Fan wants John to donate his sperms!

John Abraham has been apparently approached by a childless female fan to donate his sperms so that she can finally have a baby

Be it Bollywood or Hollywood, fanfare has no limit. John Abraham, who has been constantly receiving e-mails and letters at his house ever since he mentioned his belief in sperm donation, recently had quite an experience. The actor-producer is said to have received a strange request from a married woman, who apparently is having trouble conceiving a child.The only option left for her is artificial insemination. Now, the lady has requested John to donate his sperms for this cause. Being a hardcore fan, she claims she won’t take anyone else’s except the actor’s. According to the source, the woman genuinely respects the fact that John has spoken out about such a sensitive issue that encourages youngsters to come forward and help childless parents like her.Interestingly, Indian laws make it illegal to reveal the donor’s identity. But given the actor’s enthusiasm, a well-known fertility centre in Chandigarh has asked him to donate sperms. 

John says, “Why can’t we donate sperm? It’s a topic that needs to be addressed, as there are childless couples out there, who can do with our help.” 

Arjun Kapoor's Big Fat Secret

Not so long ago, an overweight Kapoor would lock himself up in a room full of his favourite film DVDs 

Cousins Sonam and Arjun Kapoor have faced with one common problem during their growing up years. Both were overweight, but they dealt with it their own way.

While Sonam drowned herself in fashion magazines quite early on, giving her the edge she has today, Arjun seems to have invested all his attention towards films.Apparently during his teenage years the actor wouldn’t bother going partying or play sports, but instead would lock himself up in a room full of dvds.Says a source, “We all have our own methods of dealing with our insecurities or weaknesses. Arjun found comfort in cinema. He wanted to watch and learn from as many different filmmakers as possible.It made him feel like he was using his time well. He would sit and watch films for hours together, trying to understand different kinds of cinema, apart from Bollywood films that he grew up watching.”

So much so that today he owns a collection of over 7, 500 dvds, all arranged neatly in alphabetical order in his room. Adds the source, “That stack contains everything from Hollywood to Bollywood         to foreign films to    documentaries.With Parineeti in his forthcoming filmIt’s like a film buff’s paradise in there. Even today, despite the fact that he’s been busy with his film, he tries to make sure he watches at least one film a day. It’s what keeps him going and he believes it’s the best way to judge his own work.”From fat to fitInterestingly it is also one of reasons that impressed his director Habib Faisal, as Arjun would effortlessly improvise during his scenes. Adds the source, “Watching films can influence you in a lot of ways and Arjun is trying to use those influences in his performance.” Well as long as he doesn’t advocate being a couch potato, we think this film buff’s going to go a long way.

Vindu Dara Singh hits out at Pooja Missra and Pooja Bedi

Actor Vindu Dara Singh, who won the third season of "Bigg Boss", has hit out at Pooja Missra and Pooja Bedi for alleging favouritism in the ongoing season of the show.

"It has been two years since I won 'Bigg Boss' but, like every year, this year also some contestants are crying after being evicted. Twitter is a medium that I will never get to like... some silly girls go and accuse and say anything about two of the biggest and best people in the industry," said Vindu.

While Pooja Missra alleged favouritism for Mahek Chahal, Pooja Bedi accused Salman Khan for demoralising Akashdeep Saigal in the house. The grand finale of "Bigg Boss 5" will be telecast Saturday.

"The show is the best and it takes out the worst in contestants along with their best. Wish the two Poojas forget 'Bigg Boss 5' and move ahead because whosoever is advising them to do this kind of publicity, is leading them on to the wrong path. Even today there is no clear winner and let's see who does win this crazy session," he added.

Pooja Bedi asked to stay away from 'Bigg Boss' finale

Actress Pooja Bedi says she has been asked to refrain from attending the grand finale of Colors' reality show "Bigg Boss 5", in which she was a participant.

"Have been informed by channel that I'm not to attend finale, despite it being mandatory in my contract! Wonder why! Any guesses?" Pooja posted on micro-blogging site Twitter. 

