Sneak Peek: Sunny Leone as ‘Baby Doll’ in Ragini MMS 2
First trailer of former adult-film star turned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone’s ‘Ragini MMS 2′ is already creating waves and has already had over 600,000 views on Youtube within a day of its launch.
While the film’s release is a long way off, Sunny Leone’s pic from sensational ‘Baby Doll’ song from ‘Ragini MMS 2′ has created a buzz on the internet.
'Chaar Botle Vodka' handles Sunny Leone's sensuality tastefully, without much skin show.
Sunny Leone’s Ragini MMS 2 earns over Rs 24 crore in opening weekend
The movie, which is a sequel to the hit 2011 film ‘Ragini MMS‘, has witnessed a steady growth in numbers over the weekend.
“#RaginiMMS2 *opening weekend* Rs 24.5 cr nett. India biz. Extraordinary!,” tweeted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
The movie, which was released on Friday (March 21), remained unaffected by the India-Pakistan match T 20 match, and managed to do good business.
“#RaginiMMS2 Fri 8.43 cr, Sat *est* 7.50 cr. India biz only… ₹ 24 cr to ₹ 25 cr nett weekend on the cards. Excellent!,” he further tweeted.
There were long queues of people seen outside theatres on Saturdays and Sundays in national capital New Delhi.
Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta also praised Sunny Leone and wrote: “Sunny Leone fits her part like her tight sheaths, and makes ‘Ragini MMS 2′ Bollywood’s first unabashed adult sex-horror flick.

7 Eye-Roll Moments In Lady Gaga's 'G.U.Y.'
From Mother Monster to Diva Deity, Lady Gaga's visions of grandeur have thus turned to delusions, as the platforms and pillars she climbs ever higher will in due time no longer serve as a tower to broadcast her feverish pop evangelism, but serve to mark her widening, deepening grave.
In a nutshell, the pretention-addled, rambling sentence above is an example of the tone in her new music video for "G.U.Y." (stands for "Girl Under You"). Gaga's visions, like the universe, are forever expanding and at this point, her opulent results are looking silly instead of stimulating. Plus, peppering some really odd cameos in her new video isn't helping, either.
Here are seven eye-rolling moments we saw in Lady Gaga's "G.U.Y.":
1. Angsty Gaga - How many times do we need to see a wounded Lady Gaga crawling along the ground like a wounded bird? In "G.U.Y.," she is literally that, a bird shot down by a swarm of cash-grabbing businessmen. The singer sure isn't one for sublety.
2. House party at Hearst Castle - The entire pool scene seems so sparsely arranged, like a student film borrowing a friend's uncle's vacation home. The palatial pool at the Hearst estate completely dwarfs anything Gaga was trying to do, so the dancers and random characters just seem like they wandered in. And the flower and tulle bouquet wrapped over the singer as she is carried into the pool is eye-roll city.
3. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Band - This is when things get strange, even for Gaga. Lisa Vanderpump, Yolanda Foster, Kyle Richards, and Kim Richards of the Bravo reality franchise have cameos as Gaga's backing band. We understand their swanky lifestyles qualify them to appear as part of the ostentatious backdrop, but c'mon, Gaga, you can do better.
4. Bravo's Andy Cohen as Zeus - The singer appeared on Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" show last fall and must've become BFFs with the popular host. While Cohen does happen to have the perfectly chic haircut of a Grecian aristocrat already, it's an entirely cheeseball move to have him floating in the sky that breaks any dramatics Gaga attempted to craft in the angsty opening.
5. Gaga Bear - Sorry Gaga, Miley has dibs on bears at the moment. And did an intern cut that out of posterboard?
5. Re-animated Michael Jackson, Jesus, and Gandhi - This is probably the most shocking part of the video. It's one thing to have impersonators of the odd trio, or even criticize to these historical figures. But to depict them rising up out of their coffins by some scientific process and getting blood drawn for some unclear use is just way too creepy.
6. Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards as Gaga's sexy sidekicks - Gaga and her Real Housewife enforcers take over an office building by force, and they all actually look pretty great doing it. Still, we know too much about the lives of the Housewives to find it remotely convincing. Thank heavens (or in this world, thank Andy Cohen) for Vanderpump's little dog Giggy the Pom. Who doesn't like a dog in a tux?
7. The "film" is 30 percent credits - It's a very generous and kind gesture to acknowledge the whole crew that worked on this video. But when the scrolling credits take up four minutes of a 12-minute clip, Gaga's editors should've looked for other ways of giving every single extra, truck driver, and office worker a shoutout.
The video as a whole issn't her most impressive effort, but it's true to the image of Mother Monster. Luckily, the best part of the video is Gaga herself, who looks absolutely fantastic thanks to her team of digital editors, stylists, hair and makeup artists, and choreographers, whose names we all know now thanks to the all-inclusive credits.
