Synopsis From Goodreads:
Girl, Interrupted meets Beautiful Creatures in this fast-paced thriller
When sixteen-year-old Faye arrives at Holbrook Academy, she doesn’t expect to find herself exactly where she needs to be. After years of strange waking visions and nightmares, her only comfort the bones of dead animals, Faye is afraid she’s going crazy. Fast.
But her first night at Holbrook, she feels strangely connected to the school and the island it sits on, like she’s come home. She’s even made her first real friends, but odd things keep happening to them. Every morning they wake on the floors of their dorm rooms with their hands stained red.
Faye knows she’s the reason, but what does it all mean? The handsome Kel tries to help her unravel the mystery, but Faye is certain she can’t trust him; in fact, he may be trying to kill her—and the rest of the world too.
Rich, compelling writing will keep the pages turning in this riveting and tautly told psychological thriller.

SRK, Katrina's in Yash Raj's romantic flick
Shahrukh Khan who is busy with the promotion of his flick, ‘Don 2’ will start shooting for Yash Raj’s untitled film by the second or third week of January 2012. The film will see Yash Chopra returning to the industry after seven years. For
the first time Shahrukh will be seen opposite Katrina Kaif. The film is a hard core romantic movie. The film also has Anushka Sharma and she will join the cast later in April as she is busy with the promotion of her new flick 'Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl'. The film will be a Diwali release of 2012. This will be Shahrukh’s second diwali release after ‘Ra.One’.
Well, to see two charming actors for the first time on-screen will be a treat.
Jaya Bachchan, Karisma hug and make-up
In Bollywood love and rivalry is momentary. Bollywood is famous for Kapoor and Bachchans rivalry. Bollywood's two noted families turned rival when Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan’s engagement was called off. But in a recent event, people get to see a rare sight; Karisma Kapoor
walked up to Jaya Bachchan and greeted her warmly. It indicates that Karisma has dumped the past and reconciled with the Bachchans. "Everyone from Bollywood stars to industrialists and people from the fashion fraternity were present at the function. And people were quite surprised to see Karisma walking up to Jaya Bachchan and greet her. In fact they shared a warm hug, which made it clear that there is no bad blood between them anymore," said the eyewitness.
After Karisma’s break-up with Abhishek’s, Kareena Kapoor has also stopped signing film with the Bachchan Jr. But the story is different today, both the stars were married and happy with their respective partners and children.

Added another source, "They seem to have let bygones be bygones. Karisma even congratulated Jaya on the baby girl in their family. Of course now since Karisma is all set to make a comeback, she may see no point in not letting go of the bitterness as there could be a time when she may have to work with members of the Bachchan family."
Well, a new chapter of friendship has opened up in Bollywood.
Kangana to play a superwoman in 'Krrish 3'
Kangana Ranaut will play a superwoman in ‘Krrish 3’ and she is quite excited about her role as she had never done it before. She is undergoing rigorous training to fit into the role and learning various forms of martial arts. She had also lost weight to get into superwoman costume.
Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan had assigned a special trainer for Kangana who trained her every morning at beach side.
Kangana informs, “Yes, I go to the beach at 5 am every morning. Rakeshji has hired a trainer for me, who teaches me martial arts, kickboxing and lot of other forms of fighting,” says Kangana, adding, “My character has supernatural powers, so I have to lose a lot of weight to fit into a superwoman costume. I have to do a lot of stunts and action sequences. I don’t think the Indian screen has seen a woman like this.”
Kangana is happy to adopt this new avatar, “I was very happy playing a Punjabi girl in Tanu Weds Manu for which I had piled on a lot of weight. For two-three years, I have been a little chubby, happy and quite successful too. So, I don’t mind the weight. But for Krrish 3, I am working very hard. They want me to look a bit muscular. Someone who is fighting and doing action with three men should look convincing and not like a delicate darling,” she says.

Before Kangana, Chitrangada Singh and Jacqueline Fernandez were approached for the role but they opted out.

