In her subsequent cover story for the July issue, Maxim proclaimed her as the "return of the great American supermodel."

I actually put some of my solo songs on the Pussycat Dolls' new album Doll Domination. Everything is all about timing. I believe it will come out next year, and it will be able to coexist wonderfully with the Dolls' album. It's completely separate from what you've heard with "Baby Love" and "Whatever U Like," and I'm still working on it - that's what happens when you're a perfectionist." She was interviewed by Billboard magazine in April 2009 regarding her own career plans as well as what The Dolls were up to.

Banned Indian ads

If there was a hotness quotient for advertising, most Indian ads would at best rate as tepid. But then, for the authorities even the tepid occassionally gets unbearably hot and the cold water follows soon. We take a look back at the ads that were deemed unfit for public consumption.

The most notorious ad that still remains embedded in the consciousness of the ad-aware Indian is that of a nude Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre along with a python for company.

The campaign with the two models attired only in Tuffs Shoes rubbed many the wrong way, and for the ones growing up in the 1990s - an eye opener.

In the same not-so-innocent 1990s Pooja Bedi played a hot game of chess and had a steamy shower with Marc Robinson while Viveka Babajee and Inder Sudan went wild under a waterfall, all to sell condoms appropriately branded - Kamasutra. This made Pooja Bedi a household name and was perhaps Viveka Babajee's solitary claim to fame.

The ads created quite a furore - questions were asked in the Parliament, banned on Doordarshan and complaints sent to the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI).

The October 1991 issue of Debonair magazine sold out in a matter of days. The reason, the issue carried ads, featuring Pooja Bedi and Marc Robinson, for the just-launched Kamasutra Condoms.

In a 2008 directive to the television channels, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had prohibited the "transmission or re-transmission" of the "vulgar" Lux Cozy advertisement.

The "lucky" scantily clad man in the ad - Lux Cozy has the tagline Apna Luck Pehen Ke Chalo - is ogled at and gets a peck on the cheek by a grateful female for "finding" her lost dog.

This was not the first time that the Ministry was up in arms against advertisements that it found incongruous with the standards of decency and propriety.

Lux Cozy was also in the news in July 2007 when the I&B Ministry had issued orders banning it ad along with the much discussed Amul Macho Yeh to bada twaing hain ad. A few months earlier, in April 2007, orders were issued against the broadcasting of Gen-X undergarments

Back in 1998, when Bipasha Basu was still a model and Dino Morea used to be her boyfriend, the two got cozy for an ad for Swiss underwear brand Calida. The image of Dino tugging Bipasha's panty with his teeth was too hot to handle for the then Minister of State for Cultural Affairs, Anil Deshmukh. The caption accompanying the saucy pictures read, "And you thought your appetite for indulgence could only be whetted by Swiss chocolates".

An ad for VIP Frenchie X underwear showing a girl entering a room to find a young man in his underwear was also deemed obscene.

Besides underwear, the other product that on the crosshairs of regulators is condoms. For a copywriter, it is quite challenging to churn out subtle ads for male contraceptives, when the nature of the product itself is explicit. The Pyar Hua Iqurar Hua ad for Nirodh condoms is only an exception.

The airing of DKT's XXX Flavoured Dotted Condoms ads during the ICC Champions Trophy in 2007 had ruffled the feathers of both the Advertising Standards Council of India and the Censor Board.

The complaint registered with the ASCI reads, "Visuals of 'a woman sensually and orally enjoying the flavours of fruits.' are obscene and vulgar"

The surrogate advertisement for AC Black Whisky (the advertised product was AC Black Apple Juice) had stirred up a bit of controversy in the early 2000s.

In the ad a man takes a sip of his drink and looks at an attractive woman on the other side of the room, and her neckline gets lower and diminishes with every sip.

As he sips for the kill, he finds his shirt open. The woman is also playing the same game. The tagline says, Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai (Anything is possible). The TVC was subsequently taken off air.

Malaika Arora had met future husband Arbaaz Khan while both were shooting for an ad for MR Coffee. The ad, due to its sexual overtones, generated quite a controversy. Even Amul came up with a parody ad around it.

There exist stringent directives for advertisers to keep in mind before they release an ad for public consumption.

The Programme Code prescribed under the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, prohibits "carriage of programmes in cable service, which offend good taste or decency; contain anything vulgar/obscene and are not suitable for unrestricted public exhibition."

