Kylie Minogue's Festive Album

The Australian singer, Kylie Minogue is all geared up for the upcoming festival, Christmas.
The pop star says that if she gets to see a white Christmas this year she will react like a five year old.

Kylie who has come out with a new album, 'Let It Snow', a cover of the 1945 classic, this festive season has said that,” I think it’s kind of ironic that I’m singing 'Let It Snow' being an Australian for we don’t have snow at Christmas time. So if in fact it does snow whilst I’m in New York this year, I’ll be like a five year old kid, I’ll be so excited.”

Kylie Minogue, the Australian singer, says that it is summer in Australia and by making this album she has turned out to be very ironic as it will never snow during Christmas. She said,”It’s always a big thrill for me to be on the side of the world where it’s a white Christmas.”

The singer is having a live in relationship with Spanish boyfriend and model, Andres Velencoso, whom she was dating since July, 2008. She said that,”I’m so happy, This year has been full of lots of lovely sparkling new things. Me and Andres have just set up home in a new place. It’s slightly bigger. But we are having to furnish and decorate from scratch again. The new place is more appropriate for my current situation and my family.”

Apparently the average man spends 54 per cent of the first ten seconds of a new meeting gazing at a woman’s pout.

Wearing make-up dramatically increases the attraction factor for women with men spending 6.7 seconds of the first ten seconds (67 per cent of the time) looking at lips with pink lipstick, and 7.3 seconds (73 per cent) looking at lips painted red Manchester University found.

The research marks the launch of QVC Beauty, a TV channel dedicated solely to beauty and we’ve  put together a gallery of our top ten trout pouted ladies.

Kareena Kapoor has record number of festival period releases

Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar may have set their eyes on Christmas with Taare Zameen Par/Welcome [2007], Ghajini/Jumbo [2008], 3 Idiots [2009] and Tees Maar Khan [2010]. Salman Khan may have captured his Eid slot with Wanted [2009], Dabangg [2010] and Bodyguard [2011]. But Kareena isn't content with just one festival. She wants them all and is pretty much having her way as well.

Says a veteran trade observer, "After all Diwali and Christmas have turned out to be most beneficial for filmmakers due to long holiday period as well as general mood of celebrations and festivities. People don't mind spending money and if a film is indeed made well, the makers and the actors benefit the most. It is crystal clear that while all the men are fighting it out amongst themselves when it comes to festive releases, Kareena is enjoying the best of all seasons. Well, literally."

There are facts to substantiate this claim. This year her Golmaal 3 released on Diwali. Last year her 3 Idiots had arrived on Christmas while Main Aurr Mrs Khanna had released on Diwali. In 2008, her Golmaal Returns had made a splash on Diwali while Jab We Met in 2007 too had released just a few days before Diwali. Even earlier, her films like Don - The Chase Begins Again [Diwali 2006], Dosti - Friends Forever [Christmas 2005] and Aitraaz [Diwali 2004] had benefited by arriving in the festive season.

"Somehow this fact never got highlighted as all the rivalry seemed to be hero-centric. However, Kareena has been quietly enjoying her stint when it comes to the release of her biggies. Now the going only seems to be perfect for her in near future as well with her newer films eyeing the best available slots", continues the observer.

As things stand today, Kareena can well enjoy quite a few celebrations coming her way in the festival season ahead. Come 2011 and she would be occupying both Eid [Bodyguard] as well as the Diwali [Ra. One] slots. Though Christmas season currently has only one confirmed release - the sequel to Shah Rukh Khan's Don, it would be interesting to see if Kareena brings one of her movies along then.

"Well, one can never be too sure about such things", smiles Kareena who is obviously elated with this 'feat', "Yes, Golmaal 3 was always planned for a Diwali release and it's blockbuster success has made us all feel good about the effort that we all had to put to ensure that the deadline was met."

Now with declaration coming in that Salman Khan would most definitely bring in Bodyguard on Eid 2011, Kareena knows that it is going to be quite some hard work ahead.

"I would soon be beginning shoot for the Karan Johar film with Imran (Khan)", she talks about (tentatively titled) Short Term Shaadi here, "Meanwhile, Ra. One and Agent Vinod too have to be wrapped up. With Bodyguard coming in as well, it is going to be some really busy months ahead. But yes, it does feel great to be arriving on festive dates year after year."

Since Ra. One has already been confirmed for Diwali 2011, one wonders when would her film with Saif Ali Khan, Agent Vinod, eventually release. The tentative plans as of now are for May 2011 but it won't be surprising if the makers pick the long Independence Day weekend for the release. 15th August falls on a Monday and a 12th August release would give them a 4 day long weekend here, hence adding on to continued celebrations for Kareena. In between all of this, she would also be kick starting her new film with Aamir Khan. As for Short Term Shaadi, how about Christmas 2011?

Some food for thought Kareena? After all it could well be a record waiting to make an entry into the Guinness!
