John's arrival makes Jolly sad!!

Indian Idol contestant Jolly Das' cup of woes seems to have brimmed over! First, the lady was diagnosed with chickenpox and now she will miss her one chance to meet the man of her dreams, John Abraham on the sets of Indian Idol. The actor will be a celeb judge in the epidode to be aired on Monday, 23 January. When we spoke to Jolly's father the other day, he said that the finalist was very upset about the turn of events. Madhavan up for a cause! Post Deal Ya No Deal Madhavan has been busy cooking up dosas, brewing coffee and selling paintings but all this for a cause in Chennai… The actor made a pair of dosas which was auctioned for twenty five thousand post which he made coffee and sold it for another twenty five thousand and finally he auctioned a Thota Tharini painting for one lakh and whizzed off making everyone happy especially the female junta which kept yelling and wanting for more of the same. Madhavan donated two lakhs of the event to The Banyan, a home for mentally ill and destitute women. Here's hoping that this actor with a heart of gold keeps making such appearances for such causes more then often then once.. Short takes! Tina Parakh (or Kahaani's.... Shruti) is quite a short gal, compared to her contemporaries, but the sporting lass doesn’t take it as a minus point. “If you are short, you look younger," reasons the girl. "Most actresses like Rani Mukherji and Amisha Patel are short too! I have no issues with my height. I have been paired opposite extremely tall boys. And, except for the master shots, my height is never an issue.” We like your honesty, Tina. Wish others shared your virtues.... Karishma disowns Dosti! Karishma Tanna made a hurried entry into Bollywood with the Bobby Deol Akshay Kumar starrer, Dosti, where she had 'a blink and you miss her' kind of a role! The lady understandably prefers to keep mum about the whole experience. Our sources tell us that Karishma took up the offer because the temptation of working with a huge star cast and big banner was something that she could not resist. "I play Bobby Deol's sister and simply don't know why I took up the offer but it is the biggest mistake of my life to do the film," sighs Karishma who is currently busy with Paalki. Here's hoping the actor learns from her mistakes and is careful about her next venture in Bollywood. Kasautii Shweta Ma Ki! Shweta Tiwari is balancing her family and work quite well. She is an actor, wife, daughter-in-law and above all a loving mother who has become a pet lover only for the sake of her daughter. Shweta Tiwari has two pomeranian dogs at home. “I took in dogs because my daughter Palak is very fond of pets. We have named the pomeranians Pixie and Sweetu and they have been with us for two years now,” says Shweta. Shweta should take them on the sets of Kasautii...and enjoy their company...atleast it will keep her away from all the bitching!
