SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Well, they can't keep a whole show together on their own, so reports have come out that the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya) will be joined by Madhuri Dixit and at various stages as the 'Unforgettable' show tours, certain guest stars will also participate, including Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor. Madhuri is really looking forward to joining the stars, a source close to her reporting

"For Madhuri, it'd be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there,"

Aw man, now I wish I could see it. Stupid America, it's so far away!

It could be said that the Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol 'jodi' was the best in Bollywood and any filmmaker would pay big bucks to get them back together. Unfortunately, it isn't that easy and it's going to take all of Karan Johar's wiles to get that couple back together for his new movie Khan. And for those of you who don't know, no, it's not the life story of Shah Rukh or a film where people just stand around telling us awesome Shah Rukh is. It's one those serious movies (stop making those Karan!) where SRK will play a Muslim man that is detained on a flight because he's a Muslim...and according to some, that means a terrorist. Kajol says,

"I have not signed the film, but I am discussing it with him. When I sign, I will certainly let everybody know about it,"

Okie, take your time. Why do I have a feeling I'm not going to be left with a fuzzy feeling in my stomach when it's over?

Saif Ali Khan might be losing it. He spent most of the Manish Malhotra fashion show at the Lakme Fashion week, holding onto Kareena Kapoor's hand. I know she's younger than you man, but does she really need a babysitter the whole evening? It was also at Manish's show last year that Kareena and Saif went public with their obsessive relationship. Must mean a lot to them, surviving a whole 6 months. I'm still thinking that they won't make it to one year. Any takers? Thanks to FilmiCafe for the picture...is it just me, or is Saif's Tashan look totally reminiscent of an American hillbilly? or a bad cop mustache gone really wrong?

Good morning all! Hope you had a great, relaxing weekend, because I didn't! Why do I only get a weeks worth of holidays? No fair! Anyways, enough with the complaining, on with the Bollywood. A few of the stories today revolve around the Lakme Fashion Week, where Ranbir Kapoor walked the ramp for the first time. Far from being nervous, he was confident enough to blow a kiss to girlfriend Deepika Padukone, sitting with his mom Neetu Singh. Did he ask Deepika for any advice, since she was a model?

"No, I did not take any tips from Deepika before walking the ramp. I had never walked the ramp before. It was the first time for me but I was quite confident. It proved to be an excellent experience."

And what's with the funny golden face?

"Before I came here I didn't know that my face would be painted golden. Only when I reached the venue and sat on a chair (backstage) to get the make-up done, I got to know about it. But I enjoyed the whole experience."

Is it just me or is Ranbir very chirpy about the show? I hate chirpy people...especially on a Monday!

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd let you know, I'm guest-blogging on another website now. No, I haven't sold out to SoggyCornflakes :-) It's just a fun job which is basically an extension of this one. I'm just a bit funnier there. For my first post, click here. Though it would also be great if you visited the actual website, MovieZen.com. It's a great place for info on movies and actors (English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu), with fun quizzes and whatnot. So I'll keep you updated on posts and you might see some content-links on SC coming from there. Just extra info for you guys (and extra money for me ;-)) Have a great weekend! -Tigger-

As One Two Three hits the theatres, not only is it in direct competition with Race, a few stories are emerging about the female stars in the movie. The stars, Tanissha Mukherjee, Esha Deol, Neetu Chandra and Sameera Reddy apparently had their claws drawn throughout shooting. This animosity has continued to the premiere where the girls continued to ignore each other and vie for attention from the camera's. Male co-star Tusshar Kapoor speaks of the rivalry,

"There was a cold war on. But no crying buckets, stamping of feet or fisticuffs as reported. The girls spoke to one another, but there were issues even if they weren't apparent. I guess, it's the intense competition."

Huh, that's weird, because this movie is the who's who of untalented skanks in Bollywood. Cool, it's true then, all girls have claws, even the ones who don't use them. -Halo pops over Tigger's head-

The 80's actor Mithun Chakraborty is now buying a team in the Indian Cricket League (the not-endorsed league). His team is the Kolkata Tigers, which he wants to change to the Bengal Tigers...um, to represent the whole state. Mithun is paying big moola for it...doesn't make much sense since the teams consist of players that are a)retired or b)don't make the cut in the national team. And guess who owns the IPL version of the Bengal team: Shah Rukh Khan. Mithun doesn't think of competing against him though (what a girl!)

''There is no question of competing with Shah Rukh. He is one of the finest gentlemen I have come across and he gives a lot of respect to his co-stars. Besides, you can't compare our popularity. He is way above me.''

You would expect less ass-kissing from ass-kissing ass-kisser.

So why am I telling you now? I honestly don't know. Unless you live somewhere in Europe or North America, this doesn't concern you. The group contains the Bachchans, Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya, with tag-alongs Ritesh Deshmukh and Lara Dutta. Now you know this is just a huge publicity stunt for the Bachchans, showing off their "simple, happy family even though we're so rich". For those who wanna see them, it kicks off in Toronto and will continue for two months through Europe and America. Yippee?

And the first post of the day shows my extreme laziness...it's almost the weekend and my holidays are almost over, what do you expect besides extreme lethargy? So while you wait (yeah, right) for me to carry on updating, check out Hrithik Roshan dancing in a promo for Krazzy 4. Typical Hrithik moves. More later.

Huh, Bollywood is still following in Hollywood's footsteps, now with little kid actors who think they're all that and a packet of Lays. While most kid actors in the industry suck like really bad, Darsheel Safary (the kid from Taare Zameen Par) was kinda passable, as far as acting goes. But don't hold your breath because I doubt you'll be seeing him on-screen again, not with the exorbitant salary he's asking for. The little squirt that hasn't grown into his teeth yet is asking for 75 lakh rupees (7.5 million rupees) for his next movie and an unnamed director says,

"I think he can't digest the success of Taare Zameen Par. I think his nomination for the best actor award is another reason. Who will give him 75 lakh? Can he give another TZP? That is impossible. Now, it's become a fashion in Bollywood – give one hit, and increase your price."

And we all know that that movie was a hit because of Aamir Khan... Place your bets people, do you think directors will pay his price or will Darsheel be a parasite one-hit actor?
