Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wallpapers 2
Aishwarya Rai: wallpaper
This is what the original author says:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or Aishwarya Bachchan (Birth name: Aishwarya Rai; Tulu: ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯಾ ರೈ; born November 1, 1973) is an internationally renowned Indian actress. Before starting her acting career, she worked as a model, and gained fame after winning the Miss World contest in 1994.
Often touted as the most beautiful woman in the world, Rai made her movie debut in Mani Ratnam's Tamil film, Iruvar (1997). She had her first commercial success in the Tamil movie Jeans (1998), and came to the attention of Bollywood in the Hindi movie, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Her performance in the film won her the Filmfare Best Actress Award, and she successfully performed in Bhansali's next project, Devdas (2002), for which she won her second Best Actress Award at the Filmfare. Since then, she has acted in over forty movies in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and English.
Rachana Maurya
Rachana Maurya, the beautiful dame, did item numbers like Didar De and Aashiq Banaya remix with Himesh Reshmiya. She is one of the hottest and talented new babes to be noted in tinsel town. No wonder, Rachana Maurya is also the hot chick in “saari saari raat jagaye…” in Iqrrar By Chance.
As it happens with established celebrity women, while shooting for an album, the hot babe had to face a wardrobe malfunction. “Well I had to tackle the problem. So I continued shooting in my bra!” she said and added, “I know it was a situation where we would not have had much choice except wind up the shoot. And I did not want such a thing to happen. Hence, I shot the video in my bra. The video is aesthetic and not a wee bit vulgar.”
However, her wardrobe malfunction did not create much of noise as it happened with Janet Jackson or others from Hollywood. Maybe shooting in bra is not a big deal when today’s films and videos are full of much skimpy outfits that are not even talked about.

Shilpa Shetty has started her own production house. In her new endeavor, her beau has helped her a lot, it is reported. Soon she will also be seen in a Hollywood project titled “Quantum of Science”.

Britney Spears returns to her braless ways
It is only natural that Britney Spears should have the odd slip up once in a while. In recent weeks, she made a wonderful return to form and her fans appreciated it, and critics applauded her.
A gossiper brayed that now she is back to her old braless ways as she 'nips' out to Millennium Dance Complex in LA for a workout. He wrote, “I hope she put some underwear on before prancing around. A pair of black eyes would not be a good look ahead of the MTV Awards next week”.

As shown in online sports registration lists in
The Chinese women won the team gold among six total medals at the Beijing Games. He Kexin, the 14 year old girl won the gold in the uneven bars.
The International Olympic Committee has asked the world governing body for gymnastics to investigate whether members of the Chinese women’s team were qualified to compete in the Olympics in view of their age. The I.O.C. instructed the international gymnastics federation, F.I.G., to take up the issue with the Chinese gymnastics federation and report back to the I.O.C. later Friday last.
“More information has been brought to light and brought to our attention, so we decided to go to the federation and have them look into it further,” said Emmanuelle Moreau, a spokeswoman for the I.O.C. “We had been given some more information and thought that this information was concerning enough to go to the Chinese gymnastic federation and have a thorough discussion about it.” Reliable sources and reports said the under-aged Chinese gymnasts might lose their medals.

IOC’s Media Relations Manager in Beijing, Emmanuelle Moreau, said that the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) would be responding to the IOC Saturday, Beijing time. “Bear with me for a few more hours,” Moreau said.
“We requested the FIG to look into the matter when we received further information and evidence from various sources, including the media,” Moreau said. “We expect them (FIG) to come back with some new information. When we have that, we will [discuss] with executives … to take necessary action. We have a group within the IOC to look into cases like this, should we have evidence.”