The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI), a self-regulatory voluntary organisation of the advertising industry, also has a code in place that asks advertisers "To ensure that advertisements are not offensive to generally accepted standards of public decency. Advertisements should contain nothing indecent, vulgar or repulsive which is likely, in the light of generally prevailing standards of decency and propriety, to cause grave or widespread offence."

In more liberal societies, advertisers have it a little easier, but glancing through the history of Indian advertising it is obvious that Indian advertisers do not shy away from adding some oomph to their copies.

Though government orders can put such "offending" ads off-air, they remain a big hit on the Internet. And banning them only adds to their aura on the relatively unregulated Wild Wild Web.

Largest bikini parade

South African women take part in Bikini Parade in Johannesburg on November 7, 2009 to break the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Bikini Parade. The women walked 1690 metres around Melrose Arch Boulevard.

Southern beauties in Bollywood

Often acclaimed as the most beautiful woman in the world, Aishwarya Rai made her movie debut with Tamil film, Iruvar (1997) and had her first commercial success in the Tamil movie Jeans (1998), and came to the attention of Bollywood in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Asin will make her Bollywood move in Aamir Khan's home production Ghajini.

Gelina D'Souza, who has done around 20 films in Tamil and Telugu, will be seen this Friday opposite Akshaye Khanna in Mere Baap Pehle Aap and then much-awaited Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na opposite Aamir's nephew Imraan Khan.

Kollywood siren Shriya Saran, who sizzled opposite Rajini in Sivaji, is all set for her Bollywood move and will be seen as a TV journalist in Mission Istanbul. She even has two Hollywood projects including Ashok Amritraj's The Other side of Line and What's Cooking.

Late actress Divya Bharti was very popular in the early 1990s. She started her career in 1990 with a Telugu film Bobbili Raja and then found success with the Hindi film industry.

Sridevi started her career as a child artist in the Tamil movie Kandhan Karunai (1967) and acted in many Tamil and Telugu movies. During her early adult career, she acted in a number of Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam movies.

Jaya Prada, who is a Rajya Sabha MP, became a major star in 1976 with huge hits: Anthuleni Katha showcased her dramatic skills and worked in Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada films and had hit films in all of them.

Rekha appeared as a child actor in Telugu film Rangula Ratnam (1966) and made her debut as heroine in the successful Kannada film Goadalli CID 999 in 1969 before shifting focus to Bollywood.

Hema Malini, known as Bollywood's dream girl, also started her acting career down south before moving to Bollywood with Sapnon Ka Sauagar.

Along with Padmini, Vyjyanthimala was one of the first South Indian actresses to become a major Hindi film star.

Bollywood's hottest wives

They say behind every successful man is a woman. It certainly holds true for Bollywood. Take a look at the Bollywood Wives Club. First and foremost is Gauri Khan, wife of superstar Shah Rukh Khan who turned producer with Main Hoon Naa.

If you just know Aishwarya Rai as Abhishek Bachchan's wife then you need to get yourself checked. She is first an actress of international standing and then the bahu of the Bachchan family.

Kiran Rao is the woman of the hour. Not only is her husband Aamir Khan the biggest star of the moment thanks to Ghajini, but the lady is now looking forward to her directorial debut.

Hrithik's wife Suzanne never had ambitions towards Bollywood, but she's definitely got the looks for it. The two would have made a great onscreen couple as well.

Sanjay Dutt kept his relationship with Manyata away from the public glare for a long time. When they eventually did get married, the marriage was labelled unlawful since a man claimed to be Manyata's husband.

Malaika Arora Khan, wife of Arbaaz Khan is definitely included in the hottest wives of Bollywood list. She is among the mature people who are related to Salman Khan and yet continue their friendship with SRK as well, despite the fight between the two superstars.

Twinkle Khanna married Akshay Kumar after much tension in the air and allegations of two-timing and other such rumours. She had since forbidden Akshay to see ex-girlfriend Shilpa Shetty. After almost a decade now, the two were seen sharing a stage on the finale of 'Bigg Boss'. Lately Akshay surprised his wife with a new Bentley, a rare car even for Bollywood.

A superstar herself, Kajol is also the wife of Ajay Devgan. She had taken a sabbatical from Bollywood to care for her daughter, but is now back. She has also confirmed that she is currently working with SRK once again for Karan Johar's My Name is Khan.

Madhuri Dixit can't really be called a Bollywood wife because her husband isn't in the industry, but she is married and she is still one of the most desirable women in Bollywood.

Hema Malini may belong to a generation older than the Bollywood wives mentioned earlier, but she can give each of the current ones a run for their money as far as beauty is concerned. Today, she is a more successful star than her husband Dharmendra.
