SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Bollywood star and ugliest-dude-who's-considered-a-hottie Sanjay Dutt will not be convicted yet for his crimes. That actor was charged for buying illegal weapons from the gangsters who planned and executed India's worst bombings. He was cleared from any involvement in the actual bombing in 1993, that killed 257 people but he was charged with possessing a pistol and an AK-47 (ummm, why? I thought everyone walked around with Ak-47s in India...oh wait, that's Iraq. Moving on). He has already spent a year in jail but could be sentenced to another 10 in the lock-up. His sentencing has been postponed because the court is waiting for some probation papers but Sanjay's lawyer is hoping he gets off with little or no jail time citing his good behaviour as a reason to decrease jail-time.

Maybe I'm living in the previous decade, but I'm expecting to leech my parents dry when I get married. I am going to have a big, BIG and lavish wedding and they are going to pay for it all! -BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA- She gave her parents and brother approximately 80 Million rupees before she became a Bachchan and she paid herself for numerous items for the shaadi, including jewellery, saris and other clothes. Ok, so maybe it makes sense that Aishwarya had to pay for this, since I don't think her dad could have forked out that kind of cash. On the other hand, my dad will pay, because he's a professional and I haven't earned enough from this website to buy a slab of chocolate...or maybe I have...mmmmm, chocolate!

Superstar Hrithik Roshan's father, Rakesh Roshan is trying to expand his film company to the likes of Yash Raj and hopes that many different directors would work for the production house Filmkraft Productions Pvt Ltd. Rakesh Roshan will fund the productions as long as Hrithik is acting in them. Some people think that Hrithik only works well under his father and Rakesh is hoping that other directors will prove that Hrithik is a true megastar and not just 'Daddy's little darling'. Oh, and about the throwing? Sources report that Hrithik is rather picky when it comes to film scripts and will throw them out of the window if they don't please him. Stop littering Hrithik, save the environment.

Anyone know who Suman Ranganathan and Bunty Wallia are? Yeah, me neither, but apparently they are getting a divorce after only a few months of being married. Oooh, oooh, wait, I'm kinda getting the idea of who they are. Bunty is a producer, of films such as Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya and Suman was one of the evil daughters-in-law in Baghban, the one who played Rimi Sen's mother, yeah, that's her. Suman apparently one day just walked in, packed her stuff and walked out, leaving Bunty with a list of things she wants in the divorce, including a house and a car. Bunty is working hard to prove that maybe Suman was cheating on him during their shhadi, so he might not end up paying her much after all.

Says a well-informed source, "Bunty has enough evidence, including phone –bill print-outs proving there has been a lot going on behind his back. He has been talking to friends about Suman's intense attachment to a cousin of hers from abroad and also to her keen friendship with her trainer in her gym. You see, the end of this marriage has been a shock to Bunty. One not-so-fine day she came home and collected her things, including towels, cosmetics and declared she was moving out. Bunty demanded his family jewels and money. Suman has yet to return those."

I kinda don't have a hard time seeing why Suman left this guy. I don't condone cheating ever, but he is kinda ugly. Yeah, I'm not shallow, I'm realistic!

Contrary to the article in The Times of India, I think Indian men looks stupid with blonde hair, as do women. This is my opinion though, so don't start swearing me if you have blonde hair and look like a muppet. Actually, go ahead, I'm waiting for a good debate to happen in the comments. Ya Ya, Hrithik was quite hot in Dhoom 2, but that was more because of physique rather than his hair.

Actor Jimmy Shergill personally dislikes being blond. "It was just an experiment," he says. "My designers, stylist and the director forced me into it. They wanted to portray a stylish corporate guy, hence this look. In films if a role demands you to change your look, you have to. Even in my film Raqeeb I have a similar look. I’m back to my natural colour now and it feels great. Taking care of coloured hair is also quite stressful." Hair expert Javed Habib, who has blond streaks himself, says the colour looks great on Indian men.

See? Jimmy Shergill has some brains. And have you seen Lasith Malinga from the Sri Lankan team, he looks like Ronald McDonald, in negative! So in conclusion, I'm right, Times of India is wrong and Princess Tigger is leader of the whole universe. The End.

