Amir Khan suggests Salman, Katrina to marry

The Khans of Bollywood are often pitted against each other. But, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have chosen to keep their equation different and are good friends. And, like every friend who wishes the best for their closed ones, the Dhoom:3 actor too wishes that Sallu should tie the knot soon and settle down.

Aamir expressed his concern about his single friend and told the gathered media, “I have been telling him (Salman) for so long to get married but he is not listening to me. Maybe if someone else (looking at Katrina) requests him, he may agree to it. I want to see Katrina and Salman together in real life.” That’s not all. He looked at Katrina Kaif and asked, “Have you ever asked him?” This got his heroine red faced.

Mr. Perfectionist that he is, he wanted an answer and repeated his question until he got a response from Katrina on her ex, “I am speechless. I am sorry.” We wonder what Kat’s current beau Ranbir Kapoor has to say to this, may be AK can ask him this question too.

Sallu and Kat were in a serious relationship, which ended in 2010. However, the two still remain friends. The Dabangg dude had once said, “We were friends, are friends and Katrina and I will always be friends.

” We understand that they are still good friends but that’s not what Aamir meant when he said he wants to see the duo ‘together’, did he? Has Salman expressed his innermost feelings to Aamir? Is Aamir playing Sallu’s messenger? Hmmm… We wonder why Aamir would talk about Salman’s marriage to his ex-girlfriend and was he serious when he asked Kat and Sallu to be together in real life.

Looks like Aamir was proposing the babe on his friend’s behalf, hai na? Or is this just another of the marketing genius’ ways to grab headlines for his film’s promotions.

Selena Gomez At The Staples Center

Last night, the Staples Center traded in their usual Gold and Purple color scheme for black and pink Selena Gomez apparel that appeared at every corner, worn by hundreds of screaming girls with their screaming mothers not too far behind them.Gomez graced us with her presence last night, with an outstanding performance of her “Stars Dance” tour at the Staple Center.
Before the pop star hit the stage she welcomed you tube singing sensation Christina Grimmie. Grimmie has millions of hits on her popular covers of songs by Miley Cyrus, Nelly, Katy Perry, and Gotye just to name a few. Grimme’s set included her songs, "Absolutely Final Good Bye" and "Tell My Mama."
After the rising star finished her set, another talented group of fresh new faces approached the stage. These three guys that made up the band Emblem3 had the girls in the crowd screaming, as they opened with their song "Girl Next Door." The band, who made their name known through "The X Factor," released their debut album, "Nothing to Lose," in summer 2013. Emblem3 closed their set with the album’s hit song "Chloe (You’re the One I Want)."
The lights dimmed and the LCD screen towering over the performance stage taunted the audience who anxiously waited for Gomez to appear. When Gomez’s face appeared on the LCD screen the crowd went nuts. “I love you Selena,” “You are so beautiful,” and “Oh My Gosh,” phrases were over powered by screams so loud, they prevented you from hearing yourself speak.
Gomez appeared on the LCD screen in a empty black space with white doors surrounding her. With a confused look on her face trying to decide which door to pick, she moved towards a door and enters it.
Gomez hit the stage with enough energy to power the room,  performing her song "Bang Bang Bang." The singer, dressed in a white, joined her dancers, to give a power packed opening number. The set changed up to a reggaeton look. Green, red, and yellow lights filled the arena while Gomez performed "Round and Round."
The show was full of surprises, that really exhibited Gomez’s grown up sexier side. Still in white, the stage lights shifted to a blue and white twilight scheme. All spot lights down on Gomez she starts to rap: “I’ve been up all night, tryna get that rich, I’ve been work work work work working on my,” raps Gomez as she performs "B.E.A.T." where she sampled Iggy Azealea’s "Work."
The sample from T.I’s Australian prodigy gave the older crowd in the audience a taste of her more adult image. We saw multiple glimpses of that side throughout the show. Including her song "Birthday," where she sampled Rihanna’s "Birthday Cake." Gomez also covered artists including Katy Perry and Priscilla Ahn.
The LCD displayed Gomez in a black space with white doors, when Gomez selected another door that took her through a Wonderland like space where there was a gift for her. When she pulled the sheer pink ribbon to open the white box, there was a microphone bedazzled in pink and silver rhinestones with “Selena” going down the handle.
The arena hit a somber moment when Gomez appeared on the stage with a long black gown performing "Love Will Remember." Everyone tuned on their cellphone’s flashlights and waved them in the air along to the music, making the arena twinkle while she performed the song about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber.
Energy was pumped back into the crowd while Gomez preformed her hit "Naturally." The full band came out on to the stage, while Gomez ran up the runway to shake hands with fans. Her dancers joined her for the performance. There was no indication that Gomez had played 40 shows previous to coming to L.A. because she was so energetic. 
The last two songs in the performance were a show in itself. Gomez chose a door that led her to a thunderstorm. The arena was then transformed to a Bollywood feel as Gomez performed "Come and Get It." Everyone in the stadium regardless of gender or age sang along to the hit song.
Gomez saved "Slow Down" for the show’s final song. The current radio hit kept up the crowd's energy. The music video of the song played in the background as Gomez performed live on the stage with her dancers. Pink streamers exploded from the stage while silver and gold confetti fell from the ceiling making the whole audience sparkle.

