Twitter Alert

Filmmaker Karan Johar decided to use Twitter to put an end to rumours about his next production.

Filmmaker Karan Johar decided to use Twitter to put an end to rumours about his next production. “The cast of Dostana 2 is Abhishek, John and Katrina and we start filming early next year. Bringing Aishwariya into this is unwarranted,” he tweeted, responding to reports that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did not want her husband Abhishek to work with Katrina Kaif.

Amitabh Bachchan has extended his best wishes to actor Salman Khan for his film Dabangg, which released on Friday.

“Salman, all good wishes for Dabangg - the promos and song ‘Munni’ [are] fantastic,” Bachchan posted to Khan on the micro-blogging site.

Singer Kanye West has apologised to country singer Taylor Swift for barging on to the stage during Swift’s award acceptance speech in MTV movie awards last year.

He was criticised when he said an award for Taylor should go to his pal, singer Beyonce Knowles.

While apologising, West called himself a “psycho” and wrote on Twitter, “Beyonce didn’t need that. MTV didn’t need that and Taylor and her family, friends and fans definitely didn’t want or need that.”

He added, “I’m sorry Taylor.”

Dailystar.co.uk reports that singer Lily Allen tried to calm him down tweeting, “It’s really no big deal bro. One little mistake, massively blown out of proportion. You’re being way too hard on yourself.”

West responded, “I am responsible for those who love and represent me and what they have to deal with on a day to day (basis) defending the American Psycho.”
