SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Hah, you thought Saif Ali Khan would refuse to do a film with Karan Johar, well, you're wrong. He just doesn't wanna do a film with his assistant. Apparently Saif doesn't have the dates to do the film, which would also star Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai/Bachchan. And...yeah, that's it for today, my head hurts. I'm going to bed

Or he can't paint and his paintings are only selling for 10 million rupees because he's Salman Khan and he painted it.

At a recent Mumbai art auction organized by Ramola Bachchan for Plan India, a well-known charity, Salman Khan's painting was about to be sold for Rs.20 lakhs, which any novice artist would consider 'very good'! But Salman Khan was confident that his art was unique and extraordinary. So when Plan India seemed to accept the bid of Rs.20 lakhs, he walked onto the stage and pulled out his offering from the auction and waited for an opportunity to sell it for a better price. It seems that Ramesh, an art lover, heard about Sallubhai pulling out his painting from the Bachchan auction and contacted the actor.

So...at least the money is going to an auction...I think, I hope, maybe, quite probably Salman is taking the money for himself. I never ever got any money for my paintings! Just like 5 bucks, though I'm saving that and waiting for it to become an antique, then I'll be rich!

Well, no surprise here, SoggyCornflakes got its news wrong again. As reported previously, Sushmita Sen will be a part of the Don 2 cast...is wrong. Sush will not be a part of the cast, but Priyanka will be making a comeback, along with Shah Rukh Khan, unless they get it into their heads that they need a new Don.

The sequel is expected to be much more lavish, spectacular and gorged with effects because of the new technologically oriented films namely Dhoom and Krissh,raising the bar and standards. Dubbed Hollywood movies such as Spiderman 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 make matters worse. The budget and the locations for Don 2 will be far more spectacular than the first part. Dates for Shah Rukh and Priyanka have been finalised for early next year.

So yay, in all likelihood, Don 2 will be one huge, spectacular piece of crap! Indian's are not good at sequels...but there's always a chance this one might be a hit, if only because of the hype. Ok, I'm off to write my exam. Wish me luck everyone, please?

Well, because that's the only way it'll sound really funny. Good morning everyone, sorry for the lack of updates yesterday, was a bit busy with a bunch of suicidal and sick people. When I take over the world with my partner in crime Pinky, the world is gonna be a happier place because I'm gonna get rid of all the murderers and rapists...seriously, they should make me ruler! BWAHAHAHA! Ok, SO Hrithik Roshan was in an accident, but...he's ok! Yay, all you girls can stop celebrating now. To confirm his okay-ness, his father Rakesh Roshan says:

"Yes there was an accident. Nowadays Hrithik is shooting nights in Karjat for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha-Akbar. At around 9.30 pm Hrithik was in the backseat of his car when the car behind him bumped hard into our car. And then before Hrithik and the driver knew what was happening, a truck from behind hit both Hrithik's car and the car that had bumped into it."

Even though that sounds pretty bad, Hrithik got away unhurt and his car only suffered a few scratches. Wow, he's lucky. That was far worse when I smashed my car into the house, but my car got seriously wrecked. Some people just get all the luck!

I never thought Akshaye Khanna could dance and except for his goofy cuteness (and by cuteness, I'm referring to his acting and not his looks, Bechara is starting to show his age), I didn't really see what Akshay could bring to Bollywood's song and dance sequences, but apparently Akshaye can dance.

He will be seen dancing with newcomer Urvashi Shrama in a sensual dance number in his upcoming music thriller "Naqaab". The comfort level between the pair was terrific and choreographer Raju Khan is overjoyed. He says Akshaye has a flexible body and so it was not so difficult for him to train to get the steps right.

This I have got to see, Akshaye dances almost as terribly as Abhishek! These guys are too tall and not particularly comfortable in their own skins, so speaks dance instructor Tigger

Have you heard of Pearl Verma? Nope? I thought not. The student-turned-reluctant actress has decided that being a clever clogs was more important than having a bit role in a film with Shah Rukh Khan. As sport-themed movies are becoming more acceptable in Bollywood, Shah Rukh is starring in Chak De India (Chuck it away India? Someone help!), a movie centered around an all-girls hockey team. Pearl rejected a role in the film to write her grade 12 exams and became a top achiever with a 94% average. WOW! And the girl is kind of pretty too, looks a bit like Juhi Chawla. It's quite rare to find a girl who's pretty and clever...gotcha! You thought I would go on about how pretty and clever I am, but I won't! I'm humble!

Shilpa Shetty says the media and press only like to focus on inconsequential things without looking at the bigger picture

''It is all of you from the media who put me in the headlines and are unnecessarily giving me undue importance...One goes for a praiseworthy event in support of HIV/AIDS and instead of focusing on the severity and importance of the cause the media pays more heed to matters that are completely irrelevant and inconsequential. If I don't blame the media then what should I do?"

Well, as much as I hate to have to agree with Shilpa, she's right. No-one should even bother with Shilpa Shetty, we should all concentrate on the Indian truck-drivers who pass around HIV. I wonder what scandals they have to their name?

Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm right in the middle of exams and I think I might just lose my mind before too long...but it's okay, no-one stress, I don't need my mind to write for SoggyCornflakes. Ok, so Nisha Kothari was apparently kicked out from the set of Good Luck by director Aditya Dutt because she behaved unprofessionally. Nisha was only on the set for a few days, but her disregard for the film and bragging about her film with mentor Ram Gopal Verma apparently drove everyone over the edge. Aditya has got a new unnamed actress for the role, but is waiting for her to put on weight before they start shooting.

Actor, talk show host and model(?) Karan Johar has turned 35 and isn't happy about it. The driector of 2 hit movies and the pathetic piece-of-crap-that-was-only-fit-to-be-used-to-clean-horse-faeces-of-Delhi-streets says,

“I am not at all happy about turning 35, so I threw a party to celebrate my depression. I think I’m growing old too quickly! Yesterday, I even coloured my grey hair black!”

How do you grow old too quickly? It takes most people a year... 365 days. Unless Karan Johar was working on a time-machine while filming KANK (Which would explain the quality of the movie) I don't see why he's complaining. The guy should just shut up and go sit in his closet. Coming out from time to time to make some crap movie. Which I'll watch. Because I like watching crap movies... provided their fluffy...

The ex Mr. Rai (Sometimes carelessly known as Vivek Oberoi) has decided to open up, regarding his oft-debated (in my mind) sexuality. Rai/Oberoi says,

"I am single. This whole lady-killer bit is too much. If I go by what is being reported about me, it would seem I am dating everything that walks on two legs. See, I do flirt a bit, but I am a hopeless romantic at the end of the day. I am the kind of guy who believes in a glass of wine, poetry and some music the perfect sense of romance."

I'll ignore the lady killer bit. I assume he's joking because his is a face that only his mum (When she's very very drunk can love). And... I get the wine bit (If you're not a muslim... or from one of those religions that says no alcohol... if you are. Shame on you!) and even the flirting. But poetry... pfft... I've seen manlier women... with long hair... in skirts... wearing tops that say "I'm a women"... Bravo Vivek!
