Tech- illiterate Celebrities!!
Some of the most celebrated Hollywood superstars don’t know how to operate a cell phone or a computer. Look at some of the celebrities and their self-confessions here.
Angelina Jolie – super sexy mrs Smith Jolie confessed that she lacks technological skills badly saying that partner Brad Pitt helps her navigate computers. She gets her news through more treditional media like newspapers and TV.
Emma Thompson- Emma wields a fierce wand when co-starring in Harry Potter movies, jets around the world and hobnobs with Bill Gates at Davos. But don’t ask her to reboot a laptop. The actress’ favorite piece of technology, she told Forbes.com, is the fountain pen.
Vince Vaughn – In November 2007, the actor told MTV that he doesn’t own a cellphone, explaining he doesn’t like getting calls. Instead, he relies on the buddy system, borrowing a friend’s cellphone when necessary. “I am an annoying friend that way,” he confessed.
Simon Cowell – Simon says he doesn’t know how to work a computer.
President Bush – Bush was lampooned in 2006 for saying he uses “the Google” to look at maps of his Texas ranch. He reportedly doesn’t use e-mail for fear that his messages might be subpoenaed. Recently, however, his 84-year-old father, George H.W. Bush Sr., said that he enjoys e-mailing.
Paul McCartney- Paul has admitted he doesn’t know how to use ATMs and prefers writing letters over e-mail for “aesthetic” reasons.
Elton John – Elton is nostalgic for the low-tech vibe of the 1970s. The singer frequently talks about the Internet’s stifling effect on community and creativity and even suggested to U.K. paper The Sun that the Internet be shut down for five years to spark better quality art and music.
Larry King – Despite knowledgeably chatting up guests every night on his talk show, says he has never done an Internet search. As if to prove his techno-ignorance, he once asked guest Roseanne Barr, “What do you punch [on the Internet], little buttons and things?”

How to become a successful model!!
Hi dear dear viewers of fimlyhub.com. I read a wonderful article about starting a successful modeling career by Tori who is Owner of the Website PaidOpps.Blogspot.com and Expert in working online with no investment. She is very popular blog writer and in this post she gives valuable tips for modeling career. Here is the article synopsis presented for you.
Tori:-
Dreaming of becoming Victoria Secret Model?? Breaking into the modeling industry often is very hard, especially if you don’t have a ton of money or a lot of connections. It seems like there’s more people trying to scam aspiring models than there are people trying to help them. Shady managers, dirty photographers and poor advice is very common. But modeling career is very lucrative, moneymaking and glamorous. So here are tips 6 tips for modelling aspirants.
1. You need a portfolio a.s.a.p. There’s thousands of companies in the phone book and on the internet that will tell you to purchase a “professional portfolio” from them. This is totally not necessary, unless you have a few hundred (or more) dollars to throw away. Instead find a local photographer who is willing to do a “TFP” shoot. TFP stand for Time For Prints. This means that both you and the photographer benefit from the shoot. You get your picture taken for free and the photographer get to use your pictures without paying you for your time. Big name photographers will not go for this but I promise any college level photography student will jump at the opportunity.
2. Assemble photos in attractive manner in your scrap book. Include a page with your stats – measurement, phone number and email, etc.
3. Create free portfolios on sites like modelmayhem.com. Never list personal information anywhere public, such as the net. Keep it simple.
4. Scout for jobs using the internet, newspaper and so on. Even if you have to take some non-paid positions or low-paying gigs, it’s still good for building a resume.
5. Make comp cards which is simply your imaged worked out with Photo shop.Comp cards are like your “modeling business card”, they range in size from the size of an index card to a 5 x 9. Be creative but keep it simple. Print on glossy thick paper and be sure to include your stats and contact info. Keep photos to a minimum – no more than 4 on a side.
6. Hand out comp cards everywhere modeling-related! Be sure to give them to any connections you make in the modeling world. You never know when you’ll get that call for a big job. Comp cards are just like business cards – people have a hard time throwing them away.
Remember to stay positive. You won’t land every job you apply for! Even top models will tell you that it can be difficult at first. Don’t spend money where it’s not needed. It’s easy to be sucked into companies that promise the world. These businesses will offer you a no-guarantee policy, and little return (if any). Just stick to the above system and jobs will come!

