SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

So… the loser that updates this blog is sick again… so I’ll update… from SoggyCornflakes.com - Sports… visit me… please…

Anyway.

Former Miss India (What’s up with that? Once they were producing girls like Aishwarya, Priyanka and Sushmita and now we get Celina Jaitley and Tanushree? Blah!) Tanushree Dutta says that she was taken advantage of during the filming of her latest movie. She says that she told the director, Raj Kanwar, that she would not be doing any kissing or lovemaking scenes. He apparently agreed with her, saying that he only makes family films.

It came as a surprise to Tanushree than, when he said that the movie was filled with explicit scenes.

She’s apparently shocked that such an experienced man can involve himself in a such a cheap publicity stunt.

You know, even though I don’t know who the guy is… and the only thing I know about Tanushree Dutta is that she’s a shame to the Ms. India title. I MUST take his side. I mean, he said I make family films. And family films are always filled with softcore pornography, bloody car chases and random girls taking their tops off… I mean isn’t that what family viewing is all about?

…

What d’you mean, “only my family”?

If Vivek Oberoi thought his days of being connected to Aishwarya Rai were over, boy, was he wrong.

Asihwarya will now be acting in a new Hollywood film Singularity and while actors Brendan Fraser and Vivek were connected to it, in all likelihood, Vivek won’t be in the cast because of his previous involvement with the new Mrs Abhishek Bachchan.

I feel sorry for the poor guy…first being a breakthrough star, then dating a Miss World…now he’s reduced to being an almost-been and his ex-girlfriend is making him lose jobs! That’s tough!

Girls, do you want to be Shilpa? Then you’d better start liking the men Shilpa Shetty likes!

Shilpa was asked with which three men she would like to be stuck in an elevator with and she replied:

“A lift man. And I quite like, erm, who is the guy in The Holiday with Cameron Diaz? Jude Law? Oh, he is hot. And while we’re at it, I wouldn’t mind Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise…And if we’re having so many, I’ll also have Colin Firth. Oh, and Russell Crowe. Yes, let’s have them all, why not?”

That sounds like a fun game, though I’d say Shilpa’s taste in men is pretty useless…Jude Law? Tom Cruise? Russell Crowe? I know some women find them attractive but EWWW! And you know why I have issues with these dudes? Jude? Has Man-Whore written all over him. Tom is a freaky midget Scientologist and Russell? He’s just not good looking.

Why don’t you all tell me who you’d wanna be stuck in an elevator with? But I can’t tell you, I’m shy -blush-.

Karan Johar is hoping to break into the Bollywood industry again, except this time he’ll be on the other side of the camera. After the end of Koffee with Karan, Karan has a bit too much free time on his hands, so he may be having some delusional episodes.

“I would love to act in movies and I’m really open to offers, I’m not looking forward to people offering me a hero’s role in their films. I’ll even love to do a cameo in the films as I feel after hosting so many shows and even walking the ramp, I’ll be confident in front of the camera.”

Right Karan, like anyone would even contemplate casting you as a hero. You all must have seen him in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, he was Shah Rukh Khan’s short, tubby friend who he kept whacking on the head. Sweet, hey?

Ok, I’m done for today. Hope you had a great weekend…hope it was better than mine -roll eyes-

Priyanka Chopra, known for her acting and looks, may now be known for her singing too.

None of us have really heard Priyanka sing, unless you watched Bluffmaster, where she sings a few words in the song “Right Here, Right Now”…yeah, basically, thats the only words she sings. I listened to it…I dunno if it really sounds like Priyanka though.

But for all the doubters like me, Priyanka is making her singing debut in a soap ad where she sings abut the beauty of the soap…Umm, I think. “Use this-this soap and you’ll be a beautiful as meeeee.” Hey, then I might buy the soap!

“It’s an interesting concept and it didn’t take much to convince me, as I love singing. But, more than singing, it’s a kind of melodious narration of a poem, with musical background. It’s quite sweet and lovely.”

Oh and by the way, I have a question for you all…am I getting boring? Because certain friends of mine tend to doze of when talking to me, especially certain friends who read this blog! You know who you are!

