Musician John Mayer is getting very frank about his past relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston. In a latest interview with Playboy, the rocker compared Jessica to a drug and said he still loves Jen.

The on and off boyfriend of Jessica, Mayer said, “That girl, for me, is a drug. And drugs aren’t good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me. Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say.”

John told Playboy about his relation with Jessica that “It was like napalm, sexual napalm.”

The 32 year old musician told the magazine that he felt addicted to the Jessica.

The rocker said, “There are people in the world who have the power to change our values. Have you ever been with a girl who made you want to quit the rest of your life?” he continued. “Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f****** snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f*** you, I would start selling all my shit just to keep f****** you.’”

Talking about his ex girlfriend Jennifer, Mayer said, “Yes, always. I’ll always be sorry that it didn’t last,” John said. “In some ways I wish I could be with her. But I can’t change the fact that I need to be 32.”

The rocker did not reveal whether his latest album, “Battle Studies,” is about Jen or not, but says he hopes his music will relate to everyone’s lives.

He told reporter, “I feel bad because people think ‘Heartbreak Warfare’ is about [Jen]. I want to go on record saying it’s not. That woman would never use heartbreak warfare. That woman was the most communicative, sweetest, kindest person. When people hear the record, I hope the songs make them think about their lives, not my life.”

He added, “We just have a regard for each other’s feelings that is pretty intense. It’s been a deep relationship, and it’s no longer taking place at all. Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?”

It has some religion, a bit of politics and it’s set in the backdrop of a world shaking event, but for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan his latest venture is not so much about Islam post-9/11 as it is entertainment.

“The film is mainly entertainment,” Shah Rukh said in a lengthy interview with IANS over the phone from New York on a trip last week to promote his new film, My Name Is Khan (MNIK), releasing in the US Feb 12.

“If some issue is taken back home, I always tell people if they can take back a little more than an empty pack of popcorn, that’s interesting…that’s an added advantage to an entertaining film.”

Shah Rukh, who plays a Muslim Indian with Asperger’s syndrome living in the US, finding his marriage to a Hindu single mother (played by Kajol) crumbling post-9/11, wouldn’t agree that it’s the Islam angle that is grabbing the most attention in the US.

“A film normally deals with lots of issues, comedy, or it’s a tragedy or a serious film or a dramatic love story like …Khan is meant to be,” he said. “If one starts talking or deciding on issues before a whole film is seen, it’s kinda not right to do, specially as a filmmaker.

“Normally, a film is more than the sum of its parts. It’s not like it’s a love story, it’s got a Karan Johar touch to social cinema, it has an angle of religion, it also has a part of politics, it has a world-shaking incident as a backdrop, it also has a lot of sweet songs. It combines all that.

“To me as a filmmaker, or part of a film, any aspect of the film can only be decided once one has seen the whole film. But there’s no denying that there is an aspect of religion in the film.”

Nor would Shah Rukh look at this and other recent Bollywood films about the fate of Indian Muslims in the US post-9/11 as an effort to redress any negative images people may have formed about Islam over the last nine years.

“Films normally are for entertainment. One doesn’t really make a conscious decision to make a statement with it. Within entertainment, if a statement gets made, it’s really nice for a filmmaker.

“You know, maybe 3 Idiots talks about education, but it’s an entertaining film. Similarly Chak De! India talks about patriotism, but it’s a sports film.

“You can have issues related in a film, but when filmmakers of commercial proportions like Karan, myself and Kajol and all get together, it’s not to highlight an issue because it’s too expensive as a commercial venture to make a film about an issue and not entertain.”

To Shah Rukh, “the most interesting part of the fact as an actor is that I’m playing a character who’s got Asperger’s. It’s also not in any which way to show it in a light which is not nice…but for an actor that’s a great thing to do, you know, to play a (person with a) disorder like this which very few people know about.”

“Hopefully, I’ll be able to convince people about it when they see (the film). I don’t think at least commercial filmmakers from India really make a big-time film which is localised or even localised by an international issue,” he said.

“Commercial we will only know once the film releases,” said Shah Rukh when asked if MNIK isn’t one of Karan Johar’s least commercial offerings so far.

“…Yes, the only thing it has amiss is big set dance pieces, but we just felt with the disorder we were dealing with, it would look very unrealistic for the character Rizwan Khan to indulge in dancing of the order of we normally see in a Hindi film of Karan’s, or you might have seen earlier.

