Hills star Audrina Patridge said she had an “absolute blast” shooting a new advert for Carl’s Jr fast food chain.

Audrina, 24, filmed the ad for the chain’s new Carl’s Jr Teriyaki Six Dollar Burger in April on Malibu beach.

She said: “I had an absolute blast shooting. It was my first experience shooting a spot with food, and when I pulled up, I was literally salivating looking at all the rows and rows of perfect burgers waiting for me!”

She added: “I was cracking up because I would take a bite, and almost immediately a food handler with white gloves would have a brand new burger ready.”

Audrina was shot in a gold bikini on the beach and she revealed her bikini was chosen for its practicality.

She said: “We made sure my bikini was reversible, in case of any ketchup or teriyaki mishaps! It was a great experience, and being on the beach in Malibu was an added perk.”

2008 is gone forever and 2009 has crept in with many promising films in store. Hope 2009 fights the global recession raining gold at the box-office. But stars who really need to prove themselves this year before it’s too late are:-

Preity Zinta- Preity had done two films last year Heroes and The Last Lear where in spite of being noticed she dint seem to make any buzz in Bollywood.

Her viewers want to see her original self in roles that she has done in the past in films like Kal Ho Na Ho and Salaam Namaste but unfortunately this year she has only been seen more on the cricket fields than on the silver screen.

All her wellwishers wish her Mohali team wins the IPL and her forthcoming film Har Pal does wonders in the BO and she manages to get offers from Dharma and Yash Raj productions.

Shahid Kapoor- Has lots in store this year to prove himself as last year where his only hit was Jab We Met which was completely dominated by Kareena and she stole all the limelight. His film with Vidya Balan, Kismat Konnection too dint make in waves in the BO maybe because the viewers did not approve their pair.

His love life was also in a mess in spite of being in news for seeing Sania Mirza and Vidya Balan. Nothing seemed to work for him. This year he has YRF’s Cricket with Rani Mukerji, Ken Ghosh’s musical extravaganza Yahoo with Jiah Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminay with Priyanka Chopra. So that means lots to prove himself.

In the personal front too he is said to be dating some Mubina Rattonsey, so we all hope that even in that front things work out well for him.

This year he will be seen in the film Blue where his scuba diving skills and his physique will make the people forget his no acting ability. The other films which he has to hold on to are dad Sanjay Khan’s The Legend of Lord Rama and Apoorva Lakhia’s.

Fardeen Khan- Has not had a single release last year and he just seems to have disappeared somewhere. The actor was last seen in Ram Gopal’s disaster, Darling. He will be seen in the film Dulha mil Gaya in 2009. He also has Sanjay Gupta’s much hyped film Acid Factory in his sleeve.

As this film sounds pretty promising hope Fardeen is able to come back with a bang. Apart from this he will also be seen in Abbas Mustan’s multi-starrer comic caper Life Partner.

Vivek Oberoi- Over confidence and arrogance are the two words which have become the reason for the failure of this actor even though he can act well. His character of Maya Dola’s in Shoot out in Lokhandwala was highly appreciated and he was remembered for it but his film, Mission Istanbul was a dud in the BO.

His upcoming films like a Tips action film called Prince of Thieves, Dharma Productions’ film on terrorism alongside Saif and Kareena where he plays a terrorist and a role in Prakash Jha’s multi-starrer political thriller Rajneeti sound promising and the characters he s playing seem to have lots of potential so we hope these help him in proving his worth.

Zayed Khan- The only good thing that happened to this star last year was that he became a father. His much hyped films Mission Istanbul and Yuvvraaj were a major disaster and were a complete hint that this star if not anything else definitely needs to attend some acting classes.

Salman Khan- Last but not the least we all hope that 2009 brings in lots of luck for Sallu bhai. His 2008 was really bad where his much hyped film Yuvvraaj was unable to create magic in the box office. This year he has Veer where Salman can once again prove himself and come back in the race.

The buzz is that Bollywood’s hot property Katrina Kaif has reportedly refused to play murdered teenager Scarlett Keeling in Prabhakar Shukla’s film ‘Rave Party’.

