PREITY ZINTA AND HER 34 CHILDREN

Dimpled Bollywood cutie Preity Zinta celebrated her 34th birthday this past Saturday and she celebrated by adopting 34 kids! Preity adopted 34 orphaned girls from the Mother Miracle School in Hrishikesh. While she may not be taking the girls home to live with her, as their guardian she will take care of their finances for basic needs for things like food, clothing and education. Now that’s definitely something she should be very proud of! Preity says she plans to adopt more girls every year. Now that’s a cause we can get behind. What a great way to celebrate your birthday!
She also made her thoughts on her home city of Mumbai well known. It seems after watching ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ Miss Zinta realized the state of the city and wants to clean up the slums that plague the city. We agree Preity, that’s a noble cause!
That’s not the only way she celebrated though! The vivacious actress also held a blowout birthday bash at her pad on Saturday night. No doubt her handsome boyfriend Ness Wadia was also on hand. But it seems things weren’t all hunky dory! It seems the partygoers were interrupted by an unwanted visit from the cops! Seems like her neighbors complained about the loud music in the wee hours of the night. Come on people, a girl only turns 34 once! Hmm… this scenario does sound awfully familiar though, as one of her close pals Hrithik Roshan just went through the same thing at his birthday bash in January! Guess the two are good friends for a reason – they both know how to party like rockstars, or shall we say, Bollywood stars! Well either way, the party was a well deserved break for the hard working gal who has a heart of gold!
So what are your thoughts on Preity’s big step to improve the lives of many? We think it’s cool, but you guys can get your thoughts in too.

With seven awards, it's been a 'fantastic' start: Priyanka Chopra

New Delhi, It's not even halfway down the year, but Priyanka Chopra already has reasons enough to say 2009 has been "fantastic" for her. The star has already walked away with seven awards including an international honour.
"It's been a fantastic start to 2009. Awards mean a lot to me. After you work so hard, the award validates your work. So every award has a very special place in my heart and gives me a huge sense of achievement and encouragement," Priyanka told IANS over e-mail. Priyanka, who scorched the screen with distinct roles in films like "Fashion" and "Dostana", was bestowed the Nielsen Box Office Award for outstanding contribution to Asian cinema at the Third Annual Asian Film Awards held in Hong Kong last month. She says the award is an encouragement for her to perform better. "I have only been in the Indian film industry for about five years now and so it was a huge surprise and an honour to have been conferred the award. This is my first international award and is definitely an encouragement for me as an actor to perform better. It was a proud moment for me to represent India at the Asian Film Awards," she said. The 26-year-old actress, who won the Miss World title in 2000, also walked away with the Filmfare best actress award for her performance as a supermodel in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Fashion". For the same film, Priyanka also bagged the best actress award at the STAR Screen Awards, Lions Club Gold Awards as well as the Stardust Awards. "I feel privileged to have been given the chance to essay a complex character like Meghna Mathur in 'Fashion' and I'm truly overwhelmed by the appreciation I have received," she said. "I am very grateful for the support I have received, be it from my directors and co-stars to the technicians on each film. Without them, it would not have been possible," Priyanka added. These apart, the now three-time Filmfare award winner also received an honour at the 10th FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) Frames this year for her contribution to entertainment and was also given a best brand ambassador award at the NDTV Profit Car and Bike Awards. And Priyanka can expect some more prizes with the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards approaching soon. Till then, she is busy working hard for her forthcoming films - Ashutosh Gowariker's "What's Your Raashee?" opposite Hurman S. Baweja and Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminay" alongside Shahid Kapur.

Dutt was given a ticket by the Samajwadi Party to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Lucknow, but will not be able to fight after the Supreme Court Tuesday refused to suspend his conviction for owning illegal arms in the run-up to the 1993 serial bombings in Mumbai.
