When Priyanka ate chips in the loo for three years in US!



Though she is the reigning queen of Bollywood these days, Priyanka Chopra has had her share of embarrassing and bashful moments. Now she does not hesitate to talk about her days before she hit stardom. The actress has revealed that at one point of time, before she became an actress, she used to eat chips in the loo!

In a TV chat show recently, Priyanka revealed that she had gone to Boston to study at the age of 13, and talked about her experience in USA. Since the theme of the day on the show was ‘Chhote Shehar, Bade Sapne’, Priyanka revealed, “It was a huge culture shock when I went to study for three years to Boston at the age of 13.”

“I would never enter the cafeteria simply because I didn’t know how to stand in the line, where to pay money, where and how to take the food laid out. I didn’t want to look like an idiot, so I used to take chips from the vending machine and eat them in the toilet. This is how I managed for three years,” she said.

It seems that it’s not just superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood who has some really weird stories to tell about the US!

Grief-stricken Kelly Preston cancels public speech

Hollywood actor John Travolta`s wife Kelly Preston has cancelled her plans to talk in public about the death of their son Jett as she is unable to overcome her grief.Jett died in January this year after suffering a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas, Femalefirst reported.

Preston, who had initially agreed to talk about the tragedy at a women`s conference in October, hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger`s wife Maria Shriver, backed out saying she could not overcome her grief.

"It is with my sincere apologies that I must pull out from speaking at the conference. I am sorry, but I truly believed that I could do it. Otherwise I never would have said that I could. But I am still deeply in the process of healing, and it`s just too soon," she said in a statement.

Shriver, who is mourning the deaths of her mother Eunice Kennedy, and uncle Senator Edward Kennedy, has also released a statement, saying, "I know how hard it was for Kelly to make this decision and she has my complete support and understanding".

Jackson`s coffin to be encased in concrete: Brother



Michael Jackson`s 18,000 pound gold-plated casket will be encased in solid concrete to keep it safe from robbers and fanatic fans, his brother Marlon has revealed.
The coffin will be encased in deep concrete to ward off grave robbers and ghouls when it is finally entered at the exclusive Holly Terrace Grand Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Thursday, alongside Hollywood legends like Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable.

Jackson`s children – Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, have written "Daddy we love you, we miss you" on notes which will be placed in the coffin alongwith his trademark single white glove, a news website reported.

"This will be Michael`s final curtain call, the last show. His shell will be gone but his spirit lives on," 52-year-old Marlon said.

The private 45-minute ceremony will be attended by family and close friends including soul legend Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Motown record label founder Berry Gordy.

Jackson would have turned 51 on August 29. The pop star was initially to be buried on his birthday but Marlon said the ceremony was moved because of his mother Katherine.

"I wanted to lay him to rest on the day the Lord created him. But my mother really didn`t want to bury him on that day," he said.

Jackson`s death on June 25 has been ruled as homicide by the LA county coroner.