So reports that Katrina was shifting dates to play Scarlett as her dates are booked till 2009-end are false.

Apparently Kat was keen in the beginning, but keeping the controversial subject in mind, decided to opt out as she found the subject too controversial. Reportedly Kat has stated that she doesn’t want to do films around a subject that has ‘no clarity’ and many unanswered questions.

The Internet Movie Database website also shows Katrina’s name in the starcast of the film with its status ‘in production’.

Shukla is looking for someone else from UK to play Scarlett, who was murdered on Goa’s beach early last year.

The director is also awaiting the green signal from Scarlett’s mother Fiona Mckeown as he has sent her the film’s script for approval.

The buzz is that South Indian director Venkat Prabhu is making ‘Goa’ which is also based on Scarlett’s murder and is produced by Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya’s Ocher Studios.

Whatever the detractors and jealous colleagues may have to say about the prolific Pritam Chakbraborty’s once-derivative output the man has his fundas fully in place.

No two ways about it.

In what could be deemed a revolutionary move to bridge the gap between creativity and individual satisfaction, Pritam has asked the producer Ramesh Taurani to stop two compositions from being filmed Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

Reveals Pritam, “One is an item song for Ranbir the other a romantic song featuring Ranbir and Katrina Kaif. I’ve requested Tauraniji to not film those songs. He has agreed as long as I deliver the substitutes immediately. I’m now working on the alternative tunes literally overnight.”

This isn’t the first time that Pritam has changed his mind about his songs. “In Jab We Met I sent Imtiaz Ali a substitute tune for the hit Yeh ishq haye at the last minute. And I never liked Nagara in the same film.

I tried to stop it. But everyone was adamant. Later it turned out to be the biggest hit of the Jab We Met soundtrack. So I may be wrong about changing my mind.

But in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani I don’t want to take a chance. I’ll scrap the two songs and give new tunes. I hope the director Raj Santoshi doesn’t mind.”

It is reliably learnt that the filming of the two bothersome melodies has been stopped in Ooty until Pritam delivers the fresh tracks. That would be any time this week.

With a whopping string of chartbusters behind him Pritam is now determined to eradicate the reputation of being a derivative creator, or to use a less kind term, a copycat.

Even the slightest whiff of apery drives Pritam into a revisional frenzy.

And so it happened with his music for Raj Kumar Santsohi’s Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahni, one more posh project for Pritam after chartbusters like Jab We Met, Bhool Bulaiya, Kismat Konnection and Singh Is Kinng.

Says Pritam “This is a time when my success is being questioned constantly by the purists.

I’m going blue in the face saying my songs from Jab We Met onwards are all original. Even for Priyadrashan’s Bhool Bhulaiya I saw and heard the Malalayam and Tamil originals but refused to use any of their music.

Even the classical song in Bhool Bhulaiya was entirely my own composition. And when Priyan Sir wanted Bengali lyrics in the title song my wife and I sat overnight writing them ourselves.”

Not only is Pritam particular about his compositions he’s also very touchy about how his tunes are filmed.

“For Priyan Sir’s Billoo Barber you’ve to see what a beautiful job Farah Khan has done of choreographing the Shah Rukh-Deepika Song. Now I’ve composed two different versions of a romantic song that will be filmed on Shah Rukh-Priyanka and Irrfan-Lara Dutta.”

As for voluntarily withdrawing his two songs this has to be an unprecedent self-revision by a creative artiste.

“I know it’s generally producers who ask music director for new tunes. But I believe Burman Dada (S D Burman) used to change his mind about his tunes all the time. We’re living in mediocre sab-chalta-hai times.

I want to get out of the rat race. And make a name beyond the charts. My music in Imtiaz Ali’s second film is very different from Jab We Met. There are no romantic songs in the film.

The chemistry shared between Saif and Deepika Padukone is very different from what Shahid and Kareena shared in Jab We Met. Imtiaz and I are ready for people to be confused by my music. I’d rather have them confused than finally disappointed.”

Suddenly Rock On has placed a huge brotherly concern on Farhan Akhtar’s head.

