After showing almost all of her boobs to Gulshan Grover in her debut flick Boom, Katrina has realized how Bollywood works and will never do kissing scenes in movies and neither will she wear a bikini.
A friend of Katrina says, “Katrina has said no to kissing scenes in all her films barring New York. And believe me, the directors are very keen to see her kiss her co-stars. Katrina cleverly keeps dodging all the so-called must-kiss scenes. She is a very conservative girl at heart. In fact, when reports claimed that she was going to wear a bikini in Dostana 2, a la Priyanka Chopra in the first Dostana, Katrina protested violently and made it clear to producer Karan Johar and director Tarun Mansukhani: no exposure, no kissing.”
Katrina talking about her controversial scenes in her debut flick Boom, says, “I don’t deny I’ve done scenes in the past where I did things that I wasn’t comfortable with. But now I won’t. I just don’t feel comfortable doingkissing scenes, or for that matter, wearing a bikini on screen.”
Katrina also did not kiss Ranbir in Rajneeti even as the director tried to convince her, confirming this, KAtrina says, , “It’s true. I’m not at all comfortable doingkissing scenes. Call me a prude or conservative. I just don’t feel kissing scenes jell well with our audiences. So no kissing scenes for me.”
Katrina is currently filming for Rajneeti opposite Ranbir KApoor where she is portraying the character of Sonia Gandhi.

Dancing Queen Kirsten Dunst whoops it up Las Vegas after being dropped from Spider-Man

Having been dropped from the Spider-Man franchise, Kirsten Dunst appears to have a little more time on her hands.
So with no filming to do on the fourth movie, the actress decided to make the most of her unexpected break by living it up in Las Vegas.
The 27-year-old Hollywood beauty took to the stage with a friend inside a club and delighted party-goers with a little dance.

Minutes later she grabbed her pal in a headlock and gave the 'v' sign at photographers before lighting up a cigarette.
Her holiday in Vegas comes after Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire sensationally quit, weeks before the fourth film in the super-hero series was due to start filming.
Sony Pictures and Marvel now plan to take the billion dollar franchise in a new direction which will see the next movie focus on Peter Parker in high school, dealing with human issues as well as super-human predicaments.

Neither Maguire, 34, nor Sam Raimi, the director behind all three of the Spider-Man films will now be involved in the fourth instalment, along with Dunst, who played Mary Jane Watson, love interest of the crime fighter’s alter ego, Peter Parker.
With a new cast set to be brought on board, Dunst revealed she was sad the films in their current form had come to an end.
She told E! Online: 'It's sad to see it end. I think for Sam it was time for him to move on, and so we're all going to move on with him. But we've had a good ten years.'

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios said they will delay a fourth film by one year and return in 2012 with a new story, new director and new cast.
The previous trio of movies, starting with 2002's Spider-Man have raked in roughly $2.5 billion at the box office.
And tens of millions more have been yielded in profits from product licensing, toy sales and other merchandise revenues.

That's magic! Harry Potter star Emma Watson is named Hollywood's highest paid actress

Top earner: Harry Potter actress Emma Watson was the highest paid female star in Hollywood in 2009
Top earner: Despite trying to maintain a normal life Harry Potter actress Emma Watson was the highest paid female star in Hollywood in 2009
She may have put her acting career on hold to carve out a 'normal' life for herself by attending university, but that hasn't stopped Emma Watson from being named as the highest paid female star in Hollywood.
The 19-year-old earned more than established stars such as Cameron Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker on a list of Hollywood's top 40 earners.
Her 2009 income was put at £20million in the inaugural list compiled by Vanity Fair magazine.
The magazine said her fee for appearing in the final two parts of the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, was £10million.
Watson, who is studying at a U.S. university in Rhode Island, has also picked up lucrative advertising contracts and is the face of fashion chain Burberry.
She has also launched her own range of fair-trade clothing through a company called People Tree.
As well as earning more than any other actress she is also the youngest star on the list.
Her Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe fared even better and was placed sixth with an income of £25.6million.
Incredibly, the 20-year-old was the highest paid actor on the list with the top five places all occupied by directors.
Radcliffe's bank balance has been swelled by a guest appearance in an advert to be shown during the Super Bowl game this coming Sunday.
He features in a spot for the new Hogwarts theme park opening at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, later this year.
The magazine, which compiled its list from various sources, said Radcliffe pulled in £23.3million for his role in the final two Harry Potter films and a further £634,000 for merchandise linked to the series of books by J.K Rowling.

 
Radcliffe, who has used some of his earning to build up a property portfolio in the UK and U.S., earned more than old hands such as Johnny Depp and Robert De Niro.
The top 40 list was topped by director Michael Bay, who made the Transformers film.
