Freida Pinto is Skinny and therefore not good for Indian TV!

Friday, January 30th, 2009


Actress Freida Pinto who has found international success with the film Slumdog Millionaire has never found the same success in her native India because her boobs weren’t big enough and is considered by most as too skinny.

While speaking to the Complex magazine the actress says, “We have the voluptuous, full-figured woman thing. People say I need to get a boob job, but I’m just comfortable the way I am.”

Why are women typecast in every corner of the world, in the West big butts are a complete taboo and are voluptuous bodies while (like the actress says) in India they want full-figured woman. That is really a loss for Indian television and a gain for western world.

She’s completely fine and beautiful the way she is and if she is happy with her appearance then that’s how people should except her.

Ashton Kutcher’s pesky next door neighbor

Friday, January 30th, 2009


Ashton Kutcher recently posted a direct verbal attack against his next door neighbor in the form of a video where he can be heard saying the following: “It’s 7.30am, and I gotta’ wake up in my bedroom to my fucking jackass neighbor doing this next to my porch! This is where my deadweed neighbor has decided to be building a house at 7am pounding on steel and welding right next to my friggin’ house! I woke up this morning to pounding, welding steel. I’m gonna’ lose it on this guy, I’m gonna lose it, I’m gonna lose it. This has been going on for four months now! This guy has got another thing comin. I really don’t understand  why Ashton Kutcher posted angry videos of himself on his blog, instead of just working out the problem with his neighbor. What, does he expect some fan to go berserk out of frenzied dedication and burn down his neighbor’s new house and impale the owner?

Gwyneth Paltrow out to prove she’s ‘Natural’ TV star

Friday, January 30th, 2009


The Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paitrow wanted to show that she is not edgy. She also wanted to show to her fans that she ain’t uptight. And to do that she has decided to star in a TV show along with US chef Mario Batali on the show ‘Spain..On the Road again’.

Mario Batali and Gwyneth have known each other since the last 10 years and by this show she wants to salience those who think she is not easily approachable.

In other words the actress is going to a complete image and public relations makeover and what better way to reach a huge audience than to use television as her first choice medium.

According to Mario Batali “I’m sure the reason she did it was because people thought she was kind of uptight. But she’s not. She’s natural. She’s accessible – and it gave her a chance to show that.”

So Mario is speaking on her behalf and trying to read out some words that he has mugged up that the representatives of the actress asked him to help them with.

Check out the recently released video for “Tonight,” the first single from the Soundtrack, featuring great live footage from the movie.

The New Year has already proven to be a continuation of their hot streak with a performance at the Kids’ Inaugural Concert in D.C. and an upcoming performance on the Grammys where they are nominated for Best New Artist.

Leighton Meester’s male preferences

Thursday, January 29th, 2009


The actress has recently admitted to the press that she has a distinct preference for males that are wild and rebellious. Leighton Meester said: “I think guys who are rebels and make their own rules are appealing. I don’t want to tame anybody. I want them to be dark and bad. Guys who are a little bad – and by bad, I mean they’re not like constantly around – I consider gold.” Bikers watch out! Also, “dark and bad” may very well apply to Darth Vader or any other villain in the real or unreal universe might be able to satisfy Leighton Meester’s male preferences.

Weather girl Ulrika Jonsson wins 2009 Celebrity Big Brother

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009


Former weather girl Ulrika Jonsson’s victory in the 2009 Celebrity Big Brother is the biggest shock in the history of reality TV. A lot of people, including Jonsson herself, did not expect her to win and Jonsson was even predicting earlier that she would be the first housemate who would be evicted from the Big Brother House. With a 56.7% share of the final vote, Jonsson was able to beat music journalist Terry Christian with 43.3% voting share and US rapper Coolio. The 41-year old Jonsson said her stay inside Big Brother’s house was one of the weirdest experiences in her life. She said she did not expect to win since her housemates found her bossy and she is not at all surprised about that because even her husband tells her that all the time. However, she could not help herself considering she has four kids in the house who has to take care of organization. In fact, she said, she would be mortified if she is kept inside by the voters saying she wanted to go home already to be with her children.

