SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Wow, when I thought Shah Rukh couldn't get more generous, he starts giving out free cars on Kaun Banega Crore Pati (Who wants to be a millionaire?). Copying Oprah Winfrey, SRK and the producers of KBC are giving out 9 Santros to the studio audience of KBC. IndiaFm reports

As SRK is the brand ambassador of Hyundai Santro, it was probably the most likely car to be given out. It may be recalled that Oprah Winfrey gave away 276 Pontiac G-6 midsize 2005 sports sedans in 2004 to all the members of her audience present at the studio. Though Shah Rukh tags the episode as nothing special, he went onto say that they did want to do something as the season was going to end.

Yeah, I'd totally want to be on the show to get the Santro from Shah Rukh, but I have a perfectly good car already...Nissan Sentra's rock!

Mallika Sherawat is going to check if the grass really is greener on the other side after having a few tastes of Hollywood cinema. The Bollywood bombshell is thinking about relocating to the States and is hoping to start a proper career there.

“What’s wrong in going global?” Mallika starts the conversation defending her act, “It’s important to explore newer horizons. Why confine oneself to one place? Don’t cricketers compete on a global platform? So why shouldn’t actors?” The rumors [quitting Hindi movies] are true? “I am not quitting Bollywood. I owe my name, fame, everything to Hindi movies. It has given me tremendous respect, something I cannot deny. But at the same time, I am in no mood to accept itsy-bitsy roles in Hindi films. Why should I? Give me roles of substance and I wouldn’t complain. Didn’t I accept PYAAR KE SIDE/EFFECTS with a new director [Saket Chaudhary]? My next film [FAUJ MEIN MAUJ] is not a multi-crore film again. The script has to be tempting, otherwise I am not interested,” she speaks her mind.

Mallika is staying, yay! She'll be there plying her trade all over the world, so good for her. Why do some actors/actresses think that they're serious business when they're usually just hired to see how much skin they can expose? That's like me thinking that I write on SoggyCornflakes because I'm not flaming hot...you think I write here because of my brains? You wish!

Tusshar Kapoor has hailed Kareena Kapoor for her dancing and lip-syncing for her song "Its Rocking Yaara Kabhie Ishk to Karo" (Its rocking darling, make love sometimes) and says that she's outdone Britney Spears as her video was much funkier and cooler than most of Britney's recent stuff. Well, I can't really comment about the video since I havn't watched it, but it seriously isn't harder to beat Britney Spears now a days. My singing in the shower would make a better video than Britney attempting to sing...Strangling a cat while singing in the shower is better...strangling a cat while singing in the shower and eating with my mouth full would be a bestseller compared to Britney...though I think I'm losing the point here. Sorry, basically, I'm saying Britney sucks.

Sorry about not updating yesterday, I really was way too busy with all the cute guys around me...but I dumped them all because I'm bored of them and I'll be constantly updating until I find some new guys ;-). So, today's topic is Emraan Hashmi who insists that his career isn't defined by his on-screen smootches. I'll have to disagree with you there Emraan, maybe the movie isn't defined by the kiss, but your career certainly is. Where has he ever been mentioned without his kisses being talked about? See, even I'm doing it here...sorry, Emraan. But maybe I should give Emraan some credit, he got married in December so maybe his new wife will inspire him to stop showing off his lip-locking skills on-screen. Just like when I get married, I might stop throwing $1000 notes out of my limo, marraige teaches you responsibility!

Once again, I prove that I am SOOO naive! How come I think that the actresses in Bollywood are sweet girls who have the same kind of values as normal Indian girls? Guess I was wrong. Anyways. Akshay Kumar doesn't seem happy with being accused by Shilpa Shetty that he cheated on her before they broke up and is now doing a little reporting of his own. His friend tells News of the World (the awe-inspiring tabloid rag that it is) about how Akshay took Shilpa's virginity and how her innocent demeanor gives way to something else when she's in bed...read about it here. Whatever, I'm not gonna comment on this, except that Shilpa must learn how to read people better, because Akshay just looks like a playboy at a glance.