So far acting was fun. Now it’s a responsibility. Farhan has to make sure his post-debut acting vehicle Luck By Chance doesn’t let down his sister’s directorial debut, and his new breed of clamouring fans who’ve erupted all over the country.

Rock On has suddenly made the super-director into the most promising acting debutant of 2008.

As the encomiums flow in Farhan tries hard not to get affected by the praise.

But it does get to be too much for Farhan when his proud mom Shabana Azmi tells me, “Frahan’s is the most flawless performance from a male actor after Balraj Sahni in Garam Hawa and Paresh Rawal in Sir. Believe me, I’m not prone to praise excessively. I don’t say this because it’s Farhan. I’m saying this as one actor to another.”

On hearing this Farhan does for a second, lose his habitual cool. “What can I say? Coming from an actor of her caliber… yeah, it does put pressure on me. But I try very hard not to think about it.

If I did, I’d only be thinking about what people expect from me and I wouldn’t be able to act. For me those expectations after Rock On are faceless until someone like Shabana comes forward with such praise.”

To compound the woe after the wows is the fact that Farhan plays a struggling actor in Luck By Chance. “In my first starring role the unreleased Fakir I played a member of a film unit.

In Rock On I was a musician. Both were parts instrinsic to my personality. But the struggler in Luck By Chance is someone I’ve seen outside. Every day these hopefuls wait outside buildings, by your car, at the foot of elevators and lifts, to get the attention of filmmakers.

Every day they are prepared to be snubbed and humiliated. I’ve seen these guys’ humiliation and desperation. But not experienced them first-hand. There’s so much desperation to portray without making the character look in-you-face tragic.”

The role in Luck By Chance is therefore an extra challenge for Farhan the actor. “But I’m not looking at Luck By Chance as an opportunity to further my career as an actor. It is my sister’s film and I am the producer. So it’s very important for me to see Luck By Chance work in totality. “

Any other actor in his place would’ve gone tom-toming to the world about his clout at the box-office, but Aamir Khan continues to be as level-headed as ever, with his feet firmly planted on the ground.

“I always knew GHAJINI would fetch a big start, but I didn’t expect the start to be so huge. I am surprised, ” Aamir tells me as we sit down for a free-wheeling conversation.

What really clicked? Has he done some introspection? “Various factors! The director (A.R. Murugadoss) had come up with a riveting script. I knew that would be its trump card. The marketing team also deserves to be complimented.

Plus, the fact that I work in limited films – on an average, one per year – and that must’ve generated curiosity for this film… The credit should go to Murugadoss mainly. He deserves brownie points, ” Aamir says with utmost modesty.

Now that GHAJINI has released, Aamir moves on to 3 IDIOTS, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. “I am enjoying working with Raju. He’s a terrific storyteller, ” he smiles.

Is he pumping iron to retain the muscular look for this film? “No, no… Raju wants a lean look for the film, so I’ve stopped working out since the past few months. I need to look different for this film, ” he divulges.

Flush with the success of his home-productions TAARE ZAMEEN PAR and JAANE TU… YA JAANE NA, Aamir has started three more films. And like his previous endeavours, the three films are being helmed by first-time directors. One of the projects is, in fact, being directed by his wife Kiran.

“I am not producing this project. I’m funding and presenting it. Besides, I am also acting in Kiran’s film, ” Aamir says.

Tentatively titled DHOBI GHAT, Aamir says that the film revolves around four characters primarily, the other three being Prateek Babbar and two new girls. “Prateek is evolving into a very fine actor, ” he states.

The conversation veers to Aamir and SRK acting in a movie together. Is it possible? “Of course, it is! I am open to working with SRK. I have no problems.

Only thing, the script has to do justice to the two actors. I’m sure there’re a lot of capable directors who’d be interested in signing this combination, ” he states.

Any director who can get this dream cast together? “Oh yes, Mani Ratnam, Ashutosh Gowariker, Farhan Akhtar, there’re so many talented names out there. I’m game to work with a new director as well if he has the right script, ” he says.
