Beyoncé and Jay-Z's filed trademarks to protect their kids name!

Celebrity couple Beyonce and Jay Z have not yet confirmed the birth of their twin, the names of the two have appeared in the media after their parents seemingly filed trademarks to protect the names.

The twins have supposedly been named Rumi and Sir Carter- beautiful names, isn't it?

While the two are yet to make any official confirmation on the same, a leading US-based entertainment magazine had quoted a source telling, "Bey and Jay are thrilled and have started sharing the news with their family and closest friends."

Beyoncé andJay Z already have a daughter Blue Ivy Carter who they welcomed on January 7, 2012.  

Beyoncé had shared the news of being pregnant with twins in February this year. Wearing a lingerie and flaunting her baby bump like a boss, the 35-year-old singer also shared a sweet message for her fans.  

Her caption read, "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters."  

Since then, Beyoncé has been sharing images of herself and her family on Instagram rocking her maternity style without a care in the world. She even attended and performed at this year's Grammys and stole the spotlight from everybody.  

Her speech was the most talked about and deservedly so. She told, "We all experience pain and loss, and often we become inaudible. My intention for the film and album was to create a body of work that would give a voice to our pain, our struggles, our darkness and our history. To confront issues that make us uncomfortable." 


"It’s important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty, so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirror, first through their own families — as well as the news, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the White House and the Grammys — and see themselves, and have no doubt that they’re beautiful, intelligent and capable. This is something I want for every child of every race. And I feel it’s vital that we learn from the past and recognise our tendencies to repeat our mistakes," she further added.

Katrina’s tu-tu main-main relationship with Ranbir!

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's equation has been under continuous media glare ever since they broke up in January 2016. The stars, who were in a stable relationship for almost six years, parted ways and since then have tried to not cross paths with each other.

When they broke up, a small chunk of shoot for Jagga Jasoos was remaining. But both Ranbir and Katrina didn't let their personal differences come in the way of their professional front. They finished the shoot of the film as per the decided schedule.

Later, there were also reports that Katrina and Ranbir won't come together for promotions. But the ex-couple slammed the reports and came together for the song launch of Galti Se Mistake. They also posed for the paparazzi and interacted with the media at the trailer launch of Jagga Jasoos earlier this week.

Fascinatingly, amid promotions, a video of both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif went viral where the two were interacting with a journalist. In the video, it was apparent that Katrina wasn't happy with Ranbir's continuous interruptions and she tries to shut him down.

When Katrina was questioned about it, she said a tabloid, "Our personal equation is between us, people can analyse it as much as they want to. But they are never going to get it because I have always been a private person.”

She further adds, “What you get to see when we come in front of the media is the equation which we’ve had in our work space from the beginning. We pull each other’s leg, it is all fun and masti. This is not negative, it’s not bitter, we are not pulling each other down. This is our way of having fun. If I say in an interview, how obnoxious he is, and who would want to work with him, it’s a joke. Ranbir and I have always had this tu-tu main-main relationship at work — it keeps up the energy, the fun."


Directed by Anurag Basu, Jagga Jasoos releases on July 14, 2017.

Tigmanshu Dhulia to become a father of a superstar SRK!

Director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who will be depicting the role of megastar Shah Rukh Khan's father in Anand L Rai's next, where Shah Rukh is essaying a dwarf, tells he wanted to be part of the project to see how it is done.

"I do very few films as an actor but when a filmmaker friend feels that I can do justice to certain role and when I need some money then only I do a film. It's a very technical film in which Shah Rukh is playing a character of dwarf so I wanted to see how it is made because when Kamal Hassan (Appu Raja) did it, that time he did that with folded legs and VFX facility also wasn't available," told Tigmanshu at the trailer launch of his forthcoming movie "Raagdesh" on Thursday.

"So, to know that process, I did this film. It's a very time consuming film where you have to give the best effort because you have to shoot each shot with 3 to 4 different approaches and in each day they only used to complete only one scene so it's a hard film to make, but they are giving their best effort for that," he further added.

Speaking about the challenges that he faced while working on "Raagdesh" which is based on 1945 Red Fort Trials when the Indian National Army soldiers were court martialled by the British, Tigmanshu told, "When you are writing a fictional story, that time writer can use his imagination to write a story, but when you have real story, then you have to mould it into proper film script. Then it is challenging, especially when you don't have the permission to tamper with past facts."

"Each scene of this film is documented with the help of some or the other books, so I haven't had any opportunity to take cinematic liberty in this film," he further added.

"Raagdesh" features Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh and Mohit marwah in lead roles.


The movie is slated to release on July 28. 

Ranbir and Katrina become fantastic dancers for Shiamak Davar!

Well-known National Award winning choreographer Shiamak Davar tells he had fun while choreographing actors Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in the upcoming movie "Jagga Jasoos" as they are fantastic dancers.

"I had a fantastic time choreographing ‘Jagga Jasoos'. The film being a musical has small dance sequences integrated throughout into the storyline. The video that came out ‘Ullu ka pattha' represents the perfect trailer of how the movement is incorporated into the film," Davar said.

He further added, "I've worked with Ranbir and Katrina in the past for award shows and stage performances. Both of them are fantastic dancers."

The Anurag Basu-directed movie is a comedy-drama movie which tells the story of a teenage detective in search of his missing father. The makers are pushing the film as a musical.
Speaking about the movie, Davar told, "The style of choreography in this film is very difficult. The steps look easy and everyone can do them, but getting the style and pulling that off is the tough part, which both of them have done very well."


The Disney and Pictureshuru Production's project is set to release on July 14.

I am not dating Taapsee Pannu, reveals Saqib Saleem!


The actor has been in news for quite some time now over his alleged relationship with Taapsee Pannu. But, Saqib in an interview maintained that she is just his "good friend."

“I am not dating her yaar. Few people have asked me this question and this is what I keep telling them. Taapsee is my dearest friend, and there is nothing more than that,” Saqib said a famous tabloid.  He had featured in a music video titled Tum Ho Toh Lagta Hain opposite Taapsee which released in June last year. The two will be seen sharing screen space in the forthcoming movie Makhna as well.

Saqib and Taapsee's alleged relationship made headlines last year after it was stated that the duo went out for a romantic dinner on Taapsee’s birthday.

Commenting on it, Saqib told, “The thing is that woh bhi Dilli ki laundi hai, aurmain bhi Dilli ka launda hun (She is a Delhi girl and I am a Delhi boy). So, we are really comfortable in each other’s company. She has an amazing sense of humour, and I love spending time with her. Woh bahot chill laundi hai (she is a chilled out person)."


“I keep telling her that she should behave like an actor. But she tells me she doesn’t have that vibe, and she can’t behave that way. That’s why I say she is a very easy and comfortable person to be with. But, we are not dating each other, except on-screen for our next film,” the actor ended conversation.
