Chyna wore a sleeveless, skintight, semi-sheer cutout red jumpsuit, paired with matching stiletto sandals, while Rob sported a black T-shirt, matching drawstring pants, black patterned Nikes and a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap. She celebrated a female friend’s birthday inside the club and posted photos on her Instagram page.
According to an onlooker, Rob was hardly paying attention to the strippers and was focused only on Blac.
The couple flew to Atlanta earlier on Friday and documented their journey and club appearance on their Snapchats.
Rob also posted photos of Blac Chyna at their hotel room after their strip club date.
Just one day earlier, the lovebirds joked about having kids in a Snapchat video Chyna shared with fans.
“Rob, I am not playing with you. I want my eggs cracked! That means I wanna have a baby!” the makeup artist said in the clip. “I need my name dropped. That means I wanna be married! I am not f—king around with you!”
The two stepped out as a couple in January and have since posted a slew of couple’s pics and videos on Snapchat. And based on his latest move, the two appear to be getting closer than ever.

The Life Is A Rollercoaster singer was delighted to have Sheeran perform at his wedding to Storm Uechtritz last year and, after jamming with the star during the party, Keating says he would love to do something more formal, like a duet, reports a website.
“Maybe down the round we could do a song together. We jammed the night of the wedding, we all got up on stage together and we were singing and it was wonderful. When we were on stage the atmosphere was just wonderful,” Keating told a magazine.
Despite his own years of experience in the music industry, Keating thinks he can learn a lot from Sheeran.
“He’s a hell of an artist, simply incredible. You think you know it all after 22 years of doing it and then a talent like Ed comes along and sells out three nights at Wembley Stadium with just a guitar and some foot pedals,” the singer added.

Emily Blunt 'not so keen' on nude scenes post motherhood

Los Angeles: Actress Emily Blunt says after becoming a mother she is less inclined to strip down for the camera.

Emily Blunt
Becoming a mother has affected the 33-year-old "Into the Woods" star's choice of roles and she would prefer staying way from racists or violent characters, reported People magazine.
"Too racy would be one thing I wouldn't go for now. I'm not so keen on doing nudity, because I'm not 22 any more. And actually it's not so much a moral thing as, 'I've done it before and do I really want to do it again?' Does it serve the film or is it gratuitous...For the sake of it? Because I don't think it's necessary most of the time. Also playing violent or racist characters would be hard for me now," Blunt said.
The "The Huntsman: Winter's War" actress, who is already a mother to two-year-old daughter Hazel, is pregnant with her second child and for her juggling professional and personal life is not an easy task.
"Although life is a juggle and I have to spend a few days away from Hazel here and there, when I'm not working I'm with her all the time. "I do think it will get harder to leave her as she gets older, but a friend once gave me a good piece of advice. Instead of saying, 'Mummy has to go, say, 'Mummy has to go, but I love what I do. I just love it!'," she said.

The 43-year-old actor, who was here to launch the first 4DX theatre of North India at PVR Superplex, Logix City Centre, said the movie going experience in our country was far better than in the West.
"I have travelled the world and have had cinema experience of a lot of places. But, when it comes to India the experience is quite superior. It is special because you get pampered when you come to a hall.
"We are not just talking about a film experience here, it is more of a family experience when you go and watch a movie," he told reporters.
The 4DX theatre launched by the action star stimulates to all five senses through motion seats and special effects including wind, fog, lightning, bubbles, water, rain and scents in both 2D and 3D.
The actor said that he would love to watch his latest action packed thriller "Rocky Handsome" in this format.

The duo, who inaugurated the Gold class section of the theatre, thanked the cinema chain for revolutionising film viewing experience in the country.
"PVR have been a pioneer in the way they have changed the movie watching experience. I never imagined having Sushi while watching movie in a cinema hall. They are as much part of evolution of Indian film industry as anyone else," Arjun said.
PVR Superplex will offer host of international formats including IMAX, 4DX, Atmos, Gold class and playhouse, which is specially designed for kids.
Also present at the occasion were Ajay Bijli, CMD, PVR Ltd, Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Joint MD, PVR Ltd and Shakti Nath, CMD Logix Group.

Patralekha: Did not get many offers after 'CityLights'

Patralekha received immense critical acclaim for her debut film "CityLights" but the actress says much to her surprise, there were not many good roles that came her way.
Patralekha

The actress starred in the 2014 Hansal Mehta directed drama-thriller, which also featured her boyfriend actor Rajkummar Rao.
Patralekha essayed the role of a mother of five-year-old girl in the film, which was a remake of the British movie "Metro Manila".
"Once 'CityLights' was out, the film got a lot of acclaim and it did amazing as well. I thought I'll get lots of offers but I didn't. Couple of offers were of mother's role which I didn't want to play. I was 24 then and I did it because I just wanted to act," Patralekha told PTI.
The actress, now 26-year-old, did not know if there is "ripple effect" of starting out playing a certain character and wanted to do something "impactful" after her debut.
"I don't know if you get typecast or what is the ripple effect of a character you have portrayed. For six to seven months I didn't get any good offers. It's not like I didn't get any offer, I did. After 'CityLights', I thought I should do something more impactful."
Patralekha will be next seen in the erotic-thriller "Love Games". The actress met the film's director Vikram Bhatt who asked her to get some glamorous pictures clicked, so as to break away from the image of a rural girl from her previous movie.
Patralekha instantly came on board for the film which features her in a bold role as a high society woman named, Ramona, but the actress had no qualms essaying the character, which she says, is a sign of changing times.
"There was no apprehension as Ramona was just another character for me. Somebody had told me why are you doing this, Indian men only love to see women who are virgins on screen. That's the thinking I don't belong to. We are women, we are empowered and independent. There is a new India emerging today and people should wake up and see it."
She said the audience today needs to accept that there are certain issues which exist in the society and not shy away from them.
"Love Games" is scheduled to release on April 8.

Mika told IANS: "Today's period is the golden era for all the singers. It's a great phase wherein everybody is getting a chance to prove themselves. Earlier, there were hardly five to six singers and the other singers were jobless."
"Today, there are so many singers. It's such a great change. Every one has their own set of fans."
Mika, known for songs like "Mauja hi mauja", "Aaj ki party", "Jumme ki raat" and "Gandi baat", also feels the exposure for singers has increased nowadays.
He said: "The audience is very aware these days. They are not concerned about how I am in my personal life... As long as I deliver good work, they are happy. The exposure has also increased over the years for singers as they can just record a song and put it on YouTube."

After “Fukrey”, “Bobby Jasoos” and “Khamoshiyan”, Ali will now be part of romantic-comedy "Happy Bhaag Jayegi".
Asked about trying his hand at comedy, Ali told IANS: “I love comedy. It is my favourite genre. I think I have unfortunately come to be known as some brooding actor, but I love comedy. It is the essence of Bollywood, anyway.”
"Happy Bhaag Jayegi" also marks Abhay Deol's comeback to the big screen after the 2014 release "One by Two", and model-turned-actress Diana Penty's second film post her debut with 2012 film "Cocktail".

Big B, Varun Dhawan, other B-Town stars bowled over by 'Ki & Ka'

R. Balki's idea of role reversal to question age-old stereotypical notions about gender, with marriage as the canvas through "Ki & Ka", has bowled over stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan.


The celebrities have appreciated the film and the filmmaker for taking on an issue like gender differences in a fun and zingy manner.
"Ki & Ka" aims to dispel gender disparity with its story wherein Arjun Kapoor essays a house husband and Kareena Kapoor Khan is seen as an ambitious, career-oriented woman. The film, slated to release on April 1, has a cameo by Amitabh and his wife Jaya.
Here's what the stars tweeted to appreciate the film's concept:
Amitabh Bachchan: 'Ki & Ka' watched... Bold of Balki to say what is generally believed to have been said behind closed doors!
Karan Johar: Super chemistry between Arjun Kapoor and Kareena in 'Ki & Ka'. New story, new take and zingy narrative make it a must watch!
Varun Dhawan: Just watched 'Ki & Ka'. Great concept and well executed by Balki. Arjun Kapoor and Kareena are the perfect kiandka.
Ayushmann Khurrana: 'Ki & Ka' is fab! Arjun Kapoor is so graceful and beautiful. Kareena is so suave and alpha. Watch this one for the much needed role reversal
Aditi Rao Hydari: A need of the hour 'Ki & Ka'... And role reversals as effortless as breathing! Loved Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor..Can the ka's line up please!
Athiya Shetty: Loved 'Ki & Ka'! Endearing, funny, emotional and such amazing performances by Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor! Uff, they look too good together!
Punit Malhotra: Watched 'Ki & Ka'. A film that questions the fundamentals our entire society is built on! Loved the super confident Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor
Nikkhil Advani: A fun take on gender differences and role reversal. Balki has a lot of fun while treating everyone to his 'Ki & Ka'.

