She scores, size wise and price wise. Kareena Kapoor has charmed zillions of Indians… and it's time to dazzle fans across shores. In Pakistan, no less!

Reportedly, Bebo pencilled in Rs 3 crore to endorse 'Firdous Lawns', a topline UAE textile brand. The stunning ad campaign canned at Dubai, illumines KK sporting a variety of ensembles ranging from party wear to conservative salwar kameezes.

A close source states, "Kareena was very impressed with the clothes and she heartily complimented the Pakistani designers over their creations."

Billboards in the Middle East featuring the Indian fashion diva have become a certified hit. Keeping the winning trend in mind, KK would well be endorsing more brands from UAE in the near future.

Guess, Kareena's simply a cut above the rest….

Even as Katrina Kaif assenting to a drastic fee cut for 'Rajneeti' has been cajoling director Prakash Jha to doctor her role cannily keeping the National award in mind, an arch rival has beaten her to that win.

Priyanka Chopra is on cloud nine. Er, make that cloud nineteen! The charming Chopra asserts that she was pleasantly shocked when she was announced winner of the 'Best Actress' National award for her rivetting performance in 'Fashion'! The 56 th National awards committee has certainly gladdened her heart and a sleepless Chopra confesses in a newspaper chat, "I'm really excited. I was hoping but not really expecting it, as there were nominations from other regional films too and I was told that they were really good."

Incidentally, it took over six months of persuasive cajoling from director Madhur Bhandarkar, before she agreed to greenlight 'Fashion'. Says Priyanka, "I wasn't confident at all of playing the difficult role of Meghna Mathur and wanted to beg off, but Madhur was persistent. He was confident that I would be able to do full justice to it." Bravo Bhandarkar!

From hyper to schizophrenic to a druggie supermodel who shoves "attitude," turns irresponsible, gives hell and loses her status in 'Fashion' Kangna Ranaut has excelled in essaying the woman who is on the brink of losing her sanity. And this time around, she's turned successful at a national level! Ranaut will romp home with the National award for 'Best Actress in a Supporting Role' for her portrayal in 'Fashion.'

Director Madhur Bhandarkar had been raving about her in the same breath as Chopra, whenever media sorts queried him about the curly haired star. "She's brilliant my film and she's matched up to Priyanka very well," he said.

2010 expressly marks a special year for Kangna, as she gears up to tackle two….. comedies (relief, huh) 'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'No Problem' and a thriller 'Knockout.' . Besides, she essays a salsa dancer in 'Kites' and grabs a slice of history with a period film, 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai.' Rivals, meanwhile, can go fly some 'Kites'…..
