Katrina’s Butt or Ashwariya Rai’s Power?

There’re too many achievements in Katrina’s kitty already. She’s bagged the prize of being the actress who inspires most Internet downloads. She is an representative of a leading jewellery brand. Katrina is also the Indian face of Barbie Doll.

And now according to a recent poll conducted by a website Katrina Kaif has got the hottest butt in the business.

At 24 per cent Kat topped the poll where she was pitted against Jennifer Lopez who came a close second followed by Malaika Arora Khan, Beyonce Knowles, Yana Gupta, Jessica Biel, Mallika Sherawat and Cameron Diaz.

However, when it comes to succulent lips, Katrina had to concede to Priyanka Chopra whose natural pout is as eye grabbing as Kat’s butt.

Katrina also emerged as the favorite of the voters as the superstar they want to see as the ambassador of a soft drink.

According to another survey conducted by a popular research agency, which revealed that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the most powerful female actor, racing ahead of the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and even Madhuri Dixit.

This was the first ever-extensive research that was conducted of such magnitude to measure Celebrity Power in India; concentrating on different attributes like Popularity, media presence, power of persuasion and image attributes.

This all India research also discovered that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is amongst the most convincing and likeable celebrity in India.

She has also garnered over 98.8% of recognition as well as recall value which is at par with cinematic legends like Amitabh Bachchan and cricketing star Sachin Tendulkar; by the way she is the only female who is part of the top 10 recognized celebrities from all walks of life.

The survey also revealed that Aishwarya is clearly one of the most popular faces among classes as well as the masses. In an otherwise male dominated society Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has clearly appeared as the woman on top.

Hrithik is struggling to keep the pounds off!!

He’s B-town’s favorite pin up boy and is one the fittest men out here. So it’s nothing short of a surprise if he fights the extra kilos. But that’s the truth as he’s been asked to reduce his waistline for an Ad.

Gosh…loads of strange things happen in the world of showbiz.

Reportedly the ad makers of a clothing line which Hrithik Roshan endorses wanted the super star to look fitter and best for an upcoming commercial that’s aimed at the youth.

They are supposedly perfectionists and they went ahead and asked him to get leaner by a few inches and even shed the muscular look, which he’s sporting for his home production ‘Kites’.

The buzz is that Hrithik’s dad Rakesh Roshan was not in favor of his son losing any muscle as that extra lean look wouldn’t have suited Hrithik’s character in the upcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie. He’s about to shoot for that movie and papa Roshan knows the best.

But the very professional actor decided to listen to his heart and the ad filmmaker and shed some weight. He actually ended up plummeting his waist from 30 inches to 28 inches for the shoot. Now that’s called devotion. Hrithik Roshan sure has loads of it. No wonder he’s one of the biggies out here.
