Peter Andre has denied claims that he still has feelings for his ex-wife Katie Price a.k.a Jordan.
The ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer’s stylist Maddy Ford, who had a brief fling with him, claimed that Peter still loves Katie.
However, setting the record straight, Pete told new! magazine that he is not in love with Jordan anymore.
“Firstly, I was nothing but honest with Maddy from the start and told her that I had no intention of starting a relationship with her or anyone
else,” the Mirror quoted him as saying.
“I explained very carefully to her that I wasn’t ready for anything serious with anyone and she said she was fine with that. We were only intimate on a handful of occasions and we didn’t even go on any dates.
“I decided to put a stop to things when it became clear that the goal posts had changed and Maddy’s feelings had too.
“I didn’t want to lead her on or hurt her in any way. I was therefore really shocked and disappointed that she decided to sell her story as I really thought she knew the score from the start and that we were both just in it for the same reasons. What is it with me and the wrong women?
“Maddy also told a paper last week that she thinks I am still in love with my ex-wife. Without wanting to sound harsh, this is absolutely not the case.
“Far from it. I’ll always care about her as the mother of my kids, but that’s as far as it goes,” he added.

Raja Chaudhary Shradha Sharma, the handsome actor of Bhojpuri films who became household name in the country after his fracas with item girl Sambhavana Seth in season 2 of ‘Bigg Boss’, was caught on camera flirting with two girls leading to split from his girlfriend Shraddha Sharma.
Raja Chaudhary and Shraddha Sharma were in a live- in relationship for almost one year and expected to get engaged very soon, probably by the end of March. However, after watching the footage of reality show ‘Emotional Atyachar’, Shraddha has changed her mind and is trying to absorb herself in Southern movies, wherein she is a big star(‘Jeeva’ just released & ‘Jaye Ho’ being shot presently).
Sources say that Raja Chaudhary, after knowing the fact that Shradda had seen all that flirting, tried to contact her but the lady was furious and in no mood to compromise on the issue. Earlier, Raja Chaudhary had been dumped by his television actress wife Shweta Tiwari(Prerna of Balaji telefilm’s ‘Kasauti Zindagi Kay’) due to his alcoholic and violent nature. Raja Chaudhary has a daughter from his earlier marriage.
Sources close to Shraddha Sharma say that the item girl was head over heels in love with Raja Chaudhary and had not paid any attention to the talk of Raja’s bad nature coming from her own friends and well wishers. But now after finding it live on television, everything has changed and she does not want to have anything with Raja.

Kathryn Bigelow is the first female who won the best directing Academy Award, and now can be noticed in the record books.
To create a gritty war drama known as The Hurt Locker, Kathryn spent about $15 million. The Hurt Locker as well as were nominated for nine awards. As result the film created by Katheryn got 6 awards while James Cameroon’s Avatar gathered only 3 awards.
Katryn was accompanied with her former spouse who was sitting behind her during the whole ceremony and rose to his feet to applaud when the name of his wife was read out by Barbra Streisand.

MUMBAI INDIA : Has the fall from stardom resulted in Rani Mukerji becoming a recluse? Sure seems like it as she is no longer the vivacious girl everyone knew and loved.
A source who was earlier close to Rani says, “Rani has stopped communicating with all her friends including Urmila Matondkar, Dia Mirza and Manish Malhotra. She hardly calls them up and at times, she doesn’t even take their calls. Instead, she prefers to spend a lot of time with her niece (Mysha).”
The only person Rani is in touch with from her friend circle is choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, that too perhaps because she often bumps into Vaibhavi at Yash Raj Films. Vaibhavi regularly works for YRF whose scion Aditya Chopra has been dating Rani for nearly three years.
Why has Rani changed so much? Earlier, she used to attend important social functions particularly hosted by those who mattered to her. But recently, she even skipped Dr RK Agarwal’s daughter’s wedding, and consequently, shocked several of her friends from the industry who expected that she would definitely turn up for the occasion.
“The change in Rani’s behaviour is inexplicable. Her friends want her to be the old Rani again but all she wants is to be left alone. She has become a very, very private person,” adds the source.
Manish said, “I meet Rani. Yes, we haven’t interacted recently but that’s simply because she is shooting in Delhi and I have been busy with my shows and the ongoing fashion week.”
Seems like Aditya Chopra’s reticence has rubbed off on her too. Over to you, Rani.
