If Vivek Oberoi thought his days of being connected to Aishwarya Rai were over, boy, was he wrong.

Asihwarya will now be acting in a new Hollywood film Singularity and while actors Brendan Fraser and Vivek were connected to it, in all likelihood, Vivek won’t be in the cast because of his previous involvement with the new Mrs Abhishek Bachchan.

I feel sorry for the poor guy…first being a breakthrough star, then dating a Miss World…now he’s reduced to being an almost-been and his ex-girlfriend is making him lose jobs! That’s tough!

Good Morning world! Ok, Good morning to those in my hemisphere of the world, it’s almost 2 am and I’m updating just for the pleasure of you guys…and, I couldn’t sleep. I really should not have taken those pills!

So today’s not so top headline is about ex-Mr Could-Have-Been-Aishwarya-Rai. In case you couldn’t work it out and you missed the title, I mean Vivek Oberoi. For his recent movie Shootout at Lokhandwala, Vivek finally dropped his no-smoking clause and lit up on screen as his portrayal of a gangster.

Ok, here’s the thing I don’t get. Vivek works with alot of NGO’s and actively promotes no smoking, but then he sends out the message to kids that it’s OK to smoke because he does it. I mean, I’m not actually suggesting that people listen to Vivek, but the thing is, kids would rather watch his movies any day than read an article about him promoting healthy living. Use some sense Vivek!

You know, you’d think we live in a society where it’s totally OK for gays to get married, but it doesn’t stop people from racially abusing Blacks, Indian’s and any race that isn’t yours. Even the famous ones get dissed.

That’s what happened to Bipasha Basu and Arshad Warsi when they were in London shooting Goal.

Bips says “It was nothing major, but while Arshad and I were shooting, two white guys started rapping some song which poked fun at Indians.

Initially I was a bit shocked; I have never heard such things in my life. But then I thought forget it, time to move on. No point stressing over it.”

When asked what kind of remarks, Vivek says, “John, Bipasha, Arshad and many others used to shoot for long football sequences and that was very ugly. These goras used to pass many remarks about our skin colour, the fact that we are Indians and the superiority complex they had.

There have been times when I have heard racist comments such as ‘Bloody Indian’ and ‘Go back to your country’. However, I have always managed to keep my unit calm enough to never react. I have always told them to concentrate on their work rather than get in to an ugly war of words.”.

I’m sorry you had to go through that Bips and John, you know, since you’re so beautiful, but there’s always stupid people out there.

You know, some people think that being as thin as possible is great, and Bollywood and Hollywood both promote this idea. You know what I say? Screw them! Being healthy is more important than being thin…but I don’t know how many actresses out there are really thin and how many have been sucked to thinness.

Here’s an interview with Neha Dhupia, quite interesting, I’m just quoting the bits I wanna make fun off, you’re welcome to click the link and read the rest:

You were surrounded by many good-looking men in this film- Mr Bachchan, Sanjay, Suniel, Vivek, Abhishek, Arbaaz, Tusshar, Shabbir, Rohit…
(Interrupts) Oh come on, I have never ogled at my co-actors.

All these dudes are average looking or worse, what is wrong with you Neha?

You have lost lots of weight. Iska raaz kya hai?
Iska raaz yeh hai that I have started doing yoga regularly and become serious about my workouts. There was a long time in betweem when I was not regular with my exercise regimen.

I work out on an empty stomach, with Deane Pandey (who also trains Preity Zinta and Lara Dutta) at Joggers Park and the beach. And yes, I stay away from chocolates, pastries and aerated drinks.

I don’t take any carbohydrates after sunset. The two vices which increase weight are not my wish list anyway; I don’t smoke and I don’t drink. I wish I could still lose some more kilos.

Liposuction alert!

Yes people, you heard it here first (well, second if you read Times of India). The hottest actors in Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi and Kim Sharma are apparently together! Oh my God! I don’t understand why more people aren’t writing about this! I mean, this news is HUGE! It’s almost as good as Aishwarya and Abhishek getting married! It might even be bigger news than that!

Th two were seen canoodling on a Delhi-Mumbai flight, sucking face like only people who seek attention can. Vivek hasn’t had much of a career since being dumped by Ash and Kim never really had a career, so I’d say those two are perfect for each other! Though last I heard, Kim was supposed to be dating cricketer Yuvraj Singh, but after India’s performance at the World Cup, who can blame her for being a bit embarrassed to be seen with him?

I don’t know what the Bachchan’s and Rai’s are doing, but they might be trying to make their kid’s weddings as uncomfortable as possible. Aishwarya’s old flame, Salman Khan has been invited to the wedding, though there are no reports of Vivek Oberoi or Karisma Kapoor having received royal invitations.

You know what I think? Abhishek Bachchan won the genetic lottery…he’s not good-looking, he’s just tall and most importantly, he’s a Bachchan. His Mom wanted him to marry Preity, his dad wanted him to marry Rani and he still ended up with a Miss World. Yay for him. Since the wedding is supposed to be a private affair with close friends and family only, I wonder where Salman stands…
