They treat me the same as they always did. My mate Andy from college moved to London around the same time as I did, so he comes over to my house a lot. Often he`ll bring his friends with him and we go out together,” Payne was quoted as saying.“We`re quite nerdy and have games nights, as well as movie nights on Wednesdays if I`m home. It`s nice to do something really down to earth and normal,” added the 20-year-old.Meanwhile, the singer also gave away that he was naked and terrified when two Aussie fans pinched his boxer shorts earlier this month. “It was a bit scary to be fair because when you’re naked and there’s a stranger looking through the window…” the 20-year-old recalled.He added, “If you turn it the other way round and I’d been looking at her through a window, I’d have been straight off to jail!’Sure one embarrassing experience!

The Barfi girl says that her man should be a male version of herself. “I have a very long list and very high standards. He has to be a gentleman, he has to be intelligent, someone I respect and funny, not stupid funny but witty funny, charming. Basically, a male version of me,” Priyanka said, who was last seen in the remake of Zanjeer. The 31-year-old actor also divulged that it is not important whether he is an actor or not. “He needs to be an achiever, it doesn't matter if he is an actor or not an actor.

Priyanka, who is missing from the teaser of Gunday, says it's obviously a promotional strategy for the movie. “Obviously it's a promotional strategy. The film is Gunday and the boys play Gunday which is why the introduction for them was important.

Tigmanshu Dhulia’s latest offering Bullet Raja may have missed the target at box office, but it has been collecting appreciations for the star daughter Sonakshi Sinha, who portrayed a character that is far from any vulgarity and controversy. She says her next film R…Rajkumar also has the influence of her style, which is again on the lines of Indian traditions.It is a known fact that Sonakshi have never played a damsel in distress. Be it her debut movie Dabangg or R…Rajkumar, the audience finds her, often, cladding in Indian outfits. “My closest friends know I am pretty bindaas that way, and these characters that I have played, have been women of substance and people who have their own voice. I think that when people meet me they realize that I am like that, and that's why I get cast for these roles. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and portray who I am on screen,” said Bullet Raja girl.She added that she has her own rules about what she will or won't do on screen, and is very unapologetic about them. Sonakshi wore a sari and came out of the water in Gandi Baat in R... Rajkumar, there was much talk about the missing bikini from that quintessential Bollywood scene.“I am glad that people are talking about it. I found it really funny when it was brought to my notice - that when people come out of the water, they come out in bikinis, and I was in a sari. Prabhu sir (Prabhu Deva, the director) knows how to project his heroines in a good way without making it look vulgar or cheap. So I was very happy, I had no qualms in doing that scene. And really, being sexy or sex appeal doesn't lie in the length of your clothes or how skimpy an outfit is or how much you're revealing. I think it's always nicer to leave stuff to imagination,” she averred.You have a point girl.

It is no secret that recently former couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart met up. However, not many know that the meeting was fixed by none other than Kristen’s mother. Due to Kristen’s cheating on Rob, with married director Rupert Sanders, the couple had to separate as Robert couldn’t get over the cheating.However, now, the two are meeting up again, and their close friends insist that Kristen’s mother, Jules, helped them to get back in touch. "Jules is like a surrogate mother to Robert in Los Angeles and she reached out to him and invited him over to see her with Kristen. They were both very worried about him," said a source."He's at a low ebb right now and enjoyed seeing Kristen. One thing led to another and they've hooked up quite a few times since in secret. She has been trying to help Robert get his life back on track. She's still madly in love with him," the source added.Sources claim that K-Stew is keen on reconciling with Pattinson; however, Pattinson has a different take. "Kristen misses Rob desperately and there is still a lot of chemistry there. It's been a hard few months for them both and she is desperate for them to give their relationship another chance," the source said."Rob has softened towards Kristen, but as far as he's concerned they're not getting back together. This is a temporary state of affairs and he has told friends they don't have a long-term future. He can't face the scrutiny their relationship always comes under - but with these two, who knows," the source added.

Director Prabhudheva gave this golden opportunity to Sonu Sood to play a crucial role in his film Ramaiya Vastavaiya. In the movie, Sood played lead actress Shruti Haasan's brother. And now Sood will be seen playing the main villain opposite Shahid Kapoor in R… Rajkumar."Prabhudeva has repeated Sonu in R... Rajkumar after Ramaiya Vastavaiya. While he had a very strong part to play as Shruti Haasan's brother in the latter, Sonu has been roped in as the main villain opposite Shahid Kapoor in the former. Prabhudheva finds him really non-fussy and after these two films, he plans to repeat the actor in his future outings as well," informs a source.Acknowledges Prabhudheva, "Sonu Sood is a very nice guy. He may be playing a villain in R... Rajkumar but he is a great guy. He is terrific in the film and his combination with Shahid and Sonakshi is quite remarkable. Out here is totally different from what he had done in Ramaiya Vastavaiya. While he was a little serious and emotional there, in R... Rajkumar, he is playing to the gallery and is very entertaining. Seldom do you find a villain who makes you smile as well as get angry on him. However he has managed to do that. As for my personal equation with him, I am happy and lucky to be his friend." Glad to work with Prabhu, Sood said, "I share a great rapport with him. When a director repeats you in back to back films then you are bound to feel nice. Prabhudheva has blind trust in me and that matters a lot. I am flattered to be a friend of Prabhudheva." Who would not be? LOL!
