Now when Deepika’s last two releases, 'Tamasha' and 'Bajirao Mastani', were releasing Kangana steered clear of unnecessary media space for herself. She focussed on herself and her films.
Smart, I must say.

So far, there's no official word on what she's actually planning, but some devoted fans believe she's shooting a new music video, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Beyonce filmed the video amid reports that she's preparing a new album.
Her last album, "Beyonce", was released in 2013 and it was later followed by a deluxe reissue in 2014.
In the past year, she was rumoured to be planning a joint album with Jay-Z, but it never materialised.

The former lovers appear to share posts on the photo-sharing website that seem implicitly connected, reports aceshowbiz.com.
After Bieber posted a photograph of himself cuddling his little brother on his Instagram page, Gomez followed suit by sharing an image of herself sleeping with a baby boy beside her.
The photograph resembles the one the "Baby" hitmaker posted and many of Instagram users noticed the similarity.
One of them wrote on the comment section, "Same as your post @justinbieber."
This is not the first time that fans have noticed that Bieber and Gomez have tried to communicate via the social media website.
Earlier this month after Gomez was spotted making out with rumoured boyfriend Niall Horan at actress Jenna Dewan's birthday party, Bieber posted a photo of a mystery girl named Cindy Kimberly presumably to make the "Come & get it" singer jealous.

Terry said in his lawsuit that Martin has a significant history of repeated and ongoing violent acts against entertainment news people.
He is angry because Martin left the scene instead of tending to him.
