MALLIKA OOMPHS IT UP... AGAIN

She’s known for opting to be away from the attention but this time, we found out where Mallika Sherawat has been hiding!

The actress was invited as a special guest to a UNICEF charity event that took place in Los Angeles last week. And boy, was she in good company! Dressed in a bright yellow Max Azria gown, Mallika mingled with English actor Michael York, Billy Zane (of Titanic fame) and his date, Princess of Congo, and other dignitaries including Lord and Lady Hayes.

And in her trademark style, Mallika said it as it is, with one of her memorable quotes — when a photographer at the event told her ‘Everyone is talking about you’, she replied: “Anything to bring attention to a good cause.” That’s Miss Sherawat for you!

MALLIKA'S GIRLIE TIME WITH SHIRLEY

Sherawat and MacLaine gab and grab some grub in LA; they discussed re-embodiment too!

Mallika Sherawat is on a Hollywood-meets-Bollywood spree in Los Angeles to promote and create awareness for her next release Hisss directed by Jennifer Lynch.

It is learnt that she recently spent some time with legendary American movie star, Shirley MacLaine. They were spotted leaving the Chanel store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

They were followed by paparazzi and ducked in to a cafe for a late lunch. The meeting between the Oscar-winning actress and Mallika lasted over two hours." A few weeks ago Mallika met Shirley's brother, Warren Beatty, at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge. It is unclear whether Warren arranged the introduction between the actresses.

A source close to Mallika says, "They discussed films, and gosipped. Shirley told her stories about Billy Wilder and the time when she 'kicked Jack Nicholson in the groin.' Ms MacLaine also enquired of her film Hisss, as she has long been fascinated by reincarnation and has written nine books on it." Since Hisss deals with reincarnation, the senior actress was quite interested in the film, and asked to see the teaser promo of the film.

Shirley is known to be one of the quirkiest Hollywood actresses, just like Mallika who loves drama. Naturally the two bonded like soul sisters, albeit from different generations. MacLaine gave the desi actress tips on how to make it in Hollywood.

The H-Town actresse's best films include Irma la Douce, Steel Magnolias, Terms Of Endearment, The Turning Point, The Apartment, Madame Sousatzka, Closing The Ring, Rumor Has It and Used People among others.

MALLIKA'S LIPS GET HOLLYWOOD FAME!

Famed celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan has peaked Mallika "most beautiful actress"!

While present at New York City's Fashion Week recently, Mallika Sherawat, the first Bollywood star officially acknowledged by Hollywood honored with a Resolution in her name from the City of Los Angeles, may have added another "first" to her resume.

Famous American photographer Patrick McMullan immortalized the lips of the bombshell, whose activities in America have brought her international credit well ahead of the release of her newest film, "Hisss", the highly expected Indo-American production.

Mr. McMullan is known throughout the world as the most excellent photographer of A-list celebrities and the power elite. His collection is one of the largest archives of famous people in existence, including Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Julie Roberts, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and more recently, Mallika Sherawat.

Miss Sherawat was the special guest of McMullan for his Fashion's Night Out event and spywitnesses say the celebrated industry insider "gave an incredible public welcome" to the global glam gal with a "special introduction in front of celebrities and socialites as the 'Marilyn Monroe of Bollywood'", before taking "a very large number of photos" of Mallika to the delight of the crowd, even going so far as to comment in public, "Mallika, you are not only the most beautiful Indian actress, you're the most beautiful actress. Period!"

Our Fashion Week NYC spywitness said Mr. McMullan capped off the evening by asking Mallika if she was once referred to as "Bollywood's kissing queen" and upon seeing her smile, said "Let me capture those luscious lips on my camera" before he proceeded to take a close-up shot of the star's much-admired kissing instruments, pictured below.

Mallika was then spotted downtown at NYC club Sutra for a friend's birthday party, where Guiness Book of World Record hip-hop artist Chaz Kangas serenaded Mallika with a custom-made freestyle rap in honor of the star.

MALLIKA IS MAXIMISING BENEFITS OF HER US STAY

She’s set to be ‘Indian face’ of a leading fashion house.

Mallika Sherawat seems to be making a name for herself while she’s parked in the US for the post production work on her film “Hisss”.

We have seen her hanging out with a collection of Hollywood celebrities, and now she is all set to become the Indian face of a leading international fashion house.

At the New York Fashion Week, she was seen coming out of a show hand in hand with designer Max Azria.

Max’s fashion house is well thought-out to be one of the most sought after in the world.

After coming out, Mallika made an announcement that the famed designer will be designing her outfits. She also said that apart from designing for her, Max was also keen on making her the Indian face of his fashion house. He has also requested her to walk the ramp for him at the upcoming show in Paris.

However, Mallika added, while Max will be designing outfits for her and she will also be the Indian face of his label, as far as walking the ramp is concerned, the deal is still work in progress and has yet not been sealed.
