Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood babes are always fighting it out to come into the limelight when international events are concerned. Aishwarya, whom the glam world is about to forget and better suited as the Bacchan Bahu is struggling every time she confronts her younger counterparts.

After loosing it to Katrina and Sonam Kapoor, where she was replaced by both these beauties in some leading brands, she now looses it to the 5ft 11inch hot Deepika Padukone at the Cannes where the Boolywood battles have gone international in the true sense. Never mind if not for the right reasons…!!!

Aishwarya feels threatened with the recent interest of Woody Allen, a well recognized director, in Deepika Padukone after she sported the complete desi look with a white sari complementing her figure designed by Rohit Bahl at the Cannes where Ash went for the western look with a gown.

Earlier, the two had a fight about the best dressed and now grabbing attention at the Cannes. As an advice to Ash she should now retire and try to become a good bahu and follow the family tradition…

Kareena pairs up with MAtt Damon?What’s it with Bollywood stars and their fixation with Hollywood? First we heard about Amitabh starring in a Hollywood production, which never happened. Daughter -in- law Aishwarya , who was believed to be ditching Bollywood for a much hyped career in Hollywood, came back with only two minor Hollywood roles under her belt. Then there’s Mallika Sherawat who’s going all crazy about her Hissss…. and if you remember we also had Priyanka Chopra staging an elaborate romance with Gerard Butler.

After all this hocum, how could Kareena stay away? There are rumors that Chhote Nawab’s arm candy will be moving and shaking in a FIFA World Cup music video with Hollywood hottie Matt Damon. Is Kareena making the age old mistake of eyeing this as an entry into Hollywood? I mean, already her potential ‘latka jhatkas’ have been touted as an ‘improving relationship between Hollywood and Bollywood’!

We’re with you Kareena, but we do hope you have a tight grip on reality, because this is the stuff crashing dreams are made of!

salman_khan_3Guess who needs a break from the regular Bollywood stuff? Its the bad boy of Bollywood, Sallu Miyan! It seems that brother Arbaaz’s foray into movie making is taking a toll on Salman. Or maybe its just that he needs to spend some time with himself, figure where his life is heading.

Well, he really has been working a lot. Of course, Arbaaz’s ‘Dabang’ is  making life tough for Sallu, with all its stunts. Then, he also has to go to Dubai to launch a fashion label and then it will nearly be time for IIFA. He’s thinking of spending some time in his favourite destination – London. Maybe the break is just what he needs to cool off his head and come back to IIFA with a clear mind. We don’t want Sallu Miyan to lose his cool when he sees Aishwarya with hubby Abhishek at IIFA now, do we?

Pritish Nandy

Pritish Nandy is one smart businessman. Smart enough to know that poetry has few takers in today’s literary world.

So what does he do to grab eyeballs at the release of his book of poems titled ‘Again’? Elementary, my dear Watson! He turns on the force of star power, something he’s got in plenty, courtesy his standing with filmy types.

Sample this- the eclectic panel of experts assembled to sing hosannas to Nandy’s work comprised of- ahem- Anil Dharker, Anupam Kher, Chetan Bhagat and Shashi Tharoor. At hand to lend support were Dolly Thakore, Gulzaar- the who’s who of culterati. And finally the masterstroke- none other than Aishwarya Rai to do the honours of releasing the book. That would surely succeed in making everyone sit up and take notice. So there!

Brilliant move, I tell you! Nandy had the masses clamouring to get in, if only to get a look at the host of celebrities assembled at the venue. And Nandy looked as pleased as the cat that had got the cream!!

One last question….in the melee, did anyone remember that the function was about poetry to start with? Hmm……

The Hornet's NestDo you remember the simpler times, the times when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan didn’t make a fool of herself at Cannes? No? Well, it figures. While the father-in-law is busy writing about how politicians are making his life hell and hubby Abhi is busy being a ten headed monster, Aishwarya has been left alone to fend for her hornet’s nest, oops… hairdo. Seriously, when was the last time she was ever appreciated at one of these award functions?

I mean what’s wrong with Ash? What’s with all the throwing of kisses in the air? Was it for the benefit of the media, which it seems went into fits of laughter after seeing her walk the red carpet. For all we know, the media was going crazy photographing her weird hairdo for the ‘Bloopers at Cannes’ page! But it’s hard to get Mrs. Bachchan down, definitely hard with her hair towering so high up on her head! Which brings us to another question… What was L’Oreal thinking? Of course they wanted Aishwarya to stand out since she is their brand ambassador, but to add miles to her height, only with the hairdo, well… requires some guts and as always, no brains.

Here’s to Aishwarya, may you never use your brains when dressing up for the Cannes Film Festival.

You have to give it to Salman Khan. His movie Wanted is running so successfully that his critics have now turned tail.

