Julia Roberts has returned to work with Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani to raise money for the fight against AIDS in Africa, designing a T-shirt to be sold under the 'Red' label. The Academy Award-winning actress has drawn the symbolic tree of life with the words 'revolution.evolution.devotion' arching over its foliage.

The words are behind the acronym for 'Red,' the name of a product-branding alliance to raise money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Under the scheme - the brainchild of U2 rock star Bono and Bobby Shriver, the nephew of former US President John F Kennedy - manufacturers channel a portion of the profits from 'Red'-branded goods to the fund.

Money rose from events and product sales tied to the label have raised more than $110 million since it began in 2006, according to a statement from Giorgio Armani. The T-shirt designed by Roberts will go on sale in September both online and at Emporio Armani stores worldwide, a spokeswoman for the fashion designer said. Available for men and women, the T-shirt will also have her signature inside.

It is the second time that Roberts has worked with Armani for the 'Red' label.

The first time saw her use the same idea of the tree for a leather bracelet. Armani also sells clothing, accessories, eyewear, watches, fragrances and jewellery under the 'Red' label, offering 40 percent of the gross profit margin on sales to the fund.

Speculations of Priyanka Chopra having donned a bikini in 'Dostana' are rife. But what is confirmed is that actor Minnisha Lamba is all set to show off her sexy body in Sanjay Gadhvi's 'Kidnap.' The girl wears a - ooh la la - white bikini and has quite a few water scenes! Apparently, the girl lost oodles of baby fat for her role. And is looking quite stunning.

The real fun however will begin when we hear of some bikini bickering from fellow contemporaries, and how Minni will handle the deep end of her 'shallow act.' But as of the moment, the girl is making 'waves,' so let's not waive her off just yet. It's interesting to note that Gadhvi has made many-a-voluptuous woman discard their tassles and emerge in the sexiest of outfits. In Dhoom, Esha Deol was applauded for her makeover, In Dhoom 2, Ash was at her oomphiest best. And now, we have the simple Minnisha Lamba going the extra mile in 'Kidnap.'

When we got in touch with Gadhvi, he didn't wish to say more but insisted that the character was a teenager who carried a bikini in the glove box of her car.
