Zoolander fanatics have been eagerly waiting for 14 years for a sequel and the duo gave them a little taste of what to expect from ‘Zoolander 2’ at the Paris Fashion Week. They were dressed in printed suits and coats over their shoulders which they very fashionably threw away giving the ‘blue-steel’ impression on the runway in the French capital.

Amit Trivedi on redefining Bollywood film music and composing the soundtrack for ‘Bombay Velvet’

Music composer Amit Trivedi’s score for Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D in 2009 set a new trend as far as Bollywood film music was concerned. The composer delivered an eclectic mix of numbers which incorporated varied genres of music ranging from brass-band sounds of ‘Tauba Tera Jalwa’ to rock with ‘Nayan Tarse’, a first for any Hindi film.

Amit Trivedi: While I was making the music of ‘Dev D’ in 2007, I’d listen to the radio every night to understand what worked. My biggest fear was the difference between my compositions and the type of music people liked back then. There was absolutely no connection in the hit Bollywood scores and my music, which was when I decided to leave everything to God and see how it goes.

Trivedi’s gamble paid off and he bagged the National Film Award for Best Music Direction that year. The modern day Devdas’ narrative was strung together with tunes which were relevant for the times.

Amit Trivedi: I thought let me do a sound track or a score based on how someone with a broken heart would react today. He won’t obviously indulge in ‘Madira’ or ‘Pan’. There are other stronger substances available now. Keeping that in mind, I wanted to make the music trippier, edgier, more laid back and grungier, which comes from the story itself.

While Trivedi made everyone sit up and take notice with his tracks for ‘Dev D’, the film which marked his debut in Bollywood was Rajkumar Gupta’s ‘Aamir’ in 2008. Soon Trivedi was also roped in by Vikramaditya Motwane to compose the soundtrack for ‘Udaan’. The composer considers himself lucky to have started his career with films which had some of the best scripts and also gave him the opportunity to experiment.

Amit Trivedi: For someone who had just started his career, getting to read scripts like ‘Udaan’ and ‘Aamir’, was very overwhelming. We all know what works in Hindi films; the romantic ballads, item songs, dance numbers or disco numbers and these two films had none of these elements, that’s what excited me the most.

From the rock anthem ‘Dilli Dilli’ in ‘No One Killed Jessica’ to the kitschy burlesque dance number ‘Dreamum Wakeup’ in the movie ‘Aiyya’ or for that matter the playful love song ‘Pareshan’ from ‘Isahqzaade’, Trivedi’s versatility has been his biggest strength. The composer also does not shy away from using new genres like ‘dubstep’ in Bollywood film music.

Amit Trivedi: While working on ‘Ishaqzaade’ Habib Sir (Habib Fasial) wanted me to compose music for one of his promos that had a lot of pace in terms of the visuals. I had to create a tempo which would fit the parameters of that pace so I decided to break the composition down into half. Breaking the music down into two parts sparked the idea of including dubstep. When I pitched the idea of dubstep for the promo to both Habib Faisal and Aditya Chopra, they had no idea about that genre. I was insistent and instead of denying, they asked me to compose a song for the movie.

His songs for Vikramaditya Motwane’s period film ‘Lootera’ garnered him the bouquets as well as the brickbats. Allegedly the film’s theme music was uncannily similar to that of Hollywood film ‘One Day’. But that did not take away from the overall reception of his songs.

And we leave you with Trivedi’s thoughts on his upcoming project with director Anurag Kashyap, ‘Bombay Velvet’, yet again a period film for which he will be experimenting with Jazz music.

Amit Trivedi: The most exciting thing right now is ‘Bombay Velvet’, because for the first time probably I am trying to do Hindi jazz. The film is set in the fifties and the sixties and it is about life in Bombay in that era. At that time jazz was very active and there were a lot of jazz clubs. It was very exciting for me to jump into that territory, to do jazz from back then. It was a big challenge to bring that style of music to fit in the Bombay culture and environment while keeping things contemporary. The movie stars Ranbir and Anushka, so the music had to be able to speak a contemporary language.

Can you believe these celebs are turning 50 this year?

Take a look at these celebrities who will be bringing in their 50th birthday this year! That’s right, these gorgeous faces will be marking half a century in 2015 (and we’re sure they’ll continue to look way younger than their actual age). Like they say, ‘Age is just a number’ and Hollywood seems to be the perfect example.

Comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer and director all rolled into one, Chris Rock is set to celebrate his 50^th birthday in February this year. This father of two beautiful daughters is getting younger by the day and it’s just impossible to believe he has hit the mid-life mark already.

Andre Romelle Young, popularly known by his stage name, Dr. Dre will be celebrating his golden jubilee in February this year as well and it is hard to believe. The uber-talented rapper and record producer is known to be the man behind Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and many more famous artists. Birthdays of stars like him just mean another year of entertaining the world with his eye for music and artists.

Emmy Award nominee Kristin Davis, famous for her role as ‘Charlotte’ in the epic series ‘Sex and the City’ will celebrate her 50^thbirth anniversary on 24^th February looking like a 30-something. How is that possible? SERIOUSLY?

Our very own ‘Tony Stark’ a.k.a ‘Iron Man’ turns fifty on 24th April. With an amazing list of credits to his name Robert Downey, Jr. still manages to look as fresh and spunky as he used to when ‘Ally McBeal’ was on-air.

