Madhuri Dixit-Nene Obsessed with Herself on Twitter


We love ‘stalking’ our favourite celebrities! We are talking about ‘following’ our gorgeous B-town biggies on Twitter. So when recently the beautiful Madhuri Dixit-Nene went on a rampage posting her own pictures on the microblogging site, we couldn’t stop laughing to ourselves :)

The dhak dhak girl of Bollywood, who is a judge on the popular dance reality show Jhalak Dhikla Ja, no doubt looks as ravishing as ever. But we feel her current hobby seems to be posting her own photos!

The gorgeous actress uploaded a Twitpic of herself last week wearing a bright orange saree! The occasion? Well, apparently Madhuri was on her way to a blood donation drive in Pune! Wondering why she wore that blingy saree, gold jhumkas and not to forget the make up to a cause like this one?!


Oh and let’s not forget all those Twitpics she posted on Monday night posing on the sets of Jhalak Dhikla Ja! We almost burst out laughing when she tweeted asking her followers to guide her with cropping her photo to fit her display pic! This is what she tweeted:

@MadhuriDixit1 : Struggling with getting my profile pic just right. What size does it have to be or does it have to be square?
Square, huh? Whatever!

Celina Jaitely with her Adorable Twins


Celina Jaitley, who gave birth to twin boys Viraaj and Winston in March this year, seems to be a proud mom to the boys. Pictures of the twins along with the parents, made their debut on the People magazine.


We think pictures of the twins Winston and Viraaj with Celina and her husband Peter Haag look like an adorable family portrait. What do you think?

6 Ways of Taking Care of Your Feet this Monsoon


1. Choosing the Right Footwear
Preparing yourself with the right footwear is as essential as equipping yourself with umbrellas and raincoats. Avoid wearing closed shoes since they tend to accumulate water, which will end up wetting your feet. Also wear your socks once you reach office to avoid bacteria to grow resulting in fungal infections.

2. Wash your feet immediately
Absolutely simple yet the most important is washing your feet thoroughly once you’re back home or in office in case of any contact with the muck on the roads. The season is known for its infections and hence it is crucial to get rid off all the dirt immediately.

3. Moisturizing your feet
Get yourself a moisturizer for the feet, which must be applied, every night before sleeping. This will not only help you get rid of the dead skin but also keep your legs supple.

4. Cut your nails
Long and un-kept nails are one of the biggest culprits, which store dirt for the longest time. Cutting your nails short can keep you away from any sort of contamination.

5. Pedicure
Take time off your busy schedules and go to your nearest salon for a pedicure regularly especially during monsoon. If time doesn’t permit, you must dip your feet in hot water once a week and do a mini pedicure. Don’t forget to add some liquid antiseptic to the water to help you get rid of all the dirt. Scrub your feet well using a good scrapper.

6. Dry your Footwear
If your shoes have been soaked in rainwater it is essential for you to dry them under the sun before putting your feet in them again. Damp shoes are home to a number of bacteria that can ultimately cause infection.

Enjoying this season in the best possible way also brings with itself some significant things to be kept in mind to take care of your body especially the feet. Follow these handy tips and stay away from all the infectivity.

How to Care for Pearl Jewellery


 They are chic, they are elegant and they can make even an ordinary outfit look ultra glam. Pearls are a must-have in every fashionista’s jewellery box. But they are not your ordinary gemstones. You simply can’t dump them with other earrings and knick-knacks in your jewellery box. They are special and need some extra care because their source of origin – oysters – is organic. They are more delicate than other stones and can be easily cracked, scratched or damaged. Here are a few ways in which you can care for these precious jewels.

Cleaning pearls
Clean your pearls with warm water and mild soap, preferably gentle hand soap. Never use any acid or alcohol-based cleaners. You can also use special cleansers for pearls that are available in the market. After cleaning them, never use a hair dryer to dry them; just put them on a towel to dry them out. Also don't forget to clean these jewels with a soft cloth each time you wear them.

Caring for pearl jewellery
While dressing up, always wear these precious stones at the end. Make up, perfume, hairspray can easily corrode your pearls as these stones are vulnerable to acids. Wear them preferably 30 minutes after you have used perfume, make-up or any other chemical on your body.

Preserving the lustre on pearls 
Humidity is good for these stones as it helps them retain their lustre. So it’s is a good idea to wear them frequently since moisture is good for them. If you are storing your pearls in a locker keep a moist sponge or a glass of water in the locker as it will keep them healthy.
How to store pearls
Don’t expose your pearls to sunlight or extreme cold. Extreme temperature will degrade them.

It’s good to get these stones restrung every year. Pure silk thread is always best for pearls.

Preserve these ornaments in a soft cloth bag. Silk pouches are the best but you can also store them in velvet-lined boxes or even in chamois leather pouches. Never store your pearls in plastic wrappers.

With these easy tips, you can preserve your precious pearls for a long time. And who knows your favourite pearl necklace will be new and as striking as ever when you pass it on to your granddaughter. ;)

Aishwarya Rai Picks Sabyasachi for London Dinner


 Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's spin doctors have been pretty active. After the carefully released images from Cannes, comes this. The actress was invited to attend a dinner hosted by a luxury hotel chain in London. Dressed in a flowing Sabyasachi creation, the actress looked as though she had been furiously working her way through all criticism about her weight and sartorial choices.

No awkward fits or heavy fabrics, but a clever flattering silhouette that nipped and tucked away what she didn't want to reveal, highlighting what she wanted to. The focus was her face, which had far more definition than what we have seen in a long time. Welcome back Ash!

Vote: Which Khan will deliver 2012's biggest hit?


 We’re already halfway through 2012 and yet there has not been a single movie that has taken the box-office by storm. So as usual we have to depend on the three reigning Khans, Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh, to blow our minds.

Salman Khan is all set to scorch the screens with  Ek Tha Tiger that will release in August.

Aamir Khan too is ready with his psychological thriller Talaash coming up in November.

Not to be left behind, King Khan will also be seen on the big screen doing what he does best – romance – in Yash Chopra’s London Ishq.

Amongst the three who will deliver the biggest hit of 2012: Salman, Aamir or SRK? Vote for your favourite.

Two Beauties, One Dress


A celebrity's most-dreaded moment: Turning up in the same dress as someone else to a function! As much as they try to avoid it, every now and then actresses are caught on camera wearing the same designer number. Well, what can we say, we're just forced to compare. Take a look at these celebrities and tell us who you think wore it better.


Preity Zinta vs Anushka Sharma: Be it red or blue, both actresses look very latin in this frilly salsa-style dress. But with her toned body, we prefer Anushka. What say?


  
Bipasha Basu vs Lea Michele: Both actresses let the abstract print shine without adding any jewellery. Still we like Lea better because she looks all cute and girlish in it.


Sneha Taurani vs Katrina Kaif: The two did not only wear the same dress in different colours but to make it worse, they wore it to the same event. Katrina kept her cool and scores with us due to that.

  
Priyanka Chopra vs Rani Mukerjee: We won't take sides when it comes to these stylish actresses because both look hot. We leave it up to you to pick your favourite!

  
Kelly Brooks vs Sonam Kapoor: That's a whole lot of flowers both chose to show off. While Kelly keeps it all natural, we like the classy style Sonam adds with the bright red bag and matching lipstick. You agree?
