Saif
hospitalized for chest pains

| Saif
Ali Khan seems to have slight doses of bad luck going hand in hand
with his award winning roles. Last year he was operated upon for appendicitis
(after recognition for Parineeta) whereas this time he was rushed
to the hospital on Sunday after complaining of severe chest pains.
He had returned from South Africa that morning, spent the afternoon
rehearsing for the Stardust Awards and was heading towards the actual
event at the Bandra-Kurla Complex at the time. After being rushed
to the hospital, it was suspected that he had undergone a mild heart
attack. The hero was to receive an award for Omkara and totally unaware
of Khan's ailment, Director of Omkara, Vishal Bharadwaj, joked while
receiving the award for Saif saying, "Saif, I know you are always
late for shooting, but I didn't know you would be late for an award
function as well. Where are you?" Soon news of Saif's emergency
spread and several Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt,
who were present at the awards function, along with Fardeen Khan,

and Jackie Shroff hurried off to the hospital to visit him. After
observation in the ICU and an immediate angiography, it was revealed
that Saif had an irregular heartbeat but was out of danger. Sharmila
Tagore, his mother, spoke to the media saying that she believed he
had to stop smoking to avoid future emergencies. "Saif's father
has chest pain and his grandfather too suffered from it," she
said. "I hope Saif understands the repercussions and takes care
now." She added that Saif should not exert so much around his
now burgeoning career. With his popularity graph on the constant rise
that may be tough, but we do hope Saif recovers back to great health
to continue the great work he has been doing. |

| Shilpa
sure is going places |
| |
|
We wouldn't be surprised
if Shilpa is offered a British nationality and shifts to England.
Her fanfare following the Celebrity Big Brother brouhaha is still
on the rise and the amount of interest she's generated in the past
month supercedes anything she's ever done in Bollywood. Picture
this: Shilpa has been offered to play the lead role of Roxie Hart
in the West End musical Chicago and the producers say they are desperate
to engage her despite the fact that she cannot sing. She hasn't
taken a decision on the matter yet but Shilpa has been taking singing
lessons with lead singer-song-writer Jamie Peace, a finalist in
the prestigious International Song-writing Competition in the United
States for his track 'More Than Enough'. Shilpa, has been jetsetting
between London and Mumbai: she participated in a Zee Carnival at
Olympia, left for Mumbai on Wednesday night and will return on March
11 to attend Commonwealth Day. There's more. Apparently Princes
William and Harry were so impressed with the way she handled things
on CBB that they have invited her to attend the Princess Diana Memorial
|
 |
| Concert
to be held at Wembley on July 1. She will sit amongst a star studded
audience as one of the guests of honour. If that leaves you gaping,
then know that Shilpa is also being lined up to become the first ever
face on the new Indian version of the fashion magazine, Vogue. So
winning Celebrity Big Brother may not be able to revive her filmi
career in Bollywood but it seems that Shilpa has better things chalked
out for herself. |

| Is
Brangelina in trouble? |
| |
| The
move to New Orleans and the death of Angelina's mother last month
(after fighting a battle with ovarian cancer) has proved too much
for the beautiful young actor. Reportedly she has become very reclusive,
has stopped eating and is also having trouble with her relationship
with Brad. Since he has never faced a personal crisis like this, he
is reportedly feeling very "shut out" and is unsure about
how to handle the situation "though he is trying" quote
insiders. Angelina's grief has deepened since moving to New Orleans
with her partner Brad Pitt and their three children, Maddox, Zahara
and Shiloh. A source told Us Weekly magazine: "She isn't eating.
She is very lonely and desperate to make new friends." Amidst
this turbulent patch in her life, Angelina and Brad have applied for
adoption in Vietnam. If approved, this baby will be the fourth addition
to their family and experts believe that the best thing Angelina can
do for herself during this trying time is focus on her family. "Children
can be such a great source of life and happiness," says psychologist
Dr. Irene Kassorla. "Her mother is gone but her memories are
not, and nor is the love in Angelina's heart, and this can be enjoyed
and shared with her children." |
