Anoop Desai is Dropping out of College

After being voted off of American idol, Anoop Desai has giving his thoughts on his futureplans. The Desi
Idol was pursuing a master's degree at the University of North Carolina before his American Idol
audition. After being chosen to go to Hollywood, Anoop Desai put his college life on hold for dreams of pop stardom. However, with the competition now over, Desai has no intentions of going back to college; instead he plans to pursue a record contract. Back at the University of North Carolina, Anoop Desai was doing a post-graduate course on folklore and studied political science and American studies. In his free time, Desai would sing in the College's a capella group, the UNC Clef Hangers.

Desi Hits! Wonders how Anoop Desai's parents must be taking the news of their son. His father, a
computer software designer and his mother, a biochemist seem to be fond of learning. But we can't
blame Desai. While there is no official contract on the table for Desai who wants to focus on pop and
R&B, he does have one thing going for him, The American Idol Tour. The tour starts in the summer and
runs through America. And we don't think Desai will have to worry about money, the 2008 tour had a
total revenue of $29.3 million dollars.

But the question looms, will Anoop Desai go on to stardom. The last Desi to make it into the top 10 on
American Idol was Sanjaya Malakar who has faded out fast. Can Anoop Desai reach stardom like past
castoff Chris Daughtry or will he be another Sanjaya Malakar. And was Desai smart in leaving the
University of North Carolina to pursue a musical career. While we appreciate his boldness, we just
have to wonder how it will play out for the latest American Idol castoff, let us know what you think
about Anoop Desai's decision at Desi Hits!

Photos: Dev Patel and Freida Pinto Caught Together

We gave you some exclusive news about 'Slumdog Millionaire' co-stars Freida Pinto and Dev Patel who were caught together in Israel on a lunch date. Now we want to show you some exclusive photos of the two together and looked like some lip action going on.

In the past, Dev and Freida denied that they were together and that they are just friends.

Dev and Freida were recently spotted on an intimate lunch date in Israel where Pinto is on location for the French-Israeli co-production 'Miral'.

Patel, who turned 19 yesterday and Pinto, 24, have in the past denied they are anything more than friends.
However, for Patel to take time off and go to Israel to be with Freida around his birthday, the friendship would have to be a special.

Anil Kapoor, their co-star in 'Slumdog Millionaire', seems to have sensed the special nature of their friendship well.

When he appeared on Ryan Seacrest's Morning Show on KIIS FM on February 18, Seacrest asked Kapoor:
"Dev and Freida, is there any action going on behind the scene there?"

Anil Kapoor, who has a reputation of talking straight, did not hesitate in replying, "As a matter of fact...when I meet them I feel there is something happening."

"Ah Ha!" went Ryan. "I knew it!"

"But she says I have to look after him and I have to baby sit him and that kind of stuff... [I think] this is the beginning of something exciting happening.

"They definitely make a great pair...both of them look very good together," Anil added.

Now we want to know from you guys if you think that Dev and Freida make a good couple after looking at these exclusive photos. Send us your comments.

Celina Jaitley Reveals Her First Boyfriend was Gay


By: Mufsin Mahbub

Celina Jaitley has met with great success with films like 'No Entry' and 'Golmaal Returns' by sizzling up the screen with her presence.

Apart from her films, Celina's commendable work for gay rights has also kept her busy. She walked at the Gay Parade held in Mumbai but not many know what actually made her fight for the gay, bisexual and transgender cause. Celina revealed to Stardust Magazine that the first man she fell in love with turned out to be gay.

"My first boyfriend was gay and that's the reason I continued being a gay rights activist." The only question is how did she discover he was gay?

"I had newly moved to study in Kolkata and had also just started modeling. I met him there when I went to a nightclub for the first time in my life. We became good friends. He later proposed and I accepted eagerly as I had never been in a relationship in my life before. I got to know that he was gay within a couple of months but didn't know how to deal with it. He wouldn't accept it openly that he was gay and continued relationships with other men while I remained a girlfriend to show everyone he was straight."

