Yes, that was obviously inflammatory but people always told me that if I can't say something nice, then I mustn't say anything at all. But then I realised I'd have to stay quiet, so what's the point?
He recently gave an interview talking loads of his usual crap, but the part that made me laugh hardest and have Pepsi drip from my nose (yes, I know it's disgusting, but natural when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan) was:
''No not at all. I am Shah Rukh Khan. I am a superstar in this country. People have loved me so much. Also, I am a complete promoter of the fact that if you have to ask am I a Muslim in a Hindu country, then I am not secular enough. I never asked myself that because I was never built like that.''
And this was in response to the question whether he thought he could identify with the protagonist Kabir from
Chak de India, a Muslim who had to prove that he was Indian. Why didn't he just take out his ID? Big Duh Kabir big duh!
And does Shah Rukh always have to act like he's so humble when we can all see his head is bigger than J-Lo's ass?
Who thought that killing Bambi's mum would still be haunting you 9 years on? But that's what happens when you kill deers, especially the endangered type. Salman Khan was sentenced to 5 years in jail for killing a deer and he hasn't served the sentence...yet. But now he's been in jail for 3 nights (a story that we missed because of our internet problems).
The actor turned himself over to Rajasthan police when he discovered there was a warrant out for his arrest. He was visited by brother Arbaaz, sister Alvira and girlfriend Katrina Kaif yesterday, which might have lifted his spirits a little.
While fans have resorted to praying at a nearby darga (shrine) for his release, his sisters have other concerns and want to tie a rakhi for Salman, whether they do it in jail or outside isn't the issue, they just have to tie that little piece of string to show how much they love their brother. For those who don't surf wikipedia for random things or aren't Hindu, a rakhi is a holy string that is tied by sisters on their brothers, showing a special bond, that obviously is supposed to extend through jail bars. The festival is going to be celebrated tomorrow, so ya, good luck with bailing your brother out, girls.
I'm sure you can wave the strings in front of the guards, it might distract them and Salman can bust out of jail, with his shirt off...obviously.
Big Brother "star", Shilpa Shetty, lost out on her first foreign movie project after her excessive monetary demands. The actress was set to star in the film, Quick, Slip Me A Bride, but arguments over the pay packet and shooting times led to Shilpa beiing given the sack.
Producer Renu Patel says,
"Shilpa agreed to film with us. Now we have been forced to go ahead without her because she wanted GBP350,000 and insisted half of this had to be paid before she even shot any scene.
To make things worse, she then tried to insist we delayed the film until next summer to give her time to pursue a music project instead. It would have made Shetty a lead in her first British-made film and given her the chance to scotch the idea she is merely a failing Bollywood actress."
Harsh but fair. Where does Shilpa get the gall to make demands like this, being a C-List actress and all? The only thing she's famous for is being abused by a fat chav on a TV Show designed for C-List celebs. Boo Hoo, cry me a (bleep)ing river.
I've been abused by fat chavs myself. I didn't cry and ask to be on national television... I killed them. One by One. There's three left now... you know who you are... I'm coming for you...
Seeing that Bollywood is filled with so much intelligence, it seems natural that geniuses like Tulip Joshi will look down on the common fat folk. What with her cinematic classics like Dil Maange More and Mere Yaar ki Shaadi hai, and the fact that she invented a new religion in which she speaks to dead people, I would be ashamed if she didn't think of fatties as lower life forms.
Anyway, here's a recent interview with Ms. Joshi,
Brawny people are mostly dumb: Tulip Joshi
Q: How is your ideal man like?
A. What he is, nothing more and nothing less. I don’t believe in making assumptions.
Q: What are the must have qualities in your man?
A- Honesty. I can't tolerate lies and deceit.
Q: He should be from Bollywood or from outside?
A- Does that really matter? Till the time he loves me, it’s ok if he is into business, job or anything else. (Laughs) Maybe I am saying all this because he is from outside the film industry and we are very happy together.
Q: If you had to choose between brainy and brawny, which would it be and why?
A-Definitely brainy because its only the brain which makes one successful. Brawny people are mostly dumb.
Q: You would go for inner or outer beauty?
A- Spiritual. I am heavily into spirituality and that’s’ what would work for me.
Q: Is a sense of humour a must?
A- Yeah it is. This is what makes him unique. He rocks because of his amazing ability to make others laugh.
Q: How much is the importance of calls and SMSs in our relationship:
A-It’s an essential part in our lives. In other words, it’s a must. How can a relationship survive without proper communication?
Q- What would be the next level of your relationship like?
A- That’s secondary for me at the moment. I am into a serious committed relationship right now and so marriage and the next level, whatever that may mean, is not at all important for me.
Q: Your take on metro-sexuality?
