Akshay Kumar says no to CC2C promo

Akshay Kumar says no to a promotion of his upcoming movie CC2C promo at the Special Olympics in Delhi yesterday. Its really nice to see a movie star do something purely for charity rather than for self interest eg money, advertising or film promotion.
Akshay's role was to run to and back from the Red Fort to Sheesh Dargah in Chandni Chowk at Delhi on Sunday. He apparently requested a Warner Brothers employee to remove all posters of CC2C along the way of the route he was going to run on Sunday for the Special Olympics as he was there for the special olympics and not for the film and media attention.
The Special Olympics World Games is an international sporting competition for athletes with intellectual disabilities, organised by Special Olympics. The event is part of the Global Law Enforcement Torch Run which Akshay was to do is a signature event honoring the Special Olympics movement.Delhi shares the honour of hosting the torch run described as the Flame of Hope with cities like, Athens, Johannesburg, San Jose (Costa Rica), Warsaw, Shanghai, New York, Abu Dhabi, Miami and Los Angeles.From November 12 2008 to January 24, 2009, the Flame of Hope torch will travel more than 60,000 km to 10 cities across five continents.

Aamir Khan the Barber for Ghajini

I read recently that Aamir Khan joked about the haircutting session at Delhi ( promo event for Ghajini) as being a promotion for Shahrukh Khans Billoo Barber since it was Aamir Khan who was being barber to his fans by cutting their hair in his famous Ghajini haircut look.

Apparently a four year old fan, Kaavya was so keen to have a haircut despite being a girl as Aamir asked her, “Beta, do you want a Ghajini hair cut?” and she nodded her head, “Yes,” “Soch lo fir,” said Aamir, but Kaavya had done that already and kept on nodding. Aamir then asked the crowd, “She is looking so pretty, guys do you want me to give her the Ghajini look?” and the crowd was not for it, Aamir finally gave Shivek, a student of Modern School a haircut after speaking with his father and brother.

The crowd wanted more of Aamir, and were screaming for him to take off his shirt. But Aamir just teased them a bit by pulling off his tee a bit and then asked, “Yaar jara Behka gaana chalao.”
