‘George doesn’t care whether I am dressed up or down’

— Stacy

Stacy Keibler is one lucky woman. Not only does she have George Clooney on her arm, she doesn’t even have to make too much of an effort to keep him there. Clooney, 50, has gone on record saying he “doesn’t care” if Keibler — his girlfriend of a year — dresses up or down.

Keibler, a former wrestler, has recently revealed that Clooney is equally attracted to her when she’s in ordinary clothes. “George is always happy with everything that I wear. He doesn’t care whether I’m dressed up or down,” Keibler, 32, has been quoted as saying.

“I could never be the girl that has to put my make-up on and do my hair before I go out the house,” she said.

However, the leggy stunner has admitted that she enjoyed picking her dress for the Oscars in February, where she turned heads despite the presence of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers like Angelina Jolie and Penelope Cruz.

“I never feel pressure to dress a certain way, but it was such a fun experience to go to fashion week and see a dress and try it on and then wear it to the Oscars. I’m extremely grateful for that,” Keibler added.

Locket turns author for Oh! Henry

After Streetlight last year, director Animesh Ray has picked Locket Chatterjee again to play the lead in his next film Oh! Henry. The relationship tale is woven around two women and a man, with Dibyendu and Pooja Basu (of Macho Mustanaa) playing the other two characters.

“Locket was very good in Streetlight and she fits the bill of a middle-aged author. I liked Dibyendu in Charuulata 2011 and Pooja showed promise in Macho Mustanaa,” said Animesh. Locket will play Megh, an author who meets Akash (Dibyendu), a journalist who comes to interview her, and falls in love with him. Pooja is Dibyendu’s love interest, Brishti.

Sudip Chatterjee, who is producing the film, is also its scriptwriter and music director. He has injected a psychopathic streak in his lead character. “Megh falls for Akash because she believes he is Henry, a character from her latest novel. And as Akash gets sucked into a love-and-lust game with her, Brishti digs out the truth,” he said.

Is that why the film is titled Oh! Henry? “Yes, because Megh falls for a man who looks exactly like her Henry!” added Sudip. To be shot entirely in Calcutta, Oh! Henry rolls on the floors on June 1.

Join the 100-crore club

Sajid Khan is having the last laugh. Housefull 2 is set to enter the Rs 100-crore club, the second film to do so this year after Agneepath in January. Panned by critics, Housefull 2 — made on a budget of Rs 75 crore — had opened big and the presence of stars like Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor ensured that it remained big. No wonder then that Sajid is rumoured to have hiked his fee after three back-to-back hits: Heyy Babyy and the two Housefull films. His next? The Himmatwala remake with Ajay Devgn slipping into the (white) shoes of Jeetendra!