“Except for that, I think the venture is extremely commercial,” he said.

“In the last five years, there’s a whole paradigm shift as to what people accept as a commercial film,” Shah Rukh said describing it as “Karan’s evolution from making and keeping up with the trends of new commercial cinema in India and elsewhere”.

On professional challenges he faced during its filming, Shah Rukh said it was a “very difficult” character to play. “If I was to just put it simply, it’s very seldom that I’ve really gone ahead and played a character which exists in real life.

“And whenever you’re dealing with a disorder or a near…atypical situation, the first thought is that the sort of parameters you have to set that in no which way you are derogatory or deriding the disorder.

“You have to make the protagonist very proud of what it is. The second part is you have to come as close to reality in depicting that characterisation and so one had to study a lot and one does get worried…”

But a couple of people affected with the same disorder who were shown the film had told them “…it’s a great portrayal, it’s very close to someone with this kind of disorder”.

“Of course, having said that, I have taken a few cinematic liberties with it, because I’ve used three or four traits which may not exist simultaneously in one person and tried to create one character who has Asperger’s, called Rizwan Khan.”

Bollywood Millennium megastar and an enthusiastic blogger, Amitabh Bachchan, is now preferring voice blogs.

According to the latest gossip, Big B chose vocal blogging instead of usual blogging to stay more close to his fans, so that they can hear his thoughts anytime and anywhere at the push of a button on their mobile phones.

“Inside India” introduced the vogging service called Bachchan Bol, which is a repository for licensable content and entertainment from Indian superstars.

In a statement Mr. Amitabh Bachchan said, “Bachchan Bol empowers me with a personal platform on which I can connect and speak directly with my fans across the globe anywhere and anytime.

As part of the service, Amitabh will be sharing his personal and professional experiences from time-to-time. This service will be available to mobile users at a monthly subscription or pay-per-minute pricing model.

A spokesperson of Inside India said, “We are honored and excited to launch this project with such a fantastic icon of Indian cinema. We know the power of Indian entertainment and we are firmly embedded in the innovation of technology and the digital world.”

He added, “Combining these two elements we are paving a new way for social networking, starting it in the world’s most exciting country and taking it across the globe.”

Eva Longoria sent her fans a link to a porn site on the popular social networking site Twitter by mistake.

The 34 year old star has recently joined the Twitter bandwagon.

According to the latest celebrity news, the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star, Eva was trying to post a link to a website about her basketball star husband Tony Parker when she made the error and sent a link of porn site.

After realizing her mistake, a daily quoted her saying, “Oh noooo! I put the wrong twitter site for my husband! The one I put earlier goes to some porn site! Don`t use it!”

Katrina Kaif

Katrina discloses that she was only 19 years old when she shifted to Mumbai and did not know much about the living in Mumbai.

She tells, ‘Salman Khan, his family and friends looked after me’.


When Karan asked her about her relationship status, she told, “I believe that until you are married you are single!”

Well now that’s a very diplomatic answer.

Imagine what will happen when Ranbir’s ‘best friend’ Katrina Kaif accidentally bumps into his ex Deepika Padukone. Recently at a shoot, both these girls exchanged cold stares even before Katrina walked out. Both of them were not in the mood of acknowledging each other. Apparently, Ranbir Kapoor became close friends with Katrina Kaif when he was dating Deepika.

On Wednesday, Dips was busy with a magazine photo shoot in the Mehboob Studio open area. An eyewitness who was watching all this says, “Deepika had come with Farhan Akhtar for her photo shoot. Somewhere around late afternoon, Deepika was giving her solo shots in the garden area of the studio. While Deepika was doing her last minute touch-up, there was pin drop silence and all eyes swiveled to the entrance. It was Katrina Kaif, who had accidentally walked in, thinking it was the venue where she was called for the shoot. She was dressed in a short white skirt and a pink tee, Katrnia walked in and froze for a second. Deepika, who was standing some distance away, saw her. Both had a few seconds of eye contact, and Katrina immediately took a U-turn and walked away.”

It was not surprising at all considering their history. A close source revealed, “Although Ranbir and Deepika are not seeing each other anymore, the latter still has issues with Katrina. It was the growing friendship between Katrina and Ranbir which marked an end to her relationship.” When asked Katrina and Deepika about this incident they were both unavailable for the comment.