A-I don’t mind him being metro-sexual. Unlike others, I would not say they (metro-sexual men) are sissy.
Q: What would your most romantic getaway with him?
A- It has to be Venice. It’s so beautiful.
I'd like to apologize to our readers for not updating, over the last 2 days...
We had some internet problems (as well as laziness syndrome from one of the writers... I won't say which... but it wasn't the one with internet problems)... But now we're back! And we'll be updating this weekend!
Aren't you lucky? I mean, not everyone will take time out of a busy schedule, of sleeping and sitting on the couch in my shorts, to bring you the news (read: tabloid trash).
Let's High-Five! High-Five!
And why wouldn't they distract a hot-blooded, heterosexual man? Obviously half-naked girls, even though they're sex workers, would totally put off someone from work.
While shooting for his new movie Aggar (If only) in Bangkok, he was supposed to be acting in a sad song, where you wee supposed to see how pensive he was...but it's hard being pensive when you have prostitutes screaming and trying to get your attention...Hmmm, I wonder how a hooker would get someone's attention...they're basically already out there.
Tusshar was so distracted by the ladies of the night (well, not anymore) that he considered calling shooting off for the day (how very professional) but somehow he got through it. Before inviting some of the hookers to distract him in private...just joking!
You know how you find celebrities on MySpace (the attention whores), Facebook is quickly taking over, ensuring that you can meet new people and hang with your friends, but your profile isn't open to the millions of losers...ahem, I mean, users of MySpace. While some celebrities know about fake accounts on Facebook (people posing to be them), some are still working out what the internet is.
Shilpa Shetty and Shiney Ahuja are those kind and they have no idea that people people pretend to be them on Facebook.
Dale some-surname, their publicist, says:
"Some other people have registered themselves with the actors' names and have uploaded their pictures.
While Shiney is unaware of the forum, Shilpa has never been interested in it, though her sister Shamita does have an account on it,"
"It's dangerous as most surfers might think they are chatting with the real Shiney Ahuja or Shilpa Shetty. What the impersonators say can even harm the image and reputation of the actors,"
Aw C'mon, no idiot is going to believe that it's really them there. Celebrities don't lower themselves to come on social networking sites, unless they're Britney Spears or Paris Hilton and will use anything for some free publicity. Though I do know that Cesc is on there...he spoke to me! He spoke to me...
Big Brother star, Shilpa Shetty, is set to star in Hanuman, in the role of Sita. A damsel-in-distress who is taken hostage by a demon king triggering a chain of events that lead to a gory battle.
Keanu Reeves has reportedly been approached for the film.
...
This movie sounds suspiciously like another movie I saw. I think it was called The Lord of the Rings, maybe you've heard of it? In it a wizard known as Gandalf (Played by Ian McKellen) is taken hostage, by an (apparently homophobic) wizard known as Saruman who holds him hostage which triggers a chain of events that leads to a gruesome battle.
Ohmigod! COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!
... or not. Whatever.
Ram Gopal Varma, who is widely considered to be one of India's best directors, is reportedly interested in making an erotic film.
Varma, who's latest release (Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag) is set to hit theaters tells Reuters,
"I think I can capture the subject through my camera, I would love to direct an erotic film someday."
When asked whether Indian audiences are ready for such a show, Varma said
"I honestly don't care about it,"
Yes. That's obviously the best way to work in an industry that is only concerned with money... Don't give a damn about your audience. Well... that and burning down cinema's during movies.
I hail you Mr. Varma!
Bollywood's biggest star, Shah Rukh Khan, has been accused of promoting racism by endorsing a fairness cream. Television commercials for Fair and Handsome, airing in August, show Shah Rukh, lauding a product that many see as entrenching discrimination based on skin colour by encouraging people to bleach themselves a lighter hue.
Shailaja Bajpai, a columnist in the Indian Express asks,
“When the reigning star of Hindi cinema publicly endorses a cream that openly advocates fairness, lightness of skin, as desirable, nay necessary, it is a damn bad show. How could he do it?”
The ad shows Shah Rukh telling some guy that he should stop using female fairness cream and start using "Fair and Handsome fairness cream... for men". Than after he uses mens fairness cream he becomes white, and hot chicks nominate themselves as contenders to be felt up by his fair arms. Oh yes they do.
If I was in the ad, I would've kicked the loser in his nuts and told him to stop hitting on chicks. I'd say, "You use cream... that makes you gay... so you have to hit on guys". Than we'd all do a Bollywood dance sequence and everyone would be happy especially the gay guy because he's found his true calling. Yay for me!
Here's the video, in case you haven't had enough of Shah Rukh hamming it,
Yes, that was obviously inflammatory but people always told me that if I can't say something nice, then I mustn't say anything at all. But then I realised I'd have to stay quiet, so what's the point?
