Deepika cheers Yuvraj in Australia

Deepika Padukone has flown to Australia to cheer 'close friend' Yuvraj Singh in the ongoing four-match India-Australia Test series. The Om Shanti Om actress will also celebrate her 22nd birthday on January 5 with the cricketer. Deepika is expected to spend a month in Australia for the shooting of her Yash Raj film. But the actress left Mumbai two days before the start of her shooting schedule (which will begin on January 7) to spend time with Yuvraj. "She wanted to cheer him up and also spend quality time with him on her birthday," our source tells Gullu. Yuvi would definitely need the cheering after his dismal performance against the Aussies, having managed just 17 runs in three innings so far. Deepika and Yuvraj have been linked up by the media on numerous occasions, though the couple have always mainatined that they are 'good friends.' Before Yuvraj came into the picture, Deepika was paired up with Indian captain M S Dhoni , but she denied that as well.

Celina Jaitley in Sari

This has got be the funniest thing in the sequel of Golmaal. The half-Indian half-Afghani Christian-Muslim, Celina Jaitley, plays a traditional Tamilian housewife in Rohit Shetty's Phir Golmaal. Draped in a nine-yard sari with flowers in her hair and the 'Aiyyo Appas' on her lips, Celina seems to have come a long way from her bikini-in-the-water avatar in Feroz Khan's Janasheen. "I guess that's true. For a long time I could not find my bearings in Mumbai. I was too busy sorting out my life. And the opportunities just slipped past me. Then I had to take what was coming my way," explains Celina. But seeing Celina draped in a sari requires a lot of imaginative power. "Why do you say that?" she laughs. "Trust me, at heart and in my home I'm not at all the hot siren that I'm made out to be. Getting into a sari is no big deal for me." However, the Tamilian accent, as she plays Shreyas Talpade's wife in Phir Golmaal, mustn’t have been easy to master. "I can't reveal details. But yes watch what I've done in this film. People will be shocked." Err..with Kareena Kapoor playing the main lead, does Celina stand a chance occupying decent space? "It's not a walk-on part, I can tell you that much. And we're both cast opposite two of the leading men in the film." However, on location in Goa, it was Tusshar Kapoor and not any of her other co-stars that Celina bonded with.
