SRK back to TELEVISION....!!

After his Kaun Banega Crorepati stint Shahrukh Khan is back on the small screen and this time around he will be asking questions that are a whole lot easier. Here is the latest on SRK's new reality show "Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Hain".

SRK is back and this time hopefully one will not have to phone a friend. The Badshah of Bollywood is goint to make his presence felt on small screen with a new reality show 'Kya aap Panchvi pass hain?" , formatted on the popular American show -- Are you smarter than a fifth grader. It is a show where the adults world would be questioned by kids. If they fail to answer then they would have to claim that they are not smarter than fifth graders.

Khan said that every serial has a season and KBC's season got over and did not come to any sort of abrupt end. He also added that he is not jobless anymore. The man himself has not only KBC 4 in offing but Aditya Chopra's next and 2 home production projects.

Whether in India or anywhere else in the globe, all that can be said about King Khan is just his name. Fanatics of SRK across the international circuit will be hoping that his great sense of humour is retained which is an add-on for the superstar.

IPL OR 3 YEARS BAN.....???

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has offered Australian players a chance to play in the Twenty20 tournament without a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their governing body else they would face a three-year ban from the league.

Chairman of the IPL Lalit Modi said all the players will have to return their signed contracts by Sunday so that the they could be auctioned to the eight franchises next Wednesday.

"They are running out of time," Modi told the Sydney Morning Herald..

"We will gladly take the Australian players without NOCs, we don't want to go down that path but if we have to, we will. I am not the type that won't follow through with what I say; if the contracts are not signed and returned by Sunday the Australian players will not be allowed to take part in the IPL for three years. We are taking a list to owners on Monday," he said.

IPL is a temptation that is hard to resist and a three-year ban would mean that veterans like Matthew Hayden, who are likely to retire by then, will be denied a chance to earn huge money at the end of their careers.
