How cute can a fashion event get?Apparently, very, very cute... if you’ve got Barbie kicking it off, as the Lakme Fashion Week Fall/Winter’09 that starts in Mumbai today does. At 1 pm, the world’s most popular and admired fashion icon celebrates her 50th anniversary by showcasing the best in fashion design talent across the globe.Yes, after making an unforgettable style statement at New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Barbie will now walk the ramp at India’s foremost fashion event.

The winning designer (who will be announced today at the fashion show) was then invited to design the finale outfit of the event for a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll... and walking the ramp as the showstopper wearing that outfit today will be Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif.Katrina is delighted with the honour, more so because a Barbie doll bearing likeness to the Bollywood actress is in the pipeline and will come as a great surprise to the world sometime soon. “Every girl at some point of time in her childhood has played with a Barbie doll,” admitted Katrina, “and so have I. She makes a sweet, fun and lively companion.”It is true, Barbie is the world’s only brand that allows girls to imagine themselves as a mermaid to a movie star, a fairy to a fashionista, and a princess to a president, serving a purpose to girls as they try on different personalities, careers, and explore the world and all of its possibilities without ever having to leave home.

Deepika Padukone was born on January 5, 1986, at Copenhagen (Denmark).Her family moved to Bangalore, India, when she was only eleven months old.Her father famous Indian Badminton player Prakash Padukone and Ujjala Padukon.She completed her Pre-university studies at Mount Carmel College in Bangalore, India.Deepika also featured as one of the models for the Kingfisher swimsuit calendar for the year 2006.Deepika got acting training from Anupam Kher's academy.

The IPL in South Africa may just be the reason why the following news carries so much star power. ’Cricket Aaj Kal toh kaafi news mein hain.’ But so is Imtiaz Ali’s next biggie Love Aaj Kal, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.
The film which highlights the difference between love today and love during the yesteryears is in for some good promotional activities we hear in the overseas.
And what better way to promote your film when the whole world will be present in the U.K to watch the world’s top cricketing geniuses battle it out in the T20 World Cup
Not to forget, India, the reigning champions will be the ones to watch out for. So when you have the cricketers, frenzied crowd, crisp warm weather and strawberries with cream, and well, Bollywood stars promoting their film, what more can you ask for?
But we did miss out the commentators, didn’t we? We bring one for you, not from the cricketing world though...but from the filmy world.
A reliable source has just confirmed the latest news from London that Deepika Padukonewill be joining in the commentary team for next month’s ’T20 World Cup’ as a guest commentator.
The actress who was previously linked with the likes of Indian cricketing heroes, M.S. Dhoni and Yuvraaj Singh will now be sharing the same field as them once the match begins. But we’ll have to wait and watch whether her ’Love Aaj’- Ranbir Kapoor will be a mere spectator to this exciting event. That was match one.
Match two brings you a special celebrity cricket match with teams headed by Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone which will be covered by the local and world journalists along the lines of Veteran (KAL) cricket team (1st & 2nd generations) Vs Novice (AAJ) cricket team (3rd and 4th generations).
Again to wait and watch whether Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor will play opposite each other in this much awaited cricket match. Our sources have confirmed that Deepika and Saif will be in London during the first week of June.
Time for some commentary lessons and net practice Deepika! That’s all we have from the centre.

Pehchaan Kaun? Yes, this is Ranbir Kapoor, the brand ambassador for Panasonic, who has gone all geeky for the advertisement of their LCD’s range.
The ad features two Ranbir Kapoors as neighbours -a cool one and the geeky. Both manage to get a bunch of girls with the help of their Panasonic. Seems that the company has paid a huge sum to get the actor to play the role of two different characters, and sure enough Ranbir looked surprisingly comfortable in both roles.
All the more, Ranbir is all praises for the company and says, “Being associated with the Panasonic family is definitely a big honor for me and also a big responsibility knowing that it’s such a global plan…marketing such a big product…it gives me such great privilege and honor just to be associated with the family of Panasonic.”
How do you like this new look of Ranbir? Share your comments with us….