Abhishek, Aishwarya Rai still searching name for their daughter
As fans eagerly wait for Beti B’s “naam karan”, new B-town daddy Abhishek Bachchan is still struggling to finalise a name for his daughter.
The Bachchan family welcomed the baby girl Nov 16. Since then Bachchan junior has asked fans to suggest names for the new member on a micro-blogging site.
“The suggestions still pour in and still we haven’t managed to finalise a name. Evenings are spent reading out all your suggestions in front,” Abhishek posted on his Twitter account.
“Of the family and trying to decide. Will decide soon. Many thanks again. Lots of love,” he further tweeted.
Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan is busy hosting well wishers.
“A host of visitors for the baby and the joy and blessings they leave behind … thank you. The name suggestions keep coming in,” he tweeted
Arjun Rampal Celebrates Birthday On Heroine Set
Arjun Rampal Celebrates Birthday On Heroine Set
Arjun Rampal who turned a year older on 26/11 isn’t quite sure whether director Madhur Bhandarkar planned it. But when he reached the set for the first day of shooting for Heroine, Arjun was told that it’s his character’s birthday and that he would be doing a cake-cutting sequence with his co-star Kareena Kapoor.
Arjun Rampal who turned a year older on 26/11 isn’t quite sure whether director Madhur Bhandarkar planned it. But when he reached the set for the first day of shooting for Heroine, Arjun was told that it’s his character’s birthday and that he would be doing a cake-cutting sequence with his co-star Kareena Kapoor.
According to a source, Arjun plays an on-the-rise actor who latches on to the top actress of the day. Any resemblance to the equation that Dharmendra shared with Meena Kumari when they did films like Phool Aur Patthar, Kajal, Purnima, Bharaon Ki Manzil Chandan Ka Palna and Majhli Didi together is purely coincidental.
The birthday sequence that Bhandarkar shot for Arjun’s character fell on Arjun’s birthday. Filmy folklore has it that Meena Kumari celebrated Dharmendra’s birthday on the sets of one of their films together and even insisted that they incorporate the celebration in the film that they were shooting together.
Laughed Arjun, “I don’t know if Madhur planned it that way. But we ended up shooting my character’s birthday cake-cutting scene on my birthday on Saturday. Normally you’ve a star cutting a cake on his birthday on the sets. But doing it on camera in character is, I think slightly unusual.”
Arjun is all praise for his Heroine co-star Kareena.
“She looked stunning on the shooting today,” the actor said appreciatively as he headed home for a birthday party after the first day’s shooting of Bhandarkar’s film.
Said Arjun, “Nothing major. Just a small get-together for close friends. The past year has been pretty eventful. I hope the coming year too remains the same way.”
Recently, Arjun turned a TV host for a show called Love 2 Hate U where we hear, he is trying to convince his close friends from the film industry including Karan Johar, Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan to come face-to-face with the one ‘fan’ who purports to hate them the most.
Apparently, the three super-celebrities have expressed misgivings to Arjun about confronting their pet hate.
Says Arjun, “I am sure they all would agree to come on my show. I recorded an episode with Farah Khan and Farhan Akhtar recently. By the end of the show, their supposed haters ended up loving their objects of proclaimed detestation.”
Arjun warns he won’t be taking the Bollywood route alone on his show. “I want to invite cricketers, politicians and celebrities from every walk of life. When I wrap up my season of the show, I want to feel I’ve done something beyond just an ordinary chat show.”

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan Are The Famous Couple Of Bollywood
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan Are The Famous Couple Of BollywoodThey are called the Brangelina of Bollywood; like the Hollywood glamour couple, you’d think Saif and Kareena might never really zero in on a date for their marriage. Speculations have been rife about Bebo tying the knot with Saifu ever since they made
their relationship official at a fashion event in 2007.
The media even secretly married them off several times in the past two years. A headline screamed, “Saif-Kareena’s secret nikaah!” However, now finally the Kapoor gal and the Khan boy have decided to solemnise their love on paper and declare it to the world.
“We are getting married in Feb or March,” Saif was quoted as saying, last month. The two, who have remained committed to each other since four years, have maintained that marriage would not change much. Says Kareena, “Even now we go on holidays and try and take out as much time as possible for each other.
So this way, I hope I get more time to spend with Saif. Nothing else would change. We both are neck deep in work and it would be the same even post marriage.”

Marni for H&M Collaboration for Spring 2012
Less than a month after its widely successful collaboration with Versace, H&M has announced that it’s next designer team up is with Marni. The Italian label founded and designed by Consuelo Castiglioni is popular among cool fashion girls who like clothes that pop and have that touch of quirk—luxe boho, offbeat and a nod to arts and crafts. True to Marni’s colorful aesthetic and collage-like use of prints, Marni for H&M is reported to have the same color blocking and print-on-print vibe. There will be a women’s and men’s collection plus accessories like those chunky necklaces with a homespun feel and the trademark conical hats. Judging from the early images, the looks with their relaxed silhouettes and the use of the signature Marni polka-dot print are sure to draw huge crowds.
“I wanted to create a true Marni wardrobe by revisiting all our favorite pieces in signature fabrics and prints. As always, I love juxtaposing prints and colors, mixing modern tribal with Bauhaus graphic adding sporty utilitarian elements,” said the designer.
The Marni for H&M collection will be in stores worldwide on March 8, 2012. Until that day comes, check the video below to get a peek at what’s coming from the collaboration.

Star Style - Rob Kardashian
Robert Kardashian Jr was seen exiting “Good Morning America” in New York City last week. He sported a grey Keeping up with the Kardashians hoodie, sweatpants, and a pair of navy and red Yves Saint Laurent multicolored high-tops from the Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.
I really like his relaxed look.

Industrie #4 : Franca Sozzani by Terry Richardson
Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani fronts the fourth issue of Industrie, which hits newsstands next week.
Styled by Katie Grand in an ultra-shiny leather jacket, with her wilty blonde hair tucked underneath the collar, and photographed by Terry Richardson straight-on against a white background, the cover shows off Franca in her wacky and wonderful prime.
I'm sure Terry Richardson would have preferred to capture Franca licking dustbunnies off the floor or draping her face in raw Ahi Tuna steak, but he's really so much better when he's forced to show a little restraint. Kudos to him and Katie for spotlighting Franca as herself—well-intentioned and a little careless, like a child trapped inside a fashion editor's body.
