The super success of “Slumdog Millionaire” has helped Irrfan Khan’s stature and, along with the Khans of Bollywood, he has made it to a new Forbes list of the most bankable stars from India in Hollywood.Irrfan is among half a dozen Bollywood actors on the list of “Hollywood’s Most Valuable Actors”, compiled by the American publication known for its rankings of the world's richest persons.Other Indians on the list include Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai.Irrfan ranked at 825 and is behind Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman.The global list, topped by Hollywood actor Will Smith, is based on the bankability of actors around the world, voted by members of the global entertainment industry, Forbes said.The rankings are based on scores given to more than 1,400 working actors globally by the industry people on a scale of zero-to-ten, in terms of their bankability to ensure the financial success of film projects.Currently Irrfan has around 5-6 releases this year. His forthcoming projects include “Kal Kisne Dekha”, “Paan Singh Tomar”, “Right Ya Wrong”, “New York”, “Acid Factory” and “Hisss”.



Slumdog Millionaire bosses have donated 500,000 pounds to kick off a programme aimed at educating poor kids in India.
The filmmakers have teamed up with Plan, an international kids' development organisation, to create the five-year programme targeted towards providing healthcare and education.
"Having benefited so much from the hospitality of the people of Mumbai, it is only right that some of the success of the movie be ploughed back into the city in areas where it is needed most and where it can make a real difference to some lives," the ‘Daily Express’ quoted director Danny Boyle as saying.
“Slumdog Millionaire has shown audiences around the world a snapshot of what life is like for one in six people on the planet,” added Plan U.K.'s chief executive, Marie Staunton.
"Education really is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty so we will focus the funds on getting children into school, keeping them there and ensuring they are healthy," she added

Jade hits back at Jack Tweed's critics

Cancer
-stricken Jade Goody, who is heartbroken over critics doubting her hubby Jack Tweed's motives, has hit back at them. Goody, 27, has, in what is said to be her last interview, slammed the critics saying that they were 'well out of order.“How am I meant to react to stuff like that? It really upsets me,” the Sun quoted her as saying. “They don't know anything about us. Jack loves me and I love him. Yeah, he's been a bit stupid in the past but he is young. The boys adore him - he was still playing with them at 1am at our wedding
away from all his mates. That's how good he is with them,” she added

A.R.Rahman just couldn't have had it better. While he is on an all time high courtesy the Oscars, he is all set to put the listeners on an all-time high, by having none other than Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue to sing for his forthcoming film Blue. For the uninitiated, this film stars the dashing Akshay Kumar, dynamic Sanjay Dutt, suave Zayed Khan, along with the lovely ladies Katrina Kaif and Lara Dutta! Produced under the banner of Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd, Blue is supposed to be India's first 'official' underwater film! But something that promises to float for decades to come is none other than Rahman's magical wand that has now got the sensational Kylie lending her magically mystical voice to not one but two of the songs in the film. While one of the songs is a duet with the supremely talented Sonu Nigam, the other is a racy solo number for the promotional video of the film. The USP of her duet track with Sonu Nigam is that while Sonu recorded the song in Mumbai, Kylie recorded the same in London, after she got a copy of Sonu's song. How this fusion was made possible, is something that only the musical maestro A.R.Rahman can tell us! The latest news is that Kylie will be shooting for the duet song with Akshay Kumar while gyrating to ace choreographer Farah Khan's dancing instructions. It really seems like the makers of this film are leaving no stone unturned to give the film a truly international feel. After all, it's only once in a 'Blue' moon that we get to see the clubbing of such mega talents under one roof!

Sometimes I think, ''Oh my God, I want another one right now, I'll sustain any amount of vomiting or whatever. And then sometimes I think, 'Gosh, everyone's sleeping through the night now,' If it's meant to happen, it'll happen,” Contactmusic quoted Paltrow, as saying.Gwyneth has been married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin since 2003 and has two children with him.
