Cheryl's tweedy X appeal
ANYONE who saw Sharon Osbourne's appearance on The Graham Norton Show last year will know that there's nothing in the way of lost love between herself and fellow X-Factor judge, Dannii Minogue. When asked by Norton about Kylie's younger sister, who had been brought on to the show by Simon Cowell to spice things up, Osbourne famously commented, "She knows she's there because of her looks, not because of her contribution to the music industry."
Osbourne, whose own contribution to the music industry is pretty dubious, then presented the presenter with her rear end, in an attempt to articulate exactly what she thought about Miss Minogue's own particular brand of beauty. It was all pretty much car-crash stuff, which no doubt helped fuel X-Factor ratings, generated plenty of press and served as an exercise in grace under pressure for Dannii Minogue. But it came as little surprise when queen bee Osbourne announced that she will not be returning for another series of the show, leaving producers with the task of finding a similarly controversial replacement.
Percept,payal rohtagi join hands for 'Ugly Aur Pagli'
MUMBAI: Percept Picture Company (PPC), which is riding high on the success of “Khuda Kay Liye” and “Jannat”, has joined hands with Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC) for the worldwide distribution of the upcoming film “Ugly Aur Pagli”.
The film, starring Mallika Sherawat and Ranvir Shorey, is set for release July 25.
Shailendra Singh, joint managing director PPC, said: “With the acquisition of 'Ugly Aur Pagli' we are looking at a long term relationship with PNC. The movie has the potential to strike an impressive balance between a light hearted romance and a comedy, a genre of which there has been a dearth in recent times."
“Ugly Aur Pagli” is romantic comedy directed by Sachin Khot and is supported by an ensemble cast featuring Zeenat Aman, Mika, Hard Kaur and Payal Rohatgi.
Pritish Nandy, chairman PNC, said: “We are delighted to take ahead with PPC the idea of making intelligent, interesting and commercially viable movies for the new generation of viewers, who currently form the core viewership of our films.
“The business of movie making in India is increasingly becoming a business of partnerships and alignments. The PPC-PNC relationship is based on a common vision of where Bollywood is going.”
