Former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan made peace with her former bandmates in an emotional reunion this evening (01.07.11).
Keisha left the 'Round Round' group to in 2009 amidst rumours of fall-outs with other members Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah, but today they put their differences behind them, speaking for the first time in almost two years at the Barclaycard Wireless festival in London.
Amelle exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I was really nervous when we saw her, but we had a little chat and I feel like we can now put everything behind us, my heart now feels complete."
The teary reunion saw Keisha – the last remaining original member of the group to leave - make the first move, approaching her former band mates in the backstage Barclays Unwind area of the festival.
A BANG Showbiz reporter who witnessed the reunion, said: "It was really tense. Sugababes were already here where Kesha arrived.
"After a short while talking with her friends, Keisha took the plunge and spoke to the girls. It was very emotional, both her and Heidi hugged for ages and were crying. They had a brief chat, Keisha even hugged Amelle before she left.
"Heidi said afterward she was shaking with nerves."
Keisha was replaced in the group by Jade Ewen, giving the band an entirely different line up to the when it started in 1998 with Keisha, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy.
Heidi is the second longest serving member, replacing Siobhan in 2001, while Amelle replaced Mutya in 2005.

Selena Gomez - Movie Reviews Monte Carlo

Selena Gomez picture
You win some, you lose some, the saying goes, and Monte Carlo , starring Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy, does both so far as the critics are concerned. Mick LaSalle in the San Francisco Chronicle begins his review by writing that the movie is "unpleasant where it should be pleasant, convoluted where it should be streamlined, anxiety provoking where it should be easy, and long, long, long -- at least 20 minutes longer than it has a right to be." Sara Stewart in the New York Post writes that the movie is so "earnest and predictable" that it amounts to "the cinematic equivalent of a pop hit by star Selena Gomez's boyfriend, Justin Bieber." (Coincidentally, co-star Cassidy is the daughter of David, the Bieber of the 70s.) It's all a mistaken-identity tween fantasy, and, writes Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel , "You take movies like this for what they are and for whom they're intended. But this script, this leaden direction, ensures that ... Monte Carlo fails." Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times does indeed take into account the targeted tween girls who will make up most of the audience for this film. It's all "harmless" and "innocuous," he writes. It's also "chirpy, it's bright, there are pretty locations and lots happens. This is the kind of movie that can briefly hold the attention of a cat." But Manohla Dargis in the New York Times also takes into account the intended audience for this film, expressing bewilderment over its PG rating "when it really should have earned a Gee." Dargis calls it all "packaged entertainment so familiar it feels like a remake and so wholesome you could swear Sandra Dee starred in the 1959 original." Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune apparently saw the movie after sitting through screenings of the critically reviled Transformers Dark of the Moon , which opened on Wednesday, and Larry Crowne , which opens today (Friday). " Monte Carlo is nothing much," he writes, "but it leaves your soul un-crushed, and this week, especially, it's cause for a celebration-ette."

Ranveer Singh opens up about affair with Anushka

Ranveer Singh opens up about affair with AnushkaAnushka Sharma-Ranveer Singh link-ups are gaining momentum every day. The two are known to have friendly tiffs and Singh even affectionately calls Sharma, bhaltu (scatter brain) — a name that he gave her during the shoot of their film.

As soon as Ranveer Singh flew in from Toronto after attending a film awards night, the Band Baaja Baraat actor was off to Film City to shoot for Simi Selects India's Most Desirable. Ranveer Singh opened up about his relationship with Anushka Sharma on Simi Garewal's show.

The most obvious question was about his co-star Anushka Sharma. Though the twosome have appeared together on Koffee With Karan, but this time it was the youngster who was left fielding questions about her co-star solo.

When asked about his liplock with Anushka in BBB he exclaimed, "Before the kiss, I asked her if she needed a mint, after the kiss I was left speechless!"

The actor further stated, "Anushka is a lovely girl but right now I have no time for a girlfriend. You need to have time for a girlfriend. At the moment I am starting off and I am too self-absorbed. We fight a lot too!"

Interestingly, Anushka who shot earlier for Simi Garewal's show also said something similar about Ranveer being too self-absorbed.

On the spur-of-the-moment Ranveer also composed a rap song which he also rendered about his struggle in B-Town.

The song mentioned everyone associated with his debut including Aditya Chopra. The episode will be aired later this month.

Raveena's 'Bbuddah' item song gets axed

The Mast Mast girl Raveena Tandon is back in Bollywood after a hiatus in Puri Jagannadh's Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap. She shares scree
Raveena
n space with Amitabh Bachchan and has an interesting item number, Main Chandigarh Ki Star, in the film.

Raveena Tandon was superpsyched about her item song in the upcoming Amitabh Bachchan movie, Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap. Well, a little birdie tells us that the song, Main Chandigarh di star, has been axed from the movie and will only be used as a promotional tool.

The song will now be used as a promotional tool and Raveena Tandon who was super-kicked about her comeback item number is fuming. The actress who had worked very hard on the song doesn't want to talk about it, post the announcement.

This is obvious because the actress had repeatedly gone on record in the past few weeks gushing about how excited she was to be making a comeback .

She was especially excited about doing an item number 17 years after her superhit song Mast Mast made her a nationwide sensation overnight. But after this latest announcement, the actress has sealed her lips and refused to comment. According to sources, Raveena is extremely furious as she had been working very hard on the song.

Main Chandigarh.. has been well received by the audience and hence, the filmmakers have announced that though it will not be a part of the movie per se, it will be used as a promotional tool nevertheless.

Sonakshi Sinha craving to become an Item Girl

Sonakshi Sinha craving to become an Item GirlWe only saw Sonakshi Sinha dance for about 45 seconds in 'Dabangg' but it was plain to see even in that little time that the girl sure knows how to move. The actress has been looking for a chance to show off those skills with an amazing number for a long time now, and looks like her moment has finally arrived.

The “Dabangg” girl, who was supposed to be shy and naïve by all, has come up with different colors of her persona in the past few months.

Sources say that she is very eager for two of her projects, “Race 2” and “Joker”. And the reason behind this anxiety is said to be the dance numbers she has done in the films. People close to her say that the actress has great fondness for item numbers and if possible she would love to get hold of an item number in all of her projects. She is simply crazy about them and there won’t be any surprise if tomorrow she adds the clause ‘Item Number a Must’ in her contract.     

Seems this is the result of the expert advice, which came from her mentor Salman’s end. The hunk had once told the lady what ‘Sheila’ and ‘Munni’ can do to her career, many of the roles may not be able to do the same. And it feels Sonakshi is following the Gyan!!

The film will also be produced by Preity who seems to have been inspired by the various stunts that she saw in the Guinness World Records show that she has been hosting over the past few months.

Preity Zinta who was seen in
a different role in her film Lakshaya where she played a daredevil war journalist, is all set to do an action film where she takes the villain head on.
 
Not many are aware that she has also completed a full course in karate in an effort to be ready for the role, unlike other actresses who only prepare for the role and do not get to master the art form completely.

Priyanka Chopra had learnt Gatka for one of her films and Koena Mitra too had learnt an art form. But they haven't been able to manage the enthusiasm of our Preity Zinta.
