Karan Johar has been the butt of ceaseless teasing, thanks to his 'friends list' on Facebook. A high-society friend of the director was heard ragging him about his tacky friends list.

KJo's friends list

Karan Johar has been the butt of ceaseless teasing, thanks to his 'friends list' on Facebook. A high-society friend of the director was heard ragging him about his tacky friends list.

The social bird giggled to us, "He has something called Falguni Shane Peacock. How can a person be called peacock for heaven's sake? He has accepted several people he doesn't even know because he wants to boast about the number of people on his account."u00a0 Really, KJo!

Ashu's ire continues

When he saw the promos of his jhagda with host Sajid Khan at the Star Screen awards on TV,u00a0 Ashutosh Gowariker called the channel to stop it ASAP.

The director wasu00a0 so hassled that he even called off the shoot of What's Your Rashee? too.u00a0 Arre Ashu baba, public mein panga loge, toh tv pe aayega na? The show is being telecast on January 25 at 7.30 pm. Stay glued to the set!

Tinguji, tinguji

A bitchy bird called us to say, "At Sanjay Dutt's press meet at Lucknow recently, a eager reporter asked the actor, 'Munnabhai, politics mein aap ka Circuit kaun hai?'u00a0 Jaya Bachchan grabbed a mike and trilled, "Hum sab (herself, Jaya Prada and Amar Singh) Circuit hai."

That is nothing something bitchy bird will let pass without adding her own two bits: "Shouldn't they all be called Short Circuits, given their height?" Hum bolega toh bolega ki bolta hai..

Spotted: Shammi Kapoor and a friend were seen at the Kemps Corner China Garden heartily tucking into their food.

Kya bola?

A little birdie chirps that post Slumdog Millionaire's success at the Golden Globe, Anil Kapoor has acquired a major accent. Birdie Boo was horrifed at hear his newly-acquired crisp Brit tones, and by the end of the conversation, had lost several of her fine feathers.

Salman Khan has been cultivating his Bandra meets Beverly Hills accent for long and everyone is used to it. But Anil darrrling we are shell-shocked that a single outing at the Globes has done this to you. What will happen after the Bafta and maybe the Oscars... We dread to even think!

Hurman's danger ahead

We hear that Hurman S Baweja is mighty upset with Victory director Ajitpal Mangat for featuring himself on the cover of a newspaper along with the Aussie cricketers who star in the film.

Hurman thinks he, and not the director, needed to be there. Last heard, Baweja was negotiating with a mag to feature him on their cover solo. People who subscribe to the magazine, you have been warned.

So homely: Karisma Kapoor is trying really hard to set up a gharelu image. She is now the brand ambassador for Shakti Bhog's new range of ready-to-eat foods. She was looking smashing at the press conference at Trident yesterday.

Mandy slaps Gomzi...

...u00a0in a film! Mandira and Gautam play a married couple in Nisha Chainani's 42 kms. Bedi slaps Gautam when she learns that he'su00a0 cheating on her. Gautam essays the character of an advertising magnet in the movie and justifies the affair, citing marital boredom.
u00a0
Gautam says ruefully, "Though I did expect a slap but not with that intensity... it was definitely a slap to remember!" laughs the actor.
Ouch is all we can say!

In my opinion...

Director-scriptwriter Milap Zhaveri sent out this message to B-Town after watching Chandni Chowk To China. "Please note that this message has nothing to do with the fact that Nikhil Advani (director of CC2C) is the producer of my film and that this is solely my opinion as an audience and is unbiased.

CC2C is a super film with a racy first half, mind-blowing second half and the best climax I have seen since Lagaan! You come out of the theatre exhilarated. In my humble opinion, this will be a blockbuster and Akshay Kumar's biggest blockbuster till date! Please watch it for unabashedly entertaining cinema."

Milap, the audience has already rejected the film. So your gyaan is a little late. Concentrate on your next film in stead, warna tumhara bhi wohi haal hoga.

RAZA'S BOLLYWOOD

Q What would be the title of the film based on the life of the newly elected US president?

Au00a0 Oba'maa' Tujhe Salaam.
