New stills from Aish and Akshay’s upcoming film Action Replay. The romantic comedy tells the story of an old man who goes back in time to his younger days in the 1970s.

Action Replay, co-starring Neha Dhupia and Randhir Kapoor, is currently in post-production.

In other Aish news…

Katrina

Aishwarya, 36, is no longer the ‘face’ of Lux soap. The cosmetic company has named younger Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif, 25, as its new brand ambassador. Katrina’s statement below.

“I feel honored to be chosen by Lux as the face of such an iconic brand. It is with great pride that I join the legendary Lux beauty brigade, and only hope that my association with the brand grows stronger in the years to come. It is the ultimate aspiration of any Bollywood star to be associated with a renowned beauty brand like Lux.”

By the way…

The entire Bachchan clan skipped the 55th Filmfare Awards ceremony over a nasty tabloid story that said Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has infertility problems.

“I felt that the modesty of a lady in my house has been outraged. The topic that was brought up was very, very insensitive. No woman likes her motherhood or her capability of procreation or fertility to be talked about.

I have felt that Aishwarya was slandered by this article and therefore we asked them to apologise, which they didn’t. It is very difficult for me to go to an award function, sing, dance and applaud when that very paper abused a lady of my house.

If you read the constitution of India, you will find that in our Article 21 it is clearly mentioned that if you defame any woman and talk about her motherhood, fertility or process of procreation, it is defamatory.”

A rep for Gatorade officially confirmed Tiger is no longer a member of the Gatorade family.

“I can confirm that we no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship.”

In early December Gatorade said the decision to ax Tiger-branded drinks was made BEFORE the scandal broke. Folks, I knew that was a bold-face lie.

Tiger’s peeps released the below statement.

“Tiger’s agent released the following statement: “We have been in discussions with Gatorade, and while we are disappointed they have decided to not continue with Tiger in their marketing plans, we appreciate their continued involvement with Tiger through his foundation.”

Hmm… I wonder if humping all those white women was worth losing hundreds of millions of dollars??? I think not.

I know I’m a little late on this…

Daniel wished his fans a great 2010 last month. Direct message from the actor’s Facebook below.

Hey All, Wow, can you really believe that it’s 2010? I remember when I was a kid growing up, it seemed like 2010 was MILLIONS of years away, but as they say….time flies. I hope all of you had a wonderful new year, and were able to spend some much needed time relaxing and catching up with your loved ones. I was able to go back home and spend some time with my family. My mom decorated our yard and our house with tons of lights and ornaments. We had a beautiful Christmas tree that even had a little train running around the bottom of it. It was pretty amazing. After Christmas we took spent a few days skiing in northern Michigan, and then soon after that I returned back to LA. It was a great holiday. I’m back to work mode now, shifting slowly out of the laziness of the holiday break is always tough^^, I’m interested to hear about your hotlidays. How did you spend New Years? I’ll be in touch soon, so until next time…..bye bye. Love Daniel

We know Daniel filmed a commercial for Biotherm last month. I wonder if he has any films/dramas lined up for the year? I’ll keep you posted folks.