Oh Baby! Ciara Celebrates Her Baby Shower With Kim Kardashian and LaLa Anthony
LaLa Anthony, Ciara, and Kim Kardashian at Ciara's baby shower
You know you're doing something right when you're about to give birth and you still manage to outshine a Vogue cover model — just ask Ciara.
The expectant mother enjoyed a star-studded baby shower at a private home in Los Angeles on Saturday surrounded by besties Kim Kardashian and LaLa Anthony (who acted as one of three co-hosts), along with a beaming Kris Jenner.
Ciara's friends Lisa Ellis and Yolonda Frederick also hosted the soiree, which kicked off at noon and lasted for three seemingly delightful hours.
Naturally, North's mom documented the occasion with some candid snaps on Instagram, featuring a smattering of smiles and kissy faces. And of course the future Mrs. West had to share at least one full body shot.
Kim chose an elegant, yet edgy white ensemble with a thigh-high slit for the occasion, while LaLa sported a more demure heart-printed halter sundress. But it was the mommy-to-be that looked most stunning of all. Clad in a white and burgundy lace-embroidered silk georgette caftan by Naeem Khan, she completed her look with delicate gold jewelry and that distinct pregnancy glow.
LaLa Anthony, Ciara, and Kim Kardashian
"Celebrating @Ciara's baby shower today with @lala #mommymemories," Kim gushed.
La La posted her own pic, in which she places her hand on Ciara's growing bump. "Blessed. Family. Love. Thankful. Happy. Laughter. Amazing. Perfect. Excited. Grateful. All words to describe today," she captioned the shot.
Though details of what exactly went down during the outdoor fete remain rather sparse, we do know the ladies played at least a few baby games. Kris Jenner posted a close-up on Instagram of herself (obviously) alongside Ciara with the caption, "@ciara what a fun afternoon at your Baby Shower!!!! #youwonallthebabygames."

Kris arrived wearing a white suit carrying a giant gift basket — not that we'd expect anything less from the Kardashian matriarch.
While Ciara and her fiancé, rapper Future, haven't announced the sex of their baby, the blue-and-gold invite seems to indicate it's a boy. (This only supports earlier reports that Future revealed the news during a radio interview in the U.K. when he referred to the unborn child as "him.")
Besides the shower, however, Ciara has been spending time with Kim as they bond over their little ones. In February, the pair went shopping together at the luxury baby boutique Bel Bambini... which means regardless of whether Ciara has a boy or a girl, we're fairly certain this is going to be one stylish child.

Girlfriend of Missing Malaysia Airlines Passenger Writes Him Heartbreaking Love Notes
The girlfriend of an American passenger aboard missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has written of her pain and hope that the pair will soon be reunited in a series of love notes on her Facebook page.
As search and rescue teams race to find the jet, Sarah Hamil Bajc has been penning love letters to her boyfriend, Philip Wood, telling him about her day and sharing small tidbits of information he has missed since the plane disappeared March 8.
“Dearest Love ... This is the second Saturday of your disappearance,” Bajc wrote in one post. “I cannot remember much of the first, but I have spent today remembering you. I have scrolled through a very long rolodex of happy memories ... we have so much fun together. And so much peace together. And so much love. You have become a permanent part of me.”
In another note, Bajc tells Wood they never finished their last game of “Words with Friends” and that he would automatically win if she didn’t respond. “Can't have that!” she wrote.
“I hope you are able to get some rest where you are, and that they are feeding you. Any chance they include a glass of wine with dinner?” Bajc added.
Bajc’s Facebook page is also populated with news stories and updates on the missing plane. In one post, she reveals her frustration at the way Malaysian authorities have handled the investigation so far.
“Dysfunctional is the word!!!” she wrote.
On Thursday, Bajc told ABC News she still held hope the passengers were alive, but was also "prepared” in the event that Wood, an IBM executive, did not return.
A business teacher at an international school in China, Bacj had intended on joining Wood in Kuala Lumpur where they were planning to start a new life together, she said. Wood was on his way to Beijing to help her move when the plane vanished.
“The risk of not knowing is what frightens me the most," Bajc told ABC News. “When you don't know, the wound just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Not only can it not start to heal, but it actually gets worse."

‘Divergent’ Scores $56 Million Box-Office Opening, ‘A’ CinemaScore – And a Franchise Is Born
“Divergent,” the big-screen adaptation of Veronica Roth's best-selling, young-adult adventure novels, conquered the domestic box office with a sizzling $56 million first weekend.