But Celina doesn't hold any grudges. "He came out of the closet soon after and we ended up becoming good friends but he dealt with the dilemma and trauma of abusive relationships, hiding his sexuality from his parents and family. His story ended last year when he passed away of heart failure due to bulimia. But the long lost love for this person also continues be a major factor in my life to pursue my quest for gay rights in India. I've had gay friends all my life. They always stood by me whenever I needed them. There was a time when if you were a homosexual, you were considered a eunuch. Unfortunately, that was the understanding of homosexuality in India. I realized I couldn't sit quietly anymore and I had to stand up," she said.

Celina had faced hurdles for supporting this cause. "There is a Bollywood website where they have abused me and called me a lesbian. I have got threatening letters from certain cultural activists but I have carried on because somebody has to take the first step. This is a human rights issue and not a charity. I worked with a gay group in Kolkata for homosexuals as well. I have also worked in HIV awareness camps. I hope to do much more and the health ministry is also very supportive of it. There is a student community, which has supported my Facebook group," she informs.

Celina also had no doubts about playing a homosexual on screen. "If John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan can do it, I am sure somebody and I can do it also. There is nothing wrong in it. Love has no language - be it between two men, women or heterosexuals. Whether you portray it in a funny or provocative way, love is love," she states.

Now that you have read to her story, we want your opinion on Celina Jaitley's support for homosexuals. Is she doing the right thing standing up for what she believes in? Since she mentioned that she has no problem playing a lesbian on screen, do you think she can pull it off? Give us your thoughts on this actress-turned-activist.

Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia Call It Quits

The superstar actress Preity Zinta and her beau Bombay Dyeing heir Ness Wadia have been together since about 2005. There has been a rocky, public and yet in many ways private relationship. There have been just as many speculations about the couple splitting as there have been about the couple making it official and finally getting married. Preity Zinta who normally tries to keep her personal life private, couldn't hold it in any longer and all was finally revealed.

It's finally been made official. After being together for about four years, Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia have called it quits. There was the normal denial stage, but Preity Zinta has finally succumbed and reported that the rumors were not just gossip. The news was released in a kind of unusual way. She had to make it known to those that worked closely with her and somehow (what a shock) the information leaked.

A source in Cape Town said "As there has been a lot of buzz about their personal equation, Preity being extremely professional, felt it was important to clear the air. She owed it to her team members, so she sent an official mail to those associated with the team. Now there are no more hushed whispers when both Preity and Ness are around nor are people uncomfortable around them. It is really mature of her to be so straight and clear cut about her personal and professional life...But the warmth and affection between them has now gone kaput. It is clear for everyone to notice."

We want to know what our readers think about Preity Zinta and boyfriend Ness Wadia breaking up. Do you think that it was inevitable? Or are you actually surprised that they ended such a long relationship? Give us your thoughts on the end of Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia's love affair.

Himesh Reshammiya Will Play a Radio Jockey


Himesh Reshammiya may have been exhausted after filming 'Karzzzz,' but he has hardly withdrawn
from the movie scene. After finishing a large chunk of John Mathew Mathan's ' A Love Issshtory,' he
is ready to move on to a next project. In this new project titled 'Radio' Himesh Reshammiya will
playing a radio jockey.

'Radio' is set to be produced by Ravi Agarwal and directed by Isshaan Trivedi. The movie responsible
for Trivedi's fame is 7 1/2 Phere, which starred Irrfan Khan and Juhi Chawla. Upon confirmation of the
role Himesh Reshammiya commented, "Yes, I have signed the film with Isshaan Trivedi. The film is a
romantic comedy and would bear a realistic touch."

The shooting schedule for 'Radio' is said to be long, spanning 60 days, which begin on May 25th. This
shouldn't be too bad for Himesh Reshammiya once you realize that his last movie 'Ishk Unplugged,'
which was directed by Swapna Joshi took 65 days to shoot. When realizing this Reshammiya says,
"After completing Studio 18's 'Ishk Unplugged' on a 65 days non-stop schedule, I am moving on to
another non-stop schedule for Ravi Agarwal's Radio. I am enjoying every moment."

