Kingfisher Calendar Babe goes nude for a shoe ad!

Only a few films old Shaurya Chauhan, is all ready to take risks in the initial stages of her career.

Till now this model turned actress has experimented vividly with her roles, which range from lead and character oriented to some sizzling item numbers. And now, she along with Bunny Anand- who is on the threshold of his career with Veer and Lamha yet to release, have become the face of a shoe brand..

Interestingly, the advertisement will showcase the duo in the most sensuous avatar. Our reliable sources reveal, “Shaurya and Bunny have already shot for the ad where the duo has oozed out oodles of sexuality by draping nothing except a thin cloth over them.”.

Shaurya has appeared in ‘Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar’ shot by ace lensman Atul Kasbekar. Bunny has not attempted something of this sort before. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see the chemistry between the two on screen. .

However, one query, which still remains unanswered, is what has sensuality to do with shoes. Well, that remains for everyone to wait and watch. “Soon, the hoardings will be posted all over,” the source, signs off.

Oracle, Sun Deal Approved By Justice Dept.

The Justice Department ruling came earlier than expected, a possible response to Sun Microsystems' declining revenues in a steep recession.

By Charles Babcock

Oracle (NSDQ: ORCL) announced late Thursday that the U.S. Department of Justice has approved its proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems (NSDQ: JAVA).

The European Commission has still to rule on the deal, a step that will be required before it can close. That body has indicated it will issue an initial opinion on Sept. 3, according to the Wall Street Journal. It may OK the deal at that time or launch a four-month probe of it.

Oracle had originally hoped to complete the acquisition in August. Sun shareholders on July 16 approved the $5.6 billion deal by a wide enough margin for the Justice Department to terminate the waiting period normally required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Oracle announced the planned acquisition in April.

The Justice Department ruling came earlier than expected, a possible response to Sun's declining revenues and precarious business position in a steep recession, as the required reviews proceeded.

The antitrust unit of the department announced a second round of review into the ramifications of the deal in June. That round was completed promptly for DOJ's approval to be announced Thursday.

One antitrust concern was that Oracle will become the owner of the widely used Java programming language. Oracle's database and middleware competitors, such as IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), rely on Java.

Oracle will also acquire the Solaris operating system, a portfolio of Java middleware and the open source database system, MySQL, in the acquisition.

Burton Group analyst Nik Simpson said in a July Webcast that Sun's hardware business was "between a rock and hard place." Rock, noting it was the code name for Sun's next generation of UltraSparc servers. UltraSparc sales "never really recovered from the Dotcom bust," he said during the Webcast.

In the most recent quarter, hardware sales were down 33%. Sun's design project for its next generation UltraSparc architecture, code named "Rock," has been cancelled, according to numerous reports. "That leaves them without a next-generation architecture," Simpson said.

As a result, HP (NYSE: HPQ) and IBM have been making offers aimed squarely at migrating UltraSparc server users to their own brands of hardware.

The U.S. Department of Justice has approved Oracle's acquisition of Java and other assets in its $5.6 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems.

Kaminey

"Watching Kaminey on big screen is something else" - Priyanka Chopra
"We are very afraid that piracy may affect our collections," says a concerned Priyanka Chopra because Kaminey is not releasing in Mumbai and Pune this Friday due to the Swine Flu scare. "As a citizen I'm worried (about Swine Flu), we all have to be careful and cautious. I hope once it's over people will come and watch the film." As has been reported earlier, due to the Maharashtra Government shutting theatres in Mumbai and Pune, Kaminey shall not be releasing before Sunday.

"The critics have really loved the film and we are hoping that people won't indulge in piracy and instead actually watch the film in theatres because the experience of watching Kaminey with its sound quality on big screen is something else. It will never be the same on pirated version. It's my request, we've put in our blood, heart and soul in the film, just support us, support the film, do justice to the movie," says Priyanka earnestly.

New Tatto by Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga shows off new tattoo in Japan

Pop star Lady Gaga showed off her new tattoo on her arm during her trip to Japan.

The ‘Poker Face’ hit maker has inked a curling script in German, which is attributed to the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who the star has named as her “favorite philosopher”.

“It says ”In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?” When you are an artist, your solitude is a lonely place that you embrace,” Contact music quoted Gaga as saying.

The 23-year-old is currently touring Asia to promote her debut album, The Fame.

If You Could Have One Beauty Superpower, What Would It Be?
Ever wished you could just snap your fingers and have perfect makeup on in the morning? Or been in one of those situations where the new blush you love doesn't actually complement any of your other makeup, but you can't just buy all new eyeliner and lipstick? Then you, my friend, need a superpower. I know it's silly, but just stick with me for a minute here. The same way a regular superpower you'd choose says a lot about your personality (people who'd want to be telepaths usually care a great deal about what others think, for example), the beauty superpower you want tells you what's missing in your beauty routine. Tell me what yours is and let's discuss what it all means—we can even help each other out to find some good solutions.

If You Could Have One Beauty Superpower, What Would It Be?
1- Insta-makeup
2- Always having the perfect shade on hand for any outfit, season, or event
3- Total concealer—blemishes, bags, etc. vanish

Sexy Abstinence Shirts

Love It or Leave It?


Abstinence-only advocates have finally come to the realization that sex sells, so they've decided to make their message more sexy. The Candie's Foundation, a group on a mission to educate America's youth about the devastating consequences of teenage pregnancy, teamed up with Seventeen magazine to come up with a new slogan for t-shirts that promote abstinence. The winning slogan — "I'm sexy enough to keep you waiting" — has been printed on a tight-fitting tank top and put on sale for $15. Part of me feels like this shirt is counterproductive because it very publicly sexualizes the girl wearing it, but then again it might make teens more comfortable with the idea of holding off on sex.
