Buzz is that the duo, who had planned to tie the knot at the end of 2012, has now mutually decided to shift the date to 2013. The wedding is most likely to take place in Mumbai.

It looks like a certain Punit Malhotra doesn’t exist in the life of Sonam Kapoor. The world might talk about their link-up but the ‘Mausam’ actress would have us believe she is still single. Sonam, it appears, wants to clear every controversy including her alleged animosity for Shahid Kapoor.
A few days ago it was reported that Sonam, who had worked in Punit’s directorial debut ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ (her only hit so far!) had turned down his next film because Shahid, her ‘Mausam’ co-star had been signed on as the male lead.

NEW YORK: J. Cole has a huge appetite when it comes to his career.
Although he's got a platinum single, a gold album and a Grammy nomination for best new artist, he wants more.
"I'm grateful for everything that happened, but I'm not satisfied," J. Cole said. "There (are) still accomplishments that keep happening from the work that I put in last year and from the last two, three years ... but those are just reminders of the work that I did. That's in the past. Like, what's the next move? That's my mind state."
Call it the Jay-Z state of mind.

British hip-hop artist M.I.A.'s obscene gesture in the Super Bowl halftime show is prompting apologies from NBC and the NFL. But it isn't immediately registering as a moment that viewers latched on to.
The digital video recorder maker Tivo said Monday that there wasn't an appreciable bump in viewers who played back the moment where M.I.A. extended her middle finger during Madonna's performance of "Give Me All Your Luvin'" on Sunday night's show.

NEW YORK: Fox News Channel's Bret Baier has already annoyed Mitt Romney this campaign season. Now he's finding fault with one of Newt Gingrich's ideas.
Gingrich, who was on Fox's payroll as an analyst before running for president, said recently that if he was the GOP nominee, he wouldn't agree to a debate with President Barack Obama if a journalist was the moderator.
"I don't think that would work," said Baier, who has moderated five GOP debates this election cycle. "I don't think it would be too enjoyable to watch."

It's one of the six nominations for the Foos, who tied Adele and Mars for the second-most nominations (behind Kanye West) and will be performers at the show, to air from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