Well, he doesn't drive because his driver was driving, but Salman got a speeding ticket and his driver's licence was confiscated...well, not his licence, but his driver's drivers licence...does that make any sense? I feel sorry for Salman, he's having a tough time. First, he kills some homeless guy on the street, than he kills sume endangered bucks, then he feels neglected because Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor didn't suck up to him, and now he has these pesky police trying to stop him from driving his black car quickly. You see, I don't really know much about cars, except that some are pretty and some should be set alight. An Audi A4 is so pretty, especially the black one...so if you're a guy with an Audi A4 and you're not TOO ugly, call me. Or even if you are ugly, call me anyways, I'm sure I could organise a paper bag from somewhere. No, I'm NOT shallow, I just appreciate God's creation's, especially the pretty black machines. Oh, and Salman was driving 61kms per hour in a 40 zone...whoop-de-doo! And anyone having their holidays or going anywhere this weekend, have a safe trip, don't drive like Salman :-D.

Yeah, she isn't really, but just to be on the safe side, Amitabh Bachchan and his family had a special prayer to make her lose her 'Manglik' (Unlucky) status...well, this was reported a while back, but Amitabh has now declared that nothing of th sort happened.

"Nothing like this ever took place," the actor told this week's edition of the Indian magazine "The Week," calling the widespread media accounts of the ceremonies "intrusive and insensitive."

Aishwarya Rai (33) is engaged to be married to not-so-Bollywood-heartthrob Abhishek Bachchan (31) of the Bachchan cult...sorry, Bachchan Family. Their wedding was reported set for the 14 of April, but there hasn't been any confirmation or denial of these reports. Ash was declared unlucky because Mars falls in her horoscope, or something like that. Mars is supposed to make the groom fall ill and die prematurely. I believe that, I honestly do, I've seen so many trophy wives who had Mars in their horoscope...that's why their rich, old husbands died, right? It's all Mars fault, has nothing to do with them being toxic bitches...yeah.

Shah Rukh Khan is tired of the crap special effects in Indian movies, not only in digital enhancement but also in fighting sequences, where punches are THIS far away from the punchee (editors note: Is that even a word?)

"I want our F-X to be comparable with the best in the world," Khan, referring to a technical term for describing special effects, told the Mumbai Mirror daily. I want to spend the next three months honing up the F-X in our production house."

But I think special effects have improved recently, now I have to rewind and pause DVD's before I see the mistake, usually I just saw it as it was happening. Yeah, I'm pretty bored now...I'm going to the gym...not because I have to, but because I want to. I wanna see if I can get any more hot, though I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

If you were thinking what I was thinking, than shame on you. I'm the only one allowed to be perverted around here! Ok, so today's news...and I'm updating early, so yay for me...actually, it's because I have nothing to do, but I still love you guys so much and thank you for reading this. The pretty balls I'm talking about are also pretty expensive, since they're made out of gold and diamonds. There's two of them (tee-hee) and basically, they're diamond studded cricket balls which are supposed to be awarded to the best Indian cricketer and the best international player in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. You can get some more info here. Hope you have a good day and a brilliant weekend!

Before I start kissing ass and going on about how commendable and noble these actors are, I would like to point out that Akshay Kumar is the biggest flirt in the industry and Sushmita Sen thinks its Ok to sleep with married men and virginity is just a myth that girls should no longer cater to. There, those are our brilliant Indian examples who will be acting in a documentary for the Population Service International (PSI) with Hollywood actress Ashley Judd. The AIDS documentary will be directed by Chandramouli Basu who wants to create awareness about the disease is India, which is the hardest-hit country in the Subcontinent. The movie will also be a fund-raising effort and will be released on December 1st, World AIDS day. I don’t want to make fun of the initiative, so everyone just follow the ABCD’s of AIDS awareness…Abstain, Be Faithful, Condomise or you will Die! How’s that for political correctness?