Lady Gaga fights to keep 'Queen of Pop' crown

Multi-platinum selling diva Lady Gaga is fighting to keep her 'Queen of Pop' crown with a hotly-anticipated third album, but early reception in the US and Britain has been lukewarm.

"Artpop" signals a return to the limelight for Stefani Germanotta -- known as Lady Gaga on stage and in video -- after she was forced to tone down her usually ubiquitous media presence to undergo hip surgery.
"For ArtPop, in a symbolic way, I've put myself in front of a mirror, I've taken off my clothes, then the makeup, then the wigs, I've dressed myself with a black jumpsuit and I've told myself: 'Now, you have to prove you can be brilliant without all that'", Lady Gaga told the magazine Grazia.
Even before its official release next week, "Artpop" has been making the headlines.
The 27-year-old New Yorker, who established her reputation on chart-topping songs and surrounded herself with a constant media buzz, streamed the new album this week after it was leaked.
The artist also hinted at an out-of-this-world publicity splash for the album's official launch -- a concert in space.
The US Weekly magazine reported that Lady Gaga plans to undergo a month of special vocal training to perform in early 2015 aboard the Virgin Galactic, the passenger spaceplane being launched by British billionaire Richard Branson to popularise space tourism.
While the third album suggest Lady Gaga's increasing artistic ambitions, critics in Britain and the US are not so convinced.
"The intention of the album was to put art culture into pop music, a reverse of Warhol. Instead of putting pop onto the canvas, we wanted to put the art onto the soup can," Lady Gaga said in an interview in Britain's Daily Mail.

Lady Gaga has collaborated with a number of world famous contemporary artists, including Jeff Koons for the album's artwork, showing her as a post-modern Botticellian Venus.
But on a first hearing "Artpop" returns to familiar themes -- desire, drugs, identity, celebrity, fashion, creativity -- and sounds more like Lady Gaga's previous albums "The Fame" and "Born this way" than it does a totally new musical experiment.
"There's certainly some decent pop on Lady Gaga's new album -- but the 'art' part is rather harder to discern", said the British newspaper The Guardian.
The verdict was echoed across the Atlantic.
"Lady Gaga's latest extravagant exploration of her own fame, fabulousness and fearlessness is undeniably relentless, but that doesn't mean it's consistently entertaining," said USA Today.

Veena Malik And Sheikh Rasheed

Famous actress Veena Malik has called on Pakistani politician Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad not to issue any statements against her or she reserves the rights to reply in equal measure.During an interaction with Pakistani media in London the actress, who shot to fame through Geo’s programme
Hum Sub Umeed Say Hain, said she stood by her statement that the Rawalpindi politician, who heads Awami Muslim League, had called her and requested for a meeting over tea.

“I was naïve at that time, I didn’t know who he was when admired me but I refused to entertain his request. He is furious because I rejected him. He told me that he had seen me on Hum Sub Umeed say Hain and liked my work. I was maybe unpleasant to him. He shouldn’t be but his fury is understandable because he had always been anti women, he was anti Benazair Bhutto and he is also anti Veena Malik. It will be only good for him if he stops and doesn’t define patriotism for others.”
The actress, who has raised the temperature high with her controversial performances, said it was sad that the so-called patriots in Pakistan had taken upon themselves to define morality and patriotism. She rejected such elements and said that Pakistani was a multi-cultural and multidimensional society and it’s impossible to define the country in simple terms.
“Pakistan has both the burka and jeans wearing sides and both are right to do whatever they want to do with their lives. My father was an army officer who loved Pakistan and served it. I love Pakistan and have the blood of a military officer in my veins. I carry Pakistani passport and will always be proud of it. I am hero to some people in Pakistan and villain to others and I accept that,” she said.
On being asked why she is a controversial figure and whether she creates controversies to remain in the limelight, Veena Malik said, “I have always been media's darling, I love it for being the first choice of media. Magazines love to put me on glossy covers. Television wants me there. I have a strong relationship with media everywhere.”
Veena Malik became thoughtful when asked about her return to Pakistan. She has not set foot in the country in a long time and faces threats from extremist group. “There is not a single moment when I don’t miss Pakistan. I love my country, its people and its culture and I do want to come back. I will soon be back but I cannot tell when.”
She also announced that she would soon be going to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. “I have a deep spiritual side. People have only seen me as a showbiz personality but I observe my religion although I do believe that religion is a matter between the individual and Creator. I very much look forward to take this spiritual journey.”
She said that heroes from every walk of life in Pakistan were leaving this world. “Pakistan needs a new breed of heroes, we have very few left. Instead of attacking them we need to create heroes. I want to be treated like a hero in Pakistan, like an artist with an aesthetic side.”
