Shilpa Shetty

Aaah, cappuccino, now I feel more awake. Well, slightly more awake. At least I stopped dozing and drooling on the keyboard.

Shilpa Shetty was recently in Miami to shoot a “special” song with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Is ’special song’ the new phrase for ‘item song’ to placate all those ‘classy’ actresses who do them. “No, no, you’re not an item girl, you’re a special girl!” Sounds like something Barney would say.

The new film by Karan Johar, Dostana, is now filming with Priyanka Chopra as the leading lady. I can’t really find a synopsis of the movie but I know it’s a comedy and it involves friendships. How shockingly original.

The bigger story here is that Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan was cast as the leading lady but pulled out because she was unwilling to have two male co-stars competing for her affections, especially since her affections all belong to her husband. Aww, how sweet -puke-

“Now that Abhishek and I are married the kind of quirky situations shown in Dostana, albeit in a comic vein, wouldn’t have worked,”

“Karan Johar wasn’t bothered with all these personal considerations. But I felt otherwise. I thought the audience would wonder, ‘She likes John and Abhishek equally? No way!’,”

Well, since the movie is set in a world where Abhishek has the same hotness ranking as John, anything can happen.

Update: Dostana is the remake of I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry.
