Legal trouble



Trouble doesn't want to stop following Salman Khan.
Kanpur police have lodged an FIR against the actor,  his bodyguard Shera and a few others for assaulting a few anti-corruption supporters on August 24.
Apparently the supporters asked Salman to join their cause which caused the ass-kicking they got in return.


We all know what happens with Salman when it comes to legal trouble. He slides his way out of it.
He's been arrested numerous times and even sentenced to years in jail. However, he hasn't spent more than a few days in jail. Remember the drunk driving and killing people on the pavement incident? Or the poaching incident in 2006?


Here is what I mean - 
In Sep 2002, he was arrested for drunk driving when he ran over a few people sleeping on the pavement in Mumbai killing one. Sure enough, after a lengthy trial and tons of media coverage he was found not-guilty/


In Feb 2006, he was arrested for hunting the endangered Chinkara when shooting Hum Saath Saath Hain. He was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in jail. He spent a total of 3 days in jail.


In Aug 2007, the Jodhpur sessions court turned down his appeal in the Chinkara case and upheld the 5 year sentence. He was arrested then and was released a week later.


Lets not forget his harassment of his ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai right after they broke up. Her parents complained to the police. And Mumbai police released a tape of a phone conversation between Salman and Aishwarya where he threatened her. Sure enough, after "investigation", the tape was declared a fake.


He's going to get a slap on the wrist if anything and things will go back to the way they were.
Sucks. I know.

Chikni Chameli

After showering praise on The Dirty Picture, K.Jo tweeted Katrina's first look as Chikni Chameli in Agneepath.
Unfortunately its not as spectacular - her body is in great shape but that's about it.
She's got a little bit of Munni (with the traditional look) and Shiela going on. Take a look and decide for yourself.


Dirty Dirty!

The Dirty Picture is out to get you!


Vidya Balan and Emran Hashmi made it to the cover of the December issue of trashy Stardust magazine. Vidya looks like another version of her sexed-up self that she's been using to promote her latest. And Emraan must have been happy just to be in the picture considering he's been feeling ignored with Vidya apparently hogging the limelight at the film promo events.

And on the same cover Kareena makes an appearance as well - although in smaller print! Someone at Stardust has an awesome sense of humor!

BTW why is Vivek Oberoi still relevant??? He made it to top right??

Apparently Vidya is also being considered for being the face of a Victoria's Secret campaign aimed at Indian women.
So far, it keeps getting better for her. So far she hasn't issued a statement and Balaji Telefilms refuses to comment. 


Fugly



This is what Ekta Kapoor wore to a sangeet. A frigging SANGEET!! She needs a new designer ASAP. And someone needs to start a bonfire and burn everything that looks like an oversized shawl. And while you are at it, throw all her footwear in too!!

Woopsie!!



Someone with either a dislike for Mahest Bhatt or just to screw with him hacked his account and sent a bunch of objectionable messaged to Kamaal "I am better than SRK" Khan, Poonam "I'll strip anytime" Pandey, Sunny "I love India" Leone and Ghanta Singh who is supposedly an RJ.
Hopefully his password wasn't "parveen". That would have been super easy to crack.
Dunno if he has filed a complaint or if anyone is investigating .

Ek Main Aur Ek Tu - Trailer

The trailer was released today and it reminds me of a mix of the Ross-Rachel Vegas marriage from Friends and What happens in Vegas..
Cute though but not cute enough. Here's the official trailer.

Ek Deewana Tha

Did anyone know about this film??
Its releasing in January 2012 and has Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson in the lead roles. The movie is a remake of a Tamil and Telugu movie - supposed to be a sap-fest.
Did really well in the South though
Considering its an AR Rahman movie, I am surprised I didn't know about this sooner. Must be losing my touch!


So far - I am NOT going to watch it! I don't like sap-fests!