"Have asked channel to state reason I cannot be there at finale to cheer my friends on! Also, till yesterday I was to do a medley! What changed?" she added. 

The actress, daughter of veteran actor Kabir Bedi and Odissi exponent Protima Gauri Bedi, caught limelight for endorsing Kama Sutra in the 1990s, and she went on to be popular for her Marilyn Monroe skirt act in "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander". 

Pooja entered the "Bigg Boss 5" house Oct 2, 2011, and she was evicted towards the end of November. 

Recently, the 41-year-old was in spotlight for her comments against "Bigg Boss 5" host Salman Khan, as she felt he hurt her fellow inmate and friend, Akashdeep Saigal aka Sky. 

It is believed that perhaps her comments didn't go down too well with Salman. 

However, in a host of replies to tweets from her fans, Pooja posted: "Never said anything derogatory about channel or production house! And its my perogative to react to contestants or host of my show. If anchors can be unfair or awful to contestants, contestants have a right to speak up in their or their friends defence!"

"I have requested an official explanation from channel, but they haven't given me one yet! Let them decide how to say it. Channel and production never had issues with any of statements I've made! If they had, they'd have intimated me immediately." 

According to a tabloid, even Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan's plans of promoting Karan Johar's forthcoming film "Agneepath", on the show have been scrapped. 

It is believed Hrithik and Salman share a cold war ever since the former reacted to Salman's comments against "Guzaarish" director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. So now, Imran Khan will perhaps attend the finale to promote "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu", also produced by Johar.

Post the news, Pooja wrote: "Mumbai Mirror article today! Hrithik not allowed in #BB5 finale! Guess I'm not the only victim! Wow!" 

The finale of the reality show is to be held Saturday. Among the final contestants are Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Mahek Chahal, Siddharth Bharadwaj and Sky

Is Sunny Leone scaring off Bollywood actors already?

After being evicted from Bigg Boss, pornstar Sunny Leone targeted contestant Amar Upadhyay, alleging that he kissed her hand and picked her up against her wishes, while carrying out fun tasks assigned to Housemates on the reality show. 

In an interview to a prominent newspaper, the pornstar from Canada mounted a scathing attack on the Indian actor and claimed, “It's the first time in my entire career that I've had to tell a man (Amar) more than once not to be a certain way. 

That's why I didn't exactly know how to handle the situation as it was coming, other than talking to him as an adult. In my real life, no one comes near me or no one even tries to get fresh or do anything – it just doesn't happen.” 

Amar Upadhyay’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar clarified that the actor’s ‘acts’ of kissing Leone on her hand or picking her up during a rain dance on the show, “were strictly part of the ‘entertainment tasks’ given to the Housemates on Bigg Boss.” 

Replying to Sunny’s bizarre claims, he said, “Sunny Leone a respected pornstar! She should be careful before uttering such words against a family man and an actor who has been admired and adored on Indian television for his role of the righteous Mihir Virani in Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, which even propelled him as a superstar on television with a huge fan following.” 

“Sunny is planning to enter Bollywood. Showing such disrespect for a family man and massacring the reputation of an Indian actor even before she officially signs her first Bollywood movie, could reflect badly on her and scare off most reputed Indian actors and producers,” the publicist pointed out. 

Indeed, Sunny seems to have committed professional hara-kiri. India is a country of great morality and culture and this frivolous accusation could make her career in Bollywood an uphill task now. 

It can be noted here that Bigg Boss co-host Sanjay Dutt, who had rightfully come to Amar’s support during one of the elimination rounds earlier, was said to be planning to work with Sunny. 

But the rumours have been denied. Quoting a source, a prominent newspaper clarified, “Sanju wouldn’t be comfortable working with Leone and has no interest in signing her on whatsoever.” 

The other Bigg Boss co-host Salman Khan, who was said to be considering Sunny for a film, hasn’t announced anything; while Mahesh Bhatt is yet to officially sign her for Jism 2, a movie he discussed with her on entering the Bigg Boss House as a guest last month.
