At 68, Big B wants to ride this beauty!


After riding what he calls the "beast bike" for "Bbuddah - Hoga Tera Baap", megastar Amitabh Bachchan is eager to buy his own Harley Davidson.

"What is it with men and the sound of a mean machine. The roar of a speed car, the rush of air and sound in a double exhaust bike, that kick of acceleration as you push the pedal flat, that jerk of change on the Concord, when it was functional, as it went from normal to Mach 3 at 55,000 feet in the air! Is it the same with the ladies too?" Amitabh wrote on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.

"Soon after it was the adrenalin pumping beast bike, the Harley 'twixt my legs. And what a monster it is. I have to say though that having done it, and for the first time, it is an experience that now coerces me to have one of my own.

OOOOO! Baby!! It is another world as you stride all the leather and studs and white metal that surrounds you. Quite something!" he further wrote.

Meanwhile, age seems to be taking its toll on the 68-year-old.

"Running at 70 is a bit of a bother! You feel you can move with some fluidity, but no! The legs do not respond to what the mind is telling it to do and you suddenly realize that the weight of your body is not that lithe anymore," he wrote.

"So as I sit down on my 'blogespherechair' to fill in my adventures, I am cushioned with hot water bags and electronic heating devices to ease out the numerous folds of muscles, that had remained dormant and in retirement for a very long time," he added.

Priyanka openly bonding with dushman Bebo's boyfriend Saif


Priyanka Chopra drops in on the set of 'Agent Vinod' to meet Saif

Priyanka Chopra is openly bonding with dushman Kareena Kapoor's boyfriend Saif Ali Khan and his business partner Dinesh Vijan. Bebo is obviously seeing red.

Says a source, "Saif has been shooting for his home production Agent Vinod all this week during the day at Filmistan Studios in Goregaon while Priyanka has been shooting nights for Karan Johar's Agneepath in Versova."

Why so curious?

Now, stars drop in to meet other stars they are friends with, when shooting in the same studio or in the vicinity. Interestingly, Priyanka and Saif, though socially cordial, are not friendly.

"And yet, PC, who was shooting for an ad film in the afternoon at Filmistan asked Dinesh to show her the Agent Vinod set, after her shoot was done.

She went around, met everyone from Saif to the director Shriram Raghavan, chatted with them for half an hour and then left for her Agneepath shoot in Versova, " says the source.

When Kareena heard this, she was furious. Says another source, "PC is curious about all things Bebo and keeps tabs by checking with common friends."

As it turns out, one of the reasons the Kaminey couple Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka parted ways was because the latter felt that her guy wasn't as emotionally invested in the relationship as he was with Bebo.

Getting even

That said, getting friendly with Saif could be PC's way of getting even with the Golmaal 3 gal. What she doesn't realise is that the two are deeply committed to each other and have eyes only for each other.

Naturally, people close to Kareena scoff at rumours suggesting she is upset with Piggy Chops for trying to bond with Saif.

According to them Kareena is merely amused at PC's attempts and ignores such things as she and Saif are confident in their love for each other.

Kareena and Priyanka remained unavailable for comment.

Katrina-Salman go on a lunch date


The exes met professionally and were cordial to each other

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif met yesterday for the photo shoot of Kabir Khan's next, a Yash Raj film, followed by lunch at Salman's place.

An insider reveals, "The photo shoot happened in the compound of Khan's home Galaxy Apartments. After the wrap-up, he invited Kat to join him for lunch at his place.

The actress is very close to Sallu's family and has been a regular at his place. She immediately agreed. There was no discomfort or awkwardness between them."

The couple split a year ago and was last seen at an award function in February.

Sources close to Katrina take pains to point out that the meeting was "purely professional" and that Sallu and she are "not getting back together". Okay, then!

UPDATE

"Kabir Khan's film is tentatively titled Ek Tha Tiger, contrary to the rumoured title Sher Khan," reveals the source.