It marks the second-best opening of the year — behind only the $69 million of “The Lego Movie” in February — and the futuristic sci-fi tale starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James also gave Lionsgate Entertainment a successful launch for its next teen franchise. The studio behind the “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games” series has scheduled “Insurgent,” the sequel to “Divergent,” for next March, and the third film, “Allegiant,” is set for the same slot in 2016.
“Divergent” dominated over the weekend's runner-up, Disney's family movie “The Muppets Most Wanted,” which opened to an underwhelming $16.5 million to beat out last week's No. 1 movie, DreamWorks Animation's “Mr. Peabody & Sherman,” scoring third place with $11.7 million.
The independent faith-based movie “God's Not Dead” finished a surprising fifth, taking in $8.5 million from just 780 screens to finish just behind “300: Rise of an Empire” ($8.6 million) and just ahead of “Need for Speed” ($7.7 millon). And “The Grand Budapest Hotel” continued to build momentum. Wes Anderson's ensemble comedy brought in $6.5 million after Fox Searchlight expanded it from 66 to 304 theaters. That's a very strong $21,535 per-screen average, by the far the best of any movie in release.
There haven't been many movies that directly targeted young women since “The Hunger Games” in November, and they turned out in force for “Divergent.” Nearly 60 percent of its audience was female, and about half were under the age of 25. They liked it more than the critics — it's at 40 percent “fresh” on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes — and gave it an “A” CinemaScore.
Launching a teen franchise is an accomplishment for Lionsgate. No other studio has managed to since Warner Bros.’ launch of “Harry Potter” 13 years ago, and Hollywood has been trying to recreate the formula for a book-based teen adventure series for years. Recent attempts like “Beautiful Creatures,” “The Host,” “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones” and “Vampire Academy” all bombed, but studios keep trying because the returns can be huge.
“Twilight” opened to $69.6 million in November of 2008 and went on to take in $192.7 million domestically and another $199.8 million abroad. Four sequels later, the franchise had brought in more than $3.3 billion worldwide. “The Hunger Games” stunned Hollywood with a record $152.5 million opening in March of 2012, and rolled up $408 million domestically and another $283 million worldwide. Its sequel, “Catching Fire,” opened to a huge $158 million in November and is over $864 million worldwide.
The PG-13-rated “Divergent” didn't match those openings numbers, and has faced comparisons with the earlier Lionsgate hits because the source material and target demographic are similar. In “Divergent,” Woodley's character Tris Prior struggles against the system in a futuristic dystopia, much as Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen did in the “The Hunger Games.”
Lionsgate's President of Domestic Distribution Richie Fay said he thought getting out of the shadow of the other two young adult hits made a big difference.
“Nancy Kirkpatrick (Summit Entertainment's president of worldwide marketing) and her team did a great job of helping this movie establish its own identity, and the young stars got out on the circuit and they clearly connected,” said Fay, who saw encouraging signs in the demographic breakdown.
“It was mainly young women, but the even split on the ages and the 40 percent males makes me think we're going to be able to broaden beyond our core over the next few weeks and spring break,” he said.
“Divergent,” which was produced for $85 million, is directed by Neil Burger (“Limitless”) and adapted by Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor. The cast includes Kate Winslet, Miles Teller, Ashley Judd, Jai Courtney, Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Tony Goldwyn and Mekhi Phifer.
The opening for “Muppets Most Wanted” was under the $20 million that the studio and analysts had projected, and well off the $29 million that 2011's “The Muppets” debuted to on its way to a 165 million worldwide haul.
Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell starred in “The Muppets Most Wanted,” which may have been hurt by another family-targeting film featuring Burrell, the star of TV's “Modern Family,” or at least his voice. “Mr. Peabody & Sherman,” in which Burrell provides the pipes for the genius pooch, raised its domestic total to $81 million with a solid third-week showing.
The audience for “Most Wanted” was 71 percent families, and they gave it a “B+” CinemaScore.
The low-budget and PG-rated “God's Not Dead” made the post of its limited run with a per-screen average of nearly $11,000 – better than any movie in the market except for “Divergent” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”
The drama about a college student who sets out to prove God's existence, had Freestyle Releasing President Mark Borde looking ahead to an expansion next week.
“On such few screens to compete so strongly on a national platform says so much about the film, the filmmakers, and the target audience who love this movie,” he said Sunday.
Kevin Sorbo, David A.R. White and Willie Robertson of TV's “Duck Dynasty” co-star in the film, which was directed by Harold Cronk and produced by Pure Flix Entertainment and Red Entertainment.
Justin Bateman's directorial debut “Bad Words” expanded from six to 87 theaters and brought in about $498,000 for Focus Features, a solid $5,720 per-screen average for the R-rated spelling bee comedy.