Athiya Shetty: Great time to be part of Bollywood

Actress Athiya Shetty feels it is a great time to be a part of Bollywood with meaningful roles being written for women, adding that girls are “making a mark not only on screen but off screen as well".

Asked whether there is a dearth of meaty roles for female stars, Athiya, who stepped into showbiz with Salman Khan's production "Hero" last year, said: "No, I think that is changing".
"People like Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Vidya Balan and Deepika Padukone have made this concrete change happen. So, I think it is a great time to be in the Hindi film industry right now because there are roles for women and women are definitely making a mark not only in terms of being on screen but off screen as well," Athiya told IANS.
The daughter of actor Suniel Shetty hailed the increasing girl power behind the cameras.
She said: "We have Zoya Akhtar, we have so many women who are so talented and I don't feel like there is a dearth anymore."
What about her next project?
"I am going to be signing something. As soon as I sign I am sure you guys will know."
Athiya, who is the brand ambassador of Maybelline New York, has carved a name for herself in tinsel town for her acting skills as well as fashion quotient. She turned muse for designer Namrata Joshipura for the beauty brand's show at the recently concluded Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW) Autumn-Winter 2016 here.

Nargis Fakhri: Skill, hard work more important than notoriety

For Nargis Fakhri, there is no shortcut to success or fame. At a time when infamy has become a part of showbiz, the actress says she still believes in the "romantic notion that skill and hard work is more important than notoriety".
Nargis Fakhri
Nargis Fakhri
Asked about whether Hindi film industry tends to give extra attention to actors who have worked in a Hollywood film or garnered acclaim in the international circuit, Nargis said that the statement "doesn't ring true" for her.
"Well, I came here with no background or Hollywood credits so that certainly doesn't ring true for me. I think that occasionally, fame and popularity can garner more attention for individuals or films.
But as a person who believes in my craft, I like the romantic notion that skill and hard work is more important than notoriety," Nargis told IANS in an email interaction.
"As a money focussed industry, which of course Bollywood is, I also appreciate that there is a balance and we're all part of that," she added.
Nargis took the first step towards the world of glamour with modelling in 2005. After "Rockstar", she did films on a wide variety of topics ranging from serious to fun like "Main Tera Hero" and "Madras Cafe". And for her first Hollywood outing was “Spy”, an action-comedy film.
Over the past few years, names like Irrfan Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Anupam Kher have gone to foreign shores and are breaking stereotypical notions around Indians with their roles.
Nargis, who was born to multi-cultural parents in New York, said that the “progress to breakdown stereotypes always starts with one person”.
"I'm so proud of Priyanka to be a shining example of the talent and merit of Bollywood ... Stereotyping of any race or culture is narrow minded and I can't wait to help break the shackles,” she said, referring to Priyanka's lead role in American TV show "Quantico".
Meanwhile, on the Indian silver screen, Nargis will be seen with Ritiesh Deshmukh in "Banjo", and in "Housefull 3" as well.

Sukhwinder Singh: Arrogance in music is damaging

A tête-à-tête with singer Sukhwinder Singh
Q. You have been in the industry for long. What has kept you going?

A. This is a dog-eat-dog industry, but talent is something that nobody can ignore. Talent goes for a toss the day you think that you know everything. There is always something new to learn and also something old that can be improved upon. Arrogance in music is damaging. I don’t take tension and pay attention to my riyaaz. Music for me is not a profession, but my passion. Professionally you may get tired of doing the same thing. However, passion never dies; instead it increases with time, redefining the involvement and commitment. When I sing, I get involved with the song and its music. I flirt and romance with the song. I consider music as my mehbooba. Romance for me is style and beauty. It is fun and pure and makes me happy and creative. In fact, I am a romantic flirt.
Sukhwinder Singh

Sukhwinder Singh
Q. Since you are a singer who specialises in romantic tracks, you mostly get approached for situational songs.

