SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

Apparently Kareena Kapoor's stick figure has drawn the attention of Hollywood agents, and hopefully she'll leave Bollywood, never to return. Now I know why Friday is always a good day!

While shooting for her new movie with Sylvester Stallone, he apparently raved over her figure and acting prowess and this attention has brought Hollywood agents coming in to check her out. Whatever. See, told you I just can't be bothered so late.

When asked about an impeding Hollywood breakthrough, she says,

"It’s the right time for Bollywood with so many avenues and doors opening up on a global scale. The possibilities are immense. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed."

Also, the Kambakht Ishq actress is also opening a yoga school somewhere in India. Apparently she's roped in sister Karisma Kapoor to help with all the donkey work while she gets the credit.

Ah, loving sisters.

I think it might have to do with the size of the premiere. Guess who decided that his own premiere wasn't the place to be? Yeah, Love Story 2050 actor Harman Baweja. Guess which movie had a dhoom-dhaam premiere? Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

Coincidence? you decide. Read the whole story here!

This is going to be very entertaining. Zee TV is either getting rather desperate or they're brave pioneers stepping into unknown territories. That new territory is Rakhi Sawant. Zee have reportedly given the Buddha Mar Gaya actress her own talk show. The show, called "Rakhi Ka Phone Aaya Hai" (There's a phone call for Rakhi/Rakhi has called in...yeah, I get confused since the title can be interpreted both ways) is supposed to be a talk show similar to "Koffee with Karan", where Rakhi will interview celebrities and talk about films, sports, politics and whatever she feels like. Like I said, this is gonna be fun...though I will bet anyone good money that she won't be able to drag one A-lister onto that show.

Isn't it horrible when you hear or see a guy lifting his hand on a girl? It doesn't make it any better when it's a celebrity either, shown when Sonal Chauhan ran into an old boyfriend/friend at the airport and he slapped the Jannat actress. That totally wouldn't have happened if Emraan Hashmi was around... Read the full story here.

I've run out of stories! Man, today is a really hard day to write. Oh well, let's discuss an upcoming Bollywood movie that looks really cute and is totally my style: Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (A Little love, a little magic) which stars Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee. Amisha Patel plays a supporting role. So here's the story. Saif is a loner, sad industrialists (what's up with sad, loner industrialists? We've seen that avatar before in Jab We Met!) who weirdly enough, is told that he has to look after for orphan kids, who obviously hate his guts. He's totally lost on how to deal with them and Mary Poppins/Nanny McPhee lands from somewhere in the heavens to fix things. And obviously Saif's character is going to fall in love with Rani's. How predictable...and yet, I'm totally gonna go watch this movie when it comes out. Whoohoo for fluffy happy endings!

Heehee, isn't that a cool picture? I love the net, there are so many ways you can make fun of people. Most of you must have heard that Mimoh Chakraborty (son of Mithun Chakraborty) has been a huge failure in his debut movie Jimmy. The movie was slammed with reviews that look something like this:

Mimoh voice sounds girlish. His styling has gone all wrong. His dancing is the only saving grace but the songs have been badly shot. He needs to work very hard on his diction too. His co-star Vivana needs a crash course in acting. The rest of the cast isn't worth a mention. To sum things up, Jimmy is one of the worst movies in recent times.

Ouch! So it's kinda understandable that his already-shot next movie is not making a big fuss over the fact that Mimoh is in it. The source reports,

"Producer Salim had planned to release The Murderer before Jimmy on January 25, 2008 along with Hrithik Roshan's Jodhaa-Akbar. But Mimoh's dad Mithun Chakraborty did not like it. He wanted Jimmy to release first and had requested them to hold on The Murderer for a later release date" "The producers had also planned their publicity material and they were banking on Mithun's son being the crowd puller. The earlier publicity material said, 'Watch out for Mithun Chakraborty's son Mimoh in The Murderer.' But after the failure of Jimmy, the producers have changed their mind. The new promos read 'The makers of Loha, Batwara, Qayamat, Jigar, Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Baazi, Raja Ki Aayegi Baarat and Badal - all Silver Jubilee hits, are ready with their next block buster The Murderer'. They are worried that Mimoh will no longer attract the audience since his debut venture failed miserably. They are trying to pull the audience with the names of their Silver Jubilee hit films instead."

Honestly, how was Mimoh supposed to make it in Bollywood? He looks like Tarzan...Bollywood is more into Prince Charmings.

Have you ever heard of anything as audacious as movie a few cricketers out of a 5-star hotel and into a 4-star one? Well, Preity Zinta insists that she didn't do that when her 'Kings XI Punjab' team accused the Kal ho Na Hoo star of discrimination. Well, since she's the boss, the players better live with it or it's Salaam Namaste for them...Ok, that was a bad pun. Read about it here...along with more terrible puns.

Well, he might be, I just don't have the full story. Neil Nitin Mukesh recently had a close encounter. No, not one of those encounters when aliens come and suck up your body to do experiments, but the close, he-could-have-died kind of encounter. The Johnny Gaddaar star was shooting for his new movie Freeze which also includes Bipasha Basu. One scene involves a car racing towards a rickshaw in which sat Neil, and it's supposed to stop inches from the rickshaw. The scene could have gone terribly wrong when the driver of the car had some problems with the brakes and ploughed into Neil's rickshaw. Luckily, Neil and the rickshaw driver guy had the brains and reflexes to jump out of the rickshaw before being turned into filmi kid mush.