Christian, who called Jonsson the biggest ego in the show, said he liked Ulrika despite her moment because she has a good sense of humor. While winning the Celebrity Big Brother can open doors, it does not however guarantee fame and fortune. But even if she did not win, Jonsson already had a hefty £175,000 in her bank account for signing up with the show. Among the previous winners are model Chantelle Houghton, comedian Jack Dee, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and singer Mark Owen.

Madonna planning extended tour of Sticky & Sweet

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009


Pop queen Madonna is planning to do a follow up after the stellar success of her global jaunt in 2008 with a new Sticky & Sweet tour. She is on a high and wants to make full use of her recent success and is making plans to do a string of new shows for the summer in a bid to please fans in cities she couldn’t perform in the first time around.

She has already firm plans to tour in July and August and will extend her tour to include shows in Marseilles, France and Milan, Italy.

Should be named ‘situation sticky and sour’– not many seem to be enthusiastic about the tour—
I suppose she brings in the money from all the people who go to see her though..funnily enough i do like some of her songs from the past.

Just wish she would come to terms with different attire she would certainly be more attractive with some new thoughts. For me Tina turner has been sexy and a great artist for years and years, she doesn’t usually dance and sing in her panties..She wears miniskirts and leggings covering the very top of her legs…she is still glamorous now….

Underwear firm gets boost from Renee Zellweger

Monday, January 26th, 2009


Innerwear maker Hanes has received unexpected boost from Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger and her statement has made her the unofficial brand ambassador for the company. According to Renee Zellweger it was the firm’s pantyhose saved her life on the freezing set of her new film.

Zellweger explains, “I didn’t know cold like that, it was a whole different kind of experience. I had to develop new survival skills. It was a whole new language for the biological things that happen. Who knew that pantyhose could be so very important – three or four pairs at a time. I never imagined that I would rejoice at the pantyhose laid out on the bed by wardrobe every morning. They were essential. I would not be here today were it not for the Hanes.”

3-4 Hanes underwear point on together at the same time just to beat off the cold, why didn’t she consult someone and any experienced person would have suggested her to put on those ‘big’ pajama pants, they would have kept her warm!

NSYNC Lies

Friday, January 23rd, 2009


In a recent interview, former NSYNC member JC Chasez calls his former band mate Lance Bass a liar. Lance has been majorly talking about having an NSYNC reunion and that it’s going to happen really soon. However, JC said “No. We haven’t discussed anything like that. I don’t know. Honestly, I can’t speak for him or as to why he would say that but I know nothing about one.” We all know Justin Timberlake doesn’t need to do the reunion because he has more than enough money. I can’t speak for the rest of them. Maybe that’s why Lance is saying those things – he needs work.

Being the daughter of the President of the United States has its perks and getting celebrities in your backyard is one of them. This was found out by Presidential daughters Malia and Sasha Obama during their first night at the White House when they got a surprise visit from the Jonas Brother. The girls were left alone with their Sidwell Friends (although having hundreds of White Staff and bodyguards wouldn’t quality as being alone) while their parents Barack and Michele Obama were making their inaugural ball rounds. While playing scavenger hunt to familiarize them with the White House, Malia and Sasha discovered Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas hiding in the East Room. It turned out the Jonas Brothers, who came with their parents, were invited to surprise and entertain the girls and their friends. The little surprise got a big help from First Lady Michelle Obama.

The Jonas Brother played three acoustic songs and gamely posed with the Obama kids and their guests. The Obama kids met the Jonas Brothers earlier during the Kids Inaugural concert. The Jonas Brothers performed with Miley Cyrus durign the Kids concert which had about 14,000 in the crowd.

Obama’s list grows, Mariah Carey next

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009


Among the performers at the inauguration ball today there is the super-diva Mariah Carey who will be singing “Hero” at the big show, a song I need remind you she thought of while taking a dump. Ironic that she had only these words to say about the event: “It’s fitting for him. It’s appropriate.” For the sake of the staff who will be working there I hope Mariah Carey won’t be showing off how much of a diva she tries to be, especially since Beyonce Knowles will be there too… and God knows who else. Woe unto those who have to put up with them all.
