SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

I never really thought of Bollywood actors as computer ners but there's always an exception to any rule and in this case, it is Dino Morea. Apparently, the actor loves anything with wires and loves having all the latest gadgets. He has an iPod (everyone has an iPod) and an iPhone and he recently bought himself a Macbook Air. Is it just me or is he a big supporter of Apple products? Dino was showing off about his ultra-thin laptop,

"It is unbelievable how light in weight it is...it has all the features that I always wanted and which are really exciting to learn and explore, especially with its track-pad."

Oh well, boys will be boys and I guess everyone loves having a new toy. Dino seems to love it a bit too much for comfort,

"It's just amazing, it has become like my girlfriend,"

And there speaks Dino the nerd. I'm sure the wireless capabilities will be really appreciated by Dino, who'll be able to surf porn in the comfort of his bed.

Guys, today I have loads of work, so unfortunately, there'll just be a few quick updates and I'm out of here for the day. Today's Lara Dutta's birthday...she turns...old? But Lara has loads of stuff happening, that a birthday is just another day to celebrate. Lara will acting with Shah Rukh Khan in Billoo Barber and the remake of Devdas later on in the year...wait, aren't they already making that with Abhay Deol? I'm confused. In response to reports that Lara is dating Dino Morea, she insists that her true love story involves her and a cup off coffee.

“No, I and Dino are not in a relationship,” “Dino is a good friend of both me and Kelly. We used to hang out together. I am very fond of him and that’s it.”

And the coffee? Lara has become a fan of Gloria Jean's Coffee...but apparently, she isn't the brand ambassador so why does she keep going on about how great it is? See, this is what happens when you get old...a cup of coffee is now fascinating!

A nice confusing headline to start a Monday. Buzz18 reports:

It seems one of my favourite bubbly actresses has been two-timing her beau.

Wow, whoever could this bubbly actress be? How many bubbly actresses are there in Bollywood?

Even as I shook my head in disbelief, my source insisted, the actress who has been in the news recently for non-film related stuff, has been enjoying her share of quiet one-nighters with a not-so-happening actor.

Hmmm, not film stuff? Maybe something to do with cricket...or TV...or both! -Shock- The failing/failed actor is slightly harder, since most C-list actors are in that list.

All this, behind her beau's back, who, again has a knack for being in the news for various reasons.

Why is he famous? For being a successful businessman, dating a Bollywood actress or being the great-grandson of one of the guys who shaped the subcontinent?

So, who is this privileged actor you ask? Well, he is the same guy who has been linked to another leggy actress, who recently broke up with her long-time boyfriend and live-in partner.

Pssst, Dino Morea was recently linked to Lara Dutta. And now it's all out. Disclaimer: This story is a rumour and should be accepted as one or as a work of fiction, if you will.

A nice easy post this one is...Happy Valentine's Day everyone...since I don't believe in the commercial holiday, which is nothing more than an excuse to make guy's feel guilty, girls feel stupid and everyone wastes money on tacky teddy bears and plastic roses. Love is not this but let's see how Bollywood will be spending it's day...

Aishwarya Rai: "I'll be attending the premiere of Jodha-Akbar in Delhi on Valentine's Day. But Abhishek will be with me. So no complaints. Every day is a simple day and every day is a celebration.

Since its Diwali and the majority of our readers are celebrating, I'm taking it easy. So let's hear what the stars are doing for their Diwali's...I mean, what they're giving and receiving:

