Mumbai: As the sixth edition of controversial reality TV show ‘Bigg Boss’, hosted by superstar Salman Khan, drew to a close; Urvashi Dholakia, Imam Siddique, Niketan Madhok and Sana Khan were the ones who made it to the grand finale.

Dholakia, a very popular TV actress, best known for her role of Komolika appeared a strong contender to win the show’s 6th season. However, model Niketan Madhok also, initially looked likely to be named the winner, leaving little scope for Sana Khan and the infamous Imam Siddique. However, Madhok was the first to be evicted from the house.

Third time host, Salman Khan did not leave a single stone unturned to add that extra spice to the already sizzling hot show. The hunk of an actor was at his wittiest best and his spontaneous acts made a million hearts skip a beat.

Now that the controversies and the drama inside the ‘Bigg Boss 6’ have come to end, we wonder which inmate would end up making the most of the fame garnered after participating in the show.

And if you wonder if a show like ‘Bigg Boss’ can really do wonders to someone, then here’s reminding you of Sunny Leone. Remember how she became an inmate of the house last season and ended up winning a role in ace filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s film ‘Jism 2’?

Nonetheless, the house has played home to a number of controversial figures who have left an indelible impact on the viewer’s minds. And we are sure Dolly Bindra is one such celebrity!

Mini Biography

Jennifer was born on July 24, 1969, in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx. Her father, David, was a computer technician. Her mother, Guadalupe, taught kindergarten. Jennifer is the middle of three daughters. Her elder sister, Leslie, is a housewife who sings opera. Her younger sister, Lynda, is a DJ on New York's WKTU, a VH1 VJ, and a morning news show correspondent on New York's Channel 11. Jennifer's parents were born in Puerto Rico, but did not meet until both came to America. Her mother's parents were Europeans who settled in Puerto Rico. She says that it was her parents' work ethic that made a difference in her life. Jennifer took singing and dancing lessons from age 5. She attended 12 years of Catholic school, including an all-girl high school. She played softball and tennis in high school and was a gymnast.

After high school, she briefly worked in a law office. During this time, she continued dance classes at night. At 18, she left home because her mother was scared by her decision to pursue show business. With casting on "In Living Color" (1990) in 1990, she moved to L.A., but initially hated it. Finally her boy friend, David Cruz, moved to be with her there and she learned to accept her new environment. Her career took off from her "Living Color" stint and reached new peaks with her portrayal of slain Latino singer Selena (1997).

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock share actress award

Voters for the Critics' Choice Awards could not pick an outright best actress winner, so split the prize between Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock.

Streep, a winner for Julie and Julia, and Bullock, who won for The Blind Side, both attended the Los Angeles ceremony to collect their awards.

Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker picked up the best film award, with Kathryn Bigelow also winning for best director.

Avatar won five prizes, including best action movie and technical awards.

Directed by James Cameron, the ex-husband of Bigelow, the film was honoured for its cinematography, editing, art direction, sound and visual effects.

The best actor award went to Jeff Bridges for country music film Crazy Heart.

The best supporting actor and actress awards were collected by Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds and Mo'Nique for Precious respectively.

Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic Inglourious also won best original screenplay and ensemble cast, which included Brad Pitt, Eli Roth and Michael Fassbender.

Musical movie Nine, starring Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman, failed to win in any of the 10 categories in which it was nominated.

Bullock, who on Friday donated $1m (£614,798) to aid the medical charity Doctors Without Borders' relief effort in Haiti, used her time on the winners' podium to talk about the disaster.

"We're all so lucky to be here tonight when so many others are in pain," she said.

"I hope we can all send good love and thoughts and whatever we can."

Last year, voters for the Critics' Choice Awards plumped for Slumdog Millionaire as best film, paving the way for the British hit to sweep the Oscars, where it won eight awards on the night.

Britney Spears recalls top 75 'absurd' stories of 2009

Singer Britney Spears has hit back at the gossip columns, listing the top 75 "most ridiculous" or "patently absurd" stories written about her in 2009.

Published on her website, The Year in BS said there were more than 13,000 stories written about the 28-year-old.

The list includes various reports of new boyfriends, emotional breakdowns and one claiming her family was once so poor they ate squirrels.

At number one was a story about Spears dating choreographer Sandip Soparrkar.

In January, the Daily Mirror reported Spears was dating Soparrkar and that she had hosted a private New Year's Eve party to introduce him to her friends and parents.

'Factually inaccurate'

The Daily Star later reported in October that sales of squirrel meat soared after a new Spears biography included claims the star's family would eat whatever father Jamie could hunt.

"We ranked the ones we believe were the most ridiculous," the post on the website said.

"Either because they were factually inaccurate, because they reported the patently absurd, or because we believe they are simply offensive to the sensibilities."

The list culled mostly from US and British websites, celebrity magazines and tabloid newspapers, also included allegations she was being drugged by her father and supposed demands for stripper poles in her room at London's Dorchester Hotel to help her keep in shape.

The star quashed rumours that she was pregnant with a third child, was addicted to gardening and under orders from her father to read the Bible every day to keep her "on the straight and narrow".

Several of the stories also related to Spears's recent troubled tour of Australia, where it was reported fans had walked out of a concert in Perth because of her lip-synching.

Sesame Street star Alaina Reed Amini dies aged 63

Alaina Reed Amini, best known for playing Olivia Robinson on long-running children's show Sesame Street, has died aged 63, her publicist has confirmed.

The star - previously known as Alaina Reed Hall - died Thursday at a hospital in Santa Monica after a two-year battle with breast cancer.

Her stage credits included Chicago and Hair. She also appeared in several movies, including Cruel Intentions.

She also guest-starred in various TV shows such as ER and NYPD Blue.

Reed-Amini joined the Sesame Street cast in 1976 and played a photographer and sister of the character Gordon.

The actress remained on the show until 1988 and also starred in NBC's 227 playing the landlady and best friend of the show's main character.

During the final series Reed-Amini married a character who was played by her real-life husband, Kevin Peter Hall, who died in 1991.

She is survived by her husband, Tamim Amini, and two children from a previous marriage.

According to her husband, no memorial service will be held, but a celebration of her life is being planned for next year.

'Grisly' Brittany Murphy artwork withdrawn

Promotional artwork for a DVD release showing late actress Brittany Murphy lying apparently lifeless in a bathtub has been pulled by a US rental chain.

Redbox said it planned to complete the removal of DVD covers and posters from its outlets by 1 January.

The artwork promotes Deadline, a direct to DVD title in which Murphy played a writer staying in a haunted house.

A private funeral service is expected to be held later at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

'On her game'

It is the same cemetery where singer Michael Jackson was laid to rest earlier this year.

Murphy, 32, was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after collapsing in the bathroom of her Hollywood home on Sunday.

The county coroner's office is awaiting the results of toxicology and tissue tests before releasing an official cause of death.

Best known for her roles in Clueless and 8 Mile, Murphy completed a number of films this year that are currently awaiting release.

The director of one, a thriller called Abandoned, said she was delightful to work with and "was on her game".

"She was such a pro and so good at her craft that she could turn it on and off as necessary," said Michael Feifer.
