Salman to appear in KJo's show
Karan Johar is wooing Salman Khan. And has succeeded to an extent. It is learnt that the actor has agreed to be part of Karan's TV show in its third season.
The last time KJo asked him to sit on the infamous couch, the actor said he would do it only if he was given Rs 50 lakh for his charity foundation. The My Name Is Khan director told him that the channel wouldn't pay but he would be happy to shell out the money from his own pocket. However, the talks fizzled out.
Now KJo who is shooting the final few episodes for this season, asked Salman for the last time if he would appear on the show, and the temperamental actor said he would do it, and also gave temporary dates for the shoot, either 30th or 31st March. Apparently, Karan and the channel have donated over Rs 50 lakh to Salman's charity foundation. Incidentally, no other guest on the show has been paid for making an appearance.
According to sources, the filmmaker has also offered a role to the actor, which he is considering. This is interesting because so far Khan who lives in Galaxy has been wary of Karan because of his friendship to the Khan who lives in Mannat. Now that the director has managed to get Sallu to say yes to the show, and a 'maybe' to the film, next step is a patch between the warring Khans? Let's hope so.

Why is no one having coffee with Karan?
TV Channel will have to resort to re-runs, as Johar ponders over who to invite for the last few episodes of this season
Koffee with Karan, the popular television chat show is in a bit of a crisis. About five episodes are still left to be shot for this season, but there is nothing in the bank to fall back on. Insiders blame Karan Johar's constant visits to New York that has pushed them behind schedule, but sources reveal that Johar is also out of ideas on whom to invite for the few remaining shows.
The channel which hosts the show might now play re-runs of episodes.
According to a source in the film industry, the problem of not having enough episodes shot beforehand has arisen out of two reasons.
The source said, "It isn't only because of Johar's frequent foreign visits. He has also brought together almost every conceivable pair of guests on the show. When he invited Amitabh Bachchan, he got daughter Shweta to come along. And when Madhuri Dixit came on the show, she was paired with Sonakshi Sinha. But now Johar is out of ideas. He can get anyone he wants. But he is unsure of how to make them appear fresh and untried on the show."
Sources reveal that after Johar got Ajay Devgn to appear on the show, he is convincing Salman Khan to make an appearance. Dharmendra is apparently being wooed to come along with Hema Malini. Imran Khan and his wife are likely to be guests too in what will be their first interview as a couple.
"I'm not confirming any names till I have recorded episodes with them. Yes, I went to NY and we ran out of episodes. But I have a life beyond Koffee With Karan. I have a script to write and a film to direct. There will be some re-runs till I record fresh episodes," Johar said.
Meanwhile, Johar's frequent visits to NY have sparked off rumours that he is dating someone in the city. When asked Johar said, "Yes I have a secret love in NY. I love the city itself. Nowadays I romance places not people."
The director also confirmed that he will take a break from the chat show for at least two years. "I'm done with Koffee and my other extra-curricular activities for now. In case people have forgotten, I'm a filmmaker."

Has Ayan ditched Ranbir for Shahid?
Rumour has it that the director is planning a film with Shahid, instead of best friend Ranbir
Is Wake Up Sid director Ayan Mukerjee working with Ranbir 'Sid' Kapoor again or is he making a film with Shahid Kapoor? It's the most talked-about dosti in the film industry after Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar. Mukherjee, hitherto known as Kapoor's best friend, is now being seen with Shahid. The buzz is that Mukherjee has decided to direct his next film, with Shahid instead.
An actress who is close to Kapoor agrees. "Who has the time to cultivate friendships without a professional agenda? Do you think Shah Rukh and Karan would have time for each other if they weren't working together?"
Mukerjee was present for Shahid's birthday bash two weeks ago. "They go out for movies and hang out in each others' homes," a source added.
Kapoor, who was shooting for Rockstar in Kashmir the past few weeks, is oblivious of the developments. A friend of his said, "Ranbir is not sentimental or possessive about his friends. If Mukerjee chooses to work with another actor, Ranbir is hardly going to sit and mourn the loss."
Karan Johar who is producing his protege Mukerjee's second film, is blase about the director's new dosti. "Why read hidden agendas into every relationship? If Ayan is hanging out with Shahid, they could just be bonding without work on their mind. As far as I know Ayan's next is with Ranbir. Until Ayan tells me otherwise, I've no reason to think his plans have changed."

Imran Khan will sport two hairdos for his next
Imran Khan will sport two hairdos for his next film Short Term Shaadi with Kareena
Imran Khan will adopt two new looks in a movie for the first time in Karan Johar's Dharma Production flick Short Term Shaadi.
Imran sports a formal look in the first half of the film while the look in the second half is funky
A source said, "Imran plays a rigid, conservative and fussy architect in the film who falls in love with Kareena Kapoor, a liaison which changes him completely.
Kareena plays a hairstylist who teaches him about life and love. The film has been shot in Las Vegas and India and will be directed by Shakun Batra."
The looks
The source revealed, "In the first half, Imran has slightly longer, gelled back hair. It's a formal classic hairstyle with longer sideburns and side parting something Imran has not done before.
In the second half, Imran goes for a funkier and cooler look similar to I Hate Luv Storys."
Kareena the stylist
According to sources, Kareena had to learn some hairstyling for her role in the film so that the on-screen sequences did not look fake and Imran would always sportingly agree to whatever she wanted to experiment on him.
"She learned some hairstyling from her stylist (Pompy)," informs Imran.
While, in the film, Kareena styles Imran's hair, in real life and for all his films, it's his good friend Ayesha who has done the look.
"Ayesha has been styling my hair ever since my first film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. She has worked on both my looks in Short Term Shaadi too."
Imran was excited about the looks he is donning for the film.
He said, "The film takes place in a compressed time frame of a little more than a week and deals with how my character changes within that short span of time."
"In the first half, my character is prim, proper and very fussy about the way his life should be.
I wear starched, neatly ironed outfits and formal three-piece suits with polished shoes. My hair is always neatly combed.
Kareena enters my life and gives me a cool makeover and a different, spicier hairstyle. She comes into my dull and drab life like a breath of fresh air and makes me see things differently," he elaborated.
