PRIYANKA IS KEEN ON BUYING A TWO-DOOR SPORTS CAR

Priyanka Chopra is considering on the idea of buying herself a sports car. The actress has been shopping around for a two-door sports car. The actress has shortlisted three.

A source close to the actress reveals, "She has short listed three sports cars. Whatever her choice, it will be an imported model. She has yet to zero down on the make and the model of the car."

Before she left for her holiday to Indonesia and Thailand, PC spoke to her friends and colleagues about the models she had liked. Now that she is back, she will close the deal shortly.

Adds the source, "She always wanted to own a sports car. But her recent trips abroad made the longing more critical.

She personally owns a Mercedes S Class and had an E Class too. She has also had a test drive with the sports car of the same brand."

Priyanka's dad Dr Chopra says, "Priyanka is fond of sports cars but for now, we haven't bought any."

KATRINA DENIES BEING ON TWITTER

My life is not an open Facebook, she says.

She is planning to launch her official website by the end of the year, but Katrina Kaif denies being on the social networking site Twitter and says somebody has been copying her.

"Something has to be done to stop this sort of destruction. I am not on Twitter or any other social networking website. I plan to start my own website by the end of the year," Katrina told IANS.

Katrina doesn't believe in half-measures. It comes as no surprise to know that she intends to start her own website after months of research, training and build-up before the internet's most 'hit' girl delves deeply into her own domain.

"I don't want this to be something I start and then leave to others to take care of. Of course, there will be professionals employed to oversee my website. But I'll pick and choose all the material and pictures that will on the site," said the actress.

Katrina's website will be called katrinakaifofficial.com and the actress wants it to be a one-stop all-purpose stopover for all her fans.

"My website will be comprehensive. It will have my exclusive pictures. In fact, I'll be doing photo sessions done specially by me. It will also have pictures taken by me on my sets and on location."

But the website won't carry reports on her day-to-day activities.

"I don't think it's cool to let people know where I am or what I'm doing throughout the day. I'm not on any of the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. I guess my life is not an open Facebook," she puns.

The design, colours and format for her website are ready. It has been designed by her sister's boyfriend and two professional designers from Britain.

"I looked at several designs presented to me. Then I saw a British actress' website which I quite liked, though it was too dark for my personality. My website will be fun, feisty, bubbly and colourful, to go with my image.

"There's nothing messy and everything official about it," she said.

PRIYANKA AND KATRINA AT WAR

The hottest actresses in Bollywood will star in the Bollywood version of Bride Wars and launch their official wesbites.

The original film starred Anne Hathaway (Princess Diaries) and Kate Hudson (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). Shrishti Arya will produce the film and she has bought the rights for remake. It was speculated that Kareena and Katrina would star in the remake but now Katrina and Priyanka have signed on the dotted line for the film for which they will start shooting by the end of the year.

A source said, ‘Priyanka and Katrina are working together for the first time. They have both seen the movie which is about two best friends who decide to get married on the same day which results in them falling apart as friends. Priyanka last worked with several heroines in Fashion and for Katrina, the film was Race. It will be interesting to see how the actresses behave with each other on the sets. They are both stylish, trendy and at the top of their game in Bollywood. Playing friends could be difficult and it will test their acting skills to the max as everyone knows that two contemporary actresses cannot get along. The catty part will be fun, when the brides start fighting.’

What’s more is that both stars will launch their official websites soon. Priyanka’s will be called www.iampriyanka.com. Her team is working really hard to make it go live. The tech-savvy chick is a huge hit on Twitter (with 50,000 followers) and on Facebook too. A source revealed that it would be a better way for her to connect with her fans. She has been inundated with requests for an official website. They can also chat with her and see exclusive personal photos and the like. On a note on the website, Priyanka said, ‘Hey! Welcome to my official site. My team and I are working hard to go live soon. In the meantime, stay in touch with me through Twitter and Facebook.’

Meanwhile, Katrina Kaif’s site is called www.katrinakaifofficial.com. She isn’t on Twitter and Facebook but she is the most Googled Bollywood celebrity so it makes sense to have an official site. The site will be launched at the end of the year. Though a team of professionals will oversee the day-to-day functioning of the site, she will supervise all the content and photos that go up. Kat wants it to be the ultimate source for the lowdown on her. As a result of this, her unofficial fan sites will suffer.

She will not put up her day-to-day activities and she finds that un-cool (is this a dig at Priyanka who is active on Facebook and Twitter?). her site will have exclusive photos and also production, on set photos. Kat said that her sister’s boyfriend and two designers from the UK are working on the site. It will have a colourful, feisty, bubby and fun look to go with her image. Kat darling, your image however, is sophisticated, cold, touch-me-not, holier-than-thou and politically correct. So your site is pretty different from the image you currently have.