A. So what if it is situational? A song is a song. My last film was Jai Gangaajal with a situational song and I got calls from fans saying that the song remained in their heads even after they left the cinema hall. Even a situational song has a lot of interesting elements in it. Chak De and Jai Ho were all situational songs.
Q. Which forthcoming films and their music can we look forward to?

A. I have sung four songs in the upcoming film, Rangoon. The songs are fantastic. The standard of the Hindi film industry, established by A R Rahman in the international market, will be taken way ahead through Vishal Bhardwaj’s songs in Rangoon. I have sung in the opera style like I did in Haider. I have also sung in the Salman Khan-starrer Sultan and a celebratory song in Sarbjit. I must also mention Pranam’s music. The film’s music director, Vishal Mishra, is a passionate composer. Then there are two films of Mahesh Manjrekar.
Q. Do you sing a song keeping the actor in mind?

A. Why would I do that? In a film even the actor is a character. So often, I don’t even know the name of the actor I am singing for. It is about the music and lyrics besides the narrative which is given.
Q. Your contemporaries are judging reality shows. Would you also consider it?

A. More than a judge, I would prefer to be a mentor on a music reality show. We have plenty of unexplored and untapped talent in our country. With little guidance, they can get the correct direction.

Preity Zinta to make a comeback in Bollywood opposite Sunny Deol

Preity Zinta returns to tinseltown with her long-in-the-making film opposite Sunny Deol
Preity Zinta will be back on the silver screen with her long-delayed project, 'Bhaiyyaji Superhit', which has Sunny Deol as her co-star. The action comedy which was put on the backburner for the past few years, is being revived with a shooting schedule slated for next month in Benares.

Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol

Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol
Says the film’s director Neeraj Pathak, “Preity has confirmed that she will start shooting for the film from April 15. She is slated to be back around April 7 ahead of the Indian Premier League matches that kick off on April 9.”
This will be the first time the actress will come to India post her hush hush wedding to US-based financial analyst Gene Goodenough in Los Angeles last month. 
Adds Pathak, “It will be a 40-day schedule in Benares. We will wrap up the film in this schedule.” Bhaiyyaji Superhit was announced in 2011 and after a shoot schedule in Rajasthan in 2013, it was riddled with production and monetary issues. This forced the project to be in cold storage.
Pathak further says, “Things have been sorted out. We now have a new producer, Chirag Dhariwal, on board. We will wrap up the shoot and release the film later this year.”
Sunny Deol’s spokesperson says, “The actor will start shooting for the film from April 15.”

The film also stars Arshad Warsi, Ameesha Patel, Shreyas Talpade. There was buzz in July 2015 that that the film is being revived, but things did not take off then.
Neeraj adds, “We have already shot 50 per cent of the film earlier. I have got the dates of the entire cast who are excited about working on it again.”
The first look of Sunny Deol from Bhaiyyaji Superhit that was released in 2012 courted controversy as it was said to be inspired by Hollywood star Johnny Depp’s photoshoot.

Preity was last seen in her production, 'Ishkq in Paris' (2013) besides a cameo in 'Happy Ending' (2014).

Pankaj Kapur feels time will do the talking for his children

Noted actor Pankaj Kapur says he refrains from talking about his children Shahid Kapoor and Sanah Kapoor in public as he believes “time will” be a testimony to “their abilities” as artistes and as people.

Shahid has already made a mark for himself in Bollywood with hits like “Jab We Met”, “Kaminey” and “Haider”, and Sanah entered showbiz last year with “Shaandaar”.
Even though “Shaandaar” turned out to be a dud, Sanah's performance was appreciated.
“I think she (Sanah Kapoor) is a very fine actor. I’m very proud of her. But I don't want to talk about it myself because it seems like I am trying to talk about my daughter. So about my elder son (Shahid) as well as younger son (Ishaan), I have always said one thing that let time prove it to the audiences and what are the abilities they have as actors and as people,” Pankaj told IANS.
Pankaj, who has explored various mediums for entertainment -- be it films, theatre or television, also feels Sanah has miles to go, and work to do to find a foothold in Bollywood.
He added: “I will say that she (Sanah) is a very fine actor, but it is just that the more she works, the more people will understand her ability.”
Pankaj shared his views with IANS after attending an event organised by detergent Ariel India on the topic 'Why is laundry only a mother's job?' in Mumbai earlier this month.

