Salman’s bro insults Vivek in public

Here’s how Sohail Khan decided to stand up for big brother Salman by publically making fun of Vivek Oberoi at a party on Tuesday evening.Vivek Oberoi must’ve never in his wildest dreams imagined that he would be called a waiter at a party. It’s he who always calls Ganpat for the daaru, right? Well, this time the tables were turned during Ramesh Taurani’s silver anniversary, which had its share of drama with Vivek being the butt of the joke. Salman Khan’s younger brother Sohail Khan didn’t miss the opportunity to cock a snook at Salman’s sworn enemy Vivek Oberoi. It was bhai chaara at its best when Sohail decided to stand up for his bade bhaiya. When Sohail walked in, Vivek was busy sipping a drink. Sohail proceeded further into the hall where the party was gaining momentum. A few seconds later, Sohail saw Vivek standing quietly in one corner. On spotting Vivek, Sohail couldn’t help but remember the enmity between Vivek and Salman and he decided to get cheeky.

An eyewitness says, “Suddenly Sohail called out ‘Oye, Vivek!’. On hearing his name, Vivek looked towards Sohail. Immediately, Sohail looked at a waiter carrying a tray of drinks and again said, ‘Oye, Vivek, zaraa idhar aana’. Vivek’s face fell when he realised that Sohail had humiliated him. The shocked actor simply put his head down and walked a few paces away from where Sohail was standing. Did Vivek want to confront Sohail? And did he control his anger as Salman was shortly expected to make an appearance at the do? We may never know, but one thing is for sure, poor Vivek is still paying for that much publicised press conference he had called in April 2003 complaining that Salman harassed and threatened him over the phone for his relationship with Aishwarya Rai, with whom Salman was romantically involved earlier.

A friend of Sohail (name withheld on request) present at the party confirmed the incident. He laughed and said, “Uske baad Vivek ka chehra dekhne laayak tha.

Shahrukh Khan’s connection with Megan Fox

Now we didn’t know that SRK’s ‘Fox’ connection was so strong. Well, we aren’t talking about the much-publicised multi-crore deal with a foreign studio to distribute My Name Is Khan; we’re talking about the sexy Ms Fox from Hollywood. Apparently Shah Rukh Khan is a huge fan of Megan Fox (tell us which man isn’t), and recently at a press conference to announce the mega tie-up (with the studio and not the hottie Fox, silly) SRK in his usual tongue-in-cheek humour said that the only reason he was tying up with the studio is because they shared a common name with his hot-favourite — Megan Fox.

And he was hoping that they honour the tie-up with an introduction with the actress. That was SRK at his humorous best. Though it won’t be too long before the King Khan will be seen hobnobbing with the Angies-Brads and Toms-Kats of Hollywood. Wotsay?

Mallika’s Sherawat Inglourious moment

Mallika Sherawat managed an invite to the high profile LA premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, but she had an unusual way of showing gratitude for it. Like all red carpets, this too was an event where what a celeb is wearing is of utmost signifcance, and therefore it is unfortunate that Mallika decided to appear in a strange creation of sheer, and velvet and show a lot of skin.The fashion circle is abuzz with comment on this faux pas. Designer Gaurav Gupta said, “You can’t expect anything spophisticated out of Mallika. I thought the velvet shorts were tasteless…as was the gown.

On the other hand, as always, there are some words of support for Mallika’s boldness. Designer Nikhil Mehra said, “I salute the fact that she manages to always grab more attention even if it by her style choices. It seems the outrage has reached Mallika already and she is regretting her couture choice. Her latest post on Twitter reads, “Big day 2morro! LA City Hall. History will b made:) You’ll b happy 2 know I’m wearing a suit! Dolce n Gabbana, of course.

As chirpy as this tweet sounds, it belies her regret over the decision she announced a few days ago, when she wrote, “Ques of the day: What shud I wear 2 the Tarantino premiere 2nite? Wud sssomething ssscandalous B appropriate?”