Lars von Trier's “Nymphomaniac: Volume 1” debuted on 24 screens and brought in about $174,00 for Magnolia Pictures. That's a pretty good $7,240 per-screen average for the unrated Danish sex drama, which has been available on demand for since March 7.
The crowd-funded comedy mystery “Veronica Mars” added 56 theaters but took a major 75 percent tumble from its first weekend, and took in just $490,00 for Warner Bros. It's two-week domestic is $2.8 million.
Rihanna Uses Hilarious Jenelle Evans' Teen Mom 2 Clip to Promote Her Monster Tour
That's why she's got those feathers in her hair! Rihanna is having fun promoting her newly-announced Monster Tour with rapper Eminem. On March 22, she Instagrammed the now viral clip of Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans telling her lawyer she couldn't go to jail because she had to go to a Ke$ha concert
"I really can't miss that concert," Evans, 22, explains in the clip. "That's why I got all these feathers in my hair. I bought clothes for the concert. I set up hotel rooms for the concert. It's not just a concert it's…
" And at that point the "Diamonds" singer added in an announcer's voice shouting, "Rihannaaa!"
After the clip aired on Teen Mom 2 in 2012, it immediately went viral with spoofs and commentary airing on The Soup, Chelsea Lately, and a host of late night talk shows.
And Evans certainly wasn't upset by Rihanna's shout out. She even posted retweeted the video on her Twitter page, writing, "dude Rihanna actually noticed me lol." ?

Courtney Stodden Tries To Ride A Bike In A Plunging Swimsuit And Wedges... And Fails Spectacularly
She's not exactly the sporty type.
Courtney Stodden went on a nice peaceful bike ride in LA... but there was trouble ahead.
And when Courtney Stodden tried her hand at cycling on Thursday things, predictably, went very, very wrong.
Clearly unsure of what to wear for a relaxing bike ride around LA... the glamour girl decided on a plunging halterneck swimsuit and seven-inch stripper heels, obviously.
But if the CBB star thought that she'd created the perfect photo opportunity, she was sadly mistaken as everything went seriously pear-shaped pretty quickly.
Perhaps too preoccupied with giving her perfect toothy grin for the camera (which just happened to be in front of her), Court took her eyes of the road with DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES.
Courtney Stodden managed to maintain eye contact with the camera as she fell.
Before long, any scrap of dignity that the model had left was swiftly taken away from her as her mint green bike went careering into the bank.
Narrowly managing to avoid a nip-slip, Court tumbled from the bike onto the grass, putting out her hand to save herself.
But, ever the professional, Courtney managed to keep that big ol' grin in her face and more importantly, managed to keep looking at the camera.
The spotlight-loving star seemed to see the funny side of the *hilarious* mishap and laughed it off - with a rather maniacal (and slightly scary) glint in her eye.
Courtney Stodden knows how to work the camera.
Proving that she's a tough nut at heart, Courtney was back up in no time and cycling off into the sunset with her riding partner.
Inexplicably, Court was spending the day with BMX star Alias Mix - who seemed to be taking time out to teach her to actually cycle (not very well.)
If You've Got It, Flaunt It! Rihanna Flashes Underwear As She Heads To Dinner In See-Through Skirt
Rihanna has always been one to take risks in terms of her style and last night was no different, as the Bajan beauty was snapped in a completely see-through skirt, flashing her underwear as she left her fave Los Angeles eatery Giorgio Baldi.
Despite the singer no doubt feeling a little bit of a draft, she definitely didn't let it be known, as she kept her head down and looking her usual confident self whilst making her way to a waiting car following her dinner.
Not a bit cold? Rihanna flashes pants as she leaves restaurant in L.A
RiRi was also sporting a very long ponytail and teamed the racy skirt white skirt with a white crop top that flashed her super toned tum. Despite the S&M star looking amazing as always, do you think that the look was a little too attention seeking? Or do you think that Rihanna should be flaunting that fabulous bod of hers whenever she can?
Singer flashed her enviable abs
Although Rihanna looked like she didn't have a care in the world, her former accountant allegedly slammed the star this week, saying that her losing a whopping $9 million back in 2009 had nothing to do with him, despite her currently suing him, stating that he advised her wrongly.
RiRi, real name Robyn Fenty, is taking legal action against Peter Gounis, saying that he advised her to buy a $7.5 million house that eventually turned mouldy and suffered leaks, leaving the singer pretty much bankrupt.
Rihanna donned long hair extensions for the outing
However, according to court documents obtained by the New York Daily News: "Peter Gounis did not leave the tour to go act in a movie, Fenty did."
The papers continue to read, according to the publication: "Mr Gounis was fully apprised of Ms Fenty’s financial condition, yet, nonetheless, failed to advise her that the purchase would be unwise.
"At the core of her claim is this belief: someone else is responsible for her conduct and its consequences."
