Late pop legend Michael Jackson's "unsettled" spirit has apparently begged ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley to forgive him at a seance, her friend Karen Fayehas revealed.

Faye, who was Jackson's make-up artist, said she and Marie Presley, 42, contacted the King of Pop using a psychic last week where he asked for forgiveness for his wrongs to her, reports thesun.co.uk.

"He seemed to be on a mission to reach out to people in his life and be forgiven. Michael spent his time explaining his faults and wanting us to forgive him. He seemed unsettled," said Faye.

Faye insisted the medium had "no idea" of their link to Jackson, who died aged 50 last June.

"There were definite, deep insights that would have been difficult to make up. It was detailed on the inner dynamics of his family and his levels of pain and emotional inability," she said.

She further informed Jackson would not discuss manslaughter charges faced by his doctor Conrad Murray in Los Angeles.

"He said he was detached from things," he said.

Jackson married Marie Presley in 1994 before splitting after 18 months.

Finally, Vidya Balan has made that move. Three weeks ago Vidya Balan finally moved into her new 4-bedroom place in Khar.

And she just can't get enough of her brand new possession. “It's virtually been built brick by brick by me in the middle of my busy schedules. I wasn't able to give the house time at a stretch. That's why it took time to be put together.”

Now the house-proud actress intends to have a house-warming party, her first get-together since she came into the film industry, and also a good time to celebrate since two of her back-to-back films have been declared hits.

But nothing about Vidya is convention. Not even her house-warming party.

Says the lovely actress, “I think it's imprudent to invite all your friends all at once for one party. This makes the gathering unmanageable, guests who don't know one another get uncomfortable.

So I'm having a series of sit-in dinners in my new house where groups of friends who know one another, can come together for cosy comfortable conversations and food.”

But first, Vidya wants every little detail in her new house to be perfect. “I'm fastidious about cleanliness to the point of being obsessive about my home. If I feel a drawer is messy I will clean it up at 3 in the morning after a hard day's shooting. So before my house-warming parties start I need to make sure everything is in place.”

Vidya admits the home is now her proudest possession. “Shifting into it after the release of Ishqiya is a conscious move. I think after Paa and Ishqiya I've earned myself a place of my own.”

Vidya earlier stayed in a much smaller place in Chembur. The new place has been done up by a friend of her father.

“Nobody that is familiar to the film fraternity. He had done up our earlier place as well.”

Katrina Kaif, who has bagged a nomination at the upcoming 55th Filmfare Awards in best actor category for her role in "New York", says she is happy with the nomination and won't mind if someone else wins the trophy.

"Everyone wants to win, everyone wants to be successful. When you make a movie, you want it to be a hit and successful. When you are nominated of course you want to win. But honestly I am so used to not winning that just the nomination is enough," she said.

"I cannot complain as my awards have been so great from the audiences. I am happy just to be nominated. I would have a great time performing at the show," the actress told reporters at a press conference of 55th Filmfare Awards here Wednesday.

"If I had to choose, apart from myself, I would choose Priyanka or Vidya. 'Kaminey' is one of my favourite films. And I loved Vidya in 'Paa'. But why can't I choose myself?", she adds with a a mischievous grin.

"At the end of the day the jury gives these awards. Everyone's opinion is going to be different. You know more than the performances, for example, the best actress category, I always want the film to win... a film that I am in."

Katrina will perform at the the award function to be held Feb 27 at the Yash Raj Studios and she has teamed up with her favourite choreographer Ganesh Hegde to prepare for her performance.

"We haven't confirmed on which songs I am going to perform. We have only confirmed the choreographer and he is Ganesh Hegde. He is one of my favourites so I think it's going to be a phenomenal act this time.

I am really excited and we are going to start practice this Thursday," said Katrina.

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has been hailed as the most beautiful star of the past decade, according to a British poll.

The "Tomb Raider" actress was voted the most attractive female celebrity of the 'noughties', followed closely by former "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston, who was previously married to Jolie's current partner, Brad Pitt, reports hollywood.com.

The survey, carried out by British beauty retailer Superdrug, placed Australian singer Kylie Minogue in third place, while Welsh Oscar-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones was at number four.

"Angelina Jolie is not a conventional beauty but her strong character shines through her fabulous features to give her a unique standing in the beauty world. It's worth noting that while everyone talks about Angelina's pout we find that its her long thick lustrous hair that really makes women envious, as well as a figure made for red carpet posturing," said Superdrug's commercial director Steve Jebson.

Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Beyonce Knowles, Liv Tyler and Halle Berry also featured in the top 10.

Popular singer Jennifer Lopez refuses to undergo in vitro fertilization to conceive more kids with husband Marc Anthony, insisting she's too "traditional" for the procedure.

