Which is really kinda stupid. If you're angry, then you slam doors, scream and disappear, not sulk outside a building waiting for people to apologize to you.

Preity Zinta was recently dubbing for her new film, Har Pall, and while at the studio, some smart-ass producers son questioned whether Preity had any real talent. Preity was not impressed and stormed out of the building. She did not leave however and hung around in the garden for 2 hours until director Jahnu Barua came to apologise.

She then eventually went back in to complete the days dubbing. All I have to say is, if you're going to act like a diva, do it properly!

The movie itself is set to be released later this year and also stars Shiney Ahuja and Isha Koppikar.

Maybe I should start calling Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan the 3 A's or AAA. Ok, I'm calling them AAA from right now and I'm copyrighting the phrase. Yesterday morning, while most of us were still warm in bed, the AAA's took a walk...a long walk...a four hour walk...a bare-footed walk...across Mumbai to visit the Siddhivinayak temple. I'm not exactly sure what was the purpose of the walk, although it's not for the success of Sarkar Raj. Amitabh Bachchan writes on his blog,

The walk last night or rather early this morning to SiddhiVinayak was fulfilling. Walking bare foot has its own hazards but where there is faith and resolve, obstacles seem to dwindle away. The tar roads, still warm from the aggressive sun in the day are fairly comfortable but the cobbled portions due to its uneveness causes some discomfort. The people were lovely. They come around, hundreds of them all walking in the same direction towards a common goal. There is excitement among them and smiles and a certain decorum. Intermittently, shouts of ‘Ganpati Bappa’ break the general silence. And the entire mass of people join in in unison -’Morya !’

Even I have to say, his post conveys a whole range of spiritual feeling. Read it, it sounds good. And basically, he did that whole walk because he wanted to thank God... In other AAA news, the 'Unforgettable Tour' is kicking off on the 18th of July and no, there is no Shahid Kapoor involved, but Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta and Madhuri Dixit will participate. Abhishek talks about the tour,

"Aishwarya will be performing on some of her most popular numbers, including on the 'Dola re..' number from 'Devdas' with Madhuri Dixit. I am particularly thrilled about performing on the item number 'Kajra re' from 'Bunty Aur Babli' with my dad and Aishwarya,"

And finally, the stories about the Bachchan and Khan rift continues, as Karan Johar celebrated his birthday a few days ago, inviting both the Bachchan's and the Khan's. Big A and Jaya didn't attend, but Abhi-Ash were around. But Ash refused to acknowledge Shah Rukh Khan and made her own little group in the corner, didn't circulate and Karan had to keep running from one place to another trying to be a good host... Poor guy, and it's pathetic how supposed "big stars" act like petulant kids.

It can't be easy being Preity Zinta now a days. Your players are getting slapped about, your team's not that great and your boyfriend just kicked you out of his car in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, you heard it, Preity's boyfriend Ness Wadia kicked her out in the scorching Chandigarh heat to fend for herself the best she could and the Veer-Zaara actress was left on the road singing "Khabhi Alvida na Kehna..." Hehe, ok, that was bad, even for me but read the whole story here!

If you follow IPL cricket, you'll know that there was a little scandal going on involving Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh. Apparently, Harbhajan went around talking and congratulating team-mates. When he reached Sreesanth, he just slapped him nonchalantly and then moved on to hug the next man. I don't know if Sreesanth reacted there and then but at the end of the match, he went around sobbing like a girl. Wait, that would be an insult to girls...he just sobbed in a disgraceful manner that was actually quite entertaining to watch (yes, I don't have a heart). Unfortunately there was only one video taken of the cool event and it didn't make it onto YouTube, since it's owned by Sony. And even though Sreesanth didn't press charges and Harbhajan apologised to him, the video was made available to Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia (owners of Kings XI Punjab) and Sreesanth. It is reported that they had some trouble controlling their laughter...hehehe, well, that's what I'd assume. A grown man getting slapped by another? That's classic comedy!

Guess what? Until now, the World Tour is still the 'Bachchan' tour as actors have been signing up...and pulling out ac quickly as possible. Last time we heard, Akshay Kumar had some difficulty with dates...he's out, maybe...unless they pay him more. Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor would rather not see each other's faces on the same stage and they're out too. Lara Dutta wasn't interested in competing with Ash and skipped out. Bipasha Basu apparently has a hefty price-tag and you've guessed it, she's out too. I wonder if there's a record for how many times you can write "out" in a paragraph. While the concept of family togetherness is great, I don't think that's what the world tour is about...organisers are still looking for the actress that can play second fiddle to Aishwarya Rai and have decided on Preity Zinta. Hmmm, I guess when you're unemployed (Preity isn't doing any movies at the moment, is she?) even prancing on stage sounds like fun. And I'm out of here for today...more tomorrow!

Now surely when your own bodyguard elbows you in the eye, then there must be something wrong. Preity Zinta, how do you really treat the hired help? Nah, I’m just messing with the story. Apparently when Preity was at the Indian Premier League (IPL) launch, a spectator thought it would be funny to chuck something at her. Her bodyguard though, playing his role perfectly, lunged to save her from the flying object. In an un-bodyguard manner, he managed to poke her in the eye with his elbow, leaving Preity very sore and in serious need of a pair of sunglasses.

"I don't know how it happened," "But in the melee at the launch, an elbow came and hit me straight in the eye. I had to go through the event with a black eye wearing dark glasses." "It will swell a bit. I guess it's bound to happen when one is in such situations,"

Or when you don’t pay your bodyguards enough. Could that have been a deliberate eye-poke? Dun-dun-dun…stay tuned for more. Actually, don’t, I’m done for the day. Toodles all.

Ah, one of those slow news days where I have to resort to cricket to eke out any Bollywood news. Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, both big owners of their Indian Premier League teams are trying to garner support...Bollywood-style. Well, Shah Rukh is pulling Bipasha Basu and Rani Mukherji into his promo video and reports suggest that Preity was trying to get Sunny and Bobby Deol with dad Dharmendra. She denies this though (good choice, who'd want to support a team with the Deol's as spokespersons?) and insists that she'll let her cricketers speak for themselves.

"The playing field when the matches start in April will be filled with star-cricketers. That takes care of the glam-element. As for the music video we feel it should represent the earthy feel of Punjab and Chandigarh. We feel we can't capture the flamboyant and vigorous flavour of if we bring in film stars into the video."

Ouch SRK, she dissed you! And that's it for today...until tomorrow.

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.

Yay...and I think you should all know, I'm dating Shahid Kapoor!

There’s a lack of interesting news stories today…so finally dudes and dudettes, I present Preity Zinta, the new ambassador for National Geographic India.

Preity, a Tsunami survivor known for her pluck in real life, appears in a National Geographic promotional for their new series Trapped. Presented by Godfrey Philips, the TV series will chronicle the most remarkable rescue and survival stories of people who choose life over death and will air every Monday at 10 PM starting March 3.

Apologies for the boring posts today, might update more if I find anything interesting, but for now. Namaste and Allah Hafiz, have a great weekend everyone.

At the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) auction in Mumbai, most stars, including Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, turned out to bid on their favourite cricket players. Others attending were actress Preity Zinta (who hasn't been in the news for ages) and boyfriend Ness Wadia. The two lovebirds spent a pretty 40 crore (400 million) rupees on players including Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene, Sri Lankan wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara, Australian fast bowler Brett Lee and India's Irrfan Pathan for their Mohali team while Shah Rukh owns the Culcatta team. Wow...maybe Preity should have spent that on more surgery? At 33, she's looking older than her age. Gravity is cruel, hey?