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals there are no plans to revive RK Films

It's been over 15 years since RK Films made any films and actress Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals as of now there are no plans of reviving the banner.


Time and again there have been rumours that RK Films, the banner established by the late filmmaker Raj Kapoor, will be revived.
"There are no plans of reviving the banner. We have not thought about it. My grandfather had made so many films and launched such a good established banner. We made some really good films but at the moment there is nothing happening," Kareena told PTI.
Kapoor established RK Films in 1948. The films made under the banner include "Aag", "Barsaat", "Awaara", "Boot Polish", "Jagte Raho", "Shri 420", "Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai", "Mera Naam Joker", "Bobby", "Satyam Shivam Sundaram", " Ram Teri Ganga Maili" and others.
When Kapoor died in 1988 in the middle of shooting "Henna", his son Randhir took over the studio.
Randhir Kapoor directed "Henna", "Dharam Karam", while Rajiv Kapoor helmed "Prem Granth" and Rishi Kapoor made "Aa Ab Laut Chalen" in 1999 which was the last film made under the banner.
The Kapoor family has presided over show business across four generations from Prithviraj Kapoor to Raj Kapoor to his three sons -- Randhir, Rishi and Rajiv -- to Karisma, Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor.
"I am a great mix of both my parents (Randhir Kapoor and Babita). I am little bit like my sister (Karisma). I am a true blue Kapoor by heart when it comes to my emotions, physicality, my comic timing, approach, zest and energy towards life," Kareena, 35, said.
"I love food and life. I am a positive girl. I am an amalgamation of everyone in my family," she said.
Kareena entered filmdom in 2000 with J P Dutta's "Refugee". It's been almost 16 years and the "Jab We Met" actress has entertained the audiences through films like "Aitraaz", "Chameli", "Dev", "Golmaal" series, "3 Idiots", "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" and others.
"I don't think there is any worst part of being in the industry today. I am an industry child, I have grown up here and I love films. For me this (films) is my home," she adds.
The actress is excited about her next release "Ki and Ka" opposite Arjun Kapoor. The R Balki directed film releases on April 1.

Look what Pankaj thinks about daughter-in-law Mira?

There have been speculations about Mira Rajput gearing up for her Bollywood debut since she got married to actor Shahid Kapoor. And Shahid's father and noted actor Pankaj Kapur says he will "support" her choice regardless of what she opts for.

"It is her life. She can do what she wants to do. Why should I have anything to do with that? It is between her and her husband. She is a child to me. Why would I have any objections? For me, she can do what she wants to do and I am there to support," Pankaj told IANS.

Shahid got married to Mira in a closely guarded affair in Delhi last year. Since then speculations are rife about her venturing into Bollywood. In fact, Shahid's spokesperson had to refute reports that Mira will do a cameo in film 'AK vs SK' in September.

Pankaj also confessed that the mention of the word "daughter-in-law" makes him uncomfortable.



The 'Shaandaar' star added: "My children can do what they want to do. When it comes to this whole category of daughter-in-law, I get a little uncomfortable as I treat her like my daughter."

Pankaj, who has explored various mediums for entertainment -- be it films, theatre or television -- shared his views with IANS after attending an event organised by detergent Ariel India on the topic 'Why is laundry only a mother's job?' in Mumbai.

Why did Sidharth skip Holi celebration event?


Why did Sidharth skip Holi celebration event?

Apparently, Sidharth Malhotra could not make it for a Holi celebration event citing poor health.

Sidharth Malhotra was apparently supposed to be part of the Holi celebrations at a studio on Thursday but the actor did not turn up. Reason? He apparently wasn't feeling well.

Says a source, "The event was organised at Kamalistan studio, where some well-known singers were performing for Holi. Sidharth was the chief guest and the invitation cards were also sold out with his name on it. However, much to the audience's disappointment they did not get a chance to meet the star as promised by the orgainsers.

Some of them even chose to leave the venue as soon as they got to know that he will not be coming for the celebrations."



It is said that the actor informed the organisers about his unavailability at the last minute. Another source says, "The event had started and the team was waiting for Sidharth to arrive, but he told them that he was feeling unwell and won't be able to make it. Since this information came in very late they could not make any other arrangements and had to carry on with the event without him."

However, the very next day the actor was spotted at a press meet for the success of his recently released film Kapoor and Sons.

Sidharth's spokesperson denied the buzz.