The project of 'Radio' is a stark contrast to Isshan Trivedi's last project, because unlike the last movie,
which was centered on a television. 'Radio' uses a radio (obviously) as an integral part of the film.
'Radio' won't be the last movie that we see Himesh Reshammiya in. On top of 'Radio' and 'Ishk
Unplugged' Himesh Reshammiya will also be starring in 'A Love Issshtory' and 'Kajraare' (which people
believed to be discontinued). A trade insider also has more to add, "In fact Himesh leaves for Devigad
on April 25th for the last schedule of this Pooja Bhatt film."

Himesh Reshammiya also appears to be very confident in his role of 'Radio.' So confident that a source
believes said Himesh is so, "Super-confident of his films, he truly believes that recession in the film
industry will end with releases of these films." If he really said this there's a good chance that Himesh
Reshammiya has some sort of deity complex.

Latest Endorsements from the Big B and Salman Khan


Some of Bollywood's royalty will be making an extra rupee or two on the side. Salman Khan and
Amitabh Bachchan are working on separate commercials' set to air soon. For Amitabh, he is working with
director Sujoy Ghosh on an ad for Himani Navratna Oil. The ad will use Amitabh's booming voice where
he will be doing a dance and singing a little jingle for the hair product. Reports say that Amitabh was in
the studio for long hours, working with composers for perfect a jingle. This is the first time that Bachchan
will be giving his singing voice to a commercial. An interesting part of this is that Sujoy Ghosh and
Amitabh Bachan are working on another project, no, not another commercial. The highly anticipated
film "Aladin" where Big-B himself will be playing the genie.


While Amitabh Bachchan is a highly sought after marketing tool, Salman Khan has been known as a pain
to work with and overly choosy which is why he hasn't really been seen endorsing too many things.
However Khan is getting a chance with a mint breath freshener advertisement. Salman Khan will rake
in 4 crore a year for the endorsement. Creative director Prasoon Joshi is excited about picking up
Salman Khan, 'The best thing about Salman is that his image is a brand fit for the product. Salman is
spontaneous, fun, cool and irreverent and that's what our brand fit is too.'


Salman's ad is still being filmed. The actor has been pretty busy, he has been promoting Sony's "Dus Ka
Dum," he has been filming his latest film "Veer," and he is on the campaign trail for Manmohan Singh."
So what do you think about the latest endorsements from two of Bollywood's finest? Think Amitabh
Bachchan should be selling hair products and Salman Khan breath mints? Or do you think they should be
selling something else, leave us a comment and let us know what you think about their latest
endorsements!

Sonam Kapoor's Sister to Make Bollywood Debut

When your father is one of the most well-known actors in Bollywood, it seems only natural that you would want to enter Bollywood. Thus is the case with Anil Kapoor's daughters. First there's of course Sonam Kapoor who made her debut with 'Saawariya' and then moved onto 'Dehli 6.' Well now Kapoor's oldest daughter, Rhea Kapoor is all set to make her Bollywood debut as well!

Except for one thing - she's not actually going to be on screen! Instead Rhea is going to be the producer for an upcoming film titled, 'Ayesha' which will star her sister Sonam in the lead role. The movie is based on Jane Austen's prolific novel; 'Emma' and Sonam will play a young, independent, Desi version of Emma who likes to be a matchmaker for other.

All right so Rhea Kapoor isn't the 'real' producer. It's being said that Rhea is just going to act as the official producer, while the movie will actually be produced by the girls' father Anil. Rumor has it that Anil wasn't too happy about the kinds of scripts Sonam was being offered, thus he decided to make a movie himself!

Rhea is actually an alumni of Dhirubhai Ambani International School and is also an assistant to director Ayaan Mukherji (who is also Kajol's cousin, oh the nepotism of Bollywood!) for Karan Johar's film, 'Wake Up Sid.'
Rhea herself is also a pretty, tall girl whose looks are actually quite similar to Sonam's. Plus if you recall, Sonam also started her career as an assistant to director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Hmm... do we smell an acting debut for Rhea in the near future?

Both Sonam and Rhea are said to be heading to Los Angeles for costume sessions with Mona May for the film's wardrobe. The two sisters are said to get along and have often been spotted partying together (if you recall the pictures stirred up a bit of a controversy!). So what do you think about Rhea Kapoor turning producer? Drop us a comment with your thoughts!