Ek Main aur Ek Tu

The first poster for Karan Johar's coochie-coochie-fest is out. Kareena reminds me of her Poo character from K3G. I have nothing to say about Imran Khan - he looks normal.


if you are planning on seeing The Dirty Picture over the weekend, you can watch the trailer for this movie there. That is, once Karan Johar removes the word "sex" from the trailer. The censor board was all over him for the use of the word "sex" in the trailer.
Of course, its OK if people "make love" to each other on screen but "sex" is a big no-no. Hypocrites!!


Indian Flash Mob

Watch the awesome flash mob to Rang De Basanti at Mumbai CST station on Sunday. I wonder why we didn't hear about this earlier.




Watch out for
- the massive mob of people gather quickly at the beginning of the video to watch the flash mobbers dance.
- Guy in Pink shirt get all into it near the 2:50 mark
- Old lady shaking it at 3:13. And calling out to others to join her


Not cool - the absolute lack of applause at  the end. Everyone just goes back to doing whatever the heck they were doing before it all began.

Tying the knot



They have been together for quite some time now and their relationship has grown. I can hardly wait for the wedding next year. There will be a number of functions and I am very excited about what to wear


Soha Ali Khan on Saif-Kareena's wedding.
Waiting for Kareena to throw a bitch-fest and refute that statement in 1..2...3.....

Side effects

Do you remember Pyar Ke Side Effects from many years ago? It is the only tolerable Mallika "Hollywood wants me. Really!!" Sherawat film thats out there.
Anyways, the film was pretty decent and Mallika actually got praised for her acting ability which no one thought she possessed.


Filmmakers are putting together a sequel to that movie called Shaadi ke Side Effects and have gone through a round of heroine-changes. Vidya Balan is the latest to be considered but film makers aren't too happy with her because she is asking for more money than whats being offered to Farhan Akhtar who will be playing male lead.
Dunno why they are upset - it is expected considering she's delivered a few hits and with The Dirty Picture releasing this weekend, I won't be surprised if Vidya ups her price even more.


If all works out, it will be a rather odd pair on screen - Farhan and Vidya.

Mutancy

Apparently Kangana Ranait's role in Krishh 2 is of a mutant. The designing team is currently working on the costume which is supposed to be a "Second skin" but will be easy to put on and take off.
Papa Roshan wants to make sure Kangana looks hotter than Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft.
Considering Kangana looks barely human with all that plastic on her, making her look like a mutant may not be that difficult.
Here is what her costume is supposed to look like

More Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl promotions - 94.3 FM

Ranveer - I may have been a cassanova but now I am a good boy
Anushka - We are not boyfriend-girlfriend but we are in a special place that only we understand
Girl on right - Are you fricking kidding me?

Boy on left - Am I doing it right?
Ranveer  - Look at me, people
Anushka - I am going to fake-smile but we all know I would rather be watching Tees Maar Khan instead
Girl on right - OMG I can't stop laughing from the previous picture!!

Not very force-ful





I know Force has been out for a while but I only gt around to seeing it this past weekend. I had heard that the film was tolerable and John wasn't as bad.
Also, the guy at the video store highly recommended it when I asked him for a good movie to watch this weekend. After I watched the movie, I cursed him for wasting 2.5 hours of my life. Here is my quick review - 


The movie was choppy - at times, it was hard to tell what the heck was going on


How the hell did Genelia get John's cell number when he didn't give it to her? Stalk much, dear?


John's performance was nothing to boast about. He could boast about his bod but thats pretty much it. Everything else was terrible.


Genelia was worse than John. I've heard she is an OK actress but after I watched this movie, she was terrible. I wanted to throw the remote at my TV to make her stop talking. Her "ACP Sir" bit didn't help. And when she "wanted to make love", it was not convincing at all, no passion in her voice - probably coz she was thinking of Ritesh Deshmukh. 


Vidyut Jamwal is the man! He was better  than John and Genelia! No wonder John was pissed off at with Force in general although it was his first solo hit. And no wonder he doesn't want to do the sequel. Vidyut definitely made an impact. His abs did too!


The music was pretty decent - no complaints there.

On the Bachchan's baby-gate

I regularly follow Sayesha's blog for her unique views on everything possible.
And last week she had a hilarious take on the Bachchan family's "difficulty" on choosing a name for their newest arrival.


It's a scene of total chaos at the Bachchans'. The Bachchan clan is in the living room, everyone talking at once. There is a punditji sitting on a mat on the floor. Sayesha Smitten Showbiz Kitten is sitting on a branch on the tree in the garden, hurriedly taking notes.

Amitabh - Ok everybody, I have called this urgent meeting because it has become a matter of embarrassment that we don't have a name for the baby yet! So let's get cracking and decide on the name today itself.

Abhishek (beams proudly) - Pa, I have already asked everyone on Twitter to suggest names. What an idea, sirjee, huh? Bas ek do din ki baat hai, achha sa naam rakh denge.



Read the full post.
Warning - you may be pale from excessive laughter and  may need help to get off the floor.

Gems galore!

Wow, this week has really started off with some crazy-ass awesome quotes. Here is a gem from Kareena's mouth when asked if she received 8 crores including a share of the film's profits- 


I've been rewarded with a role of a lifetime. Everything else is a bonus.


Farah Khan has FINALLY accepted that Tees Maar Khan was a piece of crap.
Watch Farah at 0:48 agreeing with her biggest hater on Arjun Rampal's Love 2 Hate U that TMK was terrible.


Quotable quotes



We cannot be tagged as boyfriend-girlfriend or lovers or just friends. It's a space only we both understand.


Anushka Sharma on her love-hate relationship with Ranveer Singh. 
That's a very polite way of saying - we are friends with benefits.

Yea right!

"I am not casting her for her body, but I see that loneliness and heartbroken soul that is behind that smile."

Spotted

An extremely unrecognizable Kangana Ranaut at Arjun Rampal's birthday bash. Is there any part of her face that isn't plastic???


Saif looking rounder around the waist and a tired looking Kareena in Bandra...what's the matter Saif? Something catch your fancy there?

Woopsie!!

Sooooooooooooo looks like more trouble for Rani and Aditya's lovefest.
We all know Rani Mukerjee and Aditya Chopra have been canoodling in secret over the past few eons years. Aditya isn't quite separated from his wife Payal who is very close to Aditya's parents - Yash and Pamela.


And Payal is now asking for a huge payout alimony to let Aditya go waltzing into Rani's arms legally - a sum of a few crores per year.
Aditya almost shat his pants and told Rani he can't afford to divorce Payal which of course didn't go down too well.


So nowwww, Rani is looking to distance herself from Aditya and the YRF banner and look for work outside if someone will take her.
Apparently Aditya wanted Rani to be on the board of directors for YRFE but Yash and Pamela citing their hate for Rani wouldn't hear of it.


Pretending to cook

And while John was in Mumbai getting mauled while promoting Desi boyz, Bipasha was in Delhi at the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon cooking up a storm.....or pasta to be more specific ...


More desi boyz

Holy!! Those girls are out to maul him!!

Bro-mance  (hopefully)

Winding down for the weekend

This is from the IFFI event in Goa. Madhuri's sari looks a lot better here (at least from a distance) than that yucky yellow thing she wore when she inaugurated something. And holy OMFG! Is that Jacky Shroff? He hasn't aged that well at all!!


.
Some pictures should never be taken. And if they are taken, they should never be posted.
What is going on with her makeup? She looks like a ghost! And it isn't even spread evenly 




Boman Irani's son got married last week (Congratulations!!) and Aamir Khan showed up at the reception looking like this. Seriously, couldn't he find a suit???? Or just dress pants and a clean shirt and something that doesn't look like a pair of Skechers??




OMG! Is that Lara????


Will you stop taking my picture or should I call Aamir now?
Ritesh tried (and miserably failed) to do a Jersey Shore Pauly D blowout. Not working, my friend!

ATTITUDE!!
Ranbir telling the photogs exactly what he thought of them


Priyanka looking cheery.....she is going to unleash that album onto us BTW....whether  we like it or not!


Whats with the serious face? Did you hear Priyanka's singing? Or did she force you to buy her album?


He is cheery! Maybe Priyanka gave him a private singing session :P
But seriously, get rid of that cancer stick...ugh!

And so it starts....




Black Friday get more and more unsafe.
These are a few crazy things that some stupid people did so far -
A woman in LA used pepper spray and injured 20people to get to the front of a line at a local Walmart on Thursday.
She she should be banned from Black Friday!!


2 idiots fired gunshots in a mall in Fayetteville, NC. Cops are still searching for them.


At another walmart in NY, a man was arrested after he injured 2 women during a fight.


Maybe we should stop shopping at Walmart!! At yet another Walmart in LA, a guy was shot after he refused to hand over his purchases to a bunch of guys trying to rob him. Thankfully the suspect is now in jail and the victim is in the hospital in stable condition.


This time, cops were involved. A granpa was shoved to the ground after cops thought he was shoplifting when he put a game in his waistband so he could free his hands to lift his grandson.
I don't think he is bringing Sonny back to another Black Friday event!


The Occupy Wall Street crowd is expected to protest today which will likely cause some drama at the big chains.


Be careful people!! Lets remember we are normal human beings, not some crazy ass animals....or Bollywood celebs :P



I am not BC

I've received a few emails from folks asking if I am BC.


No, I am not BC. 
Come on, her style of writing is no where close to mine. She is way more humorous and honest when it comes to talking about Bollywood. I don't think this comes anywhere close to her blog :)


I've been blogging for years (at a different blog on different topics) and decided to start this after a friend asked me to launch a site where she could go to for her daily dose of everything. I started off with Bollywood stuff (coz thats what I am addicted to) on this blog but I plan on talking about a few different things - not about just Bollywood.


I am still experimenting with this blog and will start/stop topics as time goes on. 
Really depends on where things go.
But for once and for all - I am NOT BC.


I hope this does not discourage any readers that may have started following this blog. And I welcome any comments/suggestions on how to make this site a better and more useful site. So if there is something specific you want to see on it, let me know!
Thanks!

Ohhh snap!!

Turns out a very frustrated man slapped the Indian agriculture minister, Sharad Pawar at a very public literary function in New Delhi yesterday venting his anger against rising prices and corruption.
Pawar was taken aback but continued towards the exit.
The idiot Harvinder Singh is now in custody.


This guy has some serious issues. On 19 Nov 2011, he attached Sukh Ram, the Telecom Minister outside the Rohini Court.
HIs neighbors called him "psychotic" and says he wants to teach politicians a lessons by attacking them.


WTF?!?!?! Does he know this is real life and not a Bollywood movie?
Violence is not cool!!
Watch the video of the mad man going nuts at 0:50!







Nargis has verbal diarrhea

Now that she is done with Rockstar, Nargis Fakhri has moved on to greener pastures.
As the Kwan event at the Hyatt last week, Nargis attended with a female friend and steered clear of Ranbir Kapoor. Instead she chose to "market" herself to everyone else and became BFFs with Ranbir's ex - Deepika. I wonder what they talked about :P



And now, Nargis has been crying to anyone who gives a crap about how upset she is that she didn't get to dub her own lines in Rockstar. Is she kidding?????? Darling, have you heard yourself talk in Hindi? Its worse than Katrina!! 
Talk about biting the hand that fed her!


Imtiaz not to be outdone has to say - When Nargis joined the set, one of my ADs (assistant director) felt that I had erred in casting her, but slowly it worked out.


Ah, he is more diplomatic and blamed his AD :)
I am with Imtiaz Ali on this one - there is no way she should dub her own lines unless she gets better. 
Watch starting 1:11 in the below video and decide for yourself - 







Not so much verbal diarrhea

Ranveer Singh did an interview recently while promoting his upcoming Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl and actually didn't sound as much of an airhead that he is - 




On being termed as a ladies man - 
It feels absolutely great being termed a ladies man, but that doesn’t mean I am a Casanova, at least not in this phase of my life. I might have been, but now I am a good boy. People tend to confuse the real me with the reel me. It was a thrill during my teenage years where I two and three timed girls, but that’s a thing of the past.


On his "friendship" with Anushka Sharma - 
When I began my career, she was my only close friend. We are still great friends. We catch movies together and after shoot grab a meal together also. But beyond that, there is no other relationship. I mean, come on, look at her! Doesn’t she deserve someone better than me? She is beautiful, intelligent and very independent. I honestly think she deserves Mr Right and I am not Mr Right now!


On doing multi-hero projects - 
The benchmark is set and any project that raises it, multi-star cast or not, I would be keen to do it. Yes, I have to be excited about the script, my role and the co-star.



Desi Boyz is out!


And it looks like its not that bad!
TOI gave it 3.5 stars and said - Can't take your eyes off. Entertain yourself. Watch Desi Boyz. 


Folks at DNA forgot to leave their brains at home when they watched the movie and weren't as impressed - 2 stars - If your expectations are that low, you may not be entirely disappointed with Desi Boyz.


Taran Adarsh analyzed the film to bits - DESI BOYZ has an entertaining first half and decent performances as its plusses, but a tedious and least compelling second hour stands out like a sore thumb. Leaves a lot to be desired! 


Komal Nahta gave it 3.5 stars - Desi Boyz is a feel good entertainer. Watch Desi Boyz for the music, comedy and performances.


I guess there is one more thing to do on Girls night when its too cold to go out - Get the margaritas flowing, don't forget lots of chocolate and curl up to watch Desi Boyz!


Here are some pics from the screening....where the heck was Akshay BTW?



She IS hot!!

Yes we know you are, darling! Your staff has been talking about your "bossiness" for a while now

Why so serious?

Damn it John!! Get out of character and stop groping me!

Puppy dog is so lost!

Look who made it! Does Mommy darling know you are at this screening? Do you have her approval?

Sonam and Rhea decided it would be awesome (NOT)  if they wore the exact same thing!
I don't like what she has on

Fugly!

So this is what happenned to Shahid Kapoor today.
He woke up, looked at himself in the mirror and went - Aw crap!!! I gotta be at the Colgate Maxfresh event!


He then rummaged through his closet for anything that looked whiter than his overall appearance, put it on and ran out the door.


No time to shave! No time to run a comb through that mop of hair! No time to wash that face!
And then he fell asleep posing for pictures.
Perfection!


Why did they even invite him? Have you seen his teeth?????

Bollywood Walk of Fame

Looks like Mumbai is going to get a Bollywood Walk of Fame sometime soon.
UTV who is behind the initiative announced the walk of fame in Bandra.
Apparently Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are some of the names being considered for the first round of honors.
I am surprised Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor aren't part of the hitlist.
But considering Aish and SRK are on the first list, its no wonder Salman isn't.
and Kareena is going to throw a fit that she isn't part of the first round but her best friend Priyanka is.


And considering UTV is behind the initiative, its a surprise Vidya Balan isn't. Ah well, maybe the next round then.



Bitchfest



Did you see that look?!?!?! "no problems working with each other", my butt!!!

Their body language says it all. There is no way these 2 got along "perfectly fine" as they claim! Wait till the movie is released and they'll change their tunes!

Cover story

Sonakshi Sinha somehow bagged the cover of the 4th anniversary issue of the FHM magazine. She unveiled the fourth anniversary issue of the magazine in Mumbai yesterday


She actually covered her forehead! She looks good! I don't like her footwear very much though. Its a major zinger compared to the rest of her outfit.


Thats her on the cover showing a LOT of leg....she doesn't look bad though...gotta admit it


Ha! Did Daddy dearest approve this picture? Or is that sound daddy Sinha saying "Khamosh!!" to his daughter and taking away her Salman-mingling privileges?


This is Nigaar Khan, one of the Indian Kardashian sisters who was at the FHM event. WTF is going on with her right eyebrow??? She's going to need a MUCH better stylist if she is to compare with the likes of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney!!
