political parties.
"All this was done in hatred," Yadav alleged.
The Mumbai Cricket Association banned Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan from entering the Wankhede Stadium for five years for misbehaving with its officials and violating its rules.
Ross getting back to form is good for us: Mahela Jayawardene
Delhi Daredevils may have suffered a drubbing at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore but Mahela Jayawardene felt the return to form of Ross Taylor was one of the positives that will hold the team in good stead in their upcoming IPL fixtures.
"Ross getting back to form is good for us ahead of the playoffs," Jayawardene said of the New Zealander, who struck a blazing half century at the Feroz Shah Kotla last night.
Jayawardene said the bowling options at his disposal were limited.
"It`s a small ground and our bowling options were limited. Maybe we could have executed some of our plans better," said Jayawardene, who led the side after regular skipper Virender Sehwag was indisposed.
The Sri Lankan was hopeful of getting the winning momentum back.
"We have been doing very well through the tournament and we want to continue the momentum in the coming matches."
He also had words of praise for Chris Gayle, whose unbeaten century laid the foundation for RCB`s convincing win.
"It`s a small ground and it was difficult for our bowlers but Chris attacked very well. You can`t take anything back from him," he said.

This IPL season has been good for me: Umesh Yadav
Delhi Daredevils` pacer Umesh Yadav said this IPL edition has been a "lot better" for him than the last season after his Man-of-the-Match performance helped the hosts register a five-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab and qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament.
"I also think that this is one of my best performances this season. My last IPL wasn`t that good but this season has been a lot better. I`ll continue my progress and try to come up with even better performance," said Umesh, who took three wickets to restrict Kings XI to a modest total of 136 for 8 on Tuesday night.
Delhi managed to reach the target with an over to spare and consolidate their position at the top of the table with 20 points.
Umesh said the team will not take the coming games lightly against the Royal Challengers Bangalore here on Thursday and Kings XI on May 19 at Dharamsala.
Delhi managed to reach the target with an over to spare and consolidate their position at the top of the table with 20 points.
Umesh said the team will not take the coming games lightly against the Royal Challengers Bangalore here on Thursday and Kings XI on May 19 at Dharamsala.
"We are not going to take our coming games lightly. We are going to give our best to win the remaining matches also," he said.
Chris Gayle`s devastating form has clearly been playing on the minds of the Delhi Daredevils` players as Umesh admitted that the explosive Jamaican`s early dismissal will be key to his team`s success against the RCB at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.
"Obviously before playing RCB, we will make our strategies and plans. We need to get him (Gayle) out early. Our plan would be to restrict their scoring and bowl them out as soon as possible," he said.
Talking about the Daredevils` present IPL season, Umesh said, "Last year due to some wrong combinations our team was not able to perform to its capability. With the addition of Mahela Jayawardene and Ross Taylor, our batting line-up looks solid. We will hope to continue to perform the same way as we are performing right now."
The Vidarbha pacer also said the pressure would be slightly less in the coming games with the team already assured of a play-off berth.
"Pressure would be slightly less but we will look for wins in remaining fixtures."
Asked about the Kotla strip, he said, "The pitch was good for both batsmen and bowlers. It wasn`t like it was helping the bowlers more. All we were thinking was to bowl in the right areas and that helped our team. Varun Aaron bowled well, overall it was a good outing for our fast bowlers."
New Zealand captain Ross Taylor`s form has been a cause of concern for Delhi Daredevils but Umesh said he would soon find his lost touch.
"It`s not necessary that if Ross is not at his best now, he would never hit his form. I feel in the coming matches he is going to come up with some crucial contribution for the team."
Don`t question integrity of my players: David Hussey
Refusing to be drawn into the furore surrounding a TV sting operation which claims to have exposed corruption in the IPL, Kings XI Punjab skipper David Hussey said he would be "very disappointed" if the media puts a question mark on the integrity of his players.
"Everyone in my team, everyone in Kings XI Punjab as a brand plays with utmost integrity and if any print or TV media tries to write differently or say something differently about my team, then I will be very disappointed. I can`t really comment on the sting," said Hussey at the post-match press conference after his team lost to Delhi Daredevils by 5 wickets in a crucial Indian Premier League match here on Tuesday night.
