nA kaleidoscope of colours, foot-tapping music, pulsating dance and a very special guest. The dancing queen of yesteryear, Helen, is the judge of the Cabaret Special episode of the popular dance show Boogie Woogie on Sony Entertainment Television.

She takes a trip down memory lane, recounting the shooting of the song Yeh mera dil from Don. She had to go on a 15-day diet to fit into the costume designed for the dance number!

To her, cabaret dancing has a story to tell, a narrative that?s interesting and gripping. ?Dance must come from within. You start with a bang and end with a bang,? were her words of wisdom for the young performers.

Boogie Woogie will rekindle memories of Helen the great on Friday, June 16, at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.

Bips or Bebo

Three Bollywood beauties battling for a crown and all it takes is a click of the mouse to get them to it. Online marketplace eBay India has recently launched eBay India Style Diva 2006, its maiden fashion and lifestyle contest. eBay India?s online community will decide the winner from among Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra, through an online poll.

To participate, one needs to log on to www.eBay.in and shop or sell any product from the various lifestyle categories using PaisaPay. After casting the vote, five lucky winners stand a chance to meet the eBay India Style Diva in person at the award function finale to be hosted in August in Mumbai.

Spoof time

After a run at the box-office, Ghoom, MTV?s first film, will premiere on the channel on June 17, at 8 pm. Produced under the banner of MTV Fully Faltoo Films, this 45-minute comedy-action is a gag-a-minute spoof.

The plot, as close to Dhoom as it gets, is a riotous roller-coaster packed with funny cops-and-robbers chases, absurd wardrobe changes and silly romantic scenes. Ghoom is about this super-cop (read, blooper-cop) who wants to nab a gang of five biker thieves, who also double as pizza delivery guys, to hide their real vocation. He bullies a mechanic, who is as fast as them on the bike, into joining him. The mega robbery finally turns into a riot of idiotic incidents.