Good Morning world! Ok, Good morning to those in my hemisphere of the world, it’s almost 2 am and I’m updating just for the pleasure of you guys…and, I couldn’t sleep. I really should not have taken those pills!

So today’s not so top headline is about ex-Mr Could-Have-Been-Aishwarya-Rai. In case you couldn’t work it out and you missed the title, I mean Vivek Oberoi. For his recent movie Shootout at Lokhandwala, Vivek finally dropped his no-smoking clause and lit up on screen as his portrayal of a gangster.

Ok, here’s the thing I don’t get. Vivek works with alot of NGO’s and actively promotes no smoking, but then he sends out the message to kids that it’s OK to smoke because he does it. I mean, I’m not actually suggesting that people listen to Vivek, but the thing is, kids would rather watch his movies any day than read an article about him promoting healthy living. Use some sense Vivek!

Hey, she’s like me! Except my parents are cooler than Tanushree’s, they’re the king and queen of Pakistan. You say that Pakistan isn’t a democracy? Hah, it would be if they let my parents rule.

So Tanushree was brought up in a strict household where she wasn’t even allowed to wear skirts, but started modeling secretly when she moved away from them to continue her studies. Her parents found out but came to terms with it when she won the Miss India pageant. Then she acted in Aashiq Banaya Aapne and her parents almost disowned her for her risque role.

Now her parents have moved to Mumbai, curbing their daughter again, but she’s trying to be a good Indian daughter and accept that what they are doing is for her own good.

I’m so sorry to everyone for the lack of updates over the last two days, but our ISP screwed us…we hate them so much, you all should too!

Anyways, it’s been ages since Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol appeared on screen together, not since Kabhie Khushie Khabie Gham, but both of them have agreed to sign on for Karan Johar’s new film, about an Indian couple after 9/11.

God, this is going to be another shit movie like Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna…Karan Johar must just make fluffy popcorn movies, he isn’t cut out to be a serious director. But I guess there’s no harm in trying…I mean, I’m trying to be a normal girl even though I have superpowers. True, I keep setting alight all the girls that piss me off, but I’m controlling myself!

Oh and hey, we’ll be updating the whole day today and tomorrow, so keep coming back.

Yeah, it’s sad, I know. The Kings of Bollywood are reduced to doing cameos in 2-bit films.

Ok, I’m just being bitter, it’ll take a while for the Kings to fall but until then, if you can’t watch a movie starring them, then go watch Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (beat to beat…or turn to turn? Hindi is hard to translate!). The two will be doing cameo’s, and even though Shah Rukh’s role is being kept under wraps, it has been reported that Amitabh Bachchan will perform wearing a multi-coloured trench coat, with a hat covered with beads, feathers and other junk.

Seriously, what’s going on here. It’s like Amitabh isn’t allowed to play the fatherly roles, he now plays the psychotic pimp-type person with the dress sense of my 8-year-old sister. She loves colourful things and feathers!

You know, you’d think we live in a society where it’s totally OK for gays to get married, but it doesn’t stop people from racially abusing Blacks, Indian’s and any race that isn’t yours. Even the famous ones get dissed.

That’s what happened to Bipasha Basu and Arshad Warsi when they were in London shooting Goal.

Bips says “It was nothing major, but while Arshad and I were shooting, two white guys started rapping some song which poked fun at Indians.

Initially I was a bit shocked; I have never heard such things in my life. But then I thought forget it, time to move on. No point stressing over it.”

When asked what kind of remarks, Vivek says, “John, Bipasha, Arshad and many others used to shoot for long football sequences and that was very ugly. These goras used to pass many remarks about our skin colour, the fact that we are Indians and the superiority complex they had.

There have been times when I have heard racist comments such as ‘Bloody Indian’ and ‘Go back to your country’. However, I have always managed to keep my unit calm enough to never react. I have always told them to concentrate on their work rather than get in to an ugly war of words.”.

I’m sorry you had to go through that Bips and John, you know, since you’re so beautiful, but there’s always stupid people out there.
