Ajay Devgn Tells Saif Ali Khan And Kareena Kapoor Not To Get Hitched

 Ajay Devgn is a happily married man but when he was asked to give some marital advice to Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, the actor said the couple shouldn’t get married. The incident happened at the ‘Koffee with Karan’ show where the host of show Karan asked the question during his famous ‘Rapid Fire round’.
Karan has been trying to get Ajay on his couch for the last two seasons and succeeded only this time around and the Golmaal actor has been nothing less than a riot and a shocker at the talk show. He has gone on to give some
amazing answers at the show and without an iota of shyness Ajay gave the advice of Saifeena not to marry.

Well the media houses and the tabloids have started speculating the reasons on why Devgn decided to impart that kind of advice when he is married to Kajol for over a decade now. A source says that there is not much to read in what Ajay said as it was just part of fun and nothing serious into it.
But knowing Karan Johar, will he let such a remark pass-by just like that without prying into getting some more details about it, only the show can divulge more, since none of the
celebrities associated with the comment responded when asked. Even SOL’s managing director Fazila Allana, the show’s producer declined to comment on Ajay’s advice to Saifeena.
One thing that everyone says that Ajay was a blast at the talk show and in spite of being the sole guest, the episode is going to be an amazing one.

 Knowing that her Little Monsters have been itching to hear her new music, Lady GaGa generously posted lyrics of her first single "Born This Way" on Twitter in full. She wrote the song herself and contributed in the production table along with duo Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow.

"My mama told me when I was young, we are all born superstars/ She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on, in the glass of her boudoir/ 'There's nothin wrong with lovin who you are,' She said, 'cause he made you perfect, babe'/ 'So hold your head up girl and you'll go far, listen to me when I say'."

"Don't be a drag, just be a queen/ Whether you're broke or evergreen/ You're
black, white, beige, chola descent/ You're lebanese, you're orient/ Whether life's disabilities/ Left you outcast, bullied, or teased rejoice and love yourself today/ 'Cause baby you were born this way."

"No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life/ I'm on the right track baby, I was born to survive/ No matter black, white or beige chola or orient made/ I'm on the right track baby, I was born to be brave." The full lyrics can be found on her Twitlonger.

That day, GaGa also talked to Ellen DeGeneres confirming that she is going to showcase the new single live at the Grammy Awards on February 13.

Casting Director Says Saoirse Ronan Joins 'The Hobbit'

 Saoirse Ronan will possibly join "The Hobbit" adventure. She is reportedly cast in the film which is going to shoot in New Zealand after casting director Ros Hubbard let it slip out that "The Lovely Bones" starlet will be joined by her family when she is filming the movie.

"....Working with Peter Jackson is like working with a family. So they'll have a great time. Saoirse's family will go too," she said when asked by IFTN about the presence of Irish actors Aidan Turner, James Nesbitt and Ronan in "The Hobbit". "Everyone is very close and very loving on those sorts of jobs. It's not like typical studio movies at all."
The casting director did not mention Ronan's role, but in previous rumor she was said in talks for the role of Itaril. The 16-year-old actress however hinted that she had not been offered the part, saying earlier this month, "Yeah if I was asked, certainly," when asked if she would join the cast of "The Hobbit".

If Ronan indeed signs up for "The Hobbit", she will reunite with "The Lovely Bones" director Peter Jackson who is on board to helm the upcoming adventure film. The filmmaker is currently recovering after undergoing surgery for a perforated ulcer and his recovery will only cause "a slight delay to the start of filming" which was scheduled to start in February, the movie's production company confirmed via a statement.

"The Hobbit" has tapped Martin Freeman to portray main character Bilbo Baggins. Meanwhile, "The Lord of the Rings" stars Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett and Elijah Wood are set to reprise their roles in the two-part film that will serve as a prequel to "LOTR".

Warner Bros. plans to release the first part of the movie in December 2012, followed by "The Hobbit 2" in December 2013.

Before starring in "The Lovely Bones", Saoirse Ronan has been featured in "Atonement" and "City of Ember". She can be seen in "The Way Back (2011)" which is currently playing in limited U.S. theaters and has wrapped "Hanna".
