Lindsay Lohan interested in none other than Leonardo DiCaprio

121606_


Looks like Lindsay Lohan has had enough of women, for she is now turning her attention to men, and the latest guy she’s interested in is none other than Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio.



The ‘Mean Girls’ star, who has recently spilt with lesbian lover Sam Ronson, was spotted flirting with the ‘Titanic’s actor before getting up to dance in front of him.


Lindsay spotted Leo at Hollywood hotspot My House on April 15, and indulged in cosy chat with the 34year-old star.


“As soon as Lindsay saw Leo she was like a bee to honey,” British tabloid The Sun quoted a source as saying.


“She was going for the big catch and when she spotted him in a dark corner of the club she headed straight for him.


“She quickly monopolised his conversation and made sure she had him all to herself.


“Lindsay is a sharp tac. She wasn’t wasting her time chatting up small fish. She seemed interested in the gents with deeper pockets, probably because her career is on a downward trajectory.


“The pair were cosied up together deep in conversation. She definitely tickled his fancy,” the source added.


Later in the night, after a few drinks and more of flirting, Lindsay took to the dance floor to show off her moves.


The eyewitness said: “It was a bit shocking when she got up and started dancing in front of him but he seemed to be enjoying it.”


DiCaprio  has earlier dated supermodels Helena Christensen and Gisele Bundchen, and he is currently going around with Israeli catwalk star Bar Rafaeli.

Hugh Jackman and Beyonce Knowles To perform in Oscars

hugh_ja


Hugh Jackman is turning singer for the Oscars. The ‘X-Men’ star is not only hosting the but will perform along with sensuous singing diva Beyonce Knowles. Hugh, Beyonce will team up with ‘High School Musical’ couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens for a musical performance on Oscar night.



For the 40-year-old actor who knows singing and dancing, the invitation to host the Oscars came as a pleasant surprise. Hugh was in Australia promoting his film ‘Australia’ at that time. He got a call in December regarding this and didn’t even know that his agent was on with negotiations.


The actor started preparing soon after and is constantly in touch with actors like Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin, Ricky Gervais and Billy Crystal, seeking advice and ideas. It’s been reported that he is practicing for six hours a day.


Hugh, who is voted sexiest man alive by People magazine, admits that he is not a stand-up comedian but is confident of pulling up a good act on the big night. He has hosted Tony Awards thrice.


According to some reports, ’Mamma Mia’ couple Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper will also perform on the stage. Robert Pattinson, too, is likely to act as a presenter. Whereas ‘Australia’ director Baz Luhrmann is choreographing the numbers.


Oscars will be held at the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood on Feb 22.

Mohanlal is all set to do a full-on action scene with Jackie Chan


Akshay Kumar, go eat your art out. The Malayalam maverick Mohanlal is all set to do a full-on action scene with Jackie Chan.
The film in Japanese called Nair San directed by Keralite, Albert, is based on a real-life character. And Mohanlal learnt Japanese for the role. He now steps into the action arena for an action scene with Jackie Chan who makes a special appearance in Nair San.
Says Mohanlal, "Jackie Chan appears in a major action sequence with me. I'm trying to physically prepare for the role. I've already shot for about 150 days for Nair San in Japan and Mongalia. I'm the first actor from Malayalam cinema to feature in a Japanese film. I've to speak not only in Japanese, but also in Chinese and Mongolian."

Nair San will be subtitled in English and released all over the world.
The action scene with Jackie Chan will be shot in Mongolia. Says Mohanlal, "Nair was an Indian freedom fighter. I've met the man. He owns a chain of restaurants. I've been to his restaurant in Tokyo. And he has been to my home in Kerala. He passed away at the age of 85-86. I feel very privileged to be playing Nair."
Interestingly, Mohanlal's southern colleague Rajnikanth is a craze in Japan. Speaking on the failure of Rajnikanth's new film Kuselan, Mohanlal observes, "Actors like Kamal Haasan and Rajnikanth are larger than life. They cannot be accepted in guest roles. I can get away with small cameos, off beat roles, walk-on parts anything. I'm playing a 90- year old man in a new film. There're some actors in this country like Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi, Kamal Haasan and Rajnikant who are beyond success and failure. They're blessed people, if you say I am one of them then I too am blessed."
Mohanlal's new Malayalam release Akashagoparam is the first film that language to be based on an Ibsen play. "I can tell you this much. Ibsen at this point of time couldn't be done in any other language but Malayalam. I'm fortunate to have done it. As an actor, it's my job to do the best of the roles I get. However, the roles have to come to me. I can't go after the roles."
Says the softspoken actor, "It was director K P Kumaran's dream for twenty years. He had been pursuing me for fifteen years to do a screen adaptation of Ibsen's play. I finally agreed. Ibsen's The Master Builder is a complicated play. I've done stage plays including a play in Sanskrit. But Ibsen is tough. However, I treated the film like any other. I play an architect. Changes were made. For example my character's Norwegian name was changed for the Indian audience."
Mohanlal has also finished a war film Kuruskshetra on the Kargil war. "It's a major film." About his last aborted foray in Bollywood, Mohanlal says he has no regrets about doing Ram Gopal Varma's Aag. "People just pounced on Ramu. They forgot how much he has achieved in the past. Such things happen. In fact Priyadarshan has just offered me a role in a Hindi film to be done in the middle of next year. I get a lot of Hindi films. But they don't interest me. But I'll do Priyan's film. It's 12-13 day film. It isn't a conventional Hindi film. It has a message on AIDS. Priyan is returning to his roots. He recently did a fantastic Malayalam film called Kanjeevaram. I was supposed to do it. But I couldn't. Now I'm looking forward to working with him and to doing a Hindi film."
