EYECATCHERS
The Problem Of Plenty

(From right) Woods, Datta, Jeter and Dorji

Miss Universe Lara Dutta, 23, had been going to every Tiger Wood charity do since last year's crowning win, keeping the paparazzi on high alert for any printable involvement. She is also popular in the US (where Indian beauties have traditionally been just difficult names to pronounce) for being hooked up with baseball shortstop Derek Jeter. But Dutta, merciless in her predictability, says that both Jeter and Woods are "colleagues" with whom she shares a "working relationship". So what about Kelly Dorji, the third aspirant? "That's my personal life," she snaps. Hmm... more telling.
Aishwarya
Rai and her irascible alter ego, Salman Khan, would obviously
make a re-entry into Eyecatchers after Rai lashed out against the Press
for giving a "communal" angle to her relationship with the severely-muscled
actor and scoffing at rumours about a possible marriage. In an interview
to a BBC TV programme, a distraught Rai said that the Press "misquoted
people, put words in their mouth and the issue became very very grave
and sensitive". One other clarification: Rai fell down the stairs
once and passed out ... the bruises weren't because Salman beat the daylights
out of her.
Don't
bother looking for it solution providers Arzoo.com anymore... it has downed
its website shutters. Promoter and tech poster boy Sabeer Bhatia,
who gained immortal fame in Internet history for selling Hotmail to Microsoft
for $400 million, put up a notice board saying that the exit was due to
a severe downturn in the US economy and ruthless cost-cutting. "We
strongly believe in the model but now is not the right time to introduce
such a service," said Bhatia, lately denigrated as a "one project
wonder". Looks like he won't be buying his second Ferrari anytime
soon.

Ajitkumar with Mookhey
|
"Yukta Mookhey... Yukta Mookhey ... What a beauty you are," is almost a tautological proclamation for a recent Miss World, but for those who still think that the two are unrelated, this Tamil film song clears the air. When Ezhil, director of the movie Poovaellam Un Vaasam (All Flowers Have Your Fragrance) heard this song by lyricist Vairamuthu, he gave Mookhey a call for a cameo in the film. Sure enough, the 6 ft-tall muse stopped by Visakhapatnam where, mobbed by fans, she twirled to the adulating ditty with the film's hero Ajitkumar. Did co-star Jyothika feel left out?