Lopez gave birth to twins Max and Emme in 2008 and now she's hoping for baby number three.

At 40, she knows her chances of conceiving naturally are growing slim, but she's still determined to leave her future as a mother up to mother nature, reported aceshowbiz.com.

"When it comes to family and relationships, I'm quite traditional," she said.

"Just because of the way I was raised. And I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don't mess with things like that. I guess deep down, I really felt like either this is not going to happen for me or it is... And if it is, it will. And if it's not, it's not going to," she added.

Genelia D'Souza is upset with rumours of her wedding with actor Riteish Deshmukh. The actress says she isn't getting married to anyone for the time being.

"To set the record straight, I am not getting married to anyone. I have always maintained that my personal life is not something I would like to discuss. But this time since it was something that would affect my family, I decided to take a stand, " said Genelia in a statement released here Tuesday.

"My films and my brands are my priority as of now and I'd like to keep it that way. And if I do decide to settle down, you will hear it from me when as and when it happens, " she added.

A tabloid had reported the romance brewed between Genelia and Riteish on the sets of "Tujhe Meri Kasam" (2003) and that they are planning to get married this year.

"It's rather funny that we have to read about the progress in our lives in the press before we even know it ourselves. I wonder how news like that can be put out without any confirmation from the people whose lives are being discussed, " she said.

Genelia is right now looking forward to the release of "Chance Pe Dance". She is paired with Shahid Kapoor in the film, which is releasing Jan 15.

Priyanka Chopra who was touted to be the leading lady of Dostana sequel is now said to have lost the project to her archrival Katrina Kaif. We hear that Piggy Chops will only be seen in the film for a brief period of time and it is Katrina who'll be playing a romantic interest to Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham.

We hear director Tarun Mansukhani is now busy penning an interesting scene where both the actresses will be seen locking horns.

Confirming the news a source told a daily, “It’s a face-off between Katrina and Priyanka. However, it is not a bitchy or dramatic scene, but a comic and light-hearted one.

Priyanka makes her entry when the Desi girl track (Priyanka’s song from ‘Dostana’) starts playing. The boys in the club then start looking at her instead of Katrina. The latter gets upset that the focus has shifted to Priyanka and breaks into a sexy dance with her.

Priyanka’s presence in the film was decided even before Tarun started scripting the film. In fact, she had personally told Tarun that she wanted to be part of the sequel.”

Mansukhani also confirmed Priyanka’s presence in the film but denied having decided on a scene for her.

Talking to a daily, he said, “Yes, Priyanka will surely be part of the film. She’s not just my favourite actress but also a very dear person. She has an important role. However, I am yet to figure out where and how she will appear as I am still in the scripting process.”

After fobbing off the likes of Aamir Khan who after working with her in 1947 Earth had insisted that she move from Delhi to Mumbai to pursue her acting career, Nandita Das has finally moved to Mumbai, thanks to her marriage to environment entrepreneur Subodh Maskara which was solemnized on January 2.

Now glowing with joy from her residence in Worli (Mumbai) Nandita says, “What I resisted doing for 13 long years has finally been done. I couldn’t imagine shifting to Mumbai for my career. But love did it.”

Husband Subodh Maskara was introduced to Nandita by her friend Shahana Goswami whom Nandita directed last year in Firaq, and Shahana’s boyfriend Milind Soman.

Laughs Nandita, “Milind and Shahana kept urging me to meet Subodh. I kept fobbing them off. I’m the last person to believe in blind dates. But look at destiny. I now completely believe in instant love.

When I was hesitant about meeting him Subodh sent me a lovely e-mail. And I said, why not just have coffee with him? We met. And I immediately knew, this was it. Within five months I knew I wanted to marry him.We became soul-mates seamlessly.”

Nandita married according to Ashram Vidhi rites on January 2 at Subodh’s residence where she now stays permanently. “Only his parents and brother, my parents and my brother were there for the marriage. And of course Shahana and Milind who brought us together. We couldn’t possibly get married without them.”

Interestingly Nandita’s husband had not seen any of her films. “After we began seeing each other I made him see Fire and then my directorial debut Firaq. Before meeting me Subodh knew much less about cinema than I did about his chosen line of work, recycling plastic bottles.”

Last month Nandita took Subodh to the Marrakech Film Festival in Morrocco. “And Subodh saw 18 films in one go. That’s more than he has seen in all his life. He’s more than happy sharing my interests. I’ve never been happier.”

Friends like Paresh Rawal urge Nandita to direct another film. But at the moment she’s content being at her new home in Mumbai playing Mrs Subodh Maskara.

Does she cook for her husband?

Nandita gasps. “Er, that would really be going too far. Even further than my move from Delhi to Mumbai.”