Bipasha Basu: "What would I like for Diwali? I'd like people to come and see John and me in Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. It's really turned out well. As for me, I want to see people around me smiling. I'll make sure I don't give anyone any reason to frown this Diwali." Ranbir Kapoor: "Since Diwali coincides with the release of Saawariya what better gift to mankind than my debut film (grins). For myself I want Saawariya to be the grand success that it deserves to be. More immediately I wouldn't mind loads of clothes and new new phone this Diwali (the one I just bought is troubling me). Suniel Shetty: "I want to gift good health and comfortable space to those who are associated with me personally. I want to create more wellness in the country and I'd like to build health centers. Me? I already have everything. Bahut diya dene wale ne mujhko. Iqbal Khan: "I won't be working on Diwali, and that's the best gift I can give myself and my wife. Besides that I'll pray to God to give me loads of happiness. I'd like to wish the same for all the people who matter to me. Insha Allah. Lilette Dubey: "I'd love to gift all those people who work for me with something they really need and send something to some charity associations as well. Me? I'd love to get a small alpha romeo ha ha…" Shilpa Shetty: "On Saturday it was my first show of Miss Bollywood in England. All shows here are full. What better Diwali gift can I hope for? If I can familiarize even a fraction of the western world with Bollywood I've gotten the best gift I could hope for. Suneel Darshan: "The two scripts that I'm currently writing are my humble gifts to myself. Hopefuly the love and acceptance that these two films will get would be the gift that I get from them. Arshad Warsi: "The only Diwali gift I want is for my films to do well. As for my friends and family, they can have whatever they like. Jaan haazir hai. Nandana Sen: "The one gift that I'd like to give and receive this Diwali is more time to spend with my mother." Randeep Hooda: "Love, love and love. That's what I need for Diwali and that's what I need to give also. And why only for Diwali? I need it for Holi, Christmas and Eid as well. Any takers? Koena Mitra: "I've got special Ganeshji pendants made for my friends and staff. I'll send these with mithai. I love candles and can't receive enough of them. I love giving and getting gifts during Diwali. In fact I got lots of gifts this Diwali and didn't mind at all (wink). But please, no sweets for me! Amrita Arora: "I'll be gifting my dad a laptop for Diwali. I don't know what I'll be getting, though." Priyanka Chopra: "My family and I are supposed to move into our new home. Unfortuately the home couldn't be ready on Diwali. But we'll be moving by month-end and that's Diwali gift enough for us. Jahan pe basera ho diwali wohi hain Mahesh Bhatt: "I'd love to gift my wife Soni Razdan a script this Diwali.She's directing a film for UTV and I'm working on the script. And I want EMI to gift me with a hat-trick of hits for our production house. Sophie Chowdhary: "I just bought my dream home. So now two things remain. My dream role and, even tougher, my dream man. Anyone wants to gift me that? As for giving I believe in giving as good as I get. Dino Morea: "Without meaning to sound righteous, I'd like to gift a poor family something to make this Diwali brighter."

Sweet.

Though that doesn't mean that you won't be seeing Dino Morea on screen anymore. Oh no, like anything that good could ever happen. The actor is branching out in different things though and has opened his own production house, which at the moment...isn't doing so great.

"Now I'm in partnership for Clockwork with my younger brother Santino. On 25 and 26 August we're shooting our first film. It's actually a multi-starrer featuring Karan Johar and Kareena Kapoor. Can't start any higher than that can I?"

The main question is, could you get any lower? And you know what this brilliant production is going to be? An ad about paint! Oh well, Dino says they will move on to bigger and better things. There's nothing shameful about shooting paint ads, just like there's nothing shameful about me singing in public. Actually, that is shameful...be ashamed Dino Morea!

It's always charming when two D-List (No negotiation) "stars" hang out with each other. It's like, a fairy tale. Except replace the prince and princess with failed actors. That's what happened yesterday as Sienna Miller apparently danced up a storm with Dino Morea. Morea said,

“She’s a fabulous girl, lots of fun to be with. “She’s a foodie and loves Indian cuisine, especially chicken tikka masala.”.

You know, I read this story on Sky's showbiz website... and they described Dino as a "hunk"... And... I just don't get the appeal. Like sure, if the chick is a World of Warcraft fan and likes being with trolls than yeah... cool. But a normal chick? I don't see it man... I don't see nuffink!

Aw man, who doesn't love Saif Ali Khan? Apparently Bipasha Basu. I kinda liked Bipasha, but it seems that she's turning into a rumour-mongering starlet. With boyfriend John Abraham out of town, Bipasha keeps tongues wagging with little slips here and there. Recently in an interview, Bips said that if she wasn't with John, she probably would have been attracted to Saif and lo and behold, she and Saif are co-stars in Race. Then Bips attended a recent fashion event with ex-boyfriend Dino Morea. More rumours that Bipasha just brushes off, but does she really want the publicity? She has a don't-care attitude but c'mon, going out with your ex while your current flame is out of town? Na-uh, so not good...unless you want the attention.

Dino Morea, the sometimes hunk and alleged best kisser in Bollywood, decided that the only way to add authenticity to a scene in his new movie Life Mein Kabhi Kabhie (Sometimes in Life) where his character is drunk, is to get a bit tipsy himself. So before the scene, Dino had two drinks, which allowed him to sway convincingly, but still remember his lines. He isn’t the first actor who’s done so for his art, both Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have gotten drunk for a role, Aamir in Raja Hindustani and SRK for Devdas. You know what I have to say to this? Bad Bad Bad actors, well, the Muslim one’s anyways, they should be ashamed! Next time SRK talks about representing to goodness of Islam, I’m going to tell him exactly where he can put his goodness. There, my rant is over, I’m going to go get happy on chocolate, believe me, there’s nothing like the high that those things send you on…Phweeeeep! Right up!
