Ya, ya.. it's a joke! But he is actually selling watches as the brand ambassador of a Swiss watch maker, Tag Heuer. And he's even got a partner with him… gorgeous actress Priyanka Chopra, with whom he appeared in a recent launch show at a polo club in New Delhi.

While Om Shanti Om is breaking all sorts of Box Office records with it's fine run in the theaters, SRK was spending his Sunday watching polo matches and launching luxury watches, wearing a nice black suit (it's chilling in Delhi right now).

Priyanka was also looking chick in a polka-dotted white dress.
The Don girl only recently managed a Rs 2 crore deal and is having a healthy relationship with budding actor Harman Baweja .

Apart from jokes, if SRK ever wants to leave Bollywood (though I hope it'll never happen)… I thinks he's got a nice career option!

I have been hearing about Australian pacer Bret Lee and his upcoming Bollywood debut everyone's been buzzing about and it always made me wonder why no one ever offered our boys any roles?

Well guess what boys and girls! Our very own Paris Hilton, oops I meant Speedster, Shoaib Akhtar might be making HIS debut in Bollywood real soon!

"I have a piece of news for you. I have got an offer from Bollywood and will decide whether to work with them once I listen to the script,", is what Akhtar said to India Times on Sunday.

He said the producer and director would meet him with the script during the December 8-12 third Test against India in Bangalore. No idea as to who this producer and director are as of now.

I somehow just can not imagine Akhtar acting. I mean, he's a good bowler but will he fair as well in Bollywood is doubtful. For now I only hope this does not derail our Rawalpindi Express from what he is REALLY suppose to do; play for his country! He is known to get distracted quite easily by girls, night clubs, drinks, and what not.

But Shoaib Akhter in Bollywood? Someone please pinch me NOW!

Hold your breath guys. Some of the most desirable gals of Bollywood will strut their stuff on New Year's Eve.

They are hot and ready to rock. As many as six Bollywood hotties will set the temperature soaring with their performances at several New Year bashes organized by Country Club India Ltd (CCIL) all across India.

The shooting of the film Control is on in full swing and currently a song is being picturised on Mumbai's picturesque Marine Drive.

Though the film lacks star power, the interest lies in the subject. It is a movie about Ravindra Kantrole aka the beer man who had reportedly terrorized Mumbai a few months back.

Kantrole was later on released on bail.

The police alleged that he had killed a dozen odd pavement dwellers after befriending them and treating them to beer. Hence the name, Beerman.  

The film, written from his perspective, talks about the issue of drugs, slowly gaining a foothold among the city's youths.

The song currently being picturised too has this tapori element and the lyric goes like Yeh Hai Mumbai Mere Baap Ki.

And while this is a unique story in itself, another astonishing story is that of lead hero Waqar Khan, who plays Kontrolu in the film. Its a dream story for Waqar, who started off as an auto-rickshaw driver.

He has worked successfully in Bhojpuri cinema, and this will be his first Hindi release. "I play Ravindra Kontrolu in the film and the film talks about drug issues with undertones of love element too" says Khan.

The story is on the lines of a mafia war, where Waqar Khan falls in love with the daughter of a drug mafia. Almost all the faces in the film are unknown, but the curiousity about the real-life subject might help the film.

PANAJI: An Italian-Polish couple based in Goa has been carefully collecting film posters from across India, mainly of Bollywood, that take you back to another time.

Called "Colonial Photo", the collection is about a bygone era when Bollywood films had their own black-and-white tales to tell.

Italian Silvio Ciancia, based in Arpora village, has put together an amazing collection of British-era and Bollywood photographs which he also duplicates as collector's items and sells to tourists visiting Goa.

His Polish-English wife, Greta Wilkinson, who trained as a social anthropologist and wanted to get into art herself, looks after the Tabra Arts and adds value to this venture.

"This is only a fraction of my collection. There are lots more," he said showing around his old-style Goan villa.

"I'm on the lookout for (posters of) strange movies. I'm not much concerned about those films that are too famous. For 'Mother India' or 'Sholay', I don't care," Ciancia said. "I'm trying to get the kitsch of Bollywood.

"People go crazy over lobby cards (showing photos of actors and actresses). But the prices have gone up. What you could buy 10 years ago for Rs 25 in Chor Bazaar (Mumbai) now costs $25," he said.

Ciancia found some good sources for old posters on eBay, the online sell-anything website. He estimates he has over a thousand subjects with him.

He scans the posters, makes a paper copy, and puts them through matt lamination after painting the original.

"Some tourists, like the Russians, love that tarty lady," he points to one poster.

"Bollywood has some beautiful old movies too. Now, Bollywood makes a lot of films. Maybe, it could make less but of better quality," he added.

Calling his collection an outcome of a passion for art, he said: "It's primarily not a business. I'm not here to become rich."
