"You're going to have a completely new, all-Canadian production opening at the Royal Alex in July, 2012 . I would love to hear Justin Bieber sing 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables'.

Please spread the word that he'd be more than welcome in the show," Mackintosh said. The 64-year-old has reworked the musical - which is based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo and the musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil, which follows the lives of several characters during the French revolution.

The revamped production - which first opened at the Barbican Centre in London in 1985 - features new staging and a totally new set design, inspired by Hugo's paintings. "I was inspired to do a new version when I realised that the show was going to be 25 years old.

You always have a different point of view on something after 25 years and just for my own sanity's sake, I had to see it fresh again," Mackintosh added. Tweet (less)

The format of the special show is different and in her exclusive interview, Simi presents Lady Gaga's life story interspersed with her interview and her chartbusting music that has put her on the international map in no time. The maverick singer, who is known for her bizarre fashion sense and outlandish hairstyle, opens up to the veteran host about her love for India besides other things.

On being asked if she aware there is massive craze about her visit to India, the singer said she is aware but is sad about the mis-reportage of her. She added money has never been her criteria.

"I don't have money - whatever I have I spend on my shows," she added. On her plans of coming to India, Simi says, "She was quite upset at the media reports that she will not be doing a concert in India because she wants more money.

She said it was entirely untrue. She is dying to connect to India, loves Indian food and she knows she has hordes of fans in India.

So she is coming to India in October, she said, not for a concert, as she has to shoot for her new video, but for a promotional tour". What may take Lady Gaga's Indian fans by surprise is that she not only is aware of Indian film industry but finds Bollywood interesting and wants to know more about it too.

The singer confessed on the show that she is in awe of Bollywood. "I love it.

It's completely surreal and genius," she said. Lady Gaga's love for India is not just limited to Bollywood, as the 25-year-old singer also vows her love for Indian cuisine.

"I love Indian food. I love spicy curry.

I used to eat Indian food in New York," she says. As a special gift, Simi gifts Lady Gaga Farah Khan's Bollywood dances DVD.

And this is what Simi had to say about it, "You know I had a feeling, with her pace of life, Gaga couldn't have seen much of our Bollywood stuff. Who better to give an introduction to Bollywood dances & songs than Farah Khan? So I asked my dear friend Farah to please make a DVD for Gaga.

Farah got it done for me overnight. I specially asked her to put Chaiyya, Sheila, Munni, Dhoom Tana and Gaga was thrilled to get the DVD! "Oh my God I would love to see this!' she said, 'I'm going to watch this tonight!' She gave it to her assistant, 'Please give this to me tonight'.

Again, I put all Farah's contact details on the label. You never know when good things can happen.

" And that's not all, Simi also gifts Lady Gaga a beautiful lehnga designed by Anamika Khanna. The lehenga is black in colour and fully encrusted in pearls, gold and silver and weighs as much as 10 kilos! Later on in the show, Lady Gaga compliments Simi for her dress.

She said: "You are not dressed regularly. You look like a fashionista in my eyes.

" Gaga, who is popular for making outrageous comments every now and then also said, "All my lashes are in the shower. Every morning I obsessively line them up.

" And while she may be the reigning pop star and have the world swooning to her numbers, but Lady Gaga claims that she is a loner at heart. "I'm lonely and married to loneliness," Lady Gaga said.

The singer also disclosed her greatest fear on the show. "I am afraid of missing out on a creative idea because of lack of time.

" Gaga claims that music is her life and that "I would die without my work. I'm reborn every time with my new song and new album," she said.

The Born This Way singer is scheduled to visit India soon but it isn't clear if that includes a performance. Tweet (less)

..

Everyone's trying to tug at me and take my spot. Like Floyd Mayweather, he's the best boxer in the world.

That is why I became an actor. I'll do anything - dance at weddings, stand on my head.

I'll sell my body if it makes you smile. I want to make movies so damned big, so grand, that my parents up in heaven can sit on a star, and watch it and say, that's my son's film.

SRK wishes Sallu I don't know the details of Salman's injury, but I think all of us, including myself, pray for his speedious (that's what he said) recovery and I want him to come back completely cured. Salman's a tough guy and Insha Allah he will recover very very fast and he needs to come back to where he belongs, which is to the top of his game.
