Since the time she stormed onto the scene winning the Miss Universe title, there has been no looking back for Lara Dutta. Lara is on every man's wish-list and hence it comes as no surprise to see the beautiful actress gracing the cover page of Man's World in the February issue.

Lara who has a major film Billu up for release this week is seen in a short white dress. In an exclusive interview, Lara talks about her experiences portraying a de-glam role for the first time and how she feels proud to be known as a comedian.

However, what makes the issue a complete must have for all Lara fans is the fact that it gives you 15 ways to impress Lara and take her out on a date. With Valentine's Day round the corner, this issue will indeed come in handy.

Sonali Bendre graces the cover of Good Housekeeping

She is someone who had set not just the ramp of fire, but also the whole of Bollywood. She continues to be a gracious lady of few words as her eternally glittering eyes do all the talking. We are indeed talking about the one and only Sonali Bendre, who is on a comeback trail of sorts. You can have a look at this Diva of poise on the latest issue of Good Housekeeping.

If the response to her comeback as a judge (on Indian Idol) is anything to go by, then all the reigning and raining heroines of Bollywood better watch out, because you have stiff competition and that too from an old player at that! In this issue, Sonali talks all about her background, her Bollywood moves and her hubby dearest (filmmaker Goldie Behl). At the onset of Valentine's Day, sweet Sonali says, "Valentine's Day isn't just about the love between a man and a woman; it's to tell people in your life how much you care"!

Sonali...never could we argue with your principles and thoughts then, never can we even argue now...you are definitely a thinking man's Angel, in disguise!

Mugdha Godse shines with Stuff

She is someone who just cannot be mistaken to be a human being, for she is an angel in disguise...call it as God's gift to good guys! She is Mugdha Godse, who is on her way to become the Goddess of not just small things but also big, bigger, biggest things!

And one such big thing to have happened to the mankind is the current issue (which is ironically quite 'electrifying') of the super cool tech and gizmo mag 'Stuff'. We will be doing rank injustice if we started telling (read 'praising') about Mugdha's gizmo-ic looks that really acts as an eye-candy for everyone alike. For once, we are damn sure that, you will regret that why weren't you born as a laptop or any other gizmo, for the only reason, that after having a look at the gizmo's proximity to Mugdha...you know the rest!

Anyways, keeping the best for the last, all that we would say is that do not let your life be incomplete without the current issue of Stuff! It's not everyday that you have a living Goddess like Mugdha God-se posing as human being!

This chic's latest conquest is the latest issue of the uber-cool magazine Verve, for which she has done an exclusive photo-shoot which was shot on the sunny beaches of the Maldives. One look at those 'holiest-than-thou' snaps and you are bound to get impressed with her zest for life, the love and cheer she spreads liberally and a sharply discerning mind that doesn't allow for compromise. Full marks to Verve for discovering the undiscovered aspects of the petite Sonam Kapoor.

Lastly, what one observes is that, those (read 'critics') who had panned and pulled Sonam Kapoor down immediately after her Bollywood debut vehicle Saawariya will now have to eat their own words now. Welcome aboard... Sonam Kapoor!

Akshay Kumar on the cover of 'Complete Wellbeing' magazine

Akshay Kumar is certainly the man of the moment. First it was courtesy his much hyped film CC2C (which eventually bombed at the B.O.) and then it was due to the fact that he received the prestigious Padma Shri honour. Now the 'Khiladi' of Bollywood is seen on the cover page of the 'Complete Wellbeing' magazine this month.

The 'Complete Wellbeing' magazine has yet again managed to showcase a major celebrity in a different light. The February issue of 'Complete Wellbeing', is a 'Life Energy' special issue and hence it comes as no surprise that the issue features none other than Akshay Kumar- one of the most energetic, fit and successful actors of the Hindi film industry

In an exclusive interview, Akki speaks about how instead of slowing down with age, he has only picked up speed and gotten better. He also reveals the mature and grounded side of him, which is in stark contrast with his bubbly and energetic side. "Life is super-hectic-you barely have time to take a deep breath, and the stress never seems to go away. To cope with this, you need to be physically fit and be able to find your inner balance," says Akshay.

Speaking on the choice of Akshay Kumar for their 'Life Energy' special issue, Manoj Khatri, Editor and Publisher of 'Complete Wellbeing' says, "Usually people associate energy with a healthy body. But, like in Akshay's case, a healthy mind too plays a very important role in making a person energetic. You cannot be energetic and give your best even though you are physically fit if you are feeling low,"

Besides featuring Akshay Kumar in a no-holds barred interview, the February issue also has over 12 articles based on energy that all cover areas of an individual's life. It also has fitness tips from Hollywood trainer Mike Ryan, power dressing tips, 10 Top Energy Foods and much more.

Minissha Lamba graces the cover of Andpersand

The sensational cover of the latest issue of the Andpersand has the super-sensational Minissha Lamba. Man, her eyes are enough for any dreaded terrorist group to drop their arms and surrender! Minissha Lamba, for starters, always wanted to be a journalist, who, then, eventually landed up in Bollywood.

We are sure that you just did not know that, with CNN's international correspondent Christiane Amanpour for inspiration, our lady in question, would have loved to interview the likes of Sonia Gandhi, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and James Dean , in that order! She also speaks all about her pastimes, films…and also gives words (read 'peals') of wisdom like "The novelty of the bikini should have worn off by now, especially the kind of shows you have on cable TV".

Neither the story ends there nor does the girl stop. She is simply unbeatable when it comes to giving interviews. And this interview is surely a standing testimony to this.
