| | The skirt, and its shape,
back in play this season |  MIRANDA Berman thinks of
herself as treading fairly close
to fashion´s cutting edge.
"When everyone is wearing
leggings, you´re automatically
different if you wear a skirt," she said. Her
own outfit on any given day might incorporate

song in Zanjeer remake |  ITEM songs have almost become
a staple in Bollywood films, and
Amit Mehra who is producing
the remake of 1973 film Zanjeer
too plans to cash in on the trend
by including two item numbers, of
which one will be featured on actress
Mahie Gill.
"We will definitely have item numbers
in the film. In fact, we have decided
to go with two item numbers," Mehra
said.
"The songs are a part of the script and
they will be situational. One item song
will be featured on Mahie and for the
other, we are yet to decide whom to
cast," he added.
Mahie will also essay Bindu´s
