The Australian singer reportedly impressed Indian directors with her Bollywood moves after only three days of rehearsals for the film Blue.

The pop singer said she was thrilled to work with India’s double Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, after recording one of his songs for the move. She met Rahman at the Baftas in London last month where she presented him with an award for Slumdog Millionaire.

The movie is about a sunken treasure ship and is said to have been inspired by the Hollywood production “The Deep”.

John Travolta, and his wife, were asked to pay a $1 million extortion ransom to prevent a picture, of their son Jett Travolta as he lay dying in the back of an ambulance, from being sold to someone other than the Travolta family. The picture was allegedly taken with a mobile phone possibly by one of the paramedics. So wrong!

The alleged blackmailers are thought to have made contact with Travola and his Florida based lawyers Michael Ossi and Howard Butler. The blackmailers said they would sell the picture to the highest bidder if they didn’t get their $1 million ransom.

A local politician from the Bahamas is also said to be involved.
