Madame Tussauds denies Kareena Kapoor rumour

A wax model of Kareena Kapoor is not scheduled to feature at Madame Tussauds, an official has confirmed.

A spokesperson from the London attraction told DS that current media reports regarding Kapoor's inclusion are false.

"Madame Tussauds London can confirm that a figure of Kareena Kapoor will not be launched at the attraction this year," the spokesperson revealed. "In January of this year, a figure of Hrithik Roshan was launched, so we are very much concentrating all our efforts on this activity for 2011."

The company stated that it has already decided which figures will be included in its museums up until the end of 2012.

"Madame Tussauds now operates 12 global attractions and are delighted that Bollywood fans are able to visit their idols in other locations," the official continued. "We are sure an announcement regarding the next Bollywood star to have the honour of being immortalised at Madame Tussauds will follow shortly when it is appropriate to do so."

Kareena Kapoor 'to have Madame Tussauds model'

Kareena Kapoor is said to be the next Hindi film star to get a wax replica displayed at Madame Tussauds.
Kapoor will be the newest Bollywood star at the London attraction, following Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

A source for The Times of India said: "[Kapoor's] thrilled, but doesn't want to confirm before going through all the formalities.

"After meeting the Tussauds management she will then sit with the creative team and decide the look for the figure. There will be measurements taken and then the process begins."

The actress, who is presently undertaking filming commitments in south India, is expected to travel to the UK shortly to sit for the model-making process.

"She's in Pondicherry shooting with Aamir [Khan] for Reema Katgi's film and her schedule is pretty packed. However, she plans to take time out and head to the UK," added the insider.

Hrithik Roshan's recently-unveiled waxwork model was launched by the actor in January.

Kareena Kapoor 'refuses to endorse chicken'

Kareena Kapoor has turned down the offer of becoming a brand ambassador for a chicken product.

The actress, once voted the world's sexiest vegetarian by PETA, is known to be a strict vegetarian, reports Mumbai Mirror.

"If my fans are looking up to me and have turned vegetarians then I am happy about it. I am a pure vegetarian and it helps me keep fit and healthy," Kapoor said.

After winning the PETA award in 2008 following an appearance in a bikini in a Yash Raj film, the actor announced: "I am aware that my fans have liked my look in Tashan. If they turn vegetarian for that, then I am glad I set an example."

Kapoor recently asked the director of Short Term Shaadi to change the script so that she would not have to eat scrambled eggs in a scene.

The Jab We Met star is also credited with persuading actor Vivek Oberoi to give up meat.

Dabanng star Sonu Sood last week posed shirtless for a vegetarian campaign for PETA.

Kareena Kapoor 'insists on branding'

Kareena Kapoor allegedly threw a tantrum on the set of Bodyguard after she was asked to use a different netbook on set from the one she promotes in advertisements.

The actress is currently a brand ambassador for a so-called 'size zero' Indian netbook.

A source told Mumbai Mirror: "When a netbook of another make was given to her, she threw a fit and refused to shoot.

"She even went as far as to insist that the 'size zero' netbook be used in all her scenes in the film."

Kapoor confirmed that she used the same netbook in every scene because of her loyalty towards the brand.

The Kurbaan star is known for her sponsorship deal with companies in India, including the retail chain Globus, the scooter firm Mahindra and the handbag line LAVIE.

She can be seen using the computer in the upcoming romantic film co-starring Salman Khan, which is a Bollywood remake of a Malayalam hit.

Kareena is extremely upset with Deepika

Kareena Kapoor upset about Deepika Padukone spreading rumours that she was original choice for a track in Ra.One

Having an actress pitted against another has become the rage nowadays. The latest lass to bite the bait is Deepika Padukone, who has Kareena Kapoor in the opposite end of the ring.

Says a source, "Recently, Dippy has been telling anyone willing to hear that she was the original choice for the Chamak Challo dance number in Ra.One and that producer Shah Rukh Khan had her in mind for the item number.

And that Bebo threw a fit when she heard of it. Kapoor is upset and feels Dippy is only doing this to gain mileage from the Dum Maaro Dum title track."

A source close to Bebo insists, "Chamak Challo is not even an item number. Kareena is the film's heroine and the song is part of the story so how can Deepika even be considered?

These rumours amuse Bebo. DP may be spreading this rumour as her DMD track isn't the hit it was touted to be."

Ra.One director Anubhav Sinha says, "We never approached Deepika for an item song. Chamak Challo is an integral part of the story.

The song will be catchy, glamorous and sexy but it's not an item song, which are usually random additions that don't need a story."

SOMETHING SIMILAR...

Not too long ago, Katrina Kaif was supposedly pitting herself against Bebo, who shrugged it off even then. The 'catfight' died a natural death.