Sallu Bhai’s mass appeal is of a kind that, I am sure, is envied by the other two Khans: Aamir and Shah Rukh. He has proved beyond doubt that he is very much in business. And, at a time when such confirmation was very necessary. It was up against Dil Bole Hadippa at the halls, which has Shahid Kapoor still gloating over his Kaminey success and a very sexed up Rani Mukherjee.

This should send a message to Shahid who’s busy confusing himself to be Shah Rukh Khan already. And poor Rani, all that skin show came to naught. She had almost starved herself for over a year to wriggle into a bikini. We can’t even say better luck next time to you, Rani, and you know why.

Anyway, getting back to Salman dear, his all-out publicity efforts for Wanted paid off. And he celebrated in style, too, with each fly in Bollywood invited except for the people he loves to hate, namely SRK, the Bachchans, and Vivek Oberoi.

But he should do something about his ever-growing hate list. When Aamir and Shah Rukh have buried the hatchet and will soon work together in Danny Boyle’s next film, don’t you think Salman that you too could profit significantly by a similar collaboration? So how about forgiving and forgetting and moving on like a big-minded, successful superstar is expected to do?

After creating much bad blood all over Bollywood land, Shah Rukh Khan is now trying to make things right by extending his olive branch everywhere. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan went apologizing to Aishwarya, hoping to work with her again. Then after he was mauled by the media for creating the ruckus over his detention at Newark, he has been trying to set things right in the light of his upcoming movie My Name is Khan.

It seems that the king has run severely short of publicity stunts. Why else would he go around visiting fellow actors on whom he never even cast a glance before? Though Akshay has always maintained that SRK was the real king indeed, I never knew that they were on such good terms. Now you see photographs of the two superstars together on the sets of Blue. These two are definitely setting an example for others to follow but knowing Bollywood as we all do, something just doesn’t sit right.

Bearing in mind there are also big projects for both SRK and Akki lined up for release, I can’t help but wonder if both of them have come together because they have exhausted all the cheap hype options they are allowed as aging male Bollywood bigwigs. Unlike the femme fatales like Rani Mukherjee or Mallika Sherawat they are not allowed to flash a little boob here and there or saunter around in teeny-weeny bikinis for drooling camera men. So poor ol’ SRK and Akki must keep their pants on and squeeze the phony BFF/nice-guys publicity ruse for all it’s worth. Ah, life can be an *itch sometimes.

Preity Zinta is doing an item number in Salman Khan’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna. And can you believe it- her look, outfit and jhatka-matkas are eerily similar to Aishwarya Rai’s in Kajra Re. Talk about co-incidences, phew!

Hey, I’m not jumping to any conclusions here, no way. Nor am I creating a storm in a teacup….

But I get the distinct feeling that apna Sallu Bhai hasn’t been able to get Aishwarya out of his system yet. Yeah, a modern, though covert Devdas. And that’s the reason why he’s got good friend Preity to imitate Ash’s every Kajra re nuance in this item number!

And it’s not the first time that Salman’s done this. Remember a certain Sneha Ullal- Ash’s lookalike whom he had introduced in that movie Lucky? Salman’s dictate seems to be- if you can’t get the original, do the next best thing– get a stand in.

If only Salman could do that in his love life too. Poor Sallu Bhai….even after all these years, to think that Aish can still affect him like this way. That must have been one intense love affair.

In a recent chat show, Sallu confirmed he does not like Katrina Kaif flaunting minis.

Time to grow up Sallu, (though you are already overgrown for marriage). Kat is growing closer to people her age, and smart as she is, she will soon realize how boring it is, to be in the company of an older man, who is overly possessive about his girlfriend.

We are yet to find a dumber person than you. There is a lo….ng list of girls who got tired of your erratic behavior and have moved on to greener pastures. Well, at least Aishwarya and Sangeeta Bijlani. We do not keep track of nobodies like Somi Ali.

Change your stupid 18th century attitude dude, before Kat dumps you once and for all.

Be it fast-fading Bollywood stars or one- or two-hit wonders, every one’s taking to TV, and how!

The latest in line for TV bounty is set to be Abhishek Bachchan, and about time, wouldn’t you say? We don’t see any of his big releases on the horizon in the near future. Way to go Abhi! I always say if you are fast fading on the big screen, make a mad dash for the little one and cash in on old memories before fickle fans forget you.

Anyways, rumour has it that he’ll probably be launching a game show on the lines of the American show Bingo. Only, with papa’s grand entry as a ‘pop psychologist’ in Big Boss 3, Abhishek may have to struggle his way through the TRPs. No free lunches here Abhi.

But Baby B’s one up over Big B with his appearance on Oprah, thanks to the kindness of wifey Ash. One way or the other, you can’t beat Abhishek at being and staying lucky. Let’s see if the stars are still in his favour.