With multiple awards in her kitty, the legendary author of the all-time favourite ‘Harry Potter’ series, JK Rowling is set to step into her 50^th year with a magical touch on the 31st of July.

Son of comedy legends Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Ben Stiller is also turning 50 this year. Known to crack people up with his comic talent, we hope the Emmy Award winner celebrates his birthday the ‘Zoolander’ way!

English actress and model Elizabeth Hurley will celebrate her 50^th birthday this June! Yes, you read that right… the lady who can pass off as a 25-year old without blinking an eye is also set to celebrate her golden jubilee year.

The oldest member of the American TV series ‘Entourage‘ Kevin Dillon turns 50 on 19^th August. This dapper dude does not look a day over 30, don’t you agree?

The Queen of Country Pop Shania Twain will celebrate her life’s 50^th milestone in August this year and as unbelievable as it sounds, it is true!

The ‘Two and a Half Men’ star Charlie Sheen is turning 50 this year and this bad boy is far away from looking like it. From being one of the highest-paid actors on television to being famous for his recurrent battles in personal life, this star definitely does not look a day over 30!

Fashion trends for men – Autumn/Winter 2014
Every season comes with a list of trends that makes the transition into different weather more exciting. Here’s a curated list of winter fashion trends for men that must be followed to stay ahead in the dressing game.
1. Patterned jackets
Jackets have always been an indispensable part of a man’s winter wardrobe and this season is like any other. However, a little experimental twist in terms of patterns and prints on jackets can really add that something extra to your ensemble, creating a look that promises to grab eye-balls wherever you go.
1. Movember moustache and beard
Who says that the Movember moustache and beard cannot continue in December? Or even January for that matter! That scruffy look goes perfectly with the winter attire, plus all that facial hair is the most natural shelter to brave the cold wintery winds. How about growing a beard this winter if you haven’t already?
1. Quilted/Bomber jackets
These jackets look cool and make for one of the safest fashion trends for men. And they keep you warm. Also, they never go out of style. Those are reasons enough to strut quilted/bomber jackets around the winter.
1. Corduroy Suits/Shirts
Ah! The classic look! Winters are all about subtle shades and these colours when paired with a fabric like corduroy, the look stands apart. Suits, shirts and trousers in corduroy are meant for the cold weather. Wear them.
1. Layering
Layering different types of clothes to get a whole new look is the best thing about winters. A few pieces clubbed together in different combinations can result in multiple looks for a man’s attire. Scarves, mufflers, sweaters, jackets, shirts etc. can all be layered in various ways for getting that dapper look!
1. Wintery bag
Sling bags, messenger bags, duffle bags etc. in colours of tan and grey would make for a perfect accessory to go with a man’s winter ensemble. Completing the look, these bags are not just an aesthetic addition but they also provide great utility for keeping your belongings safe.
1. Shearling
For those who don’t know what a shearling is, it is fluffy animal wool derived from sheep or lambs mostly used in jackets. Most commonly found around the inner linings and collars in a man’s jacket, shearling is going to be one of the biggest recurring trend for this season.
1. Monochromes
Well, that’s just a winter thing! Experiment with the blacks and whites or just add a touch of a bright shade with your monochromes and voila you’re the perfect winter guy!

Likewise, actress Huma Qureshi upped the glam quotient looking stunning in designer Masaba Gupta’s outfit from her new collection. Qureshi marked her presence at Masaba’s show along with the designer’s mother, Neena Gupta.

Just like last season, actress Neha Dhupia was the Twitter face of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week. She was also a part of the Wills Fashion Academy along with Anchor-VJ Gaurav Kapur. The dazzling duo together helped people with their fashion IQ in fun and quirky ways!

11 most common phrases you’ll hear from a hung-over person

Had a heavy night? This post is for those of you who are tired of dealing with their ‘alcohol enthusiast’ friends. Here’s a list of things people say when they are hung-over and how you should react to them. Take a look!

1. Sh*t I’m so hungover!

Now that’s a classic one. Let’s face it! Each one of us, at some point, has said it (unless you’re a teetotaler). But encountering those golden words coming from your peers must seem like a common phenomenon. Perhaps it’s time you make your peace with it!

2. I need to go on a detox

‘No Soda. No Carbs. No Alcohol. Period!’ But the real question is – Will it last long before you find yourself sitting again at the bar counter making merry with the sweet poison of life?

3. I could really use a power nap!

Agreed! Power naps always help. But what was the point of getting up early in the first place if you really had to tell me that?

4. Please get some red bull for me?

You might want to add a little vodka to that! I mean life’s all about having fun right? If red bull makes you active, believe me – a little alcohol with it would do wonders. Like they say, only poison can cure poison!

5. Wait! Did that happen last night?

You don’t wanna know that! Take my word. How about I text you later and tell you when you’re not in front of me?! It will save us both the embarrassment.

9. Why are you talking so loud? It’s annoying!!

Well, the only annoying human being in this room might be you… Going on and on and on about how your head’s going to explode. Run before somebody ties a bomb around you and actually makes you blow up!

10. Did I text my ex last night?

Maybe you did. Now is the time you should go through your call logs and pictures from last night.

11. God get me through this day!

Leave God alone! Stop drinking so much.
