01:27This always happens to me, Taylor said, the poor thing.
01:31She's been having a bad week finding herself single again following yet another breakup.

01:41almighty row ended their little romance.

02:07I never want to let any of you down.
02:09I love you and thank you.
02:11Others having a tough week include Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
02:14Their beef has been well documented, but the two were forced to come together for an American
02:18Idol press conference on Tuesday.
02:20When Tabloid asked the Harajuku Barbie about the little fight, Minaj said,
02:23We're two adult women and we had a disagreement.
02:26Not that big a deal.
02:27I think the world has made it into a bigger deal than it really is.
02:30Mariah seems to feel differently.
02:32She's increased her security.
02:34Closer to home, the sons of the Lebanese Rabbani brothers staged their latest Arab musical,

02:56We found him at Aksa Beach in suburban Mumbai,
02:58recreating Jeetendra's 1983 hit number Naino Mein Sapna along with newcomer Tamanna.
03:04Short of wearing white pants and white shoes,
03:06Devgn was game for everything else to give the classic number a modern twist.
03:10We also found choreographer Farah Khan in slave driver mode
03:13as she instructed hundreds of dancers to inject some grace into their routine.
03:17In between shots, Devgn told Tabloid not to be fooled by the colourful elephants in pots.
03:22It's not a comic song. We're not here to make a spoof here, said Devgn.
03:27Also in Mumbai last Sunday, Zee Cine Awards saw the who's who of Bollywood attend.
03:32The red carpet call was robust as Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone
