Whoohoo! Another fun Friday Shahid post. Yes, I have had too much sugar, but who cares?

So let’s go over some news stories about Shahid Kapoor doing the rounds this week.

Shahid is done shooting for Kismat Konnection (I think) and is now shooting for Ken Ghosh’s still untitled film with Jiah Khan. Apparently Vidya Balan misses her new friend though and reportedly drove up to sets one day to take Shahid out for lunch. But is Shahid really anything more than friends with Vidya, since other sources report that he keeps in constant touch with tennis player Sania Mirza.

On the other hand, there could be something real going on between the Vidya and Shahid because Vidya is even going to great lengths to avoid Kareena Kapoor. The actresses both performed at the Zee Cine Awards and both had been booked to practice at the same venue. When Vidya found out that Bebo was still inside practicing with Saif, she just sat in her car for a few hours while Kareena finished, to avoid any face-to-face meeting. That’s kinda sad…why couldn’t she have just gone elsewhere to pass time?

Jiah Khan explains the debacle behind the over-familiar SMS’s that she sent to Shahid that almost got her kicked out of Ken’s film and claims that wasn’t her sending the texts. Don’t you just love that word, ‘claimed’…in journalism lingo, it’s another way of saying that we think the person is talking crap. Jiah says that someone else sent those texts under her name…how very convenient.

“It’s so cheap to send compromising messages in someone else’s name,”

“Those were sent by someone else in my name. I’m so new to all this manipulation scheming and negativity.”

Well, isn’t she just a ray of innocent sunshine? If she had just admitted, “I’m obsessed with Shahid Kapoor and I may have gotten a bit over-excited at meeting him” we would have totally understood, because, who isn’t? But trying to fob it off as a conspiracy that someone wants to get her…please, she’s not famous enough to have her own conspiracy theory. I know that doesn’t make much sense, but who cares? It’s Friday! Have a great weekend all!

Wow, even I’m surprised that this story is for real but it’s coming from the horses mouth. Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are engaged! After dating for like 3 months, they’ve already committed themselves but ’shaadi itni jaldi nahee ho gee’ (the wedding isn’t going to happen that quickly).

Let’s do this in some chronological order, Ranbir and Deepika meet, Deepika reports,

“It was love at first sight. We were introduced by a mutual friend and we liked each other but we needed time for our love to grow before we could make a commitment.”

Ranbika evolves and media report that they are on the verge of break-up, Deepika says,

“At times it can be really upsetting. As we are open about our relationship, people should give some amount of respect to our relationship by not cooking up rumors,”

“Ranbir understands as he is a part of the fraternity. The gelling force of our relationship is that we understand each other.”

And finally, the big announcement that Ranbika will be as one, as Ranbir supposedly proposed soon after the release of Saawariya and Om Shanti Om, Deepika says,

“And I happily said yes,”

So, what are they waiting for? Well, apparently their careers have to stabilize first and with Ranbir’s next movie coming out soon, let’s see if he’s anything besides the Indian dude with the long hair from the filmi family.

Where does Deepika see herself in 5 years?

“Mrs Kapoor and the leading lady of Bollywood.”

People hoping for a Kajol-Shah Rukh Khan comeback are going to be seriously disappointed, because it doesn’t look like Kajol is coming on board for My name is Khan. Instead, that role may as well go to Kareena Kapoor.

Shah Rukh apparently wants to act with Kareena for a while now and has lobbied for her to get the lead role in Robot, when it was being co-produced by his Red Chillies banner and while it starred him, of course. Since then, SRK has pulled out of the project and Ash took the lead female role and I guess Shah Rukh is hoping for another chance with Kareena on Khan.

Since Kareena is going back to her flop ways (whoohoo!) Shah Rukh may wanna rethink that.

Welcome and it’s Friday again…yay! This week, you got a very good idea of what happens when you don’t get work done in time and spend 3 days trying to do the stuff that you had 2 weeks to do previously, but you decided to fritter those 2 weeks away in mindless pursuits, that frankly rocks but are not conducive of your academic career. What happens then is that you neglect your blog and you don’t get to make fun of celebrities and the bitterness just eats you away inside. So my main point is, SoggyCornflakes is good for the health!

In today’s story, I’d like to debate affirmative action and the affect it has on the European Union. Oh wait, wrong blog. Just kidding, like I would ever have a blog on something as boring as that…even though I have to study that crap on campus…sob…anyways, back to the actual story.

It looks like Aishwarya Rai has a new friend! That shocks me since I was under the impression that she spent her days calorie-counting for Abhishek, but apparently she doesn’t and looked incredibly chummy with Eva Longoria of Desperate Housewives fame at the Cannes Film Festival.

Eva and Ash are both brand ambassadors for L’Oreal Paris (who’s sponsoring the event for the 11th year) and I guess that’s why they were hanging out at the event. But they still looked pretty friendly, laughing and giggling away with no sign of Abhishek around (though he is supposed to be around somewhere in Paris with his mom).

While she looked better on the second day, Ash looked slightly alien-y for the opening ceremony (pic above) though a male friend declared he would “still do her”. Ah, aren’t the Y-chromosome species just so sensitive?

It can’t be easy being Preity Zinta now a days. Your players are getting slapped about, your team’s not that great and your boyfriend just kicked you out of his car in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, you heard it, Preity’s boyfriend Ness Wadia kicked her out in the scorching Chandigarh heat to fend for herself the best she could and the Veer-Zaara actress was left on the road singing “Khabhi Alvida na Kehna…”

Hehe, ok, that was bad, even for me but read the whole story here!

I haven’t had a chance to make fun of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone for a while but they’re back on the back page with the stories of their maybe break up…obviously they deny it.

After lots of media speculation that they had broken up, Deepika speaks out and reminds us all that they are definitely still together.

“Yes I have a boyfriend and we are happy.”

“There is always a lot of speculation but that is something you have to deal with. We are together and I refer to him as my boyfriend.”

And he refers to her as “time-pass”. Just kidding, that is quite cruel. Possibly not as cruel as their Pepsi commercials however, since they keep trying to stuff that “Youngistan” crap down people’s throats and if that isn’t enough to piss you off, you’ll get to see them in Bachna Ae Haseeno soon…still think I’m cruel?

Well, the best way to do that is get a dubbed DVD or just wait for Nikhil Advani to make his new movie.

Nikhil is making sure things are legit this time around when he makes the Bollywood version of Wedding Crashers, which starred Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in the original.

Honestly!

Aamir Kahn recently wrote a fun entry on his blog where he described his typical family situation,

“A cool breeze is blowing, jannat ki hawa (breeze from the heavens), as my mother calls it. Ammi, Ira and Junaid are by my side and we are in the middle of one of our favourite board games ‘Settlers Of Catan’. Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?”

Before you start thinking that Aamir must be blackmailing Shah Rukh Khan so badly, the Shah Rukh referred to in his blog is Aamir’s dog. And no, he didn’t name the dog that…here’s the story…

“When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shahrukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup…, and named him Shahrukh. What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shahrukh!!!

“Some of my friends claim that I bought the house just because of the dog. I would have to be a serious fan of Shahrukh’s to want to do that. Your guess…

“All I can say is I’m waiting for him [Shah Rukh] to come over..”

And if dogs were named after their owners, there’s another Shah Rukh Khan in the world. Aamir must have had so much fun writing that post, especially since he ended by saying…

“Well Shahrukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get back to him. He is smelling too much, I think he needs a bath. “Heel boy, heel.”

Ah, that is pure evil…I love it!

Weirdly enough, Sonam Kapoor is one of the few actresses that is happy that she wasn’t cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan for his next movie.

Rab De Bana Di Jodi (God made this relationship) is Yash Raj’s next attempt at getting a hit and after realising that Kareena and Saif aren’t going to bring in the money, Aditya Chopra has moved back to tried and tested Shah Rukh.

Sonam says that the role was never offered to her to begin with,

“Since the film was announced speculation started about me being in the project. Arrey baba, I was never offered the film! I don’t know where this whole thing started, honestly. I did visit Adi a couple of times like any other actor.

But not for any particular role. Maybe people saw me entering Yashraj. Nowadays even if an actress passes by Yashraj she’s rumoured to have signed a film with them.”

“I had never even approached Adi for this role and I had a reason for it.I know it required someone very Punjabi and young.

I’ve just played a full-on Punjabi kudi, salwar-kameez sharara-gharara and all, in Rakeysh Mehra’s Dilli 6. Even in Saawariya I was in full elaborate Indian clothes. Now I need change of pace..and grace.”

Even though Sonam is looking for a more modern role, she is not into skimpy outfits…after all, her father Anil Kapoor is her adviser and it’s understandable that he wouldn’t want his teenage daughter parading around like that. Sonam is worried about honour too, after she reportedly turned down a Rakesh Roshan project because it asked for a bit too much skin.

“All I’ll say is, I’d never do anything to compromise myself or my family, or any film where I’ve to cringe at the premiere.”

Wow, honestly, I admire her resolve.

It’s tough being Celina Jaitley now a days as the actress juggles family and career commitments.

The Money Hain to Honey Hain star is desperate to spend some time with her brother who was recently injured but also has commitments to Golmaal Returns to fulfill.

Read how she’s juggling it here.
