In Blue Letters
No,he’s not out of his mind,just a little mad. And with this,it proves that Akshay Kumar is capable of doing just about anything. After diving into the deep blue,doing stunts underwater and swimming with the sharks,Akshay exposed a sexy back with his son’s name Aarav tattooed on it. The actor’s using the name for his character as a lucky charm in his film,Blue. But that’s not all. He’s gone a ‘nib’ further and got ‘Blue’ inked on his neck! The things we do for films! Produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. and directed by debutant director Anthony D’Souza,‘Blue’ has spiked up everyone’s curiosity with its promise of breathtaking underwater sequences,thrills,adventure and fast paced action. As for Akshay,he plays a driven,arrogant rich obsessed-with-money businessman who owns the ‘Blue Shipping & Fisheries Company’. In fact,it was director Anthony’s brilliant idea to have ‘Blue’ tattooed on the back of Akshay’s neck to add that extra edge to his character. Like we said,Akshay can do anything for his art and craft!

Maid of Honour
First Jackie Chan,then a sensational appearance at Cannes followed by controversial milkshakes in the US,a lot of twittering around and slipping on a snake skin for Hisss. Mallika Sherawat has perfected the art of public appearances,the latest being a prestigious roll of honour at the Los Angeles City Council bestowed upon her Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa,former Mayor Richard Riordan,Council member Jose Huizar on the eve of Indian Independence day in a council presentation. This recognizes Mallika as an honorary citizen of the City of Los Angeles and honours her for an extraordinary career and charitable work. Also,we hear that it’s for the first time in the history of Hollywood,that a career recognition,honorary citizenship and official resolution was bestowed upon a Bollywood star by the City of Los Angeles. In the meanwhile,Mallika looked stunning (thankfully!) in a chic Dolce and Gabbana black suit coupled with a classy Gucci bag.
