What a better way to celebrate a National Award for the Best English Feature Film than to host a party with celebrities from the film world? Aparna Sen, Konkona and Dhritiman Chatterjee sure had reasons to feel proud what with almost a big section of Kolkata’s film and television world turning up to congratulate them at a party thrown by producer Bipin Vohra at Galaxy, The Park. Of course, people did miss Shabana Azmi’s
presence at the Saturday party what with many still raving about the actor’s sterling performance in 15, Park Avenue.

And surprise of surprises was when Yukta Mookhey turned up at the party too, wearing a turquoise blue dress with stilettos that literally made her tower over everyone else.

Overheard: Is Yukta based in Kolkata these days? First she is spotted at an art exhibition, now at this party. May be, she is keeping her options of doing Tollywood films open!

Jennifer Hawkins re-signs to Seven

Author: Seven Network Sep 17, 2007, 08:44

Channel Seven has today confirmed that Jennifer Hawkins has re-signed to the Network.

The former Miss Universe, who first joined Seven in 2004, has spent the past three years traveling as a presenter with The Great Outdoors and has recently returned from trips to the US, Italy and Spain.

Jennifer was also one of the celebrities in the fourth season of Seven’s hit series Dancing With The Stars, co-hosted the 2005 Carols In The Domain and has worked as a presenter on the network’s Melbourne Cup Carnival coverage.

“I love being a part of Channel Seven - they gave me my first break, right after my year as Miss Universe,” Jennifer said today.

"It's been great to be a part of their family over the last three years. Through my work on The Great Outdoors, I've learnt so much and have been able to travel to parts of the world I never would have seen.

"To continue this work in 2008 is a great thrill. I’m now looking forward to a trip to New Zealand I have coming up as well as plenty of other new adventures.

"Seven have been so supportive of my other work - they really understand my workload and ambitions and we are able to work together so well."
