Baby for Furtado anadian chart-topper Nelly Furtado C has announced that she’s expecting her first child in September.And it looks set to be a hectic few months for the 24-year-old, as her second album, Fresh Off The Boat, is due to hit the shelves just two months later. The singer says she is taking a traditional ap- proach to motherhood. The father’s identity remains under wraps, meanwhile, though he is said to be a Canadian musician and Nelly’s current partner. In 2000, the performer’s debut album, Whoa Nelly, stormed the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. But fans of the Grammy-win- ning singer shouldn’t expect motherhood to be an influence on the new record. ‘‘Two or three years from now you’ll hear the baby al- bum,’’ says Nelly.The new disc is said to have an unpolished folk sound, borrowing heavily on her Portuguese roots. Its title is also a ref- erence to the struggles of her ancestors upon arrival in Canada. Bad man romancing Katrina oom is finally going to hit B the theatres soon. Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff and Gulshan Grover play the three dons who en- counter three super models. Amitabh gets to romance Padma Lakshmi, Jackie gets Madhu Sapre and Gulshan Grover Katrina Kaif. People who have seen the film are talking about a hot seduction scene between Amitabh and Padma. Apparently, there’s also a very hot scene between Gulshan and Katrina which ends up in a hot kiss.
