The CW Network has ordered a pilot for ‘The Carrie Diaries’, based on the book by ‘Sex and the City’ author Candace Bushnell. A prequel to Bushnell’s mega-popular novel, ‘The Carrie Diaries’ follows a teenage Carrie Bradshaw through her high school years in Connecticut, before she moves to New York and meets her future galpals (and Mr. Big!).

One of Carrie’s BFFs, Samantha Jones, is expected to pop up in the new series, as she does in the book. However, since Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes don’t appear in the book series, they probably won’t appear in the TV show.

Rumors have been circulating for quite some time about the prospect of a ‘SATC’ prequel, and now that the show has the green light, speculation is wild about which fresh-faced young actress will sign on to play the teenage Carrie. Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, and Chloe Moretz are three young stars whose names have been batted around in connection with the project. For now, though an actress hasn’t been announced, it’s rumored that ‘Gossip Girl’ producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage have signed on to work on the show.

If the pilot does well and The CW chooses to order a full season (or more) of ‘The Carrie Diaries’, we’ll be getting a juicy look at Carrie’s transition from small-town dreamer and wanna-be writer to the Big Apple fashionista we all know and love. After the success of ‘The Carrie Diaries’, Bushnell also penned ‘Summer and the City’, a sequel exploring Carrie’s adventures once she arrives in New York, so The CW has plenty of material to exploit for multiple seasons.

There’s still no news about a premiere date for the show, so ‘SATC’ fans will just have to ‘Carrie on’ waiting until The CW chooses to release more details about the new series!

This spicy Southern Gothic series stars several sizzling actresses who aren’t afraid to push the limits in any area fashion, beauty, or career-wise.

Evan Rachel Wood, who plays the lesbian vampire queen Sophie Anne, debuted a daring new pixie cut at the season four premiere in Los Angeles last week.

Wood, who is also the face of the Gucci Guilty fragrance, is no stranger to drastic hair transformations; she’s previously been blonde, brunette, and a redhead, sporting everything from short cuts to long locks.

Then there’s Deborah Ann Woll (vampire Jessica Hamby), who proves it’s never a bad thing to go natural–with your haircolor, that is! The actress, who just got done shooting a sexy photo spread for Rolling Stone magazine, stands out in a sea of tanned blondes with her natural red hair and fair skin.

Meanwhile, Anna Paquin channels her inner vixen in a photo spread for the latest issue of V Magazine, on newsstands July 7. In a blonde wig and a series of Marilyn Monroe-worthy get-ups, the New Zealand native dishes about her bisexuality, filming with her husband (Stephen Moyer, who plays the vampire Bill) and what she really thinks of her husband’s avid fans.

Finally, there’s Carrie Preston, who plays Sookie’s waitressing galpal Arlene. Currently sporting a daring auburn ‘do, Preston has made some equally bold career moves. No stranger to hit TV series (she’s also worked on Sex and the City), she’s exploring the indie movie scene with the limited-release film A Bag of Hammers.

You can catch True Blood on Sunday nights on HBO.

Notably absent this time around? Megan Fox, who was cut from the blockbuster franchise and replaced with Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Fox dazzled fans and fashion editors alike with her red carpet fashion sense; will Huntington-Whiteley be able to do the same?

The blonde beauty got off to an admirable start this week, wearing a drapey neon pink number with a thigh-high slit in Moscow, and wowing in Berlin in a sparkly silver backless floor-length gown, channeling the German actress Diane Kruger. Fashion websites went nuts oohing and aahing over how she paired the showstopping silver dress with a sideswept hairdo and simple diamond earrings, so it looks like her fashion sense may prove to be first-class.

And how does the lovely Brit stay fit enough to slink around in all of these couture gowns?

She’s confessed that she loves to eat, but also admits that she works out whenever she has the chance. One of her favorite workouts? Boxing! She says she mixes this high-intenisty workout with other forms of cardio in order to keep her body strong, toned, and healthy. (She certainly has access to the best workout partner of all: action star boyfriend Jason Statham, who’s known for his lean, muscled shape.)

The slim star, who graces the cover of the July/August issue of Women’s Health magazine, also says that her healthy habits were influenced by her fitness instructor mother, who made sure she didn’t have a sedentary childhood; and talks about her preference for ‘clean’, healthy foods, like organic fruit, over processed and packaged goods.

The California native might be building her portfolio, but she’s almost as well known for her fashion and beauty sense as she is for her career moves. So, what are her style secrets?

For starters, Blake has that perpetual golden glow. Use a gradual self-tanning lotion, like Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer ($8) to get the sun-kissed effect without the burn. Moisturization is also key to glowy, healthy skin, so remember to slather on a good body lotion daily to ward off dry skin before it starts.

For hair as lush and shiny as Blake’s, use your favorite deep conditioning treatment 1-2 times per week to keep hair hydrated and healthy, then use a monthly glazing treatment to boost your hair’s color and shine. (One to try: John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze, $10.)

When it comes to her makeup, Blake tends to stick to a low-key palette that lets her natural beauty show through, with staples like tinted moisturizer and pinky gloss. The finishing touch? Several coats of black mascara; to perfectly mimic Blake’s fluttery fringe, use a lash comb to fully separate your lashes.

Finally, take a cue from Blake and experiment with color, whether it’s head-to-toe red or an unexpected combo, like turquoise and deep purple. If that famous smile is any indication, she’s having fun expressing herself through her fashion choices, and you should, too!

‘My Name is Khan’ is directed by Karan JOhar and the rights have been sold for 100 crores to Fox Studios

Shah Rukh Khan plays the role of ‘Rizwan Khan who is suffering from Asperger Syndrome, a kind of autism disorder. He is married to ‘Kajol’ who plays the character of ‘Mandira’.

‘My Name is Khan’ is a epic love story of a couple based in LA. Rizwan will be arrested in connection with 9/11 terrorist attach, but the story doesn`t focus much on the attack, but explores the period afterwards. Rizwan was taken into custody for his ‘suspicious’ behaviour.

He happens to meet ‘Radha’ played by ‘Sheetal Menon’ a therapist who helps him overcome the ordeal.

After the treatment ‘Rizwan’ begins his journey to meet President inorder to clear his name.

Jimmy Shergill, Zarina Wahab, Sonya Jehan, Arif Zakaria, Tanay Chheda, Parvin Dabas, Arjun Mathur, Navneet Nishan, Christopher B.Duncan, Shane Harper also share the screen space in supporting roles.

His condition is really a curse. He falls in love and marries an artist (McAdams) with whom he has been friends since she was six years old. Trouble ahead: in the course of their married life, the wife has to cope with his frequent disappearances and run-ins with the law.

German-born director Schwentke, who previously helmed Flight Plan (2005), appears to be constrained by the implausibility of the tangled storyline. Admittedly, there are some moments of tenderness such as the chance encounter on the subway between the librarian and his long-deceased mother.

Slickly shot in wintry Toronto locations (the Canadian city substituted for Chicago), the melancholic momentum is intensified by a treacly background music score. Incidentally the troubled production was held up for more than a year.
When they first meet as grown-ups, the time traveler doesn’t recognise his future wife. When she tries to explain how she knows all about him, he exclaims, “it’s too much”.
