Cool customers!The stars of Yash Raj Films' Bachna Ae Haseeno made their appearances at a promotional event for
the film, in brightly coloured casual avatars. Great way to beat the rains and look good at the same time, no?
Net savvy
On Friendship Day, Ajay Devgan spent over four hours on the Net answering posers from fans, whom he now calls 'friends'. The actor-director was looking for an appropriate day to interact with his fans, and the special day was reason enough to tell all on his website (ajaydevgan.net). Of late, Devgan has even started asking fans who want to be his friend to send in their pictures. C'mon Ajay, don't be so superficial, it's not all about the looks, is it?
Bonding buddies
The two newest best friends in B-Town seem to be John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh. Common friends reveal that John and Neil have been bonding big time after their first meeting. The duo will be seen in Kabir Khan's next which they shoot for in the US this month. In fact, we hear it was Johnny boy who told Bipasha to act in Freeze with the newbie. Though we think John should be taking Bips' advice when it comes to careers, no?
Choppy ride
Akshay Kumar was spotted in Vancouver with his new clean-shaven look (he's also growing his hair finally!) at a promotional event for Singh Is Kinng. Worldwide distributor, Studio 18, flew the actor in from LA in a private jet. Upon landing, he immediately boarded a chopper to the famous PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) ground for a concert. Akki enthralled visitors for half an hour with a live interaction and performed to the title track of SIK, twice. "Who is behind a successful sardar?" he asked the crowd. The women roared with delight when he beamed, "His sardarni!" After the conference, the actor rushed to the nearby Vancouver airport to board his private jet back to Los Angeles. Everybody's happy with the Kinng!

Katrina Kaif glittered at the Nakshatra press conference held yesterday to announce that she was taking over from Aishwarya Rai as the brand's ambassadress (As reported in 'KATching it all'; HiTLIST; July 31), but with those kind of sparklers around the neck, which girl wouldn't?
Sallu's tonsil talk
Salman was unwell during a recent shoot of 10 Ka Dum recently. "My tonsils are acting up," he muttered to one of the contestants. "I should have got them removed when I was young. But then I didn't because I had a cavity in the tooth and was afraid of having ice cream after the tonsils operation. Now the cavity has been taken care of but the tonsils remain and continue to trouble me!" Plus he has no one but strangers left to share his problems with⦠aww!

She has even designed his vanity van according to the rules prescribed. A source reveals that Ash learnt the Chinese technique during her transition from Vivek to Abhishek.
