Obama praises Aamir’s work

An invite to the prime minister's private dinner for the US first couple was an honour enough, but when President Barack Obama praised his work, Aamir Khan was on cloud nine.

The star, who was invited to the dinner by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at his Race Course Road residence, was cornered by the waiting media as soon as the dinner got over around 10 pm last night.

"President Obama said he has heard a lot about my work and my films," said Aamir, who was clad in a cream coloured kurta pyjama.

"It (the dinner) was an opportunity to meet big personalities. I am a big fan of Manmohanji and I am happy that he called me up," he told the journalists.

Aamir, 45, also praised the dinner platter and revealed that First Lady Michelle Obama had told him that she has danced to his title number from Rang De Basanti.

Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar and his actress-activist wife Shabana Azmi were also invited to the grand feast.

Mallika Sherawat in a film on ‘Female Barack Obama’

Will we finally see her talent more than her skin?

Mallika Sherawat seems to be making all the right moves these days and is managing to do better for herself while in Los Angeles, than she did in India.

Stationed in LA for her under-production film “Hisss”, Mallika has been using Twitter to keep in touch with fans and document her experiences in Hollywood. Her Twitter posts have been popular, whether she talks about her movie or following hot model Amber Ettinger who loves showing her body too.

Now, Mallika has signed a film titled “Female Barack Obama” in which she will be playing a character inspired by San Francisco Attorney General Kamala Harris, known as the “Female Barack Obama” and one of the New York Times’ “most likely women to become the first female President of the United States”.

Harris has Indian and Jamaican ancestry and is the first female district attorney in California. She is now a candidate for the position of attorney general of California for 2010 and has a huge following.

Mallika will begin work on “Female Barack Obama” in October, and considering how popular Harris is, the film, and Mallika, are bound to get a lot of publicity.

We wonder if this film will finally show us more of Mallika’s talent than skin.
