For a reportedly self-styled Sonam Kapoor, looking good must come easy. No wonder then, she looks quite stunning here. Interesting how she has worn her hair a la Penelope Cruz, though!

Hair they come

Hairy tales: The Paris Science and Industry Museum along with L'Oru00e9al have put up a fun-meets-science exhibition. Ishaa Koppikar (looking frumpy with a disastrous brown bag, black shoes combo) interacted with trainees of the National Association for the Blind at the exhibition.

That's new!

Mallika Sherawat snags another first. Her first home production Hissss has become the first movie to be featured on the first page of Wall Street Journal! Meanwhile, reports from the set swear that director Jennifer Lynch and Irrfan Khan share more than a professional relationship. A female director and an male actor? Ah well, that's a first too.

Khullam khulla

Laila Khan and Farhan Furniturewalla seem to be throwing caution to the wind. Fardeen Khan's sis and Pooja Bedi's ex-hubby have, of late, been spotted at various events all lovey-dovey. As reported 'Pooja's ex is serious about Fardeen's sis (HiTLIST, January 8, 2008), all this while the couple had been discreet about their affair. But now that's changed. Laila's marriage to New Delhi-based Rohit Rajpal has been long over. After Farhan and Pooja separated a long time ago. This apart, Pooja and Laila know each other from their school (Besant Montessori) days and were part of the same Juhu neighbourhood and grew up together.

Sab mere bhai

At least two actors who have chatted with Maanayata Dutt recently called us to ask us to intervene and educate the new Mrs Dutt. They said, "She really must refrain from calling us "bros." She has obviously picked up the endearment from her hubby Sanjay, who calls his pals 'bro.' It is not okay even when guys call each other that, but when a woman says it, it makes us want to go "Eeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyesh" like Utpal Dutt.

New horizons

Freida Pinto seems to being going places after the success of Slumdog Millionaire. The lass is taking advantage of all the publicity around her and has been doing a lot of magazine covers. Recently she did a cover shoot for Vanities. After all the bold shoots, it is nice to see her in a completely different avtaar.

Life can sometimes hand out some bizarre deals. When Sanjay Gupta was in Rishikesh ('Gups, patli gully se; February 9, HiTLIST), he heard the news that his mother was seriously ill and had to rush back immediately to Mumbai. Apparently, his mother had been unwell for some time but the doctors had told Gupta that her health was improving and that's why he took off for Rishikesh. Fortunately, Gupta could meet his mother and spend some time with her before she expired early Tuesday morning.
