Every time the Bachchan bahurani puts on weight, rumor hit the block that she is pregnant. Again rumor is doing the rounds that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is heading for motherhood. But as usual, Aishwarya denied the report.

The news caught fire when Ash was in a hurry to wrap up her forthcoming projects, Vipul Shah’s Action Replay, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, Mani’s Raavan and Rajinikant’s The Robot. It was even rumored that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked out of Abhinay Deo’s Crooked because she is planning for motherhood. Ash however remarked that the news gained momentum when they said in the recent ad “We have a good news”.

Ash further added that she and Abhishek have no any gender (boy/girl) preference and they would expect whatever God blessed them with. She went on to say that Abhishek would make a good father as he is very good to kids.

Kellan Lutz works it in this winter fashion story for Cosmopolitan magazine.
The 24-year-old Twilight hunk - and former Abercrombie model! - weighed in on what he loves to see on a girl. Here’s what Kellan had to say:
On not showing everything: “It’s nice to see bits and pieces of a woman exposed. As a guy, you get that mystery — especially when a dress or top isn’t too snug.”
On layering: “Layers add excitement. I think, Once I take the sweater off and I’m able to touch her arms, how soft are they going to be?”
On wearing comfy clothes: “The coolest part about seeing a girl wear something comfortable is the smile that you can just feel coming through from inside her.”

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Until now, little has been known about the upcoming film “Unbound Captives,” except for the fact that Robert Pattinson was going to star in it. For Twilighters, that was all they needed to know. The ironic thing is, RPattz’s co-star, Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, has plenty of details to dish about the drama but knows virtually nothing about “Twilight.”

“Meeting him was vampiric. He sucked my blood,” laughed Weisz, remembering their introduction. “Wait, is he the vampire? He is the vampire, right?”

Yes he is, Rachel. And in “Unbound Captives,” Pattinson is eager to portray a teen living in the Western frontier who was kidnapped by Comanche warriors at a young age; Weisz is slated to play the mother on a mission to get her son back. Co-starring alongside Hugh Jackman, Pattinson told us recently that “Captives” offers him a character who “can’t really be more different from Edward,” the leading man of “Twilight.”

“It’s an independent movie, and they are raising the money, so hopefully it’ll happen,” Weisz said of the flick, which will mark the writing and directing debut of veteran actress Madeline Stowe. “I don’t know if it will [be made], but yeah, I’m very excited.

“It’s a great screenplay, and [Pattinson and Jackman] are both great actors,” Weisz added of why she is attached to the film. “I like to work with all kinds of talented people, whatever the age.”

Weisz — who can be seen later this month in director Peter Jackson’s drama “The Lovely Bones” — said another reason she’s eager to work with RPattz is his mystique.

“He wasn’t star-struck. He’s got a whole rebel vibe, right? Yeah, that was his vibe,” she said of their meeting. “He’s kind of iconoclastic. He’s flaunting authority. Yeah, pretty cool.”

If this is a Dream, Susan Boyle doesn’t want to wake up.

The unlikely Syco/Columbia phenom will top the HITS’ Album chart for a third consecutive week next Tuesday (12/15), with a total that could hit 600k, bringing her cumulative number close to 2 million.

That will certainly bring a smile to the faces of Rob Stringer, Steve Barnett and the notoriously hard-to-please Simon Cowell.

Based on one-day sales reports from those retailers not too busy selling flat-screen TVs, the top debut will come from Columbia’s Glee, Vol. 2, which is rapidly turning into its own cottage industry, with 120-130k, giving Barnett’s label the top two albums on next week’s chart.

Jive/JLG’s Chris Brown returns with Graffiti, which is on target for between 95-100k as the next highest newcomer, while Warner Bros. Birmingham, AL, rapper Gucci Mane is right behind him, with a projected total of 85-95k.

Virgin/EMI’s Thirty Seconds to Mars declare This Is War with a projected total between 65-75k, followed by Mailboat’s Jimmy Buffet (60-70k), Priority/EMI’s Snoop Dogg (55-65k), E1 Entertainment’s BG (40-50k), Blackground/Interscope’s Timbaland (35-40k) and Columbia Virginia Beach hip-hop duo Clipse (30-35k).

The market was down 5% vs. last week, down 10% vs. same week last year and down 13% year to date.

You may now return to enjoying the last few days of the “'Ought Decade.”

The way this chick is selling is INSANE. At this rate, she might actually beat out Taylor Swift for best-selling album of the year.