Five uncapped Indian cricket players were suspended with immediate effect pending an inquiry as the BCCI cracked the whip in the wake of the TV sting operation.
Mohnish Mishra (Pune Warriors), Shalabh Srivastava (Kings XI Punjab), T P Sudhindra (Deccan Chargers), Amit Yadav (Kings XI Punjab) and Abhinav Bali were suspended after a teleconference of top BCCI officials and members of the IPL Governing Council yesterday.
Two domestic first-class players, part of IPL teams, had been captured on camera agreeing to bowl no-balls and spot-fix matches. India TV`s sting operation also showed two other domestic players agreeing for a transfer to another team when offered a higher fee by the undercover reporters.
Srivastava has not played a match for Kings XI this IPL season while Mohnish played the solitary match for Warriors against Royal Challengers Bangalore this edition.
Sudhindra played three games for Chargers, conceding 136 runs and taking only one wicket, while Yadav has not got a game for Kings XI. Delhi all-rounder Bali is not part of the IPL but has played first-class cricket for Himachal Pradesh.
Talking about the match against Daredevils, Hussey blamed the batsmen for the defeat and said a total in the region of 160 would have been par for the course at the Kotla track.
"Probably, it was a wicket for 160 runs anyway and we bowled well to defend the total. Our batting really let the bowlers down again. Full credit to our bowlers once again, who fought hard and never gave in. They stretched the game till the last over," he said.
Punjab pacer Parvinder Awana came up with an incisive fast-bowling performance to rattle the Daredevils top order with his three quick strikes, which included the prized wickets of skipper Virender Sehwag and Ross Taylor, and Hussey said that particular spell brought his team back into the game.
"The spell by Awana was world-class today. He got three batsmen out quickly which very much changed the complexion of the game. The mistake we did was not giving him the fourth over straight to get Mahela (Jayawardene) out.
"That was a mistake by me there. Awana keeps competing with the opposition. Hopefully, he has a big future not just with the Indian cricket team but also with the Kings XI Punjab as well," he said.
The Australian did not blame the hectic schedule as a reason behind the loss. Prior to this clash, Kings XI played against Deccan Chargers at Mohali on Sunday and travelled straight to Delhi for their crunch game.
"We know how important it was to win against Delhi. We played in Mohali a couple of days back and then travelled straight to Delhi. It gets tiring but this can`t be an excuse for the defeat," he said.
"The guys are really pumped up. We have two more games left and if we win those matches, we might sneak in (playoffs)," he added.
I will strip for SRK: Poonam Pandey
Poonam Pandey is famous for stripping! This time the Kingfisher model has shown her interest in stripping for superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his IPL team, if the actor asks her to, reports Zee News. Since, SRK's IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders lost two consecutive matches recently, Poonam Pandey has offered to strip for their motivation.
The 20-year-old model spoke to a TV channel and said that if Shah Rukh asks her to strip she will definitely do it for him and for his team. She also said that if her stripping will help Shah Rukh’s team in winning cricket match then there is no harm in doing so, said Zee News.
The starlet-turned-actor has recently not only ridiculed Bollywood beauties for not having the perfect body to carry the two-piece outfit, she has also declared that they should take bikini lessons from her.
Poonam who loves to post bikini and 'without bikini' pics on Twitter is supremely confident of her body.

We`ll have to stop Gayle, de Villiers from scoring: Pollock
Keeping his cards close to the chest, Mumbai Indians` coach Shaun Pollock today said his team certainly has a plan for RCB`s batting line-up but hopes Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers do not fire against them in tomorrow`s encounter.
"We will be in trouble if we made our strategy against RCB public. Obviously, we have a strategy against RCB which we would like to keep within the four walls of the dressing room," Pollock told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
Mumbai Indians have a plan up their sleeves against Gayle and want to see his back early in the innings, Pollock said adding, "If we get him early it will be a big blow for RCB."
"We obviously realise he is very important player for the hosts. He has been making runs consistently. We also don`t want de Villiers to play well against us tomorrow," he said.
Mumbai Indians` inconsistency has been a concern for the team management but Pollock said all teams have been going through such phase because of the highly-competitive nature of the IPL this season. "Lot of teams have been beating each other. We have seen last-ball finishes too. This year`s IPL has been competitive," he said.
