Hilary Duff Talks New LP, Depeche Mode Backstage At 'Total Finale Live'Former Disney star says she'll be working on new, edgier LP next month.

By Jocelyn Vena
Hilary Duff was just 2 years old when Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" was released, but that didn't stop her from building a new song of her own — "Reach Out" — around it. The song is featured on her greatest-hits LP, Best of Hilary Duff, which hit stores last week.

" 'Reach Out' is a sample of a Depeche Mode song, 'Personal Jesus,' " she told MTV News at the "Total Finale Live" on Sunday (November 16). "It's different for me. It's a little dancey, and there's a rapper named Prophet who's on it who's really cool and kinda fresh."

In addition to "Reach Out," Duff has another new song on the album, called "Holiday," which found her working with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. She describes the song as "a really personal [one]."
Duff isn't just giving her fans her greatest hits — soon the singer/actress will be back in the studio recording new material. "I'm going to start working on a new album in two weeks,

" she said.
These days, even with a NBC development deal in the works that will bring the singer back to the small screen, she's spending her days "hard-core writing and figuring out what direction to go in."
And the former Disney star said she's looking to go edgier than the music she's done in the past. But she can't help but embrace her feminine side.

"I like so many different kinds of music," she said. "Something poppy and catchy — I'm girly but I think I'm kind of tough, so maybe a little rock influence."

Asin Keeping Her Fingers Crossed

Asin is keeping her fingers crossed. The verdict will be out in a few days from now. Asin states, “I would not say I am nervous. But I am anxious to know how the audiences react to the movie and also to my performance. I have not watched the movie yet I do not do that before it releases. But I have decided to watch it first day, first show”.
Asin may belong to Kerala, but the pretty actress, who is a leading name in South, speaks Hindi fluently. She smiles, “We shot Ghajini in sync sound, so there was no question of not knowing the language”. In fact, Aamir had called up Asin after the screening of the Tamil version, congratulating her on her performance in the movie. She reminisces, “In the end, he casually asked me if I could speak in Hindi. I replied in the affirmative. I did not realize why he asked me that question, until the makers approached me for the Hindi remake”.
With Ghajini and London Dreams in her kitty, Asin has decided to move bag and baggage to Mumbai. She smiles, “I moved to Mumbai in January this year. But that does not mean I have closed the doors for South movies. If the role interests me, I would instantly say ‘yes’ to a Tamil or Malayalam movie. Let’s see how the career goes after Ghajini”.

Laxmi Rai

Glamorous actress Lakshmi Rai, who shot to fame with her performance in Telugu film Kanchanamala Cable TV has been in the news for some time now for all the wrong reasons. Recently, it was rumoured that she was involved in flesh trade.
Indian cricket team’s good show at the ongoing Test match against England at Chepauk alone is not making it to the headlines – even hotter than this is the news about the meeting between famous Kollywood actress Lakshmi Rai and Indian team’s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni!
South Indian actress Lakshmi Rai has conceded that she and Indian skipper Dhoni are real good friends. The actress visited Dhoni at the luxury hotel where he was staying to keep the date but was peeved when security officials didn’t let her in. She, however, gained entry after Dhoni himself clarified that he had invited her.
The love blossomed between the two as Actress Lakshmi Rai was in regular touch with Indian Cricket Team Captain MS Dhoni ever since the T-20 Tournament where he represented Chennai Super Kings. She was regularly seeing Dhoni during the Twenty20 cricket league and she never missed any single match played at A. Chidamabaram stadium in Chennai. The Television cameras too captured Lakshmi Rai rooting cheerfully for her “favourite” Indian cricketer. Both of them dined, danced and spent the whole night in privacy where it startled the entire media channels. The media also reported that Dhoni and Lakshmi Rai were seen together at a beach side star hotel in Chennai, a week ago. And again, as Dhoni was here for selection of Indian Cricket Team, Lakshmi Rai had invited him for another dinner and it was the same scenario.
It really doesn’t matter what these guys (Dhoni or Lakshmi) do in their private lives… so long as Dhoni is good in the field and Lakshmi in whatever she does (acting). Was it a rumour or really India’s most eligible bachelor finally found his lady love
