Former 'X Factor' judge Sharon Osbourne has slammed former rival Dannii Minogue for her affair with fellow judge Simon Cowell.
	In her tell-all autobiography 'Unbroken', Sharon has taken potshots at Dannii Minogue. She alleges that the Australian singer stopped speaking to Sharon shortly after her relationship with Simon began, reported the Mirror.
	"Outwardly, Dannii seemed all 'Ooh, I love kids and puppies. But in my opinion she was dark, very dark. What you saw was definitely not what you got," the 60-year-old writes in her autobiography, out on October 10.
	Sharon claims Dannii stared straight past her even when Sharon said she wanted to "bury the hatchet".
	Though in the end, Sharon decided not to renew her contract with 'X Factor' due to monetary reasons, she claims Dannii was also a reason.
	"There I was - a successful businesswoman, a mum, a wife, and established as a show judge - being made out to be jealous of a young, single woman who, as far as I am concerned, can't sing ..

Singer Jessie J wants to excel at whatever role she gets to play in life.
	The 25-year-old 'Price Tag' hitmaker says she wants to be great as a friend, sister or a daughter as these roles are important in her life, reported Contactmusic.
	"I want everybody to think I'm a hard worker as an aunt, a sister, a friend, a daughter, a niece, everything. I want to be great at every role, because every role in my life is as important as being Jessie J," she said.
	The singer also criticised dual faced stars.
	"I won't mention no names, but I've met artists who are so 'on it' when they're on camera, or on stage, so the audience and the media thinks that they're like that. When you see them come off stage, then they're mean, they're miserable and they're late," she added.

Country singer Taylor Swift prefers not to pay attention to all the negative and positive feedback coming her way as it may lead her to insanity.
	The 23-year-old singer does not like to obsess about herself by regularly reading about her life and music, reported Contactmusic.
	"You can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things, either way you're obsessed with yourself and I'm not - you can become unhinged so easily," Swift said.
	"Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything. The little I am exposed to hurts my feelings. The only things I can really control are my songs and my behaviour. The rest? If I focused on it that would lead to insanity," she added.
	The 'Love Story' hitmaker insists that despite criticisms, a celebrity can still prove to be a good role model.
	"There's room for role models who make mistakes. There's clearly room for role models who are made fun of at award shows," she said.
	"Not that I .

Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia's upcoming film 'Bullett Raja' stars Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha and he says he has tried to present the leading actors in a very different avatar from their earlier films.
	Saif, who has played an urban youth in films like 'Cocktail', 'Hum Tum' and 'Salaam Namaste', will be seen in a different kind of a role in 'Bullett Raja'.
	"Saif's image is that of an urban kind, so we have shown through his gestures the way he (rural guy) would do it - like holding a glass of water or handshake. We were careful that Saif doesn't look like an urban guy in this film. His contribution is huge in this film," Tigmanshu told PTI in an interview here.
	"While shooting we worked on language and accent. Even though Saif was making mistakes in the accent, we were like we will make it better while dubbing. We are sure Saif will look like the 'rangeela' of UP (Uttar Pradesh)," he said.

'Midnight in Paris' star Tom Hiddleston, who plays God of Mischief Loki in 'Thor' movies, wants his character to have a romantic angle.

	"When I was first reading the comics, the relationship with the Enchantress was one of the really fun things I thought would be good to explore, and may have even pitched it to Kevin Feige at some point," the 32-year-old star told Total Film.
	"They basically had a really fantastic and twisted relationship until they both say, 'You know what? I don't trust you as far as I can throw you. ..

	The 57-year-old "Saving Private Ryan" star feels that violence nowadays gets presented in a very glamorous manner in the movies, reported Contatcmusic.
	"We got into another era where it becomes the kind of glamorous it can be to fire guns and blow up buildings and stuff like that," Hanks said.

	The Academy-award-winning actor, however, finds the James Bond films fabulous.
	"While there's always room for a fabulous James Bond movie with a great action sequence in it, there is without doubt another type of film out there that is not that interested in it, there's no moralisation that goes on, and I simply don't choose to see them," he said.

Did you know that Suchitra Sen and Gulzar addressed each other as 'Sir'?
	In an interesting anecdote in her book "Uttam Kumar And Suchitra Sen: Bengali Cinemas First Couple", author Maitreyee B Chowdhury says that Suchitra used to be addressed as 'Sir' by Gulzar, not much out of respect as out of humour.
	"While working on 'Aandhi' (1975), Gulzar resorted to calling her 'Sir', in retaliation to her persistently calling him so, despite being friends. Such was Suchitra's persona," she writes.
	The book also says that M F Husain drew a sketch of Suchitra based on her pictures and named it 'Mystique'.
	According to Chowdhury, "Aandhi" gave Suchitra the kind of adulation and respect that she had always desired as an actor.
	"Gulzar says that he was aware of Suchitra's strong persona and he conceived the role especially for her. Suchitra wanted to dub for 'Aandhi' in her own voice - a wish to prove her Hindi diction. Though her Hindi diction in the film had scope for much improvement, ...
