Glued

The apple of Deepa Mehta’s eye at the moment, Preity Zinta found out the hard way that shellfish does not agree with her. Luckily she had the Galliano jacket.

Macho man

We heard Mammootty’s developed a fetish for bright yellow shirts and red trousers. We are glad the Southern star opted for sober white for DIFF.

Miss popularity

Salma sent the media into a tiz when she auctioned a role in her Emmy award-winning prime time TV hit Ugly Betty, plus a personal meeting with her. It went for a bid of Dhs128,600 at the amfAR charity auction, where Cartier was the grand patron.

Tips from Nic

Not even Nicolas Cage and producer Charles Roven could inject any red carpet cheer into the Grim Brothers (you know who).

Grim brothers

Wonder what annoyed Casey and Ben Affleck so much that they refused to smile at the camera. Didn’t Ben laugh a lot when Jennifer Lopez was

Honoured

Might be Oliver Stone’s controversial film on Bush, but with this gesture he says he is not perturbed about reactions. And Jeffrey Wright seems to agree.

Here’s the hero

Imagine when these kids get to show off their Mummy hero Brendan Fraser’s autograph at school. WOW!

Three’s company

We love Nandita’s sari, her necklace, her poise ...umm...her arm candy (Sanjay Suri) and... Sahana Goswami’s smile. Nandita’s here for her film Firaaq – and we were thinking it was Phir Aag. Trust our skewed brains!

Abra-ca-dabra

Abhishek and Rakeysh loved the abra ride to the press conference venue. Yeah! We know they don’t get to do this in India. The abra would be drowned by fan frenzy.
