John, Bips team up for an item number

The much-in-the-news Bipasha-John pair is very much together. Though the duo refuses to comment on their relationship, Bipasha Basu confirmed they have come together for a sizzling item song in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking .

"I don't think I want to talk about my personal life any more. What's happening there is for me to know. But, yes, John and I have come together professionally again after 'Goal', this time with an item song in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking ," Bipasha said.

But it wasn't the presence of John Abraham that impelled Bipasha to accept the song.

"Certainly not! It was Vishal Bharadwaj, the man who gave me two of my best item numbers - Beedi and Namak in Omkara . He told me about the item song in No Smoking at the IIFA (International Indian Film Academy awards) in Yorkshire. After what the Omkara numbers did to my stage presence, I promptly said yes to Vishal."

What about the danger of being branded an item girl?

"When have I cared about my image?" Bipasha shrugged. "And besides I've full faith in the intelligence of the film industry, also my audiences. By now they know what I'm capable of, and it's not just items."

Bipasha is now looking forward to shaking a leg with John for No Smoking .

"Though we've done songs before, John and I have never done this kind of sizzling number before. Vishal has pulled out all stops in the composition."

Bipasha is sure the number will be a rage.

"John and I will have fun dancing to it. I love the tune. Hopefully, it'll be another number to bring the house down at my stage concerts."

The duo will be seen together after a long time in Vivek Agnihotri's Goal .

Bipasha lashes out again

Bipasha Basu isn't enjoying the way her relationship with John Abraham is being linked to her absence in the new commercial, the brand they both endorse.

"People can say what they like. They do that anyway, no matter what explanations we give. John and I are not answerable to anyone," Bipasha said.

Regarding the speculation about John doing the shampoo ad with another model, Bipasha said: "When we signed the contract for the shampoo we didn't even know we'd be doing any of their ads together."

Bipasha and John, who will be seen together in "Goal" after a long gap, signed their contracts separately.

"And my association with that brand of shampoo continues. At this point of time John and I are advertising different brands of shampoo. So the question of me being replaced in the new ad doesn't arise.

"People can continue to speculate as much as they like. It doesn't bother me."

In fact, the loose talk about the status of her relationship with John has begun to annoy her.

"Let them say what they like. My life is mine alone. I'm answerable only to myself, my family and my close friends. Beyond that, does it really matter?

"What I'm doing in my personal life shouldn't be of any consequence to anyone except me. I mean no harm to anyone. So why harm me with such endless speculation?"

The gossipmongers have been going to town with the now-off-now-on observations.

"Precious news space shouldn't be wasted on such trivia. There's so much more worth writing about. From now I won't discuss my private life in print."

Bipasha caught kissing Ronaldo

With the new seven wonders list being announced Bipa sha has grabbed back headlines so much so that she has to give explanation to the unguarded acts that were caught on camera by media. Star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and Bipasha got really cozy with each other during the post-event party. Digital Spy quoted a sources saying, “Cristiano and Bipasha were all over each other. If he has got a girlfriend she was the last thing on his mind. They were kissing and he was being very tender, cupping her face and staring into her eyes.” So did Bips deny the news? She didn’t instead she said, Yes it is me (in the picture). The picture was taken at an opportune moment and taken out of context and again it looks like a case of irresponsible assumptions.” Let us see what John Abraham has to say on this. Well, well, well Bips, I guess Bollywood has to get used to public kissing sessions after all!
