Controversial actress-model Poonam Pandey has yet again made headlines after she said she “faked” her death to start a national conversation on cervical cancer. In the bargain, like she always manages to do, she has left behind a trail of polarised views on social media.
When Poonam’s social media account released a statement on her having succumbed to cervical cancer at 32, the industry was left in a state of shock, while many grieved several felt it was a publicity gimmick.
Kangana Ranaut, whose show ‘Lock Upp’ gave Pandey her reality TV star status, was the first to ‘mourn’ her ‘death’.
The actress wrote on her Instagram Stories, “This is so sad. Losing a young woman to cancer is a catastrophe. Om Shanti!”
Now, after Pandey’s re-appearance, her critics are accusing her of engaging in a publicity stunt and being insensitive to the feelings of people living with cervical cancer.

Giving us a sneak peek of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s resplendent avatar was ace fashion stylist Mohit Rai who took to Instagram to share some amazing behind the scene pictures of her latest Ad shoot. The flaming orange customized Swapnil Shinde gown that Kareena Kapoor Khan sported distinctly reminded us of the time when Mira Rajput, Shahid Kapoor’s wifey dearest had donned in July last year at the Iifa 2017 Awards. Barring a few subtle differences, the Swapnil Shinde gown featured a fitted bodice and a flowy silhouette. Who do you think wore it better?
The post Oops! Is Kareena Kapoor Khan taking style cues from Mira Rajput? appeared first on Bollywood Hungama.

If you think that this season of "Project Runway" has been a little bit of a letdown, you're not alone: Beloved mentor Tim Gunn completely agrees, going so far as to say he "hated" it.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn sounded off on the show's about-to-wrap season, telling the site, "I hated season 14." He continued, "I felt that other than a couple of designers, they weren't working up to their potential. The whole thing was lackluster."
Those are strong words from Gunn, who typically takes a gentle approach with contestants, guiding them to smarter design choices through frank but sensitive critiques and tough-but-sensitive love. But apparently that love just wasn't enough this time around, and Gunn said that had a lot to do with the contestants themselves, who he says "just weren't hungry" enough for the show.
"Their audition videos from home, you know, they're sitting by a pool,...

There are currently six designers left on "Project Runway" Season 14, and -- as it happens -- six PR designers showed at New York Fashion Week in September. This is how they do it every year, although they usually have a few more "decoy" collections, and usually the designers of each collection are known. This time, they showed anonymously. But by now we know the designers of the 2015 season, and it's pretty clear who did what. And those collections can give us an idea of who might be winning this season.
We won't see all of these designs on TV, we'll just see the finalists. But Blogging Project Runway has all the collections here:
