Is Kareena Going to Dance Circles Around Matt Damon at FIFA?
Filed under : Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Mallika Sherawat, Priyanka Chopra
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!

No sooner than Amitabh Bacchan start his (mis)adventures with the Tweety bird, do we get to hear how he is proud of the fact that Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity on the social networking site knows no bounds… Recently, Shah Rukh crossed the 4,00,000 followers mark on twitter and guess who was most heartily congratulating him? It was none other than gramps Bacchan.
Bacchan doesn’t stop there. Just like Karan Johar’s melodramatic family sagas, which do not know when to end, Amitabh too went on to suggest a name for a country that might one day belong to the superstar.
“How about – “KINGDOM”, taking up from your own popular and deserving epithet of KING!”
This is what Bacchan tweets happily. Well, if we didn’t know any better, we would have thought that this was really from the heart, however we are none the wiser and all we can see behind this charade, is raw animal hatred. To answer back, the witty King retorted
“I have a name for your World Mr. Bachchan. The , thanks for letting us be a part of it sir. Love & health to you.”
Keep congratulating each other men, it gives us something to laugh about. Now wait a second, while I go and throw up some.

In Bollywood’s Garden of Eden, Twitter is the one snake that is spreading misgivings and causing discomforts. Despite the public fallout of popular political figures like Shashi Tharoor and IPL honcho Lalit Modi, Twitter continues to charm politicians and film stars alike. The latest addition to Twitter’s enviable collection of controversy conjurers is none other than Amitabh Bachchan. As if the first family of Bollywood is not getting its fair share of controversies, Amitabh has opened up this new Pandora’s Box. Already every alternate day, Amitabh is taken pot shots at because of the things that he candidly writes on his blog. Now with Twitter, his thoughts will be immediately transported to us lesser mortals. Oh the throes of agony that I foresee…!
When will these guys begin to understand that the controversies that they stir does not make them popular. What it does is magnify irrelevant issues and make them bigger than the more important things in life. So maybe just for sometime, they need to leave twitter alone.

Bigg Boss 3: Bringing down the house with creaky old men
Filed under : Amitabh Bachchan, Baba Ramdev, Bitchiest, Mika Singh, Payal Rohtagi, Rahul Mahajan, Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Sherlyn Chopra
Is Bigg Boss Season 3 going to be all about stuffy, creaking old men? First, we have Mr Bachchan as the pop psychologist (don’t ask him what that means, because he has no clue either), who will turn 68 in a few days. Then, we hear that, horror of horrors, Pramod Mutahlik, the leader of Ram Sena, may be in, too.
Baba Ramdev, bless his soul, opted out of the show. Else, he’d have added to the count of hairy scary men.
And, now, it seems that Rajesh Khanna is tipped to be in Bigg Boss house. For God’s sake, is he even alive? From where are the Colors people digging out these relics from? Whom will you stuff in next? Shammi Kapoor?
Much as I hate to say it, for once my heart was gladdened to know that Sherlyn Chopra will be there in all her booby grandeur. After all, one does need some eye candy when boxed in with such botoxed and starched men. Apart from handling all the male attention, she will be expected to take on some bitchy responsibilities previously handled by Payal Rohtagi. I’m sure Sherlyn won’t let us down.
But who will take Rahul Mahajan’s place? I don’t see any of the elderlies coming anywhere close to the craziness quotient of Jr Mahajan. I have a suggestion for the channel people: why not rope in Mika? You can count on him any day to be crazy, with or without a camera watching. And it can do wonders for your TRP.

Our prayers have been answered!!
We no longer have to face Sach Ka Saamna or its smug presenter Rajeev Khandelwal. God bless Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Saurabh Narang for that.
Both have very bravely stepped up to cast Mr Khandelwal in their films Chenaab Gandhi and Return Gift respectively. Can’t thank them enough for delivering us from this overbearing twit with the hugely inflated ego.
And this has set him drooling big time. But there’s a teeny-weeny issue: he has to keep his hair long for SLB and cut it short for the other. Problem, you say? No problem, says Rajeev. He will chop, grill, or paint his hair, if required, even go bald for Bhansali. Hair will grow back, but you can’t trust your luck too much these days, you know, and Rajeev is aware of that.
He’s also reportedly not stopped jumping up and down after hearing that his co-actor is Amitabh Bachchan in Bhansali’s movie. Frankly, I don’t know why he’s so excited. The name Big B has stuck on, but Bachchan will pretty much do anything these days, short of hustling money on street corners with a tin cup, to finance his long-due retirement. Rajeev, I mean, if he can be a part of that sleazefest Bigg Boss 3 is it really any surprise that he will share screen space with an insignificant, small bit player like you?

For our neo filmmakers (or shall we say blatant plagiarizers), the new mantra for success is: What works in Hollywood can easily be re-hashed, butchered, or simply shamelessly ripped off and served on a shiny new platter to our unsuspecting masses.
For the uninitiated, we’re talking about the so-called “breakthroughs” in modern Indian cinema, like Black, Partner and the recent blue-eyed Bollywood baby called Blue. It comes as little surprise then that a brilliantly-directed, sensitive and heartwarming movie like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button got our desi filmmakers gray cells working overtime, figuring out how best they could replicate the mega-success without having to waste too much time and money over trivial non-essentials like a script.
Enter the never-say-die angry young man of Indian Cinema, the Big B himself who decides to do a Brad Pitt cameo by playing son to his own son in an upcoming movie Paa. Not to be outdone, the long banished King Khan decides to pull a fast one by playing an Asperger’s Syndrome victim in his next flick, imaginatively named My Name is Khan.
And just before the train pulls out of Cheap Rip-off Town, Hritik Roshan decides to jump right on with Guzarrish, where he plays a paraplegic patient. Not one to shy away from undeserved publicity, Mr. Roshan also gave lengthy interviews about how he was ‘not allowed to workout or shave’ in order to deliver an authentic performance.
Ummm… sorry to be the one who breaks this to you Hritik, but in order to deliver a convincing performance, you have to act well – not just grow a beard and be lazy. As we all know, your last efforts at playing a mentally-challenged child rustled up quite a storm about how poor your knowledge of autism was. And no, we’re not buying in to the ‘eight year old child trapped in an adult man’s body’ bogus you’ve been feeding us all along. If you’re trying to be credible, please do your homework and stop harping about your scruffy beard.
But, I digress…
So, is mental disability the next ‘new thing’ for Bollywood, after our spate of pathetic superhero films, amnesia-inducing science fiction and laughable fantasy?
Dudes look, I have a great idea for you. How about a movie with a group of conniving, pretentious film makers who habitually steal ideas from foreigners and rehash them as their own? Maybe you can title it The Mimic Men? But wait, somebody already did that title….umm….that means it should be ideal for you!

Hrishita Bhatt goes missing? Thank heavens for small mercies!
Filed under : Amitabh Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Bitchiest, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Rakhee Sawant, Saurav Ganguly, Shilpa Shetty, Sushmitha Sen
Either director Devang Dholkia and producer Sunil Pathare are being royally stood up, or something’s really wrong with Hrishitaa Bhatt. In any case, apparently no one’s heard of or seen the woman in the last few days!
I can’t believe it. Kudos to her! I mean, how could the girl be so insightful? When people like Amitabh Bachchan are still about with their walking sticks and botoxed cheeks, I must say this girl has shown maturity far beyond her years to realize her time’s up and she must make her exit.
I can think of quite a few people who could similarly and helpfully disappear: Sushmitha Sen, Shilpa Shetty, Bipasha Basu, Rakhee Sawant (yes, age is not the only criterion), Saurav Ganguly… Hmm, the list goes on.
What a world it would be where we could start afresh with new faces, real talent and most importantly some brand new ruses for publicity.
I’ll keep hoping, I will.

Amitabh Bachchan is surely going senile in his old age. Why else would he want to be associated with that dumbass reality show Big Boss? Is he that in need of money or work or both? Or has he finally sold out to sleaze? It’s obvious a lot of cash has changed hands over the deal.
Let’s face it. The show grabbed some eyeballs in its first season because of the novelty of the concept. But it was all downhill from there on. Rife with backbiting, bitching, fake romances, and all kinds of seedy stuff, it fast degenerated into the biggest sleaze show on television.
Big Boss 2 took the cake in the sleaze department. Rahul Mahajan and company left no stone unturned in crossing the limits of decency to full out obscenity, hurting quite a few sensibilities in the process.
Amitabh Bachchan you are an icon. You are class and graciousness personified for both the common man as well as the elite. By agreeing to be a part of the scum that is Big Boss, you are degrading yourself in the eyes of your loyal fans and shattering their trust in you.
Only juveniles, delinquents and jobless nerds watch Big Boss. Stay away from it, Mr. Bachchan! Keep your dignity and self-respect…. these are rare qualities in Bollywood these days!

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.

While the whole world is struggling to cope up with the deadly H1N1 virus, there are actually people who are more worried about Aishwarya’s occasional sneezing.
After father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, made a big deal about her flu in his blog, messages started pouring in from all corners of the world (or so she claims!). So much so that Aishwarya’s phone crashed. Well, yes Aishwarya, being the daughter-in-law of the first family of Bollywood does have its perks. Even if that means that you need to buy a new phone every time you sneeze.
PS: Ash seems to have it all – a great career, loving hubby and a doting father in law! A certain Karishma may be wondering about what could have been!