Biography
Kajol is a volcano — who eclipsed all her contemporaries by her supreme poise and bubbly screen presence.
That she would be unconventional was expected since she happens to be the daughter of one of filmdom’s most bohemian and liberal minded actresses, Tanuja. Like mother, like daughter they say! And so, apart from the talent lineage that she has inherited from her mother and grandmother, Shobhana Samarth, her mother’s sharp wit and couldn’t care less attitude have naturally rubbed off on her too!
But when Kajol did finally enter the film industry one day, she took even her family by surprise. She would invariably bury her nose in a book in her free time and seldom seemed inclined to pursue an acting career. Nor did she ever evince any interest in the lure of fame and glamour.
As luck would have it, Gautam Rajadhyaksha, ace lensman, happened to be a close family friend who decided to cast her in his first production. Since studies per se didn’t excite the teenager, she said ‘yes’ to the offer merely to test the waters! And thus Bekhudi was born!
The film wasn’t earth shattering, as the cash registers proved within a few weeks of its release. What was otherwise established remains etched in viewers’ minds firmly. Forever. For, here was an actress whose effervescence sparkled beyond the cardboard images that actors have to live with all their lives.
Also, as she did not belong to any school of acting, she had in her a wild streak that made her a natural before the camera. Cinema aficionados adored her style — normal girl-next-door but one with a sharp focus and conviction. She refused to be dressed to the nines (a habit she retains even today despite her superstar status) and instead substantiated a believable image that every age group lapped up.
Needless to add that she was flooded with offers — a rare occurrence in Mumbai where actors are written off every Friday after a flop! But Kajol became the first choice of many directors who wanted to have a go at presenting this ‘unfilmi’ heroine in their ventures! What followed was Abbas Mustan produced Baazigar with Kajol and Shahrukh Khan in the lead, which did roaring business across the country. A suspense thriller with fast paced lilting music had Kajol in the role of an unsuspecting girl whose sister gets mysteriously killed. As a young determined girl, she displayed commendable range, steadfastly pursuing to bring the murderer to book. Yet again, she declined to doll up like an overdone Christmas tree, keeping in mind the distressed young character’s state of despondency. The film also gave a new hit pair — Shahrukh and kajol — whose onscreen chemistry endeared them to the masses overnight. So much so that people started comparing their sizzling song and dance sequences to those of Raj kapoor-Nargis and Dharmendra-Hema Malini.
In quick succession came, Yeh Dillagi, a frothy romance with Saif and Akshay Kumar, Hulchul with Ajay Devgan, Udhar Ki Zindagi (where she played Jeetendra’s granddaughter) and Karan Arjun with Shahrukh again. Rakesh Roshan directed Karan Arjun turned out to be one of his biggest blockbusters and though Kajol had hardly any role to speak of, she benefited immensely from its success.
And in the year 1995 again, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge hit the silver screen, a Yashraj banner film directed by Aditya Chopra, Kajol’s friend. The novel treatment and modern day storyline about NRIs made an electrifying impression on the bubble gum generation. And Kajol, in her role, oozed brazen nonchalance and rare oomph with great gusto. She even did a towel dance (Mere khawabon mein jo aaye…), a naughty titillating teasing number that could have bordered on the vulgar and obscene, but she handled the song with an impish charm and glint in her eyes, never pandering to the male gaze! Actually that’s one of her other assets — letting her hair down in a fancy-free world she conveys the feeling of joie de vivre with élan. And panache. And seems to thoroughly enjoy herself.
Ishq and Gupt (1997) further consolidated her star standing. What was surprising to note was her total indifference to her ranking and she turned down several plum assignments, carefully selecting to play characters she found believable. Or banners she found comfortable working for. She never went on assigning spree unlike others and enjoyed a quiet dignified lifestyle far removed from the pretentious world of make believe and showmanship!
Another childhood friend, Karan Johar, made Kuch Kuch Hota Hai with her best costar, Shahrukh and her cousin, Rani Mukherjee. Based loosely on the comic strip, Archie, the film became yet another milestone

Item song in Dashaavtar!!!

But Bhavik defends that it was the demand of situation which led them accept the idea of item number.
The situation where a beautiful maiden (Mohini) mesmerises the demons and lulls them into a sense of complacency lends itself to the song, which has all the trappings of an item number,’ Thakore told reporters. However Pune based Anushvi Productions which is the producer of the movie in association with Phoebus Creations Media Pvt. Ltd. Supported the idea throughout. Bhavik is reluctant to call the song as an item number. He clarifies-“ To call it an item number would be a bit far-fetched, given the contemporary meaning of the word, will be far fetched.” Bhavik rather calls the song a ‘fun-number’.

“I am not pregnant”- Aishwarya
Aishwarya has finally spoken about her rumored pregnancy and she has rejected it completely. “I am not pregnant’’ irritated looking Aishwarya told reporters.
A news report about Abhishek and Aish buying a villa in Dubai fuelled the rumors that Aish is pregnant and they are buying the house to escape media attention.
“I am sitting here in front of you. So, it is not true that we have got a bungalow in Dubai to hide (pregnancy) from the media,” she said.
“We are not expecting a baby. In case we do, we will let you know. We will not rob you of that moment,” Abhishek added rather sarcastically.
Further inquiry found that media report of couple buying that villa are baseless as property in Dubia will not be ready for occupation till 2010.
She also denied reports of her wearing Rs 1 million sunglasses on the set of Sarkar Raj. “I am not wearing a Rs.1 million worth sunglass in the film as reported by the media,” she said.
