Kat’s out from Happy New Year
For those who have been waiting to see Shah Rukh Khan-Katrina Kaif re-unite for Happy New Year after Jab Tak Hai Jaan, there is bad news. The actress won't be able to do the film due to prior commitments. There were reports that the two are coming together again in Farah Khan's directorial venture Happy New Year, but according to reliable sources, “it is not true.” As Katrina has signed two new films — Kabir Khan's directorial venture for producer Sajid Nadiadwala with Saif Ali Khan and Abhishek Kapoor's adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, she has no room this year for any other film. Said a friend of Katrina: “She would have loved to do Farah's film, but Farah initially wanted to sign a new girl for Happy New Year.”
We were amazed at the sparkling chemistry between Imran and Sonakshi. They are the new romantic pair created and we would definitely like to repeat them

Denise Richards sues contractors
Actress Denise Richards has filed a lawsuit against a bunch of contractors and sued them for more than $1,000,000 in damages. The 42-year-old claimed that they not only ruined her A/C, they also botched the electrical layout of her mansion here, destroyed the roof and demolished areas of the house they weren't supposed to just so they could charge her a premium to fix them. Richards, who is Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, also said that the contractors blew through their budget, racking up more than $3 million in charges for renovations that should have cost $1.6 million. She said that the temperature in parts of her house now reaches 90 degrees on hot days.