I know, isn't that exciting? And they'll be dancing in New York, even more exciting! And they'll be doing it in front of an audience! Yay! God, there is so not enough Bollywood news out there.

Kangana is all set to do the unthinkable at the Bollywood Movie Awards 2007 on 25 May at Long Island, New York. Says Kangana, "I'm dancing to a re-mix of songs from my films Gangster, Woh Lamhe and Metro. Except that these are male numbers. I've got them re-recorded into a female voice and will be dancing to them." Isn't she embarrassed to be dancing to songs originally filmed on Emraan Hashmi and Shiney Ahuja? "Not at all!" asserts Kangana. "Numbers like ‘Kya yeh pyar hai’ might not be filmed on me. But they express my emotions as much as anybody else's in these films. And who remembers whom ‘Kaanta laga’ was originally picturized on?" Kangana has never been to New York. She's looking forward to seeing the city. “I love the feel of strange cities. I can roam for hours on my own."

Ok, so hope they have a good time. Just as much fun as I'm going to have now because I'm off to study.

Well, not ordinary people (though that would be a good idea for a reality show) but her co-stars. Madhuri Dixit is making a come-back to the silver screen with her new movie Aaja Nachle (Let's Dance), acting with Divya Dutta, who under Madhuri's strict eye has lost 5 kgs and is well on her way to being thin, toned and fit.

The diet regime lasted for 15 days and did wonders for her helping her to tone her body. The diet was the result of Madhuri’s insistance. Divya eats six small portions comprising cereals, green vegetables and fruits throughout the day. This has been instrumental in her transition from fat to fit. Carbohydrates, oily curries and junk food are a strict no-no. She has also been sweating it out with a trainer in tow her last meal for the day is around 8.30 pm. Apparently even Madhuri follows a similar diet.

Once again ladies, be healthy, but don't be stupid. Madhuri's diet is quite healthy but a few carbs never hurt anyone. I might not be a doctor but I'm becoming a psychologist...that's almost the same thing, because I deal with health of the mind...I can expand that to the body, can't I?

John Abraham will be acting in another Deepa Mehta film Luna alongside Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz. This is his second movie with Deepa after working in her film Water, which was an internationally acclaimed hit. Deepa says:

“John plays an environmentalist in Luna, but he is not an Indian or an American in the film. His culture origins aren’t specified. This makes him bollywood’s first actor to crack the West without playing an NRI or some exotic creature. He has a full fledged role opposite Rachel.”

Well, that kinda makes sense. I guess John doesn't have your average Indian looks, so he has a lot of flexibility in the roles that he can play. Yeah, I'm off now, update more later. Toodle-pip!

Except its not really a diss, it's more like a subtle attempt at being a juvenile, except that it's not subtle, so its basically Kareena acting like a grade 3 kid. There has always been tension between the Bachchan's and the Kapoor's after Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan basically broke up before just going up the aisle...or around the mandir, whatever. I'm not 100% sure what the story is and why they broke up, nut now Abhi and Karisma are both married to other people but the two families don't act with each other. Usually it was Abhishek pulling out of projects where it was likely that Kareena would be cast, but this time Kareena gave him a taste of his own medicine, despite him agreeing to work with her this time. Director Apoorva Lakhia is surprised that Kareena turned down the role because she would have to star opposite the Junior Bachchan. You know, pride is pride, but I'm not really sure if Kareena is in the position to the turning down roles with Abhi, who's the Golden Boy of Bollywood now. Now you see, that was a subtle diss!

Ok, so everything looks the same, but we have some good news! We will be bringing you more regular crap throughout the week, any day, any time. At this time I would like to thank everyone who helped make SoggyCornflakes the mediocre crap that it is. Mum, Dad, I love you! Thank you also to my friends who read this and then lie to me and tell me how creative I am. You'll are useless liars but I appreciate the gesture. Thank you to my hamster Sniffy for dying, because if you hadn't, I'd still be cleaning your cage you little monster and thanks most of all to all our readers. You guys rock! -Tigger-
