The website, which is owned by News Corp (the same company that owns Star Box Office), is one of the most popular sites for men in America.The askmen.com editors compared Mallika to Halle Berry on their oomphmeter and caller her the 'Marilyn Monroe of Bollywood'! Hmmm, we wonder what Katrina and Kareena have to say about that.

There were reports that Dia had developed differences with the makers of "Acid Factory" due to the delay in releasing the film, but the beauty queen-turned-actress denies it.She said: "The film is releasing as scheduled - winter 2009. It's a big release and they (the filmmakers) have a grand plan for the marketing of the film. The shooting of the film is complete and it is in the post production stage now."
