Every Bollywood girl is currently scouting for an item song. As we've said earlier; it gives them a lease of life for stage shows and it also brings in some quick money.

Some are sending feelers to filmmaker friends asking for it; others are at home practising their moves, waiting for a producer to knock. But we just heard there are still others who are hard nuts to crack.

Katrina Kaif refused an item song in the about-to-be-released thriller because she feels one Chikni Chameli is enough for a year in an outside production; unless of course one of her own films Ek Tha Tiger or Dhoom 3 require her to gyrate sensuously to a sassy number.

Rockstar newbie Nargis Fakri listened to the item song, praised the song, apparently even practised her moves at home and conveyed to the filmmakers that she thought it had great potential. But then she backed out at the nth hour because she got a break as a heroine again.

Priyanka Chopra who was promised, yes the proudcer confirmed this with us, ` 3 cr for the same item that Kat refused. However, she still wouldn't bite the bait. One would imagine that 'money makes an actor's world go around'; yet PC played hard to get. Is it because the leading man of the film and she share an 'indifferent' vibe?
