Months after Dhoon was announced, we heard that AR Rahman would not be composing the music for it any more. Dhoon is cinematographer Rajiv Menon’s Hindi directorial debut vehicle.
Toplining Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, the film, produced by Eros Entertainment, is a musical based on a couple whose professional lives affect their personal relationship.. and how they eventually sort out their differences.
According to an industry source, the work on the music was scheduled to start by now. Rahman had agreed to score the music for Menon’s film before Slumdog Millionnaire and his Oscar Awards.
“But after the Oscar nominations, Rahman had to commit to a couple of projects, which were priority over his films. But he hasn’t yet started composing for them,” our source informed.
The same source added, “After that, Mani Ratnam developed a heart problem and had to be hospitalised for a few days. Consequently, Ratnam’s Raavan with Abhishek and Aishwarya was delayed and Rahman had to reschedule a couple of his other assignments.”
In the interim, Menon was working on the final draft of his film and was scheduled to commence work on the music a little later. Now with Rahman’s dates being rescheduled, Menon is worried that the project will get delayed indefinitely.
So, he is considering other composers who will step into the Oscar winner’s shoes.
“Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekhar are some of the names under consideration although Menon still hasn’t had a formal discussion with them,” our source added.
Menon refused to comment on his change of plans. All he said was, “It’s too early to say anything definite. Perhaps, in a month or so, I will be able to divulge some details.”
"I think I'm pretty sexy in it," the actress, 23, said at the Comic-Con press conference for the movie (out Sept. 18). "The movie is SO sexy! You better put on your sexy shoes for this movie!"Man, this girl is a genius at selling a film. Ok, who did Megan Fox just turn on? Let's see, we got the people who love Megan Fox, sexiness, lesbians, foot fetishers, guys with a 'Daddy's girl' thing, necrophiliacs, dude's who love to be bossed around by women and your mom. What, she's into Megan Fox? Is that so wrong?In the film, in which Fox eats people, "there's sort of a hint of, a little bit of a lesbian relationship that happens. There's a girl-on-girl kiss. And beyond that, before every kill there is a seduction that occurs," Fox continues. "The boys have to be seduced to get in close enough to the dead girl in order for her to devour them."
She doesn't mind freaking out an audience.
"It's cool to see myself being able to scare people, because I'm just a little girl," she says. "Look at me: I'm so sweet!" (Reuters)

Since Michael Jackson's sudden death on June 25, the rumour mill over details of his bizarre personal life has ground away nearly non-stop.One company says it is turning his hair into diamonds. That one is true.In one by-product of the pop star's death, a Chicago company says it has obtained some of the hair Jackson burned while filming a 1984 Pepsi commercial and planned to create a limited edition of diamonds from it.
"Absolutely this is for real," said Dean VandenBiesen, founder of LifeGem, which has a patent on a process that extracts carbon from hair, turns it into crystals and then into high-quality laboratory diamonds.
Mr VandenBiesen said he thought the company could make about 10 diamonds.
No sale price has been set but Mr VandenBiesen said LifeGem created three diamonds from locks of Beethoven's hair in 2007 and sold one of them for around $200,000.
Separately, the August 6 issue of Rolling Stone magazine reported that not only was the left arm of Jackson's dead body "scored with needle marks" - claims that have arisen before - but he wore an artificial nose that was missing when he was taken to the Los Angeles county morgue.
While that report could not be confirmed, Los Angeles coroner's officials did say earlier this week they were probing security breaches in their offices.
The coroner's office is expected to release an official cause of death next week which could shed light on some of the reports, including Jackson's possible use of powerful drugs.
Even as custody of Jackson's three children is set to be decided in court on August 3, The Sun newspaper speculated the singer may have had a love-child raised in Norway.
Omer Bhatti, 25, sparked interest when he was spotted sitting with the singer's immediate family at Jackson's public memorial earlier this month.
Mr Bhatti reportedly spent time with Jackson at his Neverland Valley Ranch in the 1990s and was known as 'Little Michael'.
But another of Jackson's former proteges, singer Ricky Harlow, told celebrity website People.com on Friday that although they were close he doubted Mr Bhatti was Jackson's son.
"They had a father-and-son type of connection," Harlow, 26, told People, "but I never thought he [Jackson] was his biological father."
In Jackson's 2002 will, the singer listed only three children now living: Prince Michael Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Joseph Jackson II.
While attending the premiere of her MTV documentary Paris, Not France (above), Paris Hilton revealed to Extra that Michael Jackson's daughter was named after her:
"My mom and Michael went to high school together and they were best friends since they were 13," Paris explains. "So I grew up knowing Michael very well and when he had his daughter, he always loved the name Paris and grew up being an uncle to me. So he asked my mom if it was okay and of course she said yes and I think she's such a beautiful little girl and I'm proud we have the same name."
I don't know about you guys, but this is probably the most fucked up thing I've heard about Michael Jackson. Ever. I could find out I have repressed memories of him molesting me as a child, and I'd still be saying "Wait. He named his daughter after who now?"
Deepika says, “I have always looked at my parents’ as the perfect love story. Despite having differences, through mutual love and commitment, their marriage has been successful.
The actress is quite excited about her next coming movie Love Aaj Kal. When asked about the memorable moments of the film she says, “One of them would be the song sequence (Chor Bazaar) in Delhi.”
She adds, “There was a time in earlier decades when singing and dancing on top of a car were common. These days they are no longer in vogue, but the director wanted to have a song sequence on a moving taxi rooftop in Delhi!”
Deepika says further, “Needless to say, Saif and I had to oblige despite not being very comfortable. People in the city were quite surprised and wondering what we were up to. But now when I see the song on screen, it is looking pretty nice.”

We are talking about the steamy, sizzling lip-lock between Vidya Balan and Arshad Warsi.
Yes, Arshie took permission from wifey Maria before letting the heat on, but we get to hear, from Warsi himself, that Maria Goretti wasn’t too comfy with this ‘hot stuff’. Anyway, she, too, gave in to the demands of Vishal Bhardwaj’s script.
After Maria, it was his own emotions he had to fight. “I was extremely petrified... even Vidya knows it. I was dying from within. But then, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.”
So much for the love-byte. And the latest update on this ‘kiss-a’: Arshad has vowed, no more on-screen kisses! And Maria, we hear, is breathing easy!
